OTC: (FLST)
www.aviationfuelintl.com
Fuelstream was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 12, 1996. We are an in-wing and on-locationsupplier and distributor of aviation fuel to corporate, commercial, military, and privately owned aircraftthroughout the world. We also provide a variety of ground services either directly or through our affiliates,including concierge services, passenger and baggage handling, landing rights, coordination with local aviationauthorities, aircraft maintenance services, catering, cabin cleaning, customs approvals, and third-party invoicereconciliation. Our personnel assist customers in flight planning and aircraft routing aircraft, obtaining permits,arranging overflies, and flight follow services. We anticipate that worldwide demand for commercial, governmentand private air travel will continue to increase and that small fuel resellers such as Fuelstream will be able tocompete in this fragmented but highly competitive marketplace by delivering exceptional customer service andcompetitive pricing.
Company Background

www.aviationfuelintl.com
In 2015, Fuelstream obtained a $2M revolving line of credit from NuVenture Fund I, LLC for fuel purchases, and has the ability to expand the line of credit. Access to credit has and will result in more favorable pricing and, consequently, improved margins. Additional credit lines in excess of $10M are also being developed as the Company’s sales increase. Access to a stable credit provider will enable Fuelstream to service progressively larger accounts and obtain larger discounts from fuel producers.

We believe that air transportation will play a substantial role in the growth of worldwide trade, particularly in lessdeveloped regions that do not have a cost-effective means of reaching deep water shipping ports or who areseeking to expand same-day access to international trading markets. Domestically, aircraft utilization, whether forpassengers, freight, or corporate use, is closely correlated with the strength and growth of the U.S. economy.According to the FAA Aerospace Forecast for Fiscal Years 2015 to 2024, the U.S. economy will grow at an averageannual rate of 3% for the next ten years. The world economy is expected to increase at an average annual rate of3.1% over the same period.

Market Outlook
www.fuel-stream.com A World-Wide Fuel Supplier
We expect that a significant component of our future business will consist of fuel delivery to all-cargo commercialfreight carriers. This particular segment of the industry has increased its share of the freight market from 65% to 81%over the past ten years. There are a number of recent factors that account for the relative growth of the all-cargosector. One such factor was the October 2001 FAA security directive that strengthened security standards fortransporting cargo on passenger flights. A second factor was the decision of the U.S. Postal Service to use all-cargocarriers as a means to improve control over mail delivery. The all-cargo operator ’s share of the cargo market is forecast to increase to 84% by 2017.
We also intend to service the general aviation, corporate markets as well as both the national and internationalgovernment sectors through government and quasi-government contracts. The FAA Aerospace Forecast projects thatthe general aviation turbine powered aircraft fleet will grow 4% annually through 2017, Moreover the very light jet(VLJ) category is forecast to grow by 500 aircraft per year over the same time period. U.S. general aviation turbo jetair taxi hours flown is forecast to increase at an annual rate of 10.2% through 2017.
We also provide fuel and related ground services to small airlines and aircraft charter companies. We expect that emerging markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia will see a substantial increase in discount passenger travel and aircraft chartering in the coming years.
