**PART I**

**ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

Background.

     Alpine Air Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Alpine Air"), is engaged in the air cargo business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Alpine Aviation, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Alpine Aviation" or “Alpine”).  Alpine Aviation was organized on October 7, 1975, in the state of Utah.  Alpine Aviation has been operated by the same management since 1986.  Alpine Aviation is an air cargo operator, transporting mail packages and other time-sensitive cargo to  19 cities in the western portion of the mainland United States. Alpine Aviation began its operations in the 1970's with the intent of being a regional charter and cargo carrier.  After present management acquired control in 1986, Alpine Aviation began to focus less on the charter or passenger services and more on the cargo aspects of the airline industry.  Since the 1990's, Alpine Aviation has focused on hauling mail for the United States Postal Service (USPS) and carrying packages for a large nationwide carrier because of their favorable contracts, routes and payment practices.  As a result of this focus, approximately 87% of Alpine Aviation's revenues now come directly from these two customers.

     Alpine Air Express was formed in April, 1994, under the name "Riverside Ventures, Inc."  Prior to its acquisition of Alpine Aviation in June, 2000, Alpine Air Express had no business operations and was actively looking for a business with which to merge or acquire in an effort to create an operation that would provide value to our shareholders.

     On June 12, 2000, Alpine Air Express, under its former name, entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with Alpine Aviation, pursuant to which Alpine Air acquired all of the outstanding shares of Alpine Aviation. Pursuant to the terms of the reorganization, Alpine Air Express issued 9,895,000 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Alpine Aviation in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alpine Aviation.  As a result of the reorganization, Alpine Aviation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpine Air Express.  As a further result of the reorganization, the management of Alpine Aviation assumed control over Riverside Ventures and changed the company's name from "Riverside Ventures, Inc." to the current name of "Alpine Air Express, Inc."  The reorganization has been treated as a "reverse merger," with Alpine Aviation as the surviving entity for accounting purposes and Alpine Air the surviving entity for corporate purposes. At the time of the reorganization, Alpine Air Express had 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding.  Following the reorganization, Alpine Air had 10,895,000 shares outstanding, which was composed of the 1,000,000 shares outstanding prior to the issuance of shares for Alpine Aviation and the 9,895,000 newly issued shares to the Alpine Aviation stockholders.  Alpine Air subsequently issued an additional 105,000 shares, bringing the total outstanding shares to 11,000,000 as of 2003. During 2004 and 2005 the Company issued 122,000 shares, bringing the total outstanding shares to 11,122,000 at 2005.  In 2006, we effected a 3 for 1 stock split and issued additional shares for compensation during 2006 resulting in a total of 36,271,461 outstanding shares at both October 31, 2006 and 2007. During 2009 the Company purchased 70,660 shares to hold as Treasury Stock bringing the total shares outstanding to 36,130,141.

Routes and Delivery.

     Alpine Aviation currently has 25 air cargo routes covering 19 cities in six western states in the mainland U.S. Alpine also provides contract cargo charter flights for other carriers and for the public.  Most routes are flown every day and some multiple times per day.  In fiscal 2009, Alpine Aviation transported 9,673 tons of cargo.  The largest component of Alpine Aviation's cargo mix is U.S. mail, which accounted for approximately 66% of our fiscal 2009 revenue. The USPS delivers and picks up all cargo we carry at the aircraft, unless other arrangements are called for separately by the contract.  When the USPS delivers and picks up the mail at the side of our aircraft, we are able to reduce our costs significantly.

     

     Alpine currently operates 29 aircraft on two national certificates (one is inactive).  The largest aircraft in our fleet is a Beechcraft 1900, which holds approximately 6,000 pounds of cargo.  Our other aircraft type is the Beechcraft 99, which holds approximately 3,400 pounds of cargo. The Company also owns 2 Beechcraft 1900-D aircraft (passenger configuration) and currently leases them on an annual lease basis.

Industry overview.

     The package delivery and air cargo business has evolved rapidly over the last two decades, driven by the integration of world markets, the rationalization of corporate supply chains and the implementation of enterprise 

software and internet-based information technology solutions. The ability to provide time-definite delivery options and transfer information increasingly determines success.  Customer demands for real-time information processing and worldwide distribution and logistics capabilities favor companies with integrated services. 

     Customers increasingly focus on the timing and predictability of deliveries rather than the mode of transportation. As customers re-engineer the total distribution process, which includes order processing, administration, warehousing, transportation and inventory management, they attempt to reduce the most expensive and fastest growing component, inventory carrying costs. Time-definite transportation, which is no longer limited to air express, has become a critical part of just-in-time inventory management and improving overall distribution efficiency.

     Technology advances have made it easier for companies to analyze and compare distribution options.  As a result of these changes, individual shipments are generally smaller but more frequent and a greater proportion of products are being delivered directly to end-users, particularly as e-commerce takes hold.  Customers expect high performance levels and broad product offerings as they seek to optimize supply chain solutions.

 

    There has been dramatic growth in the utilization of e-commerce by both consumers and businesses for the transfer of goods.  Consumers who use the internet for home shopping and other services shop across borders and require global delivery capabilities.

     Delivery of packages to a specific destination at a guaranteed time has been the growth engine for the package delivery industry over the past decade. The industry has become increasingly dominated by large integrated carriers such as UPS and FedEx that provide seamless services, including pick-up and delivery, shipment via air and/or road transport and customs clearance. The pace of consolidation in the package delivery industry has increased on a global scale.

     Industry participants are acquiring, merging with or forming alliances with partners that can expand global reach, breadth of services or technological capabilities in order to better enable those participants to compete in a rapidly changing global environment.  In particular, government-run post offices have made several recent alliances with and acquisitions of private-sector companies.  Post offices, which still maintain numerous advantages over private-sector companies, create significant challenges for competitors worldwide.

     With the growth in cargo and e-commerce taking a greater hold, we feel the need for companies like Alpine Air will only continue to expand.  We offer the ability to deliver mail and cargo to smaller markets without many of the associated capital costs.

Employees.

     Alpine Air has 107 employees, 56 of which are full time, including 9 in administration and 55 in flight operations, which includes 22 pilots.  No employees belong to any labor union or have employment contracts.

**ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES**

     Alpine Air is headquartered in its owned facility located in Provo, Utah.  This facility is on leased property at the Provo Municipal Airport. Our hangar consists of approximately 25,000 square feet with attached corporate offices. The hangar and offices have been valued at a cost of approximately $1,200,000. 

     The company also leases a 10,403 square foot hangar and a separate maintenance facility in Billings, Montana at the Logan International Airport and has permits to lease and use hangar and office space with the State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation.

     We carry extensive insurance coverage on all facilities as well as aircraft.  Management believes our insurance coverage is adequate to cover any damage to our facilities or aircraft and any resulting liabilities.  

**ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

There are two claims pending against the Alpine Air by the FAA from the FAA Regional Office in Renton, Washington.  One claim alleges that contract ramp personnel were allowed to load Alpine Air aircraft even though they had not completed Alpine Air’s hazardous materials training program. The FAA has proposed a civil penalty in the amount of $5,000 and Alpine Air is vigorously contesting the claim. The second FAA claim alleges violations of maintenance requirements for an airplane based in Hawaii during the period of January to February 2009. The FAA has proposed a civil penalty in the amount of $228,250 and Alpine Air is vigorously contesting the claim. The Company believes there is no good faith basis for the amount of either of the claims.

 

Alpine Air is also contesting a claim made by the State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation, Airports Division, for alleged past due landing fees for the period of April 2004 through 2009 in the amount of $331,584. The claim was not presented to Alpine Air until 2008 and the Company immediately contested the claimed amount. Alpine Air is in the process of concluding a negotiated settlement of the claim for the total sum of $90,000 and the final settlement agreement should be signed within the month. 

     Alpine Air Express has evaluated events for the period October 31, 2009 through January 29, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded there were no other events or transactions during this period that required recognition or disclosure.

**ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA**

     Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

General.

     Alpine Aviation Inc. provides air cargo transportation services in the United States in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado.  While the USPS is our primary customer, we also provide contract cargo and charter services for other package delivery and cargo carriers. In addition to air cargo transportation, the Company provides maintenance service on aircraft owned or operated by third parties, leasing of  passenger aircraft, and operates a First Officer Training Program.

     

     Revenues were $20.4 million in 2009, a 3% increase from $19.8 million in 2008.  The primary increase in revenues was the result of two main events; the award of the Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota USPS contracts at an increased rate in September 2009 coupled with the loss of the Hawaii USPS contracts and the leasing of two 1900-D passenger aircraft. 

     During the quarter ending July 31, 2009, the Company learned that the US Postal Service did not renew the contracts in place in Hawaii. These contracts expired June 6, 2009 and Alpine Air signed a two month contract to fly several routes with the company that was awarded the contract. That contract expired on August 7, 2009 and Alpine Air discontinued operations in Hawaii. The aircraft have been redeployed to the mainland and are being used as spare aircraft in our operations.  

     In September 2009 the Company was successful in its attempts to keep the Montana/South Dakota/North Dakota contract with the US Postal service. The contract began on September 5, 2009 and runs for six years through September 5, 2015. In the future, if the Company were unable to renew this contract, it would have a significant impact on earnings and revenues. However, management has had substantial success in renewing contracts with the USPS over the past 20 years.

     In 2009, the Company carried over 9,673 tons of cargo as compared to 11,162 tons in 2008. This decrease is directly attributable to the loss of the Hawaii USPS contracts in August 2009. 

     The Company continued to experience rising costs in insurance, contract labor costs and professional services fees. These costs along with the need to continue maintenance and repair of our aircraft place a strong demand on our cash resources.

     In January 2008 and again in May 2008 there were two separate incidents involving the Company’s aircraft. In both cases, the aircraft were damaged beyond repair or unrecoverable. However, both of the aircraft were fully insured and the Company has not experienced any significant effect on operations or its financial position. There were no aircraft dispositions in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

October 31, 2009 and 2008.

     The Company has a working capital position on October 31, 2009 of $669,987, as compared to working capital on October 31, 2008, of $1,839,462. The decrease in working capital has been the direct result of a $841,273 decrease in current assets coupled with an increase of $328,202 in current liabilities. The Company presently has no material off-balance sheet financing arrangements.   

     Total assets increased to $26,560,224 on October 31, 2009 from $25,413,758 on October 31, 2008. Total liabilities also increased to $12,552,207 from $11,916,143 during the same period. Our stockholders' equity has also increased a total of $510,402, from $13,497,615 to 14,008,017 for October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2009, respectively.

     For the year ended October 31, 2009 there was a net profit from operations before income taxes and preferred stock dividends of $1,629,011. This is a decrease from the previous year’s net income of $1,811,113. Depreciation for the year ending October 31, 2009 was $3,163,137 for an increase of $944,427 over last year. This increase is mostly due to the acquisition of aircraft to the fleet at the end of 2008 and additional ground equipment purchases.

    During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company increased the tax NOL carryforward. There was a change in the deferred tax accounts of $509,000.  

     Investing activities for the year ended October 31, 2009, consisted mainly of the purchases of property and equipment of $3,789,826. 

     For the year ended October 31, 2009, net cash used in financing activities was $1,780,307, which includes new funds made available from notes payable of $3,654,048 and proceeds from a lending institution line of credit of $748,875. The subsequent use of these funds were primarily towards notes payable of $5,716,041, the payment of preferred stock dividends of $270,977 and the redemption of $182,080 of Preferred Stock in the Company. All Alpine Air aircraft are currently pledged as collateral on the line of credit, notes payable and preferred stock of the Company.

For the year ended October 31, 2008, net cash received from financing activities was $445,448, which includes new funds made available of $4,000,000 and subsequent use primarily from payments of $1,459,580 towards notes payable and the redemption of $1,456,640 of Preferred Stock in the Company. 

     For the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, net increases (uses) in cash and cash equivalents were $297,142 and $(468,035), and ending cash and cash equivalents were $1,192,936 and $895,794, respectively. 

Results of Operation.

     During the year ended October 31, 2009 total operating revenues were $20,464,409, representing a 3% increase from the 2008 revenues of $19,840,376.  This increase is attributable to the leasing of two Beechcraft 1900-D passenger aircraft. Total direct costs decreased to $15,733,309 from $16,378,631 for the years 2009 and 2008, respectively. This 4% decrease in total direct costs was driven by management’s efforts to reduce costs and operate more efficiently.

     Alpine's revenue from Public Services which include its First Officer Training Program and aircraft maintenance provided to outside entities decreased in 2009 to $142,243 from $204,494 in 2008, while expenses for public services slightly decreased to $215,412 from $216,254 in 2008.

     Operating expenses increased to $2,180,645 from $1,525,241 for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  This increase was due mainly a large increase in bad debt expense of $312,359 and increases in professional accounting, consulting, and legal expenses of $120,781. The increase in bad debt expense was due mainly to a large one-time write off of claims with the US Postal Service. During the year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, gain on disposal of assets was $907 and $499,623, respectively. 

     During the year ended October 31, 2009, other expense was $922,351 compared to the previous year total of $625,014. The increase was the direct result of additional interest paid by the Company due to additional financing, a loss on heating oil investments, and a decrease in interest income. 

     Total income tax expense for the year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 was $509,000 and $434,812, respectively.   

     For the year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, income before preferred dividends was $1,120,011 and $1,376,301, or $0.03 per share and $0.04 per share, respectively. For the same periods net income available to shareholders was $544,599 and $120,193, or $0.02 per share and $0.00 per share, respectively. The difference for both years presented is approximately $575,412 and $1,256,108, respectively ($0.01 and $0.02 per share, respectively), which is related to dividends declared on preferred stock and the amortization of a preferred stock discount analogous to a preferred stock dividend. The amortization portion of the preferred stock discount ended in December 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

     The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The Company's estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from estimates. The most significant estimates made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, deferred tax asset valuation,  and valuation of long-lived assets. 

     Following is a discussion of critical accounting policies and related management estimates and assumptions. 

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts receivable in the amount of $66,530 and $22,540, respectively, as of October 31, 2009 and 2008, and was established based on management's estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. The required allowance is determined using information such as customer credit history, industry information, credit reports, customer financial condition and the collectability of outstanding accounts receivables associated with a discontinued business segment. The estimates can be affected by changes in the financial strength of the aviation industry, customer credit issues or general economic conditions. 

     Inventories. The Company's parts inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories in the amount of $52,523 and $52,525, respectively, as of October 31, 2009 and 2008, are based on assessment of the marketability of slow-moving and obsolete inventories. Estimates are subject to volatility and can be affected by reduced equipment utilization, existing supplies of used inventory available for sale, the retirement of aircraft or ground equipment and changes in the financial strength of the aviation industry. 

     Deferred Taxes. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered based primarily on estimates of current and expected future earnings. Net deferred tax liability of $349,000 existed as of October 31, 2009 and net deferred tax assets of $160,000 existed as of October 31, 2008.  

     Revenue Recognition. Cargo revenue is recognized upon completion of contract terms and maintenance revenue is recognized when the service has been performed.  

     Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amount. In the event it is determined that the carrying values of long-lived assets are in excess of the fair value of those assets, the Company then will write-down the value of the assets to fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

   None; not applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors andStockholders of Alpine Air Express, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Alpine Air Express, Inc. as of October 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2009. Alpine Air Express, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alpine Air Express, Inc. as of October 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

At the time of the transaction, Riverside Ventures, Inc. was inactive. All of the outstanding common stock of Alpine was exchanged for 29,685,000 shares of common stock of Riverside Ventures, Inc.  The transaction, accounted for as a reverse acquisition, resulted in a recapitalization of Alpine, inasmuch as it was deemed to be the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Riverside Ventures, Inc. changed its name to Alpine Air Express, Inc.  The Company is an air cargo operator, transporting mail, packages and other time-sensitive cargo between cities in the western portion of the United States. 

**Principles of consolidation** – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Alpine Air Express, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Alpine Aviation, Inc. as of October 31, 2009 and 2008 (together referred to as the Company). All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

**Cash and cash equivalents** - The Company considers demand deposits at banks and money market funds at other financial institutions with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  

**Restricted cash -**At October 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had two restricted cash time deposits totaling $200,695 and $175,000, respectively, held as collateral for debt of a third party.

**Concentration of credit risk –**The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

**Trade accounts receivable** – Accounts receivable are amounts due for services performed and are unsecured. Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus accounts receivable do not bear interest although a finance charge may be applied to such receivables that are past the due date. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, know and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. 

**Inventories** - Inventories consist of aircraft parts and fuel stated at the lower of cost or market, determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO).

  

**Property and equipment** - Provision for depreciation for financial reporting purposes of property and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to forty years. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals, which neither materially add to the value of the property and equipment nor appreciably prolong the useful lives are charged to expense as incurred.  Gains and losses on dispositions are included in operations.

**Engine overhauls** - The Company uses the deferral method of accounting for our major engine and airframe component overhauls and provides for major engine and airframe component overhaul costs to be capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the engine and airframe components. 

**Impairment of long-term assets** - The Company reviews all long-term assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows. If an impairment loss has occurred, such loss is recognized in the determination of net income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2009 and 2008

**NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [*CONTINUED*]**

**Income taxes** - The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the liability 

method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect during the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded in whole or in part when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties as an other expense.

**Use of estimates** - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Fair value of financial instruments** - Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  

**Income per common share** - The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 260 "Earnings Per Share".  ASC Topic 260 requires the presentation of basic and diluted earning per share.  Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding includes common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential.  Potential common shares having an anti-dilutive effect on periods presented are not included in the computation of dilutive earning per share. 

**Revenue and cost recognition** - The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized when earned. Air freight revenue is recognized upon delivery of cargo to its destination.  Public services revenue consists of charter income, pilot training fees, and customer maintenance services.  Charter income and customer maintenance services income is recognized when the service is performed.  Pilot training revenue is recognized over the course of the program, based on the pro rata share of the course completed to date.  Tuition revenue received, but not yet earned, is deferred.

  

**Recently Enacted Accounting Standards –**ASC Topic 820,**** “Fair Value Measurements”, ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, ASC Topic 810,  “Consolidation”, ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, and ASC Topic 944, “Financial Services”, were recently issued.  These topics have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

The Company adopted new income tax guidance pertaining to uncertain tax positions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This new guidance was issued to clarify what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. The provisions of this guidance apply broadly to all tax positions taken by a company, including decisions to not report income in a tax return or to classify a transaction as tax exempt. The prescribed approach is determined through a two-step benefit recognition model. The amount of benefit to recognize is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position must be derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. At October 31, 2009, the Company did not recognize any amounts related to this new standard.

**Stock Based Compensation** - The Company currently accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This topic establishes an accounting method based on the fair value of equity instruments awarded to employees as compensation.

**Reclassification –**The financial statements for periods prior to October 31, 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the October 31, 2009 financial statements.

**NOTE 15 – CONCENTRATIONS**

**U.S. Postal Service Contracts**- The Company receives the majority of its revenues from contracts with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).  For the year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, the revenues from contracts with the USPS represented 65% and 71% of total revenues, respectively.  At October 31, 2009 and 2008, accounts receivable from the USPS totaled $759,109 and $1,236,412 or 49% and 55%, respectively. The contracts currently in effect for USPS routes will expire in September 2015 for mainland US operations. The loss of this customer would have a material negative effect on the operations of the Company.  

**NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Company operates its aircraft under a certificate which allows it to accumulate time between overhauls (TBO) in excess of manufacturer's recommendations.  The Company regularly inspects its engines.  A majority of the engines used by the Company have accumulated TBO in excess of manufacturer's recommendations.

There are two claims pending against the Alpine Air by the FAA from the FAA Regional Office in Renton, Washington.  One claim alleges that contract ramp personnel were allowed to load Alpine Air aircraft even though they had not completed Alpine Air’s hazardous materials training program. The FAA has proposed a civil penalty in the amount of $5,000 and Alpine Air is vigorously contesting the claim. The second FAA claim alleges violations of maintenance requirements for an airplane based in Hawaii during the period of January to February 2009. The FAA has proposed a civil penalty in the amount of $228,250 and Alpine Air is vigorously contesting the claim. The Company believes there is no good faith basis for the amount of either of the claims.

Alpine Air is also contesting a claim made by the State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation, Airports Division, for alleged past due landing fees for the period of April 2004 through 2009 in the amount of $331,584. The claim was not presented to Alpine Air until 2008 and the Company immediately contested the claimed amount. Alpine Air is in the process of concluding a negotiated settlement of the claim for the total sum of $90,000 and the final settlement agreement should be signed within the month.

**NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

In December 2009, the Company signed a note payable with a lending institution for $403,324. The note matures on March 4, 2010 at which time the note must be paid in full. One aircraft Reg # N216CS was used as collateral on the note. This is an interest only loan with a stated interest rate of 5.5%. The proceeds of this loan were used to purchase the aircraft listed below.

In December 2009, the Company finalized the purchase of a Beechcraft 1900-D with a passenger configuration for $1,375,000. A lease agreement was also entered into in December 2009 with a third party in which the third party will lease this aircraft from the Company for a 13 month term beginning December 1, 2009 and ending January 11, 2011. 

In January 2010, the Company signed a note payable with a lending institution for $2,700,000. The note matures on January 7, 2016. It is secured by four aircraft Reg #N172GA, N125BA, N219VP, and N198GA. The stated interest rate is 7.147% and the proceeds of this loan were used to pay off the balance of two other notes payable and reduce the balance owed on a line of credit.

Alpine Air Express has evaluated subsequent events for the period October 31, 2009 through January 29, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded there were no other events or transactions during this period that required recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

**ITEM 9:  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE**

Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C., audited the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. Effective as of February 23, 2009, Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C., resigned as the independent accountant of Alpine Air Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). This resignation was due solely to the PCAOB's requirement of five-year rotations for audit partners on public company audits. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and since then, there have been no disagreements with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its report. The reports of Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. on the Company's financial statements for the past two years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. 

On February 26, 2009, the Company's audit committee and Board of Directors voted to approve the engagement of Jones Simkins, P.C. of Logan, Utah as principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and since then, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Jones Simkins P.C. regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event. 

During our most recent fiscal year, we have not consulted Jones Simkins, P.C. regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements or any other financial presentation whatsoever. 

**ITEM 9A(T):  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Security and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report.

     Stock Option Plan.

     In August 2001, Alpine Air adopted an equity incentive plan.  The plan allows Alpine to issue incentive stock options ("ISOs") within the meaning of section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), non- statutory stock options and restricted shares to employees, directors and consultants of Alpine Air.  A total of 770,000 shares of Alpine Air's common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan.  As of January of each year commencing in the year 2002, the aggregate number of shares of Alpine Air's common stock that may be awarded under the plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) 7% of the total number of shares of Alpine's common stock outstanding, minus the number of shares of stock previously authorized for award under the plan at the close of the preceding calendar year or (ii) 250,000 shares of common stock.

     The exercise price of options granted under the terms of the plan must not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of grant, or 110% of the fair market value for ISOs granted to optionees possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Alpine Air for ISOs and 85% of the fair market value of the stock for nonqualified options.  In addition, the aggregate fair market value (as determined on the date of each option grant) of shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.  Additionally, no individual may be granted more than 100,000 options in any given year.

     Alpine Air has not received and does not intend to request a determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the ISOs issued under the plan will qualify under the Code for treatment as ISOs.

     The plan provides that an option may be exercised by payment in cash or, with the consent of the board of directors, by delivery of common stock of Alpine Air valued at its fair market value on the date of payment.  An option holder shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the option until the shares have been fully paid and issued.

     The board of directors or a committee of the directors will initially administer the plan, prescribe the form and content of options to be granted, receive elections for the exercise of stock conversion rights, determine the terms and restrictions on all restricted stock awards granted under the plan, and other items.  No stock option can be granted for a period longer than ten years or for a period longer than five years for ISOs granted to optionees possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Alpine Air.  The right to exercise an option terminates three months after the termination of an employee’s employment, unless the employee dies or is disabled, in which event the option will remain exercisable for a period of one year after the termination of employment.  The plan terminates, and no further options may be granted after August 18, 2011.

     In August 2001, Alpine Air issued options to acquire 547,185 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and an option to purchase 79,998 shares at an exercise price of $2.75 per share.  In 2002, Alpine Air issued options to acquire 2,562 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.  All options were issued under the plan.  In addition, a total of 82,251 options have been forfeited through October 31, 2005.

     During 2006, the Company issued options to acquire 325,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, to employees and directors of the company. To date 110,000 of the 2006 options have been forfeited. During 2007, the Company issued options to acquire 425,278 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, to employees and directors of the company. To date 124,489 of the 2007 options have been 

forfeited. During 2008, the Company issued options to acquire 575,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. To date, 210,000 of those options have been forfeited. During 2009, no options were issued.

     Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.

     There are no interlocking relationships between any member of the Company’s Compensation Committee and any member of the compensation committee of any other company, nor has any such interlocking relationship existed in the past. Two members of the Compensation Committee, Eugene R. Mallette, CEO, and Rick C. Wood, Principal Financial Officer, are officers and employees of the Company.

**ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE**

     Aircraft Purchase - In December 2003, the Company acquired 16 aircraft from an entity related to an officer and majority shareholder of the Company for $9,900,000.  The consideration paid included $9,104,000 in preferred stock of the Company's subsidiary Alpine Aviation, Inc. and the assumption of the underlying debt on the aircraft totaling $709,981.  The remaining $86,019 is recorded as a payable to the entity related to an officer and majority shareholder of the Company.  As the aircraft were purchased from a related party they have been recorded at their carryover basis of $4,111,485.  A discount on preferred stock in the amount of $3,591,195, net of tax effect of $2,197,320, has been recorded and is being amortized as dividends over a five year period.  The preferred stock provides for monthly dividends at an annual rate of 6.5%, and is not convertible. However, in April 2007 the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in the Parent Company, Alpine Air Express, with a stated value of $9.104, which were exchanged with the holder for the outstanding preferred stock in the subsidiary. As of October 31, 2009 820,000 shares are still outstanding. The newly issued preferred stock in the Parent Company provides for monthly dividends at an annual rate of 6.5%, and is convertible at any time by the holder based on the current market price of the Company’s stock. The Company can redeem the preferred stock any time and the Holder can call for redemption of the preferred stock any time after December 31, 2011.

     Notes Payable - Related Party - In connection with the purchase of the aircraft the Company issued a note to an entity related to an officer and majority shareholder of the Company in the amount of $1,476,381.  The note payable dated July 31, 2003, bears an interest rate of 6.5% and called for payments of $33,624 due for 14 monthly installments with the balance due November 1, 2004. The entity related to an officer and majority shareholder of the Company previously agreed to forestay future payment until required by the note's balloon payment which was due November 1, 2004 but later agreed to defer all payments of principal, interest and balloon payments until November 1, 2006. Subsequently, all unpaid and accrued interest and the remaining principal balance was rolled into a new note at 6.5% interest and a 5-year term. On October 31, 2009 the balance of this note was $0.  In connection with the purchase of aircraft during 2004 from an entity related to an officer and majority shareholder of the Company, the Company has entered into a Note Payable in the amount of $86,019.  This note bears interest at 6.5%.  The note holder had agreed to defer all payments of principal and interest until November 1, 2006. Subsequently, all unpaid and accrued interest and the remaining principal balance was rolled into a new note at 6.5% interest and a 5-year term. On October 31, 2009 the balance of this note was $0. During May 2004, lease payments due to an entity related to an officer and majority shareholder of the Company in the amount of $667,115 were converted into a demand note payable with interest to accrue at six and one- half (6.50%) percent on the principal balance. No principal or interest payments were required to be paid until November 1, 2006. Subsequently, all unpaid and accrued interest and the remaining principal balance was rolled into a new note at 6.5% interest and a 5-year term. On October 31, 2009 the balance of this note was $0.
