INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT INVESTORS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to
the current period presentation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the results of its operations for
the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and its
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Operating
results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1998.
2. ACCOUNTING CHANGE
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income recognition of ancillary payments under lease agreements to a full
accrual method from recognition upon lease termination. This new method, which
was accounted for as a change in accounting method, was made to better reflect
the earnings process under lease agreements. The effect of this change on net
earnings and earnings per share, before cumulative effect of accounting change,
for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998,
respectively were increases of $164,000 ($.04 per basic and diluted share) and
$478,000 ($.11 per basic and $.10 per diluted share). The cumulative effect on
retained earnings at January 1, 1998 of the accounting change was an increase of
approximately $209,000 ($.05 per basic and diluted share), net of related income
taxes of $139,000. The pro forma amounts shown on the condensed consolidated
statements of income have been adjusted for the effect of retroactive
application.
3. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and the amount of any contingent assets or
liabilities disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual
results could differ from estimates made.
The Company leases flight equipment to various commercial airline fleets on
short-term to medium-term operating leases, generally three to five years. The
related flight equipment is generally financed by borrowings that become due at
or near the end of the lease term through balloon payments. As a result, the
Company's operating results depend on management's ability to roll over debt
facilities, renegotiate favorable leases and realize estimated residual values.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128) "Earnings per
Share." SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and diluted earnings
per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per
share, basic earnings
-7-
<PAGE> 8
INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT INVESTORS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to
SFAS No. 128 requirements.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

The Company issued its underwriters warrants to purchase 260,000 shares of
its common stock at $12 per share in connection with its initial public
offering. These warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net
income per common share because they were anti-dilutive. The warrants are
exercisable through November 5, 2000.

INTERNATIONAL AIRCRAFT INVESTORS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Options issued under the Eligible Directors Option Plan are excluded from
the computation of diluted net income per common share because they were
anti-dilutive.
5. FLIGHT EQUIPMENT
During 1998, the Company purchased from ILFC a 1990 Boeing Model MD-83 on lease
to March 2002 and a 1989 Boeing Model 737-400 on lease to January 2000 with an
aggregate purchase price of $45,100,000. The Company financed these acquisitions
through bridge loans and loans provided by ILFC. During the third quarter of
1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a 1993 Airbus Model
A320-200 on lease to October 2000. The completion of the purchase is dependant
on the timing of certain bank financing.
6. NOTES PAYABLE
The Company refinanced notes payable for $3,755,900 and $4,080,443 with banks to
May 2003 and June 1999, respectively. The Company is in the process of
negotiating with banks long-term financing to take out bridge loans currently
with ILFC with an aggregate balance of $32,633,632 The Company's composite
interest rate was 7.2% and 7.3% at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During 1998, the Company granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $10.25 under the 1997 Eligible Director Stock
Option Plan. In September 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 449,758 shares of the Company's common stock of which 265,800 have been
repurchased as of October 30, 1998.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The FASB has issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No.
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS
No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components. SFAS No. 131 supersedes previous reporting requirements for
reporting on segments of a business enterprise. SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131
are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 is the
same as income as reported on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements. The Company plans to implement SAFS No. 131 in connection with its
1998 reporting on Form 10-K. As SFAS No. 131 only requires additional
disclosures, the Company expects there will be no material impact on its
financial condition or results of operations from its implementation.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 1998, the Company re-leased its 1989 Boeing Model MD-82 aircraft
until Trans World Airlines to October 2004.
In October 1998, the Company extended a bridge loan of $14,500,000 to November
1998.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
OVERVIEW
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition of used, single-aisle jet
aircraft for lease and sale to domestic and foreign airlines and other
customers. The Company leases aircraft under short-term to medium-term operating
leases where the lessee is responsible for all operating costs, including major
overhauls and the Company retains the potential benefit or risk of the residual
value of the aircraft, as distinct from finance leases where the full cost of
the aircraft is generally recovered over the term of the lease.
Rental amounts are accrued evenly over the lease term and are recognized as
revenue from the rental of flight equipment. The Company's flight equipment is
recorded on the balance sheet at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life to the Company's estimated salvage value.
Revenue, depreciation expense and resultant profit for operating leases are
recorded evenly over the life of the lease. Initial direct costs related to the
origination of leases are capitalized and amortized over the lease terms.
This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by
the safe harbors created thereby. Reference is made to the cautionary statements
made in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997
("Form 10-K") which should be read as being applicable to all related
forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Report on Form 10-Q. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those
discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in the Form 10-K.
ACCOUNTING CHANGE
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income recognition of ancillary payments under lease agreements to a full
accrual method from recognition upon lease termination. This new method, which
was accounted for as a change in accounting method, was made to better reflect
the earnings process under lease agreements. The effect of this change on net
earnings, before cumulative effect of accounting change, for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively were an increase of $164
and $478. The cumulative effect on retained earnings at January 1, 1998 of the
accounting change was an increase of approximately $209, net of related income
taxes of $139.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
Revenues from rental of flight equipment increased by 69%, or $2,809, to $6,858
in the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997
as a result of the acquisition of three aircraft on lease, as well as the impact
of the change in accounting method discussed above. The Company's lease
portfolio consisted of twelve aircraft on lease with a book value of $209,974 at
September 30, 1998 and nine aircraft on lease with a book value of $138,330 at
September 30, 1997. During the three months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company purchased a 1990 Boeing Model MD-83 on lease until March 2002, a Boeing
Model 737-400 on lease to January 2000 and extended the lease of a hushkitted
1980 Boeing Model 737-200ADV aircraft to March 2001.
Interest income increased to $449 for the three months ended September 30, 1998
from $102 for the same period in 1997 principally as a result of interest on
increased cash balances, primarily from the Company's initial public offering in
November 1997 and restricted cash balances.
Expenses as a percent of total revenues were 85% and 96% during the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This decrease in the percentage
is due to the effect of a 76% increase in total revenue while
-10-
<PAGE> 11
expenses increased 56%. Interest expense increased to $3,079 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 from $2,034 for the same period in 1997
principally as a result of interest on financing related to the acquisition of
three additional aircraft, offset by the effect of loan paydowns. The Company's
composite interest rate was 7.2% and 7.3% at September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Depreciation expense increased to $2,724 in the third quarter of
1998 from $1,701 in the third quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of the
acquisition of three additional aircraft. General and administrative expenses
increased to $357 in the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $174 in the
same period of 1997. The increase in general and administrative expense was
primarily the result of additional compensation resulting from the addition of
an employee and new employment agreements with the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and President, as well as the additional costs incurred due to
maintaining the Company's status as a public company. During the three months
ended September 30, 1998, the Company incurred $63 of non-cash stock
compensation expense compared to $75 of non-cash stock compensation expense in
the same period of 1997 related to the vesting of options granted to executive
officers.
Income before income taxes increased to $1,085 from $167 as a result of the
increase in total revenues and reduction in total expenses as a percent of total
revenues. The $367 increase in income tax expense primarily represents a
provision for income taxes at an effective rate of 40%. The Company continues to
generate substantial federal net operating loss carryforwards resulting
primarily from accelerated depreciation.
Net income increased to $651 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
$100 for the same period in 1997 due to the factors described above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
Revenues from rental of flight equipment increased by 82%, or $8,591, to $19,119
in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997
as a result of the acquisition of three aircraft on lease, as well as the impact
of the change in accounting method discussed above. The Company's lease
portfolio consisted of twelve aircraft on lease with a book value of $209,974 at
September 30, 1998 and nine aircraft on lease with a book value of $138,330 at
September 30, 1997. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company
purchased a 1990 Boeing Model MD-83 on lease until March 2002 and a Boeing Model
737-400 on lease to January 2000. In addition, the Company extended the lease of
a 1979 Boeing Model 727-200 to April 2003 and a hushkitted 1980 Boeing Model
737- 200ADV aircraft to March 2001.
The decrease in consulting fees of $12 is primarily the result of the
termination in January 1997 of an arrangement with Great Lakes Holdings ("Great
Lakes"), a company owned 100% by the Chief Executive Officer and the President
of the Company. No further consulting fees are expected to be received from
Great Lakes.
Interest income increased to $1,371 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from $201 for the same period in 1997 principally as a result of interest on
increased cash balances, primarily from the Company's initial public offering in
November 1997 and restricted cash balances.
Expenses as a percent of total revenues were 85% and 95% during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This decrease in the percentage
is due to the effect of the 91% increase in total revenue while expenses
increased 72%. Interest expense increased to $8,599 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $5,055 for the same period in 1997 principally as a
result of interest on financing related to the acquisition of three additional
aircraft, offset by the effect of loan paydowns. Depreciation expense increased
to $7,632 in 1998 from $4,461 in 1997 primarily as a result of the acquisition
of three additional aircraft. General and administrative expenses increased to
$1,067 in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $464 in the same period
of 1997. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily the
result of additional compensation resulting from the addition of two employees
and new employment agreements with the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
President, as well as the additional costs incurred due to maintaining the
Company's status as a public company. During the nine months ended September 30,
1998, the Company incurred $188 of non-cash stock compensation expense compared
to $175 of non-cash stock compensation expense in the same period of 1997
related to the vesting of options granted to executives officers.

Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change increased
to $3,005 from $586 as a result of the increase in total revenues and reduction
in total expenses as a percent of total revenues. The $978 increase in income
tax expense primarily represents a provision for income taxes at an effective
rate of 40%. The Company continues to generate substantial federal net operating
loss carryforwards resulting primarily from accelerated depreciation.
Net income increased to $2,010 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from
$359 for the same period in 1997 due to the factors described above, as well as
a $209 cumulative effect of accounting change.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal external sources of funds have been term loans from
banks and seller financing secured by flight equipment and the net proceeds from
the Company's initial public offering. A substantial amount of the Company's
cash flows from rental of flight equipment is applied to principal and interest
payments on secured debt. The terms of the Company's loans generally require a
substantial balloon payment at the end of the noncancellable portion of the
lease of the related flight equipment, at which time the Company will be
required to re-lease the flight equipment and renegotiate the balloon amount of
the loan or obtain other financing. Refinancing of the balloon amount is
dependent upon the Company re-leasing the related flight equipment. Accordingly,
the Company begins lease remarketing efforts well in advance of the lease
termination. The principal use of cash is for financing the acquisition of the
Company's flight equipment portfolio, which is financed by loans secured by the
applicable flight equipment. As a result, the Company does not currently
maintain a line of credit.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, net cash provided from operating
activities increased by $5,051 principally as a result of an increase of $1,650
in net income, increases in non-cash charges for depreciation and deferred taxes
of $3,171 and 1,097, respectively, and a $1,001 decrease in restricted cash,
partially offset by decreases in accrued interest and other liabilities, as well
as lease and other deposits on flight equipment of $598 and $461, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $45,100 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from $52,906 in the same period of 1997. The Company
acquired two aircraft on lease in both periods.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, net cash provided by financing
activities was $27,755, including the proceeds from borrowings of $36,284 to
finance the acquisition of aircraft on lease, offset by repayments of $7,885 on
notes payable and $644 of common stock repurchases. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, net cash provided by financing activities was $44,073,
including borrowings of $48,133 to finance the acquisition of aircraft under
lease, offset by repayments of $4,110 on notes payable and $50 received from the
exercise of management stock options. In September 1998, the Board of Directors
of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 10%, or 449,758 shares, of the
Company's outstanding common stock. As of October 30, 1998, the Company had
repurchased 265,800 shares of common stock.
Cash and cash equivalents vary from period to period principally as a result of
the timing of the purchase and sale of aircraft, as well as internally generated
cash.
The Company uses interest swap arrangements to reduce the potential impact of
increases in interest rates on floating rate long-term debt and does not use
them for trading purposes. Premiums paid for purchased interest rate swap
agreements are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the swap
agreements.
The Company's ability to successfully execute its business strategy and to
sustain its operations is dependent, in part, on its ability to obtain financing
and to raise equity capital. There can be no assurance that the necessary amount
of such capital will continue to be available to the Company on favorable terms
or at all. If the Company were unable to continue to obtain any portion of
required financing on favorable terms, the Company's ability to add new aircraft
to its lease portfolio, extend leases, re-lease an aircraft, repair or
recondition an aircraft if required, or retain ownership of an aircraft on which
financing has expired would be impaired, which would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company's financing

arrangements to date have been dependent in part upon International Lease
Finance Corporation.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue results from computer programs written using two digits to
identify the year in the date field. These computer programs were designed and
developed without consideration of the impact of the upcoming change in the
century. If not corrected, these programs could create erroneous information by
or at the year 2000.
The Company has performed a review and assessment of its internal computer
systems to determine the effect of the Year 2000 issue. Based on the results of
this review, the Company believes that the internal effects of the Year 2000
issue will not materially affect future financial results or financial condition
of the Company and the related cost for compliance will be insignificant.
The Company has also initiated formal communications with lessees, manufacturers
of its aircraft and business partners to determine the extent to which the
Company and its aircraft are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to
address their own Year 2000 issues. The Company expects to have its review of
third party issues complete by December 31, 1998. Based on the responses from
third parties received, the Company does not expect an material affect on the
company's financial results or financial position. As such, no contingency plan
has been developed. If the remaining responses indicate a material exposure as a
result of third parties, the Company will develop a contingency plan.
The Company will continue assessing its internal and external risk as the
Company acquires additional information systems and enters into business
relationships with additional lessees, manufacturers of aircraft and other
business partners.
