NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 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
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the results of its operations for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flows for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Operating results for the three
month period ended March 31, 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 period ended March 31, 1998 was an increase of $157,000
($.03 per basic and 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 a balloon payment. 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 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.

5. NOTES PAYABLE
The Company extended the maturity of a note payable with a bank with a balloon
payment of $3,680,125 to May 27, 1998. The Company intends to refinance the loan
with a bank related to the re-lease of an aircraft.
6. 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 had no
impact 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.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to re-lease its Boeing
Model 727-200adv. The noncancellable lease term runs through April 2003. As a
result of the lease, the aircraft will be modified with a Stage III noise
compliance Hushkit.
During April 1998, the Company repaid a note due August 1998 with a balance of
$824,781.

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 month
period ended March 31, 1998 was an increase of $157. 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 March 31, 1998 and 1997
Revenues from rental of flight equipment increased by 94%, or $2,979, to $6,140
in the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 as
a result of the Company having ten aircraft under lease in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to seven aircraft under lease in the same period
of 1997, as well as the impact of the change in accounting method discussed
above. The Company extended the lease of its Boeing Model 737-200adv through
March 1999.
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 $432 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$43 for the same period in 1997 principally as a result of interest on increased
cash, primarily from the Company's initial public offering in November 1997 and
restricted cash balances.
Expenses as a percent of total revenues were 86% and 94% during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This decrease in percentage is due
to the effect of the 104% increase in total revenue while expenses
-9-
<PAGE> 10
increased 87%. Interest expense increased to $2,788 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $1,483 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 $2,454 in the first quarter of 1998 from $1,380 in the first quarter of 1997
primarily as a result of the acquisition of three additional aircraft. General
and administrative expenses increased to $337 in the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $130 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 three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company incurred $63 of
non-cash stock compensation expense compared to $25 of non-cash stock
compensation expense in the same period of 1997 related to the vesting of
options granted to executives officers. The increase stock compensation expense
resulted from three months of non-cash expense in the first quarter of 1998
compared to one month of non-cash expense in the first quarter of 1997.
The $301 increase in income tax expense represents a non-cash provision for
deferred income taxes at an effective rate of 40%. The Company paid no federal
income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 1998 due to substantial net
operating loss carryforwards (NOL) resulting from accelerated tax depreciation.
At December 31, 1997, the Company had $23,577 of federal NOLs.
Net income increased to $766 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $126
for the same period in 1997 due to the factors described above.
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.
At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $23,963 and $23,838, respectively. The Company plans to use cash
and cash equivalents, together with debt financing, to acquire addition aircraft
for lease.
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, net cash provided from operating
activities increased by $1,220 principally as a result of profits of $640 and
increases in noncash charges for depreciation and deferred taxes of $1,074 and
$438, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in deferred rent of $1,018.
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, net cash used in financing activities
was $2,241 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1,497 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997. In both periods net cash used was
principally due to loan paydowns.
Cash and cash equivalents vary from period to period principally as a result of
the timing of the purchase and sale of aircraft.
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 execute successfully 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
-10-
<PAGE> 11
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, renew 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
No change has occurred in the Company's Year 2000 status as previously disclosed
in its December 31, 1997 report on Form 10-K.

International Aircraft Investors
Torrance, CA
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have been furnished with a copy of Form 10-Q of International Aircraft
Investors for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and have read the Company's
statements contained in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements included therein. As stated in Note 2, the Company changed its method
of accounting for income recognition of ancillary payments under lease
agreements to the full accrual method from recognition upon lease termination.
The change is being made due to the increase in frequency of leases with
ancillary payment provisions. Note 2 states that the newly adopted accounting
principle is preferable in the circumstances because it better reflects the
earning process. In accordance with your request, we have reviewed and discussed
with Company officials the circumstances and business judgment and planning upon
which the decision to make this change in the method of accounting was based.
We have not audited any financial statements of International Aircraft Investors
as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 1997, nor have we
audited the information set forth in the aforementioned Note 2 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements; accordingly, we do not express an opinion
concerning the factual information contained therein.
With regard to the aforementioned accounting change, authoritative criteria have
not been established for evaluating the preferability of one acceptable method
of accounting over another acceptable method. However, for purposes of
International Aircraft Investors' compliance with the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, we are furnishing this letter.
Based on our review and discussion, with reliance on management's business
judgment and planning, we concur that the newly adopted method of accounting is
preferable in the Company's circumstances.
