A.   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 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
     include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
     management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain
     reclassifications have been made to the 1999 unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.
     Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ended December 31, 2000. These statements should be read in conjunction
     with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
     in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1999.

B.   New Accounting Pronouncements, Issued But Not Yet Effective

     ILFC has reviewed and continues to review the effect of the implementation
     of SFAS 133 - Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
     Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS 138 and related implementation
     guidance ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning
     after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for the Company). SFAS 133 requires
     that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their
     fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
     period in Current Earnings or Other Comprehensive Income, depending on
     whether or not a derivative is designated as a hedge and to the extent it
     is effective as part of a hedge transaction. As a result of the complexity
     of implementing SFAS 133 and issues related to the Company's hedging
     activities and changing hedged position, the Company has not yet determined
     the impact that adopting SFAS 133 will have on its results of operations or
     statement of financial position.

      The interest on substantially all of the public debt (exclusive of the
Commercial Paper) is fixed for the terms of the notes. The Company has committed
revolving loans and lines of credit with 53 banks aggregating $2.9 billion and
an uncommitted line of credit with one bank for $30.0 million. These revolving
loans and lines of credit principally provide for interest rates that vary
according to the pricing option in effect at the time of borrowing. Pricing
options include prime, a range from .22% over LIBOR to .32% over LIBOR based
upon utilization, or a rate determined by a competitive bid process with the
banks. The revolving loans and lines of credit are subject to




                                      -9-

facility fees of up to .08% of amounts available. Such financing is used
primarily as backup for the Company's Commercial Paper Program.
      The Company has an effective shelf registration with respect to $2.0
billion of debt securities, under which $675.0 million of notes were sold
through September 30, 2000. Additionally, a $1,075.0 million Medium-Term Note
Program has been designated under the shelf registration, under which $700.0
million of notes have been sold through September 30, 2000.
      The Company has a Euro denominated Medium-Term Note Program for $2.0
billion, under which $771.0 million in notes were sold as of September 30, 2000.
The Company has hedged the foreign currency risk of the notes through operating
lease payments or through swaps.
      The Company has an Export Credit Facility, for up to a maximum of $4.3
billion, for approximately 75 aircraft to be delivered through 2001. The Company
has the right, but is not required, to use the facility to fund 85% of each
aircraft's purchase price. This facility is guaranteed by various European
Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varies from 5.753% to 5.898% depending
on the delivery date of the aircraft. Through September 30, 2000, the Company
had borrowed $1.9 billion under this facility.
      The Company believes that the combination of internally generated funds
and debt financing currently available to the Company will allow the Company to
meet its capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

                     INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-Three months ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999.

      The 13.1% increase in revenues, from the rentals of flight equipment from
$533.2 million in 1999 to $603.1 million in 2000, is due to an increase in the
number of aircraft available for operating lease and an increase in the number
of wide bodies, for which higher lease payments are typically received. At
September 30, 2000 the Company's leased fleet consisted of 408 aircraft, 33.7%
of which were wide bodies compared to a fleet of 360 aircraft, 29.2% of which
were wide bodies, at September 30, 1999. Additionally, the quarterly average
cost of the leased fleet, which includes aircraft subject to sale-lease back
transactions from which rental income is earned, increased 14.0% from $19.3
billion in 1999 to $22.0 billion in 2000.
      In addition to its leasing operations, the Company engages in the
marketing of flight equipment at the end of, or during, the lease term, as well
as the sales of flight equipment on a principal and commission basis. Revenue
from flight equipment marketing decreased from $83.8 million in 1999 to $21.7
million in 2000 as a result of the type and the number of flight equipment
marketed in each period. Thirty-two aircraft were sold in the third quarter of
1999 compared to three aircraft in the third quarter of 2000. In addition, the
Company sold no engines in the third quarter of 1999 compared to one engine in
the third quarter of 2000.
      Interest expense increased from $177.5 million in 1999 to $206.6 million
in 2000 as a result of an increase in the average composite borrowing rate from
5.94% in 1999 to 6.36% in 2000 and an increase in debt outstanding, excluding
the effect of debt discount, from $11.8 billion in 1999 to $13.6 billion in
2000. The Company's composite borrowing rate fluctuated as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                             2000      1999    Increase
                            -----     -----     -----
<S>                         <C>       <C>       <C>
Beginning of Quarter        6.33%     5.85%     0.48%
End of Quarter              6.38%     6.03%     0.35%
Average                     6.36%     5.94%     0.42%
</TABLE>



      Depreciation of flight equipment increased from $164.0 million in 1999 to
$181.4 million in 2000 due to the increased cost of the fleet.
      Rent expense increased from $32.7 million in 1999 to $36.0 million in 2000
due to an increase in the lease rates resulting from an increase in interest
rates affecting the floating rate component of the lease rates, partially offset
by principal amortization.
      Provision for overhauls increased from $27.6 million in 1999 to $32.5
million in 2000 due to an increase in the number of aircraft and aggregate
number of hours flown, on which the Company collects overhaul reserves. A change
in the number of aircraft on which the Company collects overhaul payments may
result in a corresponding change in the aggregate number of hours flown, for
which overhaul reserves are provided.

$1,556.9 million in 1999 to $1,716.0 million in 2000, is due to an increase in
the number of aircraft available for operating lease and an increase in the
number of wide bodies, for which higher lease payments are typically received.
At September 30, 2000 the Company's leased fleet consisted of 408 aircraft,
33.7% of which were wide bodies, compared to a fleet of 360 aircraft, 29.2% of
which were wide bodies, at September 30, 1999. Additionally, the average cost of
the leased fleet, which includes aircraft subject to sale-lease back
transactions from which rental income is earned, increased 10.4% from $19.1
billion in 1999 to $21.1 billion in 2000.
      In addition to its leasing operations, the Company engages in the
marketing of flight equipment at the end of, or during, the lease term, as well
as the sales of flight equipment on a principal and commission basis. Revenue
from flight equipment marketing decreased from $111.6 million in 1999 to $43.3
million in 2000 as a result of the type and the number of the flight equipment
marketed in each period. Forty aircraft were sold in the first nine months of
1999 compared to five aircraft in the first nine months of 2000. In addition,
the Company sold 12 engines in the first nine months of 1999 compared to six
engines in the first nine months of 2000.
      Interest expense increased from $513.0 million in 1999 to $565.9 million
in 2000 as a result of an increase in the average composite borrowing rate from
6.03% in 1999 to 6.26% in 2000 and an increase in debt outstanding, excluding
the effect of debt discount, from $11.8 billion in 1999 to $13.6 billion in
2000. The Company's composite borrowing rate fluctuated as follows:

</TABLE>



      Depreciation of flight equipment increased from $477.7 million in 1999 to
$522.5 million in 2000 due to the increased cost of the fleet.
     Rent expense increased from $96.0 million in 1999 to $105.3 million in 2000
due to an increase in the lease rates resulting from an increase in interest
rates affecting the floating rate component of the lease rates, partially offset
by principal amortization.
      Provision for overhauls increased from $71.8 million in 1999 to $80.2
million in 2000 due to an increase in the number of aircraft and aggregate
number of hours flown, on which the Company collects overhaul reserves. An
increase or decrease in the number of aircraft on which the Company collects
overhaul payments may result in a corresponding change in the aggregate number
of hours flown, for which overhaul reserves are provided.

ITEM 3    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



VALUE AT RISK

      Measuring potential losses in fair values has recently become the focus of
risk management efforts by many companies. Such measurements are performed
through the application of various statistical techniques. One such technique is
Value at Risk (VaR), a summary statistical measure that uses historical interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices which estimates the
volatility and correlation of these rates and prices to calculate the maximum
loss that could occur over a defined period of time given a certain probability.
      ILFC believes that statistical models alone do not provide a reliable
method of monitoring and controlling market risk. While VaR models are
relatively sophisticated, the quantitative market risk information generated is
limited by the assumptions and parameters established in creating the related
models. Therefore, such models are tools and do not substitute for the
experience or judgement of senior management.
      ILFC is exposed to market risk and the risk of loss of fair value
resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates and exchange prices. ILFC
statistically measured the loss of fair value through the application of a VaR
model at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 2000. In this analysis the net fair
value of ILFC was determined using the financial instrument assets, which
included the tax adjusted future flight equipment lease revenue in the VaR
calculation at December 31, 1999 and the aircraft book value at the end of
maturity in the VaR calculation at September 30, 2000 and the financial
instrument liabilities, which included the future servicing of the current debt.
The estimated impact of the current derivative positions was also taken into
account.
      ILFC calculated the VaR with respect to the net fair value using the
variance-covariance (delta-normal) methodology. This calculation also used daily
historical interest rates for the two years ended December 31, 1999 and monthly
historical interest rates for the twenty years ending September 30, 2000. The
VaR model estimated the volatility of each of these interest rates and the
correlation among them. The yield curve was constructed using eleven key points
on the curve to model possible curve movements. Thus, the VaR measured the
sensitivity of the assets and liabilities to the calculated interest rate
exposures. These sensitivities were then applied to a grand covariance matrix,
which contained the historical movement of all risk factors. The results were
aggregated to provide a single amount that depicts the maximum potential loss in
fair value at a confidence level of 95 percent for a time period of one month.
As of December 31, 1999 and September 30, 2000, the VaR of ILFC with respect to
its aforementioned net fair value was $50 million and $16 million respectively.
