POLARIS AIRCRAFT INCOME FUND I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Principles and Policies
In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein include
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary to
summarize fairly Polaris Aircraft Income Fund I's (the Partnership's) financial
position and results of operations. The financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions of the Quarterly Report to the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 included in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report to the SEC on
Form 10-K.
2. Related Parties
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid or agreed to pay
the following amounts for the current quarter to the general partner, Polaris
Investment Management Corporation, in connection with services rendered or

Reimbursement 1,341,703 --
---------- ----------
$1,379,463 $ 479
========== ==========
3. Partners' Capital
The Partnership Agreement (the Agreement) stipulates different methods by which
revenue, income and loss from operations and gain or loss on the sale of
aircraft are to be allocated to the general partner and the limited partners.
Such allocations are made using income or loss calculated under GAAP for book
purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for tax purposes.
Cash available for distributions, including the proceeds from the sale of
aircraft, is distributed 10% to the general partner and 90% to the limited
partners.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for
distribution combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book
and tax purposes result in book basis capital accounts that may vary
significantly from tax basis capital accounts. The ultimate liquidation and
distribution of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.
4. CanAir Bankruptcy Settlement
On February 15, 2000, the Partnership received an initial settlement of $61,513
in connection with the CanAir Bankruptcy Settlement, which is comprised of
amounts received for rents, maintenance reserve obligations and accrued
interest. This settlement may prove to be the final settlement if certain
additional claims are made before the statutory period expires. A portion of the
proceeds was treated as a recovery of previously reserved rents receivable. The
allowance for credit losses of $30,365 was reversed and is included in "Lessee
Settlement" in the statement of operations.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
At June 30, 2000, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund I (the Partnership) owned three
JT8D-9A engines and certain inventoried aircraft parts, which includes one
engine, out of its original portfolio of eleven aircraft. The three JT8D-9A
engines, which are leased to Royal Aviation Inc. and Royal Cargo, Inc. (Royal
Aviation), are due to be redelivered to the Partnership in August, 2000. Upon
redelivery, the engines will be made available for sale.
Partnership Operations
The Partnership recorded net income of $82,356, or $0.48 per limited partnership
unit, for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to net income of
$92,798, or $0.54 per unit for the same period in 1999. The Partnership recorded
net income of $248,048, or $1.42 per limited partnership unit for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to net income of $396,183, or $2.32 per limited
partnership unit, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decline in
operating results was primarily the result of gains on the sale of aircraft
inventory in 1999 of $196,858 and increase in administration expenses during
2000, partially offset by a settlement in the CanAir bankruptcy proceedings in
February 2000, of which the Partnership received $61,513.
Administration expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30,
2000, as compared to the same periods in 1999, primarily due an increase in
printing and postage costs.
Liquidity and Cash Distributions
Liquidity - The Partnership receives maintenance reserve payments from Royal
Aviation that may be reimbursed to the lessee or applied against certain costs
incurred by the Partnership for maintenance work performed on the Partnership's
aircraft or engines, as specified in the leases. Maintenance reserve balances
remaining at the termination of the lease, if any, may be used by the
Partnership to offset future maintenance expenses or recognized as revenue. On
May 5, 2000, the Partnership reimbursed $1,341,703 to Polaris Investment
Management Corporation, the General Partner, for maintenance claims paid on
behalf of the Partnership related to two engines. The net maintenance reserve
balance was $548,640 as of June 30, 2000.
Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has determined
that the Partnership maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to insure that
the Partnership has available funds in the event that the engines presently on
lease to Royal Aviation require remarketing and for other contingencies,
including expenses of the Partnership. The Partnership's cash reserves will be
monitored and may be revised from time to time as further information becomes
available in the future.
Cash Distributions - Cash distributions to limited partners during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were $843,645, or $5 per limited partnership
unit and $2,488,753, or $14.75 per unit, respectively. The timing and amount of
future cash distributions to partners are not yet known and will depend upon
circumstances such as the Partnership's future cash requirements, the receipt of
rental payments from Royal Aviation, and the timing and proceeds related to the
ultimate liquidation of the Partnership's assets.
As stated above, the three engines on lease to Royal Aviation will be
redelivered in August. The Partnership will make these engines available for
sale along with the remaining inventory of spare parts such that all the assets
of the Partnership are liquidated and a final distribution made thereafter.
