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 II'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
payments made on behalf of the Partnership:
Payments for
Three Months Ended Payable at
March 31, 2000 March 31, 2000
-------------- --------------
Aircraft Management Fees $105,000 $225,883
Out-of-Pocket Administrative Expense
Reimbursement 100,310 14,573
-------- --------
$205,310 $240,456
======== ========
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.
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
7
<PAGE>
distribution of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
At March 31, 2000, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund II (the Partnership) owned a
portfolio of 14 used commercial jet aircraft and spare parts inventory out of
its original portfolio of 30 aircraft. The portfolio consists of 14 McDonnell
Douglas DC-9-30 aircraft leased to Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA).
Partnership Operations
The Partnership recorded net income of $1,817,393, or $3.20 per limited
partnership unit, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to net
income of $1,649,284, or $2.75 per limited partnership unit, for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.
The increase in net income is primarily due to increased interest revenue and
decreases in depreciation, interest, operating expense, partially offset by a
decrease in the sale of aircraft inventory, as discussed below.
The increase in the deferred income balance at March 31, 2000 is attributable to
differences between the payments due and the rental income earned on the TWA
leases for the 14 aircraft currently on lease to TWA. For income recognition
purposes, the Partnership recognizes rental income over the life of the lease in
equal monthly amounts. As a result, the difference between rental income earned
and the rental payments due is recognized as deferred income. The rental
payments due from TWA during the three months ended March 31, 2000 exceeded the
rental income earned, causing an increase in the deferred income balance.
The decrease in depreciation expense is the result of several aircraft having
been fully depreciated down to their original estimated residual values during
1999 offset by additional ongoing depreciation. The residual values at lease end
on all aircraft were reviewed and adjusted downward in the fourth quarter of
1999 resulting in additional ongoing depreciation on aircraft previously fully
depreciated.
Interest expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to the same period in 1999, due to the continuing payments being made
on the TWA hushkit notes payable.
Interest income increased during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to the same period in 1999, primarily due to higher average cash
reserves and a higher rate of return on those cash reserves.
Gains on the sale of aircraft inventory decreased during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999, as a result of the sale
of aircraft inventory to Soundair, Inc. during 1999.
Liquidity and Cash Distributions
Liquidity - The Partnership received all payments due from its sole lessee, TWA,
during 2000, except for the March 2000 lease payment. On April 3, 2000, the
Partnership received its $935,000 rental payment from TWA that was due on March
27, 2000. This amount was included in rent and other receivables on the balance
sheet at March 31, 2000.
Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has determined
that the Partnership maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to ensure that
9
<PAGE>
the Partnership has available funds in the event that the aircraft presently on
lease to TWA 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 three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $1,974,893, or $3.95 per limited
partnership unit, and $2,574,860, or $5.15 per unit, respectively. The timing
and amount of future cash distributions are not yet known and will depend on the
Partnership's future cash requirements (including expenses of the Partnership)
and need to retain cash reserves as previously discussed in the Liquidity
section; and the receipt of rental payments from TWA.
