Item 1. Business

General

         Pegasus Aircraft Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant")
is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on
June 23, 1988. The general partners of the Partnership are Pegasus Aircraft
Management Corporation, the Managing General Partner, a California corporation
that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pegasus Capital Corporation, and Air
Transport Leasing, Inc., the Administrative General Partner, a Delaware
corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc.
(collectively, the "General Partners")

         On October 18, 1988, the Partnership commenced an offering of limited
partnership depositary units ("Units"). The $80,000,000 maximum offering size
was reached during the first quarter of 1989. The Partnership incurred
$8,441,000 of commissions and other expenses in connection with the sale of
these Units.

         Although the Partnership was organized on June 23, 1988, the
Partnership conducted no activities and recognized no revenues, profits or
losses prior to December 21, 1988 at which time the Partnership commenced
operations. During the period between December 23, 1988 and March 22, 1989, the
Partnership acquired its portfolio of used commercial aircraft, which are
principally subject to triple net operating leases with commercial air carriers.

         The Partnership is required to dissolve and distribute all of its
assets no later than December 31, 2012. The Partnership may reinvest the
proceeds of sales of aircraft occurring prior to March 22, 1997 provided that
sufficient cash is distributed to Limited Partners to pay estimated federal and
state income taxes to be incurred by Limited Partners as a result of the
aircraft sale. Thereafter, the net proceeds of any sales of aircraft will be
distributed to the partners.


Outlook for the Airline and Aircraft-Leasing Industries

         The US airline industry enjoyed an excellent year in 1995 with net
earnings estimated to top $2 billion, which will be the industry's first
profitable year since 1990 and its best earnings year ever. The airlines have
benefited from increases in traffic, the effect of cost cutting programs and
relatively stable fares. New aircraft orders caused the backlog of orders to
increase for the first time since 1990. At least for the short term, the demand
for used aircraft has increased and used aircraft prices are increasing.
Continental Airlines Inc. ("Continental") and TransWorld Airlines, Inc.
("TWA") have reported significant improvements in their financial results for
1995. US AirInc. ("US Air") also showed improved operating results, but
continues to struggle with a high cost structure and strong competition from low
fare carriers. Kiwi International Air Lines Inc. ("Kiwi") has benefited
slightly from the overall industry upturn, but continues to struggle with
capital and liquidity concerns. However, some observers are 

                                       1
<PAGE>   4
expressing caution regarding the continued growth in traffic in 1996. Aircraft
leasing continues to be a highly competitive business. The Partnership's lessees
continue to face significant competitive challenges. Air traffic has been and
continues to be correlated to overall economic activity.

Recent Partnership Developments

         Immediately below is a table which shows the December 1995 appraised
value of the Partnership's aircraft (including a spare engine) to be
approximately $38.1 million, or 53% of the portfolio's original acquisition cost
(excluding acquisition fees) adjusted for capital expenditures since
acquisition. Based on these appraised values, the Partnership's net asset value
at December 31, 1995 was equal to $9.34 per Unit. It should be noted that these
are only estimates of values at that date and not necessarily representative of
the values that will ultimately be realized when these aircraft are disposed of,
nor does this represent the values that may be realized upon the disposition of
a Unit.

Notes:   (1)  Acquisition costs do not include acquisition related fees of $2.0
              million paid to the General Partners. The amounts shown include
              additional investments in the respective aircraft which aggregate
              approximately $3.0 million.

         (2)  The December 1995 appraised values were determined by an
              independent aircraft appraisal firm. Appraised values include the
              present value of rents due under leases in place plus an estimated
              residual value for the aircraft at the end of the lease. It 
              should be noted that appraisals are only estimates of value and 
              should not be relied on as measures of realizable value.

         (3)  Lease expiration dates do not include renewal options except in
              the case of USAir.

         (4)  The number of cumulative flight cycles and cumulative flight hours
              shown are as of December 31, 1995, except for the USAir MD-81,
              which is as of February 2, 1996.

         (5)  The Boeing 747 currently complies with Stage 3 requirements if it
              is flown with certain operating restrictions.

         (6)  The remaining one-half beneficial interest is owned by Pegasus
              Aircraft Partners II, L.P., an affiliated partnership.

         (7)  The engine was not appraised. Value is based upon life remaining
              until overhaul and current market rental value and approximates
              book value. Flight hours and cycles are as of February 1996.

         (8)  In 1995 the Boeing 747-100 aircraft was returned by Continental to
              the Partnership and is currently off lease. The appraisal value
              reflected for the 747 aircraft represents its approximate current
              market value unencumbered by a lease.

         (9)  If USAir does not renew for an initial three-year renewal period,
              the Partnership is entitled to a lease termination payment.

         The following is a description of the principal financial terms of the
leases listed in the table.

         Kiwi International Air Lines Leases The Partnership owns two Boeing
727-200 non-advanced aircraft, originally acquired on December 1988 for
$6,308,000 per aircraft. The aircraft were originally leased to Northwest
Aircraft, Inc. ("Northwest") subject to operating leases, one of which expired
in August 1993 and the other of which expired in April 1994, both after short
extensions. Upon the expiration of the leases, Northwest paid the Partnership
$433,000 and 

                                       3
<PAGE>   6
$325,000 representing economic settlements in lieu of completing certain
maintenance procedures required under the respective leases. On February 1994
and April 1994, the Partnership entered into the leases with Kiwi, each for
terms of approximately five years with rents payable monthly in advance at
$55,000 per aircraft. The leases also required Kiwi to pay maintenance reserves
of $250 per flight hour, which can be drawn down by Kiwi, for specific
maintenance procedures. The aircraft were delivered in April and July 1994. In
connection with the first Kiwi lease, the Partnership also acquired an
additional aircraft engine at a cost of $195,000, which is used as a spare by
Kiwi, at $105 per flight hour of use.

         In connection with the Kiwi leases, the Partnership completed certain
maintenance procedures, aircraft-aging related modifications, the purchase of
the spare engine for Kiwi's fleet discussed above and other lessee-required
modifications prior to delivery of the aircraft to Kiwi at an aggregate cost of
$3,303,000 of which $580,000 represented maintenance-related work funded by the
maintenance-related payments received from Northwest and the balance of which
was capitalized as part of the Partnership's basis in the aircraft.

         During the terms of the leases Kiwi can request that the aircraft be
hushkitted to obtain Stage III noise abatement for which the lease term will be
reset to five years with lease payments increasing to amortize the cost of
hushkitting at the rate of 2% per month (increased for inflation). 
Alternatively, the Partnership can deem the hushkitting economically 
unfeasible at which point Kiwi can terminate the lease and return the aircraft.
As discussed in Item 1, Business, "Aircraft Noise Regulating, all operators
(i.e. commercial airlines) are required to achieve Stage 3 noise reduction with
respect to 50% of their fleet by December 31, 1996. Based upon the composition
of its fleet, management believes that Kiwi will request that the Partnership
hushkit one or both of the 727 aircraft by December 1996.
               
         During 1995, Kiwi encountered continued liquidity and operating
problems. The Partnership and Kiwi agreed to a deferral of February 1995 and
half of March 1995 rent ($165,000 in the aggregate) plus an accommodation to
permit Kiwi to not fund the maintenance reserves in February, March and April
1995. The deferred rent is payable with interest of 12% over a 9-month period
which began July 1, 1995. All payments have been made as scheduled through
December 31, 1995 and the outstanding balance of rents receivable was
approximately $56,000 as of such date. The Partnership received or accrued
approximately $200,000 in 1995 with respect to the utilization lease of the
spare engine, approximately $100,000 of which was accounted for as reserves for
maintenance. Additionally, at December 31, 1995, the Partnership held
maintenance deposits aggregating $1,135,000 with respect to the Kiwi aircraft
which are reflected as restricted cash on the balance sheet dated December 
31, 1995. Kiwi requested additional time to make February 1996 rental, deferred
rental and maintenance payments and made such payments in late February 1996
and early March 1996. Kiwi's ability to make timely lease and maintenance
reserve payments in the future is uncertain due to its continued liquidity and
capital concerns.
                      
         The Partnership recorded provisions for decline in market value of
$1,943,000 and $2,335,000 during the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1992,
respectively, with respect to these aircraft. These provisions are reflected in
the carrying value of the Partnership's investments in these two aircraft as of
December 31, 1995.

         Continental Airlines Leases During December 1988, the Partnership
acquired a Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft for a total purchase price of
$8,025,000. The aircraft was originally subject to an operating lease with
Continental Airlines, Inc. ("Continental"), the term of which ends on October
31, 1996. Rental payments are payable monthly, in advance at the rate of
$81,000.

         During December 1988, the Partnership acquired a Boeing 747-100
aircraft for a total purchase price of $17,847,000. The aircraft was originally
subject to an operating lease with Continental, the term of which was scheduled
to expire on April 30, 1996 with rental payable monthly, in advance, at the rate
of $269,000.

        In January 1995, Continental announced that it was grounding its Airbus
Industrie manufactured aircraft and taking certain Boeing 747 aircraft out of
service, including the Boeing 747 Aircraft owned by the Partnership. Continental
discontinued utilizing the Aircraft, did not make any rental payments after
January 1995 and returned the Aircraft to the Partnership. The Partnership sent
Continental a default notice with respect to the unpaid rent and preserved all
of its rights against Continental. During the quarter ended September 30, 1995
the Partnership and Continental completed the negotiation of a lease settlement
agreement ("Lease Settlement"). Under the terms of the Lease Settlement,
Continental agreed to pay the Partnership the amount otherwise due under the
Lease as rent for the period February 1995 to August 1995 plus a discounted
amount representing the amount of rent that would have been due under the Lease
for the period September 1, 1995 to April 30, 1996, the scheduled expiration
date of the Lease. Continental returned the Aircraft and engines in the return
condition required by the Lease. On October 16, 1995 the Partnership received
the Lease Settlement proceeds totaling $3,906,491.

        A substantial portion of the proceeds were accounted for under the cost
recovery method reducing the Partnership's net carrying value of the aircraft.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had a carrying value of $6,061,000 in the
747-100 aircraft which approximated its estimated market value at such date. The
remaining gain on the lease settlement was offset by the related management fees
accrued and thus no net gain or loss was recognized on the settlement.

        The Partnership is remarketing the aircraft and has had lease
negotiations with several potential lessees. The Partnership estimates that the
aircraft will require approximately $1.3 million of maintenance work in order to
integrate the aircraft to a new lessee. It is anticipated that the Partnership
will utilize its loan facility or cash reserves to finance such maintenance and
integration costs.

         Continental did not make the monthly rental payments under the leases
on December 1, 1990 and filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection on December
3, 1990. Below is a description of the various lease modifications and other
financial agreements that the Partnership has with Continental, principally as
the result of the bankruptcy.

         On July 3, 1991, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement amending
the Partnership's lease agreements with Continental with respect to the
Partnership's Boeing 727-200 advanced, and Boeing 747-100, aircraft. Pursuant to
the agreement, Continental paid 50% of the rentals due each month, effective
June 1, 1991. Continental resumed paying 100% of the 

                                       5
<PAGE>   8
rentals due each month beginning October 1, 1991, issued promissory notes for
the unpaid rents for December 1990 through May 1991 and the remaining 50% of the
rentals due for the months of June 1991 through September 1991 (which totaled
$2,798,000 and which were sold to a third party) and reduced the rentals with
respect to the Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft from $118,000 to $81,000 per
month, effective December 1, 1990. The amount of the rent payable with respect
to the Boeing 747-100 aircraft was not changed at that time.

         Additionally, the Partnership also agreed to and advanced $500,000 for
certain qualifying capital expenditures incurred by Continental with respect to
the Boeing 747-100 aircraft and $250,000 for the Boeing 727-200 advanced
aircraft which are being repaid by Continental with interest at 12% per annum,
over the lesser of 36 months or the then remaining lease term. The advances for
these qualifying capital expenditures were funded from operating reserves. The
balance of the related receivables aggregated $199,000 at December 31, 1995. All
first quarter 1996 repayments of advances have been made by Continental when
due.

         On December 30, 1992, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement to
further amend the Partnership's lease agreements with Continental with respect
to the Partnership's Boeing 727-200 Advanced and Boeing 747-100, aircraft.
Pursuant to the agreement, rentals attributable to the period from November 1,
1992 through February 15, 1993 were deferred. Continental resumed paying rentals
on a current basis beginning February 15, 1993. The deferred rentals are
payable, along with interest at the rate of 8.70% per annum, in 36 equal monthly
installments which began May 1, 1993. At December 31, 1995, the balance of the
deferred rentals was $152,000. All first quarter 1996 repayments of deferred
rentals have been made by Continental when due.

         The Partnership recorded provisions for decline in market value of
$400,000 and $57,000 during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, to reflect an estimate of the recoverability of the Partnership's
investment in the Boeing 727-200 aircraft.

         The lease of the Boeing 727-200 expires in October 1996, unless
renewed. The Partnership is investigating opportunities with respect to the
aircraft if it is returned by Continental, including an upgrade to Stage 3 or 
cargo conversion (See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations").

         Trans World Airlines Lease During February 1989, the Partnership
acquired a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft for a total purchase price of
$21,017,000. The aircraft is subject to an operating lease with TWA.  
Airlines, Inc. ("TWA"). The lease which was originally scheduled to expire on
April 23, 1993 was modified and under the terms of the lease amendment was
extended until October 1, 1998 with rentals payable monthly, in advance, at the
rate of $185,000 per month.                                     

         Pursuant to the lease amendment, the Partnership reimbursed TWA for
$225,000 of capital improvements which were made to the aircraft and advanced
$750,000 to TWA to finance certain major maintenance procedures which were
performed on the aircraft. TWA is repaying the $750,000 to the Partnership over
the remaining lease term, in equal monthly installments, with interest at a
fixed rate of 9.68%. At December 31, 1995, the balance of the receivable was

                                       6
<PAGE>   9
$428,000 ($557,000 at December 31, 1994). All first quarter 1996 payments have
been made by TWA as scheduled.

         In mid-October 1994 because of operating and financial problems, TWA
announced that it would seek a global restructuring of its capital by offering
common stock for its debt securities, preferred stock obligations and lease
deferrals negotiated with aircraft lessors such as the Partnership ("Exchange
Offer"). TWA and the Partnership agreed to a deferral of 50% of the rent
scheduled for November 1994 and 75% of the rent scheduled from December 1994 to
April 1995 with originally scheduled payments resuming in May 1995.
Additionally, TWA and the Partnership reached an agreement to extend the lease
of the MD-82 aircraft six years beyond the then scheduled expiration date to
October 1, 2004 at the current lease rate of $185,000 per month. The rents
deferred during the November 1994 to April 1995 period are being repaid with
interest at 12% from the date of the deferral over an 18 month period which
began May 1, 1995. On June 30, 1995, TWA filed a prepackaged reorganization plan
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On August 23, 1995, the
reorganization plan, which included the foregoing lease modifications, was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and TWA emerged from bankruptcy. TWA has made
all rental payments, advance repayments and payments of deferred rent when due.
However, there can be no assurance that TWA will be able to meet its obligations
in the future. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership had $465,000 and
$231,000 of deferred rent receivables relating to the TWA aircraft which were
included in rents and other receivables on the balance sheets.

         USAir Lease During March 1989, the Partnership acquired one-half of the
beneficial interest in a trust ("Trust") which is the owner/lessor of a
McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft for a total purchase price of $9,999,000. The
remaining one-half interest in the Trust is owned by Pegasus Aircraft Partners
II, L.P., an affiliated partnership. The aircraft is subject to an operating
lease with USAir, Inc., the term of which ends on June 1, 1998. The lease may be
terminated subject to the lessee's guarantee that the Partnership will receive
contractually defined minimum termination values upon remarketing of the
aircraft. Rental payments are payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of
$304,000 (for the Partnership's one-half interest in the aircraft). The lease
provides for one three-year renewal option, at the same quarterly rental rate.
If the lease is not renewed for the first renewal period, the lessee must make a
termination payment of $1,113,000 to the Partnership. USAir also has three
additional one-year renewal options at fair market rental rates. USAir may elect
to purchase the aircraft at its fair market value at the end of any renewal
term.

         The McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft was purchased subject to a tax
benefit transfer lease ("TBT lease") which provided for the transfer of the
investment tax credits and depreciation deductions with respect to the aircraft
to a tax lessor. Under the TBT lease, the Trust, as the owner of the aircraft
and the tax lessee under the TBT lease, has agreed to indemnify the tax lessor
if certain anticipated tax benefits are lost by the tax lessor as a result of,
among other things, acts or omissions by the Trust, breach of covenants by the
Trust under the TBT lease, loss or damage to the aircraft or use of the aircraft
outside the United States. The TBT lease requires that a letter of credit be
posted to collateralize this obligation. The Partnership is obligated for its
share of the cost of the letter of credit as well as any related calls on the
letter of credit.

                                       7
<PAGE>   10
         The letter of credit has a current face amount of approximately $2.3
million. Under the terms of the letter of credit agreement, the Partnership was
required to deposit with the Lender $35,000 per quarter as cash collateral to
collateralize the obligation. In conjunction with the extension of the
Partnership loan commitment (see Item 7, "Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" and Item 8, "Financial
Statements," Footnote 7, Loans payable), the Lender released its interest in
substantially all of the cash in the collateral account. The balance in the cash
collateral account was $455,000 ($70,000 of which was funded in 1995) at the
time the bank released the funds. The Partnership remains obligated under the
letter of credit arrangement.

         Under the operating lease, the lessee, USAir, has assumed all
liabilities, indemnities and obligations of the Trust to the tax lessor under
the TBT lease and has agreed to indemnify the Trust for any liability, indemnity
or obligation to the tax lessor under the TBT lease except for liability
resulting from breaches by the Trust of various covenants under the operating
lease. It has not posted a letter of credit to collateralize this obligation. As
a result of the foregoing, if the tax lessor draws on the letter of credit as a
result of action by the lessee, the Partnership and Pegasus Aircraft Partners
II, L.P. through the Trust will be responsible for the loss to the tax lessor
until and if the lessee performs under its indemnification. To date, there have
been no calls on the letter of credit.

         The tax lessor is entitled to call on the letter of credit whether its
loss of tax benefits is caused by Pegasus Aircraft Partners II, L.P. or the
Partnership, and Pegasus Aircraft Partners II, L.P. and the Partnership have
agreed to indemnify each other for any loss occasioned by the acts of the other.

Significant Lessees

         The Partnership leased its aircraft to four different airlines during
1995. Revenues from all of these airlines accounted for greater than 10% of the
total rental revenues of the Partnership during 1995 as follows:

<TABLE>

         TransWorld Airlines, Inc.                                   36.5%
         USAir, Inc.                                                 20.0%
         Kiwi International Air Lines, Inc.                          23.2%
</TABLE>

(1) Additionally, the Partnership received a lease settlement payment of
$3,906,401 from Continental with respect to the early return and termination of
the lease of the Boeing 747-100 aircraft which is not included in the above
percentages. Substantially all of such settlement was accounted for under the
cost recovery method.


Safety Requirements and Aircraft Aging

         In addition to registration, the FAA imposes strict requirements
governing aircraft inspection and certification, maintenance, equipment
requirements, general operating and flight rules (including limits on arrivals
and departures), noise levels, certification of personnel and record keeping in
connection with aircraft maintenance. FAA regulations establish standards for
repairs, periodic overhauls and alterations and require that the owner or
operator of an aircraft establish an airworthiness inspection program to be
carried out by certified mechanics. No aircraft of the Partnership may be
operated without a current airworthiness certificate.

         The FAA periodically reviews Service Bulletins which are issued by the
aircraft manufacturers. These bulletins focus on safety problems that have
developed during the aircraft's operation. The FAA may incorporate these Service
Bulletins in Airworthiness Directives ("ADs"), which are mandates requiring the
airline to perform specific maintenance within a specified period of time.

         Aircraft aging is a significant issue in aircraft safety regulation. In
the past, certain aviation incidents and accidents raised concerns over the
structural integrity of older aircraft. In 1989, in its "Report to Congress on
the Status of the U.S. Stage 2 Commercial Aircraft Fleet", the FAA stated that
"no correlation has been established between the chronological age of an
aircraft and its structural airworthiness. A more accurate assessment of the
physical "age" of an aircraft is the total number of flight cycles and flight
hours flown." A flight cycle is defined as one takeoff and one landing. A flight
cycle is important because of the added stress on the airframe, landing gear and
other components from repeated takeoffs, landings and pressurizations. As
different types of aircraft have different missions, and carriers fly a variety
of routes, flight cycles can vary widely among aircraft of the same
chronological age. In general, narrow-body aircraft which are used for
short-haul service will have greater cycles per year than wide-body aircraft
used for longer routes. Other factors which contribute to the aging of an

                                       9
<PAGE>   12
aircraft are the number of hours actually flown, the predominant environment in
which an aircraft has flown, and its actual age in years.

         The FAA has adopted certain ADs for Boeing and McDonnell Douglas
aircraft models, including Boeing 727s, 737s and 747s and McDonnell Douglas
DC-9s, MD-80s and DC-10s. These ADs make mandatory the periodic replacement or
modification of structural materials, fittings and skin at certain times in the
life of an aircraft, typically when the aircraft reaches a certain number of
flight cycles or age threshold. Previously, these aircraft were subject only to
periodic inspection, and the replacement and modification of materials and parts
was done where deemed necessary. Similar ADs for Lockheed and Airbus
manufactured aircraft are expected to be proposed and adopted by the FAA. In
addition, it is widely expected that foreign civil aviation authorities,
especially in Europe and Japan, will adopt similar measures to protect the
structural integrity of older aircraft.

         These aging aircraft ADs will initially impact only a limited number of
older aircraft, but additional aircraft will be covered as they accumulate
time-and-service and reach the thresholds for the required modifications.
Significantly, in the case of each aircraft type, a significant majority of
replacements or modifications are mandated when a plane reaches a certain number
of flight cycles and relatively few required replacements are triggered when a
plane reaches a certain chronological age or number of flight hours.

         The following table summarizes the age, flight cycle, and flight hour
thresholds for each major aircraft type under the ADs. In general, these
thresholds are based on the "economic design goal" of an aircraft, which is
typically considered to be the period of service after which an increase in
maintenance costs is expected to take place in order to assure continued
operational safety. In addition, the table provides an estimate by the FAA of
the costs of complying with all of the mandated replacements and modifications
of the ADs. It is important to note that since most of the proposed work under
the ADs is based on flight cycle thresholds, those lower-cycle aircraft which
reach the aircraft age or flight hour thresholds should incur significantly
lower AD compliance cost than the total amounts estimated below.

         The Partnership's leases generally require the lessees to bear the
costs of compliance with ADs which require action during the lease terms. The
Partnership's three 727 Boeing aircraft have had the major calendar
modifications performed as required.

         Overall, the General Partners believe that the increased maintenance
costs mandated for older aircraft may have some impact on re-lease and resale
values for these aircraft, but counterbalancing this, compliance with the ADs
should also serve to prolong the revenue lives of the affected aircraft.


Aircraft Noise Regulations

         On November 5, 1990, Congress enacted into law the Airport Noise and
Capacity Act of 1990 (the "Act"). On September 24, 1991, the FAA issued the
final rules of implementation for the Act. The Act provides that Stage 2
aircraft will be phased out from operation within United States airspace as of
December 31, 1999.

         Implementing regulations proposed by the FAA would require each United
States operator to increase its Stage 3 airplane fleet to 25 percent by December
31, 1995; to 50 percent by December 31, 1996; to 75 percent by December 31, 1998
and to 100 percent by December 31, 1999.

         However, the Act further provides, that if by July 1, 1999, at least
85% of an air carrier's fleet complies with Stage 3 noise levels, the carrier
may apply for a waiver of the operational ban for the remaining aircraft in the
operator's fleet until December 31, 2003. The application for such a waiver must
be submitted to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation no later than
January 1, 1999 and must include a plan with firm orders for making all aircraft
operated by the air carrier comply with Stage 3 noise levels by December 31,
2003.

         Stage 3 hushkitting and re-engineering for the Boeing 727-200 aircraft
have been approved by the FAA. The aviation industry is in the process of
evaluating the economics of such technology. The Partnership's Boeing 747 will
comply with Stage 3 noise levels if it is flown with certain operating
restrictions. Alternatively, the engines can be upgraded with existing
technology to provide for greater performance and compliance with Stage 3
requirements.

         Certain airlines have determined that it is economically feasible to
hushkit certain Stage 2 aircraft to achieve Stage 3 noise standards. The
Partnership continues to monitor the marketplace based upon the availability of
aircraft, pricing for Stage 2 and Stage 3 aircraft and the timetable for
implementation of Stage 3, to best position the Partnership's aircraft for
continued and future deployment.

Competition

         The aircraft leasing industry is highly competitive. The Partnership
competes with aircraft manufacturers, distributors, airlines and other
operators, equipment managers, leasing companies, financial institutions and
other parties engaged in leasing, managing or remarketing aircraft, many of
which have significantly greater financial resources and greater experience than
the Partnership. Such competitors may lease aircraft at lower rates than the
Partnership and provide benefits, such as direct maintenance, crews, support
services and trade-in privileges, which the Partnership does not intend to
provide. Competitors may include certain affiliates of the General Partners.

Employees

         The Partnership has no employees. The officers, directors and employees
of the General Partners and their affiliates perform services on behalf of the
Partnership. The General Partners are entitled to certain fees and
reimbursements of certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of these management services. See Item 10 of this Report, "Directors
and Executive Officers of the Registrant", and Item 13 of this Report, "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions", which are incorporated herein by
reference.


Item 2. Properties

         The Partnership does not own or lease any physical properties other
than the aircraft and engine which are discussed in Item 1 of this Report,
"Business", which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

         In November 1994, a series of purported class actions (the "New York
Limited Partnership Actions") were filed in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York concerning PaineWebber Incorporated sale and
sponsorship of various limited partnership investments, including those offered
by the Partnership. The lawsuits were brought against PaineWebber Incorporated
and PaineWebber Group, Inc. (together, "PaineWebber"), among others, by
allegedly dissatisfied partnership investors. In March 1995, after the actions
were consolidated under the title In re: PaineWebber Limited Partnerships
Litigation, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to assert claims against a
variety of other defendants, including Air Transport Leasing Inc., an affiliate
of PaineWebber and the Administrative General Partner in the Partnership
("Administrative General Partner").

         The amended complaint in the New York Limited Partnership Actions
alleged, among other things, that, in connection with the sale of interests in 
the Partnership, PaineWebber and the Administrative General  Partners (1)
failed to provide adequate disclosure of the risks involved with  each
partnership; (2) made false and misleading representations about the  safety of
the investments and the partnership's anticipated performance; and  (3)
marketed the partnership to investors for whom such investments were not 
suitable. The plaintiffs also alleged that following 

                                       12
<PAGE>   15
the sale of the partnership investments PaineWebber and the Administrative
General Partner misrepresented financial information about the partnership's
value and performance. The amended complaint alleged that PaineWebber and the
Administrative General Partner violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act ("RICO") and the federal securities laws. The plaintiffs
sought unspecified damages, including reimbursement for all sums invested by
them in the partnerships, as well as disgorgement of all fees and other income
derived by PaineWebber from the limited partnerships. In addition, the
plaintiffs also sought treble damages under RICO.

         On May 30, 1995, the US District Court certified class action treatment
of the plaintiffs' claims in the New York Limited Partnership Actions.

         In January 1996, PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with
the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under which the parties
have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of understanding,
PaineWebber irrevocably deposited $125 million into an escrow fund under the
supervision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York to be used to resolve the litigation in accordance with a definitive
settlement agreement and plan of allocation which the parties expect to submit
to the court for its consideration and approval within the next several months.
Until a definitive settlement and plan of allocation is approved by the court,
there can be no assurance what, if any, payment or non-monetary benefits will be
made available to unitholders in the Partnership.

         In April 1995, two investors in the Pegasus limited partnerships filed
a purported class action in the Circuit Court of the State of Illinois for Cook
County entitled Robert M. Jacobson, et al. v. PaineWebber, Inc., et al., making
allegations substantially similar to those in the New York Limited Partnership 
Actions, but limited in subject matter to the sale of the Pegasus partnerships,
and without a RICO claim.  The plaintiffs in the Jacobson case simultaneously
remained as participants in the New York Limited Partnership Actions, and
subsequently sought to intervene in that action and to be named class
representatives for a separate subclass that they asked the Court to establish
consisting of investors in the Pegasus partnerships.  The court in the New York
Limited Partnership Actions has not yet ruled on their request.

         Three actions were filed in the District court for Brazoria county,
Texas, relating to the sale and sponsorship of interests in the Partnership and
an affiliated partnership.  The complaints make state law claims, specifically,
common law fraud, consipiracy, violations of section 27.01 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, fraud in the inducement, negligent
misrepresentation, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the
Texas Securities Act, and violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices
Act.  The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, including attorney's fees,
reimbursement for all sums invested by them in the partnerships, exemplary
damages, and treble damages under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.  All
three actions have been removed to federal court and two have been transferred
to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The
third action has been dismissed with the consent of the parties on the ground
that it is duplicative of the two actions now before the federal court in New
York. 

         In February 1996, approximately 150 plaintiffs filed an action entitled
Abbate v. PaineWebber Inc. in Sacramento, California Superior Court against
PaineWebber Incorporated and various affiliated entities concerning the
plaintiff's purchases of various limited partnership interests. The complaint
alleges, among other things, that PaineWebber and its related entities committed
fraud and misrepresentation and breached fiduciary duties allegedly owed to the
plaintiffs by selling or promoting limited partnership investments that were
unsuitable for the plaintiffs and by overstating the benefits, understating the
risks and failing to state material facts concerning the investments. The
complaint seeks compensatory damages of $15 million plus punitive damages.

         Under certain limited circumstances, pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement and other contractual obligations, PaineWebber and its affiliates,
including the Administrative General Partner could be entitled to 
indemnification from the Partnership for expenses and liabilities in 
connection with this litigation.  The General Partners are unable to determine

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         The Units represent the economic rights attributable to limited
partnership interests in the Partnership. There is no organized trading market
for the purchase and sale of the Units and certain measures have been adopted
and implemented to assure that no such organized trading market will develop to
assure continued Partnership status.

         As of March 1, 1996, the number of Limited Partners of record was
approximately 5,000.

         The Partnership has declared the following distributions to its Limited
Partners out of cash flow received from operations during 1995 and 1994:

         Distributions may be characterized for tax, accounting and economic
purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital, or both. The portion of
each cash distribution by a partnership which exceeds its net income for the
fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital. Based on the amount of net
income reported by the Partnership for accounting purposes, approximately 88%,
94% and 62%, respectively, of the cash distributions declared for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 constituted a return of capital. Also,
based on the amount of net income reported by the Partnership for accounting
purposes, approximately 68% of the cash

                                       15
<PAGE>   18
distributions paid to the partners from inception of the Partnership through
December 31, 1995 constituted a return of capital. However, the total actual
return on capital over the Partnership's life can only be determined at the
termination of the Partnership after all cash flows, including proceeds from the
sale of the aircraft, have been realized.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Partnership owns and manages a diversified portfolio of leased
commercial aircraft and makes quarterly distributions to the partners of net
cash flow generated by operations. In certain situations, the Partnership may
retain cash flow from operations to finance authorized capital expenditures.

         Cash distributions declared by the Partnership were approximately $7.4
million in 1995 ($1.85 per Unit), $7.3 million in 1994 ($1.80 per Unit) and $7.7
million in 1993 ($1.90 per Unit). Net cash provided by operating activities was
$6.1 million for 1995, $7.9 million for 1994 and $8.5 million for 1993. In 1995,
the Partnership received the Continental Lease Settlement proceeds of $3.9
million which was substantially accounted for under the cost recovery method and
thus, was not included in cash from operations. In the aggregate, for this three
year period net cash provided by operating activities totaled $22.5 million and
cash distributions declared by the Partnership totaled $22.4 million. Further,
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Partnership paid 

                                       16
<PAGE>   19
cash distributions of $7.7 million, $7.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively,
totaling $22.9 million for the three year period.

         Partnership equity declined by approximately $6.6 million for 1995,
from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 as a result of the declaration of
cash distributions to the partners in excess of the Partnership's net income.
This resulted from the fact that, unlike net income, cash flow generated by
operations, which is the source of the cash utilized to make the distributions,
is not reduced by depreciation expense and provisions for decline in market
value of aircraft attributable to the Partnership's aircraft. Additionally, a
significant portion of the Lease Settlement proceeds received from Continental
were accounted for under the cost recovery method and thus did not flow through
the Statement of Income for 1995. (See Footnote 1, "Significant Accounting
Policies" and Footnote 5, "Aircraft Under Operating Leases")

         Distributions may be characterized for tax, accounting and economic
purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital, or both. The portion of
each cash distribution by a partnership which exceeds its net income for the
fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital. Based on the amount of net
income reported by the Partnership for accounting purposes, approximately 88%,
94% and 62%, respectively, of the cash distributions declared for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, constituted a return of capital. Also,
based on the amount of net income reported by the Partnership for accounting
purposes, approximately 68% of the cash distributions paid to the partners from
inception of the Partnership through December 31, 1995 constituted a return of
capital. However, the total actual return on capital over the Partnership's life
can only be determined at the termination of the Partnership after all cash
flows, including proceeds from the sale of the aircraft, have been realized.

         In April 1994, the Partnership established a loan facility with a third
party lender which expired in May 1995. In July 1995, the Partnership and the
Lender completed an extension of the commitment. Under the new agreement, the
aggregate commitment remained at $4,000,000, the Partnership's ability to borrow
under the facility was extended until May 1, 1997 and the floating interest rate
charged under the facility was reduced to the Lender's prime rate plus .5%. The
Lender released the Boeing 747-100 aircraft as collateral under the loan and
received a perfected security interest in the Partnership's MD-82 aircraft
leased to TWA. Through December 31, 1995, the Partnership had borrowed an
aggregate of $2,150,000 pursuant to the loan agreement, of which $1,625,000 and
$2,000,000 were outstanding at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively. In connection with the extension of the loan commitment the Lender
released its interest in a cash collateral account established to secure the
Partnership's obligation under the letter of credit agreement relating to the
TBT lease. 

         The Partnership may require additional financing to fund future
maintenance work on aircraft, hushkitting the aircraft, or other capital
improvements such as cargo conversion. For example, because of FAA mandated
compliance with Stage 3 aircraft noise regulation, Kiwi may request the
Partnership to hushkit one or both of the 727 aircraft leased to Kiwi. If the
Partnership were to elect to hushkit these aircraft, the Partnership would need
to utilize its current loan facility or complete a new financing. The
Partnership can borrow up to 35% of the original offering proceeds. Any such
borrowings will only be made if the General Partners believe such borrowings
will be in the best interests of the Partnership and enhance portfolio value.
The 

                                       17
<PAGE>   20
Partnership cannot utilize borrowings to purchase aircraft. However, there can
be no assurance that the Partnership would be able to obtain any additional
borrowings, if required.

         At December 31, 1995, the Partnership's unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents exceeded declared but unpaid distributions to partners by
$2,465,000. At December 31, 1994, the Partnership's declared, but unpaid,
distributions to the partners exceeded unrestricted cash and cash equivalents by
$55,000. The principal reasons for the increase in cash is the retention of
approximately half of the proceeds from the Continental Lease Settlement plus
the release of the cash that was in the cash collateral account that previously
collateralized the Partnership's obligation under a letter of credit. It is 
anticipated that such proceeds will be utilized for any modification needed to 
enhance the leasability of the 747 (or any other aircraft as deemed necessary)
and for distribution to partners.

         Rent and other receivables decreased by $419,000 from $1,953,000 at
December 31, 1994 to $1,534,000 at December 31, 1995. This decrease is primarily
the result of the continued repayments of advances and deferrals to various
lessees, net of deferrals granted to lessees in 1995.

         Prepaid expenses increased by $12,000 from $35,000 at December 31, 1994
at $47,000 at December 31, 1995, due primarily to amounts associated with the
extended loan commitment (See Item 8, "Financial Statements" Note 7, "Notes
Payable")

         Payable to affiliates increased by $348,000 from $280,000 at December
31, 1994 to $628,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase was attributable to 
the management fees associated with the Continental Lease Settlement which were
accrued at December 31, 1995 and the voluntary deferral by the Administrative
General Partner of management fees and re-lease fees otherwise payable with
respect to the period commencing January 1, 1995.

         Deferred rental income increased $81,000 from $137,000 at December 31,
1994 to $218,000 at December 31, 1995 due to the receipt in December 1995, of
certain rents due January 1, 1996 with respect to the January period.

         Management and re-lease fees payable to the General Partners for the
1995 Period increased $97,000, or 16%, as compared to the 1994 Period.
Management fees (base management fees and incentive management fees) increased
by $83,000 for the 1995 Period as compared to the 1994 Period. This was
principally because of the fees recorded associated with the Continental Lease
Settlement which included a settlement of future rentals (through April 1996)
substantially all of which was accounted for under the cost recovery method,
which resulted in a greater base on which fees were recorded in 1995 as compared
to 1994. Re-lease fees incurred during the 1995 Period increased by $14,000 as
compared to the 1994 Period due principally to the fees associated with the
re-lease of the two Boeing aircraft to Kiwi during 1994 and thus was subject to
re-lease fees for only a portion of the 1994 Period.

         During 1995, TWA completed its financial restructuring and made all
payments due. Additionally, during 1995, Kiwi continued to make rental and
maintenance payments subject to the leases as amended, although it continues to
have liquidity and capital concerns. Kiwi requested an extension of time to
make related rental, deferred rent and maintenance reserve

                                       18
<PAGE>   21
payments for February 1996 and made such payments in late February 1996. 
Finally, the Partnership settled the Continental 747 lease obligations in 1995
and accepted redelivery of the aircraft. The Partnership has entered into
discussions with potential users of the aircraft. It is anticipated that
certain scheduled maintenance and integration costs, which are estimated to
aggregate $1,300,000 will be necessary to complete a remarketing. The
Partnership intends to finance such costs as necessary through its cash
reserves and loan facility. Additionally, because of the need to meet Stage 3
aircraft thresholds required by FAA mandated noise regulation, Kiwi may require
that the Partnership hushkit (upgrade to Stage 3) one or both of the 727
aircraft leased to Kiwi. If the Partnership determines to perform such work,
which is estimated to cost $1.9 million per aircraft, it will need to finance
substantially all of such cost through its loan facility or other new
borrowings which may or may not be obtainable. If the Partnership elects not to
do such work, Kiwi may terminate the lease and the Partnership may encounter
delays and costs of redeployment. The Partnership's future  cashflow will be
impacted by the timing and the lease rate achieved with  respect to a remarket
of the 747 aircraft, which was available for lease at  December 31, 1995, as
well as any changes in the status of the Kiwi leases as  the result of Kiwi's
continued liquidity concerns or because of Stage 3  implementation.
Additionally, the lease of the 727 aircraft to Continental is scheduled to
expire in October 1996, unless renewed. The Partnership is investigating
opportunities with regard to that aircraft.

Litigation

See Item 3, "Legal Proceedings" for a complete discussion of certain class
action lawsuits and related settlement.

Results of Operations

         Substantially all of the Partnership's revenue was generated from the
leasing of the Partnership's aircraft to commercial air carriers under triple
net operating leases. The balance of the Partnership's revenue consisted of
interest income earned with respect to certain advances made to lessees as well
as certain deferred rental arrangements with Continental, TWA and Kiwi.

         Under the terms of the triple net leases, substantially all of the
expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the aircraft during 1995,
were paid for by the lessees or in the case of Kiwi, funded to a certain extent
through hourly maintenance reserves paid by Kiwi. The direct lease expenses
incurred by the Partnership represent the costs of providing insurance coverage
for the Partnership's aircraft in excess of the amounts required to be carried
by the lessees, trustee fees related to the ownership of the aircraft and the
cost of the letter of credit required under the terms of the TBT lease on the
McDonnell Douglas MD-81 leased to USAir.

         The Partnership also records depreciation expense pertaining to the
aircraft and incurs certain general and administrative expenses in connection
with operations of the Partnership. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of investor reporting expenses, transfer agent and audit fees and the
cost of accounting services.

Impact Of Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standard

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued FASB 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be
Disposed of" ("FAS 121"). FAS 121 requires companies to review their long lived
assets, such as the Partnership's aircraft, and certain identifiable
intangibles for impairment whenever events and changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.
The Partnership will be required to adopt the provisions of FAS 121 as of
January 1996. The Partnership believes that based upon its operations and
current methods used to evaluate declines in market value, the future adoption
of FAS 121 will not have a material impact on the Partnerships financial
position or results of operations.

1995 as compared to 1994

         The Partnership's net income was $880,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995 ("1995 Period"), as compared to $426,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994 ("1994 Period").

                                       19
<PAGE>   22
         The increase in the Partnership's net income for the 1995 Period as
compared to the 1994 Period resulted primarily from the reduced requirement for
provision for decline in market value of aircraft in the 1995 Period as compared
to the 1994 Period ($400,000 as compared to $2,000,000) offset by a decrease in
rental revenue, as a result of the return of the 747-100 aircraft leased to
Continental. (See above discussion regarding Continental and the related Lease
Settlement.) The decrease in rental revenue was partially offset by a decrease
in depreciation due primarily to the non-recognition of depreciation expense in
the 1995 Period with respect to the 747-100 aircraft which was off lease for
substantially all of 1995 as well as a reduction in depreciable base of certain
aircraft due to the provisions for declines in market value provided in 1994.

         Rental revenue decreased $2,451,000 or 28% for the 1995 Period
principally due to the non-accrual of rent with respect to the 747-100 aircraft
which was returned early in 1995 by Continental (see discussion of Continental
Lease Settlement), which was partially offset by rents generated by the two
727-200 aircraft leased to Kiwi that were off-lease for a portion of the 1994
Period.

         Interest income for the 1995 Period increased by $63,000, or 27% in
comparison to the 1994 Period. The increase was primarily attributable to the
interest income earned with respect to the TWA rent deferrals, the Kiwi rent
deferrals and the advance made to Continental in the fourth quarter of 1994 and
the undistributed proceeds from the Continental settlement, partially offset by
the continued repayment of advances pursuant to various repayment schedules.

         The Partnership recognized other income in 1995 of $233,000 which
represented the difference between the Continental Lease Settlements proceeds
and the amount of such proceeds accounted for under the cost recovery method.
The other income was offset by related management fees.

         Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1,207,000 or 23%, for the
1995 Period in comparison to the 1994 Period. This was due primarily to the fact
that the Partnership did not recognize depreciation after the first quarter 1995
with respect to the 747-100 aircraft, which was taken out of service by
Continental during the first quarter of 1995, as well as the decrease in
depreciable basis of certain aircraft due to the provision for decline in market
value of aircraft provided in the 1994 Period.

         The Partnership provided an allowance for decline in market value of
$400,000 in the 1995 Period as compared to the $2,000,000 in the 1994 Period to
reflect the General Partner's estimate of recoverability of the Partnership
investment in certain aircraft based upon estimated Cash Flow, third party
appraisals and market conditions.

         General and administrative expenses for the 1995 Period increased by
$30,000 or 17% in comparison to the 1994 Period, principally due to an increase
in professional fees, including transfer agent servicing expenses.

         Interest expense for the 1995 Period increased by $79,000 or 64% in
comparison to the 1994 Period due to the fact that the related borrowings were
made in April and July 1994 and thus were not outstanding for the entire 1994
Period, partially offset by principal installments paid during 1995 reducing the
balance outstanding.

                                       20
<PAGE>   23
         Direct lease expenses for the 1995 Period decreased by $8,000, or 7% as
compared to the 1994 Period due principally to a reduction in the letter of
credit fee in 1995 as compared to 1994.


1994 Compared to 1993

         The Partnership's net income was $426,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994 compared to $2,881,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993.

         The decrease in the Partnership's net income for 1994 resulted
primarily from (i) an increase in the provision for decline in market value of
aircraft, (ii) a decrease in rental revenue, (iii) an increase in depreciation,
and (iv) the interest expense incurred in 1994 relating to amounts borrowed in
1994.

         Rental revenue decreased $535,000 or 6% for 1994 compared to 1993. This
decrease was principally because the Northwest aircraft leases which were
scheduled to expire in April 1993, were extended at lower lease rates. (The
first Northwest aircraft was extended until August 1993 and the second Northwest
aircraft was extended until April 1994.) Additionally, the lease term for the
McDonnell Douglas MD-82 leased to TWA was extended in April 1993 at a slightly
lower lease rate.

         Interest income increased by $12,000 or 6% in 1994 as compared to 1993.
This increase was attributable to the interest income earned with respect to the
advances which were made to TWA during April 1993 (and, therefore, were not
outstanding for all of 1993).

         Depreciation and amortization increased $218,000 or 4% for 1994 in
comparison to 1993, principally due to depreciation relating to $2,723,000 of
capitalized costs expended in connection with the two aircraft remarketed to
Kiwi. The increase was partially offset by the reduced depreciation expense
during 1994 with respect to the Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft leased to
Continental as a result of the reserve for decline in market value of the
aircraft which the Partnership recorded at December 31, 1993.

         The Partnership provided a decline in market value of aircraft in the
amount of $2,000,000 in 1994 as compared to $434,000 in 1993, to reflect the
General Partners' estimate of the recoverability of the Partnership's
investments in certain aircraft.

         Aggregate subordinated management and re-lease fees paid to the General
Partners were similar for 1994 as compared to 1993. Management fees decreased
because of the decreases in the Partnership's rental revenue and net income
(without regard to depreciation) which serve as the bases with respect to which
the management fees are calculated. However, the decrease in such management
fees was substantially offset by an increase in re-lease fees during 1994. There
were no re-lease fees prior to the second quarter of 1993.

         The Partnership incurred interest expense of $123,000 in 1994, with
respect to the borrowings made in April 1994 and July 1994. The Partnership had
no such borrowings outstanding in 1993. (See Item 8, Financial Statements, Note
7, "Notes Payable").

Inflation and Changing Prices

         Inflation has had no material impact on the operations or financial
condition of the Partnership during 1995. However, market and worldwide economic
conditions and changes in federal regulations have in the past, and may in the
future, impact the airline industry and thus lease rates and aircraft values.
Additionally, inflation and changing prices, may affect future leasing rates and
the eventual selling price of the aircraft.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Limited Partners of
Pegasus Aircraft Partners, L.P.


         We have audited the accompanying financial statements as listed in the
index on Page F-1 herein. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pegasus Aircraft
Partners, L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         As discussed in Note 9 to the Financial Statements, there is litigation
pending against, among others, the Administrative General Partner and
affiliates of the Administrative General Partner. The ultimate outcome of this
litigation and its effects, if any, on the Partnership cannot presently be
determined.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis or Presentation Pegasus Aircraft Partners, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, maintains its accounting
records and prepares financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The
most significant assumptions and estimates relate to useful life and
recoverability of the aircraft and tax indemnity provisions described below.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership invests funds not immediately
required for operations or distributions in short term, highly liquid
investments until such time as the funds are required to meet its obligations.
The short term, highly liquid investments are recorded at cost which
approximates fair market value. For purposes of the balance sheets and the
statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

         Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents maintenance reserves (also
described below) collected from Kiwi International Air Lines, Inc. ("Kiwi") with
respect to the two aircraft leased to Kiwi. (See also Note 5 "Aircraft Under
Operating Leases") In prior years, restricted cash included cash in a collateral
account that secured the Partnership's obligation under a letter of credit
agreement (See Note 5 "Aircraft Under Operating Leases" and Note 7, "Notes
Payable", for further discussion).

         Aircraft and Depreciation The aircraft are recorded at cost, which
includes acquisition costs and the acquisition fee and the financial management
advisory fee paid to the General Partners. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over an estimated economic life of twelve years (five years
for the aircraft engine separately leased to Kiwi). Improvements to aircraft are
capitalized when incurred and depreciated, generally, over the remaining useful
life of the improvement. The Partnership evaluates these estimates based upon
changes in market conditions in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, the Partnership records a provision for decline in
market value of aircraft to recognize a loss in the value of an aircraft when
the General Partners believe that the recoverability of the Partnership's
investment in an aircraft has been impaired. Proceeds received in lease
settlements or terminations are accounted for under the cost recovery method
when and to the extent that, based upon third party appraisals and market
conditions, there has been a diminution to the carrying value of the aircraft.

         Impact Of Future Adoption Of Recently Issued Accounting Standard

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued FASB 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be
Disposed of" ("FAS 121"). FAS 121 requires companies to review their long lived
assets, such as the Partnership's aircraft, and certain identifiable
intangibles for impairment whenever events and changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.
The Partnership will be required to adopt the provisions of FAS 121 as of
January 1996. The Partnership believes that based upon current operations and
current methods used to evaluate declines in market value, the future adoption
of FAS 121 will not have a material impact on the Partnerships financial
position or results of operations.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995

         Tax Benefit Transfer Lease The McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft under
lease to USAir, Inc. ("USAir")was purchased subject to a tax benefit transfer
lease which provided for the transfer of the investment tax credits and
depreciation deductions with respect to the aircraft to a tax lessor. The
transfer was accomplished by the sale, for income tax purposes only, of the
aircraft to the tax lessor for cash and a note and a leaseback of the aircraft
for rental payments which match the payments on the note. Under the terms of
the tax benefit transfer lease, the Partnership's required rental payments are
contingent upon and may, by agreement, be offset by the tax lessor's required
note payments. Accordingly, no asset or liability for the tax benefit transfer
lease has been recorded.

         Maintenance Reserve Funds Two of the Partnership's leases require the
lessee to make monthly payments to maintenance reserve funds administered by the
Partnership. The Partnership is obligated to reimburse the lessee for specified
maintenance costs out of the reserve funds, upon submission of appropriate
evidence documenting the maintenance costs incurred by the lessee. Interest
earned on the reserve funds is deposited into the funds and utilized in the same
manner as other payments to the funds. These reserve funds are included in
restricted cash on the balance sheets.

         Operating Leases The aircraft leases which are structured principally
as triple net leases are accounted for as operating leases. Lease revenues are
recognized ratably over the terms of the related leases.

         Deferred Rental Income Deferred rental income represents rental
payments received in advance which have not been earned.

         Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been made in the
financial statements since such taxes are the responsibility of the individual
partners rather than the Partnership.

         Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit The net income per limited
partnership unit is computed by dividing the net income allocated to the Limited
Partners by the weighted average number of Units outstanding for the period.


2. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

         The Partnership was formed on June 23, 1988 for the purpose of
acquiring, leasing, and ultimately selling used commercial aircraft principally
to US airlines. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Pegasus 
Aircraft Management Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pegasus Capital 
Corporation, and the Administrative General Partner is Air Transport Leasing, 
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc. (collectively, the 
"General Partners").

         The Partnership is required to dissolve and distribute all of its
assets no later than December 31, 2012. The Partnership may reinvest the
proceeds from sales of aircraft occurring prior to March 22, 1997, provided that
prior to any such reinvestment the Partnership distributes to the Limited
Partners cash in an amount sufficient to pay any federal and state income taxes
to

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995


be incurred by the Limited Partners as a result of the aircraft sale.
Thereafter, the net proceeds of any sales of aircraft will be distributed to the
partners.

         Upon formation of the Partnership, the General Partners each
contributed $500 to the capital of the Partnership, and the initial Limited
Partner contributed $100 for five limited partnership depositary units
("Units"). An additional 4,000,000 Units were then sold at a price of $20.00 per
Unit, with the Partnership receiving gross offering proceeds of $80,000,000.

         Title to the aircraft owned by the Partnership is held by
non-affiliated trustees of trusts of which the Partnership is the beneficiary or
one of two beneficiaries. The purpose of this method of holding title is to
satisfy certain registration requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration.


3. PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS

         The Partnership Agreement provides that cash flow from operations be
distributed on a quarterly basis at the General Partners' discretion, 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. Cash flow is defined in the
Partnership Agreement as including cash receipts from operations and interest
income earned, less expenses incurred and paid in connection with the ownership
and lease of the aircraft. Depreciation and amortization expenses are not 
deducted from cash receipts in determining cash flow. Distributable proceeds 
from sales of aircraft upon liquidation of the Partnership will be distributed 
in accordance with the partners' capital accounts after all allocations of 
income and losses.

         Income and losses generally will be allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners. Upon the sale of aircraft, gain
generally will be allocated, first, to the General Partners in an amount equal
to the difference between their capital contributions and 1.01% of the aggregate
capital contributions of the Limited Partners, and, then, 99% to the Limited
Partners, and 1% to the General Partners.


4. CASH EQUIVALENTS

         The Partnership invests funds not immediately required for operations
or distributions in short-term highly liquid investments. These investments are
primarily short-term commercial paper issued by large domestic corporations. At
December 31, 1995, the Partnership held short-term commercial paper issued by
Ford Motor Credit Company (with various maturities) with par values aggregating
$3,826,000, which were acquired at cost aggregating $3,806,985 and short term
commercial paper issued by John Deere, Inc. with a par value of $150,000 which
was purchased for a cost of $148,974.

                            Financial Terms of Leases

         Kiwi International Air Lines Leases The Partnership owns two Boeing
727-200 non-advanced aircraft, originally acquired on December 1988 for
$6,308,000 per aircraft. The aircraft were originally leased to Northwest
Aircraft, Inc. ("Northwest") subject to operating leases, one of which expired
in August 1993 and the other of which expired in April 1994, both after short
extensions at lower lease rates. Upon the expiration of the leases, Northwest
paid the Partnership $433,000 and $325,000 representing economic settlements in
lieu of completing certain maintenance procedures required for the respective
leases. On February 1994 and April 1994, the Partnership entered into the leases
with Kiwi, each for terms of approximately five years with rents payable monthly
in advance $55,000 per aircraft. The leases also required Kiwi to pay
maintenance reserves, which can be drawn down by Kiwi for specific maintenance
procedures, of $250 per flight hour. The aircraft were delivered in April and
July 1994. In connection with the first Kiwi lease, the Partnership also
acquired an additional aircraft engine, at a cost of $195,000, which is used as
a spare by Kiwi on a utilization basis at $105 per flight hour of use.

         In connection with the Kiwi leases, the Partnership completed certain
maintenance procedures, aircraft-aging related modifications, the purchase of
the spare engine for Kiwi's fleet discussed above and other lessee-required
modifications prior to delivery of the aircraft to Kiwi at an aggregate cost of
$3,303,000 of which $580,000 represented maintenance-related work funded by the
maintenance-related payments received from Northwest and the balance of which
was capitalized as part of the Partnership's basis in the aircraft.

         During the terms of the leases Kiwi can request that the aircraft be
hushkitted to obtain Stage III noise abatement for which the lease term will be
reset to five years with lease payments increasing to amortize the cost of
hushkitting at the rate of 2% per month. Alternatively, the Partnership can deem
the hushkitting economically unfeasible at which point Kiwi can terminate the
lease and return the aircraft. Based upon the composition of its fleet and the
FAA mandated deadlines for compliance with Stage 3 Noise Regulation, management
believes that Kiwi will request that the Partnership hushkit one or both of 
the 727 aircraft by December 1996. Such upgrade is estimated to cost $1.9
million per aircraft and the Partnership would need to acquire additional
financing to complete such work.

         During 1995, Kiwi encountered continued liquidity and operating
problems. The Partnership and Kiwi agreed to a deferral of February 1995 and
half of March 1995 rent ($165,000 in the aggregate) plus an accommodation to 
permit Kiwi to not fund the maintenance reserves in February, March and April 
1995. The deferred rent is payable with interest of 12% over a 9-month period 
which began July 1, 1995. All 1995 payments have been made as scheduled and 
the outstanding balance was approximately $56,000 at December 31, 1995. 
Additionally, at December 31, 1995, the Partnership held maintenance deposits 
aggregating $1,135,000 with respect to the Kiwi aircraft. Kiwi requested 
additional time to make February rental, deferred rental and maintenance 
payments and made such payments in late February 1996 and early March 1996. 
Kiwi's ability to make future payments on a timely basis is uncertain due to
continued liquidity and capital concerns.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995


         The Partnership recorded provisions for decline in market value of
$1,943,000 and $2,335,000 during the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1992,
respectively, with respect to these aircraft. These provisions are reflected in
the carrying value of the Partnership's investments in these two aircraft as of
December 31, 1995.

         Continental Airlines Leases During December 1988, the Partnership
acquired a Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft for a total purchase price of
$8,025,000. The aircraft was originally subject to an operating lease with
Continental Airlines, Inc. ("Continental"), the term of which ends on October
31, 1996. Rental payments are payable monthly, in advance at the rate of
$81,000.

         During December 1988, the Partnership acquired a Boeing 747-100
aircraft for a total purchase price of $17,847,000. The aircraft was originally
subject to an operating lease with Continental, the term of which was scheduled
to expire on April 30, 1996 with rental payable monthly, in advance, at the rate
of $269,000.

        In January 1995, Continental announced that it was grounding its Airbus
Industrie manufactured aircraft and taking certain Boeing 747 aircraft out of
service, including the Boeing 747 Aircraft owned by the Partnership. Continental
discontinued utilizing the Aircraft, did not make any rental payments after
January 1995 and returned the Aircraft to the Partnership. During the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 the Partnership and Continental completed the
negotiation of a lease settlement agreement ("Lease Settlement"). Under the
terms of the Lease Settlement, Continental agreed to pay the Partnership the
amount otherwise due under the Lease as rent for the period February 1995 to
August 1995 plus a discounted amount representing the amount of rent that would
have been due under the Lease for the period September 1, 1995 to April 30,
1996, the scheduled expiration date of the Lease. Continental returned the
Aircraft and engines in the return condition required by the Lease. On October
16, 1995 the Partnership received the Lease Settlement proceeds totaling
$3,906,491.

        A substantial portion of the proceeds were accounted for under the cost
recovery method reducing the Partnership's net carrying value of the aircraft.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had a carrying value of $6,061,000 in the
747-100 aircraft which approximated its estimated market value at such date. The
remaining gain on the lease settlement was offset by the related management fees
accrued and thus no net gain or loss was recognized on the settlement.

         The Partnership has entered into various lease modifications and
financing arrangements with Continental as a result of the bankruptcy which are
summarized below. Continental filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
December 3, 1990 and stopped making lease payments.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995


         On July 3, 1991, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement amending
the Partnership's lease agreements with Continental with respect to the
Partnership's Boeing 727-200 advanced, and Boeing 747-100, aircraft. Pursuant to
the agreement, Continental paid 50% of the rentals due each month, effective
June 1, 1991. Continental resumed paying 100% of the rentals due each month
beginning October 1, 1991, issued promissory notes for the unpaid rents for
December 1990 through May 1991 and the remaining 50% of the rentals due for the
months of June 1991 through September 1991 (which totaled $2,798,000 and which
were sold to an unaffiliated third party) and reduced the rentals with respect
to the Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft from $118,000 to $81,000 per month,
effective December 1, 1990. The amount of the rent payable with respect to the
Boeing 747-100 aircraft was not changed.

         Additionally, the Partnership also agreed to and advanced $500,000 for
certain qualifying capital expenditures incurred by Continental with respect to
the Boeing 747-100 aircraft and $250,000 for the Boeing 727-200 advanced
aircraft. Continental agreed to repay the amounts advanced by the Partnership
pursuant to this financing arrangement, with interest at 12% per annum, over the
lesser of 36 months or the then remaining lease term. The advances for these
qualifying capital expenditures, were funded from operating reserves. The
balance of the related receivables aggregated $199,000 at December 31, 1995. All
first quarter 1996 repayments of advances have been made by Continental when
due.

         On December 30, 1992, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement to
further amend the Partnership's lease agreements with Continental with respect
to the Partnership's Boeing 727-200 advanced, and Boeing 747-100, aircraft.
Pursuant to the agreement, rentals attributable to the period from November 1,
1992 through February 15, 1993 were deferred. Continental resumed paying rentals
on a current basis beginning February 15, 1993. The deferred rentals are
payable, along with interest at the rate of 8.70% per annum, in 36 equal monthly
installments which began May 1, 1993. At December 31, 1995, the balance of the
deferred rentals was $152,000. All first quarter 1996 repayments of deferred
rentals have been made by Continental when due.

         The Partnership recorded a provision for decline in market value of
$400,000 and $57,000 during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, to reflect an estimate of recoverability of the Partnership's
investment in the Boeing 727-200 aircraft.

         Trans World Airlines Lease During February 1989, the Partnership
acquired a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft for a total purchase price of
$21,017,000. The aircraft is subject to an operating lease with Trans World
Airlines, Inc. ("TWA"). The lease which was originally scheduled to expire on
April 23, 1993 was modified and under the terms of the lease amendment was
extended until October 1, 1998 with rentals payable monthly, in advance, at the
rate of $185,000 per month.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995


         Pursuant to the lease amendment, the Partnership reimbursed TWA for
$225,000 of capital improvements and advanced $750,000 to TWA to finance certain
major maintenance procedures. TWA is repaying the $750,000 to the Partnership
over the remaining lease term, in equal monthly installments, with interest at a
fixed rate of 9.68%. At December 31, 1995, the balance of the receivable was
$428,000 ($557,000 at December 31, 1994). All first quarter 1996 payments have
been made by TWA.

         In mid-October 1994 because of operating and financial problems, TWA
announced that it would seek a global restructuring of its capital by offering
common stock for its debt securities preferred stock obligation and lease
deferrals negotiated with aircraft lessors such as the Partnership ("Exchange
Offer"). TWA and the Partnership agreed to a deferral of 50% of the original
rent scheduled for November 1994 and 75% of the original schedule from December
1994 to April 1995 with originally scheduled payments resuming in May 1995.
Additionally, TWA and the Partnership reached an agreement to extend the lease
of the MD-82 aircraft by six years beyond the then scheduled expiration date to
October 1, 2004 at the current lease rate at $185,000 per month. All rents
deferred during the November 1994 to April 1995 period are scheduled to be
repaid with interest at 12% from the date of the deferral over an 18 month
period commencing May 1, 1995. On June 30, 1995, TWA filed its prepackaged
reorganization plan under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On August 23,
1995, the reorganization plan, which included the foregoing lease
modifications, was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, and TWA emerged from
bankruptcy. TWA has made all rental payments, advance repayments and payments
of deferred rent when due. However, there can be no assurance that TWA will be
able to meet its obligations in the future. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership had $465,000 and $231,000 of deferred rent receivables relating to
the TWA aircraft which were included in rents and other receivables on the
balance sheets.    

         USAir Lease During March 1989, the Partnership acquired one-half of the
beneficial interest in a trust ("Trust") which is the owner/lessor of a
McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft for a total purchase price of $9,999,000. The
remaining one-half interest in the Trust is owned by Pegasus Aircraft Partners
II, L.P., an affiliated partnership. The aircraft is subject to an operating
lease with USAir, the term of which ends on June 1, 1998. The lease may be
terminated subject to the lessee's guarantee that the Partnership will receive
contractually defined minimum termination values upon remarketing of the
aircraft. Rental payments are payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of
$304,000 (for the Partnership's one-half interest in the aircraft). The lease
provides for one three-year renewal option, at the same quarterly rental rate.
If the lease is not renewed for the first renewal period, the lessee must make a
termination payment of $1,113,000 to the Partnership. The lessee also has three
additional one-year renewal options at fair market rental rates. The lessee may
elect to purchase the aircraft at its fair market value at the end of any
renewal term.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995


         The McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft was purchased subject to a tax
benefit transfer lease ("TBT lease") which provided for the transfer of the
investment tax credits and depreciation deductions with respect to the aircraft
to a tax lessor. Under the TBT lease, the Trust, as the owner of the aircraft
and the tax lessee under the TBT lease, has agreed to indemnify the tax lessor
if certain anticipated tax benefits are lost by the tax lessor as a result of,
among other things, acts or omissions by the Trust, breach of covenants by the
Trust under the TBT lease, loss or damage to the aircraft or use of the aircraft
outside the United States. The TBT lease requires that a letter of credit be
posted to secure this obligation. The Partnership shares in the annual cost of
the letter of credit and is obligated for one-half of any calls on the letter of
credit.

         The letter of credit has a current face amount of approximately $2.3
million. Through June 1995 the letter of credit agreement obligated the
Partnership to deposit $35,000 per quarter (beginning on June 1, 1992 and
originally scheduled to terminate on June 1, 1997) into a restricted account at
the bank ("Lender") which issued the current letter of credit. The funds in this
restricted account, which totaled $385,000 at December 31, 1994, served as cash
collateral to collateralize the Partnership's obligations under the letter of 
credit agreement. In July 1995, the Partnership restructured its borrowing 
arrangement with the Lender, extending the $4,000,000 commitment to May 1997. 
The Lender, which also separately held the cash collateral account, released 
its Security interest in the cash collateral account and eliminated the
requirement for future deposits to such account.
             
         Under the operating lease, the lessee, USAir, Inc., has assumed all
liabilities, indemnities and obligations of the Trust to the tax lessor under
the TBT lease and has agreed to indemnify the Trust for any liability, indemnity
or obligation to the tax lessor under the TBT lease except for liability
resulting from breaches by the Trust of covenants under the operating lease. It
has not posted a letter of credit to secure this obligation. As a result of the
foregoing, if the tax lessor draws on the letter of credit as a result of action
by the lessee, the Partnership and Pegasus Aircraft Partners II, L.P., through
the Trust, will be responsible for the loss to the tax lessor until they can 
obtain indemnification from the lessee.

         The tax lessor is entitled to call on the letter of credit whether its
loss of tax benefits is caused by Pegasus Aircraft Partners II, L.P. or the
Partnership, and Pegasus Aircraft Partners II, L.P. and the Partnership have
agreed to indemnify each other for any loss occasioned by the acts of the other.
To date, there have been no calls against the letter of credit.

         General The aircraft leases are principally triple net leases. As such,
during the terms of leases, the lessees are required to pay substantially all
expenses associated with the aircraft and in the case of Kiwi, also fund certain
maintenance expenses through hourly maintenance reserves paid monthly.

                               Significant Lessees

         The Partnership leased its aircraft to four different airlines during
1995. Revenues from airlines which accounted for greater than 10% of the
Partnership's total rental revenues during 1995, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

         The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental income
under the leases as of December 31, 1995 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

         The above schedule of future minimum rental income does not include the
rental income which would result from the renewal of existing leases or the
re-leasing of aircraft, except for the initial three-year renewal period (June
1998 to June 2001) for the McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft under lease to
USAir, Inc. This renewal is included since USAir must make a termination 
payment of $1,113,000 if the renewal is not exercised.

           The Partnership operates in one industry, the leasing of used
aircraft to commercial airlines.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

         Management Fees The General Partners receive a quarterly subordinated
base management fee in an amount generally equal to 1.5% of gross aircraft
rentals, net of re-lease fees paid. Of this amount, 1.0% is payable to the
Managing General Partner and 0.5% is payable to the Administrative General
Partner. During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the General
Partners earned base management fees of $148,000, $126,000 and $135,000,
respectively.

         The General Partners also receive a quarterly subordinated incentive
management fee in an amount equal to 4.5% of quarterly cash flow and sales
proceeds (net of resale fees), of which 2.5% is payable to the Managing General
Partner and 2.0% is payable to the Administrative General Partner. During the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the General Partners earned
incentive management fees of $426,000, $365,000 and $396,000, respectively.

         Re-lease Fee The General Partners receive a quarterly subordinated fee
for re-leasing aircraft or renewing a lease in an amount equal to 3.5% of the
gross rentals from such re-lease or renewal for each quarter for which such
payment is received. Of this amount, 2.5% is payable to the Managing General
Partner and 1.0% is payable to the Administrative General Partner. During the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the General Partners earned
$124,000, $110,000 and $71,000, respectively of re-lease fees.

         Accountable Expenses The General Partners are entitled to reimbursement
of certain expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership which are incurred in
connection with the administration and management of the Partnership. Such
reimbursable expenses amounted to $50,000, $50,000 and $51,000 during 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively, all of which were paid or accrued to the Administrative
General Partner.

         Other In 1994, the Partnership acquired an aircraft engine from Pacific
Aviation Holding Company, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, at a
purchase price of $195,000. The purchase price paid by the Partnership was equal
to Pacific Aviation Holding Company's actual cost of the engine. The depreciated
cost of the engine is included in Aircraft, net on the balance sheet on December
31, 1995.

         During 1995, the Administrative General Partner voluntarily deferred
the receipt of management fees and release fees earned beginning January 1,
1995. Such amount aggregated $273,000.

7. NOTES PAYABLE

         During April 1994, the Partnership established a loan facility with an
unaffiliated, third-party lender ("Lender"), which was collateralized by the
Partnership's one-half interest in the McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft leased
to USAir, Inc. ("USAir") and the Partnership's Boeing 747-100 aircraft leased to
Continental. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Partnership was entitled
to borrow up to $4,000,000, the commitment for which expired on May 1, 1995. The
loan agreement required a commitment fee on the unborrowed funds of .5% per
annum payable quarterly. There are no compensating balance requirements. The
Partnership had an option for a fixed (market interest rate on the U.S. Treasury
bond with a similar maturity plus 2.75%) or floating (the Lender's prime rate
plus 1.5%) rate of interest.

         In July 1995, the Partnership and the Lender completed an extension of
the commitment. Under the new agreement, the aggregate commitment will remain at
$4,000,000, the Partnership's ability to borrow under the facility will be
extended until May 1, 1997 and the floating interest rate charged under the
facility will be reduced to the Lender's prime rate plus .5%. The Lender
released the Boeing 747-100 aircraft as collateral under the loan and received
as substitute collateral a perfected security interest in the Partnership's
MD-82 aircraft leased to TWA. Through December 31, 1995, the Partnership had
borrowed an aggregate of $2,150,000 pursuant to the loan agreement, of which
$1,625,000 and $2,000,000 were outstanding at December 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994, respectively.

         Based upon the outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1995, the
required repayment schedule is as follows: (in thousands)

9. LITIGATION

         In November 1994, a series of purported class actions (the "New York
Limited Partnership Actions") were filed in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York concerning PaineWebber Incorporated sale and
sponsorship of various limited partnership investments, including those offered
by the Partnership. The lawsuits were brought against PaineWebber Incorporated
and PaineWebber Group, Inc. (together, "PaineWebber"), among others, by
allegedly dissatisfied partnership investors. In March 1995, after the actions
were consolidated under the title In re: PaineWebber Limited Partnerships
Litigation, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to assert claims against a
variety of other defendants, including Air Transport Leasing Inc., an affiliate
of PaineWebber and the Administrative General Partner in the Partnership
("Administrative General Partner").

         The amended complaint in the New York Limited Partnership Actions
alleged among other things, that, in connection with the sale of interests in
The Partnership, PaineWebber and the Administrative General Partners (1) failed
to provide adequate disclosure of the risks involved with each partnership; (2)
made false and misleading representations about the safety of the investments
and the partnership's anticipated performance; and (3) marketed the partnership
to investors for whom such investments were not suitable. The plaintiffs also
alleged that following the sale of the partnership investments PaineWebber and
the Administrative General Partner misrepresented financial information about
the partnership's value and performance. The amended complaint alleged that
PaineWebber and the Administrative General Partner violated the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") and the federal securities
laws. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages, including reimbursement for
all sums invested by them in the partnerships, as well as disgorgement of all
fees and other income derived by PaineWebber from the limited partnerships. In
addition, the plaintiffs also sought treble damages under RICO.                 

         On May 30, 1995, the US District Court certified class action treatment
of the plaintiffs' claims in the New York Limited Partnerships Actions.

         In January 1996, PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with
the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under which the parties
have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of understanding,
PaineWebber irrevocably deposited $125

million into an escrow fund under the supervision of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York to be used to resolve the litigation
in accordance with a definitive settlement agreement and plan allocation which
the parties expect to submit to the court for its consideration and approval
within the next several months. Until a definitive settlement and plan of
allocation is approved by the court, there can be no assurance what, if any,
payment or non-monetary benefits will be made available to unitholders in the
Partnership.

         In April 1995, two investors in the Pegasus limited partnerships filed
a purported class action in the Circuit Court of the State of Illinois for Cook
County entitled Robert M. Jacobson, et al. v. PaineWebber, Inc., et al., making
allegations substantially similar to those in the New York Limited Partnership 
Actions, but limited in subject matter to the sale of the Pegasus partnerships,
and without a RICO claim.  The plaintiffs in the Jacobson case simultaneously
remained as participants in the New York Limited Partnership Actions, and
subsequently sought to intervene in that action and to be named class
representatives for a separate subclass that they asked the Court to establish
consisting of investors in the Pegasus partnerships.  The court in the New York
Limited Partnership Actions has not yet ruled on their request.

         Three actions were filed in the District court for Brazoria county,
Texas, relating to the sale and sponsorship of interests in the Partnership and
an affiliated partnership.  The complaints make state law claims, specifically,
common law fraud, consipiracy, violations of section 27.01 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, fraud in the inducement, negligent
misrepresentation, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the
Texas Securities Act, and violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices
Act.  The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, including attorney's fees,
reimbursement for all sums invested by them in the partnerships, exemplary
damages, and treble damages under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.  All
three actions have been removed to federal court and two have been transferred
to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The
third action has been dismissed with the consent of the parties on the ground
that it is duplicative of the two actions now before the federal court in New
York. 

         In February 1996, approximately 150 plaintiffs filed an action entitled
Abbate v. PaineWebber Inc. in Sacramento, California Superior Court against
PaineWebber Incorporated and various affiliated entities concerning the
plaintiff's purchases of various limited partnership interests. The complaint
alleges, among other things, that PaineWebber and its related entities committed
fraud and misrepresentation and breached fiduciary duties allegedly owed to the
plaintiffs by selling or promoting limited partnership investments that were
unsuitable for the plaintiffs and by overstating the benefits, understating the
risks and failing to state material facts concerning the investments. The
complaint seeks compensatory damages of $15 million plus punitive damages.

         Under certain limited circumstances, pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement and other contractual obligations, Paine Webber and its affiliates
including, the Administrative General Partner could be entitled to
indemnification from the Partnership for expenses and liabilities in connection
with this litigation. The General Partners are unable to determine the effect,
if any, of such action on the Partnership's financial statements, taken as a
whole.
           

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires disclosure of fair value of certain financial instruments, whether
or not reported on the balance sheet. Where quoted market prices are available
the values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In addition,
SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements including leased aircraft owned by
the Partnership. Therefore, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
purport to represent and should not be considered representative of the
underlying market value of the Partnership.

         The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each
class of the financial instruments are described below.

         Cash equivalents. For cash equivalents, carrying value approximates
fair value.

         Restricted cash. For Restricted cash, carrying value approximates fair
value.

         Rents and other receivables. For rents and other receivables, carrying
value approximates fair value.

         Prepaid expenses. For prepaid expenses, carrying value approximates
fair value.

         Notes payable. For notes payable, carrying value approximates fair
value.

         Distribution to partners. For distribution to partners, carrying value
approximates fair value.

         Accounts payable and accrued expenses payable to affiliates, and
accrued interest payable. For accounts payable and accrued expenses payable to
affiliates, and accrued interest payable, carrying value approximates fair
value.

         Maintenance reserves payable. For maintenance reserves payable,
carrying value approximates fair value.

         Deferred rental income. For deferred rental income, carrying value
approximates fair value.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

         The General Partners and their affiliates have received, or will
receive, certain types of compensation, fees or other distributions in
connection with the operations of the Partnership. The fees and compensation

Partners and their affiliates during 1995.

         Base Management Fee The General Partners receive a quarterly
subordinated fee in an amount generally equal to 1.5% of gross aircraft rentals,
net of re-lease fees paid. Of this amount, 1.0% is payable to the Managing
General Partner and 0.5% is payable to the Administrative General Partner.
During 1995, the General Partners earned base management fees of $148,000.

       satisfaction. If the Disputed Engine passes such borescope inspection,
       Lessor shall be entitled to observe Lessee's engine performance run.
       Lessor has completed its records inspection with respect to the Disputed
       Engine. If the Disputed Engine is not accepted by Lessor, Lessee shall
       promptly deliver and install a replacement engine which meets the
       required return conditions under the Lease.

  (d)  With respect to Engine S/N's 662273 and 662367 and the Disputed Engine
       and any replacement engine therefor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum
       of $1,500 per day from and including October 10, 1995 with respect to
       the Disputed Engine, October 21, 1995 with respect to Engine S/N 662273

principal amount not to exceed the Commitment.

2.2. Notice of Borrowings and Conversions.

         (a) The Borrower shall give written notice to CoreStates (the
"Borrowing Notice") of each Loan requested hereunder. Each Borrowing Notice
shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by CoreStates no
later than 12:00 noon (Philadelphia time) on the date which is three Business
Days prior to the date of the Loan. Each Borrowing Notice shall be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto and shall contain the information set

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
(which shall be at least $500,000 or such lesser amount as shall, when
aggregated with all other outstanding Loans, constitute the entire Commitment),
(ii) whether such Loan shall be designated as a Floating Rate Loan or a Fixed
Rate Loan, and (iii) a representation from the Borrower that (1) the
representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article 3 hereof and
any of the other Financing Documents are true and correct in all respects on the
date of such Borrowing Notice as if made on such date, unless such
representations and warranties expressly relate to another date, (2) there
exists no Event of Default hereunder, nor any default or event of default under
any of the other Financing Documents, and (3) all other conditions precedent to
the making of such Loan as set forth in Article 4 hereof have been fully
satisfied.

         (b) If at such time no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Borrower shall have the right at any time to convert all or any
of the Floating Rate Loans to a Fixed Rate Loan at any time during the Loan Term
provided that the Borrower shall give CoreStates written notice (the "Conversion

Notice by CoreStates. Each Conversion Notice shall be in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, and shall contain the information set forth therein. The Borrower shall

2.3. The Note.

         (a) The Borrower's obligations to pay the principal of, and the
interest on, the Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the
"Note") duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, in the form of Exhibit C
hereto. The Note shall be subject to repayment in accordance with Section 2.4
hereof.

         (b) In lieu of issuing a new Note upon the making of each Loan other

Note by CoreStates and which shall set forth the Loan Closing Date for such
Loan, the principal amount of such Loan, the interest rate on such Loan and the

Loans, and (iii) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and
interest. All entries in Borrower's Loan Account shall be made in accordance

pay the amount reflected as owing by it under its Loan Account and all of its
other obligations hereunder as such amounts become due or are declared due
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
failure by CoreStates to make such entries on the Loan Account or to attach a
Loan Repayment Schedule to the Note shall not affect the rights of CoreStates or
the obligations of Borrower hereunder

                                        6
<PAGE>   7

Floating Rate Loans, the Floating Rate. Such interest shall be due and payable
in arrears on each Payment Date.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest on
the Loan and any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable by the
Borrower hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) which shall not be paid in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the
period commencing on the due date thereof until the same is paid in full at the
Post-Default Rate. Such interest shall be payable on demand of CoreStates.

         (c) Anything in this Agreement or the Note to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest
shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be
required to be made to CoreStates to the extent that CoreStates' receipt thereof
would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to CoreStates limiting
rates of interest which may be charged or collected by CoreStates. Any such
payments of interest which are not made as a result of the limitation referred
to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrower to CoreStates on the
earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof would be
permissible under the laws applicable to CoreStates limiting rates of interest
which may be charged or collected by CoreStates. Such deferred interest shall
not bear interest.

2.6. Prepayments.

amount equal to (i) such excess if the outstanding amount exceeds the
Commitment, (ii) all amounts due and owing thereunder if there shall have
occurred an Event of

                                        7

Default, or (iii) the Borrower shall begin implementation of a plan to liquidate
its assets with the intent to dissolve the Borrower, in each case, along with
all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess through the date of such
prepayment and any related Prepayment Amount.

2.7. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to CoreStates a commitment fee, which fee
shall be paid quarterly on each Payment Date and shall be equal to the product

Payment Date to such Payment Date (the "Commitment Fee").

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

In order to induce CoreStates to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans
provided for herein, Borrower makes the following representations and warranties
which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Note:

3.1. Good Standing: Authorization. The Borrower is a limited partnership duly
formed pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and
existing as a limited partnership in good standing in the State of Delaware;
PAMC is a corporation duly organized and existing and in good standing in the
State of California; Air Transport is a corporation duly organized and existing
and in good standing in the State of Delaware; each of the Borrower and the
General Partners is duly qualified and in good standing and authorized to do
business in all jurisdictions wherein the nature of its business or property
makes such qualification necessary (except where the failure to so qualify would
have no material adverse consequence on the validity and enforceability of the
Loans and the security interests granted by the Security Agreement or otherwise
in the Collateral) ; and each of the Borrower and the General Partners has the
requisite power and authority to own the properties which it now owns, to carry
on its business as now conducted, to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement
and each of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, as
contemplated hereunder and thereunder. Each of the Financing Documents to which
the Borrower or the General Partners is a party constitutes (or when issued,
executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement will constitute) the
respective valid and binding obligations of the Borrower or the General
Partners, as the case may be, enforceable against the Borrower or the General
Partners, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms thereof, except as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws from time to time in effect that affect creditors' rights generally
or by limitation upon the availability of equitable remedies. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Financing Documents have been duly authorized by
all necessary proceedings on the part of the Borrower and the General Partners,
as the case may be.

3.2. Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance
of the Financing Documents will not conflict with, or result in any violation or
breach of, constitute a default under or (except as expressly contemplated by
the Security Documents) result in the creation of any security interest in
respect of any property of the Borrower or the General Partners pursuant to: (i)
the Partnership Agreement or the charter or by-laws of the General Partners,
(ii) any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Borrower or the General Partners, or (iii) any agreement or instrument to which
the Borrower or the General Partners is a party. Neither the Borrower nor the
General Partners is (or, as a result of the consummation on each Loan Closing
Date of the transactions contemplated hereby, will be) in violation of any term
of the Partnership Agreement or the charter or by-laws of the General Partners,
or of any term of any agreement, instrument, judgment or Law applicable to it,
the violation of which could be reasonably expected to materially adversely
affect the business, operations, properties, or financial

                                       9
<PAGE>   10
position of the Borrower or the General Partners. Without limiting the scope of
the foregoing, each of the Borrower and the General Partners is in compliance in
all respects with all federal and state laws, the noncompliance with which could
have a material adverse impact on the Borrower or the General Partners.

3.3. Liens. Except for permitted Liens, all of the Collateral is and will
continue to be owned by Borrower or Trustee, free and clear of all Liens.

3.4. Government Approvals. Neither the Borrower, the General Partners, nor any
of the other holders of partnership interests in the Borrower is required to
obtain any order, consent, approval or authorization of, or required to make any

aircraft mortgages) with, any governmental authority in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Security Documents and the granting of the
security interests in the Collateral pursuant to any of the Security Documents.

3.5. Full Disclosure. There is no material fact that the Borrower has not
disclosed to CoreStates or which is not disclosed in the Borrower's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
which might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, properties or financial position of the Borrower or the
General Partners. The certificates and statements delivered herewith or
heretofore by the Borrower to CoreStates in connection with the negotiation,
execution and consummation of this Agreement, taken as a whole, do not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to keep the statements contained herein or therein form being
misleading.

3.6. No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an
Event of Default. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, no default or event of
default has occurred and is continuing under the TWA Lease.

3.7. Material Agreements. The Borrower is not in default under any contract,
lease, loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, security agreement or other material
agreement or obligation to which it is a party or by which any of its properties
are bound the result of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Borrower.

3.8. Pending Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending, or so far as the Borrower is aware, threatened, against
or affecting the Borrower or any properties or any rights of the Borrower,
before any court, arbitrator or governmental body which, in the aggregate, might
adversely affect any action taken or to be taken by the Company under the
Agreement or which, in the aggregate, might materially adversely affect the
business, operations, properties or financial position of the Borrower.

3.9. Partnership Status for Tax Purposes. The Borrower is a "Partnership" for
Federal income tax purposes within the meaning of 7701(a) (2) of the Code.

3.12. Taxes. The Borrower and the General Partners have filed all Federal and
State income tax returns which are required to be filed, and have paid all taxes
as shown on said returns and all assessments received by it to the extent that
such taxes have become due, other than taxes being contested in good faith.

3.13. Security. As of the date of each Loan, the Security Agreement, the
Borrower Assignment and security interests granted to CoreStates pursuant to the
Security Documents in the property purported to be covered thereby (i) will
constitute a perfected security interest under the UCC or, with respect to the
Aircraft or interests therein otherwise subject to laws covering Liens in the
Aircraft and related interests, the relevant laws of the United States (the
"Recording Acts"), (ii) will be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and
priorities provided by the UCC or the Recording Acts, as applicable, and (iii)
will be superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons now existing or
hereafter arising whether by way of any Lien or otherwise, in each case assuming
compliance with the applicable Recording Act. On or promptly after the date of
the initial Loan, all recordations and filings shall have been accomplished with
respect to the Security Documents in each jurisdiction as may be required by law
to establish and perfect CoreStates's rights in and to the Collateral, and any
giving of notice or any other action to such end required by law has been given
or taken.

3.14. Principal Office. Borrower's chief executive offices and principal places
of business are in San Francisco, California and Weehawken, New Jersey.

3.15. Additional Representations. The Borrower makes each of the representations
and warranties which are set forth in the other Financing Documents to which the
Borrower is a party to, and for the benefit of, CoreStates as if the same were
set forth at length herein.

SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

The Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as the Commitment is in effect
and until the Note together with interest, and all other obligations incurred
hereunder, are paid in full, the Borrower will or will cause the Lessee to:

5.1. Inspection. Allow any person acting on behalf of CoreStates to visit and
inspect the Aircraft, to examine its books of record and account and to discuss
its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such times and as
often as CoreStates may reasonably request, and at CoreStates sole expense in
accordance with the terms of the Aircraft Lease during normal business hours.

5.2. Payment of Charges. Duly pay and discharge (a) all of its trade bills
before the time that any Lien attaches and (b) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon or against it or its property or
assets, or upon any property leased by it, prior to the date on which penalties
attach thereto, and (c) all lawful claims, whether for labor, materials,
supplies, services or anything else, which might or could, if unpaid, become a
Lien upon such property or assets, unless and to the extent only that (in
respect of any such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims) the validity
thereof is being contested in good faith and, if appropriate, by proper
proceeding, provided that, in the case of any such contest, the Borrower
maintains appropriate reserves with respect thereto or has made adequate
provision for the payment thereof, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles; provided, however, that to the extent that this Section

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
5.2 applies to a lessee of the Aircraft, Borrower shall only be required to pay
or discharge those amounts as they relate to the Aircraft.

5.3. Maintenance of Records. Subject to the terms of the applicable aircraft
lease, keep at all times books of record and account in which full, true and
correct entries will be made of all material dealings or transactions in
relation to its business and affairs, and the Borrower will provide adequate
protection against loss or damage to such books of record and account.

5.4. Insurance. Borrower shall (i) cause the Aircraft to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of the Aircraft Lease, but in no event shall (a)
casualty value insurance on the Aircraft be less than the greater of (1) the
fair market value of the Aircraft or (2) $5,000,000 and (b) liability insurance
be less than the limits presently prescribed under the TWA Lease, (ii) maintain
or cause to be maintained all such insurance as is required to be maintained
pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Security Agreement and (iii) cause such
insurance to be written by an insurer acceptable to CoreStates, which acceptance
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.5. Leases. Give CoreStates written notice of all material terms of any lease
to be entered into with respect to the TWA Aircraft at least 30 days prior to
entering into such lease or within such time as is reasonably practical in
connection with such lease.

documents, financing statements and other papers, as in CoreStates's reasonable
opinion may be necessary or advisable in order to assure to CoreStates the
security interest in the property granted to it by the Security Documents.


SECTION 6. NEGATIVE COVENANTS

and until the Note, together with all interest thereon, and all other
obligations incurred hereunder, are paid in full, the Borrower will not:

with the maintenance, repair, preservation, modification, or improvement of any
aircraft or flight equipment now owned by Borrower (including Indebtedness
necessary to acquire and install engine hush-kits or noise suppression
equipment), provided that such additional Indebtedness shall not exceed an
amount that results in the Borrower's aggregate Indebtedness exceeding Nine
Million Dollars ($9,000,000.00).

leasing of aircraft.

6.3. Liens. Create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon the Aircraft or any
of the Collateral whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except (i) Liens for

proceedings; (ii) other

<PAGE>   15
Liens incidental to the conduct of its business or the ownership of its property
and assets which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or
the obtaining of advances or credit and which do not, either individually or in
the aggregate, materially detract from the value of its property or assets or
materially impair their use in the operation of its business (provided that no
Lien on the Aircraft or any portion thereof or interest therein is permitted
under this clause (ii)); and (iii) Liens in favor of CoreStates.

6.4. Consolidation. Merger and Sale or Purchase of Assets. Wind up, liquidate or
dissolve its affairs or enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation,
or convey, sell, or otherwise dispose of (whether in one or in a series of
transactions) all or a substantial part of its property or assets (whether now
owned or hereafter acquired), or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire all or any
substantial part of the property or assets of any Person, if such property or
assets would constitute a substantial part of the property or assets of the
Borrower, or agree to do any of the foregoing at any future time.

6.5. Advances and Loans. Except to a lessee or third party in connection with an
aircraft lease or a sale of an asset in the ordinary course of Borrower's
business, lend money or extend credit to any Person (including, but not limited
to, directors, officers, employees and stockholders) ; provided, however, that
with respect to any sale of an asset in the ordinary course of business, such
loan or extension of credit shall be adequately secured by the equity in the
asset.

6.6. Prepayment, etc. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or the making of any prepayment would materially adversely effect the
Borrower's ability to pay its Indebtedness as it becomes due, make any
prepayment which is not required by a contract to which the Borrower or any of
its property is subject or bound by law on account of the principal of the
indebtedness evidenced thereby or, unless required by any such contract or by
law, retire (by acquisition) or enter into any modification, amendment or
restructuring relating to any such indebtedness if the effect of any such action
would be to accelerate principal payment thereof.

6.7. Investments. Invest in (by capital contribution or otherwise), or acquire
or purchase or make any commitment to purchase the obligations or stock of (or
other form of equity interest in), any Person, except as permitted under the
Partnership Agreement.

rights under, the Trust Agreement or any document executed in connection
therewith, without CoreStates's prior written consent.

business without 15 days' prior written notice to CoreStates.

         8.5. Waiver. CoreStates's rights, powers, privileges and remedies under
or in connection with this Agreement and the Note are cumulative and not
exclusive and shall not be waived, precluded or limited by any failure or delay
in the exercise thereof or by the partial exercise thereof or by any course of
dealing between the Borrower and CoreStates. No notice to or demand on the
Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right
of CoreStates to any other or future action in any circumstances without notice
or demand.

         8.6. Descriptive Headings, etc. The descriptive headings used in this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning
or construction of any provision hereof.

         8.7. Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns and in particular any holder from time to time of the Note, except that
the Borrower may not transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of CoreStates. In furtherance of the
foregoing, CoreStates shall be entitled at any time to grant participations in
or assign, sell or otherwise transfer the whole or any part of its rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement, the Financing Documents or any Loan or the
Note to any Person provided that such assignee shall agree to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and further provided that any such assignment, sale or
transfer shall not expand or increase any of the Borrower's obligations or
liabilities hereunder and under the other documents and agreements delivered in
connection herewith. CoreStates shall use its best efforts to give the Borrower
five (5) days prior written notice of any such participation or assignment. No
such participation, assignment, sale or other transfer shall relieve CoreStates
from its obligations hereunder and the Borrower need deal solely with CoreStates
with respect to waivers, modifications and consents to this Agreement, the
Financing Documents or the Note. Any such participant, assignee, purchase or
transferee is referred to in this Agreement as a "Bank Assignee". Borrower
agrees that the provisions of Section 8.1 (c) shall run to the benefit of each
Bank Assignee and its participations or interests herein, and CoreStates may
enforce such provisions on behalf of any

                                       19
<PAGE>   20
such Bank Assignee. The Borrower hereby further agrees that any such Bank
Assignee may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, exercise the
right of setoff with respect to such participation (and in an amount up to the
amount of such participation) as fully as if such Bank Assignee were the direct
creditor of the Borrower. Upon a participation, assignment, sale or transfer in
accordance with the foregoing, the Borrower shall execute such documents and do
such acts as CoreStates may reasonably request to effect such assignment.
CoreStates may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in its possession
from time to time to Bank assignees (including prospective Bank Assignees).

8.8. Execution and Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be regarded as an original and all of which
shall constitute a single instrument and shall become effective on the date (the
"Effective Date") when each of the parties hereto shall have signed a copy
hereof (whether the same or different copies) and CoreStates shall have received
a copy executed by each party. Complete sets of counterparts shall be lodged
with both parties.

8.9. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any legal action or
proceeding against the Borrower, with respect to the Agreement or the Note or
the other Financing Documents, may be brought in the courts of the State of New
York in New York County or of the United States of America for the Southern
District of New York, as CoreStates may elect, and, by execution and delivery of
the Agreement, the Borrower accepts, for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The
Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the
aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies
thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at
its address for notices as specified herein, such service to become effective 3
days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law or the right of CoreStates to bring legal
action or proceedings in any other competent jurisdiction. THE BORROWER HEREBY
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
NOTE OR THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS.

8.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of
CoreStates, the Borrower, and their respective successors and assigns and
nothing contained herein shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the
Borrower and their respective successors and assigns any right to insist on or
to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained
herein. All conditions to the obligations of CoreStates to make the Loan
hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of CoreStates and
its successors and assigns and no other person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms and no other
Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be beneficiary of such
conditions.

8.11. Survival. Each of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants,
agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement

                                       20
<PAGE>   21
shall specifically survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Financing Documents and the making of the Loan and shall, unless otherwise
expressly provided, continue in full force and effect until the Loan together
with interest thereon, the fees and compensation of CoreStates, and all other
sums payable hereunder or thereunder have been indefeasibly paid in full.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Restated and Amended
Agreement as of July 20, 1995.

         powers and privileges thereunder or in respect thereof, and any and all
         payments thereunder or in respect thereof to which Trustee is or may

                  2. Covenants and Warranties. Trustee, not in its individual
         capacity but solely as Owner Trustee, covenants, represents, warrants
         and agrees as follows:

                                       3
<PAGE>   31
         2.1 Warranty of Title. Trustee has good and marketable title to the
Collateral free and clear of all claims, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances (other than liens permitted under the Lease, under Section 6.3 of
the Loan Agreement, including but not limited to the lien created hereby),
subject to the right and interest of the Lessee under the Aircraft Lease.
Trustee has full power and authority to grant a security interest in the
Collateral to CoreStates and, hereby warrants said title to the Collateral
against all claims and demands whatsoever subject as aforesaid. No financing
statement, mortgage or other evidence of a lien or other encumbrance with
respect to the Collateral, other than to the extent that the Aircraft Lease is
deemed an encumbrance, exists or is on file or registered in any public office
other than those representing the rights and interests of CoreStates in the
Collateral.

         2.2 Security Interest Created. This Agreement creates a valid, binding
and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of CoreStates in the
Collateral, which security interest shall be superior in right to all claims of
secured and unsecured creditors of Trustee, both individually and as Owner
Trustee, and to all other security interests, liens, claims and encumbrances.

         2.3 Recordation and Filing. (a) Except as set forth in the following
sentence, no action, including any filing or recording of any document, is
necessary in order to afford protection to CoreStates under applicable law in
connection with the creation or enforcement of its security interest granted
hereunder as a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral
other than (i) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") financing
statements with the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania and the Prothonotary of
Reading County, (ii) delivery to CoreStates of the manually executed counterpart
of the Aircraft Lease, which Aircraft Lease is legended as "Counterpart No. 1"
or " "Original," and (iii) the filing of this Agreement with the FAA, all of
which filings and deliveries have been properly made. The continued possession
of CoreStates of the Aircraft Lease may, under certain circumstances, be
required to maintain CoreStates' first priority security interest therein.

         (b) Trustee will, at Trustee's own expense, do everything reasonably
necessary or expedient, as determined and explicitly directed by CoreStates, to
preserve, perfect and maintain, or cause to be preserved, perfected and
maintained, in favor of CoreStates a perfected security interest prior to all
other security interests in the Collateral as against Trustee and in the
Aircraft as against the Lessee and any subsequent transferee thereof, including,
without limitation, (i) causing all filings and doing all acts and things which
CoreStates may require to preserve its security interest in the Collateral in
the territory in which the Lessee may operate the Aircraft, in the territory in
which the Aircraft is registered and in the jurisdiction where the principal
offices of

                                       4
<PAGE>   32
Trustee are located, including, without limitation, as may be required by the
Code or the law of any other applicable jurisdiction or as reasonably directed
by CoreStates in order to preserve and protect the rights of CoreStates
hereunder, and (ii) doing or causing to be done any and all acts and things
which may be required under the terms of any other agreement, or by any
practice, custom or understanding involving any state in which the Lessee may
operate, whether or not such agreement, practice, custom or understanding is
currently in force or effect, as may be necessary or as CoreStates may
reasonably request, to perfect and preserve its security interest in the
Collateral within the jurisdiction of any such state.

         2.4 Further Assurance. Trustee will, upon written direction from
CoreStates and at Trustee's own expense, do such other and further acts,
execute, acknowledge and deliver all deeds, conveyances, transfers and
assurances reasonably necessary or proper for the better assuring, conveying,
assigning and perfecting CoreStates' interest in and confirming unto CoreStates
all of the Collateral. Trustee acknowledges that CoreStates may assign, upon
thirty (30) days prior notice to Trustee, its interest in the Collateral, this
Agreement or portions thereof provided such assignee assumes all of CoreStates'
obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note and any related
instrument and agrees to comply with the provisions hereof and thereof. On
request by CoreStates, Trustee shall execute all documents that CoreStates may
reasonably require to confirm Trustee's obligations hereunder or the interest of
CoreStates in the Collateral. Notwithstanding this Agreement, Trustee will
perform all obligations of lessor under the Aircraft Lease, however, arising.

         2.5 Performance and Compliance. Trustee shall perform and comply with
each and every term of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Aircraft Lease
and the Trust Agreement and all other documents relating to the Collateral to be
performed or complied with by Trustee, and shall exercise its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Lessee, as lessee under the Aircraft Lease, to perform and
comply with each and every term of the Aircraft Lease.

         2.6 Actions Under or With Respect to the Aircraft Lease and the Trust
Agreement. Trustee will not, without the prior written consent of CoreStates:

any rental or other payment under the Aircraft Lease or extend any time for
payment under the Aircraft Lease or grant any waiver or consent under the
Aircraft Lease; provided, however, that so long as no Event or Default has
occurred and is continuing, Trustee shall be entitled to receive all payments
under the

                                       5

Aircraft Lease other than any prepayments of Basic Rent or, with respect to a
Subsequent Lease, its equivalent, except to the extent that such prepayment
represents the next required payment of Basic Rent or its equivalent and such
prepayment is not made prior to the required payment date which immediately
precedes the required payment date that such prepayment would otherwise be due,
or payments made in connection with the loss, damage, destruction or sale of the
Aircraft, which loss, damage, destruction or sale payments shall include without
limitation, any insurance proceeds, sale proceeds or payments representing
stipulated loss value or termination value; or

         (c) Terminate prior to the scheduled termination date, amend, modify or
permit any termination, amendment or modification of, the Aircraft Lease, or the

         (c) Trustee shall promptly, after an officer of its corporate trust
         department shall have obtained actual knowledge thereof, notify
         CoreStates in writing of any filing by or against the Lessee of a
         petition under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. section 101 et seq,
         setting forth any information available to Trustee with respect to the

                  and is

<PAGE>   39
                  subject to a first mortgage in favor of CoreStates Bank, N.A,
                  1500 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102."

         3. Rights of CoreStates. Trustee hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints CoreStates and any officer, employee or agent thereof, with full power
of substitution, as their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of Trustee or in its own name, from
time to time in CoreStates's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of this Agreement to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Trustee hereby gives CoreStates the power and
right, on behalf of Trustee, without assent by Trustee to do the following: (i)
to endorse any loss payment or returned premium check and to make, settle, and
release any claim under any insurance policy with respect to the Collateral,
(ii) to file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of
law or equity for the purpose of collecting any and all monies due under any
Collateral; (iii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies,
claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or
arising out of any Collateral; and (iv) without notice to Trustee, upon the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default under the terms of this
Agreement (A) to apply each payment in respect of the Collateral in payment or
satisfaction of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured; (B) to commence and prosecute
any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction, to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any
other right in respect to the Collateral; (C) to settle, compromise or adjust

give such discharges or releases as CoreStates may deem appropriate; and (D)
generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
CoreStates were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
CoreStates's option, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things
which CoreStates deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and CoreStates's security interest therein in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Trustee might do;
provided, however, that CoreStates shall not be permitted to take such actions
set forth in clauses (i) - (iii) above unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and CoreStates has given Trustee thirty (30) days' prior
written notice (unless, in CoreStates' sole discretion, circumstances require
CoreStates to act immediately without such notice to preserve its security
interest). Trustee hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled
with an interest, shall be irrevocable and shall terminate only upon payment in
full of the Indebtedness

                                       12
<PAGE>   40
Hereby Secured. The powers conferred on CoreStates hereunder are solely to
protect CoreStates's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise such powers. CoreStates shall be accountable only for
amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith
(any action taken in reliance on the advice of Counsel shall be deemed an action
taken or omitted to be taken in good faith) except only for its own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct, and the foregoing shall not operate to release
CoreStates from any liability arising out of the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in disposing
of any of the Collateral.

         4. Possession and Use of Aircraft. Unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing hereunder, Trustee shall be permitted to remain in
full possession, enjoyment and control of the Aircraft and to manage, operate
and use the same and each part thereof with the rights and franchises
appertaining thereto; provided, always, that the possession, enjoyment, control
and use of the Aircraft shall at all times be subject to the observance and
performance of the terms of this Agreement. It is expressly understood that the
use and possession of the Aircraft by the Lessee under and subject to the
Aircraft Lease or a Lessee under and subject to a Subsequent Lease shall not
constitute a violation of this Section 4. CoreStates agrees that so long as no
default under the Aircraft Lease or a Subsequent Lease has occurred and is
continuing, the Lessee or the lessee under the Subsequent Lease, as the case may
be, shall quietly possess, use and enjoy the Aircraft and the rents, revenues,
profits and income therefrom without hindrance or interruption by CoreStates or
by any other person lawfully claiming under or through CoreStates.

         5. Defaults and Other Provisions.

                  5.1 Event of Default. The term "Event of Default" for the
purpose hereof shall mean:

                  (a) An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any
         Financing Document;

                  (b) Failure to maintain any of the insurance required to be
         maintained hereunder;

                  (c) Any representation or warranty made by Trustee in this
         Agreement or any other agreement or document executed and delivered in
         connection herewith and therewith or any certificate or report
         furnished by Trustee under this Agreement or in any writing furnished
         by Trustee to CoreStates in connection with the incurring of the
         Indebtedness Secured Hereby, proves to be incorrect in any material
         respect as of

                                       13
<PAGE>   41
         the date when made;

                  (d) Failure by Trustee to perform or observe any other term,
         condition or covenant of this Agreement, or any other agreement or
         document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto which shall remain
         unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
         thereof shall have been given to Trustee by CoreStates;

                  (e) A default by Trustee under the Aircraft Lease or any
         Subsequent Lease which is not cured within any cure period provided for

         which is not cured by the Lessee or Trustee within the greater of (1)
         the cure period, if any, provided for therein or (2) ninety (90) days
         following such default, or (ii) unless the Aircraft Lease is terminated
         within ninety (90) days following such default;

                  (g) Any default by the lessee under the Subsequent Lease (i)
         which is not cured by the lessee under the Subsequent Lease or Trustee
         within the greater of (1) the cure period, if any, provided for therein
         or (2) ninety (90) days following such default, or (ii) unless the
         Subsequent Lease is terminated within ninety (90) days following such
         default;

                  (h) The occurrence of an Event of Loss (as such term is
         defined in the Aircraft Lease whether or not the Aircraft Lease is then
         in full force and effect);

                  (i) Trustee shall make an assignment for the benefit of
         creditors, file a petition in bankruptcy, be adjudicated insolvent or
         bankrupt; petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of, or

         reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or
         liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or
         hereafter in effect; or an order is made that it be wound up or that a
         liquidator or similar officer is appointed in respect of it or it
         resolves to wind itself up or otherwise dissolve itself or gives notice
         of its intention to do so, except to reconstruct or amalgamate on
         terms approved by CoreStates or there shall have been filed any such
         petition or application, or any such proceeding shall have been
         commenced against it, which remains undismissed for a period of sixty
         (60) days or more; or Trustee by any act or omission shall indicate its
         consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such petition,
         application or proceeding or the appointment of a custodian, receiver,
         manager, statutory manager or any

                                       14
<PAGE>   42
                  trustee for it or any substantial part of its assets; or
                  Trustee shall suffer any custodianship, receivership,
                  statutory management or trusteeship to continue undischarged
                  for a period of sixty (60) days or more; or

                  (2) Trustee shall "generally not pay its debts as such debts
         become due," as such term is used under the Federal bankruptcy statute
         and the same shall not be cured within sixty (60) days; or

                  (3) Trustee shall have concealed, removed, or permitted to be
         concealed or removed, any part of its property, with intent to
         hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or any of them, or made or
         suffered a transfer of any of its property which may be fraudulent
         under any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, or, while
         insolvent, shall have made any transfer of its property to or for the
         benefit of a creditor to obtain a lien upon any of its property through
         legal proceedings or distraint which is not vacated within sixty (60)
         days from the date thereof;

                  (j) The Aircraft Lease or Subsequent Lease was not duly
         authorized and executed by the Lessee or the lessee under the
         Subsequent Lease, as the case may be, or is not valid and enforceable
         against the Lessee or the lessee under the Subsequent Lease, as the
         case may be, in accordance with its terms; or

                  (k) Attachments or other liens except for the security
         interests created in favor of CoreStates or as otherwise permitted
         hereunder, shall be issued or entered against the Collateral and the
         same shall not be released and terminated within sixty (60) days

         5.2 Occurrence of Event of Default. In the event that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, CoreStates shall have the rights,
options and remedies of a secured party and Trustee shall have the rights,
options and duties of a debtor under the Code regardless of whether the Code or
law similar thereto has been enacted in the jurisdiction wherein the rights or
remedies are asserted, and without limiting the foregoing, CoreStates may
exercise any one or more or all, and in any order, of the remedies, set forth in
the Aircraft Lease or the Subsequent Lease. In addition, in such event Trustee
shall take all such action with respect to the Aircraft permitted under the
Aircraft Lease or the Subsequent Lease as CoreStates may from time to time in
writing direct.

         5.3 Sale of Collateral. Any sale of the Collateral by CoreStates
whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial
proceedings shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand whatsoever, either at law or in

                                       15
<PAGE>   43
equity, of Trustee in and to the Collateral sold and shall be a perpetual bar,
both at law and in equity, against Trustee, its successors and assigns, and
against any and all persons claiming the property sold or any part thereof
under, by or through Trustee, its successors or assigns (subject, however, to
the then existing rights, if any, of the Lessee under the Aircraft Lease or any
lessee under a Subsequent Lease).

         5.4 Application of Payments or Proceeds of Sale or Loss. Subject to the
provisions of Section 11(c) of the Lease any Payments or the proceeds of sale or
loss of the Collateral or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of
any remedy hereunder shall be paid to and applied as follows:

                  (a) To pay the interest then accrued on the Loans and
         Prepayment Amounts, if any;

                  (b) To the payment of costs, fees, expenses and indemnities
         (including, without limitation, expenses of foreclosure or suit, if
         any, and of any sale, and the compensation of the agents, attorneys and
         counsel of CoreStates and of all expenses, liabilities and advances
         incurred or made hereunder by CoreStates, or the holder of holders of
         the Note), and of all taxes, assessments or liens relating to this
         Agreement and the Collateral, except any taxes, assessments or other
         superior lien subject to which said sale may have been made;

                  (c) To repay the then outstanding principal amount of the
         Loans;

                  (d) To the payment of any other Indebtedness Hereby Secured;
         and

                  (e) The balance to Trustee or such other party as may be
         entitled there to.

         5.5 No Waiver. No delay or omission of CoreStates, its successors or
assignees, or of any holder of the Note, to exercise any right or power arising
from any Event of Default on the part of Trustee or shall exhaust or impair any
such right or power or prevent its exercise during the continuance of such
default. No waiver by CoreStates of any right hereunder shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of CoreStates.
No waiver by CoreStates or any holder or holders of the Note of any such Event
of Default, whether such waiver be full or partial, shall extend to or be taken
to affect any subsequent Event of Default, or to impair the rights resulting
therefrom, except as may be otherwise provided herein. Each and every right,
power and remedy herein granted to CoreStates shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy herein granted or now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute.

         6. Recourse. Except as specifically set forth herein it is expressly

expressly provided herein or in the Lease or the Trust Agreement, Meridian Trust
Company (or any successor owner trustee) shall not be personally liable for or
on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or
obligations of Trustee hereunder all such liability, if any, being expressly
waived by CoreStates, who shall look only to the Trust Estate (as defined in the
Trust Agreement) for payment or satisfaction. The Indebtedness Hereby Secured is
without recourse to Trustee or the Meridian Trust Company and any obligation of
Trustee to CoreStates or any holder of the Note shall be payable only from the
Collateral and the proceeds thereof and the indemnification obligations of
Trustee set forth in section 7.7(b) here hereof.

party; and all the covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement
contained by or on behalf of Trustee or by or on behalf of CoreStates shall bind
and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of such
parties whether so expressed or not.

                  7.2 Release. CoreStates shall release this Agreement and the
lien hereof by proper instrument or instruments at such time as all Indebtedness
Hereby Secured has been fully paid or satisfied.

                  7.3 Notices. Notice to any party required to be given at any
time in connection with this Agreement or the pursuit of any of CoreStates's
remedies shall be in writing and shall be reasonably and properly given if

business day following that on which the piece of mail containing such notice is
posted and (iii) in the case of delivery by a reputable air courier, on the next

between Pegasus and CoreStates, the loans thereunder to be evidenced by a
Promissory Note, dated as of April 22, 1994, made by Pegasus in favor of
CoreStates (the "Note").

                  C. It is a condition precedent to CoreStates entering into the
Loan Agreement that Pegasus collaterally assign, as security for its obligation
to pay all amounts and other sums at any time due and owing from or required to
be paid by Pegasus under the terms of the Loan Agreement to or for the benefit
of CoreStates (the "Obligations"), its interest in the TWA Trust Agreement to
CoreStates.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce CoreStates to enter into
the Loan Agreement and in consideration therefor, and in consideration of the
mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                  1. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used
herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

                  2. As collateral for all of the Obligations, Pegasus hereby
bargains, sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to the CoreStates all of
Pegasus's rights, title and interest in, to and under:

                  The Trust (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement),
together with all estates and interests therein and thereto, and all rights,
powers and privileges thereunder or in respect thereof, and any and all payments
thereunder or in respect thereof to which Pegasus may become entitled (the "TWA
Trust Collateral").

                  3. Pegasus hereby represents and warrants as follows:
<PAGE>   51

force and effect;

                  b. Pegasus's right, title and interest in, to and under the
TWA Trust Agreement and the TWA Trust Collateral constitute 100% of the
beneficial interest in the estate of the TWA Trust;

                  c. Neither Pegasus nor anyone acting on its behalf has
directly or indirectly offered an interest in the the TWA Trust Collateral for
sale to, or solicited any offer to acquire the same from, any person which offer
or solicitation would subject the same to registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or any other
Federal or State securities laws;

                  d. Except for security interests held by CoreStates in the TWA
Trust Collateral, the TWA Trust Collateral is free and clear of all liens,
security interests, claims, charges and other encumbrances, except those created
hereunder;

                  e. No action, including any filing or recording of any
document, is necessary in order to afford protection to CoreStates under
applicable law in connection with the creation or enforcement of its security
interest hereunder or to perfect CoreStates' security interest granted hereunder
as a perfected first priority security interest in the TWA Trust Collateral and
the proceeds thereof, other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code") financing statements with the Secretary of State of California and New
Jersey; and

                  f. The principal place of business and chief executive office
of Pegasus is located at Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 3540, San Francisco,
California 94111 and 1200 Harbor Blvd. 5th Flr., Weehawken, NJ 07086

                  4. Pegasus hereby covenants that so long as the Obligations
shall be outstanding and unpaid, in whole or in part, Pegasus will not:

                  a. Sell, convey or otherwise dispose of the TWA Trust
Collateral, or any portion thereof, nor will Pegasus create, incur or permit to
exist any pledge, mortgage, lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest
whatsoever with respect to any of the TWA Trust Collateral, or the proceeds
thereof other than that created hereby; or

                  b. Terminate, amend, or modify the TWA Trust Agreement or any
Financing Document without the prior written consent of CoreStates; or

                  c. Change its principal place of business or chief executive
office on less than 15 days prior written notice to CoreStates.

                  5. Pegasus shall defend CoreStates's right, title, special
property and security interest in and to the Trust Collateral against the claims
of any person, firm, corporation or other entity.

                  6. Pegasus shall execute and deliver all such documents,

                                       2
<PAGE>   52
instruments and agreements and take all such action as CoreStates may request to
effectuate this Collateral Assignment.

                  7. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement, Pegasus does hereby constitute and appoint CoreStates as its true and
lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of Pegasus or in
the name of CoreStates, at the expense of Pegasus but for the benefit of
CoreStates, to collect, assert or enforce any claims, right or title of any kind
in or to the TWA Trust Collateral, to institute and prosecute all actions, suits
and proceedings which CoreStates deems proper in order to collect, assert or
enforce any such claim, right or title, to defend and compromise all actions,
suits and proceedings in respect of any of the TWA Trust Collateral, and to do
all such acts and things in relation thereto as CoreStates shall deem advisable
and to take all action which CoreStates may deem proper in order to provide for
CoreStates the benefits of or under any of the TWA Trust Collateral where any
required consent of a third party to the assignment therefore to CoreStates
shall not have been obtained, provided, that CoreStates shall be required, at
all times, to act in good faith and shall be subject to Lessee's rights of quiet
enjoyment of the Aircraft as provided in Section 4C of the TWA Lease. Pegasus
acknowledges that such powers as are granted to CoreStates hereunder are coupled
with an interest and shall not be revocable by Pegasus in any manner or for any
reason, including, without limitation, the liquidation or dissolution of Pegasus
and that CoreStates shall be entitled to retain for its own account any amounts
collected pursuant to such powers, including, without limitation, any amounts
payable as interest in respect thereof. CoreStates shall have full and
unqualified authority to delegate any or all of the foregoing powers to any
officers, agents or representatives of CoreStates whom CoreStates shall select.

         8. This Collateral Assignment may be signed in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if the signature thereto and hereto were
upon the same instrument.

         9. This Collateral Assignment shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard
to principles of conflict of laws.

Trans World Airlines, Inc.
Attention:  Mr. Michael J. Lichty
515 North Sixth Street
St. Louis, MO  63101


Dear Sirs:

         Reference is made to that certain Lease (the "Lease"), dated March 20,
1983, as supplemented by Lease Supplement No. 1 and as amended by an Amendment
Agreement dated as of December 15, 1996, Amendments No. 1 dated May 1, 1991,
Amendment No. 2 dated April 15, 1993 and Amendment No. 3 dated as of January 16,
1995, between Meridian Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely
as owner trustee ("Trustee") pursuant to that certain Trust Agreement, dated
March 31, 1988, between Trustee and Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("Lessee") (the
"Lease"), relating to one (1) McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-82 Aircraft bearing
Manufacturer's Serial Number 49156 and FAA Registration Number N904TW (the
"Airframe") and two (2) Pratt & Whitney Model JT8D-217A Aircraft engines with
manufacturer's Serial Numbers P709716D and P709717D, respectively (the
"Engines") the Airframe and the Engines are collectively referred to herein as
the "Aircraft"). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.

         In order to secure the repayment and the performance of certain
obligations in connection with that certain Restated and Amended Loan Agreement
(the "Loan Agreement"), between Pegasus and CoreStates Bank, N.A.
("CoreStates"), Pegasus is entering into that certain Assignment of Collateral,
with CoreStates (the "Collateral Assignment"), dated as of the date hereof,
pursuant to which Pegasus is making a collateral assignment to CoreStates of its
interests in, among other things, the Aircraft and the Lease.

         1. By its execution of a counterpart of this letter, Lessee hereby
confirms, represents, warrants and covenants to CoreStates that:

                  (i) The Lease is in full force and effect and is a legal,
valid and binding obligation of Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms;
and all of the representations, warranties and covenants of Lessee under the
Lease were true and correct on the date made;

                  (ii) All amounts of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent due and
payable by Lessee under the Lease prior to the date hereof, if any, have been
<PAGE>   55
paid in full, and no amounts of rent due and payable under the Lease after the
date hereof have been prepaid, in whole or in part;

                  (iii) Except as expressly set forth in the Lease it shall
remain obligated under the Lease during the entire term thereof and that it will
not, without the prior written consent of CoreStates which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, amend, modify or terminate the Lease or assign its rights
under the Lease or enter into an agreement to do so, and that any attempted
amendment, modification or termination (other than a termination pursuant to
Section 9 of the Lease) without such consent shall be void;

                  (iv) To Lessee's knowledge, after having made due inquiry, no
default under the Lease has occurred and is continuing;

                  (v) Lessee has no claim against Trustee or Pegasus by reason
of the condition of the Aircraft as of the date of Delivery or arising
subsequent thereto;

                  (vi) No Event of Loss has occurred with respect to the
Aircraft.

         2. Lessee hereby acknowledges and consents to the collateral assignment
of the Lease and any and all right, title and interest in the Lease from Pegasus
to CoreStates pursuant to the Collateral Assignment. Such acknowledgement and
consent shall not be deemed to make Lessee a party to such agreements and Lessee
will not be obligated under such agreements except to the extent it is obligated
under the Lease and hereunder.

         3. Trustee hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes Lessee, unless
and until Lessee receives written instructions to the contrary signed by an
authorized officer of CoreStates, to name Corestates as loss payee in lieu of
Trustee and to name CoreStates as additional insured in addition to Trustee and
the Lessee in respect to the insurance referred to in Section 11 of the Lease to
the same extent as Trustee is entitled to be so named pursuant to such Section.
In addition, such insurance shall provide that the insurer shall notify
CoreStates of a cancellation or material change in such coverage at least thirty
(30) days prior to such cancellation or change.

         4. Trustee and Pegasus hereby irrevocably notify Lessee that, unless
and until Lessee receives written instructions to the contrary signed by an
authorized officer of CoreStates, all payments under the Lease otherwise payable
to Trustee pursuant to the Lease shall be paid to CoreStates to the following
account; provided, however, that so long as CoreStates shall not have notified
Lessee that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the
Security Agreement Trustee shall be entitled to receive and the Lessee shall be
entitled to pay to Trustee all payments under the Lease other than payments made
in connection with the loss, damage, destruction or sale of the Aircraft, which
loss, damage, destruction or sale payments shall include without limitation any
insurance proceeds, sale proceeds or payments representing stipulated loss
value, termination value and any prepayment of Basic Rent.

continuing, CoreStates agrees that Lessee shall quietly possess, use and enjoy
the Aircraft without hindrance or interruption by CoreStates or by any other
person lawfully claiming under or through CoreStates.

         6. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced between the parties
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto on separate
counterparts but all counterparts shall together constitute a single instrument.
