1.       General

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and in accordance  with  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  In the opinion of the General Partners,  all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  For further  information,
refer  to  the  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in the
Partnership's  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1998.
Operating  results for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1999 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

         New Accounting  Pronouncement:  In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133). FAS
133 is effective  for all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal years  beginning  after
June 15,  2000  (January  1, 2001 for the  Partnership).  FAS 133 relates to the
reporting of all derivative instruments, and as the Partnership has not and does
not  anticipate   dealing  in  derivatives  or  in  hedging   activities,   this
pronouncement is not expected to impact the Partnership's  earnings or financial
position.

*   This  aircraft is scheduled  to be  delivered to Kitty Hawk Air Cargo,  Inc.
    ("Kitty Hawk") during the 3rd quarter of 1999.

                                       8
<PAGE>


         Kitty Hawk  Aircargo,  Inc.  The Partnership has a lease agreement with
Kitty Hawk for the lease of the Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft formerly leased
to Continental  that was returned in October 1998. Kitty Hawk is a Dallas, Texas
based  operator of  more than 100 freighter  aircraft.   The lease  requires the
Partnership  to hushkit and convert the aircraft to a freighter  at an estimated
cost of $4.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership
invested  approximately  $3.4 million  with respect  to  the  hushkit and  cargo
conversion.  The lease  agreement  provides for 84  months  rent at $117,800 per
month.  Kitty Hawk provided an initial security deposit of $56,000 during  1998,
and  increased  the deposit  to $236,000  in  February  1999.   The  aircraft is
scheduled  to be  delivered to Kitty  Hawk during the  third quarter of  1999 at
which time lease payments will commence.  Two of the aircraft's  JT8D-9A engines
require  repairs and have been sent to a repair shop.  The Partnership will rent
two engines in the interim  period, from an  affiliate  of the  Managing General
Partner, at a rate of $21,000 per month, per engine.

         Sky Trek  International  Airlines,  Inc. Due to  arrearages in rent and
maintenance  reserve  payments,  Sky  Trek  was  placed  on  non-accrual  status
beginning  October 1, 1998.  For the period January 1 through June 30, 1999, Sky
Trek has paid  all but  $47,500  in rent and  $123,000  in  maintenance  reserve
payments.  Total  arrearages  of $475,000 with respect to rent and $353,000 with
respect to maintenance  reserves remain outstanding,  but only $190,000 has been
accrued and is included in rent and other receivables on the balance sheet.

3.       Transactions With Affiliates

         Base  Management  Fees: The General  Partners are entitled to 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.  The General Partners earned a total of $31,000
and $61,000 of base management fees during the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1999, respectively.

         Incentive  Management  Fees: The General  Partners also are entitled to
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 this
amount,  2.5% is payable to the Managing  General Partner and 2.0% is payable to
the  Administrative  General  Partner.  The General  Partners  earned a total of
$73,000 and  $146,000 of  incentive  management  fees during the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

         Re-lease Fees: The General Partners are entitled to 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 made.  Of this  amount,  2.5% is payable to the  Managing
General Partner and 1.0% is payable to the Administrative  General Partner.  The
General  Partners earned a total of $61,000 and $121,000 of re-lease fees during
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

         All of  the  above  fees  are  subordinated  to  the  limited  partners
receiving an 8% annual  non-cumulative  return based upon  original  contributed
capital.

         Accountable General and Administrative  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.  There were no reimbursable expenses,  during the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999, payable to the Administrative  General
Partner.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1999 the Partnership  paid $26,000
to a maintenance  facility that is affiliated with the Managing General Partner.
Additionally,  the  Partnership  paid  $564,000 for aircraft  parts to a company
which is owned by the President and Director of the Managing General Partner and
two of its former officers and directors.

4.       Notes Payable

         During 1999,  the  Partnership  reached an agreement with the lender to
increase the  committed  amount of the loan  facility  from $10 million to $14.5
million and increase the interest  rate from 1.25% to 1.5% over prime.  On April
20, 1999,  the  Partnership  received $2.5 million of the  increased  commitment
amount and an additional  $1.5 million was received on June 30, 1999 for a total
outstanding balance of $14.0 million. The Partnership has provided a mortgage to
the bank relative to certain  aircraft and has  guaranteed  the repayment of the
indebtedness. The Partnership has utilized the additional borrowings to fund the
hushkit and cargo  conversions  of the Boeing  727-200  advanced  aircraft to be
delivered to Kitty Hawk during the third quarter of 1999. At June 30, 1999,  the
interest  rate was 9.50%.  This loan is due in April 2000.  The  Partnership  is
searching  for a  replacement  lender and  believes it will be able to find one.
However,  if the  Partnership  were unable to  renegotiate or refinance the loan
before April 2000, it may need to reduce or suspend future distributions.

The  Partnership  undertakes no obligation to release  publicly any revisions to
these  Forward-Looking  Statements to reflect events or circumstances  after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

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

         The  Partnership  invests working capital and cash flow from operations
prior  to  its  distribution  to  the  partners  in  short-term,  highly  liquid
investments  or a fund that invests in such  instruments.  At June 30, 1999, the
Partnership's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3,232,000 was primarily
invested in such a fund. This amount was $1,103,000 more than the  Partnership's
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 of $2,129,000.  This
increase  in  unrestricted  cash was  attributable  to the  amount by which cash
generated  by  operating  activities,  proceeds  from  notes  payable,  and  the
unapplied  maintenance  reserves,  exceeded cash  distributions  to partners and
capitalized aircraft improvements, during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         TWA announced a wider than  anticipated  loss in the second  quarter of
1999. While TWA has recently announced new labor agreements and has dramatically
improved its service and upgraded its fleet,  TWA's ongoing financial losses are
of concern.  A default or  deferral of lease  payments on the part of TWA, or by
Sky Trek or any other lessee, may affect quarterly distributions.  TWA accounted
for 54% of the Partnership's lease revenue in the first six months of 1999.

         Other  assets  decreased by $9,000 from $26,000 at December 31, 1998 to
$17,000 at June 30, 1999, due to a decrease in prepaid expenses.

         Deferred rental income and deposits  increased $180,000 from $1,038,000
at  December  31, 1998 to  $1,218,000  at June 30,  1999,  due to the receipt in
February,  of an  additional  deposit  from Kitty Hawk  Aircargo,  Inc.  ("Kitty
Hawk"), as discussed in Note 2.

         Payable to affiliates increased by $177,000,  from $431,000 at December
31, 1998 to $608,000 at June 30, 1999,  due to additional  management  fees that
have been accrued but not yet paid.

         During the six months  ended June 30,  1999 the  Partnership  paid cash
distributions  pertaining  to the first  quarter of 1999 and the last quarter of
1998. The quarterly distributions  represented an annualized rate equal to 8% of
contributed  capital ($.40 per Unit).  The amount of each  distribution  will be
determined  on a  quarterly  basis  after  an  evaluation  of the  Partnership's
operating  results  and  its  current  and  expected  financial  position.   The
distribution  for the  second  quarter  of 1999  was  paid in  July,  1999 at an
annualized rate of 8% of contributed capital ($.40 per Unit).

         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 82% of
the cash distributions declared for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, constituted
a return of  capital.  Also,  based on the amount of net income  reported by the
Partnership for accounting purposes, approximately 73% of the cash distributions
paid to the partners  from  inception of the  Partnership  through June 30, 1999
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.

         During 1999,  the  Partnership  reached an agreement with the lender to
increase the  committed  amount of the loan  facility  from $10 million to $14.5
million and increase the interest  rate from 1.25% to 1.5% over prime.  On April
20, 1999,  the  Partnership  received $2.5 million of the  increased  commitment
amount and an additional  $1.5 million was received on June 30, 1999 for a total
outstanding balance of $14.0 million. The Partnership has provided a mortgage to
the bank relative to certain  aircraft and has  guaranteed  the repayment of the
indebtedness. The Partnership has utilized the additional borrowings to fund the
hushkit and cargo conversions of the Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft  delivered
to Kitty Hawk during the third quarter of 1999.  At June 30, 1999,  the interest
rate was 9.50%. This loan is due in April 2000. The Partnership is searching for
a replacement  lender and believes it will be able to find one. However,  if the
Partnership  were unable to renegotiate or refinance the loan before April 2000,
it may need to reduce or suspend future distributions.

         The  Partnership's  aircraft are subject to leases with remaining terms
of at least 12 months.

         During the six months ended June 30,  1999,  the  Partnership  invested
approximately $3,357,000 with respect to the hushkit and cargo conversion of the
Boeing 727-200 advanced aircraft to be leased to Kitty Hawk.  The conversion was
ongoing at June 30, 1999 and will require additional investment.  An  additional
$50,000 was invested with respect to other aircraft.

         The Limited Partnership  Agreement permits the Partnership to borrow up
to 35% (or  $28,000,000)  of the original  offering  proceeds for  improvements,
enhancement or maintenance of aircraft.  The  Partnership  has drawn $14 million
under its borrowing  facility and the principal  balance at June 30, 1999 is $14
million.  Any additional  borrowings  will only be made if the General  Partners
believe such borrowings will be in the best interests of the Partnership and may
enhance or protect portfolio value.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         The Partnership's net income was $583,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 (the "1999  Period") and  $293,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999
(the "1999  Quarter")  as compared to $657,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 (the "1998  Period") and $408,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998 (the
"1998 Quarter").

         The  decrease  in the  Partnership's  net  income  for the 1999  Period
resulted primarily from a decrease in rental revenue and an increase in interest
expense  relating  to  increased  borrowings  to  finance  capitalized  aircraft
improvements  made in 1998 and  1999.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by
decreases in depreciation and general and administrative  expenses, as discussed
below.

         Rental  revenue  decreased  $159,000  and  $224,000,  or  4%  and  10%,
respectively, for the 1999 Period and 1999 Quarter, due primarily to the absence
of rental revenue from the Boeing 727-200 advanced  aircraft  formerly leased to
Continental,  which was returned to the  Partnership  on October 18,  1998,  and
underwent a hushkit and cargo conversion for ultimate delivery to Kitty Hawk, as
discussed in Note 2 to the financial  statements.  Contributing  to the decrease
was a slight  decrease in rental  revenue with respect to the Sky Trek aircraft,
which was placed on non-accrual  status  beginning in the third quarter of 1998.
Partially  offsetting  the decrease was an increase in revenues  with respect to
the TNT  aircraft  (off-lease  for the  majority  of the first  half of the 1998
period).

         Interest  and other  income for the 1999 Period  increased by $4,000 or
14%, in comparison to the 1998 Period.  The increase was primarily  attributable
to the higher cash balance  maintained  during the 1999 period on which interest
was earned.

         Management  and re-lease  fees payable to the General  Partners for the
1999  Period and 1999  Quarter  decreased  $15,000 and  $22,000,  or 4% and 12%,
respectively,  in  comparison  to the 1998  Period and 1998  Quarter,  which was
attributable  to lower  rental  revenue in the 1999  Period and  Quarter,  which
serves as the basis for certain fees.

         General and administrative  expense decreased by $21,000 and $31,000 or
17% and 40%, respectively,  in the 1999 Period and the 1999 Quarter, as compared
to the 1998 Period and 1998  Quarter,  which was  primarily  due to decreases in
outside  audit and  transfer  agent  fees,  partially  offset by an  increase in
consulting fees.

         Interest  expense  increased  by $74,000 and  $52,000,  or 17% and 23%,
respectively,  in the 1999  Period and 1999  Quarter,  as  compared  to the 1998
Period and 1998 Quarter,  due to an increase in  borrowings to fund  capitalized
aircraft improvements.

         Direct  lease  expenses  decreased  by  $13,000  or 22% during the 1999
Period, due principally to a decrease in aircraft maintenance expense, partially
offset by an increase in insurance expense.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE
- -------------------------

         The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being  written
using two digits  rather than four digits to define the  applicable  year.  This
could result in a failure of the information technology systems (IT systems) and
other equipment  containing  imbedded  technology  (non-IT  systems) in the Year
2000,  causing  disruption  of  operation  of the  Partnership,  its  lessees or
vendors.

         The  Partnership  does not own its own  software,  but is reliant  upon
software  owned by the  General  Partners or third  party  vendors.  The General
Partners and third party  vendors are either  currently  Year 2000  compliant or
have instituted plans to be so.

         The plan for  addressing  third party critical  dependencies  includes:
identification of third party critical dependencies  including lessees,  vendors
and financial  institutions;  circulation to all  applicable  third parties of a
written  request for their plans and progress in addressing the Year 2000 issue;
evaluation of responses;  and development of contingency  plans to address risks
of  non-compliance   by  third  parties.   The  Partnership  has  completed  the
identification  of critical  dependencies  and the  circulation for requests for
Year 2000 compliance status.

         The costs  associated  with  addressing the Year 2000 issue,  including
developing  and  implementing  the above stated plan will be nominal and will be
expensed as incurred.

         While the Partnership expects to have no interruption of its operations
as a result of internal IT and non-IT  systems,  uncertainties  remain about the
affect of third party critical dependencies who are not Year 2000 compliant.

         The  Partnership  is not aware of any  significant  Year  2000  systems
issues with respect to the  airworthiness of aircraft,  however,  should such an
issue  result in  Airworthiness  Directives  or other  manufacturer  recommended
maintenance,   the   implementation  and  the  majority  of  the  cost  of  such
implementation would be the responsibility of the aircraft lessee. Any resulting
costs to the Partnership cannot be estimated at this time.

         Non-compliance on the part of a lessee could result in lost revenue for
the  lessee  and an  inability  to  make  lease  payments  to  the  Partnership.
Non-compliance  by the  lessee's  financial  institution  could also  affect the
ability to process lease  payments.  The  Partnership  has attempted to mitigate
such risks by  inquiring  of each lessee  about its Year 2000  plans,  including
whether they have addressed the issue with their financial institution.

         The Partnership's  lessees face the potential risk of non-compliance by
the air traffic  control  systems  throughout  the world.  A  disruption  in the
operations  of  some  or  all of the  air  traffic  control  systems  may  cause
disruption to the operations of the Partnership's  lessees,  which may adversely
affect their ability to generate revenue.

         A possible  scenario  would be that a number of  lessees  are unable to
operate and generate revenues and as a result unable to make lease payments. The
Partnership  is  unable to  estimate  the  likelihood  or the  magnitude  of the
resulting lost revenue at this time.  Should this occur,  the Partnership  would
attempt to repossess aircraft from non-compliant  lessees and place the aircraft
with compliant lessees. No assurances can be given that the Partnership would be

                                       14
<PAGE>

able to re-lease  such  aircraft at favorable  terms or at all. If a significant
number of aircraft could not be re-leased at favorable terms or at all, or their
re-lease is delayed, the Partnership's business, financial condition and results
of operations would be adversely affected.
