DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE:NONE
PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
JetFleet(TM) Aircraft, L.P. ("JetFleet(TM)") is a California
limited partnership formed on February 16, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring, on
an all cash basis, commercial aircraft which are already in service pursuant to
triple net leases with commercial airlines (whether foreign or domestic). The
general partners of JetFleet(TM) are CMA Capital Group (the "Corporate General
Partner") and its founding principals, Neal D. Crispin and Richard D. Koehler
(the "Individual General Partners"). The Corporate General Partner is
responsible for selecting and marketing JetFleet's(TM) aircraft. Security
Pacific Leasing Corporation, which merged in 1992 into BankAmerica Leasing &
Capital Group ("BankAmerica"), has performed services for JetFleet(TM), on a
best efforts basis, in connection with the acquisition and marketing of aircraft
by JetFleet(TM), under the direction of the Corporate General Partner. Also,
under an agreement with JetFleet(TM) Management Corp. ("JMC"), a California
corporation formed in January 1994 and an affiliate of the Corporate General
Partner, the Corporate General Partner has authorized JMC to perform remarketing
duties on behalf of JetFleet(TM).
JetFleet's(TM) principal objectives are: (i) to generate
substantial cash from operations and to distribute all cash in excess of the
amount required for operating expenses and cash reserves; (ii) to preserve and
protect the value of JetFleet's(TM) assets and reduce business risks through
all-cash purchases of aircraft; and (iii) to maximize returns from the ultimate
sale of the aircraft at the highest available price.
From June 1989 to June 1991 JetFleet(TM) offered units of
limited partner interests ("Units") pursuant to a prospectus filed under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Prospectus").
During 1989 and 1990, JetFleet(TM) raised $7,200,250 from the
sale of 144,005 Units to 549 Unitholders and purchased a Boeing 727-231, serial
number 19559 ("Boeing 727") on lease to Trans World Airlines ("TWA").
From January 1991 to June 1991, JetFleet(TM) raised $7,603,200
from the sale of 152,064 Units to 658 Unitholders. Most of these proceeds were
used to purchase from Aviation Enterprises 1988, Inc. ("AEI 1988") a 99.90%
undivided interest in a deHavilland DHC-7-102 aircraft, serial number 57 ("S/N
57") which, at the time of purchase, was on lease to Johnson Controls World
Services, Inc. ("JCWS") pursuant to a contract with the United States Army. The
contract with the United States Army was recently awarded to Range Systems
Engineering, a subsidiary of Raytheon Service Company ("Raytheon"). AEI 1988
retained the remaining .10% undivided interest. During 1992, an affiliate of the
seller, Aviation Enterprises, Inc. ("AEI") purchased an additional undivided
interest of 4.00% in S/N 57 for $196,800, the same price for which it was
originally sold to JetFleet(TM). JetFleet(TM) recognized a gain of $15,488 in
connection with this transaction. On April 30, 1992, JetFleet(TM) Aircraft II,
L.P., a California limited partnership affiliated with JetFleet(TM) which, like
JetFleet(TM), was formed to purchase interests in a portfolio of aircraft and
aircraft engines ("JetFleet II(TM)"), purchased a 4.00% undivided interest in
S/N 57 from AEI for $196,800, the same price for which it was originally sold to
JetFleet(TM).
<PAGE>
The remaining proceeds raised in JetFleet's(TM) offering of
Units were used in November 1991 to purchase a 24.37% undivided interest in a
deHavilland DHC-7-103 aircraft, serial number 72 ("S/N 72") which, at the time
of purchase, was on lease pursuant to the same United States Army contract that
applies to S/N 57. JetFleet(TM) purchased its undivided interest from Capital
Management Associates ("CMA"), a corporation owned by one of the Individual
General Partners of JetFleet(TM). CMA had purchased S/N 72 from AEI 1988 using a
combination of bank, seller and other financing. During 1991 and 1992, CMA sold
an incremental 75.53% of the aircraft to JetFleet II(TM). AEI purchased the
remaining .10% undivided interest pursuant to a purchase option.
On April 18, 1994, JetFleet(TM) sold the Boeing 727 for
$445,000, before remarketing fees, to Amtec Jet, Inc., incurring a loss of
$219,885. On December 16, 1994, JetFleet(TM) purchased a 50.00% undivided
interest in a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32, serial 47236 ("DC-9") for $400,000.
JetFleet II(TM) purchased the remaining 50.00% interest at the same time. The
DC-9 was leased back to the seller, Interglobal, Inc., under a capital lease.
Aircraft
As indicated below, approximately 71% of JetFleet's(TM)
portfolio of Aircraft (based on purchase price) is subject to an operating lease
with Raytheon pursuant to a contract with the United States Army; approximately
6% is subject to a capital lease with Interglobal, Inc. pursuant to a sub-lease
with Aero California S.A. de CV; and the remainder of the portfolio is subject
to an operating lease with Air Tindi. Due to FAA regulations, the Boeing 727,
S/N 57 and S/N 72 were purchased in the name of a trust, the sole beneficial
interest of which is owned by JetFleet(TM).
Boeing 727
In 1989 and 1990, JetFleet(TM) purchased the Boeing 727-231
(Registration Number N12302), equipped with three Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A
engines, for a purchase price of $6,090,000. Acquisition and legal fees were
capitalized to bring the total investment in the Boeing 727 to $6,185,408. In
1991, JetFleet(TM) recorded a provision for impairment in value of $3,740,434 to
reduce the recorded value at December 31, 1991 to $1,500,000.
At the time the Boeing 727 was purchased, it was under an
initial lease (the "Initial Lease") to Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA")
through January 1994. In two amendments to the Initial Lease in March 1991 and
March 1992, JetFleet(TM) agreed to lower monthly rental amounts while
maintaining the lease expiration date at January 31, 1994. A third amendment
provided for rent based on hourly usage and extended the lease expiration date
to April 11, 1994.
On April 18, 1994, JetFleet(TM)sold the Boeing 727 for
$445,000 to Amtec Jet, Inc., incurring a loss of $219,885.
<PAGE>
S/N 57 and S/N 72 (collectively, the "Dash-7s")
As indicated above, JetFleet(TM) has purchased undivided
interests of 95.90% and 24.37% in S/N 57 and S/N 72, respectively, for a total
purchase price of $4,989,693, including acquisition costs of $74,613 and
$1,558,320, including acquisition costs of $28,820, respectively. During 1993, a
collision-avoidance radar system ("TCAS") was installed on S/N 72 in order to
comply with FAA regulations regarding commercial airline operations. In
connection with the TCAS installation, JetFleet(TM) paid and capitalized $35,211
which represents its pro rata share of the cost.
The Dash-7s are each powered by four Pratt & Whitney Stage 3
PT6A-50 turboprop engines. They are known for reliability, maneuverability and
versatility, featuring quiet, low vibration turboprop engines, which meet Stage
3 noise requirements. These aircraft are S.T.O.L. aircraft designed for short
take-offs and landings. In addition, S/N 72, built in 1982, has been fitted with
a cargo door and a removable cargo floor, enabling it to carry cargo or up to 54
passengers. S/N 57, built in 1980, is a passenger-only aircraft, carrying up to
54 passengers.
At the time of purchase, the Dash-7s were subject to lease
agreements with JCWS as lessee and AEI as lessor. Johnson Controls, Inc., the
parent corporation of JCWS, guaranteed the obligations of JCWS under the leases.
In connection with the purchase of the Dash-7s, AEI assigned its rights as
lessor to JetFleet(TM).
JetFleet(TM) agreed to pay AEI compensation equal to 4% of
JetFleet's(TM) proportionate monthly lease revenues on the Dash-7s, 4% of
JetFleet's(TM) proportionate gross sale or insurance proceeds of the Dash-7s
during the first eight years after commencement of each of the initial leases of
the Dash-7s, and 3% of any proceeds of re-lease, renewal, sale or insurance
recovery thereafter. In return, AEI agreed to provide remarketing and certain
other services in connection with the lease, re-lease and resale of the Dash-7s.
S/N 57
Through February 15, 1995, the lease for S/N 57 was tied to a
contract between the United States Army and JCWS under which JCWS provided the
aircraft to the U.S. Army for use in the Marshall Islands at the site of the
Army's deep space research center where missile guidance systems are tested. A
new contract with the United States Army commenced on February 15, 1995 for a
term of two years with three two-year renewal options. The contract was awarded
to Range Systems Engineering, a subsidiary of Raytheon Service Company
("Raytheon"). During 1995 the lease was extended through September 30, 1996.
During 1996 the lease was extended, at reduced rent, through September 30, 1998.
The S/N 57 lease is a triple net lease (in that the lessee is
required to pay for maintenance, repair and operations, as well as insurance and
taxes), except that costs of complying with FAA airworthiness directives and
manufacturer directives in excess of $500 for any modification are to be borne
by AEI, but may be recoverable by AEI from the proceeds of the resale of the
Dash-7s under certain circumstances.
<PAGE>
Raytheon has placed S/N 57 in its Inspection and Repair as
Necessary ("IRAN") program. The IRAN program was established as an interim
inspection. The program includes corrosion evaluation, structural inspections,
equalized maintenance and interior refurbishment. Raytheon spent an estimated
$1,100,000 on the IRAN check for S/N 57.
Raytheon has the right to purchase S/N 57 at any time during
the term of the lease for a purchase price that declines over time. The price
for 95.90% of S/N 57 would be $3,605,840 if it were purchased by Raytheon on
September 30, 1998, the end of the current lease term. The Corporate General
Partner does not anticipate that the purchase option will be exercised and that
the lease will continue for as long as the underlying government contract
continues, although there is no contractual requirement to this effect.
S/N 72
In April 1993, JetFleet(TM) was notified that JCWS would not
renew the lease of S/N 72. As a result of negotiations, JetFleet(TM), JetFleet
II(TM) and AEI (collectively, the "Co-Owners") agreed to terminate the initial
lease on S/N 72 as of June 25, 1993, after the airplane had been fully inspected
to confirm that it had been returned in the condition required under the lease.
AEI was obligated for up to six months of rental payments for
the early termination of S/N 72, net of rent payments and economic adjustments
received during the period. JCWS agreed to pay an economic adjustment totaling
$242,893 to the Co-Owners of S/N 72. This payment was based upon the difference
between the condition of certain aircraft components at the time of S/N 72's
delivery to JCWS and the time of its return to the Co-Owners. JetFleet(TM)
received $12,376 from JCWS' payment of the economic adjustment, as well as
$9,243 of additional rent from AEI. JCWS paid the economic adjustment during
February 1994; AEI's obligation was fulfilled in January 1994.
On August 13, 1993, S/N 72 was re-leased to Eclipse Airlines,
Inc. ("Eclipse"), an affiliate of AEI. The lease (the "Eclipse Lease") was a
triple net lease with a term of one year, except that it could be canceled by
any party on 30 days' notice. The rental amount, paid monthly, was equal to $400
per hour of usage during the month.
On October 19, 1993, due to an event of default by Eclipse
under the Eclipse Lease, the Co-Owners terminated the Eclipse Lease and
repossessed the aircraft. Since Eclipse had no immediate need for S/N 72,
Eclipse and the Co-Owners agreed that the Co-Owners would enter into a
short-term lease with another party, at the expiration of which the Eclipse
lease would be reinstated. At the same time, Eclipse also paid all overdue rent
and reserve charges for the months of August, September and October. The
Co-Owners and Eclipse mutually agreed in June 1994 not to reinstate the Eclipse
Lease.
On December 22, 1993 the Co-Owners entered into a lease (the
"AGES Lease") with The AGES Group, L.P., a Limited Partnership ("AGES") for a
term not to exceed ninety days. AGES had subleased S/N 72 to Alas Chiricanas
S.A., a corporation conducting business in the Republic of Panama. The lease was
subsequently extended to September 1, 1994. JetFleet(TM) collected a total of
$78,351 in rents from AGES during the term of the lease.
Upon its return by AGES and at the direction of JetFleet(TM)
management, S/N 72 underwent certain scheduled maintenance and other repair
work. The costs incurred by JetFleet(TM) for the scheduled maintenance and other
repair work were $61,531 in excess of the maintenance costs collected from
Eclipse and AGES during the term of the lease.
S/N 72 was re-leased on March 22, 1995 to the National Airline
Commission of Papua New Guinea (trading as Air Niugini) ("Air Niugini") for a
term of six months. The lease was subsequently extended until October 31, 1995.
JetFleet(TM) collected a total of $53,060 in monthly lease payments from Air
Niugini during the term of the lease. In addition, Air Niugini paid JetFleet(TM)
its pro-rata share of maintenance costs of $31,710. Upon its return by Air
Niugini and at the direction of JetFleet(TM) management, S/N 72 again underwent
certain scheduled maintenance and other repair work.
On April 25, 1996, S/N 72 was leased to Air Tindi for a term
of thirty-six months. Air Tindi has provided a letter of credit which serves as
a security deposit under the lease. In addition, Air Tindi pays JetFleet(TM) its
pro-rata share of maintenance costs per hour of usage, which amount is to be
applied for scheduled overhauls and inspections. Air Tindi is a regional airline
headquartered in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada and provides charter
and regularly scheduled flights throughout the Northwest Territories. During
1996, JetFleet(TM) collected a total of $91,124 of rent from Air Tindi.
McDonnell Douglas DC-9
As indicated above, during 1994, JetFleet(TM) purchased a
50.00% undivided interest in a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32, serial number 47236
(the "DC-9"), for $400,000 from Interglobal, Inc. JetFleet II(TM) purchased the
remaining 50.00% interest at the same time. The DC-9 was leased back to the
seller, Interglobal, Inc. for thirty-six months at a monthly rate of $30,000
(the "DC-9 lease"), of which JetFleet(TM) is entitled to 50.00%, or $15,000. The
DC-9 is currently sub-leased to and being operated by Aero California S.A. de
CV. As part of the sale and leaseback described above, Interglobal, Inc.
assigned its rights under the sublease to Aero California S.A. de CV.
JetFleet's(TM) investment in the DC-9 is being accounted for as a capital lease.
The investment is essentially a financing in which JetFleet(TM) will recover its
investment over the term of the lease. Interglobal, Inc. has a purchase option
for a nominal amount which may be exercised upon expiration of the DC-9 lease.
In 1996, JetFleet(TM) recorded $45,417 of interest income attributable to the
DC-9 lease.
JetFleet(TM) has many competitors in the aircraft leasing
industry, including aircraft leasing partnerships, leasing companies, banks and
other financial institutions. The market is highly competitive. Most of
JetFleet's(TM) competitors have substantially greater financial and other
resources than JetFleet(TM).
<PAGE>
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
JetFleet(TM) does not own or lease any real property, plant or
materially important physical properties other than aircraft under operating as
set forth in Item 1.
JetFleet(TM) maintains its principal office at 1440 Chapin
Avenue, Suite 310, Burlingame, California, 94010. All office facilities are
provided by JMC without reimbursement by JetFleet(TM).
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
JetFleet(TM) is not involved in any legal proceedings.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of 1996.

PART II
ITEM 5: MARKET FOR JETFLEET'S(TM) UNITS AND RELATED SECURITYHOLDER MATTERS
General
JetFleet(TM) Units are not publicly traded. Currently, there
is no market for JetFleet(TM) Units, and it is unlikely that any market will
develop. There are several secondary exchanges which will purchase limited
partnership units. Secondary markets are characterized as having few buyers for
limited partnership interests and, therefore, generally are viewed as
inefficient vehicles for the sale of limited partnership units. In addition,
there are certain limitations upon the transfer of Units, as described in the
Prospectus and in JetFleet's(TM) Partnership Agreement.
Number of Security Holders
Number of holders of Units of Limited
Partner interests as of March 28, 1997: 1,045
Distributions
JetFleet(TM) investors may elect to receive distributions on
either a monthly or quarterly basis. In 1995 and 1996, $544,202 and $593,451,
respectively, or $1.84 and $2.00 per weighted average Limited Partnership Unit
outstanding, of which $1.84 and $2.00, respectively, were a return of capital,
were distributed to the Unitholders.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At the end of 1996, JetFleet(TM) had cash balances of $30,728.
This amount was held primarily for the distribution made to the Unitholders in
January 1997 and to pay accrued expenses.
During the year, JetFleet's(TM) primary sources of liquidity
were cash flows from leasing operations and capital lease payments.
JetFleet's(TM) liquidity will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash
flows from operations exceed expenses, and decreasing as distributions are made
to the Unitholders and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases.
JetFleet(TM) uses substantially all its operating cash flow to
make cash distributions to its Unitholders. Since JetFleet's(TM) leases are
triple net leases (the lessee pays operating and maintenance expenses, insurance
and taxes), JetFleet(TM) does not anticipate that it will incur significant
operating expenses in connection with ownership of its aircraft as long as they
remain on lease.
JetFleet(TM) currently has available adequate reserves to meet
is immediate cash requirements.
During 1996, JetFleet(TM) made distributions at an annualized
rate of 4%, as compared to 3% during January 1995 through April 1995 and 4%
during May 1995 through December 1995. The increase for 1996 is primarily
because of higher monthly rent received for S/N 72 during 1996 compared to the
rent received during 1995. Future distributions will depend on the amount of
lease revenue received by JetFleet(TM) for its assets.
If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it
may affect JetFleet(TM) inasmuch as the residual values and rates on re-leases
of its aircraft may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However,
JetFleet's(TM) revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such rates
are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for
inflation. At the same time, any significant inflation in the general economy
may cause an increase in professional fees and general and administrative
expense reimbursements.
If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that
JetFleet(TM) can obtain on future leases would be expected to increase as the
cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing.
Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in
interest rates.
1996 versus 1995
Cash flows from operations decreased by $9,867 primarily due
an increase of approximately $32,000 in general and administrative expenses
which was only partially offset by an increase of approximately $17,000 in cash
flows from lease-related revenues. Certain other cash expenses increased in 1996
as discussed under "Results of Operations" below. The increased cash flows from
leases resulted from the increased rent received for S/N 72 during 1996.
Cash flows from investing activities increased $15,000 in 1996
because one less month of revenue from the DC-9 financing lease was received in
1995 as compared to 1996, the result of a prepayment of rent at the lease
inception in December 1994.
In 1996, there were no financing sources of cash. Cash
distributions to Unitholders increased by $49,249, or by $0.16 per weighted
average Limited Partnership Unit outstanding. The increased distributions to
Unitholders resulted from the increased monthly rent received for S/N 72.
1995 versus 1994
Cash flows from operations decreased by $567,577 primarily due
to a decrease of approximately $408,000 in cash flows from lease-related
revenues. Certain other cash expenses increased in 1995 as discussed under
"Results of Operations" below. The decreased cash flows from leases resulted
from reduced rents on S/N 57 as well as S/N 72's off-lease periods during 1995.
Cash flows from investing activities increased approximately
$88,000 in 1995 primarily because of the capital lease for the DC-9 entered into
in December, 1994.
In 1995, there were no financing sources of cash. Cash
distributions to Unitholders decreased by $345,912, or by $1.17 per weighted
average Limited Partnership Unit outstanding. The decreased distributions to
Unitholders resulted from reduced rents on S/N 57 as well as S/N 72's off-lease
periods during 1995 which were only partially offset by the cash received as a
result of the capital lease for the DC-9.
Results of Operations
JetFleet(TM) recorded net income of $6,430 and net losses of
($559,605) and ($588,518) in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The decrease
from 1994 to 1995 was primarily a result of the decrease in rent received for
the Dash-7s along with increased depreciation expense resulting from a change in
the estimated economic life of the Dash-7s. The decrease from 1995 to 1996 was
primarily a result of an increase in general and administrative expenses and a
decrease in interest income realized from the DC-9 financing lease, which
changes were only partially offset by an increase in rental income from S/N 72
and decreased amortization and maintenance expenses.
1996 versus 1995
Rental income increased approximately $17,000. This was due to
the higher monthly rent received for S/N 72 during 1996.
There was no change in depreciation from 1995 to 1996.
There was no accrual or payment of the base management,
incentive management or re-lease fees for 1995 or 1996 as the annualized rate of
distributions in those years did not meet the Preferred Return as defined in the
Prospectus.
General and administrative expenses and professional fees
increased approximately $32,000 due to increased costs associated with the
ongoing management of JetFleet's(TM) portfolio as well as the increased costs of
administering investor-related inquiries. As mentioned above, the Corporate
General Partner has authorized JMC to perform remarketing duties on behalf of
JetFleet(TM). JMC and other third parties who perform such services receive
reimbursement for those services regardless of whether or not the base
management, incentive management or re-lease fees are paid. If base management,
incentive management or re-lease fees are payable within a given year, such fees
would be reduced to the extent that any payments are made to JMC or other third
parties performing such remarketing duties.
1995 versus 1994
Rental income decreased approximately $465,000. This was due
to reduced rents on S/N 57 beginning in October 1994 as well as receiving no
rent in 1995 as a result of the sale of the Boeing 727 in April 1994. In
addition, the payments under the DC-9 financing lease, which was acquired in
December 1994 with the sales proceeds from the sale of the Boeing 727, are
treated as a return of capital with an imputed interest component, rather than
as rental income.
Depreciation increased approximately $384,000 primarily as a
result of JetFleet(TM) reducing its estimate of the useful life of certain
aircraft.
There was no accrual or payment of the base management,
incentive management or re-lease fees for 1994 or 1995 as the annualized rate of
distributions in those years did not meet the Preferred Return as defined in the
Prospectus.
General and administrative expenses and professional fees
increased approximately $16,000 due to increased costs associated with the
ongoing management of JetFleet's(TM) portfolio as well as the increased costs of
administering investor-related inquiries. See discussion above (1996 versus
1995) regarding the treatment of remarketing costs.

JetFleet(TM) Aircraft, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
JetFleet(TM) Aircraft, L.P. ("JetFleet(TM)") is a California limited
partnership formed on February 16, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring, on a
world-wide cash basis, a portfolio of commercial aircraft which are already in
service pursuant to triple net leases. The corporate general partner of
JetFleet(TM) is CMA Capital Group ("Group"), a California corporation formed in
February 1989. The individual general partners, Neal D. Crispin and Richard D.
Koehler, are the founding principals of Group. Group is exclusively entitled to
manage and control JetFleet's(TM) business. Capital Management Associates
("CMA"), an affiliated California corporation owned by Mr. Crispin, provides
certain accounting and investor-related services for Group. JetFleet(TM)
Management Corp. ("JMC") an affiliated California corporation formed in January
1994, and owned by the individual general partners and an officer of CMA, has
been authorized to perform remarketing duties on behalf of JetFleet(TM). CKS
Securities, Incorporated, an affiliated California corporation owned by Messrs.
Crispin and Koehler, provides certain administrative and investor-related
services for Group. JetFleet(TM) owns interests in certain aircraft in which
JetFleet(TM) Aircaft II, L.P. ("JetFleet II(TM)"), an affiliated California
limited partnership, also owns interests. JetFleet(TM) has had significant
transactions with these affiliates as well as Range Systems Engineering,
Aviation Enterprises 1988, Inc. ("AEI"), Eclipse Airlines, Inc. ("Eclipse"), an
affiliate of AEI, The AGES Group, L.P., a Limited Partnership ("AGES"), National
Airline Commission of Papua New Guinea (trading as Air Niugini) ("Air Niugini")
and Air Tindi Limited ("Air Tindi").
Aircraft under operating leases and aircraft held for operating leases
The aircraft are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the aircraft.
Beginning in 1995, the estimated economic life for the purpose of calculating
depreciation of deHavilland Dash-7 aircraft was lowered from 12 to 8 years to
reflect technological change. This change had the effect of increasing
depreciation by $506,592 and increasing the net loss by $506,592, or $1.71 per
Limited Partnership Unit outstanding in 1995.
Investment in capital lease
JetFleet's(TM) investment in the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 is recorded
as an investment in a capital lease. The gross investment is recorded as lease
payments receivable while the difference between the gross investment and the
acquisition cost of the DC-9-32 is recorded as unearned interest income (see
Note 4).
Organization and offering costs
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, a non-accountable
organizational and offering expense allowance, in an amount equal to 3% of
limited partner capital contributions, was paid to Group for reimbursement of
certain organizational and offering expenses incurred in connection with the
formation and offering of units in JetFleet(TM). A portion of the allowance was
capitalized as organization costs and is being amortized using the straight-line
method over 60 months.
<PAGE>
JetFleet(TM) Aircraft, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Organization and offering costs (continued)
The remaining amount, along with sales commissions, investment banking
fees, and due diligence reimbursements, has been reflected as a direct
reduction of partners' capital contributions.
Income taxes
Income taxes are the liability of the individual partners; accordingly,
the financial statements do not include any provision for income
taxes. At December 31, 1996, assets and liabilities on a tax basis
were approximately $1.5 million lower than on a book basis due to
accelerated depreciation methods used for tax purposes.
Cash balances
As of December 31, 1996, JetFleet(TM) maintained cash balances of
$20,756 in a large open-end money fund, which is not federally insured.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Allocation of Income, Losses and Distributions
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all revenues and expenses and
income and losses are generally allocated 99% to the limited partners
and 1% to the general partners. Cash distributions from JetFleet's(TM)
operations are made 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general
partners.

Notes to Financial Statements
3. Aircraft Under Operating Leases and Aircraft Held for Operating Leases
Boeing 727-231 aircraft
In 1989 and 1990, JetFleet(TM) acquired a 100% interest in a Boeing
727-231 aircraft ("Boeing 727") for $6,090,000. Acquisition and legal fees were
capitalized to bring the total investment in the Boeing 727 to $6,185,408. In
1991, JetFleet(TM) recorded a provision for impairment in value of the Boeing
727 of $3,740,434 to reduce the recorded value at December 31, 1991 to
$1,500,000.
At the time the Boeing 727 was purchased, it was under an initial lease
(the "Initial Lease") to Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA") through January
1994. In two amendments to the Initial Lease in March 1991 and March 1992,
JetFleet(TM) agreed to lower monthly rental amounts while maintaining the lease
expiration date at January 31, 1994.
A third amendment provided for rent equal to based on hourly usage,
paid monthly, and extended the lease expiration date to April 11, 1994. TWA paid
a total of $134,820 over the term of the third amendment.
On April 18, 1994, JetFleet(TM) sold the Boeing 727 for $445,000 to
Amtec Jet, Inc., incurring a loss of $219,885.
deHavilland aircraft
In 1991, JetFleet(TM) purchased undivided interests in a deHavilland
DHC-7-102 aircraft, serial number 57 ("S/N 57"), for $4,989,693 including
acquisition costs of $74,613. As a result of these purchases, JetFleet(TM) held
a 99.9% undivided interest in S/N 57, and the seller retained the remaining .1%
undivided interest at December 31, 1991. During 1992, an affiliate of the seller
purchased an additional undivided interest of 4.0% in S/N 57 for $196,800, the
same price for which it was originally sold to JetFleet(TM). JetFleet(TM)
recognized a gain of $15,488 in connection with this transaction. On April 30,
1992, JetFleet II(TM) purchased that 4.0% undivided interest in S/N 57 for
$196,800, the same price for which it was originally sold to JetFleet(TM).

3. Aircraft Under Operating Leases and Aircraft Held for Operating Leases
(continued)
deHavilland aircraft (continued)
S/N 57 was subject to a triple net lease with Johnson Controls World
Services, Inc. ("JCWS") under an eight year contract, which commenced in 1986,
with the United States Army for use in the Marshall Islands at the site of the
Army's deep space research center where missile guidance systems are tested.
During 1994 the lease was extended, at reduced rent, through September 30, 1995.
A new contract with the United States Army commenced on February 15, 1995 for a
term of two years with three two-year renewal options. The contract was awarded
to Range Systems Engineering, a subsidiary of Raytheon Service Company
("Raytheon"). During 1995 the lease was extended through September 30, 1996.
During 1996 the lease was extended, at reduced rent, through September 30, 1998.
JetFleet(TM) purchased a 24.37% undivided interest in a deHavilland
DHC-7-103, serial number 72 ("S/N 72"), on November 15, 1991 for $1,558,320
including acquisition costs of $28,820. JetFleet(TM) purchased its undivided
interest from CMA at CMA's cost. CMA purchased a 100% undivided interest in S/N
72 on November 15, 1991, at a cost of $6,277,006, for the purpose of reselling
undivided interests to JetFleet(TM) and JetFleet II(TM). JetFleet II(TM)
purchased CMA's undivided interests, as funds were raised in the offering of
limited partnership units in JetFleet II(TM). JetFleet II(TM) and AEI own the
remaining 75.53% and 0.10% undivided interests, respectively, at December 31,
1996.
At the time the undivided interest in S/N 72 was purchased, S/N 72
was subject to the same United States Army contract as S/N 57.
Under the terms of the sales agreements for S/N's 57 and 72, AEI, the
seller of both aircraft, receives 4% of monthly lease revenues during the first
eight years of the lease in return for providing remarketing and certain other
services in connection with the lease, release and resale of the aircraft.
Upon the return of S/N 72 by JCWS, discussed below, a collision-
avoidance radar system ("TCAS") was installed on the aircraft in order to
comply with FAA regulations regarding commercial airline operations. In
connection with the TCAS installation, JetFleet(TM) paid and capitalized $35,211
which represents its pro rata share of the cost. This amount is being
depreciated over the remaining useful life of S/N 72.
In April 1993, JetFleet(TM) was notified that JCWS would not renew the
lease of one of the aircraft. As a result of subsequent negotiations,
JetFleet(TM), JetFleet II(TM) and AEI (collectively, the "Co-Owners") agreed to
terminate the initial lease on S/N 72 as of June 25, 1993, after the airplane
had been fully inspected to confirm that it had been returned in the condition
required under the lease.

deHavilland aircraft (continued)
AEI was obligated for up to six months of rental payments for the early
termination of S/N 72, net of rent payments received on S/N 72 and economic
adjustments received during the period. JCWS agreed to pay an economic
adjustment totaling $242,893 to the Co-Owners of S/N 72. This payment was based
upon the difference between the condition of certain aircraft components at the
time of S/N 72's delivery to JCWS and the time of its return to the Co-Owners.
JetFleet(TM) received $12,376 from JCWS' payment of the economic adjustment, as
well as $9,243 of additional rent from AEI. JCWS paid the economic adjustment
during February 1994; AEI's obligation was fulfilled in January 1994.
On August 13, 1993, S/N 72 was re-leased to Eclipse. The lease (the
"Eclipse Lease") was a triple net lease with a term of one year, except that it
could be canceled by any party on 30 days' notice. The rental amount, paid
monthly, was equal to $400 per hour of usage during the month.
On October 19, 1993, due to an event of default by Eclipse under the
Eclipse Lease, the Co-Owners terminated the Eclipse Lease and repossessed the
aircraft. Since Eclipse had no immediate need for S/N 72, Eclipse and the
Co-Owners agreed that the Co-Owners would enter into a short-term lease with
another party, at the expiration of which the Eclipse lease would be reinstated.
At the same time, Eclipse paid all overdue rent and reserve charges. The
Co-Owners and Eclipse mutually agreed in June 1994 not to reinstate the Eclipse
Lease.
On December 22, 1993 the Co-Owners entered into a lease (the "AGES
Lease") with AGES for a term not to exceed ninety days at a monthly rental rate
of $38,800. AGES had subleased S/N 72 to Alas Chiricanas S.A., a corporation
conducting business in the Republic of Panama. The lease was subsequently
extended until September 1, 1994. JetFleet(TM) collected a total of $78,351 in
rents from AGES during the term of the lease.

S/N 72 was re-leased on March 22, 1995 to Air Niugini for a term of six
months. The lease was subsequently extended until October 31, 1995. JetFleet(TM)
collected a total of $53,060 in monthly lease payments from Air Niugini during
the term of the lease. In addition, Air Niugini paid JetFleet(TM) its pro-rata
share of maintenance costs of $31,710. Upon its return by Air Niugini and at the
direction of JetFleet(TM) management, S/N 72 again underwent certain scheduled
maintenance and other repair work.
On April 25, 1996, S/N 72 was leased to Air Tindi for a term of
thirty-six months. Air Tindi has provided a letter of credit which serves as a
security deposit under the lease. In addition, Air Tindi pays JetFleet(TM) its
pro-rata share of maintenance costs per hour of usage, which amount is to be
applied for scheduled overhauls and inspections. Air Tindi is a regional airline
headquartered in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada and provides charter
and regularly scheduled flights throughout the Northwest Territories. During
1996, JetFleet(TM) collected a total of $104,182 of rent from Air Tindi.

time. The DC-9 was leased back to the seller, Interglobal, Inc. for thirty-six
months at a monthly rate of $30,000, of which JetFleet(TM) is entitled to
$15,000 (the "DC-9 lease"). The DC-9 is currently sub-leased to and being
operated by Aero California S.A. de CV. As part of the sale and leaseback
described above, Interglobal, Inc. assigned its rights under the sublease to
Aero California S.A. de CV. As discussed in Note 1 above, JetFleet's(TM)
investment in the DC-9 is being accounted for as a capital lease. The investment
is essentially a financing in which JetFleet(TM) will recover its investment
over the term of the lease. Interglobal, Inc. has a purchase option for a
nominal amount which may be exercised upon expiration of the DC-9 lease. In
1996, JetFleet(TM) recorded $45,417 of interest income attributable to the DC-9
lease.

5. Related Party Transactions
Group is entitled to receive base management, incentive management and
re-lease fees in any year in which the annualize rate of distributions is equal
to or greater than the Preferred Return. There was no accrual or payment of the
base management, incentive management or re-lease fees for 1994, 1995 and 1996
since the annualized rate of distributions in those years did not meet the
Preferred Return.
Group is also entitled to receive a subordinated resale fee with
respect to each Aircraft sold by JetFleet(TM). Group and BankAmerica agreed to
forego the re-lease and resale fees on the Boeing 727 aircraft for any re-leases
or sales of that aircraft subsequent to its return by TWA. Re-lease fees and
resale fees, however, were paid to a third party.
JetFleet(TM) pays for all direct, indirect, administrative and overhead
expenses incurred on its behalf by Group and its affiliates. In 1996, 1995 and
1994, $93,794, $63,826 and $53,807, respectively, was reimbursable by
JetFleet(TM) to Group or its affiliates in connection with the administration
and management of JetFleet(TM).
All of the above fees payable by JetFleet(TM) to Group were paid to
Group which in turn reimbursed CMA or its affiliates, which have incurred all
costs in connection with the organization and offering of units in, and the
administration and management of, JetFleet(TM).

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires
JetFleet's(TM) general partners and persons who own more than 10% of
JetFleet's(TM) Units, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
Units and other equity securities of JetFleet(TM). General Partners and 10%
Unitholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish JetFleet(TM) with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To JetFleet's(TM) knowledge, based solely upon a review of
Forms 3 furnished to JetFleet(TM) pursuant to Rule 16a-3(e) during 1996, no
person who, at any time during 1996, was a General Partner or beneficial owner
of more than 10% of the Units failed to file on a timely basis, as disclosed in
the above forms, reports required by Section 16(a) during 1996 or prior years.
ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
JetFleet(TM) is a limited partnership and has no employees,
officers or directors. The following is a summary of the compensation and
reimbursements paid to the General Partners and their affiliates by JetFleet(TM)
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996.
Compensation
The Corporate General Partner is entitled to receive a base
management fee, a re-lease fee, an incentive management fee and a resale fee.
All such fees are subordinated in any given year to the minimum payment of
distributions to the limited partners in an amount equal to 8% of their
outstanding capital. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, portions of
the re-lease fee, the incentive management fee and the resale fee paid to the
Corporate General Partner are re-allowed to BankAmerica. JetFleet's(TM) average
distribution rate during 1996 was 4%. Therefore, no fees were payable to the
Corporate General Partner.
The Corporate General Partner's base management fee is equal
to 1.5% of gross rentals received by JetFleet(TM) from the rental of its
aircraft (which gross rentals will be net of any re-lease fee payable to the
Corporate General Partner). No base management fees were payable in 1994, 1995
or 1996.
In the event that, after the expiration of any initial lease
on JetFleet's(TM) aircraft, the lease is renewed or the aircraft is released,
the Corporate General Partner will be entitled to receive a subordinated
re-lease fee in the amount of 3.5% of gross rentals from such renewal or release
(which re-lease fee will be reduced to the extent any release fees are paid to
independent third parties rendering services in connection with such re-lease).
Approximately 43% of any release fee paid to the Corporate General Partner will,
in turn, be paid to BankAmerica. No re-lease fees were payable in 1994, 1995 or
1996.
The Corporate General Partner is also entitled to receive a
subordinated incentive management fee in an amount equal to 2.5% of certain cash
flow and sales proceeds during the first four years after November 17, 1989, the
initial closing date (40% of the fee is payable to BankAmerica). Thereafter, the
fee is equal to 3% of cash flow and sales proceeds (33-1/3% of this 3% is
payable to BankAmerica). No incentive management fees were payable in 1994, 1995
or 1996.
As mentioned above, the Corporate General Partner has
authorized JMC to perform remarketing duties on behalf of JetFleet(TM). JMC and
other third parties who perform such services receive payment for those services
regardless of whether or not the base management, incentive management or
re-lease fees are paid. If base management, incentive management or re-lease
fees are payable within a given year, such fees would be reduced to the extent
that any payments are made to JMC or other third parties performing such
remarketing duties.
In the event of a sale of any of JetFleet's(TM) aircraft, the
Corporate General Partner is be entitled to receive a subordinated resale fee
(66-2/3% of which would be payable to BankAmerica) equal to 3% of the sales
price. This resale fee is reduced to the extent any resale fee is paid to
independent third parties rendering services in connection with such resale.
BankAmerica agreed to forego the re-lease fee and resale fee on the Boeing 727
aircraft for any re-leases or sales of that aircraft arranged by other parties
subsequent to its return by TWA. JetFleet(TM) paid a total of $22,970 in fees to
TechEquiplease, a third party re-lease and re-sale agent retained by Group, in
connection with the third lease amendment and the sale of the Boeing 727 during
1994.
The Corporate General Partner is entitled to receive 1% of
JetFleet's(TM) distributions to its partners, and is allocated, in general, 1%
of JetFleet's(TM) income and losses for federal income tax purposes. The
Corporate General Partner's share of the distributions made during 1994, 1995
and 1996 was $8,972, $5,497 and $5,994, respectively.
Reimbursement
Each General Partner or affiliate of a General Partner is
entitled to receive reimbursement from JetFleet(TM) for certain general and
administrative expenses which the General Partner or affiliate incurs on
JetFleet's(TM) behalf. No reimbursement is allowed for any rent or utilities
expenses that might be incurred by a General Partner or affiliate or for
salaries, fringe benefits, general travel expenses or similar expenses of any
officer, director or holder of 5% or more of the shares of capital stock of the
Corporate General Partner. In 1994, 1995 and 1996, $53,807, $63,826 and $93,794,
respectively, was reimbursable by JetFleet(TM) to the Corporate General Partner
or its affiliates.
ITEM 12: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
No person is known to JetFleet(TM) to be the beneficial owner
of more than 5% of the Units. Neal D.Crispin, an Individual General Partner and
President of the Corporate General Partner, and an officer of Capital Management
Associates jointly own 200 Units. No other officer or director of the Corporate
General Partner beneficially owns any Units except that Richard D. Fitzsimmons,
Aircraft Portfolio Manager of the Corporate General Partner, owns 2,400 Units.
Together the Individual General Partners own 100% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of CMA Capital Corporation which, in turn,
owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporate General
Partner.
<PAGE>
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Crispin Koehler Securities, the managing broker-dealer of the
offering of Units, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crispin Koehler Holding Corp.
Crispin Koehler Securities was formerly named CKS Securities, Incorporated, but
changed its name in connection with its sale by CMA Capital Corporation during
1996. Crispin Koehler Holding Corp., in turn, is owned 100% by the Individual
General Partners. Crispin Koehler Securities has acted as the dealer-manager
with respect to the vast majority of the prior programs sponsored by affiliates
of the General Partners.
The common stock of JetFleet(TM) Management Corp., an aircraft
management, marketing and financing company authorized to perform remarketing
duties on behalf of JetFleet(TM), is owned 100% by the Individual General
Partners and an officer of CMA.
Over the term of the offering of Units, compensation was paid
to the Corporate General Partner for non-accountable organization and offering
costs and to Crispin Koehler Securities, Incorporated for sales commissions,
investment banking and due diligence fees in accordance with the Prospectus
dated June 9, 1989.
As described in Items 1 and 2, JetFleet(TM) and JetFleet
II(TM) own undivided interests in the same aircraft (S/N 57, S/N 72 and the
DC-9). During the first half of 1992, JetFleet(TM) sold undivided interests
totaling 4.00% to an affiliate of the seller for the same price for which they
were originally sold to JetFleet(TM). JetFleet II(TM) subsequently purchased a
4.00% undivided interest in S/N 57 from the affiliate of the seller for an equal
price.
Both JetFleet(TM) and JetFleet II(TM) purchased their
undivided interests in S/N 72 from CMA (an affiliate) at CMA's cost. CMA had
purchased the interests for the purpose of resale to JetFleet(TM) and JetFleet
II(TM).
In connection with JetFleet's(TM) purchases of S/N 57 and S/N
72, JetFleet(TM) reimbursed CMA $887 and $5,877, respectively, in 1991 for costs
incurred in connection with the acquisition of S/N 57 and S/N 72. See notes 2
and 3 to the notes to JetFleet's(TM) accompanying financial statements.

Page 1 of 3
PURCHASE ORDER NO. 60987, CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 AMENDMENT
Aircraft Leases for Three (3) DHC-7 Aircraft
(MSN 11, 44 and 57) each dated September 26, 1990
as amended (the "Leases")
The Leases shall be deemed to be amended as follows:
1. Lease Term: Two years from October 1, 1996, with options to extend for
two additional two year periods at the same lease rate. The Lessee may
excercise the option by giving the Lessor not less than 60 days written
notice prior to the end of each renewal period, provided that if the
Lessee has not received notice from the U.S. Army regarding the renewal
of its contract at the Kwajalein project by such date, then the Lessee
shall give prompt written notice following the receipt of its notice
from the U.S. Army.
2. Lease Rates: Effective October 1, 1996, the monthly lease rates
become:
MSN 11-$41,000.00
MSN 44-$38,500.00
MSN 57-$38,500.00
3. Economic Adjustment: The Leases are hereby amended to clarify that the
economic adjustment set out in Exhibit "G" will apply to the list of
life limited components described in Schedule "A" attached hereto (the
"Life Limited Components"), provided that the value of the hours/cycles
consumed between delivery and return shall be credited on a component
by component basis to the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be. The
following provisions of the Leases are amended:
11.6 Airframe and Components: Notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in any other agreement to the
contrary, all Life Limited Components (other than basic
engines and landing gear assemblies) shall be returned
with not less that 1,000 hours/and or cycles, whichever is
the more limiting factor, remaining until the next
required overhaul or replacement, based on the
manufacturer's requirements for DHC-7 or its component.
11.7 Landing Gear: Notwithstanding anything contained herein or
in any other agreement to the contrary, each landing gear
assembly including all its components shall be returned
with not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the cycles
remaining until its next required replacement.
11.8 Engines: Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in
any other agreement to the contrary, each engine shall be
returned with at least 1,000 hours and cycles remaining
until its next required overhaul (based on a 5,500 hour
overhaul interval) and at least 500 hours and cycles
remaining until its next required hot section inspection
(based on a 1,500 hour HSI interval).
Page 2 of 3
11.11 Component Value Determination on Return: Upon the return
of the Aircraft, the parties shall determine the amount
due as an economic adjustment (the "Economic Adjustment")
under Exhibit "G" calculated on a component by component
basis and on an Aircraft by Aircraft basis. The labor cost
of conducting an engine overhaul and hot section
inspection shall be included in the Exhibit "G"
calculation; however, Lessee may elect to conduct a hot
section inspection and receive a corresponding credit.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out in the
Lease, including without limitation, Exhibit "G" and any
amendments to the Lease or any other agreement between the
parties, the following shall apply in determining the
Economic Adjustment:
(a) All references to half-life, 50% or one-half in
Exhibit "G" are deleted.
(b) The current cost of overhaul or replacement used
for purposes of the Exhibit "G" determination
shall be fixed at the amounts set out in
Schedule "A" for the purposes of the delivery
and the return of the Aircraft, whether at the
end of the Lease Term or any renewal term. The
parties shall, however, mutually agree upon the
then currect cost of overhaul or replacement and
so amend Schedule "A" prior to the commencement
of each renewal term.
(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that the
Lessee shall only be required to pay an Economic
Adjustment for its actual use of the Life
Limited Components between the hours/cycles at
delivery as shown in Exhibit "A" and the
hours/cycles at return. Accordingly, if the
aggregate sum of the Vi (current time value of
item) of all Life Limited Components in respect
to the aircraft upon return exceeds the
aggregate sum of the Vi (current time value of
item) upon acceptance, the Lessee shall pay the
amount of such excess to the Lessor; and
(d) If the aggregate sum of the Vi (current time
value of item) of all Life Limited Components in
respect to the Aircraft upon acceptance exceeds
the aggregate sum of the Vi (current time value
of item) upon return, the Lessee shall not be
required to pay the Lessor any Economic
Adjustment.
In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions hereof
and the provisions of the Leases, the provisions hereof shall
prevail.
4. Sample Calculation: Attached hereto as Schedule "B" is a sample
calculation of the Component Value Determinations on return.
<PAGE>
Page 3 of 3
5. Stipulated Loss Values: The Stipulated Loss Value for each Aircraft as
set out in the Leases shall be deemed to be replaced with the following:
MSN 11-$4,525,000.00
MSN 44-$3,690,000.00
MSN 57-$3,760,000.00
6. Life Remaining: All references to one-half life remaining in the Leases
are hereby deleted.
7. Governing Law: The governing law of the Leases is hereby changed from
the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
All other terms and conditions of the Leases shall continue in full force and
effect unamended.
