Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
JetFleet III (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of California
on August 23, 1994 ("Inception"). All of the Company's outstanding common
stock is owned by JetFleet Management Corp. ("JMC"), a California corporation
formed in January 1994. JMC is an integrated aircraft management, marketing
and financing business, and also manages, on behalf of their respective
general partners, the aircraft assets of JetFleet Aircraft, L.P. and JetFleet
Aircraft II, L.P. ("JetFleet II "), publicly offered limited partnership
programs with objectives similar to the Company's. The accompanying unaudited
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of the Company, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial results. The results of operations of such
periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full
year. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies and other notes to financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
2. Organization and Capitalization
The Company was formed solely for the purpose of acquiring Income
Producing Assets. The Company anticipates that these assets will be
Equipment, consisting mainly of aircraft, aircraft engines, aircraft parts or
other transportation industry equipment subject to operating or full payout
leases with third parties.
The Company received Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") clearance
on February 3, 1995 for a public offering of up to $20,000,000 in $1,000
Series A Units (the "Offering") consisting of an $850 bond maturing on March
1, 2003 and $150 of preferred stock. Because the structure of the Offering
was somewhat different than traditional bond offerings, the Company
experienced a delay in obtaining clearance from the securities divisions of
some key states. As a result, the Offering was restructured, and the Company
received SEC clearance on September 27, 1995 for the restructured offering.
In the restructured offering, the Company is offering up to $20,000,000 in
$1,000 Series A Units consisting of an $850 bond maturing on November 1, 2003
(the "Bonds") and $150 of preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Bonds
bear an annual interest rate of 12.94% from issuance through October 31, 1998,
and thereafter, a variable rate, adjusted annually on November 1, equal to the
one-year United States Treasury bill rate plus 200 basis points, but not less
than 8.24%. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding
principal of the Bonds at any time beginning November 1, 1998. The Preferred
Stock will be issued for $10 per share and is entitled to receive 50%, in the
aggregate, of any remaining proceeds after (1) the Preferred Stock has been
redeemed at $10 per share and (2) the Common Stock has been redeemed at $1 per
share. A dividend can only be paid on the Common Stock if a dividend has also
been paid on each share of Preferred Stock in an amount equal to ten times the
per-share dividend paid on the Common Stock.

2. Organization and Capitalization (continued)
JMC has incurred certain costs in connection with the organization of the
Company and the Offering. The Company pays an Organization and Offering
Expense Reimbursement (the "Reimbursement") to JMC in an amount up to 2.0% of
Aggregate Offering Proceeds. The Reimbursement is limited to $400,000 or the
amount paid by JMC in excess of $450,000, whichever is less. JMC has
contributed $450,000 of the total it estimates it will pay for organization
and offering expenses as a common stock investment in the Company. On July
28, 1995, the shareholders of the Company unanimously consented to adopt an
amendment and restatement of the articles of incorporation of the Company to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 300,000 to
1,000,000. On August 1, 1995, the Company issued 450,000 shares of common
stock to JMC in return for the contribution of $450,000 of organization and
offering costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering
that it has paid on behalf of the Company. JMC is also entitled to receive
common stock in the amount of any unreimbursed organization and offering
costs. The Company has capitalized, and will continue to capitalize, the
portion of the Reimbursement related to the Bonds (85%) and amortize such
costs over the life of the Bonds (approximately 8 years). The remainder of
any such Reimbursement has been deducted, and will continue to be deducted,
from shareholders' equity.
3. Aircraft Under Operating Lease
deHavilland Dash-8
On November 30, 1995, the Company purchased a 100% interest in a
deHavilland DHC-8-100 Model 102 aircraft, serial number 13 ("S/N 13") from
Bombardier, as agent for deHavilland, for $4,200,000 (the "Purchase Price"),
payable in monthly installments as the Company raised funds in the Offering.
The final monthly installment payment for S/N 13 was made on June 4, 1996. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company paid a fee equal to 7.5% of the
Purchase Price ($315,000) to JMC (the "S/N 13 Fee"). The Company also
reimbursed JMC for approximately $17,399 in Chargeable Acquisition Expenses
related to the purchase which had been paid by JMC to third parties (the "S/N
13 Costs"). During 1995, the Company paid to JMC a total of $97,406 of the
S/N 13 Fee and reimbursed JMC for $9,210 of the S/N 13 Costs. During 1996,
the Company paid to JMC the balance of $217,594 of the S/N 13 Fee and
reimbursed JMC for $8,189 of the S/N 13 Costs.
Immediately subsequent to the purchase of S/N 13 by the Company, S/N 13
was leased back to Bombardier for a term of 120 months at a monthly rate of
$60,000 (the "S/N 13 Lease"). The S/N 13 Lease may be terminated by either
party, with at least 120 days prior written notice, after the first 36 months
of the lease. The aircraft is subleased by Bombardier to Air Affaires Afrique
("AAA"), a schedule and charter airline operating under Cameroon registration
and French Civil Aviation Authority regulations. During the period that the
Company made installment payments for the purchase of S/N 13, Bombardier
retained a security interest in the aircraft. Monthly finance charges were
paid to Bombardier in the form of the pro-rata rent earned on the portion of
the Purchase Price remaining to be paid to Bombardier. The Company received a
total of $480,000 in rent under the S/N 13 Lease during the first nine months
of 1996.

3. Aircraft Under Operating Lease (continued)
Fairchild Metro II
On June 4, 1996, the Company purchased a 50% undivided interest in a
Fairchild SA226-TC aircraft, serial number TC-370, for $335,567 ("S/N TC-370")
from CMA Capital Management, Inc. ("CMACM"), an affiliate of JMC. CMACM had
purchased the interest in February 1996 from Air Metro III, Inc. ("Air Metro")
for the express purpose of reselling its interest to the Company when the
necessary funds had been raised. JetFleet II owns the remaining 50% interest
which it purchased at the same time that CMACM purchased its interest. The
purchase price paid by the Company is the same price paid by CMACM ($341,750)
reduced by the net rent received by CMACM during the period the aircraft was
held for resale ($6,183). The Company reimbursed CMACM and JMC $4,533 and
$1,561, respectively, for third party costs incurred in connection with the
acquisition of the interest in the S/N TC-370. The Company also paid a
brokerage fee of $20,505 to JMC. S/N TC-370 is subject to a lease with Sunbird
Air Services, Ltd. for a term expiring September 30, 2000 at a monthly rate of
$9,500, of which the Company is entitled to $4,750 (the "Sunbird Lease"). The
Sunbird Lease contains a guaranty by Air Metro for basic rent in an amount not
to exceed a total aggregate amount of $29,250 (which guaranty is shared
equally by the Company and JetFleet II ) (the "Sunbird Guaranty"). As part of
the purchase of S/N TC-370 from CMACM, CMACM assigned its interests and
obligations under the Sunbird Lease and the Sunbird Guaranty to the Company.
4. Secured Notes Receivable
On July 2, 1996, the Company loaned $800,000 to Aloha IslandAir, Inc.
("Aloha"), secured by a 100% undivided interest in the first of three
deHavilland DHC-6-300 aircraft. In connection with this transaction, the
Company paid JMC $58,091 in brokerage fees, and reimbursed JMC $5,560 for
third party costs incurred in arranging the loan. The Security Agreement for
the aircraft, DHC-6-300 Serial No. 640, contains an option for the Company to
purchase the aircraft and subsequently lease it back to Aloha.
On August 2, 1996, the Company loaned $800,000 to Aloha for the second of
three aircraft, DHC-6-300 Serial No. 751 ("S/N 751"), mentioned above. In
connection with this transaction, the Company paid JMC $39,020 in brokerage
fees and reimbursed JMC $3,735 for third party costs incurred in arranging the
loan. In connection with the loan to Aloha for S/N 751, the Company borrowed
$225,000 from JMC, which was repaid as additional proceeds were raised.
On September 16, 1996, the Company loaned $800,000 to Aloha for the third
of three aircraft, DHC-6-300 Serial No. 696, mentioned above. In connection
with this transaction, the Company paid JMC $71,487 in brokerage fees and
reimbursed JMC $6,843 for third party costs incurred in arranging the loan.

5. Medium-term secured bonds
As mentioned above, the Company is currently raising funds through the
Offering. Each $1,000 Unit subscribed in the offering includes an $850
medium-term secured bond maturing on November 1, 2003. During November 1995,
the Company reached the $500,000 minimum amount required to be raised in the
Offering. Through December 31, 1995, the Company accepted subscriptions for
1,561 Units aggregating $1,561,000 in Gross Offering Proceeds from 100
Unitholders, and, pursuant to the Prospectus, subsequently issued $1,326,850
in Bonds and 23,415 shares of Preferred Stock.During the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the Company accepted subscriptions for 6,760 Units
aggregating $6,760,000 in Gross Offering Proceeds from 430 Unitholders, and,
pursuant to the Prospectus, subsequently issued $5,746,000 in Bonds and
101,400 shares of Preferred Stock.The Bonds bear interest at an annual rate
of 12.94% which is due and payable on a quarterly basis, in arrears, on the
first business day of February, May and August and November each year.
6. Related Party Transactions
The Company's Income Producing Asset portfolio is managed and
administered under the terms of a management agreement with JMC. Under this
agreement, on the last day of each calendar quarter, JMC receives a quarterly
management fee equal to 0.375% of the Company's Aggregate Gross Proceeds
received through the last day of such quarter. During the first nine months
of 1996, the Company accrued and paid to JMC a total of $70,909 in management
fees.
Capital Management Associates ("CMA"), an affiliate of JMC, provides
certain administrative services to the Company. The Company does not
reimburse CMA for those services. JMC may pay a portion of its management fee
to CMA in connection with services rendered for the Company.
JMC may receive a brokerage fee for locating assets for the Company,
provided that such fee is not more than the customary and usual brokerage fee
that would be paid to an unaffiliated party for such a transaction. The total
of the Aggregate Purchase Price plus the brokerage fee cannot exceed the fair
market value of the asset based on appraisal. During the first nine months of
1996, the Company paid JMC a total of $406,697 in brokerage fees and
reimbursed JMC for $25,788 in Chargeable Acquisition Expenses.
As discussed in Note 3, the Company purchased a Fairchild Metro II
aircraft from CMACM during the second quarter of 1996. As part of the
purchase, the Company reimbursed CMACM $4,533 in Chargeable Acquisition
Expenses.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company reimburses JMC for certain costs
incurred in connection with the organization of the Company and the Offering.
In the first nine months of 1996, the Company paid $135,200 to JMC.

7. Subsequent Events
On October 2, 1996, October 17, 1996 and November 4, 1996, the Company
accepted subscriptions for 491, 324 and 575 Units, respectively, aggregating
$491,000, $324,000 and $575,000, respectively, from a total of 108
Unitholders. On November 6, 1996, a portion of the net proceeds were used to
purchase a Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A engine Serial No. P-674267B for $675,000
(the "Engine") from Interglobal, Inc. ("Interglobal"). The Engine is leased
back to Interglobal for sixty months at a monthly rate of $13,000. The Engine
is sub-leased to and is being operated by Aero California S.A. de CV. As part
of the purchase of the Engine, Interglobal assigned its rights under this
sublease to the Company.
In addition to the purchase price, the Company paid a brokerage fee of
$41,239 to JMC and reimbursed JMC $5,134 for third party costs.
After the purchase of the Engine, approximately $540,000 in net proceeds
are available for investment in additional assets.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At the end of the third quarter of 1996, the Company had cash balances
of $230,754. This amount was held for the interest payment made to the
Unitholders in November 1996 and for normally recurring expenses.
Since Inception, the Company's source of capital has been in the form of
an initial contribution from JMC, proceeds from the Offering and net rental
revenue from the Income Producing Assets purchased using those proceeds. The
Company's liquidity will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash
flows from operations exceed expenses, and decreasing as interest payments are
made to the Unitholders and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from
leases.
JetFleet currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate
cash requirements.
Cash flow from operations was ($287,851) and ($458,693) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and for the period from Inception (August 23,
1994) to September 30, 1995, respectively. There were no significant
operations in 1995 until the fourth quarter.
Results of Operations
The Company recorded a net loss of ($509,016) and ($9,193) or ($1.02)
and ($0.08) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and for the
period from Inception (August 23, 1994) to September 30, 1995, respectively,
and a net loss of ($184,426) and ($5,370) or ($0.37) and ($0.02) per share for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. As mentioned above, the
Company did not have significant operations until the fourth quarter of 1995.
As a result of the Company raising funds in the Offering, beginning in the
fourth quarter of 1995, the Company incurred considerably greater operating
expenses, primarily depreciation and interest expense, in 1996. This increase
in expenses was only partially offset by the receipt of rental income received
from the leases on the assets purchased.
