Business. - ------------------- (a) General Development of Business American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") was formed as of July 18, 2002 pursuant to a Liquidating Trust Agreement of the same date by and between Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") and American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"). In accordance with the terms of the settlement of the class and derivative action lawsuit entitled Leonard Rosenblum, et al. v. Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership, et al. (the "Settlement Agreement") and pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution dated as of July 18, 2002 (the "Plan"), the Partnership dissolved and transferred all of its remaining assets and liabilities to the Trust, including a $1,517,513 cash reserve set aside for the estimated contingent liabilities of the Partnership and the Trust. From and after July 18, 2002, unitholders of the Partnership are deemed to be pro rata beneficial interest holders in the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall complete the liquidation and distribution of the assets and the satisfaction or discharge of the liabilities of the Partnership. In accordance with the Plan, all of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of the Trust and cash, less reserves for any contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no later than December 31, 2003. As permitted by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as the manager of the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment Agreement between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November 13, 2002. As Manager, Equis Corporation is to continue to perform the management, administrative, accounting and advisory services as may be requested by the Trustee and as were previously rendered by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG") or its affiliates. Equis Corporation is owned by EFG, which also owns the General Partner, as discussed below. The Partnership, which has dissolved, was originally organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on May 30, 1991 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions from a General Partner (AFG Leasing VI Incorporated) and the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). The Partnership's General Partner is owned by EFG. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments The Trust has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement with Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee. The Trustee's role, among other things, is to complete the liquidation of the assets and to satisfy or discharge the liabilities of the Trust. As discussed above, the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as the Manager of the Trust. The Trustee and the Manager are both compensated for such services as provided for in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Trust is engaged in only one operating industry segment: financial services. Industry segment data is not applicable. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 herein. (c) Narrative Description of Business The Trust was organized for the sole purpose to liquidate and dissolve all of the remaining assets and liabilities of the Partnership with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of trade or business. At December 31, 2002, the Trust's net assets primarily consisted of: - - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts and interest receivable - affiliate - Note receivable and investment securities - affiliate - Equipment held for sale - - Accrued Liabilities The Trust has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement with Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee. The Trustee's role, among other things, is to complete the liquidation of the assets and to satisfy or discharge the liabilities of the Trust. In accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as the manager of the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment Agreement between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November 13, 2002. The Trustee and the Manager are both compensated for such services as provided for in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. All operating expenses incurred directly by the Trust are disbursed by Wilmington Trust on behalf of the Trust. During the liquidation process, certain other operating expenses incurred by the Trust are paid by Equis Corporation in its role as Manager. Equis Corporation is reimbursed by the Trust at its actual cost for such expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during the period July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002, which were paid or accrued by the Trust to Equis Corporation or its affiliates, were $60,048. In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, the Trust recorded an accrual as of December 31, 2002 for the estimated costs to be incurred to liquidate the Trust. Approximately $247,000 of the accrual is estimated to be paid to the Manager for salaries and other expenses incurred to liquidate the assets. (d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales Not applicable. Item 2. Properties. - --------------------- None. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. - ----------------------------- The Trust is subject to various claims and proceedings in the normal course of business. The Trustee believes that the disposition of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Trust or its results of operations. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- None. PART II Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matters. - -------- (a) Market Information There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop. (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders At December 31, 2002, there were 1,203 record holders in the Trust. (c) Dividend History and Restrictions Cash distributions of $1,597,365 and $4,300,000 were paid to the beneficial interest holders of the Trust on August 18, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively. In any given year, it is possible that beneficial interest holders in the Trust will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be available for distribution to the beneficial interest holders in the Trust adequate to cover any tax obligation. Cash distributions when paid to the beneficial interest holders in the Trust consist of both a return of and a return on capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Trust and will be primarily dependent upon the proceeds realized from the liquidation of the Trust's remaining assets offset by the associated costs of such liquidation and dissolution of the Trust. Item 6. Selected Financial Data. - ------------------------------------ The following data should be read in conjunction with Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements included in Item 8 herein. American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust) was organized for the purpose of liquidating the assets that were held by American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"). Per the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan"), all of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the net assets of the Trust and cash, less reserves for any contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no later than December 31, 2003. The selected financial data below represents the net assets of the Trust as of December 31, 2002 and the changes in net assets for the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002.

There are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These factors include, but are not limited to the realization of residual proceeds for the Trust's equipment, the performance and liquidation of the Trust's non-equipment assets and future economic conditions. OVERVIEW American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") was formed as of July 18, 2002 pursuant to a Liquidating Trust Agreement of the same date by and between Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") and American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"). In accordance with the terms of the settlement of the class and derivative action lawsuit entitled Leonard Rosenblum, et al. v. Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership, et al. (the "Settlement Agreement") and pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution dated as of July 18, 2002 (the "Plan"), the Partnership dissolved and transferred all of its remaining assets and liabilities to the Trust, including a $1,517,513 cash reserve set aside for the estimated contingent liabilities of the Partnership and the Trust. From and after July 18, 2002, unitholders of the Partnership are deemed to be pro rata beneficial interest holders in the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall complete the liquidation and distribution of the assets and the satisfaction or discharge of the liabilities of the Partnership. In accordance with the Plan, all of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of the Trust and cash, less reserves for any contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no later than December 31, 2003. In accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as the manager of the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment Agreement between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November 13, 2002. As Manager, Equis Corporation is to continue to perform the management, administrative, accounting and advisory services as may be requested by the Trustee and as were previously rendered by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG") or its affiliates. Equis Corporation is owned by EFG, which also owns the General Partner, as discussed below. The Partnership, which has been dissolved, was originally organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on May 30, 1991 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions from a General Partner (AFG Leasing VI Incorporated) and the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). The Partnership's General Partner is owned by EFG. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of the assets are presented at net realizable amounts and all liabilities are presented at estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with completing the liquidation of the Trust. Preparation of the financial statements on a liquidation basis requires significant assumptions by management, including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any contingent liabilities. There may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. At December 31, 2002, the Trust had approximately $8,700 included in accounts receivable from affiliates for rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment paid by the lessee directly to EFG. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds a separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Liquidating Trust. The Trust's cash proceeds received by EFG are reimbursed to the Trust on a monthly basis. At December 31, 2002, the Trust also had an accounts receivable-affiliates of approximately $105,000. These receivables were paid in full in January 2003. The Trust has a $628,883 note receivable plus accrued interest of $38,496 from an affiliate (the "Semele Note") at December 31, 2002, from Semele Group Inc. ("Semele"), an affiliated entity. The Semele note matures in April 2003 and bears an annual interest rate of 10% with mandatory principal reductions prior to maturity, if and to the extent that net proceeds are received by Semele from the sale or refinancing of its principal real estate asset consisting of an undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land near Malibu, California. In accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in November 2002 an affiliate of EFG purchased 30% of the aggregate principal amount of the Semele Note and the related accrued interest from the Trust. On March 17, 2003, the remaining balance on the Semele Note and accrued interest of $13,276 were paid in full by Semele. At December 31, 2002, the Trust had an investment in securities- affiliate of $43,245. The investment consists of 40,797 shares of Semele stock held by the Trust. The investment securities are carried at fair market value. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, EFG has agreed that it will pay the difference between $5.00 per share and the average purchase price per share of Semele common stock sold, if lesser, through the period ending June 30, 2003. Accordingly, the Trust has recorded the amount due of $160,740 as accounts receivable - affiliate at December 31, 2002. The balance of the receivable will fluctuate inversely with the value of the common stock. The Trust had accrued liabilities of $675,988 at December 31, 2002. Accrued liabilities consist of costs incurred and estimated costs associated with liquidating the assets. To the extent the Trust has a contingent liability, meaning generally a liability the payment of which is subject to the outcome of a future event, the Trust recognizes a liability when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated and the liability is probable. There may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. The events of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath have adversely affected the market demand in the equipment leasing industry. While the Trustee cannot determine if these events will have a material effect on the Trust in the next year, it is monitoring the industries to assess the timing of disposition of the remaining equipment held for sale. Cash distributions of $1,597,365 and $4,300,000 were paid to the beneficial interest holders of the Trust on August 18, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively. In any given year, it is possible that beneficial interest holders in the Trust will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be available for distribution to the beneficial interest holders in the Trust adequate to cover any tax obligation. Cash distributions when paid to the beneficial interest holders in the Trust generally consist of both a return of and a return on capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Trust and will be primarily dependent upon the proceeds realized from the liquidation of the Trust's remaining assets offset by the associated costs of such liquidation and dissolution of the Trust. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDATION ADJUSTMENTS The Liquidating Trust Agreement provides Equis Corporation (the "Manager") authority to liquidate the remaining assets of the Trust in an orderly manner. As a result of the liquidation, operations are being accounted for on a liquidation basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Net income from operations was $80,806 and change in provision for liquidation expense, resulted in a decrease in net assets of $683,610 for the period July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002. Results of Operations - ----------------------- Significant transactions included in the Trust's Statement of Changes in Net Assets In Liquidation as a component of operations for the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 include: In accordance with the Settlement, on or prior to July 18, 2002, Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG") agreed to buy a loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings"). EFG agreed to purchase the loan on or before December 31, 2002 for its original principal value of $3,050,000, less any amounts previously paid, together with interest accruing at an annual rate of 7.5%. This loan was originally made to Echelon Residential Holdings by the Partnership together with loans made by ten other affiliated partnerships. In accordance with the Settlement Agreement and in anticipation of the purchase of the loan by EFG, the Trust agreed not to foreclose or initiate foreclosure procedures on the loan. As of July 18, 2002, the loan and related accrued interest were increased to their estimated net realizable amounts during the Trust's adjustment to liquidation accounting in the amount $330,754, which is reflected in the net assets transferred into the Trust. On November 29, 2002, an affiliate of EFG purchased the loan for its outstanding principal of $2,577,011 plus interest accrued at an annual rate of 7.5% for a total purchase price of $3,184,835, resulting in a gain to the Trust of approximately $608,000. The Trust also incurred expenses of approximately $527,000 incurred during the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 related to the liquidation of the Trust's assets and operations of the Trust. Liquidation Adjustments - ------------------------ Other significant transactions which are included in the Trust's Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation as a change in provision for liquidation expenses for the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 include: During the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002, the Trust recorded a writedown of approximately $348,000 on a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft in which the Trust owns a proportionate interest to reflect the Manager's revised estimate of the liquidation value of the aircraft. In addition, during the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002, the Trust recorded a liquidation adjustment of approximately $336,000 reflecting the Manager's estimate of additional amounts expected to be incurred to liquidate the Trust. The additional liquidation costs are directly correlated to management's estimate of the amount of time necessary to dissolve the Trust. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The Trustee believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, are subject to significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements. Liquidation Accounting - ----------------------- In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of the assets are presented at net realizable amounts and all liabilities are presented at estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with completing the liquidation of the Trust. Preparation of the financial statements on a liquidation basis requires significant assumptions by the Trust, including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any contingent liabilities. There may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Cash Equivalents and Investment Securities - ---------------------------------------------- The Trust classifies any amounts on deposits in banks and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Investment Securities - Affiliate - ------------------------------------ The Trust's investment securities- affiliate consists of the Semele common stock. The Semele stock, which is publicly traded, is carried at fair value in accordance with the liquidation method of accounting. The fair value of the common stock was determined using the quoted market price as of December 31, 2002. Accrued Liabilities - -------------------- Accrued liabilities consist of assumptions by management, including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any contingent liabilities. There may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Commitments and Contingencies - ------------------------------- The Trust is subject to various claims and proceeding in the normal course of business. The Trustee believes that the disposition of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Trust or its results of operations. New Accounting Pronouncements - ------------------------------- In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The Trust adopted SFAS 141 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations. The Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS. No. 142") on January 1, 2002. As a result, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization was effective upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill, and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Fair value of the asset is calculated using several valuation models which utilize the expected future cash flows of the Trust. The Trust adopted SFAS 142 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and requires the recognition of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 143 at the beginning of fiscal 2003 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement of changes in net assets in liquidation. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), the Trust evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. Losses for impairment are recognized when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be realized from a long-lived asset are determined to be less than the carrying value of the asset and the carrying amount of long-lived assets exceed its fair value. The determination of fair value for a given investment requires several considerations, including but not limited to, income expected to be earned from the asset, estimated sales proceeds, and holding costs excluding interest. The Trust adopted SFAS 144 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections." As a result of the rescission of SFAS No. 4, a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt will no longer be presented as an extraordinary item upon the adoption of SFAS No. 145. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement of changes in net assets in liquidation. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.146 is based on the general principle that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity should be recorded when it is incurred and initially measured at fair value. SFAS No.146 applies to costs associated with (1) an exit activity that does not involve an entity newly acquired in a business combination, or (2) a disposal activity within the scope of SFAS No.144. These costs include certain termination benefits, costs to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, and other associated costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees. Because the provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, the effect of adopting this statement has not been determined. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material impact on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement of changes in net assets in liquidation. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). This interpretation clarifies existing accounting principles related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when the equity investors in an entity do no have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires a Trust to evaluate all existing arrangements to identify situations where a Trust has a "variable interest," commonly evidenced by a guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide financial support, in a "variable interest entity," commonly a thinly capitalized entity, and further determine when such variable interest requires a Trust to consolidate the variable interest entities financial statement with its own. The Trust has determined that it is not reasonably possible that it will be required to consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity upon the effective date of FIN 46. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. If it is reasonably possible that an enterprise will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity when this interpretation becomes effective, the enterprise shall disclose information about those entities in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. Based on the recent release of this interpretation, we have not completed our assessment as to whether or not the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on our financial statements. OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE Several other factors may affect the Trust's operating performance through the remainder of 2003, including: - -changes in markets for the Trust's equipment and; - -changes in the regulatory environment in which the equipment operates. The Trust's equipment leasing assets consists of the ownership interest in an aircraft currently off-lease. The events of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath have adversely affected market demand for both new and used commercial aircraft and weakened the financial position of several airline companies. While it currently is not possible for the Trust to determine the ultimate long-term economic consequences of theses events to the equipment leasing segment, management anticipates that the resulting decline in air travel will suppress market prices for used aircraft in the short-term and could inhibit the viability of some airlines. The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is dependent upon many factors, including condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of sale. The Trustee attempts to monitor these change in order to identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Trust and which will maximize total cash returns for each asset. Item 7A.

AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-D, A MASSACHUSETTS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LIQUIDATING TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION - ------------------------ American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") was formed as of July 18, 2002 pursuant to a Liquidating Trust Agreement of the same date by and between Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee") and American Income Fund I-D, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"). In accordance with the terms of the settlement of the class and derivative action lawsuit entitled Leonard Rosenblum, et al. v. Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership, et al. (the "Settlement Agreement") and pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution dated as of July 18, 2002 (the "Plan"), the Partnership dissolved and transferred all of its remaining assets and liabilities to the Trust, including a $1,517,513 cash reserve set aside for the estimated contingent liabilities of the Partnership and the Trust. From and after July 18, 2002, unitholders of the Partnership are deemed to be pro rata beneficial interest holders in the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall complete the liquidation and distribution of the assets and the satisfaction or discharge of the liabilities of the Partnership. In accordance with the Plan, all of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of the Trust and cash, less reserves for any contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no later than December 31, 2003. As permitted by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as the manager of the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment Agreement between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November 13, 2002. As Manager, Equis Corporation is to continue to perform the management, administrative, accounting and advisory services as may be requested by the Trustee and as were previously rendered by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG") or its affiliates. Equis Corporation is owned by EFG, which also owns the General Partner, as discussed below. The Partnership, which has been dissolved, was originally organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on May 30, 1991 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions from a General Partner (AFG Leasing VI Incorporated) and the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). The Partnership's General Partner is owned by EFG. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------------------------------------- Liquidation Accounting - ----------------------- In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of the assets are presented at net realizable amounts and all liabilities are presented at estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with completing the liquidation of the Trust. Preparation of the financial statements on a liquidation basis requires significant assumptions by the Trust, including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any contingent liabilities. There may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. In the opinion of the Trust, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2002 and the changes in net assets in liquidation for the period July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002 have been made and are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The net adjustment required to convert from the going concern (historical cost) basis of accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting was an increase in net assets of $221,018. This amount is reflected in the transfer of net assets at liquidation basis in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. Significant changes in the carrying value of assets and liabilities are summarized as follows: Adjustment to equipment $(191,526) Increase in investment securities - affiliate (Note 5) 142,790 Increase in loan receivable and interest receivable 330,754 Adjustment to accrued expenses 279,000 Estimated liquidation costs (340,000) ---------- Total adjustment to liquidation basis $ 221,018 ========= Cash Equivalents and Investment Securities - ---------------------------------------------- The Trust classifies any amounts on deposits in banks and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Investment Securities - Affiliate - ------------------------------------ The Trust's investment securities- affiliate consists of the Semele common stock. The Semele stock, which is publicly traded, is carried at fair value in accordance with the liquidation method of accounting. The fair value of the common stock was determined using the quoted market price as of December 31, 2002. Accrued Liabilities - -------------------- Accrued liabilities consist of assumptions by management, including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any contingent liabilities. There may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Those differences, if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Income Taxes - ------------- The Trust is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accounts of the Trust. Allocation of Profits and Losses and Distributions - -------------------------------------------------------- For financial statement purposes, net income or loss and distributions are allocated to each owner according to their "pro rate beneficial interest" in the respective Liquidating Trust. Specifically, net income or loss and distributions are allocated based on the type of interest held in the predecessor Partnership, and allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the general partner. New Accounting Pronouncements - ------------------------------- In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The Trust adopted SFAS 141 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations. The Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS. No. 142") on January 1, 2002. As a result, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization was effective upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill, and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Fair value of the asset is calculated using several valuation models which utilize the expected future cash flows of the Trust. The Trust adopted SFAS 142 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and requires the recognition of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 143 at the beginning of fiscal 2003 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement of changes in net assets in liquidation. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), the Trust evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. Losses for impairment are recognized when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be realized from a long-lived asset are determined to be less than the carrying value of the asset and the carrying amount of long-lived assets exceed its fair value. The determination of fair value for a given investment requires several considerations, including but not limited to, income expected to be earned from the asset, estimated sales proceeds, and holding costs excluding interest. The Trust adopted SFAS 144 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections." As a result of the rescission of SFAS No. 4, a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt will no longer be presented as an extraordinary item upon the adoption of SFAS No. 145. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement of changes in net assets in liquidation. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.146 is based on the general principle that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity should be recorded when it is incurred and initially measured at fair value. SFAS No.146 applies to costs associated with (1) an exit activity that does not involve an entity newly acquired in a business combination, or (2) a disposal activity within the scope of SFAS No.144. These costs include certain termination benefits, costs to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, and other associated costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees. Because the provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, the effect of adopting this statement has not been determined. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material impact on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement of changes in net assets in liquidation. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). This interpretation clarifies existing accounting principles related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when the equity investors in an entity do no have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires a Trust to evaluate all existing arrangements to identify situations where a Trust has a "variable interest," commonly evidenced by a guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide financial support, in a "variable interest entity," commonly a thinly capitalized entity, and further determine when such variable interest requires a Trust to consolidate the variable interest entities financial statement with its own. The Trust has determined that it is not reasonably possible that it will be required to consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity upon the effective date of FIN 46. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. If it is reasonably possible that an enterprise will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity when this interpretation becomes effective, the enterprise shall disclose information about those entities in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. Based on the recent release of this interpretation, we have not completed our assessment as to whether or not the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on our financial statements. NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT - --------------------- At December 31, 2002, the Trust's remaining equipment, with an estimated liquidation value of $388,557 is a proportionate ownership interest in a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft. This McDonnell Douglas MD-82 was returned to the Trust upon its lease expiration in April 2001 and has been held for re-lease or sale since that time. The Trust is actively seeking to sell this aircraft. NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES - AFFILIATE AND NOTE RECEIVABLE - AFFILIATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trust is the indirect beneficial owner of 40,797 shares of Semele Group Inc. ("Semele") common stock and a note from Semele (the "Semele Note") with an original amount of $898,405. The Semele Note matures in April 2003 and bears an annual interest rate of 10%, with mandatory principal reductions prior to maturity, if and to the extent that net proceeds are received by Semele from the sale or refinancing of its principal real estate asset consisting of an undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land near Malibu, California. The Trust recognized interest income of $23,728 related to the Semele Note during the period July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002. In accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in November 2002 an affiliate of EFG purchased 30% of the aggregate principal amount of Semele Note and the related accrued interest from the Trust. On March 17, 2003, the remaining balance on the Semele Note and accrued interest of $13,276 were paid in full by Semele. In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of the assets are presented at net realizable amounts. During the period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002, the Trust decreased the carrying value of its investment in Semele common stock from $1.66 per share to $1.06 per share (the quoted price of Semele stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date the stock traded closest to December 31, 2002), resulting in a loss of $24,478. The loss is offset by other income from an increase in the value of the note receivable affiliate, which fluctuates inversely with the value of the stock. As a result, there is no effect on net income from operations in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, EFG has agreed that it will pay the difference between $5.00 per share and the average purchase price per share of Semele common stock sold, if lesser, through the period ending June 30, 2003. Accordingly, the Trust has accrued the amount due of $160,740 as accounts receivable - affiliate at December 31, 2002. NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - ---------------------------------------- All operating expenses incurred directly by the Trust are disbursed by Wilmington Trust on behalf of the Trust. The Trustee's role, among other things, is to complete the liquidation of the assets and to satisfy or discharge the liabilities of the Trust.

Fees and other costs incurred during the period July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002, which were paid or accrued by the Trust to Equis Corporation or its affiliates, were $60,048. In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, the Trust recorded an accrual as of December 31, 2002 for the estimated costs to be incurred to liquidate the Trust. Approximately $247,000 of the accrual is estimated to be paid to the Manager for salaries and other expenses incurred to liquidate the Trust's remaining assets. ------ Item 9.
