PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
International Lease Finance Corporation (the "Company") is primarily engaged
in the acquisition of new and used commercial jet aircraft and the leasing and
sale of such aircraft to domestic and foreign airlines. The Company, in terms
of the number and value of transactions concluded, is a major owner-lessor of
commercial jet aircraft. In addition, the Company is engaged in the
remarketing of commercial jets for its own account, for airlines and for
financial institutions.
Since 1973, the Company has engaged in over 700 transactions involving the
lease or sale of commercial aircraft to more than 140 airlines. As of December
31, 1994, the Company owned 270 aircraft including aircraft owned in joint
ventures. See "Item 2. Properties--Flight Equipment." At December 31, 1994,
the Company had committed to purchase 236 aircraft deliverable through 2000 at
an estimated aggregate purchase price of $13.4 billion. It also had options to
purchase an additional 51 aircraft deliverable through 2001 at an estimated
aggregate purchase price of $2.8 billion. See "Item 2. Properties--
Commitments."
The Company maintains the mix of flight equipment to meet its customers'
needs by purchasing those models of new and used aircraft which it believes
will have the greatest airline demand and operational longevity and minimize
the time that its aircraft are not leased to customers.
The Company purchases, and finances the purchase of, aircraft on terms
intended to permit the Company to lease or resell such aircraft at a profit.
The Company typically finances the purchase of aircraft with borrowed funds
and internally generated cash flow. The Company accesses the capital markets
for such funds at times and on terms and conditions it considers appropriate.
The Company may, but does not necessarily, engage in financing transactions
for specific aircraft. The Company relies significantly on short- and medium-
term financing, and thereby attempts to manage interest rate exposure. To
date, the Company has been able to purchase aircraft on terms which have
permitted it to lease the aircraft at a profit and has not experienced any
difficulty in obtaining financing.
The Company's aircraft are usually leased on terms under which the Company
does not fully recover the acquisition cost of such aircraft. Thus, at the
termination of a lease, the Company bears the risk of selling or releasing the
aircraft on terms which will cover its remaining cost.
The airlines are in a cyclical, economically sensitive and highly
competitive business. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company's revenue and
income may be affected by political instability abroad, changes in national
policy, competitive pressures on certain air carriers, fuel shortages, labor
stoppages, recessions, and other political or economic events adversely
affecting world or regional trading markets or impacting a particular
customer. The Company's continued success is partly dependent on management's
ability in the future to develop customer relationships for leasing, sales and
remarketing with those airlines best able to maintain their economic viability
and survive in a deregulated environment.
The Company is incorporated in the State of California and its principal
executive offices are located at 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles,
California 90067. The Company's telephone, telecopier and telex numbers are
(310) 788-1999, (310) 788-1990 and 69-1400, respectively. The Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"). AIG is
a holding company which through its subsidiaries is primarily engaged in a
broad range of insurance
1
and insurance-related activities in the United States and abroad. The Common
Stock of AIG is listed on, among others, the New York Stock Exchange.
AIRCRAFT LEASING
The initial term of the Company's current leases range in length from one
year to 15 years. See "Item 2. Properties--Flight Equipment" for information
regarding scheduled lease terminations. Most of the Company's leases are
operating leases under which the Company does not fully recover its aircraft
cost and retains the benefit and assumes the risk of the residual value of the
aircraft. The Company on occasion also enters into finance-type and sales-type
leases where the full cost of the aircraft is substantially recovered over the
term of the lease. At December 31, 1994, 262 of the Company's leases,
excluding aircraft in joint ventures, were accounted for as operating leases.
The aircraft under operating leases are included as assets on the Company's
balance sheet and depreciation is charged to income over the estimated useful
lives of the aircraft. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, rentals are reported as revenue over the lease term as they become
due and are earned. The Company attempts to maintain a mix of short- and
medium-term leases to balance the benefits and risks associated with different
lease terms such as larger lease payments on shorter-term leases, changes in
prevailing market conditions at the time aircraft become eligible for re-lease
or sale and uncertainty associated with estimating residual value of the
aircraft at the termination of the lease.
All leases are on a "net" basis with the lessee responsible for all
operating expenses, which customarily include fuel, crews, airport and
navigation charges, taxes, licenses, registration and insurance. Normal
maintenance and repairs; airframe and engine overhauls; and compliance with
return conditions of flight equipment on lease are provided by and paid for by
the lessee. Under the provisions of most leases, for certain airframe and
engine overhauls, the lessee is reimbursed by the Company for costs incurred
up to but not exceeding contingent rentals paid to the Company by the lessee.
The Company provides a charge to operations for such reimbursements based
primarily upon the hours utilized during the period and the expected
reimbursement during the life of the lease. The leases contain specific
provisions regarding the condition of the aircraft upon redelivery to the
Company. The lessee is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations with respect to the aircraft. The Company requires its lessees to
comply with the most restrictive standards of either the Federal Aviation
Administration (the "FAA") or its foreign equivalent. The Company makes
periodic inspections of the condition of its leased aircraft. Generally, the
Company requires a deposit which is security for the condition of aircraft
upon return to the Company, the rental payment by the lessee and the
performance of other obligations by the lessee under the lease. In addition,
the leases contain extensive provisions regarding the remedies and rights of
the Company in the event of a default thereunder by the lessee. The lessee is
required to continue lease payments under all circumstances, including periods
during which the aircraft is not in operation for maintenance, grounding or
any other reason whatsoever.
The Company obtains and reviews financial statements from all prospective
lessees and purchasers before entering into a lease or extending credit. Under
certain circumstances, the Company may require the lessee to obtain guarantees
or other financial support from an acceptable financial institution or other
third party.
FLIGHT EQUIPMENT MARKETING
The Company also regularly engages in transactions to buy and sell aircraft.
Generally, the Company makes a contractual commitment to purchase specific
aircraft for its own account for resale only after or concurrently with
obtaining a firm order from a customer. In some cases, the Company assists its
customers through consulting services and procurement of financing from third
parties.
2
From time to time, the Company also disposes of its leased aircraft at or
before the expiration of their leases. Any gain or loss on disposition of
leased aircraft is reflected as revenues from flight equipment marketing.
In addition to its leasing and sales operations, the Company is engaged,
from time to time, as an agent for airlines in the disposition of their
surplus aircraft. The Company generally acts as an agent under an exclusive
remarketing contract whereby it agrees to sell aircraft on a "best efforts"
basis within a period of one year. Compensation to the Company is based upon a
percentage of the sales price or lease proceeds and is customarily 2% to 5%.
In addition, certain air travel expenses of the Company in connection with its
remarketing activities may be provided by the contracting or selling airline.
These activities generally augment the Company's primary activities and also
serve to promote relationships with prospective sellers and buyers of
aircraft.
Since 1973, the Company has acted as an agent in over 60 aircraft
transactions. The Company plans to continue its remarketing services on a
selected basis involving specific situations where these activities will not
conflict or compete with, but rather will be complementary to, its leasing and
selling activities.
The Company also has guaranteed the loans of certain buyers of aircraft,
which guarantees aggregate approximately $66,933,000. See Note J of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
FINANCING/SOURCE OF FUNDS
The Company purchases new aircraft directly from manufacturers and used
aircraft from airlines for lease or sale to other airlines. The Company
finances the purchase price of flight equipment from internally generated
funds, secured and unsecured commercial bank loans, issuance of commercial
paper, public and private debt and preferred stock. See "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

======== ===== ======== ===== ======== =====
Many foreign countries have currency and exchange laws regulating the
international transfer of currencies. The Company attempts to minimize its
currency and exchange risks by negotiating substantially all of its aircraft
leasing and sales transactions in U.S. dollars and all guarantees obtained to
support various lease agreements are denominated for payment in U.S. dollars.
The Company requires, as a condition to any foreign transaction, that the
lessee or purchaser in a foreign country first obtain, if required, written
approval of the appropriate government agency, finance ministry or central
bank for the remittance of all funds contractually owed to the Company in U.S.
dollars.
The Company has restructured leases with both foreign and domestic lessees.
Such restructurings have involved the voluntary termination of leases prior to
lease expiration, the replacement of leased aircraft with smaller, less
expensive leased aircraft, the arrangement of subleases from the primary
lessee to another airline and the rescheduling of lease payments. In eight
instances from January 1989 through December 1993, the Company has been
required to repossess aircraft. In one instance, the aircraft were leased to a
domestic airline which had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U. S.
Bankruptcy Code. In the other seven instances, the aircraft were on lease to
foreign airlines. No aircraft were repossessed in 1994. In January 1995, the
Company repossessed one A320 from a lessee. As of February 8, 1995, the
aircraft had been re-leased.
In some situations where the Company repossesses an aircraft, it may decide
to export the aircraft from the lessee's jurisdiction. To date, the Company
has been able to export all repossessed aircraft which it desired to export.
In addition, in connection with the repossession of an aircraft, the Company
may be required to pay outstanding mechanic's, airport and other operating
liens on the repossessed aircraft, which could include charges relating to
other aircraft operated by the lessee.
The Company's revenues and income may be affected by political instability
abroad, changes in national policy, competitive pressures on certain air
carriers, fuel shortages, labor stoppages, recessions and other political or
economic events adversely affecting world or regional trading markets or
impacting a particular customer.
COMPETITION
The leasing and sale of jet aircraft is highly competitive. Aircraft
manufacturers and the airlines sell new and used jet aircraft. Furthermore,
the Company faces competition in leasing aircraft from aircraft manufacturers,
banks, other financial institutions and leasing companies. There is also
competition with respect to its remarketing activities from many sources,
including, but not limited to, aircraft brokers.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The FAA, the Department of Transportation and the Department of State
exercise regulatory authority over the air transportation industry. The FAA
has regulatory jurisdiction over registration and flight operations of
aircraft operating in the United States, including equipment use, ground
facilities, maintenance, communications and other matters.
4
The FAA can suspend or revoke the authority of air carriers or their
licensed personnel for failure to comply with its regulations and ground
aircraft if their airworthiness is in question. The Company believes it holds
all airworthiness and FAA registration certificates which are required for the
aircraft owned by the Company, although the certificates may be suspended or
revoked for cause.
The Department of State and the Department of Transportation, in general,
have jurisdiction over economic regulation of air transportation, but since
the Company does not itself operate its aircraft for public transportation of
passengers and property, it is not directly subject to their regulatory
jurisdiction.
To export aircraft from the U.S. to a foreign destination, the Company is
required to obtain an export license from the United States Department of
Commerce. To date, the Company has not experienced any difficulty in obtaining
required certificates either from the FAA, Department of Commerce or any other
regulatory agency or their foreign counterparts.
EMPLOYEES
The Company is in a capital intensive rather than a labor intensive
business. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had 61 full-time employees
which it considered adequate for its business operations. The Company will
expand its management and administrative personnel, as necessary, to meet
future growth. None of the Company's employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement and the Company believes that it has maintained excellent
employee relations. The Company provides certain employee benefits, including
retirement plans and health, life, disability and accident insurance.
INSURANCE
The Company requires its lessees to carry those types of insurance which are
customary in the air transportation industry, including comprehensive
liability insurance and aircraft hull insurance. In general, the Company is an
additional insured on liability policies carried by the lessees. All policies
contain a breach of warranty endorsement so that the interests of the Company
are not prejudiced by any act or omission of the operator-lessee.
Insurance premiums are prepaid by the lessee, with payment acknowledged by
the insurance carrier. The territorial coverage is, in each case, suitable for
its lessee's area of operations and the policies contain, among other
provisions, a "no co-insurance" clause and a provision prohibiting
cancellation or material change without at least 30 days advance written
notice to the Company. Furthermore, the insurance is primary and not
contributory and all insurance carriers are required to waive rights of
subrogation against the Company.
The stipulated loss value schedule under aircraft hull insurance policies is
on an agreed value basis acceptable to the Company, which usually exceeds the
book value of the aircraft. In cases where the Company believes that the
agreed value under the lease is not sufficient, the Company purchases
additional Total Loss Only coverage for the deficiency. Aircraft hull policies
contain standard clauses covering aircraft engines with deductibles required
to be paid by the lessee. Furthermore, the aircraft hull policies contain full
war risk endorsements, including, but not limited to, confiscation, seizure,
hijacking and similar forms of retention or terrorist acts. All losses under
such policies are payable in U.S. currency.
The comprehensive liability insurance policies include provisions for bodily
injury, property damage, passenger liability, cargo liability and such other
provisions reasonably necessary in commercial passenger and cargo airline
operations with minimal deductibles. Such policies generally have combined
comprehensive single liability limits of not less than $250 million and all
losses are payable in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds or German marks.
5
The Company also maintains other insurance covering the specific needs of
its business operations. Insurance policies are generally placed or reinsured
through AIG, with costs allocated back to the Company. The Company believes
that its insurance is adequate both as to coverage and amount.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
FLIGHT EQUIPMENT
The Company's management frequently reviews opportunities to acquire
suitable commercial jet aircraft based not only on market demand and customer
airline requirements, but also on the Company's fleet portfolio mix criteria
and planning strategies for leasing. Before committing to purchase specific
aircraft, the Company takes into consideration factors such as estimates of
future values, potential for remarketing, trends in supply and demand for the
particular type, make and model of aircraft and engines and anticipated
obsolescence. As a result, certain types and vintages of aircraft do not
necessarily fit the profile for inclusion in the Company's portfolio of
aircraft owned and used in its leasing operations.
At December 31, 1994, 93% of the aircraft, which represent 99% of the net
book value of the aircraft, were Stage III, which are aircraft that hold or
are capable of holding a noise certificate issued under Chapter 3 of Volume 1,
Part II of Annex 16 of the Chicago Convention or have been shown to comply
with the Stage III noise levels set out in Section 36.5 of Appendix C of Part
36 of the Federal Aviation Regulations of the United States. At December 31,
1994, the average age of the Company's flight equipment was 4.99 years and the
average age of the Stage III fleet was 4.03 years.
The following table shows the scheduled lease terminations (for the minimum
noncancelable period) by aircraft type for the Company's lease portfolio at
December 31, 1994:

300, four 737-400 and five 737-500.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had options to purchase the following
aircraft at an estimated aggregate purchase price (including adjustment for
anticipated inflation) of approximately $2.8 billion for delivery as shown:

delivery.
If all 287 aircraft were to be acquired, the estimated aggregate purchase
price (including adjustment for anticipated inflation) would be approximately
$16.2 billion. Management anticipates that a significant portion of such
aggregate purchase price will be funded by incurring additional debt. The
exact amount of the indebtedness to be incurred will depend upon the actual
purchase price of the aircraft, which can vary due to a number of factors,
including inflation, and the percentage of the purchase price of the aircraft
which must be financed.
7
Most of the purchase commitments and options set forth above are based upon
master arrangements with each of The Boeing Company ("Boeing"), AVSA, S.A.R.L.,
the sales subsidiary of Airbus Industrie ("Airbus"), Fokker Aircraft USA Inc.
("Fokker") and McDonnell Douglas Corporation ("McDonnell Douglas").
The Boeing aircraft (models 737, 747, 757, 767 and 777), the Airbus aircraft
(models A300, A310, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340), the Fokker aircraft
(model F-70) and the McDonnell Douglas aircraft (model MD-11) listed above are
either being purchased, or the options to purchase have been granted, pursuant
to purchase agreements executed by the Company and Boeing, Airbus, Fokker or
McDonnell Douglas, respectively. These agreements establish the pricing
formulas (which include certain price adjustments based upon inflation and
other factors) and various other terms with respect to the purchase of
aircraft. Under certain circumstances, the Company has the right to alter the
mix of aircraft type ultimately acquired. As of December 31, 1994, the Company
had made non-refundable deposits (exclusive of capitalized interest) with
respect to the aircraft which the Company has committed to purchase of
approximately $430,080,000, $330,595,000, $2,000,000 and $39,181,000 with
Boeing, Airbus, Fokker and McDonnell Douglas, respectively.
As of March 15, 1995, the Company had entered into contracts for 63 of the 68
aircraft to be delivered in 1995, 37 of the 52 aircraft to be delivered in
1996, 12 of the 47 aircraft to be delivered in 1997, 2 of the 35 aircraft to be
delivered in 1998 and 3 of the 34 aircraft to be delivered subsequent to 1998.
The Company will need to find customers for aircraft presently on order and any
new aircraft ordered and arrange financing for portions of the purchase price
of such equipment. Although the Company has been successful to date in placing
its new aircraft on lease or sales contracts, and has obtained adequate
financing in the past, there can be no assurance as to the future continued
availability of lessees or purchasers, or of sufficient amounts of financing on
terms acceptable to the Company.
FACILITIES
The Company's principal offices are located at 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Los
Angeles, California. The Company occupies space under leases which expire in
2000. The leases cover approximately 30,000 square feet of office space,
provide for annual rentals of approximately $1,513,000, and the rental payments
thereunder are subject to certain indexed escalation provisions.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company is wholly owned by AIG and the Company's Common Stock is not
listed on any national exchange or traded in any established market. During the
years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Company paid cash dividends
to AIG of $10,330,000, $11,359,000 and $13,462,000, respectively. It is the
intent of the Company to pay AIG an annual dividend of 7% of net income. Under
the most restrictive provisions of the Company's borrowing arrangements,
consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 1994 in the amount of
$82,000,000 were unrestricted as to the payment of dividends.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
INDUSTRY CONDITION
In recent years, many airlines have experienced economic difficulties and
some have filed for bankruptcy or similar proceedings or have requested that
their leases be restructured. The Company has restructured leases with both
foreign and domestic lessees. Such restructurings have involved the voluntary
termination of leases prior to lease expiration, the replacement of leased
aircraft with smaller, less expensive leased aircraft, the arrangement of
subleases from the primary lessee to another airline and the rescheduling of
lease payments. In eight instances between January 1989 and December 31, 1993,
the Company has been required to repossess aircraft. Recently, however, the
Company has seen some stabilization and a small reversal in this trend which
resulted in only four lessees requesting lease restructurings and no
repossessions in 1994. In January 1995, the Company repossessed one A320
aircraft from an airline. As of February 8, 1995, the aircraft had been re-
leased.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company borrows funds for the purchases of flight equipment, including
the making of progress payments during the construction phase, principally on
an unsecured basis from various sources. At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
the Company's debt financing was comprised of the following:
1994 1993 1992
---------- ---------- ----------
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Public term debt with single
maturities........................... $2,950,000 $2,550,000 $1,800,000

Bank lines of credit and revolvers.... 319,000 -- --
Less: Deferred debt discount.......... (19,028) (10,194) (7,042)
---------- ---------- ----------
Debt financing....................... $7,583,006 $5,819,481 $4,242,288
========== ========== ==========
Composite interest rate............... 6.41% 5.89% 6.55%
Percentage of total debt at fixed
rate................................. 66.98% 74.77% 77.01%
Composite interest rate on fixed debt. 6.65% 6.70% 7.49%
Bank prime rate....................... 8.50% 6.00% 6.00%
The interest on substantially all the public debt (exclusive of the
commercial paper) is fixed for the term of the note. As of December 31, 1994,
the Company had committed revolving loans and lines of credit with 29 banks
aggregating $1.226 billion and uncommitted lines of credit with two banks
aggregating $125 million. Bank debt principally provides for interest rates
that vary according to the pricing option then in effect and range from prime,
.25% to 3/8% over LIBOR or .375% to .425% over CD rates, at the Company's
option. Bank financings are subject to facility fees of up to .1875% of
amounts available.
On February 2, 1995, the Company replaced $1.121 billion of the committed
revolving loans and lines of credit with a new, expanded facility for $1.8
billion. The new facility is subject to a facility fee of up to .10% which is
lower than that for the original facility.
10
The Company has an effective shelf registration with respect to $2.449
billion of debt securities, under which $300 million of notes were sold
through 1994. Additionally, a $1 billion Medium-Term Note program has been
implemented under the shelf registration, under which $535.6 million has been
sold through December 31, 1994.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company had entered into an Export Credit Lease
facility in the amount of $555 million for the acquisition of up to 10 Airbus
aircraft originally scheduled to be delivered in 1994. As of December 31,
1994, the Company had cancelled the options to finance four of the aircraft
aggregating $131 million. An additional $315 million was used to finance four
of the aircraft in 1994. The remaining $109 million will be used for aircraft
to be delivered in 1995. In addition, as of December 31, 1994, the Company
entered into a second Export Credit Lease facility in the amount of $1,375
million which is available for the acquisition of up to 21 Airbus aircraft to
be delivered in 1995. Both Export Credit Lease facilities provide ten year,
amortizing loans. The interest rate on 62.5% of the total financing available
is 6.55%, the interest rate on 22.5% of the financing available varies between
6.18% and 6.89%. The remaining 15% of the financing available provides for
LIBOR based pricing.
Since AIG's acquisition of the Company in 1990, through December 31, 1994,
AIG has contributed $250 million of additional capital to the Company.
In each of 1992, 1993 and February 1995, the Company sold $100 million of
Market Auction Preferred Stock.
The Company believes that it has sufficient financing sources available to
meet its capital requirements through fiscal 1995.
In the normal course of business, the Company employs a variety of off-
balance sheet financial instruments and other derivative products to manage
its exposure to interest rates and the resulting impact of changes in interest
rates on earnings, with the objective to lower its overall borrowing cost and
to maintain its optimal mix of variable and fixed rate interest obligations.
These derivative products include interest rate swap agreements, interest rate
spreadlocks and interest rate swap options ("swaptions").
The counterparties to the Company's derivative instruments are all
recognized U.S. derivative dealers. The counterparties to the majority of the
notional amounts of the Company's derivative instruments are AAA rated and all
have at least an A credit rating. The Company currently does not, although it
can in certain circumstances, require its counterparties to provide security
for its positions with the Company. Any failure of the instruments or
counterparties to perform under the derivative contracts would have an
immaterial impact on the Company's earnings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The increase in revenues from rentals of flight equipment from $628.6
million in 1992 to $795.4 million in 1993 to $993.6 million in 1994 is due to
the increase in both the size and relative cost of the fleet of leased flight
equipment subject to operating lease from 167 in 1992 to 223 in 1993 to 262 in
1994.
In addition to its leasing operations, the Company engages in the marketing
of flight equipment on a principal and commission basis as well as the
disposition of flight equipment at the end of the lease term. Revenue from
such flight equipment marketing increased from $46.8 million in 1992 to $53.7
million in 1993 to $76.2 million in 1994 as a result of the following number
of aircraft transactions in each period:
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Sales of flight equipment.................................. 3 2 0
Commissions................................................ 10 8 6
Disposition of leased aircraft............................. 21 7 7
11
In addition, in 1994 the Company sold eight engines.
Interest and other income increased from $55.1 million in 1992 to $62.5
million in 1993 and decreased to $40.3 million in 1994. The increase in 1993
was due to an increase in notes receivable from $171.3 million (1992) to
$337.9 million (1993). Additionally, the Company had dividend income of $6.4
million (1992) and $2.4 million (1993) from its investment in Alaska Air Group
and realized $8.6 million (1992) and $16.3 million (1993) in deposit
forfeitures and fees principally on repossessed aircraft and early lease
terminations. The decrease in 1994 was due to the decline in dividend income
due to the disposition of the Alaska Air Group Stock in 1993. In addition, due
to the stabilization in the airline industry, the Company only realized $1.4
million (1994) in deposit forfeitures and fees on early lease terminations.
Expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 66.3% for 1992 compared to
70.0% for 1993 and 71.9% for 1994. Interest expense increased from $243.5
million in 1992 to $301.2 million in 1993 to $376.6 million in 1994, primarily
as a result of an increase in debt outstanding, excluding the effect of debt
discount, from $4,249.3 million in 1992 to $5,829.7 million in 1993 to
$7,602.0 million in 1994 to finance aircraft acquisitions, as affected by
changes in interest rates during the periods. These interest rate changes
caused the Company's composite borrowing rate to fluctuate as follows:
December 31, 1991........................... 7.66%
March 31, 1992.............................. 7.04
June 30, 1992............................... 6.70
September 30, 1992.......................... 6.60
December 31, 1992........................... 6.55
March 31, 1993.............................. 6.29
June 30, 1993............................... 6.11
September 30, 1993.......................... 6.05
December 31, 1993........................... 5.89
March 31, 1994.............................. 5.79
June 30, 1994............................... 5.87
September 30, 1994.......................... 6.09
December 31, 1994........................... 6.41
The balance of the increase in expenses is primarily attributable to
increases in depreciation of flight equipment from $192.2 million in 1992 to
$268.2 million in 1993 to $334.6 million in 1994 due to the addition of
aircraft.
Provision for overhauls increased from $28.1 million in 1992 to $39.9
million in 1993 to$57.6 million in 1994 due to an increase in the number of
aircraft on which the Company collects overhaul reserves and therefore an
increase in the number of hours flown for which an overhaul reserve is
provided, partially offset by the reversal of reserves on aircraft which
either changed lessees or were sold during the year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors
International Lease Finance Corporation
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
International Lease Finance Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of International Lease Finance Corporation at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Parent Company: International Lease Finance Corporation (the "Company") is a
wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"). AIG is
a holding company which through its subsidiaries is primarily engaged in a
broad range of insurance and insurance-related activities in the United States
and abroad.
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. Investments of less than 20% in other affiliates are carried at
cost. Investments of between 20% and 50% in other affiliates are carried under
the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Intercompany Allocations: AIG allocates certain costs to its subsidiaries.
The charges amounted to $2,506 (1994), $2,312 (1993) and $225 (1992).
Rentals: The Company, as lessor, leases flight equipment principally under
operating leases. Accordingly, income is reported over the life of the lease
as rentals become receivable under the provisions of the lease or, in the case
of leases with varying payments, under the straight-line method over the
noncancelable term of the lease. In certain cases, leases provide for
additional amounts based on usage.
Flight Equipment Marketing: The Company is a marketer of flight equipment.
Marketing revenues include all revenues from such operations consisting of net
gains on sales of flight equipment, commissions and net gains on disposition
of leased flight equipment.
Flight Equipment: Flight equipment is stated at cost. Major additions and
modifications are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs; airframe and
engine overhauls; and compliance with return conditions of flight equipment on
lease are provided by and paid for by the lessee. Under the provisions of most
leases, for certain airframe and engine overhauls, the lessee is reimbursed
for costs incurred up to but not exceeding contingent rentals paid the Company
by the lessee. The Company provides a charge to operations for such
reimbursements based primarily upon the hours utilized during the period and
the expected reimbursement during the life of the lease.
Generally, all aircraft are depreciated using the straight-line method over
a 25 year life from the date of manufacture to a 15% residual value. Boeing
737-200 aircraft are depreciated to a residual value of 15% at December 31,
1996.
At the time assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related
accounts and the difference, net of proceeds, is recorded as a gain or loss.
Capitalized Interest: The Company borrows certain funds to finance progress
payments for flight equipment being constructed to order. The interest
incurred on such borrowings is capitalized and included in the cost of the
equipment.
Deferred Debt Issue Costs: Deferred debt issue costs incurred in connection
with debt financing are being amortized over the life of the debt using the
interest rate method.

INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments: As a result of the Company having specific
aircraft purchase agreements, it has been able to obtain financing options for
fixed rate debt. The financing is available upon the purchase of specific
aircraft. However, the Company is not required to use the financing options to
purchase the specific aircraft and may choose to use other financing methods.
Acquired financing options that are expected to be designated as hedges of
anticipated financing arrangements are carried at cost based on their
allocated fair values. Such costs are amortized over the lives of the acquired
financing options.
The Company has granted certain parties the right but not the obligation to
effectively convert certain of the Company's fixed note obligations to
floating rate obligations based on an established notional amount. The
proceeds of such option agreements are initially recorded as a liability.
Subsequently, the value of such options agreements, as well as the cost
allocated to undesignated aircraft financing options, are adjusted to fair
value with changes in value recorded in income.
When swap agreements resulting from this activity are effective in modifying
the terms of actual debt agreements from a fixed rate basis to a floating rate
basis, such swaps are treated by the accrual method. Periodic payments as well
as the amortization (by a level yield method) of the initial value are treated
as adjustments to interest expense from the related debt.
Income Taxes: The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated federal income tax return of AIG. The Company and its
subsidiaries are included in the combined California unitary tax return of
AIG. The provision for income taxes is calculated on a separate return basis.
Income tax payments are made pursuant to a tax payment allocation agreement
whereby AIG credits or charges the Company for the corresponding increase or
decrease (not to exceed the separate return basis calculation) in AIG's
current taxes resulting from the inclusion of the Company in AIG's
consolidated tax return. Intercompany payments are made when such taxes are
due or tax benefits are realized by AIG.
The deferred tax liability is determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and is measured at
the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.
Deferred tax expense is determined by the change in the liability for deferred
taxes ("Liability Method").
Reclassifications: Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1993 and
1992 financial statements to conform to the Company's 1994 presentation.

Medium-Term Notes:
The Company's Medium-Term Notes bear interest at rates varying between 3.75%
and 9.88%, inclusive, with maturities from 1995 through 2004. The Medium-Term
Notes provide for a single principal payment at the maturity of the respective
note. They cannot be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity.
Capital Lease Obligations:
At December 31, 1994, the Company had guaranteed funding facilities with
committed fixed rate funding for 1995 borrowings in the amount of $1,484,000.
The facilities provide for funding the purchase of up to 23 Airbus aircraft
during 1995. The Company has the right but not the obligation to utilize these
facilities and will make this decision based on the cost of the facilities
versus alternate funding opportunities existing on the exercise dates of the
facilities.
The Company's guaranteed funding facilities provide 10 year, fully
amortizing debt in three interest rate tranches. The first 62.5% of the debt
is at a fixed rate of 6.55%. The second 22.5% of the debt is at fixed rates
varying between 6.18% and 6.89%. The final 15% of the debt is at a floating
LIBOR based rate.
Maturities of debt financing (excluding commercial paper) at December 31,
1994 are as follows:
1995........................................................... $1,185,101
1996........................................................... 1,090,252

Under the most restrictive provisions of the related borrowings,
consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 1994, in the amount of $82,000
are unrestricted as to payment of dividends.

NOTE F--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock:
In November 1993 and December 1992, 500 shares each of Series C and D and
500 shares each of Series A and B, respectively, of Market Auction Preferred
Stock ("MAPS") were issued in connection with public offerings at $100,000 per
share. Proceeds, net of issuance costs, to the Company were $98,472 (1993) and
$98,568 (1992). The MAPS have a liquidation value of $100,000 per share and
are not convertible. The dividend rate, other than the initial rate, for each
dividend period for each series will be reset approximately every 7 weeks (49
days) on the basis of orders placed in an auction. At December 31, 1994, the
dividend rates for Series A, B, C and D were 4.88%, 5.125%, 4.53% and 4.60%,
respectively.
Stock Appreciation Rights:
Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") were granted to certain employees of the
Company during 1990. The SARs granted generally vest over a nine year period
from the effective date and are exercisable immediately upon vesting. SARs
initially have no value but can gain a cash value based upon the difference
between a Benchmark Price and a Formula Price (based on adjusted pre-tax cash
flow of the Company), but not in excess of an aggregate of $150,000, to be
accrued and paid over the period of the plan. The SAR plan became effective on
January 1, 1991. No value has been earned or accrued under the SAR plan as of
December 31, 1994.

NOTE I--OTHER INFORMATION
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company leases and sells aircraft to airlines. All of the lease
receivables and the majority of notes receivable are from airlines located
throughout the world. The Company generally obtains deposits on leases and
obtains collateral in flight equipment on notes receivable. The Company has no
single customer which accounts for 10% or more of revenues.
Segment Information
The Company operates within one industry, the marketing of flight equipment
through leasing and sales.
Revenues include rentals of flight equipment to foreign airlines of $798,619
(1994), $655,773 (1993) and $546,452 (1992).
Miscellaneous
Interest and other revenue includes dividend income from its investment in
Alaska Air Group $2,431 (1993) and $6,400 (1992) and security deposit
forfeitures and early lease termination fees of $1,400 (1994), $16,329 (1993)
and $8,565 (1992).
Employee Benefit Plans
The Company's employees participate in various benefit plans sponsored by
AIG, including a noncontributory qualified defined benefit retirement plan and
a voluntary savings plan (401(k) plan).
AIG's U.S. plans do not separately identify projected benefit obligations
and plan assets attributable to employees of participating affiliates. AIG's
projected benefit obligations exceeded the plan assets at December 31, 1994 by
$21,375.
Gain on Disposition of Assets
During 1992, proceeds from the sale and leaseback of aircraft were $26,000.
The gain of $7,069 was deferred and is being credited to rent expense over the
term of the applicable lease agreement.

NOTE J--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Aircraft orders and options
At December 31, 1994, the Company had committed to purchase 236 aircraft
deliverable from 1995 through 2000 at an estimated aggregate purchase price
(including adjustment for anticipated inflation) of approximately $13,379,200.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had options to purchase 51 aircraft
deliverable from 1996 through 2001 at an estimated aggregate purchase price
(including adjustment for anticipated inflation) of approximately $2,766,800.
Most of these purchase commitments and options are based upon master
arrangements with each of The Boeing Company ("Boeing"), AVSA, S.A.R.L., the
sales subsidiary of Airbus Industrie ("Airbus"), Fokker Aircraft USA Inc.
("Fokker") and McDonnell Douglas Corporation ("McDonnell Douglas").
The Boeing aircraft (models 737, 747, 757, 767 and 777), the Airbus aircraft
(models A300, A310, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340), the Fokker aircraft
(model F-70) and the McDonnell Douglas aircraft (model MD-11) described above
are either being purchased, or the options to purchase have been granted,
pursuant to purchase agreements executed by the Company and Boeing, Airbus,
Fokker or McDonnell Douglas, respectively. These agreements establish the
pricing formulas (which include certain price adjustments based upon inflation
and other factors) and various other terms with respect to the purchase of
aircraft. Under certain circumstances, the Company has the right to alter the
mix of aircraft type ultimately acquired. As of December 31, 1994, the Company
had made non-refundable deposits (exclusive of capitalized interest) with
respect to the aircraft which the Company has committed to purchase of
approximately $430,080, $330,595, $2,000 and $39,181 with Boeing, Airbus,
Fokker and McDonnell Douglas, respectively.
If all 287 aircraft were to be acquired, the estimated aggregate purchase
price (including adjustment for anticipated inflation) would be approximately
$16,146,000. Management anticipates that a significant portion of such
aggregate purchase price will be funded by incurring additional debt. The
exact amount of the indebtedness to be incurred will depend upon the actual
purchase price of the aircraft, which can vary due to a number of factors,
including inflation, and the percentage of the purchase price of the aircraft
which must be financed.
Asset Value Guarantees
The Company guaranteed a portion of the residual value of one aircraft for a
fee paid in 1990, four aircraft for fees paid in 1991 and five aircraft for
fees paid in 1994. The aggregate guarantees at December 31, 1994, are $131,313
and, if called upon, are payable in the amounts of $2,000 (1995), $6,213
(1997), $3,100 (1999), $21,000 (2000), $63,000 (2003) and $36,000 (2006).
Other Guarantees
In connection with the acquisition of six aircraft by affiliates, the
Company guaranteed the loans, which at December 31, 1994 aggregated $65,493.
In connection with the acquisition of one aircraft by an unrelated company,
the Company guaranteed an aggregate of $1,440 of lease payments through 1996.

INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE K--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Company employs a variety of off-
balance sheet financial instruments and other derivative products to manage
its exposure to interest rates and the resulting impact of changes in interest
rates on earnings, with the objective to lower its overall borrowing cost and
to maintain its optimal mix of variable and fixed rate interest obligations.
These derivative products include interest rate swap agreements, interest rate
spreadlocks and interest rate swap options ("swaptions").
The counterparties to the Company's derivative instruments are all
recognized U.S. derivative dealers. The counterparties to the majority of the
notional amounts of the Company's derivative instruments are AAA rated and all
have at least an A credit rating. One of the counterparties is a related party
of the Company. All derivative contracts between the Company and the related
party are at arms length. The Company currently does not, although it can in
certain circumstances, require its counterparties to provide security for its
positions with the Company. Any failure of the instruments or counterparties
to perform under the derivative contracts would have an immaterial impact on
the Company's earnings.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had interest rate swap agreements
with aggregate notional amounts of $294,761 and $125,000, respectively, which
effectively converted certain fixed rate obligations with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.46% (1994) and 5.56% (1993) to variable rate obligations
equal to the six month LIBOR rate. In addition, at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$100,000 which effectively converted a floating rate obligation equal to the
one month commercial paper rate to a fixed rate obligation with a weighted
average interest rate of 5.82%. Also, at December 31, 1994 the Company had an
interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50,000 which converted
a floating rate obligation equal to two year U.S. Treasuries minus 0.25% to a
floating rate obligation equal to three month LIBOR plus 0.25%. The interest
rate swap agreements expire in 1996 ($25,000 notional value), 1997 ($100,000
notional value), 1998 ($100,000 notional value), 1999 ($50,000 notional value)
and 2004 ($169,761 notional value).
At December 31, 1994, the Company had committed swaption contracts with an
aggregate notional amount of $1,116,280 substantially expiring through 1996.
The swaptions grant to the option holder the right but not the obligation to
effectively convert certain of the Company's fixed rate financing options with
a weighted average interest rate of 6.78% to floating rates equal to the six
month LIBOR rate. The swaptions were entered into with the objective to lower
the Company's borrowing costs and to obtain its optimal mix of variable and
fixed rate obligations.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
Notes receivable: The fair values for notes receivable are estimated
using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being
offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.
33
INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE K--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Investments: It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of most of
the Company's investments in the common and preferred stocks of other
companies because of the lack of a quoted market price and the inability to
estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. The carrying amount
of these investments at December 31, 1994 represents the original cost or
original cost plus the Company's share of earnings of the investment, which
management believes is not impaired. For investments held by the Company
that had a quoted market price at December 31, 1994, the Company used such
quoted market price in estimating the fair value of such investments.
Debt financing: The carrying value of the Company's commercial paper and
term debt maturing within one year approximates its fair value. The fair
value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash
flow analyses, based on the Company's spread to Treasuries for similar debt
at year-end.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Company's off-balance-
sheet instruments are based on pricing models or formulas using current
assumptions (swaps, swaptions and the guaranteed loan facility) and the
amount of the guarantee which would not be covered by the fair value of the
underlying collateral (loan guarantees and asset value guarantees).
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
at December 31, 1994 are as follows:
