JETFLEET III Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation JetFleet III (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of California on August 23, 1994 ("Inception"). All of the Company's outstanding common stock is owned by JetFleet Management Corp. ("JMC"), a California corporation formed in January 1994. JMC is an integrated aircraft management, marketing and financing business, and also manages, on behalf of their respective general partners, the aircraft assets of JetFleet Aircraft, L.P. and JetFleet Aircraft II, L.P. ("JetFleet II "), publicly offered limited partnership programs with objectives similar to the Company's. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of the Company, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results. The results of operations of such periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and other notes to financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995. 2. Organization and Capitalization The Company was formed solely for the purpose of acquiring Income Producing Assets. The Company anticipates that these assets will be Equipment, consisting mainly of aircraft, aircraft engines, aircraft parts or other transportation industry equipment subject to operating or full payout leases with third parties. The Company received Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") clearance on February 3, 1995 for a public offering of up to $20,000,000 in $1,000 Series A Units (the "Offering") consisting of an $850 bond maturing on March 1, 2003 and $150 of preferred stock. Because the structure of the Offering was somewhat different than traditional bond offerings, the Company experienced a delay in obtaining clearance from the securities divisions of some key states. As a result, the Offering was restructured, and the Company received SEC clearance on September 27, 1995 for the restructured offering. In the restructured offering, the Company is offering up to $20,000,000 in $1,000 Series A Units consisting of an $850 bond maturing on November 1, 2003 (the "Bonds") and $150 of preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Bonds bear an annual interest rate of 12.94% from issuance through October 31, 1998, and thereafter, a variable rate, adjusted annually on November 1, equal to the one-year United States Treasury bill rate plus 200 basis points, but not less than 8.24%. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Bonds at any time beginning November 1, 1998. The Preferred Stock will be issued for $10 per share and is entitled to receive 50%, in the aggregate, of any remaining proceeds after (1) the Preferred Stock has been redeemed at $10 per share and (2) the Common Stock has been redeemed at $1 per share. A dividend can only be paid on the Common Stock if a dividend has also been paid on each share of Preferred Stock in an amount equal to ten times the per-share dividend paid on the Common Stock. JETFLEET III Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) 2. Organization and Capitalization (continued) JMC has incurred certain costs in connection with the organization of the Company and the Offering. The Company pays an Organization and Offering Expense Reimbursement (the "Reimbursement") to JMC in an amount up to 2.0% of Aggregate Offering Proceeds. The Reimbursement is limited to $400,000 or the amount paid by JMC in excess of $450,000, whichever is less. JMC has contributed $450,000 of the total it estimates it will pay for organization and offering expenses as a common stock investment in the Company. On July 28, 1995, the shareholders of the Company unanimously consented to adopt an amendment and restatement of the articles of incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 300,000 to 1,000,000. On August 1, 1995, the Company issued 450,000 shares of common stock to JMC in return for the contribution of $450,000 of organization and offering costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering that it has paid on behalf of the Company. JMC is also entitled to receive common stock in the amount of any unreimbursed organization and offering costs. The Company has capitalized, and will continue to capitalize, the portion of the Reimbursement related to the Bonds (85%) and amortize such costs over the life of the Bonds (approximately 8 years). The remainder of any such Reimbursement has been deducted, and will continue to be deducted, from shareholders' equity. 3. Aircraft Under Operating Lease deHavilland Dash-8 On November 30, 1995, the Company purchased a 100% interest in a deHavilland DHC-8-100 Model 102 aircraft, serial number 13 ("S/N 13") from Bombardier, as agent for deHavilland, for $4,200,000 (the "Purchase Price"), payable in monthly installments as the Company raised funds in the Offering. The final monthly installment payment for S/N 13 was made on June 4, 1996. In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid a fee equal to 7.5% of the Purchase Price ($315,000) to JMC (the "S/N 13 Fee"). The Company also reimbursed JMC for approximately $17,399 in Chargeable Acquisition Expenses related to the purchase which had been paid by JMC to third parties (the "S/N 13 Costs"). During 1995, the Company paid to JMC a total of $97,406 of the S/N 13 Fee and reimbursed JMC for $9,210 of the S/N 13 Costs. During 1996, the Company paid to JMC the balance of $217,594 of the S/N 13 Fee and reimbursed JMC for $8,189 of the S/N 13 Costs. Immediately subsequent to the purchase of S/N 13 by the Company, S/N 13 was leased back to Bombardier for a term of 120 months at a monthly rate of $60,000 (the "S/N 13 Lease"). The S/N 13 Lease may be terminated by either party, with at least 120 days prior written notice, after the first 36 months of the lease. The aircraft is subleased by Bombardier to Air Affaires Afrique ("AAA"), a schedule and charter airline operating under Cameroon registration and French Civil Aviation Authority regulations. During the period that the Company made installment payments for the purchase of S/N 13, Bombardier retained a security interest in the aircraft. Monthly finance charges were paid to Bombardier in the form of the pro-rata rent earned on the portion of the Purchase Price remaining to be paid to Bombardier. The Company received a total of $480,000 in rent under the S/N 13 Lease during the first nine months of 1996. JETFLEET III Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) 3. Aircraft Under Operating Lease (continued) Fairchild Metro II On June 4, 1996, the Company purchased a 50% undivided interest in a Fairchild SA226-TC aircraft, serial number TC-370, for $335,567 ("S/N TC-370") from CMA Capital Management, Inc. ("CMACM"), an affiliate of JMC. CMACM had purchased the interest in February 1996 from Air Metro III, Inc. ("Air Metro") for the express purpose of reselling its interest to the Company when the necessary funds had been raised. JetFleet II owns the remaining 50% interest which it purchased at the same time that CMACM purchased its interest. The purchase price paid by the Company is the same price paid by CMACM ($341,750) reduced by the net rent received by CMACM during the period the aircraft was held for resale ($6,183). The Company reimbursed CMACM and JMC $4,533 and $1,561, respectively, for third party costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of the interest in the S/N TC-370. The Company also paid a brokerage fee of $20,505 to JMC. S/N TC-370 is subject to a lease with Sunbird Air Services, Ltd. for a term expiring September 30, 2000 at a monthly rate of $9,500, of which the Company is entitled to $4,750 (the "Sunbird Lease"). The Sunbird Lease contains a guaranty by Air Metro for basic rent in an amount not to exceed a total aggregate amount of $29,250 (which guaranty is shared equally by the Company and JetFleet II ) (the "Sunbird Guaranty"). As part of the purchase of S/N TC-370 from CMACM, CMACM assigned its interests and obligations under the Sunbird Lease and the Sunbird Guaranty to the Company. 4. Secured Notes Receivable On July 2, 1996, the Company loaned $800,000 to Aloha IslandAir, Inc. ("Aloha"), secured by a 100% undivided interest in the first of three deHavilland DHC-6-300 aircraft. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid JMC $58,091 in brokerage fees, and reimbursed JMC $5,560 for third party costs incurred in arranging the loan. The Security Agreement for the aircraft, DHC-6-300 Serial No. 640, contains an option for the Company to purchase the aircraft and subsequently lease it back to Aloha. On August 2, 1996, the Company loaned $800,000 to Aloha for the second of three aircraft, DHC-6-300 Serial No. 751 ("S/N 751"), mentioned above. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid JMC $39,020 in brokerage fees and reimbursed JMC $3,735 for third party costs incurred in arranging the loan. In connection with the loan to Aloha for S/N 751, the Company borrowed $225,000 from JMC, which was repaid as additional proceeds were raised. On September 16, 1996, the Company loaned $800,000 to Aloha for the third of three aircraft, DHC-6-300 Serial No. 696, mentioned above. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid JMC $71,487 in brokerage fees and reimbursed JMC $6,843 for third party costs incurred in arranging the loan. JETFLEET III Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) 5. Medium-term secured bonds As mentioned above, the Company is currently raising funds through the Offering. Each $1,000 Unit subscribed in the offering includes an $850 medium-term secured bond maturing on November 1, 2003. During November 1995, the Company reached the $500,000 minimum amount required to be raised in the Offering. Through December 31, 1995, the Company accepted subscriptions for 1,561 Units aggregating $1,561,000 in Gross Offering Proceeds from 100 Unitholders, and, pursuant to the Prospectus, subsequently issued $1,326,850 in Bonds and 23,415 shares of Preferred Stock.During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company accepted subscriptions for 6,760 Units aggregating $6,760,000 in Gross Offering Proceeds from 430 Unitholders, and, pursuant to the Prospectus, subsequently issued $5,746,000 in Bonds and 101,400 shares of Preferred Stock.The Bonds bear interest at an annual rate of 12.94% which is due and payable on a quarterly basis, in arrears, on the first business day of February, May and August and November each year. 6. Related Party Transactions The Company's Income Producing Asset portfolio is managed and administered under the terms of a management agreement with JMC. Under this agreement, on the last day of each calendar quarter, JMC receives a quarterly management fee equal to 0.375% of the Company's Aggregate Gross Proceeds received through the last day of such quarter. During the first nine months of 1996, the Company accrued and paid to JMC a total of $70,909 in management fees. Capital Management Associates ("CMA"), an affiliate of JMC, provides certain administrative services to the Company. The Company does not reimburse CMA for those services. JMC may pay a portion of its management fee to CMA in connection with services rendered for the Company. JMC may receive a brokerage fee for locating assets for the Company, provided that such fee is not more than the customary and usual brokerage fee that would be paid to an unaffiliated party for such a transaction. The total of the Aggregate Purchase Price plus the brokerage fee cannot exceed the fair market value of the asset based on appraisal. During the first nine months of 1996, the Company paid JMC a total of $406,697 in brokerage fees and reimbursed JMC for $25,788 in Chargeable Acquisition Expenses. As discussed in Note 3, the Company purchased a Fairchild Metro II aircraft from CMACM during the second quarter of 1996. As part of the purchase, the Company reimbursed CMACM $4,533 in Chargeable Acquisition Expenses. As discussed in Note 2, the Company reimburses JMC for certain costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Company and the Offering. In the first nine months of 1996, the Company paid $135,200 to JMC. JETFLEET III Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) 7. Subsequent Events On October 2, 1996, October 17, 1996 and November 4, 1996, the Company accepted subscriptions for 491, 324 and 575 Units, respectively, aggregating $491,000, $324,000 and $575,000, respectively, from a total of 108 Unitholders. On November 6, 1996, a portion of the net proceeds were used to purchase a Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A engine Serial No. P-674267B for $675,000 (the "Engine") from Interglobal, Inc. ("Interglobal"). The Engine is leased back to Interglobal for sixty months at a monthly rate of $13,000. The Engine is sub-leased to and is being operated by Aero California S.A. de CV. As part of the purchase of the Engine, Interglobal assigned its rights under this sublease to the Company. In addition to the purchase price, the Company paid a brokerage fee of $41,239 to JMC and reimbursed JMC $5,134 for third party costs. After the purchase of the Engine, approximately $540,000 in net proceeds are available for investment in additional assets. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Capital Resources and Liquidity At the end of the third quarter of 1996, the Company had cash balances of $230,754. This amount was held for the interest payment made to the Unitholders in November 1996 and for normally recurring expenses. Since Inception, the Company's source of capital has been in the form of an initial contribution from JMC, proceeds from the Offering and net rental revenue from the Income Producing Assets purchased using those proceeds. The Company's liquidity will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from operations exceed expenses, and decreasing as interest payments are made to the Unitholders and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases. JetFleet currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate cash requirements. Cash flow from operations was ($287,851) and ($458,693) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and for the period from Inception (August 23, 1994) to September 30, 1995, respectively. There were no significant operations in 1995 until the fourth quarter. Results of Operations The Company recorded a net loss of ($509,016) and ($9,193) or ($1.02) and ($0.08) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and for the period from Inception (August 23, 1994) to September 30, 1995, respectively, and a net loss of ($184,426) and ($5,370) or ($0.37) and ($0.02) per share for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. As mentioned above, the Company did not have significant operations until the fourth quarter of 1995. As a result of the Company raising funds in the Offering, beginning in the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company incurred considerably greater operating expenses, primarily depreciation and interest expense, in 1996. This increase in expenses was only partially offset by the receipt of rental income received from the leases on the assets purchased.
