Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
AeroCentury Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state
of Delaware on February 28, 1997. All of the Company's
outstanding 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 general partners and
shareholders, respectively, the aircraft assets of JetFleet
Aircraft, L.P. and JetFleet Aircraft II, L.P. (collectively, the
"Partnerships"), and JetFleet III and AeroCentury IV, Inc.,
California corporations which are subsidiaries of JMC.
The accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 1997 and
statements of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
and the period from inception (February 28, 1997) to September 30,
1997 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 period is not necessarily indicative of results
of operations for a full year.
2. Organization and Capitalization
The Company was formed solely for the purpose of acquiring the
Partnerships in a statutory merger (the "Consolidation"). The
Partnerships, formed under California law, invest in leased
aircraft equipment. A Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the
proposed Consolidation became effective on September 23, 1997 and
the proposed Consolidation has been submitted to the limited
partners of the Partnerships for their approval. Upon completion
of the Consolidation, the Company will continue in the aircraft
leasing business and plans to use leveraged financing to acquire
additional aircraft assets on lease.
The Company maintains its cash balance of $127,898 in a
regional bank headquartered in San Francisco. Of this amount,
$27,898 is not federally insured.
Accounts payable and payable to affiliates primarily consist of
offering costs incurred in connection with the proposed
Consolidation.
3. Related Party Transactions
At September 30, 1997 JMC had incurred $50,406 of Consolidation
costs on behalf of the Company.
Upon completion of the Consolidation, the Company's portfolio
of leased aircraft assets will be managed and administered under
the terms of a management agreement with JMC. Under this
agreement, JMC will receive a monthly management fee based on the
net asset value of the assets under management. In addition, 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, and provided further that the aggregate purchase
price including chargeable acquisition costs and any brokerage fee
shall not exceed the fair market value of the asset based on
appraisal.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company's cash and temporary investments were $127,898 at
September 30, 1997. The Company estimates that costs associated
with the Consolidation will approximate $325,000. Consolidation
costs of $240,578 have been incurred at September 30, 1997 of
which $217,406 is included in liabilties. It is anticipated that
such offering costs in excess of current cash balances will be
financed through short-term payables and paid at the time of the
Consolidation. Should the Consolidation not occur, the Company's
sole shareholder, JetFleet Management Corp., has committed to pay
such costs.
Results of Operations
The Company has yet to generate a profit due to the fact that
the Company is recently formed. For the remainder of 1997, the
Company does not anticipate significant operating activity, other
than incurring merger costs in connection with the proposed
consolidation of JetFleet Aircraft, L. P. and JetFleet Aircraft
II, L.P. with and into the Company (the "Consolidation").
Competition
Upon Consolidation, the Company will compete with aircraft
manufacturers, distributors, airlines and other operators,
equipment managers, leasing companies, equipment leasing programs,
financial institutions and other parties engaged in leasing,
managing or remarketing aircraft, many of which have significantly
greater financial resources and more experience than the Company.
