POLARIS AIRCRAFT INCOME FUND II,
A California Limited Partnership
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and the Partnership
Polaris Aircraft Income Fund II, A California Limited Partnership (the
Partnership), was formed on June 27, 1984 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing aircraft. The Partnership will terminate no later than December 2010.
Upon organization, both the General Partner and the initial Limited Partner
contributed $500. The Partnership recognized no profits or losses during the
periods ended December 31, 1985 and 1984. The offering of Limited Partnership
units terminated on December 31, 1986, at which time the Partnership had sold
499,997 units of $500, representing $249,998,500. All partners were admitted to
the Partnership on or before December 1, 1986. During January 1998, 24 units
were redeemed by the Partnership in accordance with section 18 of the Limited
Partnership Agreement (the Agreement). During the three months ended June 30,
2003, 50 units were abandoned. At June 30, 2003, there were 499,840 units
outstanding, net of redemptions.
Polaris Investment Management Corporation (PIMC), the sole General Partner of
the Partnership (the General Partner), supervises the day-to-day operations of
the Partnership. PIMC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris Aircraft Leasing
Corporation (PALC). Polaris Holding Company (PHC) is the parent company of PALC.
General Electric Capital Corporation (GE Capital), an affiliate of General
Electric Company, owns 100% of PHC's outstanding common stock. PIMC has entered
into a services agreement dated as of July 1, 1994 with GE Capital Aviation
Services, Inc. (GECAS). Amounts paid and allocations to related parties are
described in Notes 3 and 4.
At June 30, 2003, the Partnership owned a portfolio of 10 used McDonnell Douglas
DC-9-30 commercial jet aircraft, and an inventory of spare parts out of its
original portfolio of 30 aircraft. Three of these aircraft were on lease to TWA
Airlines, LLC (TWA LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines, Inc.
(American). The seven remaining aircraft were stored in New Mexico and were
being remarketed for sale.
2. Accounting Principles and Policies
In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements presented
herein include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items,
necessary to summarize fairly the Partnership's financial position and results
of operations. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the instructions of the Quarterly Report to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has
been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not
include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 included in the
Partnership's 2002 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.

for the current quarter to the General Partner, Polaris Investment Management
Corporation, in connection with services rendered or payments made on behalf of
the Partnership:

Expense Reimbursement 575,850 --
-------- --------
$664,284 $ 19,893
======== ========
4. Partners' Capital
The Agreement stipulates different methods by which revenue, income and loss
from operations and gain or loss on the sale of aircraft are to be allocated to
the General Partner and the limited partners. Such allocations are made using
income or loss calculated under GAAP for book purposes, which varies from income
or loss calculated for tax purposes.
Cash available for distributions, including the proceeds from the sale of
aircraft, is distributed 10% to the General Partner and 90% to the limited
partners.
The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for
distribution combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book
and tax purposes result in book basis capital accounts that may vary
significantly from tax basis capital accounts. The ultimate liquidation and
distribution of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.
5. Sale of Aircraft
On February 13, 2002 PIMC, on behalf of the Partnership, sold one DC-9-30
aircraft to Amtec Corporation for $250,000 cash. The Partnership recognized a
gain on the sale of $65,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Business Overview
At June 30, 2003, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund II, A California Limited
Partnership (the Partnership), owned a portfolio of 10 used McDonnell Douglas
DC-9-30 commercial jet aircraft, and an inventory of spare parts out of its
original portfolio of 30 aircraft. Three of these aircraft were on lease to TWA
Airlines, LLC (TWA LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Inc.
(American). All remaining leases will expire by October 3, 2003, after which
these aircraft will be remarketed for sale. The seven remaining aircraft were
being stored in New Mexico and were being remarketed for sale.
Partnership Operations
The Partnership recorded net income of $236,223, or $0.47 per limited
partnership unit, for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to net
income of $408,164, or $0.81 per limited partnership unit, for the three months
ended June 30, 2002. The Partnership recorded net income of $505,711, which
resulted in a net loss of $0.20 per limited partnership unit, for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, compared to net income of $1,046,175, or $1.04 per limited
partnership unit, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases in net
income are primarily due to decreases in rental and interest income, and a
decrease in gain on sale of aircraft along with an increase in operating
expenses, partially offset by an increase in other income and decreases in
depreciation and management fees to the General Partner as discussed below.
Rent from operating leases decreased to $657,358 and $1,619,453 in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003 respectively, as compared to $1,377,636 and
$3,063,737 for the respective periods in 2002, primarily due to fewer aircraft
on lease. Additionally, the decrease in rent from operating leases was also
caused by lower recognition of deferred revenue of $160,024 and $403,454 in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 respectively, as compared to $384,302
and $898,403 in the respective periods in 2002.
Interest income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003,
as compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to lower average cash
reserves and a lower rate of return on those cash reserves.
Gain on sale of aircraft decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2003, as
compared to the same period in 2002, due to the sale of one of the Partnership's
aircraft on February 13, 2002 for $250,000 resulting in a gain on the sale of
$65,000. There were no aircraft sales in 2003.
Lessee return condition settlements increased during the three months ended June
30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002. Two aircraft were returned to
the Partnership during the 2003 period as compared to one aircraft during the
2002 period. Lessee return condition settlements decreased during the six months
ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002. Three aircraft were
returned to the Partnership during the 2003 period as compared to two aircraft
during the 2002 period. The amount of return condition settlement for a
particular aircraft can vary significantly from the next due to the fact that
TWA LLC is required to return the installed engines on each aircraft with a
target level of average cycle life remaining to replacement for all life limited
parts of 25%. If the average cycle life remaining on the installed engines on an
aircraft is below the 25% target level, a financial adjustment is payable by TWA
9
LLC to the Partnership (but no payment will be owed by the Partnership to TWA
LLC if cycle life remaining at return exceeds the target level).
Other income increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as
compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to a payment received during
the three months ended June 30, 2003 from TWA's bankrupt estate in respect of
certain administrative rent claims in the amount of $69,345 of the total claim
of $422,989.
Depreciation expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30,
2003, as compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to fewer aircraft
remaining on lease and subject to depreciation.
Operating expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003
primarily due to increased maintenance and storage related costs associated with
the aircraft as they come off lease and are held for sale. As of June 30, 2003
seven aircraft remain in storage while being remarketed for sale.
Administration and other expense increased during the three months ended June
30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to increased
audit fees. Administration and other expense decreased during the six months
ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a
decrease in legal fees. In the 2002 period legal fees were incurred in
connection with an SEC prompted court order related to transfers of units to
entities owned by an investor. There were no such fees incurred in the 2003
period.
Liquidity and Cash Distributions
Liquidity - The Partnership received all payments due from its sole lessee, TWA
Airlines LLC, for the aircraft remaining on lease during the six months ended
June 30, 2003.
PIMC, the General Partner, has determined that cash reserves be maintained as a
prudent measure to ensure that the Partnership has available funds in the event
that the aircraft presently on lease to TWA LLC require remarketing, and for
other contingencies, including expenses of the Partnership. The Partnership's
cash reserves will be monitored and may be revised from time to time as further
information becomes available in the future.
Cash Distributions - Cash distributions to limited partners during the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $6,248,876, or $12.50 per limited
partnership unit, and $4,999,659, or $10.00 per unit, respectively. The timing
and amount of future cash distributions are not yet known and will depend on the
Partnership's future cash requirements (including expenses of the Partnership),
the need to retain cash reserves as previously discussed in the Liquidity
section, the receipt of rental payments from TWA LLC, and payments generated
from aircraft sales proceeds.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b), PIMC management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of
the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of the Partnership's
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).
10
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. As required by
Rule 13a-15(d), PIMC management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Partnership's internal
control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred
during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change
during the quarter covered by this report.
