MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Certain statements in this annual report of AIRFUND International Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") that are not historical fact constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks and
uncertainties. 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 outcome of the Class
Action Lawsuit described in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements, the
remarketing of the Partnership's equipment, and the performance of the
Partnership's non-equipment assets.
OVERVIEW
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was organized to
acquire and lease a portfolio of commercial jet aircraft subject to lease
agreements with third parties. Upon its inception in 1989, the Partnership
purchased three used commercial jet aircraft and a proportionate interest in a
fourth aircraft, which were leased by major carriers engaged in passenger
transportation. Initially, each aircraft generated rental revenues pursuant to
primary-term lease agreements. In 1991, one of the Partnership's original
aircraft was sold to a third party and a portion of the sale proceeds was
reinvested in a proportionate interest in another aircraft. Currently all of the
aircraft in the Partnership's original portfolio have been re-leased, renewed,
exchanged for other aircraft, or sold. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's
equipment portfolio included proportionate ownership interest in three aircraft.
In addition, in 2000 the Partnership entered into a conditional sales agreement
related to its interest in an aircraft. Presently, the Partnership is a Nominal
Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly
alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and its future business
operations. See Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements. Pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the
"Restated Agreement, as amended"), the Partnership is scheduled to be dissolved
by December 31, 2004.
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") places restrictions on the
capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder.
The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services
industry, including equipment leasing and the loan to Echelon Residential
Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings"). The Partnership does not intend
to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would
require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the Act.
However, it is possible that the Partnership may unintentionally engage in an
activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the
Act. If the Partnership were to be determined to be an investment company, its
business would be adversely affected. If necessary, the Partnership intends to
avoid being deemed an investment company by disposing of or acquiring certain
assets that it might not otherwise dispose of or acquire.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recognized operating
lease revenue of $1,603,658 compared to $3,362,568 and $3,604,643 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in lease revenue
from 1999 to 2000 resulted primarily from the expiration of lease terms related
to the Partnership's interest in three Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft and a McDonnell
Douglas MD-82 aircraft, as discussed below. The decrease in lease revenues from
1998 to 1999 was primarily the result of the sale in April 1998 of the
Partnership's interest in a Lockhead L-1011-50 aircraft. The amount of operating
lease revenue in the near term will increase due to the re-lease of both the
McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft and one of the Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft in
September 2000. Subsequently, operating lease revenue is expected to decline due
to lease term expirations and aircraft sales. See discussion below related to
the Partnership's sales-type lease revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included assets
in which the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such
cases, the remaining interests are owned by an affiliated equipment
3
leasing program sponsored by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG").
Proportionate equipment ownership enabled the Partnership to further diversify
its equipment portfolio at inception by participating in the ownership of
selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could have
resulted from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee.
The Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
The lease terms related to the three Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft, in which the
Partnership held a proportionate interest, expired on December 31, 1999 and the
aircraft were stored pending their remarketing. In July 2000, one of the Boeing
737-2H4 aircraft was sold resulting in $846,496 of proceeds and a net gain, for
financial statement purposes, of $142,721 for the Partnership's proportional
interest in the aircraft. In September 2000, a second Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft
was re-leased with a lease term expiring in September 2003. Under the terms of
this re-lease agreement, the Partnership will receive rents of approximately
$1,172,000 over the term of the lease. The Partnership entered into a
conditional sales agreement to sell its interest in the remaining Boeing 737-2H4
aircraft as described below.
The lease term associated with a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft, in which
the Partnership holds an ownership interest, expired in January 2000. The
aircraft was re-leased in September 2000 to Aerovias de Mexico S.A. de C.V.,
with a lease term expiring in September 2004. Under the terms of this re-lease
agreement, the Partnership will receive rents of approximately $3,813,000 over
the term of the lease. The remaining McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft, in which
the Partnership owns an ownership interest, is currently on lease to Finnair OY
through April 2001.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $108,069 compared
to $161,232 and $165,479 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Interest income is generated principally from temporary
investments of rental receipts and equipment sale proceeds in short-term
instruments. The amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate as a
result of changing interest rates and the amount of cash available for
investment, among other factors. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership utilized
$1,800,000 of available cash for a loan to Echelon Residential Holdings. The
loan is presented in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with
the guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in February 1986 entitled "ADC
Arrangements", and therefore the Partnership does not recognize interest income
related to this loan. (See further discussion included in Note 4 to the
financial statements herein).
In October 2000, the Partnership and certain of its affiliates executed a
conditional sales agreement with Royal Aviation Inc. for the sale of the
Partnership's interest in a Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft. The title to the aircraft
transfers to Royal Aviation Inc., at the expiration of the lease term. The sale
of the aircraft has been recorded by the Partnership as a sales-type lease, with
a lease term expiring in January 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the
Partnership recorded a net gain on sale of equipment, for financial statement
purposes, of $302,878 for the Partnership's proportional interest in the
aircraft and recognized sales-type lease revenue of $8,248.
On April 29, 1998, at the expiration of the aircraft's lease term, the
Partnership sold its proportional interest in a Lockheed L-1011-50 aircraft,
formerly leased to Aer Lease Limited, to the lessee for net proceeds of
$846,300. The Partnership's interest in the aircraft had a net book value of
$658,282 at the time of sale, resulting in the recognition of a net gain on
sale, for financial statement purposes, of $188,018.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of aircraft will result in a
net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be
dependent upon the condition and type of aircraft being sold and their
marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss
reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for aircraft is dependent upon
many factors, including EFG's ability to sell and re-lease the aircraft.
Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances, and many
other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at any given
time. EFG attempts to monitor these changes and the airline industry in order to
identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which
will maximize total cash returns for each aircraft.
The total economic value realized for each aircraft is comprised of all
primary lease term revenue generated from that aircraft, together with its
residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
aircraft's
4
sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the aircraft
on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. Consequently, the amount of gain
or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of
the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the aircraft.
Interest expense was $344,016, $399,589 and $664,418 during the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest expense in near term
will increase as a result of the Partnership's debt refinancing in February
2001. (See Note 11 to the financial statements.) Subsequently, interest expense
will decline as the principal balance of notes payable is reduced through the
application of rent receipts to outstanding debt. See additional discussion
below regarding the refinancing of the debt in 2001.
Management fees were $87,443, $168,128, and $180,232 for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Management fees are based on 5%
of gross lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease
revenue generated by full payout leases.
Operating expenses were $1,823,804, $989,886 and $529,807 for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The primary reason for the
increase in operating expenses from 1999 to 2000 is storage, remarketing and
maintenance costs associated with the Partnership's aircraft. In 2000 and 1999,
the Partnership accrued approximately $492,000 and $664,000, respectively, for
the reconfiguration costs and completion of a D-Check incurred to facilitate the
remarketing of the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft released in September 2000.
In 2000, the Partnership also accrued approximately $664,000 for a required
D-check for a second McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft. Operating expenses in
2000, 1999 and 1998 also included approximately $41,000, $50,000 and $337,000,
respectively, related to the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 9 to the
financial statements. Other operating expenses consist principally of
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as insurance,
printing, distribution and other remarketing expenses. Depreciation expense was
$985,274, $2,054,872, and $2,152,360 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in
Echelon Residential Holdings was $136,626. The loss is reflected on the
Statement of Operations as "Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate
venture's loss." See further discussion below.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DISCUSSION OF CASH FLOWS
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity. The Partnership's
principal operating activities derive from aircraft rental transactions.
Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of cash from operations is
provided by the collection of periodic rents. These cash inflows are used to
satisfy debt service obligations associated with leveraged leases, and to pay
management fees and operating costs. Operating activities generated a net cash
outflow of $533,195 in 2000 and net cash inflows of $2,669,158, and $2,608,602
for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Overall, expenses associated with rental
activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities
will decline as the Partnership remarkets its aircraft. The Partnership,
however, may continue to incur significant costs to facilitate the successful
remarketing of its remaining aircraft in the future. Ultimately, the Partnership
will dispose of all aircraft under lease. This will occur through sale
transactions whereby each aircraft will be sold to the existing lessee or to a
third party. Generally, this will occur upon expiration of each aircraft's
renewal/re-lease term. The amount of future interest income is expected to
fluctuate as a result of changing interest rates and the level of cash available
for investment, among other factors.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. For the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Partnership realized net cash proceeds of $846,496 from
the sale of its interest in one of the Boeing 737-2H4. There were no aircraft
sales in 1999. In 1998, the Partnership realized proceeds of $846,300 from the
sale of its interest in the Lockheed L-1011-50 aircraft. Future inflows of cash
from aircraft disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by
many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease
expirations, the aircraft's condition and age, and future market conditions.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership was due aggregate future minimum
lease payments of $5,720,344 from contractual operating and sales-type lease
agreements (see Note 2 to the financial statements), a portion of which will be
used to amortize the principal balance of notes payable of $3,002,142 (see Note
7 to the financial statements). At the expiration of the individual lease terms
underlying the Partnership's future minimum lease payments, the Partnership will
sell its aircraft or enter re-lease or renewal agreements when considered
advantageous by the General Partner and EFG. Such future remarketing activities
will result in the realization of
5
additional cash inflows in the form of sale proceeds or rents from renewals and
re-leases, the timing and extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty.
This is because the timing and extent of remarketing events often is dependent
upon the needs and interests of the existing lessees. Some lessees may choose to
renew their lease contracts, while others may elect to return the aircraft. In
the latter instances, the aircraft could be re-leased to another lessee or sold
to a third party.
In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for a Class Action
Lawsuit described in Note 9 to the financial statements, the court permitted the
Partnership to invest in any new investment, including but not limited to new
equipment or other business activities, subject to certain limitations. On March
8, 2000, the Partnership loaned $1,800,000 to a newly formed real estate
company, Echelon Residential Holdings to finance the acquisition of real estate
assets by that company. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned
subsidiary ("Echelon Residential LLC"), used the loan proceeds, along with the
loan proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32
million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, an independent Florida-based real estate company.
Echelon Residential Holding's interest in Echelon Residential LLC is pledged
pursuant to a pledge agreement to the partnerships as collateral for the loans.
The loan has a term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual
interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months.
Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity.
As discussed in Note 4 to the Partnership's financial statements herein,
the loan is considered to be an investment in a real estate venture for
accounting purposes. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position
No. 78-9, "Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures", the Partnership
reports its share of income or loss of Echelon Residential Holdings under the
equity method of accounting.
The loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings is, and
will continue to be, subject to various risks, including the risk of default by
Echelon Residential Holdings, which could require the Partnership to foreclose
under the pledge agreement on its interests in Echelon Residential LLC. The
ability of Echelon Residential Holdings to make loan payments and the amount the
Partnership may realize after a default would be dependent upon the risks
generally associated with the real estate lending business including, without
limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties,
general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties,
interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and
demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations,
rent control laws and other governmental rules. A default by Echelon Residential
Holdings could have a material adverse effect on the future cash flow and
operating results of the Partnership.
The Restated Agreement, as amended, prohibits the Partnership from making
loans to the General Partner or its affiliates. Since the acquisition of the
several parcels of real estate from the owner had to occur prior to the
admission of certain independent third parties as equity owners, Echelon
Residential Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Echelon Residential LLC,
were formed in anticipation of their admission. The General Partner agreed to an
officer of the Manager serving as the initial equity holder of Echelon
Residential Holdings and as an unpaid manager. The officer made a $185,465
equity investment in Echelon Residential Holdings. His return on his equity
investment is restricted to the same rate of return as the partnerships realize
on their loans. There is a risk that the court may object to the general
partner's action in structuring the loan in this way and may require the
partnerships to restructure or divest the loan.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
aircraft. The origination of such indebtedness and the subsequent repayments of
principal are reported as components of financing activities in the
Partnership's Statement of Cash Flows. The corresponding note agreements are
recourse only to the specific aircraft financed and to the minimum rental
payments contracted to be received during the debt amortization period (which
generally coincides with the lease term). As rental payments are collected, a
portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay associated indebtedness.
In the near term, the amount of cash used to repay debt obligations will
increase due to the refinancing discussed below. Subsequently the amount of cash
used will decline as the principal balance of notes payable is reduced through
the collection and application of rents.
In February 2000, the Partnership and certain affiliated investment
programs (collectively, the "Programs") refinanced the indebtedness, which
matured in January 2000, associated with a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft
released in September 2000. In addition to refinancing the existing indebtedness
of $3,370,000, the Programs received additional debt proceeds of $1,350,000
required to perform a D-Check on the aircraft. The Partnership received $666,217
from such proceeds. The note had a fluctuating interest rate based on LIBOR plus
a margin
6
with interest payments due monthly. The Partnership's aggregate share of the
refinanced and new indebtedness was $2,320,824, which matured in August 2000.
The Partnership paid interest-only on the debt throughout 2000. In February
2001, the Programs refinanced the outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest
related to this aircraft. In addition to refinancing the Programs' total
existing indebtedness and accrued interest of $4,758,845, the Programs received
additional debt proceeds of $3,400,177. The Partnership's aggregate share of the
refinanced and new indebtedness was $4,011,791 including $2,339,924 used to
repay the existing indebtedness on the refinanced aircraft. The Partnership used
a portion of its share of the additional proceeds of $1,671,867 to repay the
outstanding balance of the indebtedness and accrued interest related to the
aircraft on lease to Finnair OY of $433,178 and certain aircraft reconfiguration
costs that the Partnership had accrued at December 31, 2000. The new
indebtedness bears a fixed interest rate of 7.65%, principal is amortized
monthly and the Partnership has a balloon payment obligation at the expiration
of the lease term of $1,337,875 in September 2004.
There are no formal restrictions under the Restated Agreement, as amended,
that materially limit the Partnership's ability to pay cash distributions,
except that the General Partner may suspend or limit cash distributions to
ensure that the Partnership maintains sufficient working capital reserves to
cover, among other things, operating costs and potential expenditures, such as
refurbishment costs to remarket aircraft upon lease expiration. In addition to
the need for funds in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, liquidity is
especially important as the Partnership matures and sells aircraft, because the
remaining aircraft portfolio consists of fewer revenue-producing assets that are
available to cover prospective cash disbursements. Insufficient liquidity could
inhibit the Partnership's ability to sustain its operations or maximize the
realization of proceeds from remarketing its remaining aircraft.
The management and remarketing of aircraft can involve, among other things,
significant costs and lengthy remarketing initiatives. Although the
Partnership's lessees are required to maintain the aircraft during the period of
lease contract, repair, maintenance, and/or refurbishment costs at lease
expiration can be substantial. For example, an aircraft that is returned to the
Partnership meeting minimum airworthiness standards, such as flight hours or
engine cycles, nonetheless may require heavy maintenance in order to bring its
engines, airframe and other hardware up to standards that will permit its
prospective use in commercial air transportation.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included
ownership interests in three commercial jet aircraft, one of which is a Boeing
737 aircraft. The Boeing 737 aircraft is a Stage 2 aircraft, meaning that it is
prohibited from operating in the United States unless it is retro-fitted with
hush-kits to meet Stage 3 noise regulations promulgated by the Federal Aviation
Administration. During 2000, the aircraft was re-leased to Air Slovakia BWJ,
Ltd. through September 2003.The remaining two aircraft in the Partnership's
portfolio already are Stage 3 compliant. These aircraft have lease terms
expiring in April 2001 and September 2004, respectively.
The Partnership's capital account balances for federal income tax and for
financial reporting purposes are different primarily due to differing treatments
of income and expense items for income tax purposes in comparison to financial
reporting purposes (generally referred to as permanent or timing differences;
see Note 8 to the financial statements). For instance, selling commissions and
organization and offering costs pertaining to syndication of the Partnership's
limited partnership units are not deductible for federal income tax purposes,
but are recorded as a reduction of partners' capital for financial reporting
purposes. Therefore, such differences are permanent differences between capital
accounts for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Other
differences between the bases of capital accounts for federal income tax and
financial reporting purposes occur due to timing differences consisting of the
cumulative difference between income or loss for tax purposes and financial
statement income or loss. The principal components of the cumulative difference
between financial statement income or loss and tax income or loss result from
different depreciation policies for book and tax purposes and different
treatment for book and tax purposes related to the real estate venture.
For financial reporting purposes, the General Partner has accumulated a
capital deficit at December 31, 2000. This is the result of aggregate cash
distributions to the General Partner being in excess of its capital contribution
of $1,000 and its allocation of financial statement net income or loss.
Ultimately, the existence of a capital deficit for the General Partner for
financial reporting purposes is not indicative of any further capital
obligations to the Partnership by the General Partner. The Restated Agreement,
as amended, requires that upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General
Partner will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to any
negative balance which may exist in the General Partner's tax capital account.
At December 31, 2000, the General Partner had a positive tax capital account
balance.
7
In any given year, it is possible that Recognized Owners 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 Recognized Owners
adequate to cover any tax obligation.
The Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit described
in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements. The proposed settlement to
that lawsuit, if effected, will materially change the future organizational
structure and business interests of the Partnership, as well as its cash
distribution policies. In addition, the General Partner will continue to suspend
the payment of quarterly cash distributions pending final resolution of the
Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly, future cash distributions are not expected to
be paid until the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Partners of AIRFUND International Limited Partnership:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of AIRFUND
International Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. The consolidated financial statements of Echelon Residential
Holdings LLC, (a limited liability company to which the Partnership has loaned
$1,800,000), have been audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us; insofar as our opinion on the financial statements relates to data
included for Echelon Residential Holdings LLC, it is based solely on their
report.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of AIRFUND International Limited Partnership at December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The Additional Financial Information
identified in the Index to Annual Report to the Partners is presented for

AIRFUND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
AIRFUND International Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized
as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act
(the "Uniform Act") on January 31, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing
to third parties a specified portfolio of used commercial aircraft. Partners'
capital initially consisted of contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner
(AFG Aircraft Management Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation) and $100 from
the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation). On July 26, 1989, the Partnership issued 3,040,000 units
representing assignments of limited partnership interests (the "Units") to 4,147
investors. Unitholders and Limited Partners (other than the Initial Limited
Partner) are collectively referred to as Recognized Owners. The General Partner
is an affiliate of Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership (formerly known as
American Finance Group), a Massachusetts limited partnership ("EFG"). The common
stock of the General Partner is owned by AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership, of
which EFG and a wholly-owned affiliate are the 99% limited partners and AFG
Programs, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation which is wholly-owned by Geoffrey A.
MacDonald, is the 1% general partner. The capital contribution of the General
Partner, in consideration of its general partner interests, was $1,000. The
General Partner is not required to make any other capital contributions except
as may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Amended and
Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated
Agreement, as amended").
Significant operations commenced on July 27, 1989 when the Partnership made
its initial equipment purchase. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as amended,
Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings will be allocated 95% to the Recognized Owners and 5% to the
General Partner for the life of the Partnership.
Under the terms of a Management Agreement between the Partnership and EFG,
management services are provided by EFG to the Partnership at fees which the
General Partner believes to be competitive for similar services (see Note 6).
EFG is a Massachusetts partnership formerly known as American Finance Group
("AFG"). AFG was established in 1988 as a Massachusetts general partnership and
succeeded American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation organized in
1980. EFG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are engaged in
various aspects of the equipment leasing business, including EFG's role as
Equipment Manager or Advisor to the Partnership and several other
direct-participation equipment leasing programs sponsored or co-sponsored by EFG
(the "Other Investment Programs"). The Company arranges to broker or originate
equipment leases, acts as remarketing agent and asset manager, and provides
leasing support services, such as billing, collecting, and asset tracking.
The general partner of EFG, with a 1% controlling interest, is Equis
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation owned and controlled entirely by Gary
D. Engle, its President, Chief Executive Officer and sole Director. Equis
Corporation also owns a controlling 1% general partner interest in EFG's 99%
limited partner, GDE Acquisition Limited Partnership ("GDE LP"). Equis
Corporation and GDE LP were established in December 1994 by Mr. Engle for the
sole purpose of acquiring the business of AFG.
In January 1996, the Company sold certain assets of AFG relating primarily
to the business of originating new leases, and the name "American Finance
Group", and its acronym, to a third party. AFG changed its name to Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership after the sale was concluded. Pursuant to
terms of the sale agreements, EFG specifically reserved the rights to continue
using the name American Finance Group and its acronym in connection with the
Partnership and the Other Investment Programs and to continue managing all
assets owned by the Partnership and the Other Investment Programs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
In 1990, EFG assigned its Equipment Management Agreement with the
Partnership to AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership, and AF/AIP Programs Limited
Partnership entered into an identical management agreement with EFG.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH
The Partnership considers liquid investment instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the
Partnership invests excess cash with large institutional banks in federal agency
discount notes and in repurchase agreements with overnight maturities. Under the
terms of the agreements, title to the underlying securities passes to the
Partnership. The securities underlying the agreements are book entry securities.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had $1,328,334 invested in federal agency
discount notes, repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or
interests in U.S. Government securities, or other highly liquid overnight
investments.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Effective January 1, 2000, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
Securities Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"). SAB No. 101 provides
guidance for the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 101 had no impact on the
Partnership's financial statements.
Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly or quarterly and no
significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time.
The majority of the leases are accounted for as operating leases and are
noncancellable. Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred. See also
Note 9 regarding the Class Action Lawsuit. Future minimum rents for operating
leases of $4,874,642 are due as follows:
For the year ending December 31, 2001 $ 1,627,316
2002................ 1,364,256
2003................ 1,234,026
2004................ 649,044
--------------
Total............... $ 4,874,642
==============
Lease payments for the sales-type lease are due monthly and the related
revenue is recognized by a method which produces a constant periodic rate of
return on the outstanding investment in the lease. Future minimum lease payments
for the sales-type lease of $845,702 are due in the year ending December 31,
2001.
Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as
follows:

AIRFUND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
EQUIPMENT ON LEASE
All aircraft were acquired from EFG or one of its Affiliates. Equipment
Cost means the actual cost paid by the Partnership to acquire the aircraft,
including acquisition fees. Equipment Cost reflect the actual price paid for the
aircraft by EFG or the Affiliate plus all actual costs incurred by EFG or the
Affiliate while carrying the aircraft less, the amount of all interim rents
received by EFG or the Affiliate prior to selling the aircraft.
DEPRECIATION
The Partnership's depreciation policy is intended to allocate the cost of
aircraft over the period during which they produce economic benefit. The
principal period of economic benefit is considered to correspond to each
aircraft's primary lease term, which term generally represents the period of
greatest revenue potential for each aircraft. Accordingly, to the extent that an
aircraft is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the
difference between (i) the cost of the aircraft and (ii) the estimated residual
value of the aircraft on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of
this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of aircraft values at
the date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that an aircraft is held
beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the
remaining net book value of the aircraft on a straight-line basis over the
aircraft's remaining economic life. Periodically, the General Partner evaluates
the net carrying value of each aircraft to determine whether it exceeds
estimated net realizable value. Adjustments to reduce the net carrying value of
aircraft are recorded in those instances where estimated net realizable value is
considered to be less than net carrying value.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any aircraft is dependent
upon many factors, including EFG's ability to sell and re-lease equipment.
Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances, and many
other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at any given
time.
REAL ESTATE LOAN
The Partnership accounts for the loan to a real estate company using the
guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") in February 1986 entitled
"ADC Arrangements" (the "Third Notice"). The Partnership has evaluated this loan
and has determined that real estate accounting is appropriate. This
determination affects the Partnership's balance sheet classification of the loan
and the recognition of revenues derived therefrom. The Third Notice was issued
to address those real estate acquisition, development and construction
arrangements where a lender has virtually the same risk and potential rewards as
those of owners or joint ventures. Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 86-21,
"Application of the AICPA Notice to Practitioners regarding Acquisition,
Development and Construction Arrangements to Acquisition of an Operating
Property" expanded the applicability of the Third Notice to entities other than
financial institutions.
Based on the applicability of the Third Notice, EITF 86-21 and
consideration of the economic substance of the transaction, the loan is
considered to be an investment in a real estate venture for accounting purposes.
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 78-9, "Accounting
for Investments in Real Estate Ventures", the Partnership reports its share of
income or loss of the real estate company under the equity method of accounting.
16
AIRFUND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
NET INVESTMENT IN SALES-TYPE LEASE
For leases that qualify as sales-type leases, the Partnership recognizes
profit or loss at lease inception to the extent the fair value of the property
leased differs from the carrying value. For balance sheet purposes, the
aggregate lease payments receivable are recorded on the balance sheet net of
unearned income as net investment in sales-type lease. Unearned income is
recognized as sales-type lease revenue over the lease term on the interest
method.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The carrying value of long-lived assets, including equipment and the real estate
loan, will be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the recorded value cannot be recovered from
undiscounted future cash flows.
ACCRUED LIABILITIES - AFFILIATE
Unpaid operating expenses paid by EFG on behalf of the Partnership and
accrued but unpaid administrative charges and management fees are reported as
Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate (see Note 6).
CONTINGENCIES
It is the Partnership's policy to recognize a liability for goods and
services during the period when the goods or services are received. To the
extent that the Partnership has a contingent liability, meaning generally a
liability the payment of which is subject to the outcome of a future event, the
Partnership recognizes a liability in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 5 "Accounting for Contingencies" ("SFAS No. 5"). SFAS
No. 5 requires the recognition of contingent liabilities when the amount of
liability can be reasonably estimated and the liability is probable.
The Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit. In 1998,
a settlement proposal to resolve that litigation was negotiated and remains
pending (See Note 9). The Partnership's estimated exposure for costs anticipated
to be incurred in pursuing the settlement proposal is approximately $428,000
consisting principally of legal fees and other professional service costs. These
costs are expected to be incurred regardless of whether the proposed settlement
ultimately is effected and, therefore, the Partnership expensed approximately
$337,000 of these costs in 1998 following the Court's approval of the settlement
plan. The cost estimate is subject to change and is monitored by the General
Partner based upon the progress of the settlement proposal and other pertinent
information. As a result, the Partnership expensed additional amounts of
approximately $41,000 and $50,000 for such costs during 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
For financial statement purposes, net income or loss is allocated to each
Partner according to their respective ownership percentages (95% to the
Recognized Owners and 5% to the General Partner). See Note 8 concerning
allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT
Net income (loss) per unit is based on 3,040,000 Units outstanding during
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 and computed after
allocation of the General Partner's 5% share of net income (loss) per unit.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
No provision or benefit from income taxes is included in the accompanying
financial statements. The Partners are responsible for reporting their
proportionate shares of the Partnership's taxable income or loss and other tax
attributes on their separate tax returns.

The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at December
31, 2000. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the number of
months remaining from December 31, 2000 under contracted lease terms. In the
opinion of EFG, the acquisition cost of the equipment did not exceed its fair
market value.

=================
The cost of each of the Partnership's aircraft represents proportionate
ownership interests. The remaining interests are owned by other affiliated
partnerships sponsored by EFG. All Partnerships individually report, in
proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective shares of
assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the aircraft.
Certain of the Partnership's aircraft and the related lease payment streams
were used to secure the Partnership's term loans with third-party lenders. The
preceding summary includes leveraged equipment having an aggregate original cost
of approximately $13,762,000 and a net book value of approximately $9,182,000 at
December 31, 2000. (See Note 7).
The Partnership entered into a three-year release agreement with Air
Slovakia for its proportionate interest in a Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft, effective
September 2000. Under the terms of this agreement, the Partnership will receive
rents of approximately $1,172,000 over the term of the lease. The Partnership
entered into a four-year re-lease agreement with Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de
C.V. for its proportionate interest in a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft,
effective September 2000. Under the terms of this agreement, the Partnership
will receive rents of approximately $3,873,000 over the term of the lease.
Generally, the costs associated with maintaining, insuring and operating
the Partnership's aircraft are incurred by the respective lessees pursuant to
terms specified in their individual lease agreements with the Partnership.
However, the Partnership has purchased supplemental insurance coverage to reduce
the economic risk arising from certain losses. Specifically, the Partnership is
insured under supplemental policies for "Aircraft Hull Total Loss Only" and
"Aircraft Hull Total Loss Only War and Other Perils."
As aircraft are sold to third parties, or otherwise disposed of, the
Partnership recognizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the net
book value of the aircraft at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds
realized upon sale or disposition. The ultimate realization of estimated
residual value in the aircraft is dependent upon, among other things, EFG's
ability to maximize proceeds from selling or re-leasing the aircraft. At
December 31, 2000, all of the Partnership's aircraft were subject to contracted
lease agreements.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE VENTURE
On March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the
"Exchange Partnerships") collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential
Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings"), a newly formed real estate
company. Echelon Residential Holdings is owned by several investors, including
James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. In addition, certain affiliates
of the General Partner made loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their
individual capacities.
The Partnership's participation in the loan is $1,800,000. Echelon
Residential Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential
LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, a Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a
term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual interest rate of
14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues
and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with the
transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in all
of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in Echelon
Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral.
The loan is presented in accordance with the guidance for ADC Arrangements
as described in Note 2, "Real Estate Loans", in the Partnership's financial
statements as of and for the year December 31, 2000. The loan is accounted for
as an investment in real estate venture and is presented net of the
Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings. For the period
ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon
Residential Holdings was $136,626 and is reflected on the Statement of
Operations as "Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's
loss."
The summarized financial information for Echelon Residential Holdings as of
December 31, 2000 and for the period March 8, 2000 (commencement of operations)
through December 31, 2000 is as follows:
Total assets......................................... $ 68,580,891

Net loss............................................. $ (6,706,026)
NOTE 5 - NET INVESTMENT IN SALES-TYPE LEASE
The Partnership's net investment in a sales-type lease is the result of the
conditional sale of the Partnership's proportionate interest in a Boeing 737
aircraft executed in October 2000. The title to the aircraft transfers to Royal
Aviation Inc., at the expiration of the lease term. The sale of the aircraft has
been recorded by the Partnership as a sales-type lease, with a lease term
expiring in January 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership
recorded a net gain on sale of equipment, for financial statement purposes, of
$302,878 for the Partnership's proportional interest in the aircraft and
recognized sales-type lease revenue of $8,248. The net book value of equipment
sold on sales-type lease totaled $982,659, which was a non-cash transaction. At
December 31, 2000, the components of the net investment in the sales-type lease

As provided under the terms of the Management Agreement, EFG is compensated
for its services to the Partnership. Such services include acquisition and
management of equipment. For acquisition services, EFG was compensated by an
amount equal to 1.6% of Equipment Base Price paid by the Partnership. For
management services, EFG is compensated by an amount equal to 5% of gross
operating lease rental revenues and 2% of gross full payout lease rental
revenues received by the Partnership. Both acquisition and management fees are
subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement.
Administrative charges represent amounts owed to EFG, pursuant to Section
10.4 of the Restated Agreement, as amended, for persons employed by EFG who are
engaged in providing administrative services to the Partnership. Reimbursable
operating expenses due to third parties represent costs paid by EFG on behalf of
the Partnership which are reimbursed to EFG at actual cost.
All aircraft were purchased from EFG or one of its Affiliates. The
Partnership's acquisition cost was determined by the method described in Note 2,
"Equipment on Lease."
All rents and the proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either EFG or to a lender. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership was owed $110,767 by EFG for such funds
and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in
January 2001.

NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable at December 31, 2000 consisted of two installment notes
payable to banks of $3,002,142. One installment note bears an interest rate of
8.225% and the other bears a fluctuating interest rate based on LIBOR
(approximately 6.7% at December 31, 2000) plus a margin. Both of the
installment notes are non-recourse and are collateralized by the equipment and
assignment of the related lease payments. The Partnership had a balloon payment
obligation due at the expiration of the lease term related to an aircraft leased
to Finnair OY. This indebtedness was due to mature in 2001. In addition, the
Partnership had a balloon payment obligation of $2,320,824, which matured in
August 2000. The Partnership paid interest-only on this debt through 2000 and in
February 2001, the Partnership and certain affiliated investment programs
refinanced this indebtedness and repaid the outstanding indebtedness related to
the Finnair OY aircraft. See Note 11, "Subsequent Event", regarding this
refinancing.
Management believes that the carrying amount of notes payable approximates
fair value at December 31, 2000 based on its experience and understanding of the
market for instruments with similar terms.
The annual maturities of the installment notes payable at December 31,
2000, reflecting the maturity of the notes in consideration of the February 2001
refinancing discussed in Note 11, "Subsequent Event", are as follows:
For the year ending December 31, 2001....... $ 356,625

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accounts of
the Partnership. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership allocates net
income or loss to each class of partner according to their respective ownership
percentages (95% to the Recognized Owners and 5% to the General Partner). The
allocation of net income or loss for financial statement purposes differs from
the net income or loss allocation requirements for income tax and Dissolution
Event purposes, as delineated in the Restated Agreement, as amended. For income
tax purposes, the Partnership allocates net income or net loss in accordance
with the provisions of such agreement. The Restated Agreement, as amended,
requires that upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner will be
required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to any negative
balance, which may exist in the General Partner's tax capital account. At
December 31, 2000, the General Partner had a positive tax capital account
balance.

NOTE 9 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In January 1998, certain plaintiffs (the "Plaintiffs") filed a class and
derivative action, captioned LEONARD ROSENBLUM, ET AL. V. EQUIS FINANCIAL GROUP
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, ET AL., in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida (the "Court") on behalf of a proposed class of
investors in 28 equipment leasing programs sponsored by EFG, including the
Partnership (collectively, the "Nominal Defendants"), against EFG and a number
of its affiliates, including the General Partner, as defendants (collectively,
the "Defendants"). Certain of the Plaintiffs, on or about June 24, 1997, had
filed an earlier derivative action, captioned LEONARD ROSENBLUM, ET AL. V. EQUIS
FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, ET AL., in the Superior Court of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on behalf of the Nominal Defendants against the
Defendants. Both actions are referred to herein collectively as the "Class
Action Lawsuit".
The Plaintiffs have asserted, among other things, claims against the
Defendants on behalf of the Nominal Defendants for violations of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, common law fraud, breach of contract, breach of
22
AIRFUND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
fiduciary duty, and violations of the partnership or trust agreements that
govern each of the Nominal Defendants. The Defendants have denied, and continue
to deny, that any of them have committed or threatened to commit any violations
of law or breached any fiduciary duties to the Plaintiffs or the Nominal
Defendants.
On July 16, 1998, counsel for the Defendants and the Plaintiffs executed a
Stipulation of Settlement setting forth terms pursuant to which a settlement of
the Class Action Lawsuit is intended to be achieved and which, among other
things, is expected to reduce the burdens and expenses attendant to continuing
litigation. The Stipulation of Settlement was preliminarily approved by the
Court on August 20, 1998 when the Court issued its "Order Preliminarily
Approving Settlement, Conditionally Certifying Settlement Class and Providing
for Notice of, and Hearing on, the Proposed Settlement" (the "August 20 Order").
On March 12, 1999, counsel for the Plaintiffs and the Defendants entered
into an amended stipulation of settlement (the "Amended Stipulation") which was
filed with the Court on March 12, 1999. The Amended Stipulation was
preliminarily approved by the Court by its "Modified Order Preliminarily
Approving Settlement, Conditionally Certifying Settlement Class and Providing
For Notice of, and Hearing On, the Proposed Settlement" dated March 22, 1999
(the "March 22 Order"). The Amended Stipulation, among other things, divided the
Class Action Lawsuit into two separate sub-classes that could be settled
individually. On May 26, 1999, the Court issued an Order and Final Judgment
approving settlement of one of the sub-classes. Settlement of the second
sub-class, involving the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships
(collectively referred to as the "Exchange Partnerships"), remains pending due,
in part, to the complexity of the proposed settlement pertaining to this class.
In February 2000, counsel for the Plaintiffs and the Defendants entered
into a second amended stipulation of settlement (the "Second Amended
Stipulation") which modified certain of the settlement terms contained in the
Amended Stipulation. The Second Amended Stipulation was preliminarily approved
by the Court by its "Second Modified Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement,
Conditionally Certifying Settlement Class and Providing For Notice of, and
Hearing On, the Proposed Settlement" dated March 6, 2000 (the "March 2000
Order"). Prior to issuing a final order approving the settlement of the second
sub-class involving the Partnership, the Court will hold a fairness hearing that
will be open to all interested parties and permit any party to object to the
settlement. The investors of the Partnership and all other plaintiff sub-class
members will receive a Notice of Settlement and other information pertinent to
the settlement of their claims that will be mailed to them in advance of the
fairness hearing.
The settlement of the second sub-class is premised on the consolidation of
the Exchange Partnerships' net assets (the "Consolidation"), subject to certain
conditions, into a single successor company ("Newco"). Under the proposed
Consolidation, the partners of the Exchange Partnerships would receive both
common stock in Newco and a cash distribution; and thereupon the Exchange
Partnerships would be dissolved. In addition, EFG would contribute certain
management contracts, operations personnel, and business opportunities to Newco
and cancel its current management contracts with all of the Exchange
Partnerships. Newco would operate principally as a finance company and would use
its best efforts to list its shares on the NASDAQ National Market or another
national exchange or market as soon after the Consolidation as Newco deems that
market conditions and its business operations are suitable for listing its
shares and Newco has satisfied all necessary regulatory and listing
requirements. The potential benefits and risks of the Consolidation will be
presented in a Solicitation Statement that will be mailed to all of the partners
of the Exchange Partnerships as soon as the associated regulatory review process
is completed and at least 60 days prior to the fairness hearing. A preliminary
Solicitation Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 24, 1998 and remains pending. Class members will be notified of the
actual fairness hearing date when it is confirmed.
One of the principal objectives of the Consolidation is to create a company
that would have the potential to generate more value for the benefit of existing
limited partners than other alternatives, including continuing the Partnership's
customary business operations until all of its assets are disposed in the
ordinary course of business. To facilitate the realization of this objective,
the Amended Stipulation provided, among other things, that commencing March 22,
1999, the Exchange Partnerships could collectively invest up to 40% of the total
aggregate
23
AIRFUND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
net asset values of all of the Exchange Partnerships in any investment,
including additional equipment and other business activities that the general
partners of the Exchange Partnerships and EFG reasonably believed to be
consistent with the anticipated business interests and objectives of Newco,
subject to certain limitations. The Second Amended Stipulation, among other
things, quantified the 40% limitation using a whole dollar amount of $32 million
in the aggregate.
On March 8, 2000, the Exchange Partnerships collectively made a $32 million
loan as permitted by the Second Amended Stipulation approved by the Court. The
Partnership's portion of the aggregate loan is $1,800,000. The loan consists of
a term loan to Echelon Residential Holdings, a newly-formed real estate company
that is owned by several independent investors and, in his individual capacity,
James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. In addition, certain affiliates
of the General Partner made loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their
individual capacities. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned
subsidiary ("Echelon Residential LLC"), used the loan proceeds, along with the
loan proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32
million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, an independent Florida-based real estate company. The
loan has a term of 30 months maturing on September 8, 2002 and bears interest at
the annual rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months
of the term. Interest accrues and compounds monthly but is not payable until
maturity. Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged its membership interests in
Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral for the loan.
In the absence of the Court's authorization to enter into new investment
activities, the Partnership's Restated Agreement, as amended, would not permit
such activities without the approval of limited partners owning a majority of
the Partnership's outstanding Units. Consistent with the Amended Stipulation,
the Second Amended Stipulation provides terms for unwinding any new investment
transactions in the event that the Consolidation is not effected or the
Partnership objects to its participation in the Consolidation.
The Second Amended Stipulation, as well as the Amended Stipulation and the
original Stipulation of Settlement, prescribe certain conditions necessary to
effect a final settlement, including providing the partners of the Exchange
Partnerships with the opportunity to object to the participation of their
partnership in the Consolidation. Assuming the proposed settlement is effected
according to present terms, the Partnership's share of legal fees and expenses
related to the Class Action Lawsuit and the Consolidation is estimated to be
approximately $428,000, of which approximately $337,000 was expensed by the
Partnership in 1998 and additional amounts of approximately $41,000 and $50,000
were expensed in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
While the Court's August 20 Order enjoined certain class members, including
all of the partners of the Partnership, from transferring, selling, assigning,
giving, pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise disposing of any Units pending the
Court's final determination of whether the settlement should be approved, the
March 22 Order permitted the partners to transfer Units to family members or as
a result of the divorce, disability or death of the partner. No other transfers
are permitted pending the Court's final determination of whether the settlement
should be approved. The provision of the August 20 Order which enjoined the
General Partners of the Exchange Partnerships from, among other things,
recording any transfers not in accordance with the Court's order remains
effective.
There can be no assurance that settlement of the sub-class involving the
Exchange Partnerships will receive final Court approval and be effected. There
also can be no assurance that all or any of the Exchange Partnerships will
participate in the Consolidation because if limited partners owning more than
one-third of the outstanding Units of a partnership object to the Consolidation,
then that partnership will be excluded from the Consolidation. Notwithstanding
the extent of delays experienced thus far in achieving a final settlement of the
Class Action Lawsuit with respect to the Exchange Partnerships, the General
Partner and its affiliates, in consultation with counsel, continue to feel that
there is a reasonable basis to believe that a final settlement of the sub-class
involving the Exchange Partnerships ultimately will be achieved. However, in the
absence of a final settlement approved by the Court, the Defendants intend to
defend vigorously against the claims asserted in the Class Action
24

Lawsuit. Neither the General Partner nor its affiliates can predict with any
degree of certainty the cost of continuing litigation to the Partnership or the
ultimate outcome.

and accrued interest related to an aircraft on lease to Aerovias de Mexico, S.A.
de C.V. In addition to refinancing the Programs' total existing indebtedness and
accrued interest of $4,758,845, the Programs received additional debt proceeds
of $3,400,177. The Partnership's aggregate share of the refinanced and new
indebtedness was $4,011,791 including $2,339,924 used to repay the existing
indebtedness on the refinanced aircraft. The Partnership used a portion of its
share of the additional proceeds of $1,671,867 to repay the outstanding balance
of the indebtedness and accrued interest related to the aircraft on lease to
Finnair OY of $433,178 and certain aircraft reconfiguration costs that the
Partnership had accrued at December 31, 2000. The new indebtedness bears a fixed
interest rate of 7.65%, principal is amortized monthly and the Partnership has a
balloon payment obligation at the expiration of the lease term of $1,337,875 in
September 2004.

AIRFUND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
SCHEDULE OF EXCESS (DEFICIENCY) OF TOTAL CASH GENERATED TO COST
OF EQUIPMENT DISPOSED
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998
The Partnership classifies all rents from leasing aircraft as lease
revenue. Upon expiration of the primary lease terms, aircraft may be sold,
rented on a month-to-month basis or re-leased for a defined period under a new
or extended lease agreement. The proceeds generated from selling or re-leasing
the aircraft, in addition to any month-to-month revenue, represent the total
residual value realized for each aircraft. Therefore, the financial statement
gain or loss, which reflects the difference between the net book value of the
aircraft at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds realized upon sale
or disposition may not reflect the aggregate residual proceeds realized by the
Partnership for such aircraft.
The following is a summary of the cash excess (deficiency) associated with
the aircraft dispositions which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2000 and
1998. There were no aircraft disposals during the year ended December 31, 1999.
