INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
(UNAUDITED)
A. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2004
presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2004. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in International Lease Finance Corporation's ("the
Company") annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
B. HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company uses derivatives to manage exposures to interest rate and
foreign currency risks. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the
Company recorded the following in earnings.
Income (loss) related to derivative instruments:
Fair value of non-hedging instruments $(662)
Ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges 892
-----
$ 230
=====
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, $15,210 (net) was
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest
expense when interest was paid or received on the Company's cash flow
hedges. The Company estimates that within the next twelve months it will
amortize into earnings approximately $52.9 million of the pre-tax balance
in other comprehensive income under cash flow hedge accounting in
connection with the Company's program to convert debt from floating to
fixed rates.
C. FLIGHT EQUIPMENT MARKETING - SECURITIZATION
The Company sold 34 aircraft to a trust during the first quarter of
2004 for approximately $1.0 billion. The transaction was a securitization,
in which the trust acquired the aircraft based on values assigned by
independent appraisers. The first 26 aircraft were transferred as of March
31, 2004. The securitization requires the remaining eight aircraft to be
transferred before September 30, 2004. Other assets include $250,924
receivable from the trust. The trust is included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company's parent. The trust is not consolidated
by the Company. Further, an unaffiliated third party acted as capital
markets advisor. Gains in the amount of $25.6 million, net of fees and
expenses, related to the transaction are included in Flight Equipment
Marketing - Securitization for the period ended March 31, 2004. The Company
will continue to manage the aircraft sold to the trust for a fee.

statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any
revisions to these statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
International Lease Finance Corporation ("the Company", "we", "our",
"us") primarily acquires new jet transport aircraft from Boeing and Airbus and
leases these aircraft to airlines throughout the world. In addition to this
leasing activity, we sell aircraft from our leased aircraft fleet to other
leasing companies, financial services companies and airlines. In some cases, we
provide fleet management services to companies with aircraft portfolios for a
management fee. We have also provided asset value guarantees and loan guarantees
to the buyers of aircraft or to financial institutions for a fee. We also
remarket and sell aircraft owned or managed by others for a fee.
As of March 31, 2004, we owned 619 aircraft, had eight aircraft in the
fleet that were classified as finance leases, and provided fleet management
services for 103 aircraft. We have contracted with Airbus and Boeing to buy 408
new aircraft for delivery through 2010 with an estimated purchase price of $24.2
billion, 54 of which will deliver during the remainder of 2004.
Our primary source of revenue is from operating leases. One measure of
profitability we use is a ratio called lease margin, which is calculated using
lease revenue minus total expenses divided by lease revenue. Lease margins have
contracted over the last two years as a result of higher incidents of
restructurings of leases with troubled airlines, repossessions of aircraft from
lessees, and lower lease rates negotiated during the downturn of the airline
industry and still in effect at March 31, 2004. The market lease rate for
aircraft decreased as excess aircraft were available from airlines with reduced
capacity, idled aircraft and airlines which ceased operations over the past two
years. The airline industry has been faced with many challenges such as higher
fuel costs, terrorism and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"), among
others. We believe the airline industry is improving and lease rates will
recover over a period of prolonged economic recovery. Recent market trends
indicate a modest increase in lease rates for the most desirable Airbus and
Boeing twin engine single aisle and wide body aircraft for placements beginning
in the second half of 2004 and beyond. Airline passenger and cargo traffic
worldwide has exhibited measured growth since late 2003. If such traffic growth
can be sustained, it should benefit the economic recovery of the commercial
airline industry. We believe we are well positioned in the current industry
environment with signed lease agreements for all of our 2004 deliveries of new
aircraft. There is, however, a lag between changes in market conditions and
their impact on our results, as contracts that are signed during times of lower
lease rates are still in effect as the market lease rates rise. Therefore, the
improvement in the airlines industry has yet to be completely reflected in our
financial performance.
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, as
described below and in the section titled "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk".
We operate as a supplier and financier to airlines. The risks affecting our
airline customers are generally out of our control and impact our customers to
varying degrees. As a result, we are indirectly impacted by all the risks facing
airlines today. Our ability to succeed is dependent on the financial strength of
our customers. Our customers' ability to compete effectively in the market place
and manage these risks has a direct impact on us. Risks directly or indirectly
affecting our business include:
- Overall Airline Industry Risk
- Demand for air travel - Insurance costs
- Competition between carriers - Security, terrorism and war
- Fuel prices and availability - Health concerns
- Labor costs and stoppages - Equity and borrowing capacity
- Maintenance costs - Environmental concerns
- Employee labor contracts - Government regulation
- Air traffic control - Interest rates
infrastructure constraints

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- Manufacturer Risk
- Borrowing Risks
- Liquidity
- Interest Rate
- Other Risks
- Residual Value
- Obsolescence
- Key Personnel
For a detailed discussion of risk factors affecting us, see "Item 7,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and
results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis,
the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue,
depreciation, overhaul reserves, and contingencies. The Company bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies can have a
significant impact on our results of operations, financial position and
financial statement disclosures and require the most difficult, subjective and
complex estimates and judgments:
- Lease Revenue
- Flight Equipment Marketing
- Flight Equipment
- Capitalized Interest
- Provision for Overhauls
For a detailed discussion on the application of these accounting
policies, see "Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2003.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company borrows funds to purchase new and used flight equipment,
including funds for progress payments during the construction phase, and to pay
off maturing debt obligations. These funds are borrowed principally on an
unsecured basis from various sources. During the three months ended March 31,
2004, the Company borrowed $862.7 million (excluding commercial paper) and
$607.6 million was provided by operating activities. As of March 31, 2004, the
Company has committed to purchase 408 new aircraft from Airbus and Boeing and 11
used aircraft from airlines at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $24.5
billion for delivery through 2010 and holds options to purchase 11 additional
new aircraft at an estimated aggregate purchase price of approximately $704.8
million. The Company currently expects to fund expenditures for aircraft, and to
meet its liquidity needs, from a combination of available cash balances,
internally generated funds and financing arrangements. The Company continues to
explore new funding sources and ways to diversify its investor base. The
Company's debt financing and capital lease obligations were comprised of the
following at the following dates:
March 31, December 31,
2004 2003
------------ ------------
(Dollars in thousands)
Public term debt with single maturities $ 10,963,275 $ 10,663,275
Public medium-term notes with varying maturities 5,964,977 5,960,236
Capital lease obligations 125,396 143,254
Synthetic lease obligations 458,727 464,222

lease obligations 20,520,527 20,301,107
Commercial paper 1,856,570 1,575,957
Deferred debt discount (26,786) (24,321)
------------ ------------
Total debt financing and capital lease obligations $ 22,350,311 $ 21,852,743
============ ============
Selected interest rates and ratio:
Composite interest rate 4.34% 4.53%
Percentage of total debt at fixed rates 74.39% 77.07%
Composite interest rate on fixed rate debt 5.20% 5.29%
Bank prime rate 4.00% 4.00%
The above amounts represent the Company's anticipated settlement of its
currently outstanding debt obligations. Certain adjustments required to present
currently outstanding debt obligations have been recorded and presented
separately on the balance sheet, including adjustments related to foreign
currency and interest rate hedging activities. The Company has eliminated the
currency exposure arising from foreign currency denominated notes by either
hedging the notes through swaps or through the offset provided by operating
lease payments denominated in the related currency. The Company translates
foreign currency denominated debt into US dollars using current exchange rates
as of each balance sheet date. The foreign exchange adjustment for the foreign
currency denominated debt was $823.5 million (2004) and $697.4 million (2003).
Composite interest rates and percentages of total debt at fixed rates reflect
the effect of derivative instruments.
-12-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Public Debt (Exclusive of the Commercial Paper Program)
The interest on most of the public debt is effectively fixed for the
terms of the notes. The Company has the ability to borrow under various public
debt financing arrangements as follows:
Maximum Sold as of Sold as of Sold as of
Offering December 31, 2003 March 31, 2004 April 23, 2004

- --------------
(a) Includes $1.08 billion, which was incorporated into the registration
statement from a prior registration statement, increasing the maximum
offering from $5.0 billion to $6.08 billion.
(b) The Company has hedged the foreign currency risk of the notes through
swaps or operating lease payments denominated in Euros.
(c) This is a perpetual program. As a bond issue matures, the amount becomes
available again under the program.
Capital Lease Obligations
The Company has Export Credit Lease financings which provided ten-year
amortizing loans in the form of capital lease obligations. The interest rate on
62.5% of the original financed amount is 6.55% and the interest rate on 22.5% of
the original financed amount is fixed at rates varying between 6.18% and 6.89%.
These two tranches are guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies.
The remaining 15% of the original financed amount was prepaid by the Company.
Synthetic Lease Obligations
In 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company, through subsidiaries, entered into
sale-leaseback transactions providing proceeds to the Company in the amounts of
$413.0 million, $507.6 million and $601.9 million, respectively, each relating
to seven aircraft. The transactions resulted in the sale and leaseback of these
aircraft under one-year operating leases, each with six one-year extension
options for a total of seven years for each aircraft. The Company did not record
any gains related to the transactions. The Company has the option to either buy
back the aircraft or redeliver the aircraft for a fee to the lessor at the end
of any lease period. The lease rates equate to fixed principal amortization and
floating interest payments based on LIBOR or commercial paper pricing. The
Company repurchased three aircraft before the lease termination, which were sold
to third parties, and repurchased the remaining eleven aircraft from the 1995
and 1996 sale-leaseback transactions when the leases expired in December 2002
and September 2003, respectively. If the Company does not negotiate extensions
of the one-year operating lease terms of the remaining transactions as they
expire in September 2004, the Company will be required to borrow additional
funds to terminate the transactions and reacquire the seven aircraft. The
estimated remaining minimum lease payments (exclusive of the interest component
of rent), assuming the current contractual end of the remaining transactions,
are $9.1 million (2004). The Company's implementation of FASB Interpretation No.
46 ("FIN 46") at December 31, 2003 resulted in the consolidation of the
remaining entity. At March 31, 2004, there was $458.7 million outstanding under
the remaining synthetic lease arrangements and the Company ceased to record rent
expense and began recording the payments as a reduction of principal and
interest expense starting January 1, 2004.
-13-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Bank Term Debt
In January 1999, the Company entered into an Export Credit Facility, for
up to a maximum of $4.3 billion, for aircraft delivered through 2001. The
Company used the facility to fund 85% of each aircraft's purchase price. This
facility is guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The Company
financed 62 aircraft using $2.8 billion under this facility over ten years with
interest rates from 5.753% to 5.898%. The debt is collateralized by a pledge of
the shares of a subsidiary of the Company which holds title to the aircraft
financed under the facility. At March 31, 2004, $1.7 billion was outstanding
under the facility and the net book value of the related aircraft was $3.0
billion.
During 2003, the Company entered into various bank financings for an
aggregate funded amount of $1.3 billion. The financings mature through 2009. One
tranche of one of the loans totaling $410 million was funded in Japanese yen and
swapped to US dollars. The interest rates are LIBOR based with spreads ranging
from 0.375% to 1.625%.
Commercial Paper
The Company currently has a $4.8 billion Commercial Paper Program. Under
this program, the Company may borrow in minimum increments of $100,000 for a
period from one day to 270 days. Notwithstanding the program's size, it is the
Company's intention to sell commercial paper to a maximum amount that is no more
than 75% of the aggregate amount of the backup facilities available (see Bank
Commitments). The weighted average interest rate of the Company's commercial
paper outstanding was 1.04% at March 31, 2004 and 1.07% at December 31, 2003.
Bank Commitments
As of March 31, 2004, the Company had committed revolving loans and
lines of credit with 26 commercial banks aggregating $4.2 billion. These
revolving loans and lines of credit provide for interest rates that vary
according to the pricing option in effect at the time of borrowing. Pricing
options include prime, a range from .25% to .50% over LIBOR based upon
utilization, or a rate determined by a competitive bid process with the banks.
The revolving loans and lines of credit are subject to facility fees of up to
..10% of amounts available. This financing is used as backup for the Company's
maturing debt and other obligations. The Company had not drawn on its revolving
loans and lines of credit as of March 31, 2004.
In March 2004, an indirect subsidiary of the Company entered into an
agreement providing for an 18-month commitment for a $500 million revolving loan
which backs up the subsidiary's $1.0 billion secured note facility to purchase
new aircraft from Boeing and Airbus. The subsidiary's obligations under the
credit facility and the secured note facility are guaranteed by the Company. A
condition precedent to the borrowing of funds under the credit facility is the
inability of the subsidiary to sell notes under the secured note facility on
acceptable terms. The subsidiary had not drawn on the credit facility or issued
any notes under the secured note facility as of March 31, 2004.
Other Variable Interest Entities
The Company has sold aircraft to entities owned by third parties and has
from time to time issued asset value guarantees or loan guarantees related to
the aircraft sold. The Company has determined nine such entities, each owning
one aircraft, are Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in which it is a primary
beneficiary, as defined by FIN 46. As a result of the Company adopting FIN 46,
the Company consolidated these entities at December 31, 2003. The Company has
presented the assets and liabilities of these entities separately on the Balance
Sheet. This classification is the result of the Company not controlling or
owning the assets.
The Company has not established any other unconsolidated entities for
the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other
contractually narrow or limited purposes. The Company has, however, from time to
time established subsidiaries, entered into joint ventures or created other
partnership arrangements with the limited purpose of leasing aircraft or
facilitating borrowing arrangements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Derivatives
In the normal course of business, the Company employs a variety of
derivative products to manage its foreign currency exposure and its exposure to
interest rates and the resulting impact of changes in exchange rates and
interest rates on earnings, with the objective of lowering its overall borrowing
cost and maintaining an optimal mix of variable and fixed rate interest
obligations. The Company only enters into derivative transactions to hedge
interest rate risk and currency risk and not to speculate on interest rates or
currency fluctuations. These derivative products include interest rate swap
agreements, currency swap agreements, and interest rate floor agreements.
The counterparty to the Company's derivative instruments is AIG
Financial Products Corp., a related party with the highest ratings available
from the credit rating agencies, which then enters into transactions with
independent third parties. The derivatives are subject to a bilateral security
agreement, which, in certain circumstances, may allow one party to the agreement
to require the second party to the agreement to provide collateral. Failure of
the instruments or counterparty to perform under the derivative contracts could
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
Market Liquidity Risk
The Company is in compliance with all covenants or other requirements
set forth in its credit agreements. Further, the Company does not have any
rating downgrade triggers that would automatically accelerate the maturity dates
of its debt. However, a downgrade in the Company's credit rating could adversely
affect the Company's ability to borrow on, renew existing, or obtain access to
new financing arrangements and would increase the cost of such financing
arrangements. For example, a downgrade in credit rating could preclude the
Company from issuing commercial paper under its current program.
Turmoil in the airline industry, continued global political unrest, and
worldwide health issues have led to increased uncertainty in the debt markets in
which the Company borrows funds. While the Company has been able to borrow the
funds necessary to finance operations in the current market environment,
additional turmoil in the airline industry or political environment could limit
the Company's ability to borrow funds from its current funding sources. Should
this occur the Company would seek alternative sources of funding, including
securitizations, manufacturers' financings, drawings upon its revolving loans
and lines of credit facilities or additional short-term borrowings. If the
Company were unable to obtain sufficient funding, it would negotiate with
manufacturers to defer deliveries of certain aircraft.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
INDUSTRY CONDITION
The Company's sources of revenue are principally from scheduled and
charter airlines and companies associated with the airline industry. The
Company's revenues and results of operation are therefore affected by how its
customers cope with the economic environment in which airlines operate. In the
past few years, the airline industry has been negatively affected by a number of
factors, including acts of terrorism and related lingering fears, the war in
Iraq, a sluggish worldwide economy, the cost of fuel, the cost of insurance and
the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"). The Company's
revenues and results of operations have been negatively affected in 2004 and
2003 by participation in customer restructurings, requirements to re-lease
aircraft repossessed from airlines that ceased operations and from market lease
rate contractions during the economic downturn. Lower lease rates will continue
to affect the Company's revenue until leases negotiated during the economic
downturn have terminated. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, one of
the Company's customers, Air Holland (one owned and one managed aircraft) filed
for protection under the Dutch bankruptcy law. At March 31, 2004, the Company
had re-leased the aircraft previously leased to Air Holland.
The Company generates approximately 20% of its revenues from customers
based in Asia and the Pacific region, and has numerous other customers who
operate flights to and from those areas. Travel between Asia and the rest of the
world was negatively impacted by the outbreak of SARS. Many airlines in Asia and
those traveling to Asia curtailed flights in response to the reluctance of
people to travel to Asia during the first six months of 2003. Travel to Asia
has, however, picked up sharply since the World Health Organization lifted the
warnings against visits to SARS affected countries in the second quarter of
2003. Any new outbreak of SARS could again negatively impact travel between Asia
and the rest of the world.
On October 16, 2003, Boeing announced that it had decided to "complete
production" of the 757 jetliner in late 2004. At March 31, 2004, the Company
owned 55 757s, all of which were on lease to airlines. As a result, the Company
reviewed and reduced the residual values on the Boeing 757 aircraft type to an
internally established value to more appropriately reflect management's
expectations of future values. The Company commenced recording the change in
estimate on January 1, 2004 and it had an immaterial effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations. The Company believes the market
place had already reflected the event in market lease rates and the Company had
already considered the event in its most recent impairment analysis. The
analysis did not result in an impairment charge.
-17-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Lease Margin
Lease Margin is defined as Rental of flight equipment less total
expenses, adjusted for VIE expenses related to Other Variable Interest Entities,
divided by Rental of flight equipment. Lease Margin is a measure by which the
Company isolates and evaluates the overall profitability of its contractual
leasing operations, which constitute the Company's primary revenue generating
activity. Beginning in 2004, to more accurately portray the trend of its core
leasing operations, the Company began to adjust total expenses in its
calculation of Lease Margin by excluding the above mentioned VIE expenses.
Related VIE revenues are included in Interest and other and are by definition
excluded from the calculation of Lease Margin. VIE revenues and expenses were
recorded in the Company's 2004 net income as a result of the Company's adoption
of FIN 46 beginning December 31, 2003. The most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure is Profit Margin. The following is a reconciliation of Profit
Margin to Lease Margin:
2004 2003
------- -------
Total revenues(A) ................ $ 779.8 $ 722.3
Flight equipment marketing ....... (35.4) (7.9)
Interest and other ............... (21.5) (12.9)
------- -------
Rental of flight equipment(B) .... 722.9 701.5

Total expenses(C) ................ 589.9 545.5
VIE expenses ..................... (3.7) -
------- -------
Adjusted total expenses(D) ....... 586.2 545.5
------- -------
Profit margin (A) - (C) = (E) .... $ 189.9 $ 176.8
Lease margin (B) - (D) = (F) ..... $ 136.7 $ 156.0
Profit margin % (E) divided by (A) 24.4% 24.5%
Lease margin % (F) divided by (B) 18.9% 22.2%
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Three months ended March 31, 2004 versus 2003.
Revenues from the rental of flight equipment increased 3.1% to $722.9
million in 2004 compared to $701.5 million in 2003, due to an increase in the
number of aircraft available for operating lease (619 at March 31, 2004 compared
to 577 at March 31, 2003), partially offset by aircraft being reconfigured and
redelivered and therefore not earning revenue for the entire period. The Company
had one aircraft off-lease (not subject to a signed lease agreement or a signed
letter of intent) at March 31, 2004, which was subsequently leased. Revenues
were negatively impacted by lower lease rates and restructured rents as a result
of the slowdown and turmoil of the airline industry. The Company's Lease Margin
for the period decreased to 18.9% in 2004 compared to 22.2% for the same period
in 2003. The Company's Profit Margin stayed relatively consistent at 24.4%
compared to 24.5% for the same periods. The Company expects factors described in
Industry Conditions to further negatively impact revenues in 2004 and beyond, as
some airlines continue to experience financial difficulties and the negative
impact on lease revenues from the economic downturn continues to be felt.
At March 31, 2004, the Company's fleet, on which it earns rental
revenue, consisted of 618 aircraft compared to a fleet of 590 aircraft at March
31, 2003. The cost of the leased fleet, which includes aircraft subject to
sale-lease back transactions from which rental income is earned, increased to
$34.6 billion at March 31, 2004 compared to $32.5 billion at March 31, 2003.
In addition to its leasing operations, the Company engages in the
marketing of flight equipment throughout the lease term, as well as the sale of
third party owned flight equipment on a principal and commission basis. Revenues
from flight equipment marketing increased to $9.7 million in 2004 compared to
$8.0 million in 2003. The Company sold three aircraft during the first quarter
of 2004. Further, the Company sold 34 aircraft to a trust included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company's parent (see Note C of Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) during the first quarter of
2004. The gain related to the transaction is included in Flight Equipment
Marketing -- Securitization.
-18-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Interest and other revenue increased to $21.5 million in 2004 compared
to $12.9 million in 2003 primarily due to an increase in management fees due to
an increase in the managed fleet and revenues from VIEs due to the Company's
adoption of FIN 46 at December 31, 2003.
Interest expense increased to $233.8 million in 2004 compared to $219.1
million in 2003 as a result of an increase in average debt outstanding, which is
borrowed to finance aircraft acquisitions (excluding the effect of debt discount
and foreign exchange adjustments), to $22.1 billion in 2004 compared to $19.7
billion in 2003. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average
composite borrowing rate to 4.43% in 2004 compared to 4.65% in 2003. The Company
has modified its borrowing strategy and has begun to extend its debt maturities
because of the present economic environment with all-time low interest rates.
Had the Company continued to borrow with mostly short-term and medium-term
maturity rates, the Company's composite borrowing rate would have decreased
further in 2004 compared with 2003. The Company's composite borrowing rate
decreased as follows:
2004 2003 Decrease
---- ---- --------
Beginning of Quarter 4.53% 4.73% 0.20%
End of Quarter 4.34% 4.57% 0.23%
Average 4.43% 4.65% 0.22%
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 includes a
$0.2 million benefit related to derivative activities.
Depreciation of flight equipment increased 11.9% to $295.6 million in
2004 compared to $264.1 million in 2003 due to the increased cost of the fleet.
The Company, in prior periods, had entered into sale-leaseback
transactions. Currently seven aircraft are accounted for under these
transactions. The Company ceased to record rent expense as a result of its
adoption of FIN 46 on December 31, 2003 (see Financial Condition: Synthetic
Lease Obligations for more information).
Provision for overhauls increased to $34.9 million in 2004 compared to
$28.2 million in 2003 due to an increase in the aggregate number of hours flown
on which the Company collects overhaul revenue and against which the provision
is computed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $25.6 million
in 2004 compared to $20.6 million in 2003 primarily due to expenses related to
the Company's interest in VIEs in the amount of $3.7 million as a result of the
Company's adoption of FIN 46 at December 31, 2003.
The Company typically contracts to re-lease aircraft before the end of
the existing lease term. For aircraft returned before the end of the lease term,
the Company has generally been able to re-lease aircraft within two to six
months of its return. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges
related to its fleet, as the existing service potential of the aircraft in the
Company's portfolio has not been diminished. Further, the Company has been able
to re-lease aircraft without diminution in lease rates to an extent that would
warrant an impairment write down.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
VALUE AT RISK
Measuring potential losses in fair values has recently become the focus
of risk management efforts by many companies. Such measurements are performed
through the application of various statistical techniques. One such technique is
Value at Risk (VaR), a summary statistical measure that uses historical interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices and which estimates the
volatility and correlation of these rates and prices to calculate the maximum
loss that could occur over a defined period of time given a certain probability.
The Company believes that statistical models alone do not provide a
reliable method of monitoring and controlling market risk. While VaR models are
relatively sophisticated, the quantitative market risk information generated is
limited by the assumptions and parameters established in creating the related
models. Therefore, such models are tools and do not substitute for the
experience or judgment of senior management.
The Company is exposed to market risk and the risk of loss of fair value
and possible liquidity strain resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest
rates and foreign exchange prices. The Company statistically measures the loss
of fair value through the application of a VaR model on a quarterly basis. In
this analysis the net fair value of the Company is determined using the
financial instrument and other assets. This includes tax adjusted future flight
equipment lease revenues, and financial instrument liabilities, which includes
future servicing of current debt. The estimated impact of current derivative
positions is also taken into account.
The Company calculates the VaR with respect to the net fair value by
using historical scenarios. This methodology entails re-pricing all assets and
liabilities under explicit changes in market rates within a specific historical
time period. In this case, the most recent three years of historical information
for interest rates and foreign exchange rates were used to construct the
historical scenarios at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. For
each scenario, each financial instrument is re-priced. Scenario values for the
Company are then calculated by netting the values of all the underlying assets
and liabilities. The final VaR number represents the maximum adverse deviation
in fair market value incurred under these scenarios with 95% confidence (i.e.
only 5% of historical scenarios show losses greater than the VaR figure). A one
month holding period is assumed in computing the VaR figure. The following table
presents the average, high and low VaRs for the Company with respect to its fair
value for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods
specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to
management of the Company, including the Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice Chairman, Chief
Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (collectively the
"Certifying Officers"), as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of the
Company, including the Certifying Officers, recognizes that any
set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives.
(b) As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, the Company has carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including
the Certifying Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.
Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded
that disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable
assurance that the information required to be disclosed is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods
specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(c) There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls
over financial reporting identified in connection with the
evaluation referred to above that occurred during the Company's
first quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls
over financial reporting.
