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 2001 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

B. Hedging Activities

     The Company uses derivatives to manage exposures to interest rate and foreign currency risks. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded the following in earnings in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 — Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 and related implementation guidance.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2002, $50,438 (net) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense under cash flow hedge accounting in connection with the Company’s program to convert debt from floating to fixed rates. The Company expects that within the next twelve months it will reclassify as earnings approximately $100,000 of the balance recorded plus quarterly cash flow hedge adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Public Debt

     The interest on substantially all of the public debt (exclusive of the Commercial Paper Program) is fixed for the terms of the notes. The Company has the ability to borrow under various public debt financing arrangements as follows (d):
                                 
    Maximum   Sold as of   Sold as of   Sold as of
    Offering   December 31, 2001 (a)   June 30, 2002 (a)   July 31, 2002 (a)
   
 
 
 
    (Dollars in millions)
Registration statement dated May 10, 2001 (including $2.350 billion Medium-Term Note program)
  $ 4,000     $ 3,100     $ 4,000     $ 4,000  
Registration statement dated January 28, 2002 (including $1.0 billion Medium-Term Note program)
    4,000             2,745       2,770  
Euro Medium-Term Note Programme dated June 2001
    4,000 (b)     771 (c)     2,314 (c)     2,314 (c)


(a)   Includes amounts outstanding under Medium-Term Note programs implemented under each of the registration statements.
(b)   The Company increased its Euro Medium-Term Note Programme during the second quarter in 2002 from $2.0 billion to $4.0 billion under which an additional 1.25 billion and £300 million in notes were sold as of July 31, 2002.
(c)   The Company has hedged the foreign currency risk of the notes through operating lease payments or derivatives.
(d)   Totals do not include shelf registrations for which the maximum offering had been sold as of December 31, 2001.

Capital Lease Obligations

     The Company has Export Credit Lease financings which provide 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 provides for LIBOR based pricing. This 15% tranche was prepaid in 2000. The remaining obligations mature through 2005.

Bank Term Debt

     In January 1999, the Company entered into an Export Credit Facility, up to a maximum of $4.3 billion, for approximately 75 aircraft to be delivered from 1999 through 2001. The Company had the right, but was not required, to use the facility to fund 85% of each aircraft’s purchase price. This facility is guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varies from 5.753% to 5.898% on the 75 aircraft depending on the delivery date of the aircraft. The Company financed 62 aircraft with $2.8 billion under this facility. The debt is collaterized by a pledge of the shares of a subsidiary of the Company which holds title to the aircraft financed under the facility.

Commercial Paper

     The Company 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. It is the Company’s intention to sell commercial paper not to exceed one and one half times the aggregate amount of the backup facilities available (see Bank Commitments). The weighted average interest rate of the Company’s Commercial Paper Program was 1.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 4.10% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The composite commercial paper interest rate was 1.84% and 2.24% at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

Bank Commitments

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company had committed revolving loans and lines of credit with 20 commercial banks aggregating $2.85 billion. These revolving loans and lines of credit principally 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% over LIBOR to .35% 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 primarily as backup for the Company’s Commercial Paper Program.

Other

     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 has not recorded 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. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had repurchased three aircraft which were sold to third parties. If the Company decides not to negotiate extensions of the one year operating lease options as they terminate in December 2002 and September 2003 and 2004, it will be required to borrow additional funds to reacquire the assets. The estimated remaining minimum lease payments (exclusive of the interest component of rent) and buy-back amounts, assuming the transactions mature as scheduled, are $279.6 million (2002), $390.8 million (2003) and $462.4 million (2004).

     The Company does not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. The Company may, however, from time to time enter into joint ventures or other partnership arrangements with the limited purpose to lease aircraft.

     In the normal course of business, the Company employs a variety of derivative products to manage its exposure to interest rates and the resulting impact of changes in interest rates on earnings, with the objective to lower its overall borrowing cost and to maintain 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, who enters into identical 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. It is management’s belief that any failure of the instruments or counterparty to perform under the derivative contracts would have an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     The Company is in compliance with all covenants and 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. Should this occur the Company would seek alternative sources of funding, including issuance of bonds under its existing shelf registrations. In addition, the Company has the ability, at its option, to draw upon its revolving loans and lines of credit. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into additional short term borrowings.

     The Company repurchased $50.0 million of its Market Auction Preferred Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     The following summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations at June 30, 2002, and the possible effect of such obligations on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

(a)   From time to time, the Company participates with airlines, banks and other financial institutions to assist in financing aircraft by providing asset guarantees, put options, or loan guarantees collateralized by aircraft. As a result, should the Company be called upon to fulfill its obligations, the Company would have recourse to the value of the underlying aircraft.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Results of Operations - Three months ended June 30, 2002 versus 2001.

     Revenues from the rentals of flight equipment increased 9.1% to $680.3 million in 2002 compared to $623.6 million in 2001, due to an increase in the number of aircraft available for operating lease, partially offset by an increase in the number of aircraft being reconfigured and redelivered and therefore not earning revenue for the entire period. Revenues were also negatively impacted by lower lease rates and restructured rents, as a result of a slowdown of the airline industry that was exacerbated after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The Company expects these factors to further negatively impact revenues in the third and fourth quarters of 2002. At June 30, 2002 the Company’s leased fleet consisted of 532 aircraft compared to a fleet of 448 aircraft at June 30, 2001. The cost of the leased fleet, which includes aircraft subject to sale-lease back transactions from which rental income is earned, increased to $29.1 billion in 2002 compared to $24.5 billion in 2001.

     In addition to its leasing operations, the Company engages in the marketing of flight equipment throughout the lease term, as well as the sales of flight equipment on a principal and commission basis. Revenues from flight equipment marketing decreased to $6.4 million in 2002 compared to $20.7 million in 2001 as a result of a decrease in sales of company owned equipment. The Company did not sell any equipment during the second quarter of 2002, and sold two engines and two aircraft during the second quarter of 2001.

     Interest and other revenue increased to $39.8 million in 2002 compared to $14.0 million in 2001 primarily due to forfeitures of security and other deposits resulting from nonperformance by customers and manufacturers.

     Interest expense increased to $218.9 million in 2002 compared to $203.6 million in 2001 as a result of an increase in average debt outstanding, to finance aircraft acquisitions (excluding the effect of debt discount), to $17.7 billion in 2002 compared to $14.8 billion in 2001. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average composite borrowing rate to 4.98% in 2002 compared to 5.71% in 2001. The Company’s composite borrowing rate fluctuated as follows:

                         
    2002   2001   Decrease
   
 
 
Beginning of Quarter
    4.93 %     5.92 %     (0.99 )%
End of Quarter
    5.03 %     5.49 %     (0.46 )%
Average
    4.98 %     5.71 %     (0.73 )%

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 includes a $1.6 million charge related to hedging activities.

     Depreciation of flight equipment increased to $235.7 million in 2002 compared to $201.6 million in 2001 due to the increased cost of the fleet.

     The Company, in prior periods, has entered into sale-leaseback transactions. Currently 18 aircraft are accounted for under these transactions. Rent expense decreased to $19.4 million in 2002 compared to $28.4 million in 2001 due to a decrease in the lease rates resulting from a decrease in interest rates affecting the floating rate component of the lease rates, principal amortization, and the repurchase of one aircraft.

     Provision for overhauls decreased to $18.8 million in 2002 compared to $21.6 million in 2001. The cumulative effect of favorable payout factors realized in the second quarter resulted in a reduction in the reserve rate used in calculating the provision for overhauls. Further, the Company experienced lower overhaul revenue collections as a result of an increase in restructured overhaul payments, a slowdown in the economy and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $22.2 million in 2002 compared to $14.9 million in 2001 primarily due to an increase in costs related to the reconfiguration and re-delivery of aircraft from one lessee to another.

Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 2002 versus 2001.

     Revenues from the rentals of flight equipment increased 7.2% to $1,289.3 million in 2002 compared to $1,203.2 million in 2001, due to an increase in the number of aircraft available for operating lease, partially offset by an increase in the number of aircraft being reconfigured and redelivered and therefore not earning revenue for the entire period.

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 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, aircraft residual values at maturity of the lease contracts 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 December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 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 by 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 as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001:
