Accounting Principles and Policies In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary to summarize fairly Polaris Aircraft Income Fund I's (the Partnership's) financial position and results of operations. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of the Quarterly Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 included in the Partnership's 1998 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K. 2. Related Parties Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid or agreed to pay the following amounts for the current quarter to the general partner, Polaris Investment Management Corporation, in connection with services rendered or payments made on behalf of the Partnership: Payments for Three Months Ended Payable at March 31, 1999 March 31, 1999 -------------- -------------- Aircraft Management Fees $ 6,000 $ 1,518 Out-of-Pocket Administrative Expense Reimbursement 35,199 17,438 Out-of-Pocket Operating and Remarketing Expense Reimbursement 200 -- ------- ------- $41,399 $18,956 ======= ======= 3. Partners' Capital The Partnership Agreement (the Agreement) stipulates different methods by which revenue, income and loss from operations and gain or loss on the sale of aircraft are to be allocated to the general partner and the limited partners. Such allocations are made using income or loss calculated under GAAP for book purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for tax purposes. Cash available for distributions, including the proceeds from the sale of aircraft, is distributed 10% to the general partner and 90% to the limited partners. 7 The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for distribution combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book and tax purposes result in book basis capital accounts that may vary significantly from tax basis capital accounts. The ultimate liquidation and distribution of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital accounts following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement. 4. Sale of Aircraft Inventory to Soundair, Inc. The Partnership recognized income of $196,858 during the first quarter of 1999 from the sale of aircraft inventory to Soundair, Inc. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations At March 31, 1999, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund I (the Partnership) owned three JT8D-9A engines and certain inventoried aircraft parts, which includes one engine, out of its original portfolio of eleven aircraft. The three JT8D-9A engines are leased to Royal Aviation Inc. and Royal Cargo, Inc. (Royal Aviation). Partnership Operations The Partnership recorded net income of $303,385, or $1.78 per limited partnership unit, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to net income of $393,413, or $2.31 per unit for the same period in 1998. The decline in operating results during the first quarter of 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, was primarily the result of income recognized on payments received from the Braniff, Inc. bankruptcy estate of $138,462 and on Jet Fleet deposits of $92,610 following the closing of bankruptcy proceedings. This 1998 income was partially offset by gains on the sale of aircraft inventory in 1999 of $196,858, compared to $49,453 in 1998. Interest income decreased during the first quarter of 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, primarily due to a decrease in the cash reserves over the same period. Administration and other expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, primarily due to decreases in consulting fees and printing and postage costs. Liquidity and Cash Distributions Liquidity - The Partnership receives maintenance reserve payments from Royal Aviation that may be reimbursed to the lessee or applied against certain costs incurred by the Partnership for maintenance work performed on the Partnership's aircraft or engines, as specified in the leases. Maintenance reserve balances remaining at the termination of the lease, if any, may be used by the Partnership to offset future maintenance expenses or recognized as revenue. The net maintenance reserves balances aggregate $1,907,591 as of March 31, 1999. One engine underwent a maintenance event subsequent to March 31, 1999 which will result in a reimbursement to the lessee of approximately $400,000. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has determined that the Partnership maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to insure that the Partnership has available funds in the event that the engines presently on lease to Royal Aviation require remarketing and for other contingencies, including expenses of the Partnership. The Partnership's cash reserves will be monitored and may be revised from time to time as further information becomes available in the future. Cash Distributions - Cash distributions to limited partners during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were $2,488,753, or $14.75 per limited partnership unit and $1,349,832, or $8.00 per unit, respectively. The timing and amount of future cash distributions to partners are not yet known and will depend upon the Partnership's future cash requirements, including the receipt of rental payments from Royal Aviation. 9 Impact of the Year 2000 Issue The inability of business processes to continue to function correctly after the beginning of the Year 2000 could have serious adverse effects on companies and entities throughout the world. As discussed in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the General Partner has engaged GE Capital Aviation Services, Inc. ("GECAS") to provide certain management services to the Partnership. Both the General Partner and GECAS are wholly-owned subsidiaries (either direct or indirect) of General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"). All of the Partnership's operational functions are handled either by the General Partner and GECAS or by third parties (as discussed in the following paragraphs), and the Partnership has no information systems of its own. GECC and GECAS have undertaken a global effort to identify and mitigate Year 2000 issues in their information systems, products and services, facilities and suppliers as well as to assess the extent to which Year 2000 issues will impact their customers. Each business has a Year 2000 leader who oversees a multi-functional remediation project team responsible for applying a Six Sigma quality approach in four phases: (1) define/measure -- identify and inventory possible sources of Year 2000 issues; (2) analyze -- determine the nature and extent of Year 2000 issues and develop project plans to address those issues; (3) improve -- execute project plans and perform a majority of the testing; and (4) control -- complete testing, continue monitoring readiness and complete necessary contingency plans. The progress of this program is monitored at each business, and company-wide reviews with senior management are conducted monthly. The first three phases of the program have been completed for a substantial majority of mission-critical activities. Management plans to have nearly all significant information systems, products and services and facilities through the control phase of the program by mid-1999. As noted elsewhere, the Partnership has sold all of its aircraft-related assets other than three aircraft engines on lease and the spare parts inventory, which includes one engine. Three of the remaining engines are on lease with Royal Aviation, Inc. and Royal Cargo, Inc., and under the terms of the leases, the lessees have the obligation to repair and maintain the engines. GECAS is requesting information from the lessees about the status of their Year 2000 program. Aside from maintenance and other matters relating to the Partnership's aircraft-related assets discussed above, the principal third-party vendors to the Partnership are those providing the Partnership with services such as accounting, auditing, banking and investor services. GECAS intends to apply the same standards in determining the Year 2000 capabilities of the Partnership's third-party vendors as GECAS will apply with respect to its outside vendors pursuant to its internal Year 2000 program. The scope of the global Year 2000 effort encompasses many thousands of applications and computer programs; products and services; facilities and facilities-related equipment; suppliers; and, customers. The Partnership, like all business operations, is also dependent on the Year 2000 readiness of infrastructure suppliers in areas such as utility, communications, transportation and other services. In this environment, there will likely be instances of failure that could cause disruptions in business processes or that could affect customers' ability to repay amounts owed to the Partnership or vendors' ability to provide services without interruption. The likelihood and effects of failures in infrastructure systems, over which the Partnership has no control, cannot be estimated. However, aside from the impact of any such possible failures or the possibility of a disruption of the Partnership's lessees' business caused by Year 2000 failures, the General Partner does not 10 believe that occurrences of Year 2000 failures will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Partnership. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any Year 2000 expenditures nor does it expect to incur any material costs in the future. However, the activities involved in the Year 2000 effort necessarily involve estimates and projections of activities and resources that will be required in the future. These estimates and projections could change as work progresses. 11 Part II. Other Information -------------------------- Item 1.
