6 POLARIS AIRCRAFT INCOME FUND IV, A California Limited Partnership NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. 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 IV'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. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992 included in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K (Form 10-K). Aircraft and Depreciation - The aircraft are recorded at cost, which includes acquisition costs. Depreciation to an estimated residual value is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the aircraft which was originally estimated to be 30 years from the date of manufacture. Depreciation in the year of acquisition was calculated based upon the number of days that the aircraft were in service. The Partnership periodically reviews the estimated realizability of the residual values at the end of each aircraft's economic life based on estimated residual values obtained from an independent party which provides current and future estimated aircraft values by aircraft type. For any downward adjustment in estimated residual, or decrease in the projected remaining economic life, the depreciation expense over the projected remaining life of the aircraft is increased. If the projected net income generated from the lease (projected rental revenue, net of management fees, less adjusted depreciation and an allocation of estimated administrative expense) results in a net loss, that loss will be recognized currently. Off-lease aircraft are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated net realizable value. A further adjustment is made for those aircraft, if any, that require substantial maintenance work. Capitalized Costs - Aircraft modification and maintenance costs which are determined to increase the value or extend the useful life of the aircraft are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the improvement. These costs are also subject to periodic evaluation as discussed above. Financial Accounting Pronouncements - The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and the related SFAS No. 118 as of January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 require that certain impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Partnership had previously measured the allowance for credit losses using methods similar to that prescribed in SFAS No. 114. As a result, no additional provision was required by the adoption of this pronouncement. The Partnership has recorded an allowance for credit losses equal to the full amount of the following impaired loan as a result of issues regarding its collection due to restrictions regarding the cash flow by the Bankruptcy Court. The Partnership recognizes revenue on this loan only as payments are received. 7 As discussed in Note 3, the modified leases with Continental Airlines, Inc. (Continental) include an extended deferral of the dates when certain rental payments are due the Partnership. The Partnership recorded a note receivable and an allowance for credit losses equal to the total of the deferred rents, the net of which is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets. The note receivable and corresponding allowance for credit losses are reduced by the principal portion of payments received. In addition, the Partnership recognizes rental revenue and interest revenue in the period the deferred rental payments are received. The deferred rents and corresponding allowance for credit losses were $1,933,922 and $3,263,108 as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. 2. Lease to American Trans Air, Inc. (ATA) As discussed in the Form 10-K, the Partnership negotiated a seven-year lease with ATA for two Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft formerly on lease to USAir, Inc. The leases began in February and March 1993. ATA was not required to begin making cash rental payments until January and February 1994, although rental revenue is to be recognized over the entire lease term. The leases are renewable for up to three one-year periods. ATA transferred to the Partnership two unencumbered Boeing 727-100 aircraft as part of the lease transaction. The Partnership sold both of these aircraft as discussed in the Form 10-K. Under the ATA lease, the Partnership may be required to finance aircraft hushkits for use on the aircraft at an estimated aggregate cost of approximately $5.0 million, which will be partially recovered with interest through payments from ATA over an extended lease term. The Partnership loaned $1,164,800 to ATA in 1993 to finance the purchase by ATA of two spare engines. This loan is reflected in notes receivable in the accompanying balance sheets. The Partnership has received all scheduled principal and interest payments due under the notes. The balances of the notes at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were $838,696 and $949,489, respectively. 3. Continental Lease Modification As discussed in the Form 10-K, the Continental leases for the Partnership's five McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 aircraft and five Boeing 727-200 aircraft were modified. The modified agreement specifies (i) extension of the leases for the five Boeing 727-200s to April 1994 and for the five McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 aircraft to June 1996; (ii) renegotiated rental rates averaging approximately 67% of the original lease rates; (iii) payment of ongoing rentals at the reduced rates beginning in October 1991; (iv) payment of deferred rentals with interest beginning in July 1992; and (v) payment by the Partnership of certain aircraft modification and refurbishment costs, not to exceed approximately $4.9 million, a portion of which will be recovered with interest through payments from Continental over the extended lease term. The Partnership's share of such costs may be capitalized and depreciated over the remaining lease terms. The Partnership's balance sheets reflect the net reimbursable costs incurred of $407,396 and $819,259 as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, as notes receivable. On January 26, 1995, Continental announced a number of actual and proposed changes in its operations and financial situation. In connection with those changes, Continental indicated that it was discussing with certain of its major lenders modifications to existing debt amortization schedules to enhance the airline's capital structure. Continental stated that during those discussions it would not be making payments to such lenders and lessors otherwise required under the current contracts. The Partnership is not engaged in any such 8 discussions with Continental at the present time, and Continental has made all payments due to the Partnership on a current basis to date. In early April 1995, Continental announced that it had successfully concluded discussions with The Boeing Company, as well as its primary lender and the City and County of Denver, that would provide Continental with approximately $370 million in cash deferrals and savings over the next two years, and that it had reached a preliminary agreement with certain of its lessors for additional cash deferrals. 4. Sale of Aircraft to Continental The leases of five Boeing 727-200 aircraft to Continental expired on April 30, 1994 as discussed in Note 3. In May 1994, the Partnership sold these aircraft to Continental for an aggregate sales price of $5,032,865. The Partnership agreed to accept payment of the sales price in 29 monthly installments of $192,500, with interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The Partnership recorded a note receivable for the sales price and recognized a loss on sale of $6,707,562 in the second quarter of 1994. The Partnership has received all scheduled payments due under the note. The note receivable balance at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 was $2,193,793 and $3,706,458, respectively. 5. Viscount Air Services, Inc. (Viscount) Restructuring As discussed in the Form 10-K, in July 1994 the Partnership entered into an agreement with Viscount to defer certain rents due the Partnership which aggregate $600,000; to extend a line of credit to Viscount for a total of $387,000 to be used primarily for maintenance expenses relating to the Partnership's aircraft; and which gives the Partnership the option to acquire approximately 1.86% of the issued and outstanding shares of Viscount stock as of July 26, 1994 for an option price of approximately $279,000. The deferred rents are being repaid by Viscount with interest at a rate of 6% per annum over the remaining terms of the leases. The deferred rents were recognized as revenue in the period earned. Payments on the deferred rents are current, and at present, the Partnership considers these deferred rents to be collectible. The unpaid balances of the deferred rents, which are reflected as rents receivable in the September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 balance sheets, were $526,005 and $450,000, respectively. The line of credit, which was advanced to Viscount in full during 1994, is being repaid by Viscount over a 30-month period, beginning in January 1995, with interest at a rate of 11.53% per annum. The line of credit balances, which are reflected as notes receivable in the September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 balance sheets, were $294,398 and $387,000, respectively. Viscount is presently past due on certain rent payments due the Partnership in April and May 1995. The past due payments aggregate $200,000 and are included in rents receivable in the September 30, 1995 balance sheet. The Partnership considers these past due amounts to be collectible. At the present time, the Partnership is continuing its discussions with Viscount to restructure certain of Viscount's financial obligations to the Partnership, which would require Viscount to remain current on its existing monthly obligations and permit a deferral of the past- due portion of the April and May 1995 obligations. In the interim, beginning in June 1995, Viscount has undertaken to pay in full, by the end of each month, the current month's obligations by making partial periodic payments during that month. Viscount is presently current on these periodic payments. Any failure by Viscount to perform its financial obligations with the Partnership will have an adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position. 9 6. 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 September 30, 1995 September 30, 1995 ------------------ ------------------ Aircraft Management Fees $156,498 $111,050 Out-of-Pocket Administrative Expense Reimbursement 34,192 66,350 Out-of-Pocket Operating and Remarketing Expense Reimbursement 50,176 -- -------- -------- $240,866 $177,400 ======== ======== 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Polaris Aircraft Income Fund IV (the Partnership) owns a portfolio of 13 used commercial jet aircraft out of its original portfolio of 33 aircraft. The portfolio includes five DC-9-30 aircraft leased to Continental Airlines, Inc. (Continental); two Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft leased to American Trans Air, Inc. (ATA); two Boeing 737-200 Advanced aircraft leased to GB Airways Limited (GB Airways); two Boeing 737-200 Advanced aircraft leased to TBG Airways Limited (TBG Airways); and two Boeing 737-200 aircraft leased to Viscount Air Services, Inc. (Viscount). Out of an original portfolio of 33 aircraft, one Boeing 727-100 Freighter, formerly leased to Emery Aircraft Leasing Corporation (Emery), was declared a casualty loss due to an accident in 1991, fourteen Boeing 727-100 Freighters were sold to Emery in 1993, and five Boeing 727-200 aircraft were sold to Continental in May 1994. As discussed in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K (Form 10-K), in 1993, ATA transferred to the Partnership two Boeing 727-100 aircraft as part of the ATA lease transaction. One of these Boeing 727-100 aircraft was sold in February 1994 and the second Boeing 727-100 aircraft was sold in August 1994. Partnership Operations The Partnership recorded net income of $1,356,594, or $2.06 per limited partnership unit, for the three months ended September 30, 1995, compared to a net loss of $93,033, or $0.81 per unit, for the same period in 1994. The Partnership recorded net income of $3,457,561, or $4.97 per limited partnership unit, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to a net loss of $6,900,784, or $15.79 per unit, for the same period in 1994. The 1994 net losses were primarily attributable to the loss of $6,707,562 recorded in the second quarter of 1994 on the sale of five Boeing 727-200 aircraft to Continental, as discussed in the 1994 Form 10-K, combined with increased operating expenses. The improved operating results in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods of 1994 is due primarily to a significant decrease in operating and depreciation expenses in 1995. Partially offsetting the loss on sale of $6,707,562 in the first quarter of 1994 was a gain of $425,000 recognized on the sale of one Boeing 727-100 aircraft to Total Aerospace Services, Inc. in the same period and a gain of $245,937 recognized on the sale of one Boeing 727-100 aircraft to Sunrise Partners in the third quarter of 1994. No aircraft sales were concluded in the first three quarters of 1995. During the first three quarters of 1994, the Partnership incurred maintenance and remarketing costs necessary to remarket the two Boeing 737-200 aircraft and four Boeing 737-200 Advanced aircraft, formerly on lease to Britannia Airways Limited, to GB Airways, TBG Airways and Viscount. Maintenance expenses recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 were minimal in comparison. Further impacting the improved operating results in the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the same period of 1994, was a decrease in depreciation expense in 1995. No depreciation expense was recorded for 1995 for the five Boeing 727-200 aircraft sold to Continental in May 1994. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be 11 recoverable. This Statement will be adopted by the Partnership as of January 1, 1996 and will be applied prospectively. Management is gathering information and evaluating the requirements of the Statement, but has not determined the impact of its application on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. Liquidity and Cash Distributions Liquidity - As discussed in the Form 10-K and in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Viscount in July 1994 under which it agreed to defer certain rents due the Partnership on two aircraft. These deferred rents, which aggregate $600,000, are being repaid by Viscount with interest over the remaining lease terms. The deferred rents were recognized as revenue in the period earned. Payments on the deferred rents are current, and at present, the Partnership considers these deferred rents to be collectible. The agreement with Viscount also stipulates that the Partnership advance Viscount up to $387,000, primarily for maintenance expenses incurred by Viscount relating to the Partnership's aircraft. In accordance with the agreement, the Partnership advanced Viscount $387,000 during 1994 which is being repaid by Viscount with interest over a 30-month period beginning in January 1995. Viscount is presently past due on certain rent payments due the Partnership in April and May 1995. The past due payments aggregate $200,000 and are included in rents receivable in the September 30, 1995 balance sheet. The Partnership considers these past due amounts to be collectible. At the present time, the Partnership is continuing its discussions with Viscount to restructure certain of Viscount's financial obligations to the Partnership, which would require Viscount to remain current on its existing monthly obligations and permit a deferral of the past- due portion of the April and May 1995 obligations. In the interim, beginning in June 1995, Viscount has undertaken to pay in full, by the end of each month, the current month's obligations by making partial periodic payments during that month. Viscount is presently current on these periodic payments. Any failure by Viscount to perform its financial obligations with the Partnership will have an adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position. As described in Item 7 of the Form 10-K, the Continental leases provide for payment by the Partnership of the costs of certain maintenance work, Airworthiness Directive compliance, aircraft modification and refurbishment costs, a portion of which will be recovered with interest through payments from Continental over the lease terms. The balance of the costs that the Partnership is currently obligated to pay or finance is approximately $2.3 million. As described in the Form 10-K, the ATA lease specifies that the Partnership may finance certain aircraft hushkits at an estimated aggregate cost of approximately $5.0 million, which will be partially recovered with interest through payments from ATA over an extended lease term. The Partnership receives maintenance reserve payments from certain of its lessees 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, as specified in the leases. Maintenance reserve balances, if any, remaining at the termination of the lease may be used by the Partnership to offset future maintenance expenses or recognized as revenue. The net maintenance reserve balances aggregate $4,673,492 as of September 30, 1995.
