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, 1997, 1996, and 1995 included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K (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 June 30, 1998 June 30, 1998 ------------- ------------- Out-of-Pocket Administrative and Selling Expense Reimbursement $125,893 $152,970 Out-of-Pocket Operating and Remarketing Expense Reimbursement 29,336 4,137 -------- -------- $155,229 $157,107 ======== ======== 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. 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. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations As discussed below under "Liquidity and Cash Distributions," Polaris Investment Management Corporation (PIMC, or the General Partner), is in the process of winding up the business of Polaris Aircraft Income Fund IV (the Partnership). During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining portfolio of 13 used commercial jet aircraft out of its original portfolio of 33 aircraft. Partnership Operations The Partnership recorded a net loss of $105,006, or $0.26 per limited partnership unit, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net income of $372,140, or $0.24 per limited partnership unit, for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The Partnership recorded a net loss of $54,195, or $0.62 per limited partnership unit for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net income of $1,269,936, or $1.52 per limited partnership unit, for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decline in operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997, was primarily due to the sale of the Partnership's remaining aircraft in 1997. Interest income decreased during the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997, primarily due to a decrease in the cash reserves in 1998. The decrease in the cash reserves resulted from cash distributions, as discussed in the liquidity section. Another factor contributing to the decrease in interest income was the absence of interest income on the deferred rent payments due from Continental that ended when the final payment was made in 1997. Operating expenses increased during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses related to the sale of the remaining aircraft. Liquidity and Cash Distributions Liquidity - As previously discussed, the Partnership sold its remaining aircraft during 1997. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has determined that the Partnership maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to ensure that the Partnership has available sufficient funds to satisfy anticipated contingencies and expenses in connection with winding up its business. 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 - There were no cash distributions to limited partners during the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $2,499,820, or $5.00 per limited partnership unit, during the three months ended June 30, 1997. Cash distributions to limited partners during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were $28,807,349, or $57.62 per limited partnership unit, and $4,999,640, or $10.00 per limited partnership unit, respectively. The increase, as compared to 1997, is due to the distribution of the proceeds received from the prepayment of a note due from Triton Aviation Services IV LLC on December 30, 1997. The Partnership is now in the process of winding up its business. With the exception of reserves maintained for anticipated expenses and costs of winding up, the Partnership distributed all of its available cash during 1997 and the first quarter of 1998. Consequently, the timing and amount of future cash distributions, if any, are not yet known and will depend upon whether the Partnership's reserves exceed its actual expenses and contingencies in winding up and on the time required to complete the winding up process. 8 Part II.
