In September 1995, the Partnership transferred its ownership interest in a Boeing 747-SP-21 commercial jet aircraft (the "United Aircraft") to the existing lessee, United Air Lines, Inc., pursuant to the rules for a like- kind exchange transaction for income tax reporting purposes (See Note 4 herein). In November 1995, the Partnership partially replaced the United Aircraft with an 11.74% interest in three Boeing 737-2H4 aircraft leased to Southwest Airlines, Inc. (the "Southwest Aircraft"). The Partnership will receive approximately $338,000 of rental revenue in each of the years in the period ending June 30, 1999, and $197,000 in the year ending June 30, 2000, pursuant to the Southwest Aircraft lease agreement. Additionally, in March 1996, the Partnership completed the replacement of the United Aircraft with the acquisitions of a 9.71% ownership interest in two McDonnell-Douglas MD-82 Aircraft leased by Finnair OY 6 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) (the "Finnair Aircraft") and a 17.43% ownership interest in a McDonnell-Douglas MD-87 aircraft leased by Reno Air, Inc. (the "Reno Aircraft"). The Partnership will receive approximately $419,000 of rental revenue in each of the years in the period ending June 30, 1998 and approximately $309,000 in the year ending June 30, 1999, pursuant to the Finnair Aircraft lease agreement. With respect to the Reno Aircraft lease agreement, the Partnership will receive approximately $309,000 of rental revenue in each of the years in the period ending June 30, 2002 and approximately $155,000 in the year ending June 30, 2003. Pursuant to the Reno Aircraft lease agreement, rents are adjusted monthly for changes of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Future rents reported above reflect the most recent LIBOR effected rental payment. NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT - ------------------ The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at June 30, 1996. In the opinion of American Finance Group ("AFG"), the acquisition cost of the equipment did not exceed its fair market value.

In September 1995, the Partnership transferred its 27.02% ownership interest in the United Aircraft, pursuant to the rules for a like-kind exchange for income tax reporting purposes (See Note 3 herein). In November 1995, the Partnership partially replaced the United Aircraft with an 11.74% interest in the Southwest Aircraft, at an aggregate cost of $1,718,912. To acquire the interests in the Southwest Aircraft, the Partnership obtained financing of $1,282,711 from a third-party lender and utilized $436,201 of the cash consideration received from the transfer of the United Aircraft. The remaining ownership interest of 88.26% in the Southwest Aircraft is held by affiliated equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG. Additionally, in March 1996, the Partnership completed the replacement of the United Aircraft with the acquisitions of a 9.71% ownership interest in the Finnair Aircraft and a 17.43% ownership interest in the Reno Aircraft at a total cost to the Partnership of $2,718,900 and $2,367,806, respectively. To acquire the 7 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) ownership interest in the Finnair Aircraft, the Partnership paid $909,035 in cash and obtained financing of $1,809,865 from a third-party lender. To acquire the ownership interest in the Reno Aircraft, the Partnership paid $404,693 in cash and obtained financing of $1,963,113 from a third-party lender. The remaining ownership interests of 90.29% and 82.57% in the Finnair Aircraft and Reno Aircraft, respectively, are held by affiliated equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG. At June 30, 1996, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment having a proportionate original cost of $16,945,333, representing approximately 56% of total equipment cost. The summary above includes equipment held for sale or re-lease with a cost and net book value of approximately $296,000 and $69,000, respectively, at June 30, 1996. The General Partner is actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all equipment not on lease. NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - ----------------------------------- All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership and AFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:
1996 1995 --------- --------- Equipment management fees $ 75,832 $ 83,481 Administrative charges 10,500 10,500 Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties 62,205 53,644 -------- -------- Total $148,537 $147,625 ======== ========
In 1991, the Partnership acquired 900 intermodal cargo containers, at a cost of $1,840,140, and leased such containers to ICCU Containers, S.p.A. ("ICCU"), an affiliate of Clou Investments (U.S.A.), Inc. ("CLOU"), which formerly owned a minority interest in AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership. The ability of ICCU to fulfill all of its obligations under the lease contract deteriorated, in AFG's view, in 1994. As a result, AFG, on the Partnership's behalf, began negotiations with other parties to either assume the lease obligations of ICCU or acquire the containers. As a result of these negotiations, the Partnership transferred 899 containers, having a net book value of $1,037,983, to a third party on November 30, 1994. The Partnership received, as settlement from ICCU and the third party, consideration as follows: (i) a contractual right to receive comparable containers with an estimated fair market value of $1,035,318 and (ii) beneficial assignment of an existing AFG note payable to CLOU which had a principal balance of $370,676 at the date of the transaction. The note has an effective interest rate of 8% and matures on December 31, 1996. AFG will pay all of the note balance plus interest to the Partnership according to the original amortization schedule. A portion of the consideration received was used to satisfy the Partnership's accounts receivable balance of $183,161 outstanding from ICCU at November 30, 1994. The remaining container of the original equipment group was disposed of in 1992 for a stipulated payment as a result of a casualty event. In April 1995, the Partnership replaced 899 of the original containers with comparable containers and leased such containers to a new lessee pursuant to the rules for completing a like-kind exchange for income tax reporting purposes. The carrying value of the new containers, $1,958,034, was reduced by $184,850, representing the amount of gain deferred on the original containers. The Partnership obtained approximately $925,000 of long-term financing in connection with the replacement containers. 8 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At June 30, 1996, the Partnership was owed $306,012 by AFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in July 1996. NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE - ---------------------- Notes payable at June 30, 1996 consisted of installment notes of $8,070,628 payable to banks and institutional lenders. The installment notes bear interest rates ranging between 6% and 9.25%, except for one note which bears a fluctuating interest rate based on LIBOR plus a margin (5.5% at June 30, 1996). All of the installment notes are non-recourse and are collateralized by the equipment and assignment of the related lease payments. Generally, the installment notes will be fully amortized by noncancellable rents. However, the Partnership has balloon payment obligations at the expiration of the primary lease terms related to the Finnair Aircraft and the Reno Aircraft. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value at June 30,1996. The annual maturities of the installment notes payable are as follows: For the year ending June 30, 1997 $2,678,341 1998 1,573,397 1999 2,035,078 2000 612,930 2001 489,381 Thereafter 681,501 ---------- Total $8,070,628 ==========
9 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. - -------------- Three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three and six months - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ended June 30, 1995: - -------------------- Overview - -------- As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with third parties. The Partnership was designed to progress through three principal phases: acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the operations phase, a period of approximately six years, all equipment in the Partnership's portfolio will progress through various stages. Initially, all equipment will generate rental revenue under primary term lease agreements. During the life of the Partnership, these agreements will expire on an intermittent basis and equipment held pursuant to the related leases will be renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and the assessment of such conditions by AFG to obtain the most advantageous economic benefit. Over time, a greater portion of the Partnership's original equipment portfolio will become available for remarketing and cash generated from operations and from sales or refinancings will begin to fluctuate. Ultimately, all equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be dissolved. The Partnership's operations commenced in 1991. Results of Operations - --------------------- For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recognized lease revenue of $1,356,132 and $2,660,995, respectively, compared to $1,419,457 and $2,839,558 for the same periods in 1995. The decrease in lease revenue from 1995 to 1996 reflects the effects of primary lease term expirations and a temporary decline in aircraft lease revenues associated with the Partnership's aircraft exchange (discussed below) which was concluded late in the first quarter of 1996. As a result of this exchange, the Partnership replaced its ownership interest in a Boeing 747-SP, having aggregate quarterly lease revenues of $174,279, with interests in six other aircraft (three Boeing 737 aircraft leased by Southwest Airlines, Inc., two McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft leased by Finnair OY and one McDonnell Douglas MD-87 aircraft leased by Reno Air, Inc.), having aggregate quarterly lease revenues of $266,415. The Finnair Aircraft and the Reno Aircraft were exchanged into the Partnership on March 25 and March 26, 1996, respectively. Accordingly, revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 reflects only a portion of the rents ultimately anticipated from the like-kind exchange. The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership earned interest income of $27,182 and $94,473, respectively, compared to $32,217 and $63,835 for the corresponding periods in 1995. Interest income is typically generated from temporary investment of rental receipts and equipment sales proceeds in short-term instruments. The overall increase in interest income in 1996 compared to 1995 is a result of 10 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Parternship FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION interest of $36,763 earned on cash held in a special-purpose escrow in connection with the like-kind exchange transactions, discussed below. During the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership also earned interest income of $4,615 and $9,230, respectively, on a note receivable from AFG resulting from the settlement with ICCU Containers S.p.A. (See Note 5 to the financial statements) compared to $7,176 and $17,061 for the same periods in 1995. The amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate in relation to prevailing interest rates, the collection of lease revenue, and the proceeds from equipment sales. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment having a net book value of $22,329 to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $39,921 compared to a net loss of $92,591 on equipment having a net book value of $209,282 for the same period in 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment having a net book value of $56,758 to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $27,017 compared to a net loss of $70,273 on equipment having a net book value of $241,605 for the same period in 1995. In September 1995, the Partnership transferred its 27.02% ownership interest in the United Aircraft, pursuant to the rules for a like-kind exchange for income tax reporting purposes (See Note 3 to the financial statements). In November 1995, the Partnership partially replaced the United Aircraft with an 11.74% interest in the Southwest Aircraft, at an aggregate cost of $1,718,912. To acquire the interests in the Southwest Aircraft, the Partnership obtained financing of $1,282,711 from a third-party lender and utilized $436,201 of the cash consideration received from the transfer of the United Aircraft. The remaining ownership interest of 88.26% in the Southwest Aircraft is held by affiliated equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG. Additionally, in March 1996, the Partnership completed the replacement of the United Aircraft with the acquisitions of a 9.71% ownership interest in the Finnair Aircraft and a 17.43% ownership interest in the Reno Aircraft at a total cost to the Partnership of $2,718,900 and $2,367,806, respectively. To acquire the ownership interest in the Finnair Aircraft, the Partnership paid $909,035 and obtained financing of $1,809,865 from a third-party lender. To acquire the ownership interest in the Reno Aircraft, the Partnership paid $404,693 and obtained financing of $1,963,113 from a third-party lender. The remaining ownership interests of 90.29% and 82.57% in the Finnair Aircraft and Reno Aircraft, respectively, are held by affiliated equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG. It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold. The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances, and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will maximize total cash returns for each asset. 11 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial statements may not be indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $954,100 and $1,875,163, respectively, compared to $942,832 and $1,982,276 for the same periods in 1995. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the asset at the date of primary lease expiration on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that equipment is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining economic life. Interest expense was $194,200 and $292,620, or 14.3% and 11% of lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $107,548 and $227,275, or 7.6% and 8% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1995. The increase in interest expense in 1996 compared to 1995 was due primarily to interest incurred in connection with the leveraging obtained to finance the like-kind exchange transactions, discussed above. Interest expense in future periods is expected to decline in amount and as a percentage of lease revenue as the principal balance of notes payable is reduced through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt. Management fees were approximately 2.9% of lease revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Management fees are based on 5% of gross lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenue generated by full payout leases. Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges, professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing, distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented 3.6% and 2.7% of lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 2.1% and 2.3% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1995. The increase in operating expenses from 1995 to 1996 is due principally to costs incurred in connection with the like-kind exchange transactions, discussed above. The amount of future operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities. Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows - ------------------------------------------------------------ The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an equipment leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents. These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with leveraged leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating activities generated net cash inflows of $2,362,950 and $2,483,577 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will continue to cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's lease revenue and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities will decline as the Partnership experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events. 12 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the underlying lease agreements. Cash expended for equipment acquisitions and cash realized from asset disposal transactions are reported under investing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership expended $37,677 in cash in connection with the like-kind exchange transactions referred to above. There were no equipment acquisitions in the corresponding period in 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership realized $83,775 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $171,332 for the same period in 1995. Future inflows of cash from asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future market conditions. The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain equipment leases. The repayments of principal are reported as a component of financing activities. Each note payable is recourse only to the specific equipment financed and to the minimum rental payments contracted to be received during the debt amortization period (which period generally coincides with the lease rental term). As rental payments are collected, a portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay the associated indebtedness. In future periods, the amount of cash used to repay debt obligations will decline as the principal balance of notes payable is reduced through the collection and application of rents. However, the Partnership has balloon payment obligations at the expiration of the respective primary lease terms related to the Finnair Aircraft and the Reno Aircraft. Cash distributions to the General and Limited Partners are declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component of financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $1,279,226. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Limited Partners were allocated 95% of these distributions, or $1,215,265 and the General Partner was allocated 5%, or $63,961. The second quarter 1996 cash distribution was paid on July 15, 1996. Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both a return of and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio. 13 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the outcome of residual activities. The General Partner anticipates that cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for distribution in future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization. In addition, the Partnership may be required to incur asset refurbishment or upgrade costs in connection with future remarketing activities. Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash distributions will occur during the life of the Partnership. 14 AMERICAN INCOME FUND I-E, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership FORM 10-Q PART II.
