LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We have been able to meet our liquidity and capital resource requirements by utilizing several sources, including:
 
  •   lines of credit, our securitizations, term financings, and other secured borrowings;

  •   our public offerings of common shares;
 
  •   prior to our initial public offering, equity contributions from funds managed by affiliates of Fortress;
 
  •   aircraft lease revenues and maintenance payments;
 
  •   principal and interest payments from our debt investments; and
 
  •   asset sales.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we acquired commercial jet aircraft and made capital improvements to our aircraft portfolio totaling $264.6 million. We expect to fund approximately $137.0 million of purchase obligations for aircraft pre-delivery and conversion payments during the next twelve months. In addition, at December 31, 2008, we expect capital expenditures and lessee maintenance payment draws on our owned and committed aircraft portfolio to be approximately $105.0 million to $115.0 million, excluding freighter conversion payments (see Purchase Obligations in “Contractual Obligations” below), and we expect maintenance payment collections from lessees on our owned aircraft portfolio of approximately equal to the expected expenditures and draws over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the capital expenditures, our contributions to maintenance events and lessee maintenance payment draws described above will not be greater than expected or that our expected maintenance payment collections or disbursements will equal our current estimates.
 
We believe that cash on hand and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs, including our pre-delivery payments, required debt amortization, expected capital expenditures and lessor contributions over the next twelve months. In addition, potential asset sales and an anticipated future financing facility to fund a portion of the Airbus pre-delivery payments may provide additional sources of liquidity over that time frame. We repaid the outstanding amount on our Amended Credit Facility No. 2 (as defined below) before its December 2008 expiration. Further, we let our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) expire, and have no current plans to replace this facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we acquired commercial jet aircraft and made capital improvements to our aircraft portfolio totaling $229.7 million. We expect to fund approximately $86.8 million of purchase obligations for aircraft pre-delivery and conversion payments during the next twelve months. In addition, at September 30, 2008, we expect capital expenditures and lessee maintenance payment draws on our owned and committed aircraft portfolio to be approximately $129.0 million, excluding freighter conversion payments (see Purchase Obligations in “Contractual Obligations” below) and we expect maintenance payment collections from lessees on our owned aircraft portfolio of approximately $136.0 million over the next twelve months. In addition, there can be no assurance that the capital expenditures and lessee maintenance payment draws described above will not be greater than expected or that our expected maintenance payment collections or disbursements will equal our current estimates.
 
We believe that cash on hand, funds generated from operations, planned asset sales, and an expected financing facility to fund a portion of the Airbus pre-delivery payments, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. We currently expect to repay the outstanding amount on our Amended Credit Facility No. 2 before its December 2008 expiry. Further, we intend to let our Revolving Credit Facility expire as well, and have no current plans to replace this facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we acquired commercial jet aircraft and made capital improvements to our aircraft portfolio totaling $221.3 million. We expect to fund approximately $175.2 million of purchase obligations for aircraft pre-delivery and conversion payments during the next twelve months. In addition, at June 30, 2008, we expect capital expenditures and lessee maintenance payment draws on our owned and committed aircraft portfolio to be approximately $129.9 million, excluding freighter conversion payments (see Purchase Obligations in “Contractual Obligations” below) and we expect maintenance payment collections from lessees on our owned aircraft portfolio of approximately $120.1 million over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire the additional aircraft described above, and no assurance regarding the time and amount of such acquisition. In addition, there can be no assurance that the capital expenditures described above will not be greater than expected or that our expected maintenance payment collections will equal our current estimates.
 
We believe that funds available from operations and our credit facilities, including Term Financing No. 1 and future extensions, replacements and re-financings of our existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs over the next twelve months and enable us to pay dividends to our common shareholders.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The acquisition of aircraft and debt securities drives our growth and fuels our need for liquidity. We have been able to meet our liquidity requirements from several sources, including:

 

Lines of credit, our securitization, and other secured borrowings;

 

Our public offerings of common shares;

 

Prior to our initial public offering, equity contributions from the Fortress funds;

 

Aircraft lease revenues and maintenance payments; and

 

Principal and interest payments from our debt investments.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, we acquired $882.9 million of commercial jet aircraft and related capital improvements and $92.7 million of debt securities secured by commercial jet aircraft, for a total of $976.6 million. We expect to acquire a substantial amount of aviation assets over the next twelve months, including approximately $1.0 billion of aircraft to be delivered under the Acquisition Agreement, approximately $211.4 million that were subject to letters of intent at December 31, 2006 and additional

acquisitions that we may enter into from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In addition, at December 31, 2006, we expect capital expenditures and lessee maintenance payment draws on our owned and committed aircraft portfolio to be approximately $22.6 million over the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire such additional aircraft, or regarding the timing and amount of such acquisitions, or that such capital expenditures will not exceed the expected amount. It is our intention to fund future aircraft acquisitions, including the aircraft to be acquired from GAIF under the Acquisition Agreement, initially through borrowings under our credit facilities, and to repay all or a portion of such borrowings from time to time with the net proceeds from subsequent securitizations and additional equity issuances. It is also our intention to finance investments in debt securities with borrowings arranged at the time of the investment which may include entering into repurchase agreements. Therefore, our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly the growth of our acquisitions, depends to a significant degree on our ability to obtain additional debt and equity capital. Given the volume of aircraft acquisitions and opportunities to invest in debt securities, we expect to execute additional securitizations and may seek to execute additional equity offerings during the course of the next 12 months. Decisions by investors and lenders to enter into such transactions with us will depend upon a number of factors, such as our historical and projected performance, compliance with the terms of our current credit arrangements, industry and market trends, the availability of capital and the relative attractiveness of alternative investments. We believe that funds will be available to satisfy our liquidity needs over the next twelve months and enable us to pay dividends to our common shareholders as contemplated by our dividend policy. However, future deterioration in our performance or our markets could limit our ability to access these sources of financing and/or increase our cost of capital, which may negatively impact our ability to raise additional funds, grow our business and to pay dividends to our common shareholders.
