      NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 The financial statements presented herein are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions for preparing Form 10-QSB under Rule 310 of Regulation S-B of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are unaudited. Rule 310 provides that disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to shareholders may be omitted from interim financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on that basis and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes presented in the 2002 Annual Report (Form 10-K) of AFG Investment Trust C (the Trust). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information presented in the notes to the 2002 Annual Report in Form 10-K.
 
 In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Trusts financial position at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, statements of changes in participants capital for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 have been made and are reflected. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2003 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total assets, total liabilities, participants' capital, or net income (loss).
 
 NOTE 2  FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENT
 
 In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Trust reversed depreciation of approximately $0.4 million relating to one of its aircraft. Approximately $0.1 million related to each of the three months ended March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002. Depreciation and amortization expense previously reported in the quarterly report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 was $0.8 million and $1.7 million, resulting in net loss of $1.3 million and net income of $0.1 million, respectively. The respective quarterly statements of financial position have been adjusted to reflect this reversal.
 
 </TABLE> NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT
 
 The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Trust at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the number of months remaining from June 30, 2003 under contracted lease terms and is presented as a range when more than one lease agreement is contained in the stated equipment category. A Remaining Lease term equal to zero reflects equipment either held for sale, re-lease or being leased on a month-to-month basis. Equipment consists of the following at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 (in thousands of dollars):

$ 17,756 </TABLE>
 At June 30, 2003, equipment with an original cost of $30.9 million was proportionately owned with other affiliated entities.
 
 At June 30, 2003, the Trusts ownership interest in aircraft and related lease payment streams are used to secure term loans with third-party lenders. The preceding summary of equipment includes leveraged equipment having an original cost of $37.4 million and a net book value of $15.7 million at June 30, 2003.
 
 The summary above includes off-lease equipment held for re-lease with an original cost of $0.4 million and a net book value of $15,000. The Managing Trustee is actively seeking to re-lease or sell all equipment not on lease.
 
 The Trust accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of the assets may not be recoverable from undiscounted future cash flows.
 
 During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Trust evaluated the aircraft which is secured by non-recourse debt, in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The recoverable value of the aircraft was determined based on managements assumption that the asset would not be sold or re-leased but rather returned to the lender. If the Company anticipated selling or re-leasing the asset, the recoverable value would have been significantly lower which would have resulted in an impairment. The aircrafts fair value was determined by an independent third party. The appraiser made several assumptions when calculating the fair value. The appraiser assumed the aircraft will sell at current market prices which are based on todays market conditions which included a thorough review of recent market activity and known transaction data involving the subject aircraft types. In addition, the appraiser considered the perceived current demand for the asset, its availability on the market, and expressed views of the industry. The appraiser also considered the most reasonable value on an open market under conditions requisite to a fair sale and the effects of the airline industry following the events of September 11, 2001. No impairments to equipment were required in the six months ended June 30, 2003 During the six months ended June 30, 2002, as a result of a continuous decrease in market demand for aircraft due to the deterioration in the airline industry following the events of September 11, 2001, the Trust determined the projected future undiscounted cash flows were lower than the carrying value of its aircraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Trust recorded a write-down of equipment of $0.5 million, which represented an impairment to the carrying value of the Trusts interest in a McDonnell Douglas MD-87 aircraft.
 
 NOTE 4 - INTEREST IN EFG/KETTLE DEVELOPMENT LLC
 
 The Trust and AFG Investment Trust D ("Trust D") own EFG/Kettle Development LLC (Kettle Valley), a Delaware limited liability company, which owns a 49.9% indirect ownership interest in a real estate development in Kelowna, British Columbia in Canada, called Kettle Valley. To date, 177 residential units have been constructed and sold and 14 additional units are under construction.
 
 In addition, the seller of the Trust's interest in Kettle Valley purchased a residual sharing interest in a Boeing 767-300 aircraft owned by the Trust and Trust D and leased to an independent third party. The seller paid approximately $3.0 million to the Buyers ($1.5 million or 50% to the Trust) for the residual interest, which is subordinate to certain preferred payments to be made to the Trust and Trust D in connection with the aircraft. Payment of the residual interest is due only to the extent that the Trust receives net residual proceeds from the aircraft. The residual interest is non-recourse to the Buyers and is included as Other Liabilities on the accompanying Statements of Financial Position at both June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.
 
 The Trusts ownership interest in Kettle Valley is accounted for on the equity method and the Trust recorded income of $12,000 and a loss of $27,000 for the three and six month period ended June 30,2003, respectively, compared to income of $7,000 and a loss of $0.1 million for the same periods in 2002. At June 30, 2003, the Trust recorded a foreign currency translation adjustment of $0.5 million, included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reported as part of statements of changes in participants capital, reflecting a strengthening of Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar at the end of the second quarter of 2003. Translation adjustments for prior periods have been immaterial.

 NOTE 5 - INTEREST IN EFG KIRKWOOD LLC

The Trust holds 40% of EFG Kirkwoods Class A membership interests.
 
 The Trusts ownership interest in EFG Kirkwood is accounted for on the equity method.  For the  three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Trust recorded a loss of $0.4 million and income of $0.8 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.7 million and income of $0.8 million for the same periods in 2002, which represented its pro-rata share of the net income (loss) of EFG Kirkwood.

 </TABLE> NOTE 6 - INTEREST IN MILPI HOLDINGS, LLC
 
 The Trust has a non-controlling ownership interest in MILPI Holdings, LLC (MILPI), which is accounted for on the equity method. In May 2003, MILPI acquired AFG Investment Trust A and B Liquidating Trusts interest in MILPI for $5.4 million. The acquisition was financed through MILPIs existing cash reserves. As a consequence of the acquisition, the Trust and Trust Ds non-controlling ownership interest in MILPI increased to 50% per trust.
 
 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 the Trust recorded a loss of $8,000 and income of $0.4 million, respectively, compared to income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in 2002, which represented its pro-rata share of the net income of MILPI.
 
 In February 2003, the Trust filed a proxy statement soliciting the shareholders on several articles proposed by the Managing Trustee including approval of the purchase of Semeles interest in Rancho Malibu Limited Partnership. Subsequently, the Trusts shareholders approved all of the articles included in the proxy statement. On March 17, 2003, Semele and Rancho Malibu Corp. contributed all of the partnership interest in Rancho Malibu Limited Partnership along with 100% of the membership interests Semele held in RM Financing LLC to RMLP, Inc., in exchange for $5.5 million in cash, a $2.5 million promissory note and 182 shares of common stock of RMLP, Inc., approximately 15% interest in RMLP, Inc. The effect of this transaction on the Trusts financial statement was to increase its investment in MILPI and the corresponding participants capital by $0.8 million.
 
 In the second quarter of 2003, Rancho Malibu amended its partnership agreement to include an unrelated third party investor as an additional partner. The purpose of the partnership is to complete the construction of forty-six residential homes. This partner contributed $2.0 million to the partnership and is the Development General Partner. In addition to the initial contribution, this partner, as the Development General Partner, will be responsible for the coordination and management of the construction activities. In accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51 and 84 ("SAB 51 and 84") to reflect the issuance of partnership interest to the additional partner, the Trust recorded a gain of $0.4 million, the transaction is reflected as an equity transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Participants' Equity as "Increase in capital related to issuance of partnership interest in equity investment."
 
 The table below provides summarized consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, and consolidated income statement data for MILPI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively (in thousands of dollars):

 NOTE 7  INTEREST IN C & D IT LLC
 
 The Trust and Trust D each own 50% of C & D IT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in which each Trust contributed $1.0 million.
 
 In the second quarter of 2003, Rancho Malibu amended its partnership agreement to include an additional partner, as mentioned above. In accordance with the provisions of SAB 51 and 84 to reflect the issuance of partnership interest to the additional partner, the Trust recorded a gain of $0.2 million, the transaction is reflected as an equity transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Participants' Equity as "Increase in capital related to issuance of partnership interest in equity investment."
 
 NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
 Various operating expenses incurred by the Trust are paid by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership (EFG) on behalf of the Trust and EFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, which were paid or accrued by the Trust to EFG or its affiliates, are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

 Administrative charges represent amounts owed to EFG, pursuant to Section 10.4(c) of the Trust Agreement, for persons employed by EFG who are engaged in providing administrative services to the Trust. Prior to June 2002, an affiliated company supported the administrative function.
 
 All rents and proceeds from the disposition of equipment are paid directly to either EFG or to a lender. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Trust. At June 30, 2003, the Trust was owed $0.1 million by EFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Trust in July 2003.
 
 NOTE 9 - NOTES PAYABLE
 
 Notes payable at June 30, 2003 consisted of two installment notes totaling $16.9 million payable to banks and institutional lenders. The notes bear a fixed interest rate of 8% and 9%. Both of the installment notes are non-recourse and are collateralized by the Trusts aircraft and certain manufacturing equipment and the assignment of the related lease payments. These notes will be partially amortized by the remaining contracted lease payments. The Trust has balloon payment obligations of $16.1 million at the expiration of the debt in December 2003. Management believes however, the aircraft associated with the non-recourse debt would not be sold for an amount sufficient to cover the balloon payment or re-leased for an amount that would for the debt to be refinanced, it is therefore likely that the aircraft will be returned to the lender. As a result the Trust would not be required to make the balloon payment in December 2003.
 </TABLE>
 NOTE 10  CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITTMENTS
 
 The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Trust has active business operations in the financial services industry, primarily equipment leasing, and in the real estate industry through its interests in EFG Kirkwood, C & D IT LLC, Kettle Valley and MILPI through its ownership in Rancho Malibu. The Trust does not intend to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require the Trust to register as an investment company under the Act. However, it is possible that the Trust may have unintentionally engaged in an activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the Act. If the Trust were determined to be an investment company, its business would be adversely affected. The Managing Trustee has engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding whether or not the Trust may be an inadvertent investment company by virtue of its recent acquisition activities. The Managing Trustee has consulted counsel and believes that the Trust is not an investment company. The Act, among other things, prohibits an unregistered investment company from offering securities for disposition or engaging in any business or interstate commerce. If necessary, the Trust intends to avoid being deemed an investment company by disposing of certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose of.
 </TABLE>
 </TABLE>
 NOTE 11 - SEGMENT REPORTING

 NOTE 12RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
 In January 2003, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). This interpretation clarifies existing accounting principles related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when the equity investors in an entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires a company to evaluate all existing arrangements to identify situations where a company has a variable interest, commonly evidenced by a guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide financial support, in a variable interest entity, commonly a thinly capitalized entity, and further determine when such variable interest requires a company to consolidate the variable interest entities financial statement with its own. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.  It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003.   Based on the recent release of this interpretation, we have not completed our assessment as to whether or not the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
 In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity . Statement No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In addition, the Statement requires an issuer to classify certain instruments with specific characteristics described in it as liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management does not expect that the adoption of Statement No. 150 will have a significant impact on either its financial position or results of operations.
 
 
 
      
 AFG INVESTMENT TRUST C
 
 FORM 10-QSB
 
 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
 
 
 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
 Forward Looking Statements
 
 Certain statements in this quarterly report of AFG Investment Trust C (the Trust) that are not historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These factors include, but are not limited to, the collection of the Trusts contracted rents, the realization of residual proceeds for the Trusts equipment, the performance of the Trusts non-equipment assets including minority owned investments which the Trust does not control, and future economic conditions.
 
 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Managing Trustee to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. On a regular basis, the Managing Trustee reviews these estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, asset lives and depreciation, impairment of long-lived assets and contingencies. These estimates are based on the Managing Trustees historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Managing Trustee believes, however, that the estimates, including those for the above-listed items, are reasonable.
 
 The Managing Trustee believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, are subject to significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements:
 
 Revenue Recognition: Rents are payable to the Trust monthly or quarterly and are calculated on the passage of time. The Trusts leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable. Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred.
 
 Asset lives and depreciation method: The Trusts primary business involves the purchase and subsequent lease of long-lived equipment. The Trust's depreciation policy is intended to allocate the cost of equipment over the period during which it produces economic benefit. The principal period of economic benefit is considered to correspond to each asset's primary lease term, which generally represents the period of greatest revenue potential for each asset. Accordingly, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Trust depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the asset 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 the primary lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease term, the Trust continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining economic life.
 
 Impairment of long-lived assets: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying bases of such assets may not be recoverable. Losses for impairment are recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows estimated to be realized from a long-lived asset are determined to be less than the carrying basis of the asset. The determination of net realizable value for a given investment requires several considerations, including but not limited to, income expected to be earned from the asset, estimated sales proceeds, and holding costs excluding interest.
 
 Contingencies and litigation: The Trust is subject to legal proceedings involving ordinary and routine claims related to its business when quantifiable, estimates for losses from litigation are made after consultation with outside counsel. If estimates of potential losses increase or the related facts and circumstances change in the future, the Trust may be required to adjust amounts recorded in its financial statements.
 
 The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Trust has active business operations in the financial services industry, primarily equipment leasing, and in the real estate industry through its interests in EFG Kirkwood LLC (EFG Kirkwood), C & D IT LLC, EFG/Kettle Development LLC (Kettle Valley) and RMLP, a wholly owned subsidiary of MILPI Holdings, LLC (MILPI). The Trust does not intend to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require the Trust to register as an investment company under the Act. However, it is possible that the Trust may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the Act. AFG ASIT Corporation (Managing Trustee) has engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding whether or not the Trust may be an inadvertent investment company by virtue of its recent acquisition activities. The Managing Trustee has consulted counsel and believes that the Trust is not an investment company. If the Trust was determined to be an investment company, its business would be adversely affected. The Act, among other things, prohibits an unregistered investment company from offering securities for sale or engaging in any business or interstate commerce. If necessary, the Trust intends to avoid being deemed an investment company by disposing of certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose of.
 
 Segment Reporting
 
 The Trust has three principal operating segments: 1) Equipment Leasing 2) Equipment Management and 3) Real Estate Ownership, Development & Management. The Equipment Leasing segment includes acquiring and leasing to third parties equipment. The Trust is no longer allowed to purchase new equipment as its acquisition phase has ended. The Equipment Management segment includes the Trust's interest in MILPI, which owns 100% of PLM International, Inc. (PLM) an equipment leasing and asset management company. The Real Estate segment includes the ownership, management and development of commercial properties, recreational properties, condominiums, interval ownership units, townhomes, single family homes and land sales included in the Trusts ownership interests in EFG Kirkwood, C & D IT LLC, and Kettle Valley and MILPI through its newly formed subsidiary RMLP, Inc. Other includes corporate assets, which consist of cash and certain receivables.
 
 The Trusts reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies and management expertise. There are no material intersegment sales or transfers.

 Three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002:
 
 Results of Operations
 
 Equipment Leasing
 
 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Trust recognized lease revenue of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for same period in 2002. The decrease in lease revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 resulted primarily from lease term expirations and the disposition of equipment. Future equipment sales will result in a reduction in the lease revenue recognized as the Trust is no longer allowed to purchase equipment.
 
 The Trust's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Trust holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the remaining interests are owned by an affiliated trust. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Trust 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 Trust 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.
 
 Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was $33,000 and $54,000, respectively, compared to $2,000 and $6,000, respectively, for the same period in 2002. Interest income is typically generated from the temporary investment of rental receipts, equipment sales proceeds in short-term instruments and loans made to affiliates and increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 in comparison due to an increase in interest income earned on the loan receivable due from Kettle Valley Development LLC.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Trust sold equipment having a net book value of $4,000 to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain of $2,000 and a loss of $1,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Trust sold equipment having a net book value of $2.4 million and $2.6 million to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net loss of $0.2 million for both periods ended June 30, 2002.
 
 Depreciation expense was $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively compared to $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2002. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease in depreciation for the respective periods is attributable to the disposition of the Trusts leasing equipment. Depreciation and amortization is expected to continue to decline in the future as the Trusts equipment portfolio is sold and not replaced.
 
 During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Trust recorded an impairment to the carrying value of the Trusts interest in a McDonnell Douglas MD-87 aircraft, as a result of continuous decrease in market demand for aircrafts due to the effects of September 11, 2001. The resulting charge of $0.5 million was based on a comparison of estimated fair value and carrying value of the Trusts interest in the aircraft. The events of September 11, 2001, along with a recession in the United States have continued to adversely affect the market demand for both new and used commercial aircraft. No impairments were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.
 
 Interest expense on third party debt was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2002. The decrease in interest expense for each of the respective periods is attributable to lower average outstanding debt balances in the periods ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002.
 
 Management fees- affiliate from equipment leasing and non-equipment management were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 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, subject to certain limitations.
 
 Operating expenses were $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the same three and six month period in 2002. Other operating expenses consist primarily of administrative charges, professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing and remarketing expenses. 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 trust. Other fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities.
 
 Equipment Management
 
 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 the Trust recorded loss of $8,000 and income $0.4 million, respectively, compared to income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in 2002, which represented its pro-rata share of the net income of MILPI under the equity method of accounting. PLM is primarily an equipment leasing and asset management company.
 
 MILPI Operating Results
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, MILPI recognized revenues of $1.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2002. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 consisted primarily of management fees of $1.3 million and lease revenue of $0.1 million. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 consisted primarily of management fees of $2.7 million, $0.6 million of acquisition and lease negotiation fees, $0.2 million gain on disposition of equipment and $0.1 million of lease revenue. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are comprised primarily of management fees of $1.5 million and $0.1 million of interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenues were comprised of management fees of $2.9 million and $0.2 million of interest income. The decrease in management fees from 2003 compared to 2002 is due to a decrease of equipment managed by MILPI. Acquisition and lease negotiation fees increased in 2003 by $0.6 million due to more equipment being placed in PLM managed programs during 2003 compared to 2002.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, MILPI incurred total expenses of $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the same period in 2002. Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are comprised of operational support expenses of $0.9 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million impairment of MILPIs investments in the managed programs. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, expenses are comprised primarily of operational support expenses of $1.7 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million impairment of MILPIs investments in the managed programs, partially offset by a net interest income of $0.1 million. Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are comprised of operational support expenses of $0.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $30,000.
 
 For the six months ended June 30, 2002, operating expenses are comprised of operational support expenses of $1.3 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $0.1 million. The increase in total expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002, is attributable to an increase in general and administrative costs of $0.4 million. As a result of newly acquired equipment, depreciation increased $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2002. In addition, the increase is attributable to an impairment charge of $0.3 million to MILPIs investments in the managed growth funds which was recorded during 2003. A similar charge was not recorded in 2002.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, MILPI incurred income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 36% for the six month period. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2002, MILPI incurred income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 32% for the six month period. The effective tax rate increased 4% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due to increased taxable income.
 
 Real Estate
 
 Management fees paid to EFG for non-equipment assets were $21,000 and $42,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Management fees for non-equipment assets, excluding cash, are 1% of the original equipment cost of such assets under management.
 
 In February 2003, the Trust filed a proxy statement soliciting the shareholders on several articles proposed by the Managing Trustee including approval of the purchase of Semeles interest in Rancho Malibu Limited Partnership. Subsequently, the Trusts shareholders approved all of the articles included in the proxy statement. On March 17, 2003, Semele and Rancho Malibu Corp. contributed all of the partnership interest in Rancho Malibu Limited Partnership along with 100% of the membership interests Semele held in RM Financing LLC to RMLP, Inc., in exchange for $5.5 million in cash, a $2.5 million promissory note and 182 shares of common stock of RMLP, Inc., approximately 15% interest in RMLP, Inc. The effect of this transaction on the Trusts financial statement was to increase its investment in MILPI and the corresponding participants capital by $0.8 million.
 
 In the second quarter of 2003, Rancho Malibu amended its partnership agreement to include an unrelated third party investor as an additional partner. The purpose of the partnership is to complete the construction of forty-six residential homes. This partner contributed $2.0 million to the partnership and is the Development General Partner. In addition to the initial contribution, this partner, as the Development General Partner, will be responsible for the coordination and management of the construction activities. In accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51 and 84 ("SAB 51 and 84") to reflect the issuance of partnership interest to the additional partner, the Trust recorded a net increase in capital of $0.4 million, the transaction is reflected as an equity transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Participants' Equity as "Increase in capital related to issuance of partnership interest in equity investment."
 
 The Trust has an approximately 49% ownership interest in Kettle Valley. The Trusts ownership interest in Kettle Valley is accounted for on the equity method and the Trust recorded income of $12,000 and a loss of $27,000 for the three and six month period ended June 30,2003, respectively, compared to income of $7,000 and a loss of $0.1 million for the same periods in 2002. At June 30, 2003, the Trust recorded a foreign currency translation adjustment of $0.5 million, included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reported as part of statements of changes in participants capital, reflecting a strengthening of Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar at the end of the second quarter of 2003.
 
 The Trust owns 40% of the Class A membership interests of EFG Kirkwood, a joint venture between the Trust, certain affiliated trusts, and Semele Group Inc. ("Semele"). AFG ASIT Corporation, the Managing Trustee of the Trust and a subsidiary of Semele, is the manager of EFG Kirkwood.
 
 EFG Kirkwood owns membership interests in:
 
 Mountain Resort Holdings LLC (Mountain Resort) and
 Mountain Springs Resort LLC (Mountain Springs).
 
 
 Mountain Resort, through four wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates the Kirkwood Mountain Resort, a ski resort located in northern California, a public utility that services the local community, and land that is held for residential and commercial development. Mountain Springs, through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns a controlling interest in DSC/Purgatory LLC ("Purgatory") in Durango, Colorado.
 
 The Trusts ownership interest in EFG Kirkwood is accounted for on the equity method.  For the  three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Trust recorded a loss of $0.4 million and income of $0.8 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.7 million and income of $0.8 million for the same periods in 2002, which represented its pro-rata share of the net income (loss) of EFG Kirkwood. Due to the seasonal nature of EFG Kirkwoods operations, the financial results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are not indicative of future periods. These six month periods include the periods of peak income activity for the resorts. Due to the seasonal nature of EFG Kirkwoods operations, the financial results of the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not indicative of future periods. This six month period includes significant first quarter peak income activity for the resorts.
 
 Kettle Valley
 
 Kettle Valley is a real estate development company located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The project, which is being developed by Kettle Valley Development Limited Partnership (KVD LP), consists of 280 acres of land that is zoned for 1,120 residential units in addition to commercial space. To date, 177 residential units have been constructed and sold and 14 additional units are under construction.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, KVD LP recorded revenues of $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2002. The increase in revenue for the three and six moths ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 is attributable to an increase in the completion and sale of residential lots and homes during 2003 compared to 2002. The increase in residential sales is attributable to lower residential mortgage rates. As such, residential sales may decline in the future if rates increase.
 
 KVD LP incurred total expenses of $1.9 million and $2.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2002. The increase in total expenses for the three and six moths ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 is attributable to the cost of sales associated with the increased sales of residential lots and homes.
 
 Mountain Resort Operating Results
 
 Mountain Resort is primarily a ski and mountain recreation resort with more than 2,000 acres of terrain, located approximately 32 miles south of Lake Tahoe. The resort receives the majority of its revenues from winter ski operations, primarily ski, lodging, retail and food and beverage services with the remainder of the revenues generated from summer outdoor activities, including mountain biking, hiking and other activities. Other operations include a real estate development division, which has developed and is managing a 40-unit condominium residential and commercial building, an electric and gas utility company, which operates as a regulated utility company and provides electric and gas services to the Kirkwood community, and a real estate brokerage company.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, Mountain Resort recorded total revenues of $5.0 million and $21.7 million, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $20.5 million for the same period in 2002, respectively. The increase of $0.9 million or 22% in total revenues during the three month period June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 is the result of an increase in ski-related revenues and residential-related revenues. Ski-related revenues increased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The increase is due to improved weather conditions during the winter season, which attracted more skiers. Residential-related and other operations revenues increased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of condominium sales during 2003 compared to 2002. During the six month period ended June 30, 2003, total revenues increased by $1.2 million or 6% compared to the same period in 2002. The increase is attributable to an increase in residential-related revenues.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, Mountain Resort recorded total expenses of $5.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $16.6 million for the same periods in 2002. The increase in total expenses of $0.4 million or 7% for the three month period June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, is primarily attributable to a increase in non-ski related operating expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 operating expenses increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of an increase in cost of sales from condominium units sold in the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, as also discussed above.
 
 Mountain Springs
 
 Mountain Springs is a ski and mountain recreation resort covering 2,500 acres, situated on 40 miles of terrain with 75 ski trails located near Durango, Colorado. Mountain Springs receives the majority of its revenues from winter ski operations, primarily ski, lodging, retail and food and beverage services, with the remainder of revenues generated from summer outdoor activities, such as alpine sliding and mountain biking.
 
 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, Mountain Springs recorded total revenues of $0.9 million and $9.7 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $9.9 million for the same periods in 2002. The increase of $0.6 million in total revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002 is the result of favorable weather conditions during the winter season, which attracted more skiers.
 
 Total expenses were $3.0 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $3.2 million and $9.3 million for the same periods in 2002. The increase in total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 200 compared to the same period in 2002 of $0.2 million is a result of increased general and administrative costs during 2003.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
 
 The Trust by its nature is a limited life entity. The Trust's principal operating activities derive from asset rental transactions. Cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated the assets, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating activities provided cash of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
 
 Rents receivable increased by $0.2 million or 118% in the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The increase in rents receivable is attributable to the timing of cash receipts. During the three month period ended June 30, 2003, one month of lease payments was outstanding related to the Boeing 767-300ER. In July 2003, all lease payments related to the Boeing 767-300ER were paid and are current.
 
 Accounts receivable-affiliate decreased by $47,000, or 39%. Receivable from affiliates consists of rent or proceeds from the disposition of equipment by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership (EFG), an affiliated entity. All rents and proceeds from the disposition of equipment are paid directly to either EFG or to a lender. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow account and remits to the Trust on a monthly basis. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Trust was owed $0.1 million by EFG for such funds. Each of these amounts were paid in the following month. The decrease in accounts receivable-affiliate during the six month period ended June 30, 2003, is attributable to the timing and remittance of rents and proceeds mentioned above.
 
 The Trusts investment in Kettle Valley increased by $0.4 million or 12% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The increase is attributable to a foreign currency translation adjustment of $0.5 million partially offset by a equity loss of $27,000 for the six month period ended June 30,2003. At June 30, 2003, the Trust recorded a foreign currency translation adjustment of $0.5 million, included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reported as part of statements of changes in participants capital, reflecting a strengthening of Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar at the end of the second quarter of 2003.
 
 Investment in EFG Kirkwood increased by $0.8 million or 36% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The increase is attributable to equity income of $0.8 million recorded during the period. Due to the seasonal nature of EFG Kirkwoods operations, the financial results of the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not indicative of future periods. This six month period includes significant first quarter peak income activity for the resorts.
 
 The Trusts interest in MILPI increased by $1.6 million or 16% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The increase in the investment was attributable to equity income of $0.4 million and an increase in capital of $1.2 million related to the issuance of partnership interest to an additional partner as mentioned above.
 
 Equipment held for lease decreased by $1.0 million or 6% during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily attributable to depreciation expense recorded during the period
 
 The Trusts balance in notes payable decreased by $1.2 million or 7% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in attributable to principal payments made during the period.
 
 The Trusts equipment includes a commercial aircraft. The events of September 11, 2001, along with a recession in the United States, have continued to adversely affect the market demand for both new and used commercial aircraft and weakened the financial position of most airlines. The resulting decline in air travel has suppressed market prices for used aircraft and inhibited the viability of some airlines. In addition, during 2003 severe acute repertory syndrome (SARS) has led to a dramatic decline in passenger travel in Asia. The Trustee does not expect aircraft values to return to their previous levels for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2003, the Trust considers all rents owed from aircraft lessees to be collectible. The Trust is monitoring developments in the airline industry and will continue to evaluate potential implications to the Trusts financial position and future liquidity.
 
 At lease inception, the Trusts equipment was leased by a number of creditworthy, investment-grade companies and, to date, the Trust has not experienced any material collection problems and has not considered it necessary to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts. Notwithstanding a positive collection history, there is no assurance that all future contracted rents will be collected or that the credit quality of the Trusts leases will be maintained. The credit quality of an individual lease may deteriorate after the lease is entered into. Collection risk could increase in the future, particularly as the Trust remarkets its equipment and enters re-lease agreements with different lessees. The Managing Trustee will continue to evaluate and monitor the Trusts experience in collecting accounts receivable to determine whether a future allowance for doubtful accounts may become appropriate.
 
 At June 30, 2003, the Trust was due aggregate future minimum lease payments of $1.5 million from contractual lease agreements, a portion of which will be used to amortize the principal balance of notes payable of $16.9 million. Additional cash inflows may be realized from future remarketing activities, such as lease renewals and equipment sales, the timing and extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty. This is because the timing and extent of equipment sales is often dependent upon the needs and interests of the existing lessees. Some lessees may choose to renew their lease contracts, while others may elect to return the equipment. In the latter instances, the equipment could be re-leased to another lessee or sold to a third party. Accordingly, the cash flows of the Trust will become less predictable as the Trust remarkets its equipment.
 
 During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Trust sold equipment for proceeds of $3,000. Future inflows of cash from equipment 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.
 
 At June 30, 2003, the Trust has a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in MILPI. In May 2003, MILPI acquired both AFG Investment Trust A Liquidating Trust and AFG Investment Trust B Liquidating Trusts interest in MILPI for $5.4 million. The Trust and Trust C each own a non-controlling 50% ownership of MILPI. The acquisition was financed through MILPIs existing cash reserves. As a consequence of the acquisition, the Trusts ownership interest in MILPI increased to from 38% to 50%. MILPI plans to utilize its remaining cash reserves and cash generated from operations to acquire additional equipment and to grow its equipment management portfolio. MILPI does not anticipate any distributions in the near future.
 
 
 
 Rancho Malibu owns a 274-acre parcel of land near Malibu, California, which is being developed into a single-family luxury residential subdivision. On March 17, 2003, Semele and Rancho Malibu Corp. contributed all of the partnership interest in Rancho Malibu Limited Partnership (Rancho Malibu) along with 100% of the membership interests Semele held in RM Financing LLC to RMLP, Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of MILPI, in exchange for $5.5 million in cash, a $2.5 million promissory note and 182 shares of common stock of RMLP, Inc., approximately 15% interest in RMLP, Inc. In the second quarter of 2003, Rancho Malibu amended its partnership agreement to include an unrelated third party investor as an additional partner. The purpose of the partnership is to complete the construction of forty-six residential homes. This partner contributed $2.0 million to the partnership and is the Development General Partner. In addition to the initial contribution, this partner, as the Development General Partner, will be responsible for the coordination and management of the construction activities. In accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51 ("SAB 51") to reflect the issuance of partnership interest to the additional partner, the Trust recorded a net increase in its investment in MILPI and an increase in participants capital of $1.2 million, the transaction is reflected as an equity transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Participants' Equity as "Increase in capital related to issuance of partnership interest in equity investment."
 
 In March 2002, the Trust and Trust C each own 50% of C & D IT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in which each Trust contributed $1.0 million. The Trusts interest in C & D IT LLC increased $0.2 million or 16% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The increase in the investment was attributable to $0.2 million increase in capital related to the issuance of partnership interest to an additional partner as mentioned above. C&D IT LLCs only asset consists of its interest in Rancho Malibu. Rancho Malibu is in the development stage. Cash distributions from this investments is not anticipated in the near future since Rancho Malibu is using its cash flow to complete development of the property.
 
 The Trust and Trust D own EFG/Kettle Development LLC which owns a 49.9% indirect ownership interest in a real estate development in Kelowna, British Columbia in Canada called Kettle Valley. The Trust does not anticipate any distributions from its investment in EFG/Kettle Development LLC in the near future.
 
 The Trust also has an ownership interest in EFG Kirkwood. EFG Kirkwood is a joint venture among the Trust, certain affiliated Trusts and Semele and is managed by AFG ASIT Corporation. EFG Kirkwood is a non-controlling member in two joint ventures, Mountain Resort and Mountain Springs.
 
 Mountain Resort, through four wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates the Kirkwood Mountain Resort, a ski resort located in northern California, a public utility that services the local community, and land that is held for residential and commercial development. Mountain Springs, through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns a controlling interest in the Purgatory Ski resort in Durango, Colorado.
 
 Ski resorts are subject to a number of risks, including weather-related risks. The ski resort business is seasonal in nature and insufficient snow during the winter season can adversely affect the profitability of a given resort. Many operators of ski resorts have greater resources and experience in the industry than the Trust, its affiliates and its joint venture partners.
 
 The Trust obtained financing in connection with certain equipment assets. The origination of such indebtedness and the subsequent repayments of principal are reported as components of financing activities. At June 30, 2003, the Trust had third party debt obligations outstanding totaling $16.9 million. These notes will be partially amortized by the remaining contracted lease payments. The Trust has balloon payment obligation of $16.1 million at the expiration of the lease term related to its interest in the Boeing 767-300ER in December 2003. Management believes however, the aircraft associated with the non-recourse debt, which expires in December 2003 would not be sold for an amount sufficient to cover the balloon payment or re-leased for an amount that would for the debt to be refinanced, it is therefore likely that the aircraft will be returned to the lender. As a result the Trust would not be required to make the balloon payment.
 
 No cash distributions have been declared since the special distribution since January 2000 . The Managing Trustee does not anticipate paying any distributions in 2003. In any given year, it is possible that Beneficiaries will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be available for distribution to the Beneficiaries adequate to cover any tax obligation.
 
 Cash distributions when paid to the Participants generally consist of both a return of and a return on 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 Trust and will be dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of renewal and/or re-lease rents, the residual value realized for each asset at its disposal date, and the performance of the Trusts non-equipment assets. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability of EFG to manage and remarket the equipment, and many other events and circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual yields and the collective performance of the Trusts equipment portfolio. The ability of the Managing Trustee and its affiliates to develop and profitably manage its non-equipment assets and the return from its interest MILPI will impact the Trusts overall performance.
 
 In the future, the nature of the Trusts operations and principal cash flows will continue to shift from rental receipts to equipment disposition proceeds and potential distributions from minority owned investments. As this occurs, the Trusts cash flows resulting from equipment investments may become more volatile in that certain of the Trusts equipment leases will be renewed and certain of its assets will be sold. In some cases, the Trust may be required to expend funds to refurbish or otherwise improve the equipment being remarketed in order to make it more desirable to a potential lessee or purchaser. The Trusts Advisor, EFG, and the Managing Trustee will attempt to monitor and manage these events in order to maximize the residual value of the Trusts equipment and will consider these factors, in addition to the collection of contractual rents, the retirement of scheduled indebtedness, and the Trusts future working capital and reinvestment requirements, in establishing the amount and timing of future cash distributions.
 
 In accordance with the Trust Agreement, upon the dissolution of the Trust, the Managing Trustee will be required to contribute to the Trust an amount equal to any negative balance, which may exist in the Managing Trustees tax capital account.
 
 Outlook for the Future
 
 Several other factors may affect the Trusts operating performance during the remainder of 2003 and beyond including:
 
 -changes in markets for the Trusts equipment;
 -changes in the regulatory environment in which the Trusts equipment operates; and
 -changes in the real estate markets in which the Trust has ownership interest.
 
 The future out look for the different operating segments of the Trust is as follows:
 
 Real Estate
 
 The Trust has a minority interest in two ski resorts, which are subject to the risks of the tourism industry. The economic downturn in the tourism industry following September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks had an adverse impact on the operating results of the resorts and the Trust. There can be no assurance that the travel and tourism industry will return to its pre-September 11 levels. The resorts have customers who both fly and drive to the resort locations. At this time, management does not believe the economic downturn in the travel industry will recover in the near future.
 
 In addition, the resorts are also subject to a number of other risks, including weather-related risks. The ski resort business is seasonal in nature and insufficient snow during the winter season can adversely affect the profitability of a given resort. Many operators of ski resorts have greater resources and experience in the industry than the Trust, its affiliates and its joint venture partners.
 
 The Trust also has a minority interest in several real estate development companies, some of which are located at the resorts. The risks generally associated with real estate include, without limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties, general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties, interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations, and other governmental rules.
 
 The Trusts investments in real estate development companies have experienced an increase in residential sales as a result of interest rates currently being at historical lows. There is a risk that residential sales could materially decline if interest rates increase.
 
 The Trust's involvement in real estate development also introduces financials risks, including the potential need to borrow funds to develop the real estate projects. While the Trust's management presently does not foresee any unusual risks in this regard, it is possible that factors beyond the control of the Trust, its affiliates and joint venture partners, such as a tightening credit environment, could limit or reduce its ability to secure adequate credit facilities at a time when they might be needed in the future. Alternatively, the Trust could establish joint ventures with other parties to share participation in its development projects.
 
 Because the investments in the ski resorts include real estate development companies, the risks and uncertainties associated with the tourism industry can adversely affect the value of the real estate development companies associated with these investments. Decrease in tourism, weather-related conditions or other risks discussed above can permanently decrease the value of the investment and future operations.
 
 The Trust does not anticipate receiving dividend distributions from the real estate investments in the near future due to the uncertainty of the current market conditions.
 
 Equipment Leasing
 
 The events of September 11, 2001 have also adversely affected market demand for both new and used commercial aircraft and weakened the financial position of several airline companies. In addition, during 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has led to a dramatic decline in passenger travel in Asia. While it currently is not possible for the Trust to determine the ultimate long-term economic consequences of theses events to the equipment leasing segment the resulting decline in air travel has suppressed market prices for used aircraft and inhibited the viability of some airlines. In the event of a lease default by an aircraft lessee, the Trust could experience material losses. At June 30, 2003, the Trust has collected substantially all rents owed from aircraft lessees. The Trust is monitoring developments in the airline industry and will continue to evaluate the potential implications to the Trusts financial position and future liquidity. Management does not anticipate significant improvements in the airline industry in the near future.
 
 At lease inception, the Trust equipment was leased by a number of credit worthy, investment-grade companies. To date, the Trust has not experienced any material collection problems and has not considered it necessary to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts. Notwithstanding a positive collection history, there is no assurance that all future contracted rents will be collected or that the credit quality of the Trusts leases will be maintained. The credit quality of an individual lease may deteriorate after the lease is entered into. Collection risk could increase in the future, particularly as the Trust remarkets its equipment and enters re-lease agreements with different lessees. The Managing Trustee will continue to evaluate and monitor the Trusts experience in collecting accounts receivable to determine whether a future allowance for doubtful accounts may become appropriate.
 
 The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is dependent upon many factors, including condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of sale. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances, and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at any given time. The Trust attempts to monitor these change in order to identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Trust and which will maximize total cash returns for each asset.
 
 In the future, the nature of the Trust's equipment leasing operations and principal cash flows will continue to shift from rental receipts and equipment disposition proceeds to distributions from equity investments. As this occurs, the Trust's cash flows resulting from equipment investments may become more volatile in that certain of the Trust's equipment leases will be renewed and certain of its assets will be sold. In some cases, the Trust may be required to expend funds to refurbish or otherwise improve the equipment being remarketed in order to make it more desirable to a potential lessee or purchaser. The Trust's Advisor, EFG, and the Managing Trustee will attempt to monitor and manage these events in order to maximize the residual value of the Trust's equipment and will consider these factors, in addition to the collection of contractual rents, the retirement of scheduled indebtedness, and the Trust's future working capital requirements, in establishing the amount and timing of future cash distributions. As a result, the Trust does not anticipate declaring any dividend distributions in the near future.
 
 In accordance with the Trust Agreement, upon the dissolution of the Trust, the Managing Trustee will be required to contribute to the Trust an amount equal to any negative balance, which may exist in the Managing Trustee's capital account.
 
 Equipment Management
 
 The ultimate realization of revenues for managed equipment is subject to economic risks related to many changing factors, including ability of the MILPIs equipment programs to realize acceptable lease rates on its equipment in the different equipment markets. Lease rates are contingent on many factors, such as specific market conditions and economic activity, technological obsolescence, and government or other regulations. The unpredictability of some of these factors, or of their occurrence, makes it difficult for the MILPI to clearly define trends or influences that may impact the performance of the equipment programs. MILPI continually monitors both the equipment markets and the performance of the equipment programs in these markets. MILPI may decide to reduce the equipment program's exposure to equipment markets in which it determines it cannot operate equipment to achieve acceptable rates of return. Alternatively, MILPI may make a determination to enter equipment markets in which it perceives opportunities to profit from supply/demand instabilities or other market imperfections
 
 MILPIs asset base consists of its interest in the management in several equipment programs with limited lives. If MILPI does not find new sources of capital and revenue, its source of revenues and asset base will decrease and eventually terminate as the equipment programs.
 
 
 Item 3. Controls and Procedures
 
 Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
 The Trustees management, including its President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), does not expect that our internal controls or disclosure control will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
 
 Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of control can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Fund have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
 Notwithstanding the forgoing limitations, we believe that our internal controls and disclosure control provide reasonable assurances that the objectives of our control system are met.
 
 Quarterly Evaluation of the Funds Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
 
 (1)  Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, the Trustee carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Trustees management, including its President and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Funds disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and CFO concluded that the Funds disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Funds required to be included in the Funds exchange act filings.
 
 (2)  There have been no significant changes in the Funds internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the Trustee carried out its evaluations.
