Fly Leasing Limited is a
Bermuda exempted company that was incorporated on May 3, 2007, under the provisions of Section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Although we were organized under the laws of Bermuda, we are a resident of Ireland for tax purposes and
are subject to Irish corporation tax on our income in the same way, and to the same extent, as if we were organized under the laws of Ireland. We are principally engaged in purchasing commercial aircraft which we lease under multi-year contracts to
a diverse group of airlines throughout the world. On October 2, 2007, we completed our initial public offering (IPO), with the issuance of 18,695,650 common shares and completed a private placement of 14,907,800 common shares,
each in the form of ADSs.

On October 14, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the GAAM portfolio of 49 aircraft and other assets valued
at approximately $1.4 billion. The purchase was funded with approximately $141.7 million of unrestricted cash and the assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of secured, non-recourse debt.

As of December 31, 2012, we owned 109 aircraft. We sold three aircraft in the first quarter of 2013 and now own 106 aircraft.

On April 29, 2010, the management team of BBAM LP, through Summit Aviation Partners LLC (Summit) purchased substantially all of the aviation assets of Babcock & Brown and its
affiliates, including Babcock & Browns ownership interests in our Manager and certain other companies that manage and service Fly and its aircraft portfolio. BBAM LP was a newly formed, privately-held aircraft leasing and management
business that provides management and administrative services to Fly, including servicing of its aircraft portfolio. In connection with Summits purchase of these assets, we purchased a 15% interest in BBAM LP for $8.75 million. Summit owned
the remaining 85% interest in BBAM LP.

On December 28, 2012, we sold our 15% interest in BBAM LP for $49.5 million to Onex Corporation
and its affiliate (collectively, Onex) and Summit sold 35% of its interest in BBAM LP to Onex. Concurrent with the transaction, Onex and Summit purchased 2,191,060 newly issued common shares of Fly for an aggregate of $25.0 million or
$11.41 per share.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated: (1) for 2012, 2011, and 2010 by dividing net income, less the dividend equivalent amounts paid, by the weighted average number of basic and
diluted shares outstanding for the year and (2) for 2009 and 2008, by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Prior to April 29, 2010, the Company did not have a share-based compensation
program.

Risk Factors

The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, the trading price of our shares and our ability to pay
dividends. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability
to pay dividends.

Risks Related to Our Relationship with BBAM LP

BBAM has conflicts of interest with us and their limited contractual or other duties will not restrict them from favoring their own business interests to our detriment.

Conflicts of interest will arise between us and BBAM LP with respect to our operations and business opportunities. BBAM LP acquires, manages and
remarkets aircraft for lease or sale for us and for other entities, including entities in which Summit and Onex may have an economic interest. We may compete directly with such other managed entities for investment opportunities. For example, BBAM
performs aircraft acquisition, disposition and management services pursuant to a joint marketing agreement with Nomura Babcock & Brown Co., Ltd, referred to as NBB. BBAM has arranged a significant number of aircraft acquisitions and
dispositions pursuant to the NBB arrangement. We expect that BBAM will continue to arrange acquisition and disposition opportunities with NBB and that we may compete with NBB for such opportunities. A conflict of interest will arise if BBAM
identifies an aircraft acquisition opportunity that would meet our investment objectives as well as those of NBB or any other entity managed by BBAM. BBAM and Onex also may participate in other ventures that acquire and lease commercial jet
aircraft. We do not have any exclusive right to participate in aircraft acquisition opportunities originated or identified by BBAM. Under our agreements with BBAM LP, our Manager has agreed to act in the best interests of our shareholders. However,
neither BBAM nor any other BBAM LP affiliate will be restricted from pursuing, or offering to a third party, including NBB, Onex or any other party managed by, or otherwise affiliated or associated with BBAM LP, any investment or disposal
opportunity or will be required to establish any investment protocol in relation to prioritization of any investment or disposal opportunity. We may purchase in the future aircraft from entities in which Summit or Onex has an ownership interest.
Although such purchases will require approval by our independent directors, the pricing and other terms of these transactions may be less advantageous to us than if they had been the result of transactions among unaffiliated third parties.

Under our servicing agreements with BBAM, if a conflict of interest arises as to our aircraft and other aircraft managed by BBAM, BBAM must
perform the services in good faith, and, to the extent that our aircraft or other aircraft managed by BBAM have substantially similar characteristics that are relevant for purposes of the particular services to be performed, BBAM has agreed not to
discriminate among our aircraft or between any of our aircraft and any other managed aircraft on an unreasonable basis. Nevertheless, despite these contractual undertakings, BBAM as Servicer may favor its own interests and the interests of other
managed entities over our interests. Conflicts may arise when our aircraft are leased to entities that also lease other aircraft managed by BBAM and decisions affecting some aircraft may have an adverse impact on others. For example, when a lessee
in financial distress seeks to return some of its aircraft, BBAM may be required to decide which aircraft to accept for return and may favor its or another managed entitys interest over ours. Conflicts also may arise, for example, when our
aircraft are being marketed for re-lease or sale at a time when other aircraft managed by BBAM are being similarly marketed.

Under the terms
of our servicing agreements, we are not entitled to be informed of all conflicts of interest involving BBAM and are limited in our right to replace BBAM because of conflicts of interest. Any replacement Servicer may not provide the same quality of

service or may not afford us terms as favorable as the terms currently offered by BBAM. If BBAM, as the servicer, makes a decision that is adverse to our interests, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could suffer. See Even if we were to become dissatisfied with BBAM LPs performance, there are only limited circumstances under which we are able to terminate our management and servicing
agreements and we may not terminate the servicing agreement for our Initial Portfolio without the prior written consent of the policy provider.

Even if we were to become dissatisfied with BBAM LPs performance, there are only limited circumstances under which we are able to terminate our management and servicing agreements and we may
not terminate the servicing agreement for our Initial Portfolio without the prior written consent of the policy provider.

We may
terminate the management agreement if:



| |  |  | at least 75% of our independent directors and holders of 75% or more of all of our outstanding common shares (measured by vote) determine by resolution
that there has been unsatisfactory performance by our Manager that is materially detrimental to us;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our Manager materially breaches the management agreement and fails to remedy such breach within 90 days of receiving written notice from us requiring
it to do so, or such breach results in liability to us and is attributable to our Managers gross negligence, fraud or dishonesty, or willful misconduct in respect of the obligation to apply the standard of care;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any license, permit or authorization held by the Manager which is necessary for it to perform the services and duties under the management agreement is
materially breached, suspended or revoked, or otherwise made subject to conditions which, in the reasonable opinion of our board of directors, would prevent the Manager from performing the services and the situation is not remedied within 90 days;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | BBAM Aviation Services Limited or one of its affiliates ceases to hold (directly or indirectly) more than 50% of the voting equity of, and economic
interest in, the Manager;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our Manager becomes subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings that are not discharged within 75 days, unless our Manager is withdrawn and
replaced within 90 days of the initiation of such bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with an affiliate or associate of BBAM that is able to make correctly the representations and warranties set out in the management agreement;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our Manager voluntarily commences any proceeding or files any petition seeking bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, or makes a general
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, unless our Manager is withdrawn and replaced within 15 days with an affiliate or associate of BBAM that is able to make correctly the representations and warranties set out in the management agreement;
and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an order is made for the winding up of our Manager, unless our Manager is withdrawn and replaced within 15 days with an affiliate or associate of BBAM
that is able to make correctly the representations and warranties set out in the management agreement.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In connection with
the sale of our 15% interest in BBAM, we have amended our management agreement (the Management Agreement) with Fly Leasing Management Co. Limited to extend the term of the Management Agreement to December 28, 2022, with an automatic
five year renewal period, unless we make a payment to the Manager equal to $8 million, subject to potential future adjustment.

We have the
right to terminate the servicing agreement for our Initial Portfolio (with the prior written consent of the financial guaranty provider for the Securitization, which we refer to as the policy provider) and the policy provider has the independent
right to terminate the agreement (without our consent) in the following limited circumstances:



| |  |  | Bankruptcy or insolvency of BBAM LP;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | BBAM LP ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the Servicer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Summit ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 33.33% of the partnership interests in BBAM LP; provided that a sale that results in such
ownership being at a level below 33.33% shall not constitute a servicer termination event if the sale is to a publicly listed entity or other person with a net worth of at least $100 million; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 50% or more of the Servicers key finance and legal team or technical and marketing team cease to be employed by BBAM LP and are not replaced with
employees with reasonably comparable experience within 90 days.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the servicing agreement for our Initial Portfolio is
terminated by us or the policy provider and another servicer is engaged to service our Initial Portfolio, we will no longer be entitled to a credit against fees due under the management agreement for servicing fees paid with respect to our Initial
Portfolio and our expenses would increase substantially. Although this will be a disincentive for us to terminate the servicing agreement for our Initial Portfolio, it is not likely to be a factor in a decision by the policy provider to exercise its
independent ability to terminate the agreement.

##### Table of Contents

Our management and servicing agreements limit our remedies against BBAM LP for unsatisfactory
performance and provide certain termination rights to the policy provider.

Under our management and servicing agreements with BBAM
LP, in many cases we may not have the right to recover damages from BBAM LP for unsatisfactory performance. Moreover, we have agreed to indemnify our Manager, BBAM LP and their affiliates for broad categories of losses arising out of the performance
of services, unless they are finally adjudicated to have been caused directly by our Managers or BBAM LPs gross negligence, fraud, deceit or willful misconduct in respect of its obligation to apply its standard of care or, in the case of
the servicing agreement for our Initial Portfolio, conflicts of interest standard in the performance of its services. In addition, because of our substantial dependence on BBAM LP, our board of directors may be reluctant to initiate litigation
against BBAM LP to enforce contractual rights under our management and servicing agreements.

Under certain circumstances the provider of the
financial guaranty insurance policy with respect to the Notes has the right to terminate BBAM as the servicer for our Initial Portfolio without our consent and may terminate the Servicer at a time which may be disadvantageous to us.

BBAM may resign as Servicer under our servicing agreements under certain circumstances, which would significantly impair our ability to re-lease or
sell aircraft and service our leases.

BBAM may resign under one or more of our servicing agreements under certain circumstances if it
reasonably determines that directions given, or services required, would, if carried out, be unlawful under applicable law, be likely to lead to an investigation by any governmental authority of BBAM or its affiliates, expose BBAM to liabilities for
which, in BBAMs good faith opinion, adequate bond or indemnity has not been provided or place BBAM in a conflict of interest with respect to which, in BBAMs good faith opinion, BBAM could not continue to perform its obligations under the
servicing agreement with respect to all serviced aircraft or any affected aircraft, as the case may be (but with respect to the foregoing circumstance, BBAM may resign only with respect to the affected aircraft). Whether or not it resigns, BBAM is
not required to take any action of the foregoing kind. BBAM may also resign if it becomes subject to taxes for which we do not indemnify it. BBAMs decision to resign would significantly impair our ability to re-lease or sell aircraft and
service our leases.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business is affected by general economic and financial conditions which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business and results of operations are significantly affected by general business, financial market and economic conditions. The worsening of economic conditions, particularly if combined with high
fuel prices, may have a material adverse effect on our lessees ability to meet their financial and other obligations under our operating leases, which, if our lessees default on their obligations to us, could have a material adverse effect on
our cash flow and results of operations. General business and economic conditions that could affect us include interest rate fluctuations, inflation, unemployment levels, bankruptcies, demand for passenger and cargo air travel, volatility in both
debt and equity capital markets, liquidity of the global financial markets, the availability and cost of credit, investor and consumer confidence, global economic growth and the strength of local economies in which we operate.

The variability of supply and demand for aircraft and other aviation assets could depress lease rates and the value of our leased assets, which
would have an adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects and on our ability to meet our debt obligations and pay dividends.

The aviation leasing and sales industry has experienced periods of aircraft oversupply and undersupply. The economic downturn and the slowdown in air travel between 2008 and early 2010 contributed to a
decrease in the demand for aircraft and resulted in capacity cuts by airlines. In addition, manufacturers are increasing production rates of some aircraft types, which may result in an increase in the supply of aircraft. The oversupply of a specific
type of aircraft or other aviation asset in the market is likely to depress lease rates for, and the value of, that type of asset. The supply and demand for aircraft is affected by various cyclical and non-cyclical factors that are not under our
control, including:



| |  |  | passenger air travel and air cargo demand;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased supply due to the sale of aircraft portfolios;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | geopolitical and other events, including war, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, outbreaks of epidemic diseases and natural disasters;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | operating costs, availability of jet fuel and general economic conditions affecting our lessees operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | governmental regulation, which includes new airworthiness directives, statutory limits on age of aircraft and restrictions in certain jurisdictions on
the age of aircraft for import and other factors leading to obsolescence of aircraft models;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interest rates;
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | airline restructurings and bankruptcies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | cancellations of orders for aircraft;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in delivery by manufacturers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | availability and cost of credit;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | manufacturer production levels and technological innovation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | retirement and obsolescence of aircraft models;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | manufacturers merging or exiting the industry or ceasing to produce aircraft or engine types;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | accuracy of estimates relating to future supply and demand made by manufacturers and lessees;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reintroduction into service of aircraft or engines previously in storage; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | airport and air traffic control infrastructure constraints.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

These factors may produce sharp and prolonged decreases in asset values and achievable lease rates, which would have an impact on the value of our fleet and our cost of acquiring aircraft or other
aviation assets, may result in lease defaults and could delay or prevent the aircraft or other aviation assets from being leased or re-leased on favorable terms, or, if desired, sold on favorable terms.

We will need additional capital to finance our growth, and we may not be able to obtain it on acceptable terms, or at all, which may limit our
ability to grow and compete in the aviation market.

Our ability to acquire additional assets depends to a significant degree on our
ability to access debt and equity capital markets. Our access to capital markets will depend on a number of factors including our historical and expected performance, compliance with the terms of our debt agreements, general market conditions,
interest rate fluctuations and the relative attractiveness of alternative investments. In addition, volatility or disruption in the capital markets could adversely affect banks and financial institutions causing lenders to be reluctant or unable to
provide us with financing on terms acceptable to us or to increase the costs of such financing. We compete with other lessors and airlines when acquiring aircraft and our ability to grow our portfolio is dependent on our ability to access attractive
financing. The terms of our debt facilities restrict our ability to incur additional debt secured by the aircraft in each of those facilities. If we are unable to raise additional funds or obtain capital on acceptable terms, our growth opportunities
are limited.

Our future growth and profitability will depend on our ability to acquire aircraft and other aviation assets.

Growth through future acquisitions of additional commercial aircraft and other aviation assets requires the availability of capital.
Even if capital were available, the market for commercial aircraft is cyclical, sensitive to economic instability and extremely competitive, and we may encounter difficulties in acquiring aircraft on favorable terms or at all which could reduce our
acquisition opportunities or cause us to pay higher prices. A significant increase in market interest rates would make it more difficult for us to make accretive acquisitions that would increase our distributable cash flows. Any acquisition of
aircraft or other aviation assets may not be profitable to us after the acquisition of such asset and may not generate sufficient cash flow to justify our investment. In addition, acquisition of additional aircraft, other aviation assets and other
investments that we may make expose us to risks that may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including risks that we may:



| |  |  | impair our liquidity by using a significant portion of our available cash or borrowing capacity to finance acquisitions and investments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage to the extent we incur additional debt to finance acquisitions and investments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur or assume unanticipated liabilities, losses or costs associated with the aircraft or other aviation assets that we acquire or investments we may
make;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur other significant charges, including asset impairment or restructuring charges; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | be unable to maintain our ability to pay regular dividends to our shareholders.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we experience abnormally high maintenance or obsolescence issues with any aircraft or aviation assets that we acquire, our financial results and
growth could be materially and adversely affected.

Unlike new aircraft, used aircraft typically do not carry warranties as to their
condition. As a result, we may not be able to claim any warranty related expenses on used aircraft. Although we may inspect an existing aircraft and its documented maintenance, usage, lease

##### Table of Contents

and other records prior to acquisition, we may not discover all defects during an inspection. Repairs and maintenance costs for existing aircraft are difficult to predict and generally increase
as aircraft age and can be adversely affected by prior use. These costs could decrease our cash flow and reduce our liquidity and our ability to pay regular dividends to our shareholders.

In addition, aircraft are long-lived assets, requiring long lead times to develop and manufacture, with particular types and models becoming obsolete and less in demand over time when newer, more advanced
aircraft are manufactured. By acquiring existing aircraft, we have greater exposure to more rapid obsolescence of our fleet, particularly if there are unanticipated events shortening the life cycle of such aircraft, such as government regulation or
changes in our airline customers preferences. This may result in a shorter life cycle for our fleet and, accordingly, declining lease rates, impairment charges, increased depreciation expense or losses related to aircraft asset value
guarantees, if we were to provide such guarantees.

Further, variable expenses like fuel, crew size or aging aircraft corrosion control or
modification programs and related airworthiness directives could make the operation of older aircraft more costly to our lessees and may result in increased lessee defaults. We may also incur some of these increased maintenance expenses and
regulatory costs upon acquisition or re-leasing of our aircraft. Any of these expenses or costs will have a negative impact on our financial results.

We may enter into strategic ventures which pose risks including a lack of complete control over the enterprise, and our financial results and growth prospects may be adversely affected if we
encounter disputes, deadlocks or other conflicts of interest with our strategic partners.

We may occasionally enter into strategic
ventures or investments with third parties. For example, we had a 15% investment in BBAM LP and still have a 57% investment in an entity which currently owns four Boeing 767-300 aircraft. We may have limited management rights in these strategic
ventures and may not control decisions regarding the remarketing or sale of aircraft assets owned by these strategic ventures. In addition, if we are unable to resolve a dispute with a strategic partner that retains material managerial veto rights,
we might reach an impasse that could require us to liquidate our investment at a time and in a manner that could result in our losing some or all of our original investment in the venture, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results
and growth prospects. These strategic ventures and investments are also new forms of investments for us and may subject us to new and unforeseen risks, including adverse tax consequences and additional reporting and compliance requirements.

We may not be able to pay or maintain dividends on our shares.

Although we have paid a dividend each quarter since our IPO, there are a number of factors that could affect our ability to pay future dividends including, but not limited to, the following:



| |  |  | lack of availability of cash to pay dividends due to changes in our operating cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, working capital requirements
and other cash needs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictions imposed by our financing arrangements and any indebtedness incurred in the future to refinance our existing debt or to expand our aircraft

The recent debt crisis in Europe and downgrade of the U.S. governments sovereign credit rating
by Standard & Poors Ratings Services could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The recent crisis
in Europe has created uncertainty with respect to the ability of certain European Union (EU) countries to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations. The continued uncertainty over the outcome of the EU governments
financial support programs and the possibility that other EU member states may experience similar financial troubles have created substantial volatility and adversely impacted financial markets. Several European banks which have been active in
financing aircraft have announced their intention to scale back their aircraft related lending activities, and this may impact our ability to source debt financing for our aircraft. In addition, in early August 2011, many of the nationally
recognized credit rating agencies either downgraded the U.S. long term debt rating or provided a negative rating outlook. Risks related to the recent debt crisis in Europe and downgrade of the U.S. governments sovereign credit rating have had,
and are likely to continue to have, a negative impact on global economic activity and the financial markets. As these conditions persist, the ability of our lessees to meet their financial and other obligations under our operating leases could be
adversely affected, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our
Indebtedness

We have substantial indebtedness that imposes constraints on our operations and could adversely affect our ability to
pay dividends on our common shares.

The terms of our debt facilities subject us to certain risks and operational restrictions,
including:



| |  |  | all the aircraft and related leases in our portfolio secure debt obligations, the terms of which restrict our ability to sell aircraft and require us
to use proceeds from sales of aircraft, in part, to repay outstanding debt;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we are required to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments, thereby reducing the amount of our cash
flow available to pay dividends, fund working capital, make capital expenditures and satisfy other needs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictions on our subsidiaries ability to distribute excess cash flow to us under certain circumstances;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lessee, geographical and other concentration requirements limit our flexibility in leasing our aircraft;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requirements to obtain the consent of third parties including lenders, the financial guaranty policy provider for the Securitization, whom we refer to
as the policy provider, and rating agency confirmations for certain actions; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictions on our subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, create liens on assets, sell assets, make freighter conversions and make
certain investments or capital expenditures.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, commencing August 2012, B&B Air Funding was required to apply
all of its available cash flow, after payment of certain expenses (including interest), to repay the principal on the Notes. The cash flow from the aircraft in the B&B Air Funding portfolio is not available to us. Although we are not required to
refinance the Notes, we may seek to do so prior to their maturity. Depending on market conditions, however, it may not be possible to refinance the Notes on terms we find acceptable or more advantageous than the current terms of the Notes.

In connection with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, we assumed a debt facility provided by Norddeutsche Landesbank Gironzentrale
(Nord LB Facility). Beginning in November 2012, substantially all cash flow associated with these aircraft, after payment of certain expenses, have been applied to payment of interest and principal and thus are not available for
distribution to us.

We have additional indebtedness associated with other aircraft in our portfolio. Certain of these loans match the
scheduled lease expiration dates. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness and are required to apply all available cash flow from our portfolio to repay principal thereon or to make balloon payments at loan maturity, then our ability to
continue paying dividends to our shareholders will be adversely affected.

In 2012, our subsidiaries entered into a $395.0 million Term Loan.
Although the Term Loan is secured by the aircraft financed thereby, we have fully guaranteed the obligations under the Term Loan, and the Term Loan is fully recourse to us. If cash flows from the aircraft secured by the Term Loan are insufficient to
fund debt service, we will be required to pay all amounts due thereunder. The restrictions described above may impair our ability to operate and to compete effectively with our competitors. Similar restrictions may be contained in the terms of
future financings that we may enter into to finance our growth.

##### Table of Contents

We are a holding company and currently rely on our subsidiaries to provide us with funds necessary to
meet our financial obligations and pay dividends.

We are a holding company and our principal assets are the equity interests we hold
in our subsidiaries, which own either directly or indirectly through their subsidiaries, the aircraft in our portfolio. As a result, we depend on dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet our
financial obligations and to pay dividends on our shares. Our existing subsidiaries are legally distinct from us and may be significantly restricted from paying dividends or otherwise making funds available to us pursuant to the agreements governing
their financing arrangements. If we are unable to comply with the financial and other covenants contained in these agreements, then the amounts outstanding under these debt facilities may become immediately due and payable, cash generated by
aircraft financed through these facilities may be unavailable to us and/or we may be unable to draw additional amounts under these facilities. The events that could cause some of our subsidiaries to be noncompliant under their loan agreements, such
as a lessee default, may be beyond our control, but they nevertheless could have a substantial adverse impact on the amount of our cash flow available to fund working capital, make capital expenditures and satisfy other cash needs. For a description
of the operating and financial restrictions in our debt facilities, see the section titled Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsFinancing.

Our subsidiaries are subject to interest rate risk, which could impair their ability to make distributions to us.

Our debt facilities have floating interest rates, creating the risk of an increase in interest rates and the risk that cash flow may be insufficient to make scheduled interest payments if interest rates
were to increase. To limit this risk, our subsidiaries have entered into interest rate swaps with one or more counterparties. If any counterparty were to default on its obligations, then a mismatch in the floating rate interest obligations and fixed
rate lease payments may arise, which could impair our subsidiaries ability to make distributions to us, which would, in turn, adversely affect our ability to meet our financial obligations and pay dividends to our shareholders. If any of our
interest rate swap arrangements were terminated early, we could be obligated to make a material payment to our counterparty.

Risks
Relating to Our Aircraft Portfolio

Factors that increase the risk of decline in aircraft value and achievable lease rates could have
an adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects and on our ability to meet our debt obligations and to pay dividends.

In addition to factors linked to the aviation industry generally, other factors that may affect the value and achievable lease rates of our aircraft and
other aviation assets include:



| |  |  | the particular maintenance, damage and operating history of the airframes and engines;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the number of operators using that type of aircraft or engine;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether an aircraft or other aviation asset is subject to a lease and, if so, whether the lease terms are favorable to the lessor;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the age of our aircraft and other aviation assets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | airworthiness directives and service bulletins;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | aircraft noise and emission standards;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | any tax, customs, regulatory and other legal requirements that must be satisfied when an aircraft is purchased, sold or re-leased;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compatibility of our aircraft configurations or specifications with other aircraft owned by operators of that type; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | decreases in the creditworthiness of our lessees.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

Any decrease in the values of and achievable lease rates for commercial aircraft or other aviation assets that may result from the above factors or other unanticipated factors may have a material adverse
effect on our financial results and growth prospects and our ability to meet our debt obligations and to pay dividends.

Airbus and
Boeing have announced new engine variants for their narrowbody aircraft, which could decrease the value and lease rates of aircraft in our portfolio.

On December 1, 2010, Airbus announced the launch of the New Engine Option (NEO) program, which involves the offering of two new engine typesone from Pratt & Whitney, a
division of United Technologies Corporation, and the other from CFM International, Inc.on certain Airbus A319/A320/A321 aircraft delivering in 2016 and thereafter. Airbus proposes to charge a price premium for A319/A320/A321 aircraft equipped
with these new engines. Boeing announced its re-engined aircraft on August 30, 2011. The new 737 family of aircraft will be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines optimized for this aircraft. The first deliveries are expected in 2017. The
development of these new engine options could decrease the desirability of the current aircraft models that are not equipped with these new engines and thereby increase the supply of these types of aircraft. This increase in supply could, in turn,
reduce both lease rates and future residual values for aircraft that are not equipped with the new engines.

The advent of superior aircraft technology or the introduction of a new line of aircraft could cause
our existing aircraft portfolio to become outdated and therefore less desirable, which could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects and our ability to compete in the marketplace.

As manufacturers introduce technological innovations and new types of aircraft, including the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350, certain aircraft in our
existing portfolio may become less desirable to potential lessees or purchasers. Such technological innovations may increase the rate of obsolescence of existing aircraft faster than currently anticipated by our management or accounted for in our
accounting policy. In addition to new aircraft from Bombardier and Embraer, and new aircraft manufacturers, such as Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation in Japan, Sukhoi Company (JSC) in Russia and the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China will
compete with existing Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Its uncertain how these offerings in the future could adversely impact the demand and liquidity of existing equipment. In addition, the imposition of more stringent noise or emissions standards
may make certain of our aircraft less desirable and less valuable in the marketplace. Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to lease or sell our aircraft on favorable terms or at all or our ability to charge rental amounts that we
would otherwise seek to charge. The advent of new technologies or the introduction of new types of aircraft could materially adversely affect the value of the aircraft in our portfolio. In addition, our Manager and Servicer has limited experience
with acquiring, leasing or selling these new aircraft types, and making investments in these new aircraft types may subject us to new and unforeseen risks, including increased difficulty in leasing or disposing of these aircraft.

Our operational costs will increase as our aircraft age, which may adversely affect the amounts available to pay dividends.

As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average age of the aircraft in our portfolio was 9.4 years. In general, the cost of re-leasing an aircraft,
including maintenance and modification expenditures, increases with the age of the aircraft. The costs of converting an aging passenger aircraft to a cargo aircraft are also substantial. The incurrence of these greater expenditures as our fleet ages
could adversely affect our financial results and our ability to pay dividends.

The concentration of aircraft types in our portfolio
could harm our business and financial results should any difficulties specific to these particular types of aircraft occur.

As of
December 31, 2012, our portfolio contains a mix of aircraft types including Airbus A319 aircraft, A320 aircraft, A330 aircraft, A340 aircraft, Boeing 717 aircraft, Boeing 737 aircraft, Boeing 747 aircraft, Boeing 757 aircraft and Boeing 767
aircraft. 89% of our aircraft are single-aisle, narrow-body aircraft, as measured by net book value. The Boeing 717 and Boeing 757 are no longer in production and Airbus has recently announced that it will cease production of the A340. Out of
production aircraft may have a shorter useful life or lower residual values due to obsolescence. In addition, if any of these aircraft types (or other types that we acquire in the future) should encounter technical or other difficulties, such
affected aircraft types may be subject to grounding or diminution in value and we may be unable to lease such affected aircraft types on favorable terms or at all. The inability to lease the affected aircraft types may reduce our revenues and net
income to the extent the affected aircraft types comprise a significant percentage of our aircraft portfolio.

We operate in a highly
competitive market for investment opportunities in aircraft and other aviation assets.

The leasing and remarketing of commercial jet
aircraft is highly competitive. We compete with other aircraft leasing companies, including GE Commercial Aviation Services Limited (GECAS), ILFC, AerCap B.V., Aircastle Advisor LLC, Air Lease Corp., Aviation Capital Group, Avolon, AWAS, Boeing
Capital Corporation, CIT Aerospace, Macquarie Bank Limited, SMBC Aviation Capital, Bank of China Aviation and Jackson Square Aviation among others. We also may encounter competition from other entities that selectively compete with us, including:



| |  |  | airlines;
| | - |  | ---------



| |  |  | aircraft manufacturers;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | financial institutions (including those seeking to dispose of repossessed aircraft at distressed prices);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | aircraft brokers;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | special purpose vehicles formed for the purpose of acquiring, leasing and selling aircraft; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | public and private partnerships, investors and funds, including private equity and hedge funds.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competition for a leasing transaction is based principally upon lease rates, delivery dates, lease terms, reputation, management expertise, aircraft
condition, specifications and configuration and the availability of the types of aircraft necessary to meet the needs of the customer. Some of our competitors have significantly greater operating and financial resources than we have. In addition,
some competing aircraft lessors have a lower overall cost of capital and may provide financial services, maintenance services or other inducements to potential lessees that we cannot provide. Given the financial condition of the airline industry,
many airlines have reduced their capacity by eliminating select types of aircraft from their fleets. This has resulted in an increase in available aircraft of these types, a decrease in rental rates for these aircraft and a decrease in market values
of these aircraft.

##### Table of Contents

Competition in the purchase and sale of used aircraft is based principally on the availability of used
aircraft, price, the terms of the lease to which an aircraft is subject and the creditworthiness of the lessee. When we decide to dispose of an aircraft, BBAM, as our servicer, will arrange the disposition pursuant to the terms of the servicing
agreement for that aircraft. In doing so, BBAM will compete with the aircraft leasing companies listed above, as well as with the other types of entities described above and other investors.

Many of our competitors also have order positions with Boeing and Airbus that guarantee them the delivery of new, highly desirable aircraft in the future. We do not currently have any order positions with
the aircraft manufacturers.

Depreciation expenses and impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Our aircraft have finite economic lives, their values depreciate in the ordinary course over
time and their ability to generate earnings and cash flow for our business declines over time. If depreciated aircraft are not replaced with newer aircraft, our ability to generate earnings and cash to pay dividends will be reduced. In addition, we
depreciate our aircraft for accounting purposes on a straight-line basis to the aircrafts estimated residual value over its estimated useful life. If we dispose of an aircraft for a price that is less than its depreciated value, then we would
be required to recognize a loss that would reduce our net income during the period of the disposition and reduce our total assets and shareholders equity.

In addition, aircraft in our portfolio and any other aircraft and other aviation assets that we acquire in the future are subject to periodic review for impairment for accounting purposes. We recognized
an impairment charge of $11.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 on two Boeing 737-500 aircraft manufactured in 1992 and an Airbus A320-200 aircraft manufactured in 2002. In the future, if expected cash flows related to any of our
aircraft are adversely affected by factors including credit deterioration of a lessee, declines in rental rates, shortened economic life, residual value risk and other market conditions, then we may be required to recognize additional depreciation
or material impairment charges that would reduce our net earnings or increase our net losses. Under U.S. GAAP, once an impairment results in a reduction to the carrying value of an asset, the carrying value of such asset cannot thereafter be
increased.

Aircraft liens could impair our ability to repossess, re-lease or resell the aircraft.

In the normal course of business, liens that secure the payment of airport fees and taxes, custom duties, air navigation charges, landing charges, crew
wages, maintenance charges, salvage or other obligations are likely, depending on the laws of the jurisdictions where aircraft operate, to attach to the aircraft (or, if applicable, to the engines separately). The liens may secure substantial sums
that may, in certain jurisdictions or for limited types of liens (particularly fleet liens), exceed the value of any particular aircraft to which the liens have attached. Until they are discharged, the liens described above could impair our ability
to repossess, re-lease or resell our aircraft.

If our lessees fail to fulfill their financial obligations, liens may attach to our aircraft.
In some jurisdictions, aircraft liens or separate engine liens may give the holder thereof the right to detain or, in limited cases, sell or cause the forfeiture of the aircraft (or, if applicable, the engines separately). We cannot assure you that
the lessees will comply with their obligations under the leases to discharge liens arising during the terms of the leases. We may, in some cases, find it necessary to pay the claims secured by such liens in order to repossess the aircraft or obtain
the aircraft or engines from a creditor thereof. These payments would be a required expense for us and would reduce our net income and our cash flows.

We cannot assure you that all lessees will comply with the registration requirements in the jurisdiction where they operate.

All of our aircraft are required to be registered at all times with appropriate governmental authorities. Generally, in jurisdictions outside the United States, failure by a lessee to maintain the
registration of a leased aircraft would be a default under the applicable lease, entitling us to exercise our rights and remedies thereunder. If an aircraft were to be operated without a valid registration, the lessee operator or, in some cases, the
owner or lessor might be subject to penalties, which could constitute or result in a lien being placed on such aircraft. Failure to comply with registration requirements also could have other adverse effects, including inability to operate the
aircraft and loss of insurance. We cannot assure you that all lessees will comply with these requirements.

Risks Relating to Our Leases

We will need to re-lease or sell aircraft as leases expire to continue to generate sufficient funds to meet our debt obligations,
finance our growth and operations and pay dividends. We may not be able to re-lease or sell aircraft on favorable terms, or at all.

Our business strategy entails the need to re-lease aircraft as our current leases expire to generate sufficient revenues to meet our debt obligations,
finance our growth and operations and pay dividends to our shareholders. The ability to re-lease aircraft depends on general market and competitive conditions. Some of our competitors may have greater access to financial resources and, as a result
of



12

##### Table of Contents

restrictions on us contained in the terms of our indebtedness, may have greater operational flexibility. If we are not able to re-lease an aircraft or to do so on favorable terms, we may be
required to attempt to sell the aircraft to provide funds for our debt service obligations or to otherwise finance our operations. Our ability to re-lease or sell aircraft on favorable terms or without significant off-lease time and transition costs
could be adversely affected by depressed conditions in the airline and aircraft industries, airline bankruptcies, the effects of terrorism and war, the sale of other aircraft by financial institutions or other factors.

We rely on our lessees continuing performance of their lease obligations.

We operate as a supplier to airlines and are indirectly impacted by the risks facing airlines today. Our success depends upon the financial strength of our lessees, our ability to assess the credit risk
of our lessees and the ability of lessees to perform their contractual obligations to us. The ability of each lessee to perform its obligations under its lease will depend primarily on the lessees financial condition and cash flow, which may
be affected by factors beyond our control, including:



| |  |  | competition;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | fare levels;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | air cargo rates;
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | passenger air travel and air cargo demand;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | geopolitical and other events, including war, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, outbreaks of epidemic diseases and natural disasters;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in operating costs, including the availability and cost of jet fuel and labor costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | labor difficulties;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | economic and financial conditions and currency fluctuations in the countries and regions in which the lessee operates; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | governmental regulation of, or affecting, the air transportation business, including noise and emissions regulations, climate change initiatives and
age limitations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the size of our portfolio, we expect that some lessees may encounter financial difficulties or
suffer liquidity problems and, as a result, will struggle to make lease payments under our operating leases. We further expect that lessees experiencing financial difficulties may seek a reduction in their lease rates or other concessions in lease
terms. We could experience increased delinquencies, particularly in any future downturns in the airline industry, which could worsen the financial condition and liquidity problems of these lessees. In addition, many airlines are exposed to currency
risk due to the fact that they earn revenues in their local currencies and certain of their liabilities and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, including lease payments to us. A delayed, missed or reduced rental payment from a lessee decreases
our revenues and cash flow and may adversely affect our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and pay dividends to shareholders.

We
are typically not in possession of any aircraft while the aircraft are on lease to the lessees. Consequently, our ability to determine the condition of the aircraft or whether the lessees are properly maintaining the aircraft is limited to periodic
inspections that we perform or that are performed on our behalf by third-party service providers or aircraft inspectors. A lessees failure to meet its maintenance obligations under a lease could:



| |  |  | result in a grounding of the aircraft;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | cause us to incur costs in restoring the aircraft to an acceptable maintenance condition to re-lease the aircraft;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adversely affect lease terms in the re-lease of the aircraft; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adversely affect the value of the aircraft.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

We cannot assure you that, in the event that a lessee defaults under a lease, any security deposit paid or letter of credit provided by the lessee will be sufficient to cover the lessees outstanding
or unpaid lease obligations and required maintenance expenses or be sufficient to discharge liens that may have attached to our aircraft.

If our lessees encounter financial difficulties and we decide to restructure our leases with those lessees, this could result in less favorable
leases, significant reductions in our cash flows and adversely affect our ability to meet our debt obligations and pay dividends on our shares.

We have restructured leases when lessees are late in making payments, fail to make required payments or have otherwise advised us that they expect to default in making required payments. A lease
restructuring can involve a rescheduling of payments or even termination of a lease without receiving all or any of the past-due or deferred amounts. The terms and conditions of possible lease restructurings could result in a significant reduction
of lease revenue which would have an adverse impact on our cash flow available for distribution and to pay dividends to shareholders. We may receive more requests for lease restructurings if any of our lessees should experience financial
difficulties in the future.

##### Table of Contents

Lease defaults could result in significant expenses and loss of revenues.

In 2012, we repossessed seven of our aircraft following lessee defaults. We repossessed four additional aircraft in the first quarter of 2013 and may
repossess additional aircraft in the future. Repossession, re-registration and flight and export permissions after a lessee default typically result in greater costs than those incurred when an aircraft is redelivered at the end of a lease. These
costs include legal and other expenses of court or other governmental proceedings, including the cost of posting surety bonds or letters of credit necessary to effect repossession of an aircraft which could be significant, particularly if the lessee
is contesting the proceedings or is in bankruptcy. Delays resulting from repossession proceedings also would increase the period of time during which an aircraft or other aviation asset does not generate lease revenue. In addition, we may incur
substantial maintenance, refurbishment or repair costs that a defaulting lessee has failed to pay and that are necessary to put the aircraft in a condition suitable for re-lease or sale. We may also incur storage costs associated with any aircraft
that we repossess and are unable to immediately place with another lessee. It may also be necessary to pay off liens, taxes and governmental charges on the aircraft to obtain clear possession and to remarket the asset effectively, including liens
that a defaulting lessee may have incurred in connection with the operation of its other aircraft.

We may also suffer other adverse
consequences as a result of a lessee default and the related termination of the lease and the repossession of the related aircraft. It is likely that our rights upon a lessee default will vary significantly depending upon the jurisdiction of
operation and the applicable law, including the need to obtain a court order for repossession of the aircraft and/or consents for deregistration or re-export of the aircraft. We anticipate that when a defaulting lessee is in bankruptcy, protective
administration, insolvency or similar proceedings, additional limitations may apply. Certain jurisdictions give rights to the trustee in bankruptcy or a similar officer to assume or reject the lease or to assign it to a third party, or entitle the
lessee or another third party to retain possession of the aircraft without paying lease rentals or performing all or some of the obligations under the relevant lease. In addition, certain of our lessees are owned in whole, or in part, by
government-related entities, which could make it difficult to repossess our aircraft in that lessees domicile. Accordingly, we may be delayed in, or prevented from, enforcing certain of our rights under a lease and in re-leasing the affected
aircraft.

If we repossess an aircraft or other aviation asset, we will not necessarily be able to export or deregister and profitably
redeploy the asset. For instance, where a lessee or other operator flies only domestic routes in the jurisdiction in which an aircraft is registered, repossession may be more difficult, especially if the jurisdiction permits the lessee or the other
operator to resist deregistration. Significant costs may also be incurred in retrieving or recreating aircraft records required for registration of the aircraft and obtaining a certificate of airworthiness for the aircraft or engine. If we incur
significant costs in repossessing our aircraft or are unable to gain possession of our aircraft as a result of lessee defaults, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Our lessees failure to comply with their maintenance obligations on our aircraft could significantly harm our financial condition, results of
operations and ability to pay dividends.

The standards of maintenance observed by our lessees and the condition of aircraft at the
time of sale or lease may affect the market values and rental rates of our aircraft. Under each of our leases, the lessee is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft and complying with all governmental requirements applicable to the lessee
and to the aircraft, including operational, maintenance, government agency oversight, registration requirements and airworthiness directives. A lessees failure to perform required maintenance during the term of a lease could result in a
diminution in the value of an aircraft, an inability to re-lease the aircraft at favorable rates or at all, or a potential grounding of the aircraft.

Failures by a lessee to maintain an aircraft would also likely require us to incur maintenance and modification costs upon the termination of the applicable lease, which could be substantial, to restore
the aircraft to an acceptable condition prior to re-leasing or sale. Even if we are entitled to receive maintenance payments, these payments may not cover the entire cost of actual maintenance required. Any failure to maintain our aircraft may
materially adversely affect our financial results, asset values and growth prospects.

Failure to pay certain potential additional
operating costs could result in the grounding of our aircraft and prevent the re-lease, sale or other use of our aircraft, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As in the case of maintenance costs, we may incur other operational costs upon a lessee default or where the terms of the lease require us to pay a
portion of those costs. Such costs, which can be substantial, include:



| |  |  | the costs of casualty, liability, war and political risk insurance and the liability costs or losses when insurance coverage has not been or cannot be
obtained as required or is insufficient in amount or scope;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | the costs of licensing, exporting or importing an aircraft, costs of storing and operating an aircraft, airport taxes, customs duties, air navigation
charges, landing fees and similar governmental or quasi-governmental impositions; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | penalties and costs associated with the failure of lessees to keep the aircraft registered under all appropriate local requirements or obtain required
governmental licenses, consents and approvals.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The failure to pay some of these costs can result in liens on the aircraft
or a loss of insurance. Any of these events could result in the grounding of the aircraft and prevent the re-lease, sale or other use of the aircraft until such default is cured.

Our lessees may have inadequate insurance coverage or fail to fulfill their respective indemnity obligations, which could result in us not being covered for claims asserted against us and may
negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we do not expect to control the operation of
our leased aircraft, our ownership of the aircraft could give rise, in some jurisdictions, to strict liability for losses resulting from their operation. Our lessees are required to indemnify us for, and insure against, liabilities arising out of
the use and operation of the aircraft, including third-party claims for death or injury to persons and damage to property for which we may be deemed liable. Lessees are also required to maintain public liability, property damage and hull all risks
and hull war risks insurance on the aircraft at agreed upon levels. However, they are not generally required to maintain political risk insurance. There may be circumstances under which it would be desirable for us to maintain top-up
and/or political risk coverage at our expense, which would add to our operating expenses.

Following the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, aviation insurers significantly reduced the amount of insurance coverage available to airlines for liability to persons other than employees or passengers for claims resulting from acts of terrorism, war or similar events.
At the same time, they significantly increased the premiums for such third-party war risk and terrorism liability insurance and coverage in general. As a result, the amount of such third-party war risk and terrorism liability insurance that is
available at any time may be below the amount required under the initial leases and required by the market in general.

We cannot assure you
that the insurance maintained by our lessees will be sufficient to cover all types of claims that may be asserted against us. Any inadequate insurance coverage or default by lessees in fulfilling their indemnification or insurance obligations, as
well as the lack of available insurance, could reduce the proceeds upon an event of loss and could subject us to uninsured liabilities, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to obtain certain required licenses, consents and approvals could negatively affect our ability to re-lease or sell aircraft, which would
negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Aircraft leases often require specific licenses,
consents or approvals. These include consents from governmental or regulatory authorities for certain payments under the leases and for the import, re-export or deregistration of the aircraft. Subsequent changes in applicable law or administrative
practice may increase or otherwise modify these requirements. In addition, a governmental consent, once given, might be withdrawn. Furthermore, consents needed in connection with future re-leasing or sale of an aircraft may not be forthcoming. Any
of these events could adversely affect our ability to re-lease or sell aircraft, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some of our leases provide the lessees with early termination options.

As of
December 31, 2012, six of our leases provide the lessees with early termination options. We also could enter into leases in the future that provide lessees with early termination options. If any lease is terminated early at a time when we could
not re-lease the aircraft at rates at least as favorable to us as the terminated lease, our results of operations and ability to pay dividends could be adversely affected.

Risks associated with the concentration of our lessees in certain geographical regions could harm our business.

In addition to global economic conditions, our business is exposed to local economic and political conditions that can influence the performance of lessees located in a particular region. The effect of
these conditions on payments to us will be more or less pronounced, depending on the concentration of lessees in the region with adverse conditions.

European concentration.Revenues from 28 lessees based in Europe accounted for 45% of our total revenues in 2012. Of the 28 lessees, 6 are based in Eastern Europe. Commercial airlines in
Europe face, and can be expected to continue to face, increased competitive pressures, in part as a result of the deregulation of the airline industry by the European Union and the development of low-cost carriers. In addition, European carriers may
be impacted by the recent lack of economic growth in Europe and the on-going debt crisis. European countries generally have relatively strict environmental regulations and traffic constraints that can restrict operational flexibility and decrease
aircraft productivity, which could significantly increase aircraft operating costs.

##### Table of Contents

Asian and South Pacific concentration.Revenues from 14 lessees based in Asia
(including India and Australia) accounted for 30% of our total revenues in 2012, and lease rental revenues from three lessees based in India accounted for 10% of total revenues. There are significant obstacles to the Indian airline industrys
development, including poor aviation infrastructure, continuing losses from operations due to overcapacity and other factors, continuing government control and regulation over the industry. If this control and regulation persists or expands, the
Indian airline industry likely would experience a significant decrease in growth or restrictions on future growth.

North
American concentration.Revenues from five lessees based in North America accounted for 12% of our total revenues in 2012. During the past 15 years a number of North American passenger airlines filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and
several major U.S. airlines ceased operations altogether. High labor costs, high fuel costs, the strength of labor unions in collective bargaining negotiations and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States have imposed
additional financial burdens on most U.S. airlines.

Mexico, South and Central American concentration.Revenues
from four lessees based in Mexico, South and Central America accounted for 8% of our total revenues in 2012. While lessees throughout the world are affected by exchange rate fluctuations as a result of the mismatch of U.S. dollar exposure between
their operating expenses and revenues, airlines in Mexico, South and Central America are particularly sensitive to this risk because of the history of currency devaluations in this region. Any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the local
currency could negatively impact the profitability of these airlines and their ability to meet their lease obligations to us. These risks are exacerbated by the potential for Mexican, South and Central American currencies to be devalued by
governments as they have been periodically during the last four decades.

Middle East and Africa concentration.Revenues from four lessees based in the Middle East and Africa accounted for 5% of our total revenues in 2012. Although we currently have limited exposure to airlines based in the Middle East, continued and spreading civil unrest in the
Middle East and other regions of the world may negatively impact airlines and airline travel.

The risks associated with the geographical
concentration of our lessees may become exacerbated as our aircraft are re-leased to lessees or subleased to sublessees in other regions or as we acquire additional aircraft.

In addition to the geographic concentrations described above, we also have significant exposure to risks associated with conducting business in emerging markets. Emerging markets have less developed
economies and infrastructure and are often more vulnerable to business and political disturbances, such as economic instability, significant fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates, civil unrest, government instability, the
nationalization or expropriation of private assets and the imposition of taxes or other charges by government authorities. The occurrence of any of these events in markets served by our lessees and the resulting economic instability may adversely
affect our ownership interest in aircraft or the ability of lessees which operate in these markets to meet their lease obligations. As a result, lessees that operate in emerging market countries may be more likely to default than lessees that
operate in developed countries. In addition, legal systems in emerging market countries may be less developed, which could make it more difficult for us to enforce our legal rights in such countries.

Further, demand for aircraft is dependent on passenger and cargo traffic, which in turn is dependent on general business and economic conditions. As a
result, weak or negative economic growth in emerging markets may have an indirect effect on the value of the assets that we acquire if airlines and other potential lessees are adversely affected. For these and other reasons, our financial condition
and results of operations may be negatively impacted by adverse economic and political developments in emerging market countries.

Risks
Related to the Aviation Industry

Airline reorganizations could impair our lessees ability to comply with their lease payment
obligations to us.

In recent years, multiple airlines have sought to reorganize and seek protection from creditors under their local
laws. Bankruptcies have led to the grounding of significant numbers of aircraft, rejections of leases and negotiated reductions in aircraft lease rentals, with the effect of depressing aircraft market values. Additional reorganizations or
liquidations by airlines under applicable bankruptcy or reorganization laws or further rejection or abandonment of aircraft by airlines in bankruptcy proceedings may depress aircraft values and aircraft lease rates. Additional grounded aircraft and
lower market values would adversely affect our ability to sell certain of our aircraft or re-lease other aircraft at favorable rates.

High fuel prices can adversely affect the profitability of the airline industry and our lessees ability to meet their lease payment
obligations to us.

Fuel costs represent a major expense to airlines, and fuel prices fluctuate widely depending primarily on
international market conditions, geopolitical and environmental events, regulatory changes including those related to greenhouse gas emissions and currency exchange rates. Fuel prices continue to have a significant impact on airline profitability.
Due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, airlines may not be able to pass on increases in fuel prices to their customers by increasing fares. If they pass on the higher costs, it may adversely affect demand for air travel, which would
reduce revenues to our customers. In addition, airlines may



16

##### Table of Contents

not be able to manage this risk by appropriately hedging their exposure to fuel price fluctuations. Although fuel prices have been relatively stable, they have stabilized at prices significantly
higher than historical averages. If fuel prices increase further, our lessees may incur higher costs or experience reduced revenues. Consequently, these conditions may:



| |  |  | affect our lessees ability to make rental and other lease payments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | result in lease restructurings and aircraft and engine repossessions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increase our costs of servicing and marketing aircraft;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | impair our ability to re-lease the aircraft and other aviation assets or re-lease or otherwise dispose of the assets on a timely basis at favorable
rates; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduce the proceeds received for the aircraft or other aviation assets upon any disposition.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Government regulations could require substantial expenditures, reduce our profitability and limit our growth.

Certain aspects of our business are subject to regulation by state, federal and foreign governmental authorities. Aircraft are subject to regulations
imposed by aviation authorities regarding aircraft maintenance and airworthiness. Laws affecting the airworthiness of aircraft generally are designed to ensure that all aircraft and related equipment are continuously maintained in proper condition
to enable safe operation of the aircraft. Aircraft manufacturers also may issue their own recommendations. Airworthiness directives and similar requirements typically set forth particular special maintenance actions or modifications to certain
aircraft types or models that the owners or operators of aircraft must implement.

Each lessee generally is responsible for complying with
airworthiness directives with respect to its aircraft and is required to maintain the aircrafts airworthiness. To the extent that a lessee fails to comply with airworthiness directives required to maintain its certificate of airworthiness or
other manufacturer requirements in respect of an aircraft or if the aircraft is not currently subject to a lease, we may have to bear the cost of such compliance. Under many leases, we have agreed to share with our lessees the cost of obligations
under airworthiness directives (or similar requirements). These expenditures can be substantial and, to the extent we are required to pay them, our cash flow and ability to pay dividends could be substantially adversely affected.

In addition to these expenditures, which may be substantial, significant new requirements with respect to noise standards, emission standards and other
aspects of our aircraft or their operation could cause our costs to increase and could cause the value of our aircraft portfolio to decrease. Other governmental regulations relating to noise and emissions levels may be imposed not only by the
jurisdictions in which the aircraft are registered, possibly as part of the airworthiness requirements, but also by other jurisdictions where the aircraft operate. In addition, most countries aviation laws require aircraft to be maintained
under an approved maintenance program having defined procedures and intervals for inspection, maintenance and repair. To the extent that our aircraft are off-lease or a lessee defaults in effecting such compliance, we are required to comply with
such requirements at our expense.

The effects of various environmental regulations may negatively affect the airline industry. This may
cause lessees to default on their lease payment obligations to us.

Governmental regulations regarding aircraft and engine noise and
emissions levels apply based on where the relevant aircraft is registered and operated. For example, jurisdictions throughout the world have adopted noise regulations which require all aircraft to comply with noise level standards. In addition to
the current requirements, the United States and the International Civil Aviation Organization, or ICAO, have adopted a new, more stringent set of standards for noise levels which applies to engines manufactured or certified on or after
January 1, 2006. Currently, U.S. regulations would not require any phase-out of aircraft that qualify with the older standards applicable to engines manufactured or certified prior to January 1, 2006, but the European Union has established
a framework for the imposition of operating limitations on aircraft that do not comply with the new standards. These regulations could limit the economic life of the aircraft and engines, reduce their value, limit our ability to lease or sell the
non-compliant aircraft and engines or, if engine modifications are permitted, require us to make significant additional investments in the aircraft and engines to make them compliant.

In addition to more stringent noise restrictions, the United States and other jurisdictions are beginning to impose more stringent limits on nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions
from engines, consistent with current ICAO standards. These limits generally apply only to engines manufactured after 1999. Certain of the aircraft engines owned by us were manufactured after 1999. Because aircraft engines are replaced from time to
time in the usual course, it is likely that the number of such engines may increase over time. Concerns over global warming could result in more stringent limitations on the operation of aircraft powered by older, non-compliant engines, as well as
newer engines.

European countries generally have relatively strict environmental regulations that can restrict operational flexibility and
decrease aircraft productivity. The European Parliament has confirmed that aviation is to be included in the European Unions Emissions Trading Scheme, although the start date has been deferred for one year to 2014. This inclusion could
possibly distort the European air



17

##### Table of Contents

transport market leading to higher ticket prices and ultimately a reduction in the number of airline passengers. As an answer to these concerns, European airlines have established the Committee
for Environmentally Friendly Aviation to promote the positive environmental performance of airlines.

Compliance with current or future
regulations, taxes or duties imposed to deal with environmental concerns could cause the lessees to incur higher costs and to generate lower net revenues, resulting in an adverse impact on their financial conditions. Consequently, such compliance
may affect the lessees ability to make rental and other lease payments and reduce the value received for the aircraft upon any disposition, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Additional terrorist attacks or the fear of such attacks or civil unrest, even if not made directly on the airline industry, could negatively
affect lessees and the airline industry.

As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and
subsequent terrorist attacks abroad, notably in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Europe, increased security restrictions were imposed on air travel. Costs for aircraft insurance and security measures have increased, passenger and cargo demand for
air travel decreased, and operators have faced increased difficulties in acquiring war risk and other insurance at reasonable costs.

Additional terrorist attacks, even if not made directly on the airline industry, or the fear of or any precautions taken in anticipation of such attacks
(including elevated national threat warnings or selective cancellation or reduction of flights), could materially adversely affect lessees and the airline industry. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and additional international hostilities, including
heightened terrorist activity, could also have a material adverse impact on our lessees financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Lessees financial resources might not be sufficient to absorb the adverse effects of any
further terrorist attacks or other international hostilities involving the United States or U.S. interests, which could result in significant decreases in aircraft leasing transactions thereby materially adversely affecting our results of
operations.

Epidemic diseases may hinder airline travel.

In the past, air travel has been adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemic diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), avian influenza or the bird flu, and H1N1 virus or
the swine flu. Outbreaks of pandemic diseases, or the fear of such events, could provoke responses, including government-imposed travel restrictions, which could negatively affect passenger demand for air travel and the financial condition of the
aviation industry.

Natural disasters and other natural phenomena may disrupt air travel.

Air travel can be disrupted, sometimes severely, by the occurrence of natural disasters and other natural phenomena. For example, the tsunami in Japan
and flooding in Thailand in 2011 and the spread of volcanic ash in Europe in early 2010 caused the closure of airports and flight cancellations throughout the affected area. The airline industry incurred substantial losses from these disruptions.

We depend on aircraft and engine manufacturers success in remaining financially stable and producing aircraft.

The supply of commercial aircraft is dominated by a few airframe manufacturers, including Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, ATR and
Bombardier, and a limited number of engine manufacturers, such as GE Aircraft Engines, Rolls-Royce plc, Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corporation, IAE International Aero Engines AG and CFM International, Inc. As a
result, we will be dependent on the success of these manufacturers in remaining financially stable, producing products and related components which meet the airlines demands, providing customer support and fulfilling any contractual
obligations they may have to us.

Should the manufacturers fail to respond appropriately to changes in the market environment or fail to
fulfill any contractual obligations they might have to us, we may experience:



| |  |  | missed or late delivery of aircraft and a potential inability to meet our contractual obligations owed to any of our then lessees, resulting in
potential lost or delayed revenues, lower growth rates and strained customer relationships;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an inability to acquire aircraft and related components on terms which will allow us to lease those aircraft to airline customers at a profit,
resulting in lower growth rates or a contraction in our aircraft fleet;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a market environment with too many aircraft available, potentially creating downward pressure on demand for the anticipated aircraft in our fleet and
reduced market lease rates and sale prices; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a reduction in our competitiveness due to deep discounting by the manufacturers, which may lead to reduced market lease rates and aircraft values and
may affect our ability to remarket or sell some of the aircraft in our fleet at a profit or at all.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new standard for lease accounting is expected to be announced in the future, but we are unable to
predict the impact of such a standard at this time.

In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued an Exposure Draft that proposes substantial changes to existing lease accounting, which will affect all lease arrangements. In July 2011, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
unanimously agreed to re-expose their revised proposals for a leases standard. The FASBs proposal requires that all leases be recorded on the statement of financial position of both the lessee and lessor. We are unable to predict the effect
the proposed change in lease accounting will have on the airline industrys leasing arrangements.

Risks Related to the Ownership of
Our Shares

We have anti-takeover provisions in our bye-laws and in some of our agreements that may discourage a change of control.

Our bye-laws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of
directors. These include:



| |  |  | provisions that permit us to require any competitor of BBAM LP that acquires beneficial ownership of more than 15% of our common shares either to
tender for all of our remaining common shares for no less than their fair market value, or sell such number of common shares to us or to third parties as this would reduce its beneficial ownership to less than 15%, in either case within 90 days of
our request to so tender or sell;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provisions that reduce the vote of each common share held by a competitor of BBAM LP that beneficially owns 15% or more, but less than 50%, of our
common shares to three-tenths of one vote per share on all matters upon which shareholders may vote;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provisions that permit our board of directors to determine the powers, preferences and rights of any preference shares we may issue and to issue any
such preference shares without shareholder approval;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advance notice requirements by shareholders for director nominations and actions to be taken at annual meetings; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors, such that all the directors standing for election may be elected by our shareholders
by a plurality of votes cast at a duly convened annual general meeting, the quorum for which is two or more persons present in person or by proxy at the start of the meeting and representing in excess of 25% of all votes attaching to all shares in
issue entitling the holder to vote at the meeting.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These provisions may make it difficult and expensive for a third party
to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by our management and/or our board of directors. Public shareholders who might desire to participate in these types of transactions may not have an opportunity to do so.
These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public shareholders to benefit from a change in control of our company or change our board of directors and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our shares
and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium.

In addition, provisions in our management agreement and certain other
agreements could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire our company without the consent of our board of directors or BBAM. Upon a change of control, our management agreement requires us to pay a fee equal to 1.5% of the Companys
enterprise value to our manager.

We are a Bermuda company that is managed and controlled in Ireland. It may be difficult for you to
enforce judgments against us or against our directors and executive officers.

We were incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and are
managed and controlled in Ireland. Our business is based outside the United States and a majority of our directors and officers reside outside the United States and a majority of our assets and some or all of the assets of such persons are located
outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to effect service of process within the United States upon us or those persons, or to recover against us or them on judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments predicated
upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Further, no claim may be brought in Bermuda or Ireland against us or our directors and officers in the first instance for violation of U.S. federal securities laws because
these laws have no extraterritorial application under Bermuda or Irish law and do not have force of law in Bermuda or Ireland. However, a Bermuda or Irish court may impose civil liability, including the possibility of monetary damages, on us or our
directors and officers if the facts alleged in a complaint constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Bermuda or Irish law.

There is
doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda or Ireland would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our directors and officers, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, or
entertain actions brought in Bermuda or Ireland against us or such persons predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws. Further, there is no treaty in effect between the United States and Bermuda or Ireland providing for the enforcement of
judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters, and there are grounds upon which Bermuda or Irish courts may decline to enforce the judgments of U.S. courts. Some remedies available under the laws of U.S. jurisdictions, including some
remedies available under the U.S. federal

##### Table of Contents

securities laws, may not be allowed in Bermuda or Irish courts as contrary to public policy in Bermuda or Ireland. Because judgments of U.S. courts are not automatically enforceable in Bermuda or
Ireland, it may be difficult for you to recover against us or our directors and officers based upon such judgments.

As a shareholder of
our company, you may have greater difficulties in protecting your interests than as a shareholder of a U.S. corporation.

The
Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, which we refer to as the Companies Act, applies to our company and differs in material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Taken together with
the provisions of our bye-laws, some of these differences may result in your having greater difficulties in protecting your interests as a shareholder of our company than you would have as a shareholder of a U.S. corporation. This affects, among
other things, the circumstances under which transactions involving an interested director are voidable, whether an interested director can be held accountable for any benefit realized in a transaction with our company, what approvals are required
for business combinations by our company with a large shareholder or a wholly-owned subsidiary, what rights you may have as a shareholder to enforce specified provisions of the Companies Act or our bye-laws, and the circumstances under which we may
indemnify our directors and officers.

Risks Related to Taxation

If we generate ordinary earnings for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. shareholders may be required to include their pro rata share of these ordinary earnings in their gross income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.

We expect that we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year and future taxable years and that U.S. Holders of shares will be subject to the PFIC rules. However, no assurance can be given that we will or will not be considered a PFIC in the current
or future years. The determination whether or not we are a PFIC is a factual determination that is made annually based on the types of income we earn and the value of our assets, and because certain aspects of the PFIC rules are not entirely
certain, there can be no assurance that we are or are not a PFIC or that the IRS will agree with our conclusion regarding our PFIC status. A U.S. Holder of shares of a PFIC is subject to special rules and a variety of potentially adverse tax
consequences under the U.S. federal income tax laws. Assuming we are a PFIC, U.S. Holders of our shares will be subject to different taxation rules with respect to an investment in our shares depending on whether they elect to treat us as a
qualified electing fund, or a QEF, with respect to their investment in our shares. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owns our shares (and if we comply with certain reporting requirements, which
we have done and intend to), then such U.S. Holder will be required for each taxable year to include in income a pro rata share of our ordinary earnings as ordinary income and a pro rata share of our net capital gains as long-term capital gain,
subject to a separate voluntary election to defer payment of taxes, which deferral is subject to an interest charge. Such inclusion is required even if the amount exceeds cash distributions, if any. (See ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 
Taxation  U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations)

We may face increased tax costs.

We and our subsidiaries could face increased tax costs for various reasons, including our failure to qualify for treaty benefits under the Irish Treaty,
the maintenance of a permanent establishment within the United States, or the deduction of withholding taxes from rent payments. Any increase in our tax costs, directly or indirectly, would adversely affect our net income and would decrease cash
available for distribution to our shareholders.

In addition, because Ireland does not have tax treaties with all jurisdictions, we may find
it necessary to establish subsidiaries in other jurisdictions to lease or sublease aircraft to customers in those jurisdictions. Such subsidiaries may be subject to taxation in the jurisdictions in which they are organized, which would reduce our
net income and have an adverse impact on our cash flow available for distribution to our shareholders.

In addition, any increase in Irish
corporate tax rates could have an adverse impact on us. The recent economic instability in Ireland and the EU led bailout of Ireland have led to speculation that Ireland could be required to increase its corporate tax rate at some point in the
future.

The tax rate applicable to us would be higher than we expect if we were considered not to be carrying
on a trade in Ireland for the purposes of Irish law.

We are subject to Irish corporation tax on our net trading income at the rate of
12.5%. Under Irish tax law, non-trading income is taxed at the rate of 25% and capital gains are taxed at the rate of 33%. We believe that we carry on sufficient activity in Ireland, directly through our board of directors and indirectly through the
services of our Manager, BBAM LP and our Servicer, so as to be treated as carrying on a trade in Ireland for the purposes of Irish tax law. If we or any of our Irish tax-resident subsidiaries were considered not to be carrying on a trade in Ireland,
we or they may be subject to additional Irish tax liabilities. The application of a higher tax rate (25% instead of 12.5%) on taxable income could decrease cash available for distribution to our shareholders. In addition, we cannot assure you that
the 12.5% tax rate applicable to trading income, the 33% tax rate applicable to capital gains or the 25% tax rate applicable to non-trading income will not be changed in the future.



|ITEM 4. | INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
|------- | --------------------------

Fly Leasing
Limited is a Bermuda exempted company that was incorporated on May 3, 2007, under the provisions of Section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. We are principally engaged in purchasing commercial aircraft which we lease under
multi-year contracts to a diverse group of airlines throughout the world.

Our registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church
Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. Although we are organized under the laws of Bermuda, we are resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes and thus are subject to Irish corporation tax on our income in the same way, and to the same extent, as if we
were organized under the laws of Ireland. Our principal executive offices are located at West Pier, Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin, Ireland. Our telephone number at that address is +353-1-231-1900. Our agent for service of process in the United States
is Puglisi & Associates located at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711. Our web address is: www.flyleasing.com.

On October 2, 2007, we completed our initial public offering with the issuance of 18,695,650 common shares and completed a private placement of 14,907,800 common shares, each in the form of ADSs.
These shares have all been registered.

On October 14, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the GAAM portfolio of 49 aircraft and other
assets valued at approximately $1.4 billion. The purchase was funded with approximately $141.7 million of our unrestricted cash and our assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of secured, non-recourse debt.

As of December 31, 2012, our portfolio consisted of 109 aircraft. Since December 31, 2012, we have sold three additional aircraft.

Our Relationship with BBAM

BBAM is a
leading commercial jet aircraft servicer. BBAM and its affiliates assist us in acquiring, leasing and re-marketing aircraft, manage our day-to-day operations and affairs and act as Servicer for our portfolio of aircraft and related leases.

We engage BBAM and its affiliates as Manager of our company and Servicer for our aircraft portfolio under management and servicing
agreements. Our Manager manages our company under the direction of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who are exclusively dedicated to our business and BBAM assists our Manager in acquiring and disposing of our aircraft,
markets our aircraft for lease and re-lease, collects rents and other payments from the lessees of our aircraft, monitors maintenance, insurance and other obligations under our leases and enforces our rights against lessees. BBAM is among the
largest aircraft leasing companies in the world, as measured by the number of owned and managed aircraft in its portfolio.

On April 29,
2010, the management team of BBAM, through Summit Aviation Partners LLC (Summit) purchased substantially all of the aviation assets of Babcock & Brown and its affiliates, including Babcock & Browns ownership
interests in BBAM, the Manager and certain other companies that manage and service Fly and its aircraft portfolio.

On April 29, 2010, we
purchased through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fly-BBAM, a 15% interest in BBAM LP for $8.75 million. BBAM LP provides management and administrative services to Fly, including servicing of its aircraft portfolio. Summit owned the remaining 85%
interest in BBAM LP. Also as part of the transaction, Summit acquired 1,000,000 Fly shares from Babcock & Brown.

On
December 28, 2012, we sold our 15% interest in BBAM LP to Onex for $49.5 million. Summit also sold a 35% interest in BBAM LP to Onex resulting in Onex owning 50% of BBAM LP and Summit owning the remaining 50%. Concurrent with the transaction,
Summit and Onex invested $5.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for a total of $25.0 million in 2,191,060 newly issued common shares of Fly. The new shares were sold at a per share price of $11.41, which represents a 5% discount to the
volume-weighted average price of Flys common shares in the five-day period ended November 29, 2012. The shares are subject to lock-up provisions, and we have agreed to register these shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to a registration rights agreement.

As of December 31, 2012, our aircraft portfolio consisted of 109 commercial jet aircraft with 103 narrow-body passenger aircraft (including two freighters) and six wide-body passenger aircraft.

As of December 31, 2012, we had 59 Boeing aircraft and 50 Airbus aircraft in our fleet. The aircraft in our portfolio were manufactured
between 1990 and 2011 and have a weighted average age of 9.4 years as of December 31, 2012. We estimate that the useful life of our aircraft is generally 25 years from the date of manufacture. In the case of a freighter, the remaining useful
life is determined based on the date of conversion and in such case, the total useful life may extend beyond 25 years from the date of manufacture.

The following table presents the aircraft in our portfolio as of December 31, 2012:

Our portfolio is composed of 89% narrow-body aircraft based on net book values as of December 31, 2012 and includes
the Airbus A319, Airbus A320 and next generation Boeing 737 aircraft families, which enjoy high worldwide demand due to their fuel-efficient design, relatively low maintenance costs, and an increase in customer demand for point-to-point destination
service. These aircraft are based on more routes around the world than any other airframe and thus have the largest installed base. As a result, we believe they are easier and more cost-efficient to lease and market than wide-body jets or other
specialized types of aircraft.

The following table presents the composition of our portfolio based on airframe type:

Our Leases

Lease Terms

All of our aircraft are subject to leases under which the lessees are
responsible for most operational and insurance costs, and 92 of the 103 leases in our portfolio are subject to fixed rental rates. Our portfolio is diversified across 55 different airlines in 32 countries, in both developed and emerging markets. Our
leases are scheduled to expire between 2013 and 2020 and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 3.2 years as of December 31, 2012.

The following table presents the scheduled lease maturity of the aircraft in our portfolio as of December 31, 2012:

##### Table of Contents

At December 31, 2012, we had 11 leases scheduled to expire in 2013 with six aircraft off-lease. Of the
six aircraft off-lease, we sold two aircraft and re-leased one aircraft to a new lessee subsequent to year end. During the first quarter of 2013, we sold one additional aircraft and early terminated the lease of four aircraft, bringing the total
number of aircraft for remarketing in 2013 to 17.

Under our leases, the lessees agree to lease the aircraft for a fixed term, although in
some cases the lessees have early termination or lease extension options.

We receive substantially all of our revenue and pay substantially
all of our expenses in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2012, we have four leases to which we receive part of the lease payments in either euros or Australian dollars. We have entered into foreign currency derivative transactions related to
these leases. Most lease rentals are payable monthly in advance, but some lease rentals are payable in arrears or quarterly. Of our leases, 92 have fixed rental rates and 11 have floating rental rates. In addition, because most of our debt bears
floating rates of interest, we manage interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swaps pursuant to which we make fixed-rate interest payments on the swap and receive floating-rate payments. All leases are on a net basis with the
lessee generally responsible for all operating expenses, which customarily include maintenance, fuel, crews, airport and navigation charges, taxes, licenses, aircraft registration and insurance.

Most of our leases provide that the lessees payment obligations are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Lessees are
generally required to make payment without deduction of any amounts that we may owe the lessee or any claims that the lessee may have against us. Most of our leases also require lessees to gross up lease payments where they are subject to
withholdings and other taxes.

The cost of an aircraft typically is not fully recovered over the term of the initial lease. We therefore
assume the risk that we will not be able to recover our investment in the aircraft upon expiration or early termination of the lease and of the ultimate residual value. Operating leases allow airlines greater fleet and financial flexibility than
outright ownership because of the relatively shorter-term nature of operating leases, the relatively small initial capital outlay necessary to obtain use of the aircraft and the significant reduction in aircraft residual value risk.

Security Deposits and Letters of Credit.The majority of our leases provide for cash security deposits and/or letters of credit which may be drawn
in the event that a lessee defaults under its respective lease. These security deposits and/or letters of credit may mitigate losses we may incur while attempting to re-lease the aircraft. Under certain circumstances, the lessee may be required to
obtain guarantees or other financial support from an acceptable financial institution or other third parties.

Maintenance Obligations.Under our leases, the lessee is generally responsible for all normal unscheduled maintenance and repairs and compliance with return conditions of aircraft on lease. In connection with the lease of a used aircraft we sometimes agree to contribute
specific additional amounts to the cost of certain major overhauls or modifications, which usually reflect the usage of the aircraft prior to the commencement of the lease. In many cases, we also agree to share with our lessees the cost of
compliance with airworthiness directives.

Our portfolio includes leases pursuant to which we collect maintenance reserve payments that are
determined based on passage of time or usage of the aircraft measured by hours flown or cycles operated. These payments may be paid in cash or letters of credit which can be drawn if maintenance obligations are not otherwise paid. Under these
leases, we are obligated to make reimbursements to the lessee for expenses incurred for certain major maintenance, up to a maximum amount that is typically determined based on maintenance reserves paid by the lessee. Certain leases also require us
to make maintenance contributions for costs associated with certain major maintenance events in excess of any maintenance reserve payments. Major maintenance includes heavy airframe, off-wing engine, landing gear and auxiliary power unit overhauls
and replacements of engine life limited parts. We are not obligated to make maintenance contributions under any lease at any time that a lessee default is continuing. We also have leases that provide for a lease-end adjustment payment based on the
usage of the aircraft during the lease term and its condition upon redelivery. Typically, payments are made by the lessee to us, although in some cases, we have been required to make such payments to the lessee.

Compliance with Laws.The lessee is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to the aircraft. We generally
require our lessees to comply with the standards of either the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration or its non-U.S. equivalent. We often require a deposit as security for the lessees performance of obligations under the lease and the condition
of the aircraft upon return.

General.Each aircraft generally must remain in the possession of the applicable lessee and any
sublessees of the aircraft generally must be approved by the lessor unless, in some leases, certain conditions are met. Under most of our leases, the lessees may enter into charter or wet lease arrangements in respect of the aircraft
(i.e., a lease with crew and services provided by the lessor under the lease), provided the lessee does not part with operational control of the aircraft. Under some of our leases, the lessee is permitted to enter into subleases with specified
operators or types of operators without the lessors consent, provided certain conditions are met. As of December 31, 2012, our lessees have informed us of the following subleases:



|                                  |  |                                                           
|--------------------------------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------
|Lessee                            |  | Sublessee

Our leases also generally permit the lessees to subject the equipment or components to removal or
replacement and, in certain cases, to pooling arrangements (temporary borrowing of equipment), without the lessors consent but subject to conditions and criteria set forth in the applicable lease. Under our leases, the lessee may deliver
possession of the aircraft, engines and other equipment or components to the relevant manufacturer for testing or similar purposes, or to a third party for service, maintenance, repair or other work required or permitted under the lease.

Some foreign countries have currency and exchange laws regulating the international transfer of currencies. When necessary, we will require as a
condition to any foreign transaction, that the lessee or purchaser in a foreign country obtain the necessary approvals of the appropriate government agency, finance ministry or central bank for the remittance of all funds contractually owed in U.S.
dollars. We attempt to minimize our currency and exchange risks by negotiating most of our aircraft leases and all of our sales transactions in U.S. dollars. We have four leases pursuant to which we receive part of the lease payments in either euros
or Australian dollars. We have entered into foreign currency derivative transactions related to these leases. As a result, all of our revenues were received in U.S. dollars, and we paid substantially all of our expenses in U.S. dollars.

Lease Restructurings.During the term of a lease, a lessees business circumstances may change to the point where it is economically sensible
for us to consider restructuring the terms of the lease. Restructurings may involve the voluntary termination of leases prior to the scheduled lease expiration, the arrangement of subleases from the primary lessee to another airline, the
rescheduling of lease payments, the forgiveness and/or reduction of lease obligations and the extension of the lease terms.

Aircraft
Repossessions.On a lease default, we may seek to terminate the lease and gain possession of the aircraft for remarketing. Although the majority of repossessions are accomplished through negotiation, if we cannot obtain the lessees
cooperation we would have to take legal action in the appropriate jurisdiction. This legal process could delay the ultimate return of the aircraft. In addition, in connection with the repossession of an aircraft, we may be required to pay
outstanding mechanics, airport, navigation and other liens on the repossessed aircraft. These charges could relate to other aircraft that we do not own but were operated by the defaulting lessee. In contested repossessions, we likely would incur
substantial additional costs for maintenance, refurbishment and remarketing of the aircraft.

Lease Management and Remarketing

We outsource our lease management and aircraft remarketing activities to BBAM. Pursuant to our servicing agreements with BBAM, BBAM
provides us with services related to leasing our fleet, including marketing aircraft for lease and re-lease or sale, collecting rents and other payments from the lessees of our aircraft, monitoring maintenance, insurance and other obligations under
our leases and enforcing our rights against lessees.

At December 31, 2012, we had 11 leases scheduled to expire in 2013 with six
aircraft off-lease. Of the six aircraft off-lease, we sold two aircraft and re-leased one aircraft to a new lessee subsequent to year end. During the first quarter of 2013, we sold one additional aircraft and early terminated the lease of four
aircraft, bringing the total number of aircraft for remarketing in 2013 to 17. We may have additional remarketings in 2013 if any other leases are terminated prior to their scheduled expiry dates.

From time to time, we may decide to dispose of our aircraft at or before the expiration of their leases. In 2012, we sold four aircraft to unrelated
third parties.

Competition

The leasing and remarketing of commercial jet aircraft is highly competitive. We face competition from airlines, aircraft manufacturers, financial
institutions, aircraft brokers, special purpose vehicles formed for the purpose of acquiring, leasing and selling aircraft, and public and private partnerships, investors and funds, including private equity firms and hedge funds. Competition for
leasing transactions is based on a number of factors including delivery dates, lease rates, lease terms, aircraft condition and the availability in the marketplace of the types of aircraft to meet the needs of the customers. See the risk factor
We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities in aircraft and other aviation assets.

Insurance

We require our lessees to obtain those types of insurance and, as appropriate, reinsurance coverage which are customary in the air
transportation industry. These include aircraft all-risk hull insurance covering the aircraft and its engines and spares and hull and



27

##### Table of Contents

spares war and allied perils insurance covering risks such as hijacking, terrorism, confiscation, expropriation, seizure and nationalization to the extent normally available in the international
market. Coverage under aircraft hull insurance policies generally is subject to standard deductible levels in respect of partial damage to the aircraft, in some instances and under certain circumstances the lessee has the right to self-insure some
or all of the risk. The lessee is required to pay all deductibles, and also would be responsible for payment of amounts self-insured

We also
require our lessees to carry comprehensive aviation liability insurance, including war and allied perils coverage, provisions for bodily injury, property damage, passenger liability, cargo liability and such other provisions reasonably necessary in
commercial passenger and cargo airline operations. Coverage under liability policies generally is not subject to deductibles except as to baggage and cargo that are standard in the airline insurance industry.

In general, we are named as an additional insured and loss payee on the hull all risks and hull and spares war policies for the sum of the stipulated
loss value or agreed value of the aircraft and our own contingent coverage in place is at least equal to the appraised value of the aircraft. In cases where the Servicer believes that the agreed value stated in the lease is not sufficient, the
Servicer will purchase additional coverage, either in the form of hull and hull war total loss only or hull and hull war excess hull insurance for the deficiency and as an additional insured on the liability policies carried by our lessees.

The Servicer will obtain certificates of insurance/reinsurance from the lessees brokers to evidence the existence of such coverage.
These certificates generally include, in addition to the information above, (i) a breach of warranty endorsement so that, subject to certain standard exceptions, our interests are not prejudiced by any act or omission of the lessee,
(ii) confirmation that the liability coverage is primary and not contributory, (iii) agreement that insurers waive rights of subrogation against us and (iv) in respect to all policies, a 30-day notice of cancellation or material
change; however, war and allied perils policies customarily provide seven days advance written notice for cancellation and may be subject to lesser notice under certain market conditions.

The insurance market imposes a sub limit on each operators primary liability policy applicable to third-party war risk liability, this limit customarily does not exceed $150 million upon which
additional excess third party war liability coverage is then obtained in the London and the International Markets. U.S., Canadian and certain other non-European Community-based airlines have government war-risk insurance programs available in which
they currently participate.

Although we currently require each lessee to purchase third party war risk liability in amounts greater than such
sublimits, or obtain an indemnity from their government, the market or applicable governments may discontinue to make such excess coverage available for premiums that are acceptable to carriers. As a result, it is possible that we may be required to
permit lessees to operate with considerably less third-party war risk liability coverage than currently carried, which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of our lessees and on us in the event of an uncovered claim.

In addition to the coverage maintained by our lessees, we maintain both contingent hull, hull war and liability insurance and possession
hull, hull war and liability insurance with respect to our aircraft. Such contingent insurance is intended to provide coverage in the event that the insurance maintained by any of our lessees should not be available for our benefit as required
pursuant to the terms of the contract. Such possession insurance is intended to provide coverage for any periods in which an aircraft is not subject to a lease agreement with a lessee. Consistent with industry practice, our possession insurance
policies are subject to commercially reasonable deductibles or self-retention amounts.

We cannot assure you that we have adequately insured
against all risks, that lessees will at all times comply with their obligations to maintain insurance, that any particular claim will be paid, or that we will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the
future.

Government Regulation

The air transportation industry is highly regulated. Because we do not operate aircraft, we generally are not directly subject to most of these laws.
However, our lessees are subject to extensive regulation under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are registered or under which they operate. These laws govern, among other things, the registration, operation, maintenance and condition of
our aircraft. See the risk factor, We cannot assure you that all lessees will comply with the registration requirements in the jurisdiction where they operate.

Most of our aircraft are registered in the jurisdictions in which the lessees of our aircraft are certified as air operators. As a result, our aircraft are subject to the airworthiness and other standards
imposed by these jurisdictions. See the risk factor, Government regulations could require substantial expenditures, reduce our profitability and limit our growth.

Properties

We have no physical facilities. Our executive offices are located on our
Managers premises in Dublin, Ireland.

Overview

Fly Leasing Limited is a Bermuda exempted company that was incorporated on May 3, 2007, under the provisions of Section 14 of the Companies Act
1981 of Bermuda. We are principally engaged in purchasing commercial aircraft which we lease under multi-year contracts to a diverse group of airlines throughout the world.

Although we are organized under the laws of Bermuda, we are a resident of Ireland for tax purposes and are subject to Irish corporation tax on our income in the same way, and to the same extent, as if we
were organized under the laws of Ireland.

On October 14, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio of 49 aircraft and
other assets valued at approximately $1.4 billion. The acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio was accounted for as a business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
As of December 31, 2012, we owned a portfolio of 109 aircraft.

On December 28, 2012, we sold our 15% interest in BBAM LP for $49.5
million to Onex and Summit sold 35% of its interest in BBAM LP to Onex. Concurrent with the transaction, Onex and Summit purchased 2,191,060 newly issued common shares of Fly for an aggregate of $25.0 million or $11.41 per share.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had net income of $47.7 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.80. Net cash flows provided by
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $180.4 million. Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $56.1 million and net cash used in financing activities was $155.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2012. We paid $22.5 million in dividends in 2012.

Impact of GAAM Portfolio Acquisition

On October 14, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio and assumed approximately $1.2 billion of secured, non-recourse debt
financing. Because the majority of GAAMs debt was entered into during a period of favorable market conditions which provided for lower borrowing margins and higher loan-to-value ratios than are currently available, we recorded GAAMs debt
on our balance sheet at a fair value that is lower than its face value. This difference is being amortized into interest expense for the remaining terms of the debt facilities, resulting in higher interest expense than our cash interest payments.

We also evaluated whether the leases acquired with the aircraft in the GAAM Portfolio were at fair market value by comparing the contractual
lease rates to the range of current lease rates of like aircraft. We recognized a lease premium when we determined that an acquired leases terms were above market value and a lease discount when the acquired leases terms were below fair
market value. Lease discounts are capitalized into other liabilities and accreted as additional rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease premiums are capitalized into other assets and amortized against rental revenue on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. In the aggregate, lease premiums exceeded lease discounts, and the amortization of these lease premiums reduces our reported operating lease revenues for the remaining terms of such leases.

The following table shows the impact of the amortization of debt discounts, lease premiums and certain other items for year ended December 31, 2013
and for the succeeding five years. This table reflects our current portfolio and debt facilities. The amortization amounts for each applicable period may change for a number of reasons, including, among other things, aircraft dispositions, debt
repayments and refinancings.

Market Conditions

The airline industry was profitable in most parts of the world in 2011 and 2012. Although we expect airlines to show increased profitability in 2013 compared to 2012, profits are not uniformly
distributed among airlines and certain airlines, particularly smaller airlines and start-up carriers, continue to struggle financially. These lessees may be unable to make lease rental and other payments on a timely basis.

Contributing to the volatility of the aircraft leasing market conditions are macro-economic factors and political trends. Despite these challenging
conditions, there continues to be an overall positive trend in world air traffic demand which we believe will drive growth in the aircraft leasing market in the long-term. Aircraft demand continues to increase each year, with aircraft
manufacturers increasing their production rates to meet this demand. Currently, leased aircraft make up approximately 40% of the world wide commercial jet aircraft fleet that is in service and this percentage is expected to increase to 50% by 2020.

Market conditions for lease rates are generally stable, dependent on aircraft type and age. As previously discussed, we have 17 aircraft
that need to be re-marketed in 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Fly prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, investments, deferred assets, accruals and
reserves. We utilize third party appraisers and industry valuation professionals, where possible, to support estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite our best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could
differ from those estimates. The following is a discussion of the accounting policies that involve a high degree of judgment and the methods of their application.

Rent Receivables

Rent receivables represent unpaid lessee obligations under
existing lease contracts. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is established on a specific identification basis and is maintained at a level believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in rent receivables. The assessment
of credit risk is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held, the financial strength and condition of a debtor and the current economic and regulatory conditions of the debtors operating
environment and geographical areas. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and consideration of current factors and economic trends
impacting the lessees and their credit worthiness, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Uncollectible rent receivables are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the
allowance. A provision for credit losses is recorded based on managements periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no allowance for doubtful
accounts, although we had two lessees on non-accrual status. We recognize revenue from these two lessees when cash is received.

Flight Equipment Held for Operating Leases

Flight equipment held for operating leases are recorded at cost and depreciated to estimated residual values on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives. Useful life is generally
25 years from the date of manufacture. Residual values are generally estimated to be 15% of original manufacturers estimated realized price for the flight equipment when new. Management may, at its discretion, make exceptions to this policy on
a case by case basis when, in its judgment, the residual value calculated pursuant to this policy does not appear to reflect current expectations of residual values. Examples of such situations include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | Flight equipment where original manufacturers prices are not relevant due to plane modifications and conversions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Flight equipment which is out of production and may have a shorter useful life or lower residual value due to obsolescence.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The remaining useful life of a converted freighter is determined based on the date of conversion and in such case, the total useful life may extend
beyond 25 years from the date of manufacture.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated residual values and useful lives of flight equipment are reviewed
and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period.

Major improvements to be performed by us pursuant to the lease agreement are
accounted for as lease incentives and are amortized against revenue over the term of the lease, assuming no lease renewals. Lessee specific modifications to the aircraft are capitalized and also amortized against revenue over the term of the lease.
Generally, lessees are required to provide for repairs, scheduled maintenance and overhauls during the lease term and to be compliant with return conditions of flight equipment at lease termination.

Major improvements and modifications incurred for an aircraft that is off-lease are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the flight
equipment. In addition, costs paid by us for scheduled maintenance and overhauls are also capitalized and depreciated over a period to the next scheduled maintenance or overhaul event. Miscellaneous repairs are expensed when incurred.

At the time of an aircraft acquisition, we evaluate whether the lease acquired with the aircraft is at fair market value by comparing the contractual
lease rates to the range of current lease rates of like aircraft. A lease premium is recognized when it is determined that the acquired leases terms are above market value; lease discounts are recognized when it is determined that the acquired
leases terms are below fair market value. Lease discounts are capitalized into other liabilities and accreted as additional rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease premiums are capitalized into other assets and
amortized against rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of Flight Equipment

We evaluate flight equipment for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be
recoverable. Our evaluation of impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, recent transactions for similar aircraft, adverse changes in market conditions for specific aircraft types, third party appraisals of specific aircraft, published
values for similar aircraft, any occurrences of adverse changes in the aviation industry and the overall market conditions that could impact the fair value of our aircraft. The review for recoverability includes an assessment of the estimated future
cash flows associated with the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we will assess whether the carrying
values of the flight equipment exceed the fair values and an impairment loss is required. The impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value.

Future cash flows are assumed to occur under current market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing and able buyer and a willing
seller. Expected future lease rates are based on all relevant information available, including the existing lease, current contracted rates for similar aircraft, appraisal data and industry trends. Residual value assumptions generally reflect an
aircrafts salvage value, except where more recent industry information indicates a different value is appropriate.

The preparation of
these impairment analyses requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the level of future rents, the residual value of the flight equipment to be realized upon sale at some date in the future, estimated downtime between re-leasing
events and the amount of re-leasing costs.

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

We had a 15.0% interest in BBAM LP which we sold to Onex in December 2012. We also have a 57.4% interest in Fly-Z/C LP. We account for our interest in
unconsolidated subsidiaries using the equity method as we do not control the entities. Under the equity method, we initially record our investment at cost and the carrying amount is affected by our share of the unconsolidated subsidiaries
undistributed earnings and losses, and distributions of dividends and capital.

We periodically review the carrying amount of our investment
in the unconsolidated subsidiaries, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. If the investment were determined to be impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, we would record a loss equal to
the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying value in the period of identification.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance
with applicable FASB guidelines. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values. Pursuant to hedge accounting provisions, changes in the fair value of the item being hedged can be recognized into earnings in the same period
and in the same income statement line as the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we formally document all relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as
well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction.

Derivative instruments designated in a hedge
relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument
on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as an effective cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax,
until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged item. Any derivative gains and losses that are not effective in hedging the variability of expected cash flows of the hedged item or that do not qualify for hedge treatment
are recognized directly into income.

At the hedges inception and at least quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to
determine whether changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in the future. We discontinue hedge
accounting prospectively when (i) we determine that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (iii) we
determine that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the derivative instrument is carried at its fair market
value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized into current-period earnings. The remaining balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the derivative that has been discontinued is not recognized in the income
statement unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. Such amounts are recognized in earnings when earnings are affected by the hedged transaction.

Maintenance Payment Liability

Our flight equipment is typically subject to
triple-net leases under which the lessee is responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes. Flys operating leases also obligate the lessees to comply with all governmental requirements applicable to the flight equipment, including without
limitation, operational, maintenance, registration requirements and airworthiness directives.

Under the terms of the lease agreements, cash
collected from lessees for future maintenance of the aircraft is recorded as maintenance payment liabilities. Maintenance payment liabilities are attributable to specific aircraft and are typically based on hours or cycles of utilization, depending
upon the component. Upon occurrence of qualified maintenance events, the lessee submits a request for reimbursement and upon disbursement of the funds, the liability is relieved.

In some leases, the lessor may be obligated to contribute to maintenance related expenses on an aircraft during the term of the lease. In other instances, the lessee or lessor may be obligated to make a
payment to the other party at the end of lease based on a computation stipulated in the lease agreement. The calculation is based on the utilization and condition of the airframe, engines and other major life-limited components as determined at
lease termination.

We may also incur maintenance expenses on off-lease aircraft. Scheduled major maintenance or overhaul activities and costs
for certain high-value components that are paid by us are capitalized and depreciated over the period until the next overhaul is required. Amounts paid by us for minor maintenance, repairs and re-leasing of aircraft are expensed as incurred.

Maintenance payment liability balances at the end of a lease or any amount received as part of a redelivery adjustment are recorded as lease
revenue at lease termination, including early termination upon a default. When flight equipment is sold, the maintenance payment liability amounts may be remitted to the buyer in accordance with the terms of the related agreements and are released
from the balance sheet as part of the disposition gain or loss.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Fly and the revenue can be reliably measured. Where
revenue amounts do not meet these recognition criteria, they are deferred and recognized in the period in which the recognition criteria are met. Rental income from aircraft is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the
respective lease. The operating lease agreements generally do not provide for purchase options, however, the leases may allow the lessee the option to extend the lease for an additional term. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue when the
contingency is resolved. Revenue is not recognized when collection is not reasonably assured.

Share Based Compensation

We have a 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan) which permitted the issuance of up to 1,500,000 share grants in the form of (i) stock
appreciation rights (SARs); (ii) restricted stock units (RSUs); (iii) nonqualified stock options; and (iv) other stock-based awards. In May 2012, we made an aggregate grant of 300,000 SARs and RSUs to certain
employees of BBAM LP, who provide services to Fly pursuant to management and servicing agreements. As of December 31, 2012, we made aggregate grants of 1,500,000 stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted stock units
(RSUs) to certain employees of BBAM LP who provide services to us pursuant to certain management and servicing agreements. We will not issue any additional awards under the 2010 Plan. Compensation expense associated with grants to
employees are valued at the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period. Grants to non-employees are initially measured at grant date, and then re-measured at each interim reporting period until the awards are vested.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculation of the fair value of stock-based awards requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, forfeitures and expected grant life.

Taxes

Fly
provides for income taxes by tax jurisdiction. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and tax basis of existing assets and
liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount which management ultimately expects to be more-likely-than-not
realized.

Fly applies a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained in the examination of tax uncertainty in income taxes.
Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. We have elected to classify any interest on unpaid income taxes and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. No interest on unpaid income taxes
and penalties were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to achieve common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about
fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The update does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect
valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The accounting standard update was effective for interim and annual periods beginning in 2012. The accounting standard update did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard to facilitate convergence between GAAP and IFRS by eliminating the option to
present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The standard requires all nonowner changes in stockholders equity to be presented either in a single continuous statement of
comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard was effective for interim and annual periods beginning in 2012. We have adopted the standard, and we have presented components of other comprehensive income in a
separate statement of comprehensive income.

Rental revenues received from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, operating lease revenue totaled $376.4 million, an increase of $145.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of $117.4 million from
the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio, (ii) an increase of $14.1 million from other aircraft purchased in 2011 and 2012, and (iii) an increase of $46.9 million from end of lease revenue recognized compared to the prior year. The increases
were partially offset by: (i) a decrease of $19.5 million in revenues for aircraft sold in 2012 and 2011, (ii) a decrease of $3.3 million in rents collected from lessees who are on non-accrual status, and (iii) a decrease of $7.6
million in revenues from lease extensions, restructurings and remarketings.

Amortization of lease incentives recorded as reduction of
operating lease revenue totaled $7.0 million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the
years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded equity earnings from our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries of $9.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, or an increase of $3.8 million. Compared to 2011, equity earnings from BBAM
LP and Fly-Z/C LP increased $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold four
aircraft and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $8.4 million. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold two aircraft for an aggregate gain on sale of $9.1 million.

On December 28, 2012, we sold our 15.0% interest in BBAM LP to Onex for $49.5 million and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $36.9 million.

Depreciation expense during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $136.6 million, compared to $95.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2011, an increase of $40.9 million. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio and other aircraft acquired during 2012 and 2011, partially offset by aircraft sold in 2012 and 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized aircraft impairment of $11.4 million related to two Boeing 737-500 aircraft which were
manufactured in 1992 and an Airbus A320-200 aircraft which was manufactured in 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized an impairment charge of $7.5 million related to the same two Boeing aircraft.

Interest expense totaled $142.5 million and $90.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively. The increase of $52.0 million was primarily due to interest of $59.6 million associated with the debt we assumed with the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio, including $12.3 million of debt discount amortization. This increase was
partially offset by decreases resulting from repayment of debt, a reduction in the notional amounts of the associated derivative instruments and lower interest rates from refinancings completed in 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized total debt extinguishment costs of $7.6 million of which: (i) $4.2 million related to
our re-priced Term Loan and (ii) $3.4 million related to the repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility and debt associated with aircraft that were refinanced or sold in 2012. Approximately $6.5 million of the total debt extinguishment
costs were non-cash charges resulting from write-offs of unamortized loan fees and debt discounts.

Selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses were $40.2 million and $27.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase of $13.0 million is primarily due to: (i) $7.7 million increase in management and servicing
fees paid to BBAM as a result of the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, and (ii) $6.0 million increase in professional fees primarily related to re-marketing of aircraft and debt refinancing. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1
million decrease in share based compensation.

In connection with the repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility, we terminated eleven
swaps associated with the facility and expensed swap breakage costs of $32.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. This expense was partially offset by unrealized gains on our derivatives of $0.3 million resulting from fair market
value changes to our ineffective hedge and dedesignated derivative instruments.

In connection with the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio on
October 14, 2011, we incurred approximately $18.0 million in closing costs during 2011. These expenses included a $12.5 million fee to BBAM LP for arranging the acquisition.

Maintenance and other costs totaled $11.0 million and $4.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $6.6 million. Costs incurred in 2012 included engine
overhauls and technical services incurred in connection with the termination and re-marketing of aircraft. Costs incurred in 2011 included aircraft technical work in connection with the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio.

Our provision for income taxes was $3.9 million and $4.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The resulting
effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 7.5% and 79.5%, respectively. In 2012, a wholly-owned Irish subsidiary recorded a tax benefit for interest that had been accruing on an inter-company note and for which no
taxes had been provided. The interest was paid in 2013 and this deduction could be utilized to offset Irish taxes recognized on the gain from the sale of our 15.0% interest in BBAM LP. In 2011, we (i) recorded Australian taxes on taxable income
from our subsidiaries domiciled in Australia, (ii) did not recognize a deferred tax benefit for non-deductible expenses associated with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, and (iii) recorded U.S. federal and state taxes on our share of
U.S. sourced taxable income resulting from our investment in BBAM LP.

Our consolidated net income was $47.7 million and $1.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $46.6 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, operating lease revenue totaled $230.7 million, an increase of $11.1 million
compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of $33.7 million from the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio and (ii) an increase of $8.5 million from other aircraft purchased in 2011 and
2010. The increases were partially offset by: (i) a decrease of $18.5 million in revenues recognized at end of lease compared to the prior year and (ii) a decrease of $9.8 million from aircraft sold in 2011 and 2010.

Amortization of lease incentives recorded as reduction of operating lease revenue totaled $6.9 million and $5.1 million for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recorded equity earnings from our
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries of $5.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, or an increase of $2.7 million. The increases are primarily due to the recognition of income from BBAM LP for a full year of operations. Fly-Z/C contributed
$0.3 million of income in 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold two aircraft and recognized a gain on sale of $9.1
million. In the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold four aircraft for an aggregate gain on sale of $13.4 million.

During the year
ended December 31, 2010, we sold to an unrelated third party our remaining option to purchase up to $50.0 million principal amount of Notes for 48% of the principal amount and received $12.5 million as consideration.

In connection with the early termination of four leases in a prior period, we reached a settlement with the guarantor of these leases in February 2009.
Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, we received a lump-sum payment of $6.3 million at the settlement date, with an additional $5.9 million to be paid in monthly installments through 2011 with interest at 8.0% per annum. Payments
of $2.1 million and $2.3 million were received during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Interest and other
income totaled $1.2 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2010, Fly received fee income of $1.2 million when it sold its purchase agreement related to one of its aircraft to an unrelated
party.

Depreciation expense during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $95.7 million, compared to $84.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010, an increase of $11.7 million. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio.

During the year
ended December 31, 2011, we recognized aircraft impairment of $7.5 million related to two Boeing 737-500 aircraft which were manufactured in 1992. The aircraft came off lease in 2012.

Interest expense totaled $90.5 million and $75.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively. The increase of $11.7 million was primarily due to (i) interest of $16.1 million associated with the debt we assumed with the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio, including $4.3 million of debt discount amortization, and
(ii) interest of $3.8 million on our other secured aircraft debt. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from repayment of debt and a reduction in the notional amounts of the associated derivative instruments.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $27.2 million and $25.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively. The increase is primarily due to recognition of share-based compensation expense related to the SARs and RSUs issued under our 2010 Plan and an increase in servicing and management fees paid to BBAM as a result of the acquisition
of the GAAM Portfolio. Our selling, general and administrative expenses in 2010 included $2.0 million of fees paid by Babcock & Brown.

In connection with the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio on October 14, 2011, we incurred approximately $18.0 million in closing costs. These expenses
included a $12.5 million fee to BBAM LP for arranging the acquisition.

Maintenance and other costs totaled $4.4 million and $4.7 million
during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million. Costs incurred in 2011 included aircraft technical work in connection with the purchase of the GAAM Portfolio. Aircraft expenses incurred in 2010
included work on aircraft which was on lease to a lessee that filed for bankruptcy protection in 2010.

Our provision for income taxes was
$4.2 million and $10.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The resulting effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 79.5% and 16.3%, respectively. In 2011, we recorded:
(i) Australian taxes on taxable income from our subsidiaries domiciled in Australia, (ii) did not recognize a benefit for non-deductible expenses associated with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio and (iii) recorded U.S. federal
and state taxes on our share of U.S. sourced taxable income resulting from our investment in BBAM LP. In 2010, we recorded U.S. federal and state taxes on our share of U.S. sourced taxable income resulting from our investment in BBAM LP.

Our consolidated net income was $1.1 million and $52.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $51.6
million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sole source of operating cash flows is from distributions made to us by our subsidiaries. Distributions of cash to us by our subsidiaries are subject to compliance with applicable debt covenants.
Substantially all revenue collected during each monthly period from aircraft owned by B&B Air Funding and the aircraft financed in the Nord LB facility are applied to service the outstanding debt, after the payment of certain expenses and other
costs.

Cash Flows of Fly for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

We generated cash from operations of $180.4 million and $110.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase of
$70.1 million is primarily attributable to the operating cash flows from the aircraft acquired in the GAAM Portfolio.

Cash provided by
investing activities was $56.1 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $51.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012, we sold four aircraft and received net cash proceeds of $67.7 million.
We used $50.8 million of cash to purchase four aircraft. In 2011, we received, net cash proceeds of $126.9 million from the sale of two aircraft and used $165.8 million to purchase aircraft, including the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio. Lessor
maintenance contributions totaled $16.6 million and $11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012 we also received $49.5 million of cash proceeds from the sale of our 15.0% investment in BBAM LP. In 2011,
we made a net investment of $28.1 million for a 57.4% limited partnership interest in Fly-Z/C LP. Distributions from unconsolidated subsidiaries totaled $6.3 million in 2012 and were $27.0 million in 2011.

Cash used in financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $155.4 million and $141.1 million, respectively. In 2012,
we made: (i) repayments on our secured borrowings totaling $847.6 million, (ii) a net payment of $35.1 million in connection with the termination of interest rate swaps associated with the repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility
and (iii) dividends and dividend equivalents payments of $22.5 million. These were partially offset by: (i) borrowings of $459.2 million to partially finance the repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility and the acquisition of
aircraft, (ii) $87.3 million net proceeds from the sale of Notes, (iii) use of our restricted cash accounts totaling $160.9 million to repay debt, (iv) net maintenance payment liability receipts of $29.7 million and (v) net
proceeds from issuance of shares of $23.9 million. In 2011, we made: (i) net repayments of $204.9 million of other secured borrowings, (ii) additions to our restricted cash of $21.7 million (iii) dividends and dividend equivalents
payments of $21.1 million and (iv) share repurchases for $13.1 million. These were partially offset by (i) borrowings of $46.6 million, (ii) net maintenance payment liability receipts of $39.0 million, (iii) proceeds of
$33.8 million from the sale of Notes, and (iv) proceeds of $1.4 million from an interest rate swap we terminated.

Cash Flows of Fly for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

We generated cash from operations of $110.3 million and $115.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The decrease of $4.9 million was primarily the result of a decrease in working capital.

Cash from investing activities relate
primarily to the acquisition of aircraft, proceeds from sale of aircraft and lessor maintenance contributions. Cash used in investing activities totaled $51.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to cash provided by investing
activity of $47.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Proceeds received from the sale of two aircraft in 2011, net of maintenance payment liability and security deposits transferred with the aircraft, totaled $126.9 million. Proceeds
received from the sale of four aircraft during 2010, net of maintenance payment liability and security deposits transferred with the aircraft, totaled $100.9 million. In 2011, cash flows used in the purchase of aircraft, including the acquisition of
the GAAM Portfolio, totaled $165.8 million. During 2011, we also made a $28.1 million investment and received distributions of $27.0 million from our unconsolidated subsidiaries. In addition, we paid $11.3 million for lessor contributions to
maintenance in 2011. During 2010, we acquired an aircraft subject to a sale-leaseback agreement for $41.7 million and made an $8.8 million investment in BBAM LP. During 2010, we also paid $4.1 million for lessor contributions to maintenance.

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $141.1 million and $94.4 million,
respectively. In 2011, we: (i) borrowed $46.6 million through new loans, (ii) received proceeds of $33.8 million from the sale of our Notes to third parties, (iii) made principal repayments of $204.9 million on our secured borrowings,
(iv) made additions to our restricted cash accounts totaling $21.7 million, (v) paid dividends of $20.7 million and (vi) repurchased shares totaling $13.1 million During 2010, we: (i) borrowed $29.5 million through new loans,
(ii) received proceeds of $12.5 million from the sale of an option to purchase our Notes, (iii) repurchased shares totaling $35.5 million, (iv) made additions to our restricted cash accounts totaling $25.7 million and (v) paid
dividends of $22.5 million. Movements in security deposits and maintenance payment liabilities were comparable in 2011 and 2010.

Our Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash
on hand and cash generated by our aircraft leasing operations. We have also generated cash from our aircraft sales and in 2012, we received $49.5 million in cash (pre-tax) for the sale of our investment in BBAM LP and $23.9 million from the issuance
of common shares to Summit and Onex. During 2012, we have refinanced substantially all our near-term debt maturities and have no significant balloon payments until 2018. Our business is very capital intensive, requiring significant investment in
order to expand and maintain our fleet. We have a new $250.0 million acquisition facility which combined with our cash on hand will allow us to meet our near term growth objectives. Growth beyond the near term will be funded primarily through
additional borrowings and equity offerings. Our ability to acquire additional aircraft depends significantly on our ability to access bank borrowings and debt and equity capital markets.

Our ability to refinance amounts outstanding under our secured borrowings or to fund acquisitions will depend on a number of factors which includes our historical and expected performance, compliance with
the terms of our debt agreements, industry and market trends and the availability of capital.

In addition to investment in our fleet, our
short-term liquidity needs include working capital for operations, debt service and cash to pay dividends to our shareholders. We have been dependent upon distributions from our subsidiaries to fund our operating expenses and our dividend payments.
All of the free cash flow generated by the aircraft held by B&B Air Funding is applied to service the outstanding balance of the Notes

We
incur corporate operating expenses of approximately $5.0 million per quarter which includes the management fee of $2.5 million. The current quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share requires approximately $6.2 million of cash each quarter. As of
December 31, 2012, our unrestricted cash balance totaled $163.1 million and we expect to receive distributions from our subsidiaries, including those who are party to the Term Loan. We expect that cash on hand and cash flow provided by
operations will satisfy our liquidity needs through at least the next twelve months.

From February 2009 to May 2012, we paid quarterly dividends of $0.20 per share. Commencing August 2012, we paid quarterly
dividends of $0.22 per share, representing a 10% increase in the quarterly dividend. On January 15, 2013, we declared a dividend of $0.22 per share payable on February 20, 2013 to shareholders of record on January 31, 2013. The
declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, cash flows, market conditions, legal requirements and
other factors as our board of directors deem relevant.

Our Board of Directors (the Board) approved certain share repurchase
programs pursuant to which we may make share repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of the repurchases under these programs, as set forth below, may depend on a variety of factors,
including market conditions, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time prior to the expiration date.

|(1) | Includes 1,411,264 shares that were repurchased from Babcock & Brown at $10.50 per share or $14.8 million.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have also made share repurchases outside of these programs. On April 29, 2010, pursuant to a Securities Repurchase Agreement, we repurchased
2,011,265 shares from Babcock & Brown at a price of $8.78 per share or $17.7 million.

On March 8, 2011, we repurchased
1,035,438 of its shares from a third party at a price of $11.93 per share or $12.3 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement.

Note
Purchases and Sale.During 2009 and 2010, we purchased through a wholly-owned subsidiary $169.4 million principal amount of the Notes issued by B&B Air Funding for a purchase price of $83.0 million, including associated expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold to third parties $40.8 million principal amount of Notes held by our subsidiary at an
average price of 82.725% of the principal amount for total proceeds of $33.8 million. As of December 31, 2011 the outstanding balance of the Notes held by us through a wholly-owned subsidiary was $106.8 million. During the first quarter of
2012, the remaining Notes held by us were sold for an average price of 81.79% of the principal amount for total proceeds of $87.3 million.

Maintenance Cash Flows.Under our leases, the lessee is generally responsible for maintenance and repairs, airframe and engine overhauls,
obtaining consents and approvals and compliance with return conditions of aircraft on lease. In connection with the lease of a used aircraft we may agree to contribute specific additional amounts to the cost of certain major overhauls or
modifications, which usually reflect the usage of the aircraft prior to the commencement of the lease. In many cases, we also agree to share with our lessees the cost of compliance with airworthiness directives.

##### Table of Contents

Maintenance reserve payments we collect from our lessees are based on passage of time or usage of the
aircraft measured by hours flown or cycles operated. Under these leases, we are obligated to make reimbursements to the lessee for expenses incurred for certain planned major maintenance, up to a maximum amount that is typically determined based on
maintenance reserves paid by the lessee.

Certain leases also require us to make maintenance contributions for costs associated with certain
major overhauls or certain other modifications in excess of any maintenance payments received. Major maintenance includes heavy airframe, off-wing engine, landing gear and auxiliary power unit overhauls and replacements of engine life limited parts.
Other leases provide for a lease-end adjustment payment based on the usage of the aircraft during the lease term and its condition upon redelivery, with such payments likely to be made by the lessee to us. In some instances, payments may be required
to be made by us to the lessee. We are not obligated to make maintenance reimbursements or contributions under any lease at any time that a lessee default is continuing.

We expect that the aggregate maintenance reserve and lease-end adjustment payments we will receive from lessees will meet the aggregate maintenance contributions and lease-end adjustment payments that we
will be required to make. In 2012, we received $57.9 million of maintenance payments from lessees, made maintenance payment disbursements of $28.2 million and also made maintenance contributions of $16.6 million.

Financing

Securitization

In
October 2007, our subsidiary, B&B Air Funding issued $853.0 million of aircraft lease-backed Class G-1 notes (the Notes). The Notes are direct obligations of B&B Air Funding and are not obligations of, or guaranteed by Fly. In
2009, we repurchased through a wholly-owned subsidiary $169.4 million principal amount of the Notes for $83.0 million. In 2011, we sold $40.8 million principal amount of these repurchased Notes for $33.8 million. In the first quarter of 2012, we
sold the remaining $106.7 million principal amount of Notes for $87.3 million. The resulting discount of $26.4 million is being amortized over the remaining term of the Notes. As a result of this re-issuance, we no longer hold any Notes and the
outstanding principal amount of Notes is $660.4 million as of December 31, 2012, compared to $606.8 million at December 31, 2011.

Interest Rate.The Notes bear interest at an adjustable interest rate equal to the then-current one-month LIBOR plus 0.67%. Interest expense also
includes amounts payable to the policy provider and the liquidity facility provider thereunder, as well as accretion on the Notes re-issued at a discount. Interest and any principal payments due are payable monthly. We have entered into interest
rate swap agreements to mitigate the interest rate fluctuation risk associated with a portion of the Notes.

Payment Terms.Until
August 2012, there were scheduled minimum principal payments of approximately $1.0 million per month, subject to satisfying certain debt service coverage ratios and other covenants. In the event we sell any aircraft, we are required to repay the
Note obligation allocable to the aircraft.

Commencing August 2012, all cash generated from aircraft financed by B&B Air Funding during
each monthly period are being applied to service the outstanding balance of the Notes, after the payment of certain expenses and other costs, including the fees to the Policy Provider, interest and interest rate swap payments in accordance with
those agreements.

Total principal payments made in 2012, including repayments of the Note obligation allocated to the three aircraft we sold
in June 2012, totaled $38.8 million. The final maturity date of the Notes is November 14, 2033.

Redemption.We may, on any
payment date, redeem the Notes by giving the required notices and depositing the necessary funds with the trustee. Redemption prior to acceleration of the Notes may be of the whole or any part of the Notes. Redemption after acceleration of the Notes
upon default may only be for the whole of the Notes.

We may, on any future payment date, redeem the Notes in whole or from time to time in
part for an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

Collateral.The Notes are secured by first priority, perfected security interests in and pledges or assignments of equity ownership and beneficial interests in the subsidiaries of B&B Air
Funding, their interests in the leases of the 37 aircraft they own, cash held by or for them and by their rights under agreements with BBAM, the initial liquidity facility provider, hedge counterparties and the policy provider. Rentals paid under
leases are placed in the collections account and paid out according to a priority of payments set forth in the indenture. The Notes are also secured by a lien or similar interest in any of the aircraft in the Initial Portfolio that are registered in
the United States or Ireland. B&B Air Funding may not encumber the aircraft in our Initial Portfolio with any other liens except the leases and liens created or permitted thereunder, under the indenture or under the security trust agreement.
B&B Air Funding may not incur any indebtedness, except as permitted under the indenture, other than the Notes, any permitted credit and liquidity enhancement facilities and the obligations related to the policy.

##### Table of Contents

Default and Remedies.Events of default include, among other things: interest on the Notes is not
paid on any payment date (after a grace period of five business days) or principal due on the final maturity date is not paid, certain other covenants are not complied with and such noncompliance materially adversely affects the noteholders, B&B
Air Funding or any of its significant subsidiaries becomes the subject of insolvency proceedings or a judgment for the payment of money exceeding five percent of the depreciated base value of the Initial Portfolio is entered and remains unstayed for
a period of time. Following any such default and acceleration of the Notes by the controlling party (initially, the policy provider), the security trustee may, at the direction of the controlling party, exercise such remedies in relation to the
collateral as may be available to it under applicable law, including the sale of any of the aircraft at public or private sale. After the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and insolvency related events of default, or any acceleration of the Notes
after the occurrence of any event of default, all cash generated by B&B Air Funding will be used to prepay the Notes and will not be available to us to make distributions to our shareholders or for any other of our liquidity needs.

Certain Covenants.B&B Air Funding is subject to certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of the
aircraft as set forth in the indenture. The indenture also contains certain conditions and constraints which relate to the servicing and management of the Initial Portfolio including covenants relating to the disposition of aircraft, lease
concentration limits restrictions on the acquisition of additional aircraft and restrictions on the modification of aircraft and capital expenditures as described below.



| |  |  | Aircraft Dispositions.Pursuant to the indenture, B&B Air Funding may only sell additional aircraft with the consent of the policy
provider.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Concentration Limits.B&B Air Funding may only enter into a future lease (other than a renewal, extension or restructuring of any
lease) if, after entering into such future lease, B&B Air Funding is in compliance with certain criteria in respect of limits based on, among other things, the proportion of our portfolio leased to any single lessee, the regional concentration
of our lessees and the sovereign ratings of the countries in which our lessees are located. B&B Air Funding will be permitted to vary from these limits if B&B Air Funding receives a confirmation from Moodys that it will not lower,
qualify or withdraw its ratings on the notes as a result of such lease and the policy provider consents to such lease. These limits may place limits on B&B Air Fundings ability (absent a third-party consent) to re-lease the aircraft in our
Initial Portfolio to certain customers at certain times, even if to do so would provide the best risk-adjusted cash flow and would be within our risk policies then in effect.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leases.When re-leasing any aircraft, B&B Air Funding must do so in accordance with certain core lease provisions set forth in the
Indenture. The core lease provisions include, but are not limited to, maintenance, return conditions in respect of the aircraft, lease termination events and prohibitions on the assignments of the leases. These core lease provisions may not be
amended without the consent of the policy provider.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Modification of Aircraft and Capital Expenditures.B&B Air Funding is generally not permitted to make capital expenditures in respect
of any optional improvement or modification of an aircraft in the Initial Portfolio, including aircraft conversions from passenger to cargo aircraft, or for the purpose of purchasing or otherwise acquiring any engines or parts outside of the
ordinary course of business. However, B&B Air Funding may make capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business in connection with an existing or new lease or the sale of an aircraft, and capital expenditures where: (1) conversions
or modifications are funded by capital contributions from us, (2) modification payments are made and the aggregate net cash cost does not exceed 5% of the aggregate initial average base value of the Initial Portfolio (other than modification
payments funded, with capital contributions from us) or (3) modification payments permitted under the servicing agreement that do not require the express prior written approval of B&B Air Funding. Subject to certain conditions set forth in
the indenture, B&B Air Funding is also permitted to use funds available to make scheduled principal payments on the Notes and amounts available for distributions to us for the purpose of converting passenger aircraft in the Initial Portfolio to
freighter or mixed use configuration.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other Covenants.The Indenture contains other covenants customary for a securitization, including covenants that restrict the investment

| |  |  | Servicer Termination Events.BBAM may be terminated as the servicer of the Securitization in certain circumstances including: the
bankruptcy or insolvency of BBAM LP; BBAM LP ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the Servicer; Summit ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 33.33% of the partnership interests in BBAM LP; provided that a sale that
results in such ownership being at a level below 33.33% shall not constitute a servicer termination event if the sale is to a publicly listed entity or other person with a net worth of at least $100 million; and 50% or more of the Servicers
key finance and legal team or technical and marketing team cease to be employed by BBAM LP and are not replaced with employees with reasonably comparable experience within 90 days.

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2012, B&B Air Funding was not in default under the Notes.

In conjunction with the completion of the Securitization, B&B Air Funding, the cash manager and BNP Paribas, entered into the Note Liquidity Facility
for the benefit of the holders of the Notes. The aggregate amounts available under the Note Liquidity Facility will be at any date of determination, the lesser of (a) $60.0 million and (b) the greater of (i) the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of Notes and (ii) $35.0 million. Advances may be drawn to cover certain expenses of B&B Air Funding, including maintenance expenses, interest rate swap payments and interest on the notes issued under the
indenture. Prior to any drawing on the Note Liquidity Facility, the cash reserve will be drawn in full. Upon each drawing under the Note Liquidity Facility, B&B Air Funding is required to reimburse the provider of the Note Liquidity Facility for
the amount of such drawing plus accrued interest on such drawing in accordance with the order of priority specified in the indenture prior to making any dividend payments to us. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a downgrade of the
provider of the Note Liquidity Facility below a certain ratings threshold, the Note Liquidity Facility will be drawn in full and the proceeds will be deposited in an account established under the indenture and will be available for the same purposes
as drawings under the Note Liquidity Facility. Drawings under the initial Note Liquidity Facility bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.2%. B&B Air Funding was also required to pay an upfront fee of $360,000 at closing and a
commitment fee of 40 basis points on each payment date to the provider of the Note Liquidity Facility.

Our obligations under the Note
Liquidity Facility are secured under the security trust agreement on the same basis as other indebtedness of B&B Air Funding.

Aircraft Acquisition Facility

In November 2007, our subsidiary, B&B Air
Acquisition entered into a credit facility that provided for aircraft financing (B&B Air Acquisition Facility). The facility was funded in two tranches, Tranche A and B. Tranche A was senior to Tranche B. Borrowings under the B&B
Air Acquisition Facility incurred interest at a rate based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins for Tranche A and B were 1.50% per annum and 4.00% per annum, respectively.

On August 9, 2012, the B&B Air Acquisition Facility, which financed 16 aircraft at that time, was repaid with proceeds from a new Term Loan (see
below) and approximately $122.5 million of our cash. In connection with the early repayment of the facility, $2.5 million of accrued interest was waived by the lenders.

Nord LB Facility

In connection with 19 of the 49 aircraft acquired in the GAAM
Portfolio, our subsidiaries assumed a debt facility (the Nord LB Facility) provided by Norddeutsche Landesbank Gironzentrale (Nord LB). The Nord LB Facility was structured as a single loan facility pursuant to which one of
our subsidiaries is the borrower. On February 6, 2012, we completed an extension of the Nord LB Facility to November 2018. We paid $25.0 million to Nord LB which was applied towards repayment of outstanding principal amounts on
February 14, 2012. At the beginning of the extension term on November 14, 2012, we made an additional principal payment of $15.0 million to Nord LB.

From February 6, 2012 until November 14, 2012, we paid Nord LB a fee equal to 0.45% per annum, or $1.9 million, based on the amount outstanding on November 14, 2012.

We have also amended the loan structure of the Nord LB Facility so that it consists of individual loans with each aircraft owning subsidiary acting as
the borrower of its respective loan. Borrowings are secured by our equity interest in the subsidiaries which own the financed aircraft, the related leases, maintenance reserves and other deposits. The loans are cross-collateralized and contain
cross-default provisions.

As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance under the Nord LB Facility was $508.9 million.

Interest Rate. Commencing November 14, 2012, the loans under the Nord LB Facility bear interest at one month LIBOR plus 3.30% until the
final maturity date of November 14, 2018. To mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we have entered into interest rate swap arrangements. The blended weighted average interest rate for the Nord LB Facility was 4.14% as of
December 31, 2012, excluding the debt discount amortization.

Payment Terms.Until November 2012, there were monthly
scheduled principal payments of approximately $2.3 million per month. Commencing December 2012:



| |  |  | We will pay 95% of lease rentals actually received in the corresponding monthly collections period towards interest and principal. If no lease rental
payments are received in the applicable period for any financed aircraft, prior to the termination of such lease, no payment is due under the loan related to that aircraft on the corresponding repayment date. Any unpaid interest increases the
outstanding borrowing.

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Upon the termination or expiration of a lease, no payments are due under the Nord LB Facility with respect to the outstanding loan amount for that
aircraft until the earlier of six months from the termination or expiration or the date the aircraft is re-leased. Interest during this period increases the outstanding borrowing. If an aircraft remains off-lease after six months from the
termination or expiration, interest must be paid on each payment date. If an aircraft remains off-lease after twelve months, we must pay debt service equal to 85% of the lease rate paid under the prior lease agreement. The lenders may foreclose on
an aircraft that remains off-lease after 24 months, but the lenders may not foreclose on any other aircraft.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the event that we sell any of the financed aircraft, substantially all sales proceeds (after payment of certain expenses) must be used to repay
first the debt associated with the sold aircraft and then the outstanding amounts which finance the other aircraft unless certain conditions are met. In addition, any maintenance reserve amounts which are retained and are not expected to be required
for future maintenance will be used to prepay the Nord LB Facility. If after full repayment of the facility, we have earned a 10% return on our equity investment, we will pay Nord LB a fee equal to 10% (capped at $5 million) of our returns in
excess of 10%. In November 2012, we sold an aircraft financed under the Nord Facility and paid off the associated debt of $20.6 million and wrote off $0.8 million of unamortized discount associated with the debt.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collateral.Borrowings are secured by our equity interest in the subsidiaries which own the 19 financed aircraft, the aircraft and the
leases, maintenance reserves and other deposits. The loans are cross-collateralized and the lenders may foreclose on any aircraft upon an event of default on any loan.

Default and Remedies.An event of default with respect to the loan on any aircraft will trigger an event of default on the loans with respect to every other financed aircraft. Events of
default under the Nord LB Facility include, among other things:



| |  |  | interest or principal is not paid within three business days of its due date,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to make certain other payments under the Nord LB Facility and such payments are not made within five business days of receiving written notice,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to maintain required insurance levels,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to comply with certain other covenants, including compliance with required insurance levels and such noncompliance continuing for 30 days after
receipt of written notice,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the aircraft owning entities becoming the subject of insolvency proceedings,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the aircraft owning entities defaults in respect of obligations in excess of $10,000,000. And holders of such obligation accelerate or demand
repayment of amounts due thereunder.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 2012, there was no default under the Nord LB Facility.

Certain Covenants.The Nord LB Facility does not contain any financial covenants. However, the borrowers in the Nord LB Facility
are subject to certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of the aircraft owned by them. The Nord LB Facility also contains certain conditions and constraints which relate to the servicing and management of
the financed aircraft, including covenants relating to the disposition of aircraft and future leasing of the aircraft.



| |  |  | Aircraft Dispositions.Our ability to sell aircraft is limited by the terms of the Nord LB Facility. Any aircraft sales require
lender consent unless certain conditions are met, including a minimum sales price equal to 100% of appraised value or 107% of the applicable loan amount depending on the type of aircraft to be sold.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leases. We cannot waive any lease defaults or terminate any leases without lender consent. In addition, if requested by the lender,
we must terminate defaulted leases. Follow-on leases also require lender consent unless certain criteria, including minimum lease rental amounts, are met.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other Covenants.The Nord LB Facility contains other customary covenants for the aircraft owning subsidiaries which are the borrowers
under the facility, including covenants that restrict the investment and business activities of these entities, maintain the special purpose and bankruptcy remoteness characteristics of these entities, limit the amount and type of debt, guarantees
or other indebtedness that can be assumed by these entities, restrict the ability to grant liens or other encumbrances on the financed aircraft, require the maintenance of certain insurance and limit the ability of these entities to consolidate or
transfer assets or to enter into certain kinds of contracts, including certain hedging arrangements.

| |  |  | Servicer Termination Events.Under the terms of the Nord LB Facility, BBAM may be terminated as the servicer upon the occurrence of
certain events of default under the loan agreement.

BOS Facility

In connection with 21 of the 49 acquired aircraft in the GAAM Portfolio, our subsidiaries assumed a debt facility provided by Bank of Scotland plc and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (BOS
Facility). At December 31, 2012, 11 aircraft in the GAAM Portfolio remained financed through this facility. The BOS Facility consists of individual loans with respect to each financed aircraft which have maturity dates matching
the scheduled lease termination dates for the financed aircraft. The loan maturity dates range from 2013 to 2017. Each loan may consist of a senior and junior tranche. The loans are cross-collateralized and lenders may require payment in full
or foreclose on any aircraft in this facility in the event of a default.

As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance under the BOS
Facility was $275.5 million.

Interest Rate. Borrowings under the BOS Facility bear interest based on one-month LIBOR plus an
applicable margin of 1.43% for the senior tranche and 2.70% for the junior tranche. The weighted average interest rate on loans associated with aircraft with fixed rate leases was 5.88% for the senior tranche and 7.39% for the junior tranche. The
weighted average interest rate on loans associated with aircraft with floating rate leases was 1.64% for the senior tranche and 2.91% for the junior tranche. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding amounts was 5.18% as of
December 31, 2012, excluding the debt discount amortization. As of December 31, 2012, interest accrued on the facility totaled $0.4 million.

Payment Terms.We make scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest on each loan in accordance with a fixed amortization schedule. In addition, we are required to prepay the loan on an
aircraft upon the termination of the lease on the aircraft or on the sale of an aircraft. Upon a lease termination or expiration, we may elect to extend the loan maturity date for up to six months, during which interest (but no principal) is
payable. If we re-lease the aircraft during this six month period with the consent of the facility agent, the loan will be extended. If we are unable to re-lease the aircraft on terms acceptable to the lenders or sell the aircraft, the loan becomes
due and payable at the end of this six month period.

If any lessee fails to make a payment of rent on a financed aircraft, we may pay the
interest and principal due under the loan from our own funds on four successive occasions or on any six occasions. If a lease event of default continues and we are no longer permitted to make such payments, the lenders may instruct us to terminate
the relevant lease agreement and we would be required to re-pay the loan subject to the six month remarketing period described above.

Collateral.Borrowings are secured by our equity interest in the subsidiaries which own the financed aircraft, the aircraft and the leases,
maintenance reserves and other deposits. If, upon the repayment of any loan, the BOS facility finances eight or fewer aircraft or the number of different lessees to whom the aircraft are leased is three or fewer and the ratio of the total principal
outstanding under the BOS Facility to the aggregate appraised value of the aircraft is greater than 80%, we will be required to pay an amount as is required to reduce this ratio to 80% into a collateral account.

Default and Remedies.Events of default under the BOS Facility include, among other things:



| |  |  | failure to make any payments due under the BOS Facility within five business days,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to comply with certain other covenants and such noncompliance continues for 15 or 30 days after receipt of written notice,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the borrower entities becoming the subject of insolvency proceedings,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the occurrence of any event of default under the hedging arrangements related to the loans, and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the borrower entities ceasing to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Fly.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 2012, there was no default under the BOS Facility.

Certain Covenants.There are no financial covenants in the BOS Facility. However, the borrowers in the BOS Facility are subject to certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance,
registration and insurance of the aircraft owned by them. The BOS Facility also contains certain conditions and constraints which relate to the servicing and management of the financed aircraft, including covenants relating to the disposition of
aircraft and future leasing of the aircraft.



| |  |  | Aircraft Dispositions.Our ability to sell aircraft is limited by the terms of the BOS Facility. Any aircraft sale prior to lease
termination requires lender consent. Aircraft sales during the six month remarketing period after lease expiration or termination do not require lender consent if the sales price is equal to the amounts outstanding under the loan, including
expenses.

Term Loan

On
August 9, 2012, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we entered into a $395.0 million senior secured term loan that matures in 2018 with a consortium of lenders. The Term Loan was originally issued at an offering price of 96% of par value, or a
discount of $15.8 million.

Debt proceeds of $266.7 million, along with approximately $122.5 million of our cash, were applied towards full
repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility which financed 16 aircraft. We received the remaining proceeds of $112.5 million as seven additional aircraft, which were previously financed in the BOS Facility, were delivered into the Term
Loan. These proceeds were applied towards full repayment of debt outstanding in the BOS Facility in respect of these seven aircraft, as well as associated break costs.

Interest Rate. The Term Loan bore interest at an adjustable interest rate equal to one month LIBOR plus a margin of 5.50%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. On December 18, 2012, we re-priced
the Term Loan to reduce the interest rate margin by 1.00% to 4.50%. In conjunction with the re-pricing, we paid the lenders a one-time prepayment penalty of 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount which totaled $3.9 million.

Payment Terms.The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the original loan amount. The aggregate principal amount
outstanding as measured on a quarterly basis must not exceed 67.5% of the lower of the mean or median of half-life adjusted base value of the financed aircraft as determined by three independent appraisers (LTV Maintenance Test). As of
December 31, 2012, there has been no breach of the LTV Maintenance Test. We are required to seek new appraisals semi-annually.

Until
December 2013, the Term Loan can be prepaid in part or in whole for an amount equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount being repaid. Beginning December 2013, the Term Loan can be prepaid in part or in whole for an amount equal to 100%
of the outstanding principal amount being repaid.

Collateral.Borrowings are secured by our equity interests in the aircraft owning
and/or leasing subsidiaries, the aircraft and related leases and other deposits. The loan is fully guaranteed by Fly on recourse basis.

The
Term Loan contains certain concentration limits with respect to types of aircraft which can be financed in the Term Loan, as well as geographic and single lessee concentration limits. These concentration limits apply upon the sale, removal or
substitution of an aircraft.

Default and Remedies.Events of default under the Term Loan include, among other things:



| |  |  | failure to make any principal payments due or any interest payments due within three business days;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any representation, warranty or certification made which is proven to be materially incorrect and continues unremedied for 30 days after receipt of
written notice;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to comply with certain other covenants and such noncompliance continues for 60 days after receipt of written notice;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the aircraft owning entities defaults in respect of obligations in excess of $50,000,000 and holders of such obligation accelerate or demand
repayment of amounts due thereunder;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the borrower entities becoming the subject of insolvency proceedings.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 2012, there was no default under the Term Loan.

Certain Covenants.There are no financial covenants in the Term Loan. However, the subsidiaries are subject to certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of
the aircraft owned by them. The Term Loan also contains certain conditions and constraints which relate to the servicing and management of the financed aircraft, including covenants relating to the disposition and leasing of aircraft.

Fly Acquisition II Facility

On November 7, 2012, our subsidiary, Fly
Acquisition II Limited, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and several other lenders (Fly Acquisition II Facility). The Fly Acquisition II Facility provides for loans
in an aggregate amount of up to $250.0 million for an availability period of two years followed by a three year term. Borrowings under the Fly Acquisition II Facility will be used to finance the acquisition of additional aircraft which may not be
more than eight years of age at the time of such funding. All borrowings under the Fly Acquisition II Facility are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the administrative agents consent, including the absence of a continuing
default and the accuracy of representations and warranties.

Availability. The Fly Acquisition II Facility has an availability period
that ends on November 7, 2014. The outstanding aggregate amount of loans cannot exceed the sum of (x) the aggregate borrowing base of all aircraft and (y) if there is an event of default in respect of the borrowing base or if certain
concentration criteria are not met at the end of the availability period, then 50% of maintenance reserves paid with respect to the aircraft and pledged to the lenders. The borrowing base for each aircraft in the portfolio is equal to 72.5% of the
lower of the (x) purchase price depreciated on a straight line basis assuming a 25-year useful life of the aircraft and (y) the lower of the CMV or BV appraisal.

During the availability period, Fly Acquisition II may re-borrow on amounts repaid to the lenders. As of December 31, 2012, we have not drawn on the Fly Acquisition II Facility.

Commitment Fees.Fly Acquisition II will pay a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on a monthly basis to each lender on the undrawn amount of
their commitment which accrues during the availability period. However, prior to financing the acquisition of the first aircraft, such commitment fee will accrue and only be payable on the earlier of the first acquisition or May 15, 2013.

Principal Payments. During the availability period, Fly Acquisition II is required to make monthly principal payments equal to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans less 72.5% of the aggregate purchase price of the aircraft depreciated on a straight line basis assuming a 25-year useful life of the aircraft.

Fly Acquisition II may make voluntary prepayments under the Fly Acquisition II Facility. In addition, Fly Acquisition II is required to make partial
prepayments with any proceeds for the sale of aircraft and all insurance and other proceeds received with respect to any event of total loss of an aircraft under the Fly Acquisition II Facility.

Interest. Borrowings under the Fly Acquisition II Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus an applicable
margin. The applicable margin for the first two years will be 3.75% and increased to 4.25%, 4.75% and 5.25%, respectively, for each consecutive year during the term.

Collateral. Borrowings are secured by the beneficial interests in Fly Acquisition II and each of its subsidiaries, the aircraft and related leases, certain cash collateral and other deposits. In
addition, Fly Acquisition II is required to maintain cash collateral equal to 2% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loans. If there is an event of default in respect of the borrowing base or if certain concentration criteria are
not met at the end of the availability period, all of the maintenance reserves in respect of the financed aircraft will be pledged to the lenders. Upon the occurrence of an event of default in respect of the borrowing base, Fly Acquisition II will
be required to pledge to the lenders all maintenance reserves deemed to have been received in respect of the financed aircraft prior to such event of default.

Certain Covenants. Fly Acquisition II is subject to certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of the acquired aircraft as well as the servicing and
management of such aircraft, including maintaining certain lease concentration limits and the disposition of aircraft as further described below.



| |  |  | Aircraft Dispositions. During the availability period, for the sale of any aircraft, Fly Acquisition II must receive sale proceeds at
least equal to the allocated debt associated with such aircraft. For any sale of aircraft following the availability period, Fly Acquisition II must receive sale proceeds at least equal to 110% of the allocated debt associated with such aircraft.

Other Secured Aircraft Borrowings

In addition to the debt financings described
above, we have entered into and may periodically enter into secured, non-recourse debt to finance the acquisition of aircraft. These borrowings finance the acquisition of one or more aircraft and are usually structured as individual loans which are
secured by pledges of our rights, title and interest in the financed aircraft and leases. To the extent that multiple aircraft are financed within a single facility, the loans in that facility are cross-collateralized and the lenders may require
payment in full or foreclose on any aircraft upon an event of default on any loan.

The maturity date on each loan matches the corresponding
lease expiration date. We make scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest on each loan in accordance with a fixed amortization schedule. These loans all contain customary covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of
the financed aircraft, as well as restrictions on our activities, including investments and other activities of the borrowers and restrictions on the granting of liens or other security interests in the aircraft. None of these loans include any
financial covenants. These loans also contain certain conditions and restrictions which relate to the servicing and management of the financed aircraft, including covenants relating to the disposition of aircraft and re-leasing of the aircraft.

Other aircraft secured debt borrowings include: (i) three loans financing nine aircraft that were acquired as part of the GAAM
Portfolio, (ii) three loans that were arranged in connection with the re-lease of three aircraft from the GAAM Portfolio and (iii) eight loans that were arranged in connection with the purchase of additional aircraft. As of
December 31, 2012, the total principal outstanding pursuant to these loans was $280.4 million, with interest rates ranging from 1.82% to 7.20%. These loans mature on the scheduled lease termination dates for the financed aircraft, with maturity
dates ranging from December 2013 to February 2019.

Capital Expenditures

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired four aircraft comprised of two Boeing 737-700 and two Boeing 737-800 aircraft. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired 49
aircraft in the GAAM Portfolio and three Boeing 737-800 aircraft. We made one aircraft acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2010. On February 9, 2011, we invested in a newly formed aircraft leasing joint venture that was formed
for the purpose of acquiring, financing, leasing and eventually selling four commercial jet aircraft. We hold a 57.4% interest in the joint venture.

In addition to acquisitions of aircraft and other aviation assets, we expect to make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with improvements to our aircraft. These expenditures include the
cost of major overhauls and modifications. As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average age of the aircraft in our portfolio was 9.4 years. In general, the costs of operating an aircraft, including capital expenditures, increase with the age
of the aircraft.

Inflation

The effects of inflation on our operating expenses have been minimal. We do not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the
current economic environment.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We receive a substantial portion of our revenue in U.S. Dollars, and we pay substantially all of our expenses in U.S. Dollars. However, we incur some of our expenses in other currencies, primarily the
Euro, and we have entered into leases under which we receive a portion of the lease payments in Euros and Australian dollars. To mitigate the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations associated with these leases, we entered into foreign currency
derivative transactions. Depreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies increases the U.S. Dollar cost to us of paying such expenses. The portion of our business conducted in other currencies could increase in
the future, which could expand our exposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations. Because we currently receive substantially all of our revenue in U.S. Dollars and pay substantially all of our expenses in U.S. Dollars, a change in foreign
exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations.

stock options; and (iv) other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2012, we had made all permitted grants under the 2010 Plan.

SARs entitle the holder to receive any increase in value between the grant date price of Flys ADSs and their value on the exercise date. RSUs
entitle the holder to receive a number of Flys ADSs equal to the number of RSUs awarded upon vesting. The SARs and RSUs granted in 2010 vest in three equal installments on the last day of the sixth, 18th and 30th month following the date of
grant, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The SARs and RSUs granted in 2011 and 2012 vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. The Company settles SARs and RSUs with newly

each dividend equivalent right, the holder shall have the right to receive a cash amount equal to the per share dividend paid by the Company during the period between the grant date and the earlier of the (i) award exercise date,
(ii) termination date or the (iii) expiration date. Dividend equivalent rights expire at the same time and in the same proportion that the SARs and RSUs are either exercised, canceled, forfeited or expired. Dividend equivalent rights are

action in relation to the acquisition, disposition or management of any aircraft or other aviation asset and require that within a reasonable period of time our Manager either make or decline to make a recommendation with respect thereto.

The Manager shall also ensure that the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Fly are aware of the proposed
salaries, bonuses, equity grants and other compensation arrangements for the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and, at the reasonable request of the Compensation Committee, other senior BBAM employees who devote substantial time to
the Company (Senior Executives), and allow the Compensation Committee to participate in the discussion of such proposed arrangements for each Senior Executive, before such proposed arrangements are finalized by the Manager or its
affiliates.

Appointment of Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer

Although our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are employees of our Manager (or an affiliate of our Manager), they
serve us in such corporate capacities by appointment by our board of directors. The management agreement acknowledges that our board may terminate our chief executive officer or chief financial officer without our Managers consent. The
management agreement provides that if there is a vacancy in such position for any reason, then our Manager will recommend a candidate to serve as replacement chief executive officer or chief financial officer. If our board of directors does not
appoint the initial candidate proposed by our Manager to fill such vacancy, then our Manager will be required to recommend one or more further candidates until our board appoints a candidate recommended by our Manager for such vacancy.

Restrictions and Duties

Our Manager has agreed that it will use reasonable care and diligence and act honestly and in good faith at all times in the performance of the services under the management agreement. We refer to the
foregoing standard as the standard of care required under the management agreement.

Under the management agreement, our Manager
may not, without our boards prior consent:

connection with all such transactions during any quarter would exceed $500 million;

non-affiliated persons are deemed not to be related matters for purposes of this provision.

Relationship of Management
Agreement and Servicing Agreements

To the extent that BBAM is entitled to exercise any authority, enter into any transaction or take
any action on our behalf pursuant to any of our servicing agreements or administrative agency agreements, such servicing agreement or administrative agency agreement shall govern such exercise of authority, transaction or authority in the event of a
conflict between the management agreement and such servicing agreement or administrative agency agreement.

Board
Appointees

Pursuant to the management agreement and our bye-laws, for so long as Fly Leasing Management Co. Limited holds any of our

on our board of directors are not required to stand for election by our shareholders other than by our Manager.

Our Managers board
appointees do not receive any cash compensation from us (other than out-of-pocket expenses) and do not have any special voting rights. The appointees of our Manager shall not participate in discussions regarding, or vote on, any related-party
transaction in which any affiliate of our Manager has an interest. Our independent directors are responsible for approving any such related-party transactions.

Fees and Expenses

Pursuant to the management agreement, we pay our Manager the fees

Management and Administrative Services

Base and Rent Fees. In respect of the aircraft in our Initial Portfolio and any other aircraft we may acquire that will be held
by B&B Air Funding or any of its subsidiaries or any other subsidiary we establish for the purpose of entering into an aircraft securitization financing, we pay our Manager:



| |  |  | a base fee of $150,000 per month per subsidiary we establish for the purpose of entering into an aircraft securitization financing, which will increase
by 0.01% of the maintenance-adjusted base value (at the time of acquisition) of each additional aircraft acquired beyond the Initial Portfolio, in the case of B&B Air Funding, or beyond the initial portfolio of aircraft financed with the
proceeds of the applicable aircraft securitization financing (the amount of the base fee will be subject to adjustment as set forth below under  Fees and Expenses  Adjusting the Base Fees and Administrative Agency Fees); and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | a rent fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of basic rent due for all or any part of a month for any of such aircraft plus 1.0% of the aggregate
amount of basic rent actually paid for all or any part of a month for any of such aircraft.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the
base and rent fees we incurred and payable to the Manager were approximately $3.8 million, $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively. However, this entire amount was offset by servicing fees paid to BBAM pursuant to our servicing agreements. See
 Fees and Expenses  Credit for Servicing Fees Paid.

Until August 9, 2012, we paid our Manager a fee equal to
3.5% of the aggregate amount of basic rent actually collected for all or any part of a month for all aircraft held by B&B Air Acquisition. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the rent fees we incurred and that were payable to the Manager were approximately
$1.5 million, $2.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Origination and Disposition Fees and Change of Control Fees.We generally
pay our Manager a fee for each acquisition or sale of aircraft or other aviation assets equal to 1.5% of the gross acquisition cost in respect of acquisitions or the aggregate gross proceeds in respect of dispositions. However, with respect to the
GAAM Portfolio, we agreed to pay our Manager a one-time acquisition fee of $12.5 million (approximately 0.9% of the $1.4 billion value of the GAAM Portfolio). In addition, we will pay the Manager a disposition fee equal to 2% of the gross proceeds
in respect of the disposition of any of the aircraft in the GAAM Portfolio on or prior to October 14, 2013 if the gross proceeds on such disposition exceed the net book value of such aircraft. The disposition fee payable on any aircraft in the
GAAM Portfolio after October 14, 2013 will be 1.5% of aggregate gross proceeds on such disposition. We also pay our Manager a fee of 1.5% of the aggregate gross consideration received in respect of any change of control of our company, which
includes the acquisition of more than 50% of our common shares or the acquisition of all or substantially all of our assets.

In 2012, we paid
our Manager origination fees of $0.9 million in connection with the acquisition of four additional aircraft. In 2011, we paid our Manager origination fees of $1.5 million in connection with the acquisition of three additional aircraft. In 2010, an
origination fee of $0.6 million was incurred in connection with the purchase of one aircraft.

In 2012, we paid our Manager disposition fees
of $1.2 million for the sale of four aircraft. Disposition fees of $2.1 million were incurred in 2011 in connection with the sale of two aircraft. Disposition fees of $1.6 million were incurred in 2010 in connection with the sale of four aircraft.

Administrative Agency Fees.We pay to our Manager an administrative agency fee equal to $750,000 per annum for each aircraft
securitization financing (the amount of the administrative agency fee for each aircraft securitization financing we establish will be subject to adjustment as set forth below under  Fees and Expenses  Adjusting the Base Fees and
Administrative Agency Fees). In 2012, 2011 and 2010, we paid the Manager administrative agency fees totaling $0.8 million in respect of each year, but this amount was credited toward servicing fees paid pursuant to the Servicing Agreement
between B&B Air Funding and BBAM.

Until August 9, 2012, our Manager was entitled to an administrative fee from B&B Air
Acquisition of $240,000 per annum. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, we paid the Manager administrative agency fees totaling $0.2 million in respect of each year, but this amount was credited toward servicing fees paid pursuant to the Servicing Agreement
between B&B Air Acquisition and BBAM.

Adjusting the Base Fees and Administrative Agency Fees.The amount of the base fee payable
and the amount of the administrative agency fee payable for each aircraft securitization financing we establish will be increased (but not decreased) annually by the percentage movement (if any) in the CPI index applicable for the previous calendar
year.

Ancillary Management and Administrative Services.

We pay to our Manager such additional fees for any ancillary management and administrative services provided by our Manager to us from time to time as we
and our Manager agree to before the ancillary management and administrative services are provided. We did not pay any ancillary management and administrative services fee to our Manager in 2010, 2009 or 2008.

Credit for Servicing Fees Paid

Base fees and rent fees paid to BBAM under our servicing agreements and administrative services fees paid to our Manager under the administrative services agreements are credited toward (and thereby
reduce) the base and rent fees payable to our Manager as described above under  Fees and Expenses  Management and Administrative Services  Base and Fees and  Fees and Expenses  Administrative Agency
Fees. Similarly, sales fees paid to BBAM under our servicing agreements in respect of aircraft dispositions are credited toward (and thereby reduce) the fee payable to our Manager in connection with dispositions as described above under
 Fees and Expenses  Origination and Disposition Services. See Servicing Agreements  Servicing Fees.

Break Fees

by our Manager on behalf of us in the transaction to which the fee relates) in connection with any investment or proposed investment to be made by us in any aircraft or other aviation assets. We did not pay any break fees to our Manager in 2012,

Acting in Interests of Shareholders

shareholders. If there is a conflict between our shareholders interests and our Managers interests, our Manager shall give priority to our shareholders interests.

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

B&B Air Funding  Servicing Agreement

The servicing agreement between B&B Air
Funding and BBAM provides that we pay to BBAM:



| |  |  | a base fee of $150,000 per month, which will increase by 0.01% of the maintenance-adjusted base value (at the time of acquisition) of each additional

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | a rent fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of basic rent due for all or any part of a month for any aircraft belonging to our Initial Portfolio,
plus 1.0% of the aggregate amount of basic rent actually paid for all or any part of a month for any such aircraft.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In
2012, 2011 and 2010, we paid BBAM servicing fees totaling $3.8 million, $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

BBAM is also entitled to
additional servicing fees consisting of a sales fee for each sale of an aircraft equal to 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds in respect of dispositions of aircraft assets. In 2012, we paid additional servicing fees to BBAM of $0.7 million in
connection with the sale of three aircraft. In 2011, we paid additional servicing fees to BBAM of $0.6 million in connection with the sale of one aircraft. In 2010, we paid additional servicing fees to BBAM totaling $1.6 million in connection with
the sale of four aircraft.

The agreement may be terminated in the case of certain events, including BBAM LP ceasing to own at least 50% of
the voting or economic interest in our Servicer or if we cease to own at least 5% of BBAM LP. If either of the above servicer termination events occurs, B&B Air Funding, with the prior consent of the policy provider under the Securitization (or
the policy provider alone, if an event of default under the Securitization indenture has occurred and is continuing) may substitute BBAM with a replacement servicer upon receipt of a rating agency confirmation from each rating agency. A servicer
termination event under the Servicing Agreement does not give rise to an event of default under the Securitization indenture.

In addition to
the servicing agreement described above, B&B Air Funding has entered into an administrative services agreement with our Manager to act as its administrative agent and to perform various administrative services, including maintaining its books
and records, procuring and supervising legal counsel, accounting, tax and other advisers. In consideration for such services, B&B Air Funding pays the administrative agent an annual fee of $750,000, subject to increases tied to a cost of living
index, and will reimburse it for its expenses. For each of 2012, 2011, and 2010, we incurred administrative services fees totaling $0.8 million.

B&B Air Acquisition  Servicing Agreement

Until August 9, 2012, B&B Air
Acquisition paid BBAM a servicing fee of $20,000 per month plus 3.5% of the monthly rents actually collected. In addition, BBAM received a sales fee equal to 1.5% of the cash proceeds collected with respect to the sale of any aircraft. In connection
with the repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility, the servicing agreement with BBAM was terminated on August 9, 2012. Fees paid to BBAM pursuant to this servicing agreement in 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $1.7 million, $3.0 million
and $3.1 million, respectively.

Term Loan and Fly Acquisition II Facility  Servicing Agreements

Under the Term Loan and Fly Acquisition II Facility, each of our servicing agreements with BBAM provide that we pay BBAM:



| |  |  | A fee equal to 3.5% of the monthly rents actually collected;

| |  |  | A fee equal to 1.5% of the gross consideration collected with respect to any sale of the subject aircraft.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Other Aircraft Acquired  Servicing Agreement

We have entered into servicing agreements with affiliates of BBAM with respect to the acquisition of other aircraft including the GAAM Portfolio. Under the terms of these servicing agreements, we will pay
the servicers:



| |  |  | A fee equal to 3.5% of the monthly rents actually collected; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An administrative fee of $1,000 per month per aircraft.

These servicing agreements can generally be terminated by us in the case of a material breach by the servicer that is not cured within 30 days of written notice, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
servicer or if the servicer ceases to be actively involved in the aircraft leasing business. Some servicing agreements require the consent of the lender providing financing for the acquisition of the relevant aircraft prior to termination. It is our
intention to enter into substantially similar servicing agreements with respect to all future aircraft we acquire.

Rental and administrative
fees paid to BBAM pursuant to these servicing agreements in 2012 and 2011 amounted to $8.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The rental and agency fees paid to BBAM pursuant to these servicing agreements in 2010 were insignificant.

In 2012, a disposition fee of $0.4 million was paid to BBAM in connection with the sale of an aircraft.

|ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION
|------- | ---------------------

Consolidated
statements and other financial information.

See Item 18 below for information regarding our consolidated financial statements and
additional information required to be disclosed under this Item. No significant changes have occurred since the date of the annual financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Legal Proceedings

We have not been involved in any legal proceedings that may have, or
have had, a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. We are not aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened that may have a material effect on our business, financial position, results
of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally claims relating to incidents involving aircraft and claims involving the existence or breach of a lease,
sale or purchase contract. We expect the claims related to incidents involving our aircraft would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductions. However, these claims could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial
resources, even if they lack merit and if determined adversely to us and not covered by insurance could result in significant uninsured losses.

Dividend

The table below shows the
quarterly dividends we have paid and the total cash requirement for each dividend payment.

On January 15, 2013, we declared a dividend of $0.22 per share or approximately $6.2 million payable on
February 20, 2013 to shareholders of record at January 31, 2013.

We may not be able to pay future dividends at the current level or
at all, if, among other things, we do not have sufficient cash to pay the intended dividends or if our financial performance does not achieve expected results. To the extent that we do not have sufficient cash to pay dividends, we do not intend to
borrow funds to pay dividends.

The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares will be at the discretion of
our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, cash flows, legal requirements and other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

As a Bermuda company, our ability to pay dividends is subject to certain restrictions imposed by Bermuda law.

Taxation

Irish Tax Considerations

The following discussion reflects the material Irish tax consequences applicable to both Irish and Non-Irish Holders (as defined below) of the
acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares. This discussion is based on Irish tax law, statutes, treaties, regulations, rulings and decisions all as of the date of this Annual Report. Taxation laws are subject to change, from time to time,
and no representation is or can be made as to whether such laws will change, to what impact, if any, such changes will have on the summary contained in this Annual Report. Proposed amendments may not be enacted as proposed, and legislative or
judicial changes, as well as changes in administrative practice, may modify or change statements expressed herein.

This summary is of a
general nature only. It does not constitute legal or tax advice nor does it discuss all aspects of Irish taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder of our shares. The Irish tax treatment of a holder of our shares may vary depending upon
such holders particular situation, and holders or prospective purchasers of our shares are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the Irish or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares.

For the purposes of this summary of Irish tax considerations:



| |  |  | An Irish Holder is a holder of our shares that (1) beneficially owns our shares by virtue of holding the related ADSs evidenced by the
relevant American Depositary Receipt or ADR; (2) in the case of individual holders, is resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland under Irish taxation laws; and (3) in the case of a holder that is a company, is resident in Ireland under
Irish taxation laws and is not also a resident of any other country under any double taxation agreement entered into by Ireland.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A Non-Irish Holder is a holder of our shares that is not an Irish Holder and has never been an Irish Holder.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A US Holder is a holder of our shares that: (1) beneficially owns our shares by virtue of holding the related ADSs evidenced by the
relevant ADR; (2) is a resident of the United States for the purposes of the Ireland/United States Double Taxation Convention; (3) in the case of an individual holder, is not also resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish

Irish Dividend Withholding Tax

Dividends that we pay on our shares generally are subject to a 20% dividend withholding tax, or DWT. DWT may not apply where an exemption is permitted by
legislation or treaty and where all necessary documentation has been submitted to the ADS depository prior to the payment of the dividend.

Irish Holders.Individual Irish Holders are subject to DWT on any dividend payments that we make. Corporate Irish Holders will generally be
entitled to claim an exemption from DWT by delivering a declaration to us in the form prescribed by the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

Non-Irish Holders.Shareholders who are individuals resident in a Relevant Territory and who are not resident or ordinarily resident in
Ireland may receive dividends free from DWT where the shareholder has provided the ADS depository with the relevant declaration and residency certificate required by Irish legislation. Corporate shareholders that are not resident in Ireland and

Territory; or

| |  |  | whose principal class of shares or the principal class of shares of whose 75% or greater parents are substantially and regularly traded on a recognized
stock exchange in a Relevant Territory; or which are wholly owned by two or more companies, each of whose principal class of shares are substantially and regularly traded on a recognized stock exchange in a Relevant Territory
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

may receive dividends free from DWT where they provide the ADS depository with the relevant documentation required by Irish
law.

Income Tax

Irish
and Non-Irish Holders

Irish Holders.Individual Irish Holders are subject to income tax on the gross amount of any
dividend (i.e., the amount of the dividend received plus any DWT withheld), at their marginal rate of tax (currently either 20% or 41% depending on the individuals circumstances). Individual Irish Holders will be able to claim a credit
against their resulting income tax liability in respect of any DWT. Individual Irish Holders may, depending on their circumstances, be subject to the Universal Social Chargewith effect from 1 January 2011. The Universal Social Charge will apply
to all income where an individual has income in excess of 10,036 . The Universal Social Charge is charged at three different rates: 2% on the first 10,036; 4% on the next 5,980; and 7% on the aggregate income in excess of
16,016. Currently, individual Irish Holders may also, depending on their circumstances, be subject to Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) contributions of up to 4% in respect of dividend income.

Corporate Irish Holders generally will not be subject to Irish tax in respect of dividends received.

Non-Irish Holders.Non-Irish Holders will not have an Irish income tax liability on dividends from us if the shareholder is neither
resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland and is:

Taxation of Capital Gains

Irish Holders.Irish Holders that acquire shares will generally be considered, for Irish tax purposes, to have acquired their shares at a base cost equal to the amount paid for shares. On
subsequent dispositions, shares acquired at an earlier time will generally be deemed, for Irish tax purposes, to be disposed of on a first in first out basis before shares acquired at a later time. Irish Holders that dispose of their
shares will be subject to Irish capital gains tax (CGT) to the extent that the proceeds realized from such disposition exceed the base cost of the common shares or ADSs disposed of and any incidental expenses. Disposals made on or after
6 December 2012 are subject to CGT at 33%. Unutilized capital losses from other sources generally can be used to reduce gains realized on the disposal of our shares.

An annual exemption allows individuals to realize chargeable gains of up to 1,270 in each tax year without giving rise to CGT. This exemption is specific to the individual and cannot be transferred
between spouses. Irish Holders are required, under Irelands self-assessment system, to file a tax return reporting any chargeable gains arising to them in a particular tax year. When disposal proceeds are received in a currency other than euro
they must be translated into euro amounts to calculate the amount of any chargeable gain or loss. Similarly, acquisition costs denominated in a currency other than the euro must be translated at the date of acquisition to euro amounts. Irish Holders
that realize a loss on the disposition of our shares generally will be entitled to offset such allowable losses against capital gains realized from other sources in determining their CGT liability in a year. Allowable losses which remain unrelieved
in a year generally may be carried forward indefinitely for CGT purposes and applied against capital gains in future years. Transfers between spouses will not give rise to any chargeable gain or loss for CGT purposes.

Non-Irish Holders.A person who is not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland is not subject to Irish capital gains tax on the disposal
of our shares.

Irish Capital Acquisitions Tax

A gift or inheritance of our shares will be within the charge to capital acquisitions tax (CAT) where the donor/deceased or the beneficiary is resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland at the date of the
gift/inheritance or to the extent that the property of which the gift or inheritance consists is situated in Ireland at the relevant date. Special rules with regard to residence apply where an individual is not domiciled in Ireland. CAT is charged
at a flat rate of 33% for gifts or inheritances taken on or after 6 December 2012 and there are various thresholds before the tax becomes applicable. Gifts and inheritances between spouses are not subject to capital acquisitions tax.

The Estate Tax Convention between Ireland and the United States generally provides for Irish CAT paid on inheritances in Ireland to be
credited, in whole or in part, against tax payable in the United States, in the case where an inheritance of shares is subject to both Irish CAT and US federal estate tax. The Estate Tax Convention does not apply to Irish CAT paid on gifts.

Irish Stamp Duty

No
Irish stamp or capital duty shall apply to the issuance of the common shares. Transfers of the common shares would not ordinarily be subject to Irish stamp duty, unless the transfer was related to Irish property or any matter or thing done or to be
done in Ireland. Transfers of ADSs are exempt from Irish stamp duty when the ADSs are dealt in on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ National Market or any recognized stock exchange in the United States or Canada and the transfer does not relate to
Irish property or any matter or thing done or to be done in Ireland.

Irish Corporation Tax

In general, Irish-resident companies pay corporation tax at the rate of 12.5% on trading income and 25% on non-trading income. Fly and its
Irish-tax-resident subsidiaries intend to conduct business so that they carry on a trading business for Irish tax purposes. Non-trading income, including certain categories of interest income, will be subject to corporation tax at the rate of 25.0%.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general discussion of the U.S. federal income taxation of us and of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the shares by U.S. Holders (as
defined below) and information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below). It is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), issued and proposed
income tax regulations (Treasury Regulations) promulgated thereunder, legislative history, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing
interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). In addition, the application and interpretation of certain aspects of the passive foreign investment company (PFIC) rules, referred to below, require the issuance of regulations which
in many instances have not been promulgated and which may have retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that any of these regulations will be enacted or promulgated, and if so, the form they will take or the effect that they may have on this
discussion. This discussion is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the courts. This summary does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws, and does
not purport to address all of the U.S. federal income tax

consequences applicable to us or to all categories of investors, some of whom may be subject to special rules including, without limitation, dealers in securities, commodities, or foreign
currencies, financial institutions or financial services entities, insurance companies, holders of shares held as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale, conversion transaction, or
other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons who have elected mark-to-market accounting, persons who have not acquired their shares
upon their original issuance, or in exchange for consideration other than cash, persons who hold their shares through a partnership or other entity which is a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons for whom a share is
not a capital asset, and persons holding, directly indirectly or constructively, 5% or more of our ADSs or underlying shares. The tax consequences of an investment in our shares will depend not only on the nature of our operations and the
then-applicable U.S. federal tax principles, but also on certain factual determinations that cannot be made at this time, and upon a particular investors individual circumstances. No rulings have been or will be sought from the IRS regarding
any matter discussed herein.

For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. Holder is (1) a citizen or resident of the United
States; (2) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; (3) an estate the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4) a trust which (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. A Non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of our shares that is not a U.S. Holder and who, in addition,
is not (1) a partnership or other fiscally transparent entity; (2) an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year who meets certain other conditions; or (3) subject to rules applicable to certain
expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States. This summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase the shares. This
summary does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, locality or taxing jurisdiction other than the United States. For U.S. tax purposes holders of our ADSs are treated as if they hold the underlying common shares
represented by the ADSs.

Taxation of U.S. Holders of Shares

We expect that we will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year and future taxable years and that U.S. Holders of shares will be subject to the PFIC rules, as
summarized below. However, no assurance can be given that we will or will not be considered a PFIC in the current or future years. The determination whether or not we are a PFIC is a factual determination that is made annually based on the types of
income we earn and the value of our assets, and because certain aspects of the PFIC rules are not entirely certain, there can be no assurance that we are or are not a PFIC or that the IRS will agree with our conclusion regarding our PFIC status. If
we are currently or were to become a PFIC, U.S. Holders of shares would be subject to special rules and a variety of potentially adverse tax consequences under the Code.

Tax Consequences of PFIC Status.The Code provides special rules regarding certain distributions received by U.S. persons with respect to, and sales, exchanges and other dispositions, including
pledges, of shares of stock in a PFIC. We will be treated as a PFIC if (i) 75% or more of our gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of our assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive income in a taxable year,
based on a quarterly average and generally by value, including our pro rata share of the gross income or assets of any company, U.S. or foreign, in which we are considered to own directly or indirectly 25% or more of the shares by value. Passive
income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, gains from commodities and securities transactions, and gains from assets that produce passive income. Assuming we are a PFIC, our dividends will
not qualify for the reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax that applies to qualified dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders. Thus, dividends (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be taxed at the rate applicable to ordinary
income of the U.S. Holder.

Assuming we are a PFIC, U.S. Holders of our shares will be subject to different taxation rules with respect to an
investment in our shares depending on whether they elect to treat us as a qualified electing fund, or a QEF, with respect to their investment in our shares. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder
owns our shares (and if we comply with certain reporting requirements, which we have done and intend to do), then such U.S. Holder will be required for each taxable year to include in income a pro rata share of our ordinary earnings as ordinary
income and a pro rata share of our net capital gain as long-term capital gain, subject to a separate voluntary election to defer payment of taxes, which deferral is subject to an interest charge. If a QEF election is made, U.S. Holders will not be
taxed again on our distributions, which will be treated as return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, distributions will reduce the U.S. Holders basis in our shares and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be
treated as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.

U.S. Holders may, instead of making a QEF election, make a
mark-to-market election, recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year an amount equal to the difference, as of the close of the taxable year, between the fair market value of the shares and the U.S.



69

##### Table of Contents

Holders adjusted tax basis in the shares. Losses would be allowed only to the extent of net mark-to-market gain previously included by the U.S. Holder under the election for prior taxable
years. If the mark-to-market election were made, then the rules set forth below would not apply for periods covered by the election. The U.S. Holders basis in the shares will be adjusted to reflect the amounts included or deducted pursuant to
the election. A mark-to-market election is only available if our shares meet trading volume requirements on qualifying exchange.

Because we
are a PFIC, if a U.S. Holder does not make a QEF election or mark-to-market election, then the following special rules will apply:



| |  |  | Excess distributions by us to a U.S. Holder would be taxed in a special way. Excess distributions are amounts received by a U.S. Holder
with respect to our shares in any taxable year that exceed 125% of the average distributions received by such U.S. Holder from us in the shorter of either the three previous years or such U.S. Holders holding period for shares before the
present taxable year. Excess distributions must be allocated ratably to each day that a U.S. Holder has held our shares. A U.S. Holder must include amounts allocated to the current taxable year in its gross income as ordinary income for that year. A
U.S. Holder must pay tax on amounts allocated to each prior taxable year in which we were a PFIC at the highest rate in effect for that year on ordinary income and the tax is subject to an interest charge at the rate applicable to deficiencies for
income tax. The preferential U.S. federal income tax rates for dividends and long-term capital gain of individual U.S. Holders (as well as certain trusts and estates) would not apply, and special rates would apply for calculating the amount of the
foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The entire amount of gain realized by a U.S. Holder upon the sale or other disposition of shares will also be treated as an excess distribution and
will be subject to tax as described above.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The tax basis in shares that were acquired from a decedent who was a U.S. Holder would not receive a step-up to fair market value as of the date of the
decedents death but would instead be equal to the decedents basis, if lower than fair market value.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a
corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds shares in the corporation, then the corporation generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holders shares, even if the corporation no
longer satisfies either the passive income or passive assets test described above, unless the U.S. Holder terminates this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain, which will be taxed under the excess distribution rules as if such shares had
been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which the corporation was a PFIC.

The QEF election is made on a
shareholder-by-shareholder basis and can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A shareholder makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return or, if not required to file an income
tax return, by filing such form with the IRS. Even if a QEF election is not made, a shareholder in a PFIC who is a U.S. Holder must file a completed IRS Form 8621 every year. We have provided and intend to continue to provide U.S. Holders with all
necessary information to enable them to make QEF elections as described above. If any subsidiary is not subject to an election to be treated as a disregarded entity or partnership for U.S. tax purposes then a QEF election would have to be made for
each such subsidiary.

You should consult your tax advisor about the PFIC rules, including the advisability of making a QEF election or
mark-to-market election.

In addition, a U.S. Holder that is an individual (and, to the extent provided in future regulations, an entity), may
be subject to recently-enacted reporting obligations with respect to shares and if the aggregate value of these and certain other specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000. If required, this disclosure is made by filing Form
8938 with the IRS. Significant penalties can apply if holders are required to make this disclosure and fail to do so. In addition, a U.S. Holder should consider the possible obligation to file a Form TD F 90-22.1Foreign Bank and Financial
Accounts Report as a result of holding shares. Holders are thus encouraged to consult their U.S. tax advisors with respect to these and other reporting requirements that may apply to their acquisition of shares.

Taxation of the Disposition of Shares. A U.S. Holder that has made a QEF election for the first year of its holding period will recognize capital
gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. Holders basis in the shares, which is usually the cost of such shares (as adjusted to take into account any QEF inclusion, which increases the basis of such shares, and any
distribution, which decreases the basis of such shares) and the amount realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares. If, as anticipated, the shares are publicly traded, a disposition of shares will be considered to occur on the
trade date, regardless of the U.S. Holders method of accounting. If a QEF election has been made, capital gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares held more than one year is long-term capital gain and is eligible
for a maximum 15% rate of taxation for non-corporate U.S. Holders.

Medicare Tax

Legislation enacted in 2010 requires certain U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on all or part of that U.S. Holders net investment income,
which includes, among other items, dividends on, and capital gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, the shares, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. This surtax applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of the Equity Shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding for U.S. Holders

Dividend payments made
within the United States with respect to the shares, and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of shares, may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however,
to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. Generally, a U.S. Holder will provide such certification on IRS Form W-9 (Request
for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification).

Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against a U.S.
Holders tax liability, and a U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amount withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding for Non-U. S. Holders

Information reporting to the United States and backup withholding to the IRS generally would not be required for dividends paid on our shares or proceeds received upon the sale, exchange or redemption of
our shares to Non-U.S. Holders who hold or sell our shares through the non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. related broker or financial institution. Information reporting and backup withholding may apply if shares are held by a Non-U.S. Holder through a
U.S., or U.S.-related, broker or financial institution, or the U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker or financial institution and the Non-U.S. Holder fails to establish an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding by certifying such
holders status on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable.

The IRS may make information reported to you and the IRS available
under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax
liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished by you to the IRS. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the filing of a U.S. tax return for claiming a refund of any such backup withholding. Non-U.S. Holders
should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

Taxation of Fly and Our Subsidiaries

Although Flys income is primarily subject to corporate tax in Ireland, part of our income is also subject to taxation in the United States, France
and Australia.

Unless otherwise exempted by an applicable income tax treaty, a non-U.S. corporation that is directly or through agents
engaged in a trade or business in the United States is generally subject to U.S. federal income taxation, at the graduated tax rates applicable to U.S. corporations, on the portion of such non-U.S. corporations income that is effectively
connected with such trade or business. In addition, such a non-U.S. corporation may be subject to the U.S. federal branch profits tax on the portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits constituting dividend
equivalent amounts at a rate of 30%, or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In addition non-U.S. corporations that earn certain U.S. source income not connected with a U.S. trade or business can be
subject to a 30% withholding tax on such gross income unless they are entitled to a reduction or elimination of such tax by an applicable treaty. Furthermore, even if a non-U.S. corporation is not engaged in a U.S. trade of business, certain U.S.
source gross transportation income (which includes rental income from aircraft that fly to and from the United States) is subject to a 4% gross transportation tax in the United States unless a statutory or treaty exemption applies.

We expect that we and our Irish tax resident subsidiaries will be entitled to claim the benefits of the Irish Treaty. Accordingly, even if we
earn income that otherwise would be subject to tax in the United States, such income is expected to be exempt from U.S. tax under the Irish Treaty to the extent that it is: (1) rental income attributable to aircraft used in international
traffic; (2) gain from the sale of aircraft used in international traffic; or (3) U.S. source business profits (which includes rental income from, and gains attributable to, aircraft operated in U.S. domestic service) not connected with a
U.S. permanent establishment. For this purpose, international traffic means transportation except where flights are solely between places within the United States. We also expect that we will not be treated as having a U.S. permanent
establishment. Thus we do not believe that we will be subject to taxation in the United States on any of our aircraft rental income or gains from the sale of aircraft.

We had a 15% investment in BBAM LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership which wholly owned
subsidiaries in the United States, Ireland, Bermuda, U.K., Singapore, Japan, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands. The U.S. subsidiaries were classified as disregarded entities and not were subject to entity level taxes for U.S. tax purposes. We
received an allocated share of income, deductions and credits from BBAM LP and our share of the U.S. effectively connected income was subject to U.S. federal taxes and, as applicable, state and local taxes.

In 2011, we made a 57.41% investment in Fly-Z/C Aircraft Holdings LP, a US partnership incorporated in Delaware. The partnership wholly owns an Irish
company, Fly-Z/C Aircraft Limited. Fly-Z/C Aircraft Holdings LP and Fly-Z/C Aircraft Limited are not expected to have a deemed U.S. trade or business subject to tax on effectively connected income or a U.S. permanent establishment subject to tax on
business profits under Article 7. Fly-Z/C Aircraft Limited is expected to be a qualified resident under the U.S. and Ireland tax treaty.

Effectively connected taxable income means the taxable income of the partnership which is effectively connected (or treated as effectively connected)
with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

No assurances can be given, however, that we will continue to qualify each year
for the benefits of the Irish Treaty or that we will not in the future be treated as maintaining a permanent establishment in the United States or having income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States. In order for us and our subsidiaries to be eligible for the benefits of the Irish Treaty for a particular fiscal year, we must each satisfy the requirements of Article 23 (Limitation on Benefits) of the Irish Treaty for that fiscal year. We
will be eligible for the benefits of the Irish Treaty if the principal class of our shares is substantially and regularly traded on one or more recognized stock exchanges. Our shares will be considered substantially and regularly traded on one or
more recognized stock exchanges in a fiscal year if: (1) trades in such shares are effected on such stock exchanges in more than de minimis quantities during every quarter; and (2) the aggregate number of shares traded on such stock
exchanges during the previous fiscal year is at least 6% of the average number of shares outstanding during that taxable year. We satisfied this requirement for each of the years since our inception. If our shares cease to be treated as regularly
traded, then we may no longer be eligible for the benefits of the Irish Treaty. Our subsidiaries that are Irish tax-resident will be eligible for benefits under the Irish Treaty if we hold, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the vote and value
of the subsidiary and we meet the regularly traded test described above.

If we or any subsidiary were not entitled to the benefits of the
Irish Treaty, any income that we or that subsidiary earns that is treated as effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States, either directly or through agents, would be subject to tax in the United States at a rate of 35%. In
addition, we or that subsidiary would be subject to the U.S. federal branch profits tax at a rate of 30% on its effectively connected earnings and profits, considered distributed from the U.S. business. In addition, if we did not qualify for Irish
Treaty benefits, certain U.S. source rental income not connected with a U.S. trade or business could be subject to withholding tax of 30% and certain U.S. source gross transportation income could be subject to a 4% gross transportation tax if an
exemption did not apply.

Bermuda Tax Considerations

We are incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. At the present time, there is no Bermuda income or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax
payable by us or by our shareholders in respect of our shares. We have obtained an assurance from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 that, in the event that any legislation is enacted in
Bermuda imposing any tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, such tax shall not, until March 31, 2035, be applicable to us or to any
of our operations or to our shares, debentures or other obligations except insofar as such tax applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or is payable by us in respect of real property owned or leased by us in Bermuda.



|ITEM 11. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in
the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our
control. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates. Our primary interest rate exposures relate to our lease agreements and our floating rate debt obligations such as
the Notes, the Term Loan and other borrowings. As of December 31, 2012, 92 out of our 103 lease agreements require the payment of a fixed amount of rent during the term of the lease, with rent under the remaining 11 leases varying based on
LIBOR. Our indebtedness will require payments based on a variable interest rate index such as LIBOR. Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income by increasing the cost of our debt without any corresponding proportional increase
in rents or cash flow from our leases.

##### Table of Contents

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the interest rate fluctuation risk associated
with our debt. We expect that these interest rate swaps will significantly reduce the additional interest expense that would be caused by an increase in variable interest rates.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following discussion about the potential effects of changes in
interest rates is based on a sensitivity analysis, which models the effects of hypothetical interest rate shifts on our financial condition and results of operations. A sensitivity analysis is constrained by several factors, including the necessity
to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and by the inability to include the extraordinarily complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts. Although the following results of a sensitivity analysis for
changes in interest rates may have some limited use as a benchmark, they should not be viewed as a forecast. This forward-looking disclosure also is selective in nature and addresses only the potential impacts on our financial instruments and our
variable rate leases. It does not include a variety of other potential factors that could affect our business as a result of changes in interest rates.

Assuming we do not hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease in our variable interest rates would have increased or decreased our interest
expense by $23.2 million, and would have increased or decreased our revenues by $2.1 million on an annualized basis.

The fair market value of
our interest rate swaps is affected by changes in interest rates and credit risk of the parties to the swap. We determine the fair value of our derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates an assessment of the risk of
non-performance by the swap counterparty and an evaluation of Flys credit risk in valuing derivative liabilities. The valuation model uses various inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, credit spreads and measures of
volatility. Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of a provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2012, the fair market value of our interest rate swap derivative
liabilities, excluding accrued interest, was $49.0 million. A 100 basis-point increase or decrease in interest rate would increase or reduce the fair market value of our derivative liabilities by approximately $30.6 million or $29.9 million,
respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have leases pursuant to which we receive part of the lease payments in Euros or Australian dollars. We have entered into foreign currency hedging transactions related to these leases. Because of our
swap agreements, changes in the foreign currency exchange would not have a material impact on our cash flows.

American Depositary Shares

Fees and Expenses

We pay all fees, charges and expenses of the depositary, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the Depositary) and any agent of the Depositary
pursuant to agreements from time to time between us and the Depositary, except that if a holder elects to withdraw the common shares underlying their American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, from the Depositary they will be required to pay the
Depositary a fee of up to US$5.00 per 100 ADSs surrendered or any portion thereof, together with expenses incurred by the Depositary and any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, in connection with the withdrawal.

We will not receive any portion of the fee payable to the Depositary upon a withdrawal of shares from the Depositary. The Depositary will not
make any payments to us, and we will not receive any portion of any fees collected by the Depositary.

Dividends and
Other Distributions

The Depositary has agreed to pay holders of ADRs the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian
receives on common shares or other deposited securities, less any fees for withholding taxes, duties and other governmental charges. Dividends on our shares are subject to deduction of Irish withholding taxes, unless an exemption to withholding is
available. U.S. holders of ADSs (including U.S. citizens or residents) are entitled to claim a refund of Irish withholding taxes on dividends. Unless a U.S. holder of ADSs otherwise specifies, a customary fee of $0.003 per ADS will be deducted from
each dividend paid to such holder so that such dividend may be paid gross of Irish withholding taxes.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 using the framework and criteria established in Internal
Control  Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of

(c) Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Fly
Leasing Limited

We have audited Fly Leasing Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on
criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Fly Leasing Limiteds management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Fly Leasing Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2012, based on the COSO criteria.

The New York Stock
Exchange requires companies with listed shares to comply with its corporate governance standards. As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with all of the rules that apply to listed U.S. companies. However, we have generally chosen
to comply with the New York Stock Exchanges corporate governance rules as though we were a U.S. company. Accordingly, we do not believe there are any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those that would
typically apply to a U.S. domestic issuer under the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

and
Shareholders of Fly Leasing Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fly Leasing Limited as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Fly Leasing
Limited at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Fly Leasing
Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our
report dated March 15, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Fly Leasing Limited

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2012

1. ORGANIZATION

Fly Leasing Limited (the Company or Fly) is a Bermuda exempted company that was incorporated on May 3,
2007, under the provisions of Section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. The Company was formed to acquire, finance, lease and sell commercial jet aircraft and other aviation assets directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries.

Although the Company is organized under the laws of Bermuda, it is a resident of Ireland for tax purposes and is subject to Irish corporation
tax on its income in the same way, and to the same extent, as if the Company were organized under the laws of Ireland.

In accordance with the
Companys amended and restated bye-laws, Fly issued 100 shares (Manager Shares) with a par value of $0.001 to Fly Leasing Management Co. Limited (formerly Babcock & Brown Air Management Co. Limited, the Manager)
for no consideration. Subject to the provisions of the Companys amended and restated bye-laws, the Manager Shares have the right to appoint the nearest whole number of directors to the Company which is not more than 3/7th of the number of
directors comprising the board of directors. The Manager Shares are not entitled to receive any dividends, are not convertible into common shares and, except as provided for in the Companys amended and restated bye-laws, have no voting rights.

On April 29, 2010, the management team of the Companys manager and servicer, through Summit Aviation Partners LLC
(Summit) purchased substantially all of the aviation assets of Babcock & Brown and its affiliates, including Babcock & Browns ownership interests in the Manager and certain other companies that manage and service
Fly and its aircraft portfolio (the Aviation Assets Purchase Transaction).

On April 29, 2010, the Company through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Fly-BBAM Holdings, Ltd. (Fly-BBAM), purchased a 15% interest in BBAM Limited Partnership (BBAM LP), a newly formed, privately-held aircraft leasing and management business for $8.75 million. Summit
owned the remaining 85% interest in BBAM LP. On December 28, 2012, the Company sold its 15% interest in BBAM LP for $49.5 million to Onex Corporation and its affiliate (collectively, Onex). Concurrently with the closing of this
transaction, Onex and Summit purchased 2,191,060 newly issued common shares of the Company for an aggregate of $25.0 million or $11.41 per share. BBAM LP provides management and administrative services to Fly, including servicing of its aircraft
portfolio.

GAAM PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION

On October 14, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 49 aircraft and other assets (GAAM Portfolio) valued at approximately $1.4 billion and managed by Global
Aviation Asset Management (GAAM). The purchase was funded with approximately $141.7 million of the Companys unrestricted cash and the assumption of approximately $1.2 billion of secured, non-recourse debt. The Company incurred
approximately $18.0 million in expenses in connection with the acquisition. These expenses include a one-time $12.5 million fee to BBAM LP for arranging the acquisition.

The acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio was accounted for as a business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The
fair value of flight equipment acquired was determined using the market approach. In the aviation industry, appraisal data is considered to reflect the highest and best use of the flight equipment on an in use basis. The estimated fair
value of GAAMs flight equipment was recorded based on (i) appraisal data, (ii) managements assessment of current market conditions and recent trading activity of similar aircraft, (iii) the current and long-term demand for
each aircraft type, and (iv) the required maintenance condition of the underlying flight equipment upon redelivery to the lessor. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on available market data and
assumptions made by management. Intangible assets, consisting of lease discounts and premiums, are amortized over the remaining life of the lease. The fair value of the debt assumed on the GAAM Portfolio has been determined based on the income
approach resulting in a discount totaling $52.1 million. The income approach was performed through the use of a net present value calculation using an appropriate discount rate.

The Company recognized a deferred tax item arising from temporary differences between the tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities, and acquisition date fair values.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Fly is a holding company that conducts its business through its subsidiaries. The Company directly or indirectly owns all of the common shares of its
consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements presented are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fly and all of
its subsidiaries. In instances where it is the primary beneficiary, Fly would consolidate a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements are stated
in U.S. Dollars, which is the principal operating currency of the Company.

The Company has one operating and reportable segment which is
aircraft leasing.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. The use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, deferred tax assets and accruals and reserves. To the extent available, the Company utilizes industry
specific resources, third-party appraisers and other materials to support managements estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite managements best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could
differ from those estimates.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company encounters several types of risk during the course of its business, including credit and market risks. Credit risk addresses a lessees or derivative counterpartys inability or
unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects the change in the value of derivatives and credit facilities due to changes in interest rate spreads or other market factors, including the value of collateral underlying
the Companys credit facilities.

Other types of risk encountered by the Company include the following:



| |  |  | The success of the Company is dependent on the performance of the commercial aviation industry. A downturn in the industry could adversely impact the
lessees ability to make payments, increase the risk of unscheduled lease terminations and depress lease rates and the value of the Companys aircraft.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company will require access to the debt and equity markets to refinance its outstanding indebtedness and to grow its business through the
acquisition of additional aircraft.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company relies and is dependent upon an external servicer to manage its business and service its aircraft portfolio.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Pursuant to certain of the Companys debt facilities, payments received from lessees serve as collateral to the lenders and are thus subject to
withdrawal restrictions. The Companys restricted cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of (i) security deposits and certain maintenance payments received from lessees under the terms of various lease agreements, (ii) a portion
of rents collected which may be required to be held as cash collateral and (iii) other cash, which may be subject to withdrawal restrictions pursuant to the Companys credit agreements as further described in Note 6.

All restricted cash is held by major financial institutions in segregated accounts.

RENT RECEIVABLES

Rent receivables represent unpaid lessee obligations under existing lease contracts. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is established on a specific identification basis and is maintained at a level
believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in rent receivables. The assessment of credit risk is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held, the financial strength and
condition of a debtor and the current economic and regulatory conditions of the debtors operating environment. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of
expected future cash flows and consideration of current factors and economic trends impacting the lessees and its credit worthiness, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Uncollectible rent receivables are charged off against the
allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for credit losses is recorded based on managements periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent
factors. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts, although the Company had two lessees on non-accrual status as of these dates. The Company recognizes revenue from the two lessees when cash is
received.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

Fly has a 57.4% interest in Fly-Z/C Aircraft Holdings LP (Fly-Z/C LP). On December 28, 2012, Fly sold its 15.0% interest in BBAM LP to
Onex.

Fly accounts for its interest in unconsolidated subsidiaries using the equity method as the Company does not control the entities.
Under the equity method, the Companys investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying amount is affected by its share of the unconsolidated subsidiaries undistributed earnings and losses, and distributions of dividends and
capital.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its investment in the unconsolidated subsidiaries, or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. If its investment is determined to be impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, a loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying
value is recorded in the period of identification.

##### Table of Contents

FLIGHT EQUIPMENT HELD FOR SALE

In accordance with guidance provided by FASB, flight equipment is classified as held for sale when the Company commits to and commences a plan of sale that is reasonably expected to be completed within
one year. Flight equipment held for sale is stated as the lesser of carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell.

Flight
equipment held for sale is not depreciated. Subsequent changes to the assets fair value, either increases or decreases, are recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the flight equipment. However, any such adjustment will not exceed the
original carrying value of the flight equipment held for sale. There was no flight equipment held for sale as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

FLIGHT EQUIPMENT HELD FOR OPERATING LEASES

Flight equipment held for operating leases are recorded at cost and depreciated to estimated residual values on a straight-line basis over their estimated
remaining useful lives. Useful life is generally 25 years from the date of manufacture. Residual values are generally estimated to be 15% of original manufacturers estimated realized price for the flight equipment when new. Management may, at
its discretion, make exceptions to this policy on a case by case basis when, in its judgment, the residual value calculated pursuant to this policy does not appear to reflect current expectations of residual values. Examples of such situations
include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | Flight equipment where original manufacturers prices are not relevant due to plane modifications and conversions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Flight equipment which is out of production and may have a shorter useful life or lower residual value due to obsolescence.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The remaining life of a converted freighter is determined based on the date of conversion, in which case, the total useful life may extend beyond 25
years from the date of manufacture.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated residual values and useful lives of flight equipment are reviewed and
adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period.

Major improvements to be performed by the Company pursuant to the lease agreement are
accounted for as lease incentives and are amortized against revenue over the term of the lease, assuming no lease renewals. Lessee specific modifications to the aircraft are capitalized and also amortized against revenue over the term of the lease.
Generally, lessees are required to provide for repairs, scheduled maintenance and overhauls during the lease term and to be compliant with return conditions of flight equipment at lease termination.

Major improvements and modifications incurred for an aircraft that is off-lease are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the flight
equipment. In addition, costs paid by us for scheduled maintenance and overhauls are also capitalized and depreciated over a period to the next scheduled maintenance or overhaul event. Miscellaneous repairs are expensed when incurred.

At the time of an aircraft acquisition, the Company evaluates whether the lease acquired with the aircraft is at fair market value by comparing the
contractual lease rates to the range of current lease rates of like aircraft. A lease premium is recognized when it is determined that the acquired leases terms are above market value; lease discounts are recognized when it is determined that
the acquired leases terms are below fair market value. Lease discounts are capitalized into other liabilities and accreted as additional rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease premiums are capitalized into other
assets and amortized against rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

IMPAIRMENT OF FLIGHT EQUIPMENT

The Company evaluates flight equipment for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. The
Companys evaluation of impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, recent transactions for similar aircraft, adverse changes in market conditions for specific aircraft types, third party appraisals of specific aircraft, published
values for similar aircraft, any occurrences of adverse changes in the aviation industry and the overall market conditions that could impact the fair value of our aircraft. The review for recoverability includes an assessment of the estimated future
cash flows associated with the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will assess whether the
carrying values of the flight equipment exceed the fair values and an impairment loss is required. The undiscounted cash flows consist of cash flows from currently contracted leases, future projected lease rates, transition costs, estimated down
time and estimated residual or scrap values for an aircraft. The impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. See Note 16  Fair Value Measurements.

Future cash flows are assumed to occur under current market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing and able buyer and a willing
seller. Expected future lease rates are based on all relevant information available, including the existing lease, current contracted rates for similar aircraft, appraisal data and industry trends. Residual value assumptions generally reflect an
aircrafts salvage value, except where more recent industry information indicates a different value is appropriate.

##### Table of Contents

The preparation of these impairment analyses requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the
level of future rents, the residual value of the flight equipment to be realized upon sale at some date in the future, estimated downtime between re-leasing events and the amount of re-leasing costs. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and
2011, the Company recognized impairment losses of $11.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The impairment losses were related to two Boeing 737-500 aircraft which were manufactured in 1992 and an Airbus A320-200 aircraft which was manufactured
in 2002. The leases related to the Boeing 737-500 aircraft expired in 2012 and the Company disposed of the aircraft in 2013. The Airbus A320-200 aircraft has been written down to its net realizable value and it was sold during the first quarter of
2013. There was no impairment loss recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values. Pursuant to
hedge accounting provisions, changes in the fair value of the item being hedged can be recognized into earnings in the same period and in the same income statement line as the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument. On the date that
the Company enters into a derivative contract, the Company formally documents all relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction.

Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types
of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of a
derivative that is designated and qualifies as an effective cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged item. Any derivative gains and
losses that are not effective in hedging the variability of expected cash flows of the hedged item or that do not qualify for hedge treatment are recognized directly into income.

At the hedges inception and at least quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine whether changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument have been highly effective in
offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in the future. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (i) it determines that the derivative is no longer
effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (iii) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer
appropriate. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the derivative instrument is carried at its fair market value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized into
current-period earnings. The remaining balance in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the derivative that has been discontinued is not recognized in the income statement unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will
not occur. Such amounts are recognized in earnings when earnings are affected by the hedged transaction.

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets consist primarily of debt issuance costs, unamortized lease premiums, initial direct lease costs and other miscellaneous receivables. The Company capitalizes costs incurred in arranging
financing as debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the terms of the credit facilities. Lease premiums are amortized into operating lease income over the lease term.

SECURITY DEPOSITS

In the normal course of leasing aircraft to third parties under its lease agreements, the Company receives cash or letters of credit as security for certain contractual obligations. At December 31,
2012 and 2011, security deposits represent cash received from the lessee that is held on deposit until termination of the lease. Security deposits are returned to the lessee at lease termination or taken into income if the lessee fails to perform
under their lease.

MAINTENANCE PAYMENT LIABILITY

The Companys flight equipment is typically subject to triple-net leases under which the lessee is responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes. Flys operating leases also obligate the
lessees to comply with all governmental requirements applicable to the flight equipment, including without limitation, operational, maintenance, registration requirements and airworthiness directives.

Under the terms of the lease agreements, cash collected from lessees for future maintenance of the aircraft is recorded as maintenance payment
liabilities. The Company does not recognize such maintenance payments as revenue during the lease. Maintenance payment liabilities are attributable to specific aircraft and are typically based on hours or cycles of utilization, depending upon the
component. Upon the occurrence of qualified maintenance events, the lessee submits a request for reimbursement and upon disbursement of the funds, the liability is relieved.

##### Table of Contents

In some leases, the lessor may be obligated to contribute to maintenance related expenses on an aircraft
during the term of the lease. In other instances, the lessee or lessor may be obligated to make a payment to the other party at lease termination based on a computation stipulated in the lease agreement. The calculation is based on utilization and
condition of the airframe, engines and other major life-limited components as determined at lease termination.

The Company may also incur
maintenance expenses on off-lease aircraft. Scheduled major maintenance or overhaul activities and costs for certain high-value components that are paid by the Company are capitalized and depreciated over the period until the next overhaul is
required. Such payments made by the Company for minor maintenance, repairs and re-leasing of aircraft are expensed as incurred.

Maintenance
payment liability balances at the end of a lease or any amount received as part of a redelivery adjustment are recorded as lease revenue at lease termination, including early termination upon a default. When flight equipment is sold, the maintenance
payment liability amounts may be remitted to the buyer in accordance with the terms of the related agreements and are released from the balance sheet as part of the disposition gain or loss.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Where revenue amounts do not meet these recognition
criteria, they are deferred and recognized in the period in which the recognition criteria are met. Rental income from aircraft is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the respective lease. The operating lease agreements
generally do not provide for purchase options, however, the leases may allow the lessee the option to extend the lease for an additional term. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue when the contingency is resolved. Revenue is not recognized
when collection is not reasonably assured.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has a 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan) which permitted the issuance of up to 1,500,000 share grants in the form of
(i) stock appreciation rights (SARs); (ii) restricted stock units (RSUs); (iii) nonqualified stock options; and (iv) other stock-based awards. In May 2012, the Company made an additional aggregate grant of
300,000 SARs and RSUs to certain employees of BBAM LP, who provide services to the Company pursuant to management and servicing agreements. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had made grants aggregating 1,500,000 and 1,200,000 of
total share grants under the 2010 Plan, respectively.

In accordance with GAAP, compensation expense associated with grants to employees are
valued at the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period. Grants to non-employees are initially measured at grant date, and then re-measured at each interim reporting period until the awards are vested. Determining the
appropriate fair value model and calculation of the fair value of stock-based awards requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, forfeitures and expected grant life.

TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes by tax jurisdiction (see Note 9). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial statements and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
which management ultimately expects to be more-likely-than-not realized.

The Company applies a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not
to be sustained in the examination of tax uncertainty in income taxes. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. The Company has elected to classify any interest on unpaid income taxes and penalties as a
component of the provision for income taxes. No interest on unpaid income taxes and penalties were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to achieve common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about
fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The update does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect
valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The accounting standard update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in 2012. The accounting standard update did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position
or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard to facilitate convergence between GAAP and IFRS by eliminating
the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The standard requires all nonowner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous
statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in 2012. The Company adopted the standard of presenting components of other comprehensive income in a
separate statement of comprehensive income.

The Company had no customer that accounted for 10% or more of total operating lease revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012,
2011 and 2010. The Company had two lessees which it placed on non-accrual status due to concerns about the lessees financial condition and only recognized revenue as cash was received. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had three
aircraft on lease to these two lessees. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized revenue of $7.5 million, $10.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, from these two lessees. The Company terminated the
leases related to these three aircraft during the first quarter of 2013.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the
Company recognized end of lease revenues totaling $49.8 million, $2.9 million and $21.4 million, respectively.

The amortization of lease
premiums, net of lease discounts which have been included as a component of operating lease revenue was approximately $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The amortization of lease discounts, net of lease premiums, was $1.9
million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the
weighted average remaining lease term of the Companys aircraft held for operating leases was 3.2 and 3.6 years, respectively.

On October 2, 2007, B&B Air Funding issued $853.0 million of aircraft lease-backed Class G-1 notes (the Notes) at
an offering price of 99.71282%. The Notes are direct obligations of B&B Air Funding and are not obligations of, or guaranteed by Fly. Interest is payable monthly based on the current one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.67%, which includes an
amount payable to Ambac Assurance Corporation, the provider of a financial guaranty insurance policy (the Policy Provider) that supports payment of interest and in certain circumstances, principal on the Notes.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 accrued interest on the Notes totaled $0.3 million in each period.

The Notes are secured by: (i) first priority, perfected security interests in and pledges or assignments of equity ownership and beneficial
interests in the subsidiaries of B&B Air Funding; (ii) interests in the leases of the aircraft they own; (iii) cash held by or for them; and (iv) rights under agreements with BBAM, the initial liquidity facility provider, hedge
counterparties and the insurance policy provider. Rentals paid under leases and proceeds from the sale of aircraft are placed in the collections account and paid out according to the priority of payments set forth in the indenture. The Notes are
also secured by a lien or similar interest in any of the aircraft B&B Air Funding currently owns that are registered in the United States or Ireland. B&B Air Funding may not encumber the aircraft it currently owns or incur additional
indebtedness except as permitted under the securitization related documents.

In 2009, the Company repurchased through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, an aggregate principal amount of $169.4 million of the Notes for $83.0 million. These amounts include $50.0 million principal amount of Notes purchased on exercise of an option.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company sold to an unrelated third party its remaining option to purchase up to $50.0 million principal amount of Notes for 48% of the principal amount
and received $12.5 million as consideration.

In 2011, the Company sold $40.8 million principal amount of these repurchased Notes for $33.8
million. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company sold the remaining $106.7 million principal amount of repurchased Notes for $87.3 million. The resulting discount of $26.4 million is being amortized over the remaining term of the Notes. As of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes was $660.4 million and $606.8 million, respectively.

Until
August 2012, there were scheduled minimum principal payments of approximately $1.0 million per month, subject to satisfying certain debt service coverage ratios and other covenants. In 2012 and 2011, the Company made principal payments of $14.4
million and $10.6 million, respectively, net of $0.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which were paid back to the Company in respect of the Notes it previously held.

Commencing August 2012, all revenues collected during each monthly period have been applied to service the outstanding balance of the Notes, after the payment of certain expenses and other costs,
including the fees to the Policy Provider, interest and interest rate swap payments. The final maturity date of the Notes is November 14, 2033.

Prior to August 2012, a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of any aircraft included in the Initial Portfolio was applied to repay the debt allocated to such aircraft. In 2012, three aircraft
were sold and the Company repaid debt of $38.8 million associated with these aircraft. The Company wrote-off loan costs and unamortized discounts of $1.5 million associated with the repaid debt. In connection with the sale of aircraft in 2011, the
Company repaid approximately $26.1 million of associated debt and approximately $3.9 million was returned to the Companys subsidiary, in respect of the Notes it purchased.

The Company may, on a payment date, redeem the Notes in whole or from time to time in part, at the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, as specified in the indenture
governing the Notes.

B&B Air Funding is subject to financial and operating covenants which relate to, among other things, its operations,
disposition of aircraft, lease concentration limits, restrictions on the acquisition of additional aircraft, and restrictions on the modification of aircraft and capital expenditures. Commencing August 2012, it was subject to an interest coverage
ratio. A breach of the covenants could result in the acceleration of the Notes and exercise of remedies available in relation to the collateral, including the sale of aircraft at public or private sale. As of December 31, 2012, B&B Air
Funding was not in default under the Notes.

On April 29, 2010, the servicing agreement for B&B Air Funding was amended to include the following
servicer termination events:



| |  |  | Bankruptcy or insolvency of BBAM LP;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | BBAM LP ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the Servicer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Summit ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 33.33% of the partnership interests in BBAM LP; provided that a sale that results in such
ownership being at a level below 33.33% shall not constitute a servicer termination event if the sale is to a publicly listed entity or other person with a net worth of at least $100 million; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 50% or more of the Servicers key finance and legal team or technical and marketing team cease to be employed by BBAM LP and are not replaced with
employees with reasonably comparable experience within 90 days.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, B&B Air
Funding entered into a revolving credit facility (Note Liquidity Facility) that provides additional liquidity of up to $60.0 million. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Liquidity Facility, advances may be drawn for the
benefit of the Note holders to cover certain expenses of B&B Air Funding, including maintenance expenses, interest rate swap payments and interest on the Notes. Advances shall bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.20%. A commitment
fee of 0.40% per annum is due and payable on each payment date based on the unused portion of the Note Liquidity Facility. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, B&B Air Funding had not drawn on the Note Liquidity Facility.

The financial guaranty insurance policy (the Policy) issued by the Policy Provider supports the payment of interest due on the Notes and the
payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes on the final maturity date and, under certain circumstances, prior thereto. A downgrade of the Policy Providers credit rating or its failure to meet its obligations under the Policy
will not have a direct impact on B&B Air Fundings obligations or rights under the Notes.

In November 2007, B&B Air Acquisition entered into a credit facility that provided for aircraft financing (B&B Air
Acquisition Facility). The facility was funded in two tranches, Tranche A and B. Tranche A was senior to Tranche B. Borrowings under the B&B Air Acquisition Facility incurred interest at a rate based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable
margin. The applicable margins for Tranche A and B were 1.50% per annum and 4.00% per annum, respectively.

On August 9, 2012,
the B&B Air Acquisition Facility, which financed 16 aircraft at that time, was repaid with proceeds from a new Term Loan (see below) and approximately $122.5 million of the Companys cash. In connection with the early repayment of the
facility, $2.5 million of accrued interest was waived by the lenders.

In connection with 19 of the 49 aircraft acquired in the GAAM Portfolio, the Company assumed a debt facility (the Nord LB
Facility) provided by Norddeutsche Landesbank Gironzentrale (Nord LB). On February 6, 2012, the Company completed an extension of the Nord LB Facility to November 2018. The Company paid $25.0 million to Nord LB which was
applied towards repayment of outstanding principal amounts on February 14, 2012. At the beginning of the extension term on November 14, 2012, the Company made an additional principal payment of $15.0 million to Nord LB.

From February 6, 2012 until November 14, 2012, the Company paid Nord LB a fee equal to 0.45% per annum, or $1.9 million, based on the
amount which was estimated to be outstanding as of November 14, 2012.

##### Table of Contents

Prior to November 14, 2012, the Nord LB Facility was structured as a single loan facility pursuant to
which one of the Companys subsidiaries was the borrower. The Nord LB Facility is now structured as individual loans with each aircraft owning subsidiary acting as the borrower of its respective loan. Borrowings are secured by Flys
equity interest in the subsidiaries which own the financed aircraft, the related leases, maintenance reserves and other deposits. The loans are cross-collateralized and contain cross-default provisions.

Commencing November 14, 2012, the loans under the Nord LB Facility bear interest at one month LIBOR plus 3.30% until the final maturity date of
November 14, 2018. To mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations, the Company has entered into interest rate swap arrangements. As of December 31, 2012, the blended weighted average interest rate for the facility was 4.14%,
excluding the debt discount amortization. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, interest accrued on the facility totaled $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Commencing December 2012, the Company pays 95% of lease rentals actually received in the corresponding monthly collections period towards interest and principal. Upon the termination or expiration of a
lease, no payments are due under the Nord LB Facility with respect to the outstanding loan amount for that aircraft until the earlier of six months from such termination or expiration or the date the aircraft is re-leased. Interest during this
period increases the outstanding balance under the facility. If an aircraft remains off-lease after six months from the termination or expiration, interest must be paid on each payment date. If an aircraft remains off-lease after twelve months, the
Company must pay debt service equal to 85% of the lease rate paid under the prior lease agreement. The lenders may require payment in full or foreclose on an aircraft that remains off-lease after 24 months, but the lenders may not foreclose on any
other aircraft. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made total principal payments of $89.5 million under the Nord Facility.

In the event the Company sells any of the financed aircraft, substantially all sales proceeds (after payment of certain expenses) must first be used to repay the debt associated with such aircraft and
second to repay the outstanding amounts which finance the other aircraft unless certain conditions are met. In addition, any security deposit amounts that the Company retains after termination of a lease and any maintenance reserve amounts which are
retained and are not expected to be required for future maintenance will be used to prepay the Nord LB Facility. If the Company earns a 10% return on its equity investment after full repayment of the facility, Fly will pay Nord LB a fee equal
to 10% of returns in excess of 10%, up to a maximum of $5.0 million.

On November 30, 2012, the Company sold an aircraft financed by the
Nord Facility. The Company repaid $20.6 million of debt and wrote off $0.8 million of unamortized discount associated with the debt.

An event
of default with respect to the loan on any aircraft will trigger an event of default on the loans with respect to every other financed aircraft. Events of default under the Nord LB Facility include, among other things:



| |  |  | interest or principal is not paid within three business days of its due date,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to make certain other payments under the Nord LB Facility and such payments are not made within five business days of receiving written notice,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to maintain required insurance levels,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to comply with certain other covenants, including compliance with required insurance levels and such noncompliance continuing for 30 days after
receipt of written notice,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the aircraft owning entities becoming the subject of insolvency proceedings,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any of the aircraft owning entities defaults in respect of obligations in excess of $10,000,000 and holders of such obligation accelerate or demand
repayment of amounts due thereunder.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Nord LB Facility does not contain any financial covenants. However, the Nord LB
Facility does contain certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of the financed aircraft. The Nord LB Facility also contains certain conditions and restrictions which relate to the servicing and management
of the financed aircraft, including covenants relating to the disposition and re-leasing of the aircraft. As of December 31, 2012, there was no default under the Nord LB Facility.

In connection with 21 of the 49 aircraft acquired in the GAAM Portfolio, the Companys subsidiaries assumed a debt facility
provided by Bank of Scotland plc and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (BOS Facility). Subsequent to the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, ten aircraft were refinanced. One aircraft which was refinanced in 2011, resulted in a repayment of
$20.0 million, and the nine other aircraft, which were refinanced in 2012, resulted in repayments of $194.9 million under this facility. The Company incurred debt extinguishment costs of $1.6 million which includes non-cash write-offs of loan costs
and unamortized debt discount totaling $1.4 million. At December 31, 2012, eleven aircraft remained financed through this facility.

The BOS Facility consists of individual loans with respect to each financed aircraft which have maturity dates matching the scheduled lease termination
dates for the financed aircraft. The loan maturity dates range from 2013 to 2017. Each loan may consist of a senior and junior tranche. The loans are cross-collateralized and lenders may require payment in full or foreclose on any aircraft in
this facility in the event of a default.

Borrowings under the BOS Facility accrue interest at either a fixed or variable interest rate.
Variable borrowings bear interest based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable composite margin of 1.43% for the senior tranche and 2.70% for the junior tranche. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted average interest rates on senior and
junior tranche loans, excluding the debt discount amortization, are presented below:

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, interest accrued on the facility totaled $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Company makes scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest on each loan in accordance with a fixed amortization schedule. In
addition, the Company is required to repay the associated debt upon lease termination or sale of an aircraft. Upon a lease termination or expiration, the Company may elect to extend the loan maturity date for up to six months during which only
interest is payable. If the aircraft is re-leased during this six month period with the consent of the facility agent, the loan will be extended. If the Company is unable to re-lease the aircraft on terms acceptable to the lenders or sell the
aircraft, the loan becomes due and payable at the end of this six month period. In 2012, total scheduled payments of $23.0 million were made by the Company.

If any lessee fails to make a payment of rent on a financed aircraft, the Company may pay the interest and principal due under the loan from its own funds on four successive occasions or on any six
occasions. If a lease event of default continues and the Company is no longer permitted to make such payments, the lenders may instruct the Company to terminate the relevant lease agreement and re-pay the loan subject to the six month remarketing
period described above.

Borrowings under the facility are secured by Flys equity interest in the subsidiaries which own the aircraft,
the related leases, maintenance reserves and other deposits. If, upon the repayment of any loan, (x) the BOS facility finances eight or fewer aircraft or (y) the number of different lessees to whom the aircraft are leased is three or fewer
and the ratio of the total principal amount outstanding under the BOS Facility to the aggregate appraised value of the aircraft is greater than 80%, Fly will be required to pay an amount as is required to reduce this ratio to 80% into a collateral
account.

On August 9, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a $395.0 million senior secured term loan that
matures in 2018 (the Term Loan) with a consortium of lenders. At that time, the Term Loan was issued at an offering price of 96% of par value, or a discount of $15.8 million, bearing interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 5.50%, with a LIBOR
floor of 1.25%.

Debt proceeds of $266.7 million, along with approximately $122.5 million of the Companys cash, were applied towards
full repayment of the B&B Air Acquisition Facility which financed 16 aircraft. The Company received the remaining proceeds of $112.5 million as seven additional aircraft, which were previously financed in the BOS Facility, were delivered into
the Term Loan. These proceeds were applied towards full repayment of debt outstanding in the BOS Facility in respect of these seven aircraft, as well as associated break costs. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company sold one aircraft
under the Term Loan.

On December 18, 2012, the Company re-priced the Term Loan to reduce the interest rate margin from 5.50% to 4.50%.
In conjunction with the re-pricing, the Company paid the lenders a one-time prepayment penalty of 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount which totaled $3.9 million. The Company recorded debt extinguishment costs of $4.2 million associated with
the lenders who did not participate in the re-pricing and whom were replaced with new lenders.

The Term Loan requires quarterly principal
payments of 1.25% of the original loan amount. The Company made a principal payment of $4.9 million in 2012. In addition, the aggregate principal amount outstanding as measured on a quarterly basis must not exceed 67.5% of the lower of the mean or
median of half-life adjusted base value of the financed aircraft as determined by three independent appraisers (LTV Maintenance Test). As of December 31, 2012, there was no breach of the LTV Maintenance Test. The Company is required
to seek new appraisals semi-annually.

Until December 2013, the Term Loan can be prepaid in part or in whole for an amount equal to 101% of
the outstanding principal amount being repaid. Beginning December 2013, the Term Loan can be prepaid in part or in whole for an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being repaid.

Borrowings under the Term Loan are secured by the Companys equity interests in the aircraft owning and/or leasing subsidiaries, the aircraft and
related leases and other deposits. The loan is also guaranteed by the Company. The Term Loan contains certain concentration limits with respect to types of aircraft which can be financed in the Term Loan, as well as geographic and single lessee
concentration limits. These concentration limits apply upon the sale, removal or substitution of an aircraft.

The Term Loan also includes
certain customary covenants, including reporting requirements, maintenance of public ratings, maintenance of insurance and limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness in respect of the aircraft financed by the Term Loan.

Fly Acquisition II Facility

On November 7, 2012, the Company, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Fly Acquisition II Limited, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and several other lenders. The Fly Acquisition II Facility provides for loans in an aggregate
amount of up to $250.0 million for an availability period of two years followed by a three year term, with a final maturity date of November 7, 2017. Borrowings under the Fly Acquisition II Facility will be used to finance the acquisition of
additional aircraft which may not be more than eight years of age at the time of such funding. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not drawn down on the Fly Acquisition II Facility.

The Fly Acquisition II Facility is available for a period of up to two years. The availability period ends on November 7, 2014. The availability of loans is limited such that the outstanding
aggregate amount cannot exceed the sum of (i) for each aircraft in the portfolio, 72.5% of the lower of the (x) purchase price depreciated on a straight line basis assuming a 25-year useful life of the aircraft and (y) the lower of
the current market value or appraisal, and (ii) if at the end of the availability period, certain concentration criteria are not met, then 50% of maintenance reserves paid with respect to the aircraft.

Fly Acquisition II will pay a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on a monthly basis to each lender on the undrawn amount of their commitment which
accrues during the availability period. Borrowings under the Fly Acquisition II Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the first two years will be 3.75% and
increased to 4.25%, 4.75% and 5.25%, respectively, for each consecutive year during the term.

During the availability period, Fly Acquisition
II is required to make monthly principal payments equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans less 72.5% of the aggregate purchase price of the aircraft depreciated on a straight line basis assuming a 25-year useful life of the
aircraft.

Fly Acquisition II may make voluntary prepayments under the Fly Acquisition II Facility. In addition, Fly Acquisition II is
required to make partial prepayments with any proceeds for the sale of aircraft and all insurance and other proceeds received with respect to any event of total loss of aircraft under the Fly Acquisition II Facility.

Borrowings are secured by the beneficial interests in Fly Acquisition II and each of its subsidiaries, the aircraft and related leases, certain cash
collateral and other deposits. In addition, Fly Acquisition II is required to maintain cash collateral equal to 2% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loans.

Fly Acquisition II is subject to certain operating covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of the acquired aircraft as well as the servicing and management of such aircraft,
including maintaining certain lease concentration limits and the disposition of aircraft.

Other Aircraft Secured Debt

In addition to the debt financings described above, the Company has entered into and may periodically enter into secured, non-recourse debt to finance the acquisition of aircraft. These borrowings may
finance the acquisition of one or more aircraft and are usually structured as individual loans which are secured by pledges of the Companys rights, title and interest in the financed aircraft and leases. The maturity date on each loan matches
the corresponding lease expiration date. The Company makes scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest on each loan in accordance with a fixed amortization schedule. Principal payments totaled $21.8 million in 2012.

These loans all contain customary covenants relating to the maintenance, registration and insurance of the financed aircraft, as well as restrictions on
our activities, including investments and other activities of the borrowers and restrictions on the granting of liens or other security interests in the aircraft. None of these loans include any financial covenants. These loans also contain certain
conditions and restrictions which relate to the servicing and management of the financed aircraft, including covenants relating to the disposition of aircraft and re-leasing of the aircraft. The Company was not in default under any of these debt
financings at December 31, 2012.

Other aircraft secured debt borrowings include: (i) three loans financing nine aircraft that were
assumed with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, (ii) three loans that were arranged in connection with the re-lease of aircraft from the GAAM Portfolio and (iii) eight loans that were arranged in connection with the purchase of
additional aircraft. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, interest accrued on these loans totaled $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The following table contains a summary of the key terms related to these other aircraft secured debt financings:

7. DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are used by the Company to manage its exposure to identified risks, such as interest rate and foreign currency exchange
fluctuations. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to hedge variable interest payments due on loans associated with aircraft with fixed rate rentals. The swap contracts allow the Company to pay fixed interest rates and receive variable
interest rates with the swap counterparty based on the one-month LIBOR on the notional amounts over the life of the contracts. The notional amounts decrease over time. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had interest rate swap
contracts with notional amounts aggregating $933.3 million and $1,187.6 million, respectively. Six of the interest rate swap contracts were assumed in connection with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio. Sixteen of the interest rate swap contracts
were entered into in connection with the extension of the Nord LB Facility. The unrealized fair market value loss on the interest rate swap contracts, reflected as derivative liabilities, was $47.5 million and $94.2 million as of December 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively.

To mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, the Company enters into cross currency
coupon swap contracts in conjunction with leases in which a portion or all of the lease rentals are denominated in currency other than U.S. dollars (USD). Pursuant to such cross currency swaps, the Company receives USD based on a fixed
conversion rate through the maturity date of the respective swap contract. Seven cross currency swap contracts were assumed in connection with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, of which three have been terminated. As of December 31, 2012
and 2011, the unrealized fair market value gain on the Euro cross currency swap contracts, reflected as a derivative asset, was $0.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The unrealized fair market value loss on the Australian dollar
(AUD) cross currency swap contracts, reflected as derivative liabilities, was $1.4 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow model. The model incorporates an assessment of the risk of non-performance by the swap counterparty in valuing
derivative assets and an evaluation of the Companys credit risk in valuing derivative liabilities.

The Company considers in its
assessment of non-performance risk, if applicable, netting arrangements under master netting agreements, any collateral requirement, and the derivative payment priority in the Companys debt agreements. The valuation model uses various inputs
including contractual terms, interest rate curves, credit spreads and measures of volatility.

Designated Derivatives

The Companys interest rate derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in fair value of these derivatives
are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of a provision for income taxes. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted
transaction affects earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a net unrealized gain of $9.1 million, after the applicable net tax expense of $1.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company
recorded a net unrealized loss of $5.0 million, after the applicable net tax benefit of $0.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a net unrealized loss of $12.9 million, after the applicable net tax benefit of
$1.8 million.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had the following designated derivative instruments classified as derivative

Undesignated Derivatives

Cross currency swap contracts assumed in connection with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio have historically qualified for hedge accounting treatment. However, due to foreign currency exchange rates
of the underlying contracts being different from market rates at the acquisition date, these contracts no longer qualified for hedge accounting treatment and were de-designated. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded directly
into income.

Terminated Derivatives

In 2010 and 2011, the Company terminated two interest rate swap contracts and received settlement proceeds totaling $2.1 million which are being amortized
as a reduction to interest expense over the original term of the contracts. The amounts from the terminated interest rate swap contracts that will be amortized into interest expense for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Description of Plan

On April 29, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan) and reserved 1,500,000 shares for issuance under the
2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan permits the grant of (i) SARs; (ii) RSUs; (iii) nonqualified stock options; and (iv) other stock-based awards. In 2010, the Company made an initial grant aggregating 599,999 SARs and RSUs to certain
employees of BBAM LP who provide services to the Company pursuant to management and servicing agreements. On March 1, 2011 and May 2, 2012, the Company made additional grants of 600,001 and 300,000 SARs and RSUs, respectively. As of
December 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company made grants aggregating 1,500,000, 1,200,000 and 599,999 of total share grants under the 2010 Plan, respectively.

SARs entitle the holder to receive any increase in value between the grant date price of Flys ADSs and
their value on the exercise date. RSUs entitle the holder to receive a number of Flys ADSs equal to the number of RSUs awarded upon vesting. The granted SARs and RSUs vest in three equal installments and expire on the tenth anniversary of the
grant date. The Company settles SARs and RSUs with newly issued ADSs.

The holder of a SAR or RSU is also entitled to dividend equivalent
rights (Dividend Equivalent) on each SAR and RSU. For each Dividend Equivalent, the holder shall have the non-forfeitable right to receive a cash amount equal to the per share dividend paid by the Company during the period between the
grant date and the earlier of the (i) award exercise date, (ii) termination date or (iii) expiration date (Dividend Amount). Dividend Equivalents expire at the same time and in the same proportion that the SARs and RSUs
are either exercised, cancelled, forfeited or expired. Dividend Amounts are payable to the holder only when the SAR or RSU on which the Dividend Equivalent applies has vested.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company accounts for grants to the CEO and CFO as grants to
employees and grants to other BBAM LP employees as grants to non-employees. Grants to employees are valued at the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis into share-based compensation expense over the service period. Grants to
non-employees are initially measured at grant date, and then re-measured at each interim reporting period until the awards are vested.

The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of SARs. The fair value of SARs expected to vest is estimated on the date of grant, or if applicable, on the measurement date using the following assumptions:



|                        |  |                             |  |                             |  |

|Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.90%  2.73%               |  | 1.67%  3.47%               |  | 2.73%  3.04%              
|Volatility              |  | 54%  70%                   |  | 60%  70%                   |  | 65%  70%                  
|Expected life           |  | 6  10 years                |  | 6  9 years                 |  | 6  9 years                

The expected stock price volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of the Companys common shares as well as
other companies operating in similar businesses. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, or as applicable as of the measurement date, for the period corresponding with the expected life of
the SAR. The dividend yield assumption was not factored into the valuation model as the SAR grant holder is entitled to the Dividend Amount.

9. INCOME TAXES

Fly is a tax resident of Ireland and has wholly-owned subsidiaries in Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Australia and the Cayman Islands
that are tax residents in those jurisdictions. In general, Irish resident companies pay corporation tax at the rate of 12.5% on trading income and 25.0% on non-trading income. In calculating net trading income, Fly and its Irish tax resident
subsidiaries are entitled to a deduction for trading expenses and tax depreciation on their aircraft. In addition, repatriated earnings and any undistributed earnings from the Companys Cayman and Australian subsidiaries will be taxed at the
25.0% and 12.5% tax rate, respectively. Flys French resident subsidiaries pay a corporation tax of 33.33%, Flys Luxembourg resident subsidiary pays a corporation tax of 28.8% and Flys Australian resident subsidiaries pay a
corporation tax of 30.0% on their net trading income.

In connection with the taxable gain resulting from the sale of its investment in BBAM
LP to Onex, Fly recorded a tax provision at the Irish capital gains tax rate of 33.0%. In 2012, a wholly-owned Irish subsidiary recorded a tax benefit for interest that had been accruing on an inter-company note and for which no tax benefit had been
provided. The interest was paid in 2013 and this deduction could be utilized to offset the Irish taxes recognized on the gain from the sale of the Companys 15.0% interest in BBAM LP.

The Companys tax provision also included U.S. federal and state taxes on its share of BBAM LPs taxable income sourced in the U.S. BBAM LP operates in jurisdictions in which it, rather than its
partners, is responsible for the taxes levied. These taxes are included in BBAM LPs results and are reflected in the Companys equity earnings from BBAM LP.

the underlying source of income. Subject to limitations under current Irish law, U.S. taxes paid by the Company or taxes paid by BBAM LPs subsidiaries may be credited against an Irish tax liability associated with its investment in BBAM LP.

##### Table of Contents

In 2011, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset in connection with the acquisition of GAAMs
Australian assets. The Company established a valuation allowance against the resulting deferred tax asset as it has determined that it is not more likely than not that sufficient capital gains will be generated to utilize the deferred tax asset.

During 2012, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against an Irish subsidiarys net operating loss carryforward as it has
determined that it is not more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the deferred tax asset.

The
Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that a portion of such assets will not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive
and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and its ability to carry back losses to prior years. The Company is required to make assumptions and
judgments about potential outcomes that may be outside its control. Critical factors include the projection, source, and character of future taxable income. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that
deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward periods are reduced
or current tax planning strategies are not implemented.

The Company is allowed to carry forward its net operating losses for an indefinite
period to be offset against income of the same trade under current tax rules in Ireland.

The table below is a reconciliation of the Irish
statutory corporation tax rate of 12.5% on trading income to the Companys recorded income tax expense (benefit):

On December 28, 2012, Summit and Onex invested $5.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for a total of 2,191,060 newly issued common shares of the Company at a price of $11.41 per share. The
share price represents a 5% discount to the volume-weighted average price of the Companys common shares in the five-day period ended November 29, 2012. The shares are subject to lock-up provisions, and the Company has agreed to register
these shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a registration rights agreement.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

SARs and RSUs granted by the Company that contain non-forfeitable rights to receive dividend equivalents are deemed participating
securities (see Note 11). Net income available to common shareholders is determined by reducing the Companys net income for the period by dividend equivalents paid on vested RSUs and SARs during the period.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the potential number of dilutive common
shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effect of any anti-dilutive securities.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company contracts with third-party service providers to perform maintenance or overhaul activities on its
off-lease aircraft.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Fly has no employees and has outsourced the daily operations of the Company by entering into management, servicing and administrative
agreements (the Agreements) with BBAM. Services to be rendered under these agreements include acquiring and disposing of aircraft; marketing of aircraft for lease and re-lease; collecting rent and other payments from the lessees;
monitoring maintenance, insurance and other obligations under the leases; enforcing the Companys rights under the lease terms; and maintaining the books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Manager manages the Company under the
direction of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, certain fees and expenses that may be payable to the Manager may be reduced for any like payments made to other BBAM affiliates.

In connection with the acquisition of the GAAM Portfolio, the Company amended its agreement with its Manager and entered into new servicing
agreements with affiliates of BBAM LP related to the GAAM portfolio.

On December 28, 2012, in connection with the sale of the
Companys 15% interest in BBAM to Onex, the Management Agreement was amended and the term of the agreement was extended to December 28, 2022, with an automatic five year renewal period unless the Company pays a termination fee to the
Manager of $8.0 million, subject to potential future adjustment. In addition, BBAM has agreed to provide the Company with certain information regarding BBAMs financial results as well as information about purchases and disposition of aircraft
by entities managed or serviced by BBAM. The Company has also agreed that it will not have the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the departure of Steven Zissis, the current president and chief executive of Summit and BBAM. In
connection with the sale of its 15% interest in BBAM LP, the Company paid BBAM a fee equal to 1.5% of the selling price or $0.7 million.

Pursuant to the Agreements, BBAM is entitled to receive servicing fees. With respect to the Companys Initial Portfolio, BBAM is entitled to receive
a base fee of $150,000 per month, subject to certain adjustments, and a rent fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of aircraft rent due and 1% of rent actually collected. With respect to all other aircraft, BBAM is entitled to receive a
servicing fee equal to 3.5% of the aggregate amount of rent actually received for such aircraft. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, base and rent fees incurred amounted to $12.6 million, $8.5 million and $7.2 million,
respectively.

BBAM is entitled to an administrative agency fee from B&B Air Funding equal to $750,000 per annum, subject to adjustments
based on the Consumer Price Index. Until August 2012, BBAM was entitled to an administrative fee from B&B Air Acquisition of $240,000 per annum. For all other aircraft, BBAM is entitled to an administrative fee of $1,000 per month per aircraft.
In addition, BBAM is entitled to a servicer administrative fee of $10,000 per month under each of the Term Loan and Fly Acquisition II Facility. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, $1.8 million, $1.2 million and $1.0 million
of administrative fees were paid in each respective period.

For its role as exclusive arranger, BBAM receives a fee equal to 1.5% of the
purchase price of aircraft acquired, excluding aircraft in the Initial Portfolio. BBAM also receives 1.5% of the sales proceeds of all disposed aircraft. However, in connection with the acquisition of the 49 aircraft in the GAAM Portfolio, the
Company paid its Manager a one-time acquisition fee of $12.5 million. In addition, the Company will pay the Manager a disposition fee equal to 2% of the gross proceeds in respect of the disposition of any of these 49 aircraft made on or prior to
October 14, 2013 if the gross proceeds on such disposition exceed the net book value of such aircraft. The disposition fee payable on these 49 acquired aircraft after October 14, 2013 will be 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds on
disposition. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $0.9 million and $1.2 million of fees were incurred for aircraft acquired and disposed, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, $1.5 million and $2.1 million of fees were
incurred for aircraft acquired and disposed, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, $0.6 million and $1.6 million of fees were incurred for aircraft acquired and disposed, respectively.

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the
level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. The hierarchy levels established by FASB give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Fair value
measurements are disclosed by level within the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1  Inputs are unadjusted, quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2  Inputs (other than quoted
prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instruments anticipated life.

Level 3  Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at
the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

##### Table of Contents

The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative instruments, accounts payable and secured borrowings. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing and able
parties. A liabilitys fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.

The fair value of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
approximate their carrying value. (The fair values of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents are a Level 1 hierarchy. The fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable are Level 2 hierarchy.) Where available, the fair value of the
Companys notes payable and debt facilities are based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters (Level 2). Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied, using the
net present value of cash flow streams over the term using estimated market rates for similar instruments and remaining terms (Level 3). These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is
dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments complexity. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates an assessment of the
risk of non-performance by the swap counterparty and an evaluation of Flys credit risk in valuing derivative liabilities. The valuation model uses various inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, credit spreads and measures of
volatility.

The Company also measures the fair value for certain assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, when GAAP requires the
application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include Flys investments in unconsolidated affiliates and
flight equipment held for operating leases. Fly accounts for its investments in unconsolidated affiliates under the equity method and records impairment when its fair value is less than its carrying value (Level 3). No impairment was recorded by the
Company in regards its investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company records
flight equipment at fair value when the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such fair value measurements are based on managements best estimates and judgment, and uses Level 3 inputs which include assumptions as to future cash proceeds from
the leasing and eventual disposition of the aircraft. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company wrote down three aircraft to their net realizable value and recognized a charge of $11.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2011,
the Company wrote down two aircraft to their net realizable value and recognized a charge of $7.5 million.

The carrying amounts and fair
values of the Companys financial instruments are as follows:
