Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Boeing Capital Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “us,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company (Boeing). We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In our opinion all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2 – Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits us to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (i.e. the Fair Value Option). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. If we elect the Fair Value Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, we will report unrealized gains and losses due to changes in their fair value in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Transactions with Boeing

As an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing, our mission is to arrange for the financing of products manufactured by Boeing. When third party financing is not available, we may provide such financing directly.

We have a number of general contractual arrangements with Boeing to facilitate our operations including, among others, a support agreement, tax sharing agreement and agreements allowing us to borrow under Boeing’s committed revolving line of credit. We also have an uncommitted intercompany borrowing arrangement with Boeing under which we had no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2007.

In addition, we may require other forms of support from Boeing with respect to certain financing transactions we undertake. This support may take the form of intercompany guarantees, subsidies, remarketing agreements or other support arrangements.

There can be no assurances that these intercompany agreements and arrangements will not be terminated or modified by Boeing.

At June 30, 2007, we were the beneficiary under $2,449 of guarantees from Boeing which mitigates our risk with respect to portfolio assets totaling $3,194.

   $ 2,449    $ 3,194    $ 2,663    $ 3,424
 

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Accounts with Boeing included $123 and $141 for deferred revenue associated with guarantee and subsidy settlements and terminations.

We recorded the following activity under the intercompany guarantee and subsidy agreements for the six months ended June 30:

 

      2007     2006

Applied to income

   $ 35     $ 34

Net change in finance lease receivables

           96

Net change in deferred revenue

     (18 )    

Guarantees receivable from Boeing

     (15 )     64

Net cash received under intercompany guarantee and subsidy agreements

   $ 2     $ 194
 

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded operating lease income from Boeing, exclusive of guarantees and subsidies, of $18 and $27.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded new business volume of $20 and $158 related to aircraft and equipment manufactured by Boeing.

Note 4 – Allowance for Losses on Receivables

The following table reconciles the allowance for losses on receivables for the six months ended June 30:

 

      2007     2006     2007     2006  
                    Pro Forma(1)  

Allowance for losses on receivables at beginning of period

   $ 102     $ 101     $ 254     $ 274  

Provision for (recovery of) losses

     (18 )     2       (42 )     2  

Net write-offs

     (2 )     (1 )           (16 )

Allowance for losses on receivables at end of period

   $ 82     $ 102     $ 212     $ 260  
   

Allowance as a percentage of total receivables

     2.5%       2.3%       6.6%       5.9%  

 

(1)

 

Reconciles, on a pro forma basis, the changes in the allowance for losses on receivables for the six months ended June 30, calculated in accordance with our accounting policy, if the impact of intercompany guarantees from Boeing were to be excluded. The exclusion of intercompany guarantees would increase the applicable exposure for various receivables and would reduce the allowance for certain of our finance leases classified as operating leases by Boeing.

The carrying value of impaired receivables consisted of the following:

 

     

June 30,

2007

  

December 31,

2006

Impaired receivables with specific impairment allowance

   $ 44    $ 74

Impaired receivables with no specific allowance

     252      1,032

Carrying value of impaired receivables

   $ 296    $ 1,106
 

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we received customer pre-payments in full of $765 on notes receivable previously reported as impaired.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, allowance for losses on impaired receivables was $14 and $20.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets (assets either not earning income on an accrual basis or equipment without a purchase commitment or current contractual lease revenue) consisted of the following:

 

     

June 30,

2007

  

December 31,

2006

Assets placed on non-accrual status:

     

Receivables

   $ 60    $ 100

Equipment under operating leases, net

     206      161
     266      261

Assets held for sale or re-lease, net

     1      6
   $ 267    $ 267
 

Percent of non-performing receivables to total receivables

     1.8%      2.3%

Percent of total non-performing assets to total portfolio

     3.8%      3.3%

For the portfolio assets that were non-performing as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded income of $8 and $11 based on cash received of $14 and $21.

Note 5 – Income Tax

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The cumulative effect of applying this interpretation did not result in any adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.

In conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48, we began recording income tax related interest expense and interest income in Income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In prior periods, such interest income or expense was recorded in Operating expense. Penalties, if any, will be recorded as a component of Income tax expense. We did not incur any income tax related interest income, interest expense or penalties for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

As of June 30, 2007 and January 1, 2007, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

As of June 30, 2007 and January 31, 2007, we, as a subsidiary of Boeing, are subject to examination in the United States federal tax jurisdiction for the 2002-2006 tax years. We, either as a subsidiary of Boeing or as a separate filing entity, are also subject to examination in various state and foreign jurisdictions for the years 2001-2006.

Note 6 – Debt

Debt, including the net effects of interest rate swap revaluation adjustments and unamortized deferred debt costs, consisted of the following:

 

     

June 30,

2007

  

December 31,

2006

3.25% - 7.64% fixed rate notes due through 2017

   $ 4,440    $ 5,263

6.58% - 6.92% floating rate notes due through 2023 (1)

     120      119

4.84% - 7.78% non-recourse notes due through 2013 (1)

     73      76

4.39% - 8.25% capital lease obligations due through 2015 (1)

     114      132
   $ 4,747    $ 5,590
 

 

(1)

 

Interest rates on floating rate debt are the contractual interest rates at June 30, 2007.

 

7


Table of Contents

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had interest rate swaps, which effectively convert $1,530 and $1,545 of debt from fixed rate to floating rate and $92 from floating rate to fixed rate.

The most restrictive covenants in our debt agreements require us to (a) limit the payment of cash dividends to the extent that our consolidated assets would be less than 115% of our consolidated liabilities (excluding deferred taxes) after dividend payments and (b) restrict the amount of liens on our property to secure indebtedness to 15% or less of consolidated assets, other than liens specifically excluded. As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Various legal proceedings and claims are pending or have been asserted against us. We believe that the final outcome of these proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows and/or financial position.

Restructurings and Restructuring Requests

From time to time, certain of our customers request a restructuring of their transactions with us. We have not reached agreement on any other restructuring requests that would have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash flows and/or financial position.

Commitments

At June 30, 2007, we and Boeing had unfunded financing commitments of $10,050, consisting of both firm and contingent contracts. These commitments are provided to give Boeing customers reasonable assurance of financing in connection with orders of Boeing products in advance of delivery. However, customers typically seek lower cost financing from other sources prior to actual delivery. In addition, we continue to work with third party financiers to provide alternative financing to customers and eliminate the need for our financing. Based on historical experience and anticipated capital market acceptance of Boeing aircraft covered by Boeing’s and our current commitments, we anticipate that a significant portion of these commitments will not be exercised by the customer or will expire without being fully drawn upon. To the extent we are obligated to provide financing, such financing generally includes participation by engine manufacturers which further reduces our obligation. Therefore, the reported amount of commitments does not necessarily represent a future net cash requirement. However, we expect to ultimately provide funding for those commitments which are exercised, whether they are Boeing’s or our commitments. If there were requirements to fund all Boeing and our commitments, the timing in which these commitments may be funded (based on estimated earliest funding dates) is as follows:

Note 8 – Concentrations

Generally, each asset in our portfolio is backed by the value of the equipment that we have financed, the particular customer’s credit and, at times, other collateral or transactional features. Additionally, our risk on certain transactions has been mitigated in part by transactional support provided by Boeing; that support itself is concentrated on the 717 aircraft in our portfolio.

Note 9 – Discontinued Operations

On May 24, 2004, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) to sell substantially all of the assets related to our Commercial Financial Services business. The final asset sale closed on December 27, 2004.

Part of the purchase and sale agreement with GECC includes a loss sharing arrangement for losses that may exist at the end of the initial and subsequent financing periods of the transferred portfolio assets, or in some instances, prior to the end of the financing period, such as certain events of default and repossession. The loss sharing arrangement provides that cumulative net losses (if any) are to be shared between us and GECC. The provisions effectively limit our exposure to any losses to $245. At June 30, 2007, our maximum exposure to loss associated with the loss sharing arrangement was $221, for which we have accrued a liability of $71.

The reserve under the loss sharing arrangement, which is included in Other liabilities, was as follows:

Forward-Looking Information is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty

Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. As a result, these statements speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our actual results and future trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including:

 

   

general economic conditions, which includes changes to fuel prices and business trends, particularly those affecting the airline industry (including air traffic growth rates, the impact of bankruptcies or restructurings on certain commercial airline customers, and changes in aircraft valuations);

 

   

the sufficiency of our liquidity, including access to capital markets;

 

   

the impact on us of strategic decisions by The Boeing Company (Boeing), including the amount of financing provided to support the sale of Boeing products, transactional or other support made available to us by Boeing and the ending of production of certain aircraft programs;

 

   

our ability to meet our current contractual obligations, including outstanding financing commitments;

 

   

reduced lease rates as a result of competition in the used aircraft market;

 

   

financial, legal, tax, regulatory, legislative, accounting changes or actions that may affect the overall performance of our business;

 

   

the adequacy of coverage of our allowance for losses on receivables;

 

   

volatility in our earnings due to the timing of asset sales, other risk mitigation activities, and fluctuations in our portfolio size; and

 

   

other risk factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Please see Item 1A Risk Factors in this report and Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for a description of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements.

Overview

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we continued to focus on supporting Boeing’s major businesses and managing our overall financial exposures.

At June 30, 2007, our portfolio consisted of finance leases, notes and other receivables, equipment under operating leases, investments, and assets held for sale or re-lease. At June 30, 2007, we owned 300 commercial aircraft and four C-40 aircraft and had partial ownership or security interest in an additional 58 aircraft, including those owned in Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates (EETC) and other financing structures.

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had $114 million and $259 million of assets that were held for sale or re-lease, of which $110 million and $253 million had firm contracts to be sold or placed on lease. Additionally, leases with a carrying value of approximately $60 million are scheduled to terminate in the next 12 months, and the related aircraft are being remarketed, or the leases are being extended.

Our net income was $95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $90 million for the same period in 2006, an increase of $5 million.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $58 million, a decrease of 12% compared with the same period in 2006.

Interest income on notes receivable was $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 22% compared with the same period in 2006 primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average balance of our notes receivable as a result of the pre-payment of certain notes in 2007 and the sale of certain notes in 2006.

Operating lease income was $230 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 10% compared with the same period in 2006 primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average balance of equipment under operating leases due to the sale of certain aircraft during 2006.

Expenses

Expenses decreased $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 20% compared with the same period in 2006.

Interest expense was $155 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 13% compared with the same period in 2006 primarily due to a decrease in the balance of debt outstanding as a result of scheduled debt repayments.

Depreciation expense was $108 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 14% compared with the same period in 2006 primarily due to a decrease of $12 million resulting from the decrease in the depreciable balance of equipment under operating leases and a decrease of $5 million resulting from the change in our intention to hold or dispose of equipment before the end of its economic useful life.

Provision for (recovery of) losses reflected a recovery of $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with a provision of $2 million for the same period in 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we adjusted the allowance for losses on notes and finance lease receivables to a level we deemed adequate to cover probable losses.

Provision for income tax was $53 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 26% compared with same period in 2006, primarily due to an increase in the effective income tax rate as a result of the repeal of Foreign Sales Corporation and Extraterritorial Income Benefits and a benefit from Boeing under our intercompany tax sharing agreement in the first six months of 2006 which did not occur in the first six months of 2007.

Table of Contents

Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax, was $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, due to a reduction in our expected losses under our loss sharing arrangement with General Electric Capital Corporation related to the sale of certain assets of our Commercial Financial Services business in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our total cash and cash equivalents were $603 million at June 30, 2007, an increase from $589 million at December 31, 2006. The following is a summary of the change in our cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30:

 

(Dollars in millions)    2007     2006  

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $ 217     $ 340  

Net cash provided by investing activities

     893       668  

Net cash used in financing activities

     (1,096 )     (822 )

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents

   $ 14     $ 186  
   

Operating activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities included net income from operations of $95 million. We had net adjustments for non-cash items of $123 million which primarily related to depreciation expense. We also had a net decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities included net income from operations of $90 million. We had adjustments for non-cash items of $134 million, which primarily related to depreciation expense. We also had an increase in our net operating assets and liabilities of $116 million, which included $45 million for guarantee and subsidy settlements with Boeing, $13 million for unearned lease income from Boeing and $35 million for income taxes.

Investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash provided by investing activities included $917 million relating to customer pre-payments of certain notes receivable and asset run off.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by investing activities included $197 million primarily from the sale of an aircraft and the sale of certain of our investments, $297 million from the sale of certain notes receivable and $96 million received from Boeing associated with the net change in finance lease receivable and a partial settlement of a guarantee on 24 717 aircraft.

Financing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used for financing activities included scheduled debt repayments of $832 million and cash dividends (including return of capital) to Boeing of $264 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we made scheduled debt repayments of $590 million and cash dividends (including return of capital) to Boeing of $232 million.

Outstanding debt at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $4.7 billion and $5.6 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 we had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding. Our leverage (ratio of debt to equity) at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was 5.0-to-1.

We have liquidity requirements, primarily to fund financing commitments, meet debt obligations and fund our operating expenses. In the near term, we believe our cash from operations and other receipts from our portfolio, which may include asset sales and securitizations, will be sufficient to satisfy existing commitments and plans. To the extent we require financial flexibility to meet potential business funding requirements we also have the ability to issue commercial paper and other debt, obtain funding from Boeing or limit new business volume.

Table of Contents

We believe we have adequate borrowing capacity. We have $1.5 billion available under Boeing’s committed revolving bank credit line agreements that serve as back-up liquidity for the issuance of commercial paper and general corporate purposes. In addition, we have a Support Agreement with Boeing that includes a liquidity maintenance provision. Under this provision, Boeing has committed to make contributions to us if our fixed-charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Support Agreement, falls below 1.05-to-1 on a four-quarter rolling basis.

Risks that could affect our sources of liquidity include among others:

 

   

a severe or prolonged downturn in the economy,

   

significant restructurings, defaults or bankruptcies by airlines,

   

disruptions or declines in the global capital markets, and

   

a decrease in our and/or Boeing’s credit ratings and/or financial performance.

We continually assess our leverage, as measured by our debt to equity ratio, in light of the risks in our business. These risks include, among others, the exposure to our portfolio from unfavorable market conditions affecting our customers or our ability to access the global capital markets.

Credit Ratings

Our access to capital at rates that allow for a reasonable return on new business can be affected by ratings of our debt by credit rating agencies. As a wholly owned finance company, our credit ratings are closely tied to those of Boeing due to the Support Agreement entered into between Boeing and us in December 2003 and transactional support and guarantees. Our ratings and spreads could be impacted positively or negatively by changing perceptions of Boeing, the airline industry, the defense industry or of Boeing’s competitive positions in them. It is possible that these changes could affect our access to the capital markets. We believe our access to the capital markets is adequate.

We have the following credit ratings as of the filing date of this report:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Boeing Capital Corporation

Renton, Washington

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Boeing Capital Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and of shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Boeing Capital Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
