The decrease in lease revenues and management fees is due to the disposition of equipment. The increase in expenses from fiscal 2000 to 2001 is attributable to the acquisition of PLM International, Inc. ("PLM"). The decrease in expenses from fiscal 2001 to 2002 is attributable to a decrease in general and administrative costs at MILPI Holdings, LLC ("MILPI") offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance costs associated with AFG Investment Trust D re-lease of an aircraft. The decrease in MILPI's general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the relocation and consolidation of corporate service functions during May 2001.
