Aircraft acquired through the first two channels are not subject to an existing lease and represent a vast majority of all of the Company&#146;s aircraft purchases.&#160; Aircraft acquired from other owners of aircraft are typically subject to an existing lease. The table below summarizes the amount and quantity of used aircraft purchased during the periods presented. The table also identifies the amount and quantity of used aircraft purchased that were subject to an existing lease.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:black;font-size:11.0pt;">When the Company has purchased an aircraft with an in-place lease, the Company has not had an accounting policy that addresses acquired maintenance rights assets/liabilities. The Company understands that a maintenance right asset represents the fair value of the contractual right under the related lease agreement to receive an aircraft in an improved condition as compared to its condition as of the date of acquisition. A maintenance right liability represents a future obligation of the Company to make a payment to the lessee for the improved aircraft condition as of the date of acquisition as compared to the contractual right under the related lease agreement as of the date of acquisition. The Company has evaluated the impact of recording maintenance rights assets/liabilities on its portfolio of aircraft subject to operating lease.&#160; At December&nbsp;31, 2015, had the Company separately recognized maintenance right assets/liabilities, the Company believes the maintenance right asset would have been immaterial (less than 1% of consolidated assets).&#160; In addition, the Company believes the cumulative pre-tax adjustment to depreciation expense through December&nbsp;31, 2015 would have been immaterial (less than 0.5% of the Company&#146;s 2015 income before taxes). Furthermore, the Company anticipates that the cumulative pre-tax adjustment would remain immaterial for the foreseeable future.</font></p>

This will allow the Company sufficient time to modify its accounting systems and control environment to properly track and account for maintenance rights assets/liabilities. Due to the relative insignificance of the related balances, the Company will separately disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements, (i)&nbsp;the net maintenance right asset included as a component of flight equipment on the balance sheet, and (ii)&nbsp;the amortization of the net maintenance right asset included in depreciation expense on the income statement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:black;font-size:11.0pt;">As noted in the Company&#146;s disclosure in its Form&nbsp;10-K and other filings, the Company believes &#147;Adjusted net income,&#148; &#147;Adjusted diluted earnings per share,&#148; and &#147;Adjusted margin&#148; (collectively, the &#147;Non-GAAP Measures&#148;) provide alternative measures in evaluating the operating performance of the Company&#146;s ongoing operations. Specifically, the Company adds back provision for income taxes in its calculation of the Non-GAAP Measures because the Company believes it provides a more meaningful analysis to investors of operating, market and industry trends by excluding the full impact of income tax expenses, which expense can change from period-to-period for reasons irrespective of operating, market or industry trends.&#160; Also, management uses the Non-GAAP Measures in its review of the Company&#146;s financial performance and believes these measures are helpful for the same reasons, i.e. because removing the impact of income tax expenses allows management to better evaluate the operating performance of the Company and trends in the Company&#146;s performance without the sometimes inconsistent timing of income tax expense relative to operating results.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:black;font-size:11.0pt;">Further, the Company believes it is common for companies to present non-GAAP financial measures that add back income tax expense as performance measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, for similar reasons that the Company adds back income tax expense to calculate its Non-GAAP Measures. The Company&#146;s formulation of adjusted net income is substantially similar to the commonly accepted formulation of EBITDA, except the Company does not add back interest expense and depreciation of aircraft because it believes these expense items can reflect trends in the Company&#146;s ongoing operating performance unique to an aircraft leasing company with significant debt obligations. As such, the Company believes that adding back income tax expense to calculate its Non-GAAP Measures provides investors with a meaningful view of the Company&#146;s performance from ongoing operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:black;font-size:11.0pt;">The Company accounts for a change in the minimum non-cancellable lease term determined at the lease inception of a lease, as a new lease under ASC Topic 840. Lease extension options are typically not included in the originally determined minimum non-cancellable lease term, as it is not reasonably assured that the lessee will exercise the extension option. Accordingly, consideration provided to a lessee in connection with the origination of a new lease is accounted for as a lease incentive.&#160; As a matter of policy, the Company capitalizes and amortizes lease incentives over the minimum non-cancellable term of a new lease.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:black;font-size:11.0pt;">In the scenario whereby a lease that contains maintenance reserve provisions is extended, the Company conducts an analysis to determine if any maintenance reserve payments have previously been recorded as maintenance revenue under the initial lease. The Company then considers the new lease term to determine if the Company is able to maintain its assertion of virtual certainty surrounding the ultimate reimbursement of the maintenance reserves collected under the initial lease, which have been recorded as revenue. Any maintenance reserves that no longer meet the virtual certainty criteria as a function of the new lease term are deemed to be consideration provided by the lessor to the lessee, and are accounted for as lease incentives, which are then capitalized and amortized over the new minimum non-cancellable lease term.</font></p>
