Date: November 15, 2002 By:/s/ Richard K Brock ------------------- ---------------- Chief Financial Officer of Semele Group Inc. (Duly Authorized Officer) ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12b-25 Part IV-Other Information --------------------------- Significant changes in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the corresponding periods for 2001 are summarized below: The estimated three and nine months ending September 30, 2002 results as compared to the three and nine months ending September 30, 2001 results (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------------- ---------------- ---------- --------- Total Revenues $ 2,279 $ 5,245 $ 12,922 $ 20,483 Total Expenses $ (7,009) $ (8,624) $(19,377) $(22,221) Provision for Income Taxes and $ 4,573 $ (206) $ 5,650 $ (942) Elimination of Minority Interests Net Income (Loss) $ (157) $ (3,585) $ (805) $ (2,680) The decrease in revenues for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the Company's lease revenues and management fee income. The decrease in lease revenues and management fees is due to the disposition of equipment. The decrease in expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 is attributable to a decrease in general and administrative costs at MILPI Holdings LLC offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance associated with AFG Investment Trust D's re-lease of a McDonnell Douglas DC-8-73 airplane. The decrease in MILPI Holding's general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the relocation and consolidation of the corporate service functions during May 2001.
