Interim aircraft loans and first mortgage real estate loans represent a major part of the new financing in 1990 and account for about 40 percent of the portfolio, Over the last several years, the company has devel-oped expertise in aircraf t leasing and interim loan financ.

Ing to build a portfoho that is nearly 60 percent invested in commercial aircraft and equipment. The aircraft port-foho is concentrated on newer, higher quahty, more versa-tile, widebody airplanes meeting higher noise standards Progress Credit has attempted to reduce its underwnting risk by financing aircraft for several airline carriers and through obtaining third party guaranties of loans and lease:,when appropriate.

Through 1990, Progress Credit has reked on Florida Progress' downstream holding company, Progress Cap:tal Holdings, Inc., to provide the necessary capital to fund Progress Credit's business. Since Progress Capital Holdings is the financing company for all of the diversified opera-tions, it _is necessary to maintain financial flexibility to meet the needs of its subsidiaries. In the future, Florida Progress plans to limit the amount of new capital from Progress Capital Holdings to Progress Credit. Since new capital would be needed to produce continuing earnings growth, Progress Credit is planning to study outside fund- ~

The business of the Company's largest subsidiary, Florida Power, is seasonal in nature and it is management's opinion that comparisons of earnings for the quarters do not give a true indication of overall trends and changes in the Company's operations. As explained in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Florida Power reversed $14.8 million of interim depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 1990 previously recorded in the first three quarters of the year.
