          As of April 6, 2001, 53,627,969 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding.

The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements.

(continued on next page)

1. The sole assets of the Trust are convertible subordinated debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $250 million, which bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and mature on November 15, 2030. Upon repayment of the debentures, the Continental-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust will be mandatorily redeemed.

The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements.

The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements.

     In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Annual Report of Continental Airlines, Inc. (the "Company" or "Continental") on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (the "2000 10-K").

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year's financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

     The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions):

     As shown in the following table, Continental's aircraft fleet consisted of 375 jets, 106 regional jets and 67 turboprop aircraft at March 31, 2001. Continental's purchase commitments as of March 31, 2001 are also shown below.

     The Company anticipates taking delivery of 36 Boeing jet aircraft in 2001 (four of which were placed in service during the first quarter of 2001) and the remainder of its firm orders through November 2005. The Company plans to retire 14 jet aircraft in 2001.

     The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Continental Express, Inc. ("Express") anticipates taking delivery of 41 Embraer regional jet aircraft in 2001 (ten of which were delivered in the first quarter of 2001) and the remainder of its firm orders through the first quarter of 2005. The Company plans to retire 20 turboprop aircraft in 2001.

     In April 2001, the Company priced an offering of $709 million of pass-through certificates at an average rate of 6.7% (including hedge). The proceeds will be used to finance (through either leveraged leases or secured debt financings) the debt portion of the acquisition cost of 21 new Boeing aircraft. These aircraft are scheduled for delivery from October 2001 to March 2002.

    As of March 31, 2001, the estimated aggregate cost of the Company's firm commitments for Boeing aircraft is approximately $4 billion. Continental currently plans to finance its new Boeing aircraft with a combination of enhanced pass through trust certificates, lease equity and other third-party financing, subject to availability and market conditions. As of March 31, 2001, Continental had approximately $679 million in financing arranged for such future Boeing deliveries. At that date, Continental also had commitments or letters of intent for backstop financing for approximately 19% of the anticipated remaining acquisition cost of such Boeing deliveries. In addition, at March 31, 2001, Continental had firm commitments to purchase 25 spare engines related to the new Boeing aircraft for approximately $150 million which will be deliverable through March 2005. However, further financing will be needed to satisfy the Company's capital commitments for other aircraft and aircraft-related expenditures such as engines, spare parts, simulators and related items. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available for all aircraft and other capital expenditures not covered by firm financing commitments. Deliveries of new Boeing aircraft are expected to continue to increase aircraft rental, depreciation and interest costs while generating cost savings in the areas of maintenance, fuel and pilot training.

     As of March 31, 2001, the estimated aggregate cost of Express's firm commitments for Embraer regional jets was approximately $3 billion. Neither Express nor Continental will have any obligation to take any such firm Embraer aircraft that are not financed by a third party and leased to Continental.

     On November 15, 2000, Continental entered into a number of agreements with Northwest Airlines Corporation ("Northwest") and some of its affiliates to, among other things, repurchase approximately 6.7 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class A common stock"), owned by Northwest and an affiliate and reclassify all issued shares of Class A common stock into Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class B common stock"). In addition, the agreements provided for

• other adjustments to Continental's corporate and alliance relationship with Northwest Airlines, Inc. ("Northwest Airlines"),

• Continental's issuance to Northwest Airlines of one share of preferred stock, designated as Series B preferred stock ("Series B preferred stock") with blocking rights relating to certain change of control transactions involving Continental, and

• certain modifications to Continental's rights plan.

The transactions closed on January 22, 2001. The consideration paid to repurchase the Class A common stock owned by Northwest and to reclassify the issued Class A common stock to Class B common stock was accounted for as an equity transaction. Under the agreements relating to the recapitalization, Continental and Northwest agreed to seek dismissal of the antitrust litigation brought by the U.S. Department of Justice against Northwest and Continental, which dismissal was granted on January 22, 2001.

     Repurchase of Shares of Class A Common Stock. On January 22, 2001, Continental repurchased from Northwest and an affiliate 6,685,279 shares of Continental Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million in cash (or approximately $67 per share).

     The shares repurchased represented approximately 77% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock owned by Northwest, excluding shares subject to a limited proxy held by Northwest. This limited proxy terminated upon the closing of the recapitalization. After giving effect to the repurchase and the reclassification of the issued shares of Class A common stock into Class B common stock, Northwest's general voting power with respect to Continental was reduced from approximately 59.6% to approximately 7.2%. This percentage does not include the share of Series B preferred stock issued to Northwest Airlines in the recapitalization, which does not have general voting rights but instead has a special class vote on certain change of control transactions as described below. Northwest subsequently disposed of all of its remaining Class B common stock.

     Reclassification of Shares of Class A Common Stock. At the effective time of the recapitalization, the remaining 1,975,945 shares of Class A common stock owned by Northwest that Continental did not purchase, as well as all other issued shares of Class A common stock, were reclassified into Class B common stock at an exchange rate of 1.32 shares of Class B common stock per share of Class A common stock.

     Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock. In connection with the transactions described above, including the amendment of the master alliance agreement between the Company and Northwest Airlines, Continental issued to Northwest Airlines one share of Series B preferred stock for consideration of $100 in cash. The Series B preferred stock gives Northwest Airlines the right to vote, as a separate class, during the term of the master alliance agreement or, if earlier, until the Series B preferred stock becomes redeemable, on:

• any amendment to article seven of Continental's certificate of incorporation which relates, in general, to the requirement to obtain the approval of the holder of the Series B preferred stock to amend Continental's rights agreement;

• certain business combinations and similar change of control transactions involving Continental and a third party major air carrier with respect to which the stockholders of Continental are entitled to vote;

• any dividend or distribution of all or substantially all of Continental's airline assets; and

• certain reorganizations and restructuring transactions involving Continental.

     Except for the right to vote on any amendment to Continental's certificate of incorporation that would adversely affect the Series B preferred stock, and on any other matter as may be required by law, the Series B preferred stock does not have any other voting rights.

     Purchase of Right of First Offer. In connection with the recapitalization, Continental paid 1992 Air, Inc. $10 million in cash for its right of first offer to purchase the shares of Class A common stock that the Company purchased from Northwest (which right terminated immediately after the recapitalization). 1992 Air, Inc. is an affiliate of David Bonderman, one of Continental's directors.

     The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements. In connection therewith, please see the risk factors set forth in the Company's 2000 10-K which identify important matters such as the Company's high leverage and significant financing needs, its historical operating results, the significant cost of aircraft fuel, labor costs, certain tax matters, general economic conditions, the Japanese economy and currency risk, competition and industry conditions, regulatory matters and the seasonal nature of the airline business, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

     Continental's results of operations are impacted by seasonality (the second and third quarters are generally stronger than the first and fourth quarters) as well as numerous other factors, including those listed above, that are not necessarily seasonal. The airline industry is currently experiencing a decline in traffic, particularly business traffic (which has a higher yield than leisure traffic), due to general economic conditions. Management anticipates that softening economic conditions, domestically and globally, will continue to put pressure on the industry and the Company while those conditions continue. However, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond to market conditions in the event of a sustained economic downturn due to its flexible fleet plan, a strong cash balance and a well developed alliance network.

     The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's results of operations and reasons for material changes therein for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the corresponding period in 2000.

     The Company recorded consolidated net income of $9 million for the first quarter of 2001 as compared to consolidated net income of $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

     Passenger revenue increased 7.9%, $169 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, which was principally due to an improvement in yield.

     Wages, salaries and related costs increased 12.8%, $86 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, primarily due to a 6.6% increase in average full-time equivalent employees to support increased flying, higher wage rates and increased employee incentives.

     Aircraft fuel expense increased 3.3%, $11 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average jet fuel price per gallon increased 3.2% from 82.89 cents in the first quarter of 2000 to 85.58 cents in the first quarter of 2001. Jet fuel consumption decreased 2.1%, even with increased flight operations, principally reflecting the fuel efficiency of the Company's younger fleet.

     Aircraft rentals increased 3.9%, $8 million, due to the delivery of new aircraft.

     Landing fees and other rentals increased 9.3%, $12 million, primarily due to higher facilities rent and landing fees resulting from rate increases and increased operations.

     Reservations and sales increased 11.3%, $13 million, in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000 primarily due to higher credit card fees resulting from increased sales and increased booking fees.

     Commissions expense decreased 13.5%, $18 million, during 2001 as compared to 2000 due to a lower volume of commissionable sales and lower rates resulting from international commission caps.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased 10.5%, $10 million, in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000 due principally to an increase in ground equipment.

     Other operating expense increased 11.2%, $32 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of increases in outsourced services and other miscellaneous expense.

     Interest expense increased 14.3%, $9 million, due to an increase in long-term debt primarily resulting from the purchase of new aircraft.

     Interest income decreased 28.6%, $6 million, due to lower average balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and lower interest rates.

     The Company's other nonoperating income (expense) in the three months ended March 31, 2001 included the Company's equity in the net losses of certain investments of $6 million and net losses of $6 million related to the portion of fuel hedges excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (primarily option time value).

     Other nonoperating income (expense) in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 included net losses of $9 million related to the portion of fuel hedges excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (primarily option time value).

     An analysis of statistical information for Continental's jet operations, excluding regional jets, for the periods indicated is as follows:

     Continental has entered into block-space arrangements with certain other carriers whereby one or both of the carriers is obligated to purchase capacity on the other. The table above does not include the statistics for the capacity that was purchased by another carrier.

__________________

1. The number of scheduled miles flown by revenue passengers.
2. The number of seats available for passengers multiplied by the number of scheduled miles those seats are flown.
3. Revenue passenger miles divided by available seat miles.
4. The percentage of seats that must be occupied by revenue passengers in order for the airline to break even on an income before income taxes basis, excluding nonrecurring charges, nonoperating items and other special items.
5. The average revenue received for each mile a revenue passenger is carried.
6. The average number of hours per day that an aircraft flown in revenue service is operated (from gate departure to gate arrival).

     As of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had $1.0 billion and $1.4 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $52 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in operating income and changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities increased $363 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of proceeds from the sale of short-term investments received in the first quarter of 2000. Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in the prior year increased $182 million primarily due to the purchase of redeemable common stock and an increase in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt.

     In January 2001, the Company obtained a 3-year $200 million pre-delivery credit facility to be used to finance manufacturer progress payments on new Boeing aircraft.

     In April 2001, the Company expects to complete an offering of $709 million of pass-through certificates at an average rate of 6.7% (including hedge). The proceeds will be used to finance (through either leveraged leases or secured debt financings) the debt portion of the acquisition cost of 21 new aircraft. These aircraft are scheduled for delivery from October 2001 to March 2002.

     Deferred Tax Assets. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had deferred tax assets aggregating $677 million, including $366 million related to net operating losses ("NOLs"), and a valuation allowance of $263 million.

     Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 382") imposes limitations on a corporation's ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an "ownership change". In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. In the event that an ownership change occurred, utilization of Continental's NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of the Company's stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax exempt interest rate (which was 5.24% for March 2001). Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years, and the amount of the limitation may under certain circumstances be increased by the built-in gains in assets held by the Company at the time of the change that are recognized in the five year period after the change. Under current conditions, if an ownership change were to occur, Continental's annual NOL utilization would be limited to approximately $117 million per year other than through the recognition of future built-in gain transactions.

     In November 1998, Northwest completed its acquisition of certain equity of the Company previously held by Air Partners, L.P. and its affiliates, together with certain Class A common stock of the Company held by other investors, totaling 8,661,224 shares of the Class A common stock. On January 22, 2001, Continental repurchased 6,685,279 shares of Continental Class A common stock from Northwest and an affiliate. In addition, each issued share of Continental Class A common stock was reclassified into 1.32 shares of Class B common stock in a nontaxable transaction. The Company does not believe that these transactions resulted in an ownership change for purposes of Section 382.

     Purchase Commitments. Continental has substantial commitments for capital expenditures, including for the acquisition of new aircraft. See Note 3.

     Continental expects its cash outlays for 2001 capital expenditures, exclusive of fleet plan requirements, to aggregate approximately $300 million (net of financings), primarily relating to software application and automation infrastructure projects, aircraft modifications and mandatory maintenance projects, passenger terminal facility improvements and office, maintenance, telecommunications and ground equipment. Continental's capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2001 aggregated $55 million (net of financings), exclusive of fleet plan expenditures.

     The Company expects to fund its future capital commitments through internally generated funds together with general Company financings and aircraft financing transactions. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available for all aircraft and other capital expenditures not covered by firm financing commitments.

     Other. In July 2000, the Company completed a three-year program bringing all employees to industry standard wages and announced and began to implement a phased plan to bring employee benefits to industry standard levels by 2003. The plan provides for increases in vacation, paid holidays, increased 401(k) Company matching contributions and additional past service retirement credit for most senior employees.

     In March 2000, Continental Micronesia, Inc. ("CMI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Continental, and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") began collective bargaining negotiations to amend the CMI flight attendants' contract (which became amendable in June 2000). The parties reached a tentative agreement, which was not ratified by the flight attendants. Negotiations resumed in 2001. The Company continues to believe that mutually acceptable agreements can be reached with such employees, although the ultimate outcome of the negotiations is unknown at this time.

     Continental's pilots voted to merge their independent union, the Independent Association of Continental Pilots, into the Air Line Pilots Association ("ALPA"). The merger, which is subject to approval of the executive committee of ALPA, would be effective June 1, 2001.

     Management believes that the Company's costs are likely to be affected in the future by (i) higher aircraft ownership costs as new aircraft are delivered, (ii) higher wages, salaries and related costs as the Company continues compensating its employees comparable to industry average and begins providing industry-average benefits, (iii) changes in the costs of materials and services (in particular, the cost of fuel, which can fluctuate significantly in response to global market conditions), (iv) changes in distribution costs and structure, (v) changes in governmental regulations and taxes affecting air transportation and the costs charged for airport access, including new security requirements, (vi) changes in the Company's fleet and related capacity and (vii) the Company's continuing efforts to reduce costs throughout its operations, including reduced maintenance costs for new aircraft, reduced distribution expense from using electronic ticketing and the internet for bookings, and reduced interest expense.

     See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Continental's 2000 10-K.

     United Stated of America v. Northwest Airlines Corp. & Continental Airlines, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division. As described above in Note 4 and as more fully detailed in the 2000 10-K, the U.S. District Court entered an order dismissing this litigation on January 22, 2001.

As previously disclosed in connection with the Company's special meeting of stockholders on January 22, 2001, the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated on January 22, 2001 to:

• Reclassify each issued share of Class A common stock as 1.32 shares of Class B common stock having one vote per share; and

• Reduce the Company's authorized capital stock to 210 million shares, par value $.01 per share, of which 10 million is Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") and 200 million is Class B common stock.

     The Board of Directors retained the authority to designate series of Preferred Stock and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

     In addition to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock designated by the Board in 1998 in connection with the Company's rights plan, the Board of Directors established the Series B Preferred Stock, consisting of one share, which was issued to Northwest Airlines as a part of the transaction in which the Company repurchased a significant portion of its Class A common stock from affiliates of Northwest Airlines just prior to the recapitalization discussed above. The Series B preferred stock gives Northwest Airlines a separate class vote in the event of certain change of control transactions involving Continental. Under certain circumstances, the Series B preferred stock may be redeemed by Continental for its liquidation preference of $100.

     The Series B preferred stock has a separate class vote with respect to the amendment of Continental's rights agreement or the redemption of the preferred stock purchase rights thereunder to permit a third party major air carrier to enter into certain transactions that would, but for the amendment or redemption, result in its becoming an acquiring person under the rights agreement.

     Until the Series B preferred stock becomes redeemable, Continental will take all necessary action to have in effect a rights agreement with terms and conditions identical in all material respects to the terms and conditions of its amended and restated rights agreement and to issue the rights created thereunder.

     Our rights agreement was amended and restated, effective upon the recapitalization, to:

• take into account the effects of the recapitalization;

• eliminate Northwest Airlines' status under the rights agreement as a person who could not trigger the rights agreement;

• change the rights agent under the rights agreement to Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, LLC (now known as Mellon Investor Services LLC); and

• address the status of AXA Financial, Inc. and its affiliates under the rights agreement with respect to its ownership of Class B common stock as a result of the recapitalization.

     The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on January 22, 2001. A proposal to adopt an amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company in connection with a proposed recapitalization was voted on by the stockholders as follows:

None.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter Agreement amends Purchase Agreement No. 1951 dated July 23, 1996(the Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Continental Airlines, Inc. (Buyer) relating to Model 737-724 aircraft (the Aircraft). This Letter Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety Letter Agreement 1951-9R8 dated May 16, 2000.

All terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement.

1. Delivery.

The Option Aircraft will be delivered to Buyer during or before the months set forth in the following schedule:

Month and Year Number of

of Delivery   Option Aircraft

3. Price.

3. Option Aircraft Deposit.

In the event that Buyer does not exercise its option to purchase a particular Option Aircraft pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option Deposit for such Option Aircraft.

4. Option Exercise.

To exercise its option to purchase the Option Aircraft, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Boeing on or before the first business day of the month in each Option Exercise Date shown below:

Option Aircraft Option Exercise Date

5. Contract Terms.

Within thirty (30) days after Buyer exercises an option to purchase Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 4 above, Boeing and Buyer will use their best reasonable efforts to enter into a supplemental agreement amending the Agreement to add the applicable Option Aircraft to the Agreement as a firm Aircraft (the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement).

In the event the parties have not entered into such an Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement within the time period contemplated herein, either party shall have the right, exercisable by written or telegraphic notice given to the other within ten (10) days after such period, to cancel the purchase of such Option Aircraft.

6. Cancellation of Option to Purchase.

Either Boeing or Buyer may cancel the option to purchase an Option Aircraft if any of the following events are not accomplished by the respective dates contemplated in this Letter Agreement, or in the Agreement, as the case may be:

(i) purchase of the Aircraft under the Agreement for any reason not attributable to the cancelling party;

(ii) payment by Buyer of the Option Deposit with respect to such Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 3 herein; or

(iii) exercise of the option to purchase such Option Aircraft pursuant to the terms hereof.

Any cancellation of an option to purchase by Boeing which is based on the termination of the purchase of an Aircraft under the Agreement shall be on a one-for-one basis, for each Aircraft so terminated.

Cancellation of an option to purchase provided by this letter agreement shall be caused by either party giving written notice to the other within ten (10) days after the respective date in question. Upon receipt of such notice, all rights and obligations of the parties with respect to an Option Aircraft for which the option to purchase has been cancelled shall thereupon terminate.

Boeing shall promptly refund to Buyer, without interest, any payments received from Buyer with respect to the affected Option Aircraft. Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option Deposit unless cancellation is attributable to Boeing's fault, in which case the Option Deposit shall also be returned to Buyer without interest.

This Letter Agreement amends Purchase Agreement No. 1951 dated July 23, 1996(the Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Continental Airlines, Inc. (Buyer) relating to Model 737-824 aircraft (the Aircraft). This Letter Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety Letter Agreement 1951-3R13 dated December 21, 2000.

In consideration of Boeing's grant to Buyer of options to purchase the Option Aircraft as set forth herein, Buyer has paid a deposit to Boeing of $200,000 for each Option Aircraft (the Option Deposit) prior to the date of this Letter Agreement. In the event Buyer exercises an option herein for an Option Aircraft, the amount of the Option Deposit for such Option Aircraft will be credited against the first advance payment due for such Option Aircraft pursuant to the advance payment schedule set forth in Article 5 of the Agreement.

In the event that Buyer does not exercise its option to purchase a particular Option Aircraft pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option Deposit for such Option Aircraft.

To exercise its option to purchase the Option Aircraft, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Boeing on or before the first business day of the month in each Option Exercise Date shown below:

(ii) payment by Buyer of the Option Deposit with respect to such Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 3 herein; or

(iii) exercise of the option to purchase such Option Aircraft pursuant to the terms hereof.

Any cancellation of an option to purchase by Boeing which is based on the termination of the purchase of an Aircraft under the Agreement shall be on a one-for-one basis, for each Aircraft so terminated.

Cancellation of an option to purchase provided by this letter agreement shall be caused by either party giving written notice to the other within ten (10) days after the respective date in question. Upon receipt of such notice, all rights and obligations of the parties with respect to an Option Aircraft for which the option to purchase has been cancelled shall thereupon terminate.

Boeing shall promptly refund to Buyer, without interest, any payments received from Buyer with respect to the affected Option Aircraft.
