Types of Financial Leases
Direct leases Lessor purchased equipment or asset and rented it out to
lessee
Sale-and-leaseback Leveraged leases
Lessor borrowed money to fund part of purchase of assets, pledging the lease contract as security for the loan
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200826

IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200827
Rely on Federal Sources
Could use federal monies to fund equipment purchases
Congress.., Mandated not to use federal subsidies for operating
expenses Agreed to fund for capital appropriations
Federal grants considered as premium and precious commodity
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200828
Rely on Federal Sources
Preferred to use grant money to fund capital projects that could not be easily and cost-effectively financed such as..,
Safety Right-of-way Infrastructure-related projects Major overhauls
Train sets and other rolling stock, could be very efficiently financed through capital markets

Closed end and open end lease – ownership possibilities opened to lessee Swap lease – exchange assets in need of major repairs Full pay-out lease True lease – fully goes with the local rules and regulations of a country Wash lease – tax benefit transferred to investor Upgrade lease – used in obsolescence Capital lease – to transfer ownership to lessee at the end of lease term Employee lease – transferring employees to Lessor and leasing it back
19
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200837
Why Leasing?
Benefits to lessee.., Leasing 100% financing Offers cash flow benefits Off balance sheet financing Avoidance of loan covenants Tax planning Creation of working capital Hedge against risk of inflation and obsolescence Fast and flexible financing To over come monopoly act Used in non-priority sector and service sector
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200838
Why Leasing?
Benefits to lessor.., Additional financial product Reduces risk Increases profitability Accelerates sales Higher leverage [Max. of 10:1] No gestation period Low cost of operations

IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200839
Discussion Question
What is the problem in the case?
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200840
Problems in the Case
To choose among three financing options Debt Lease financing US govt. funding
Use of federal monies is neither preferred nor practical
Amtrak .., Never been profitable Should become self sufficient by 2002 (3 years away)
Acela the key to self sufficiency [investment decision has been already made]
21
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200841
Discussion Question
What is financial lease? How does it work?
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200842
Test for Capitalizing Lease
Ownership test: ownership transferred to lessee at the end of lease
Alternative ownership test: lessee has right to buy asset at a price substantially below fair market price
Economic life test: lease term >= 75% of estimated economic life of the asset
Value test: PV of minimum lease payment >= 90% of fair market value of asset at the time of lease
22
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200843
Discussion Question
Which alternative to choose? What are the key bets in the decision?
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200844
Lease vs. Buying
Lease financing Increases company’s debt capacity Public market is saturated with Amtrak debt Also includes interest component Investors will not recognize a financial lease liability as a form of
debt? Liabilities: PV of financial lease payments Assets: PV of financial lease payments
Possibility of increasing book income buy avoiding depreciation and interest?
Lease payments includes depreciation and interest Possibility of evading capital-expenditures To avoid capital-approval procedures
23
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200845
Discussion Question
Is there really a difference between formally owning an asset, on the one hand, and being
entitled full use of the asset even without formal ownership, on the other?
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200846
Lease vs. Buying
In world of no taxes; leasing = borrow-and-buy Lease amount higher or lower indifference
point would result in value destruction for both parties
24
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200847
Difference between Lessor and Lessee Creating More Value for Lease
Tax rate differences between lessor and lessee Realizing depreciation deduction by lessor and lessee Asset acquisition and maintenance cost –
specialization or scale of economies Realizing salvage values – superiority of property
knowledge Leverage abilities between lessor and lessee –
difference in interest deductibility
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200848
Discussion Question
What, in your view, are the advantages of leasing over debt and vice versa?
Instances in which leasing makes sense?

What happens to the decision on NPV when Amtrak start making profit and starts claiming
any tax shields?

IIMI/PGP/Finance II/200855
NPV Analysis of Lease vs. Borrow-and-Buy
Assumed tax rate: 38% Tax shields on lease payments are no longer zero Interest and depreciation tax shields are also positive
Discount rate: after tax cost of debt NPV advantage on leasing is eliminated when taxes
are assumed Better to borrow and buy Leasing makes sense; when lessor can use tax shields
more effectively than lessee

Advantages of Leasing Over Debt
Little options holding significant value Lessor can purchase equipment more cost
effectively; tax deductions for.., Interest Depreciation
Tailored to meet lessor’s needs – heavier payments in Dec than in June
