Asset Exchange's experience, flexibility and knowledge allow us to meet your varied needs with an array of financing programs. These include:

Capital Lease

A Capital Lease is a lease that has the characteristics of a purchase and also meets certain criteria established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Such a lease is required to be shown as an asset on the balance sheet of the lessee and to be depreciated or capitalized over the term of the lease.

Benefits of a Capital Lease:

A major benefit of a Capital Lease is the many options available to the lessee at the middle and end of the lease. For example a Capital Lease can be designed with the following flexible options:

Mid-Term Options:

• Terminate the lease if the project ends
• Upgrade if needs expand
• Refinance to reduce monthly payment
• End-of-Lease Options

• Purchase equipment at a fixed price
• Return equipment to the lesser
• Operating Leases

Equipment subject to an Operating Lease is not required to be shown on the balance sheet of the Lessee. The Lessor makes a significant investment in the equipment, thereby assuming the risk of obsolescence, which reduces the lease payments that the Lessee is required to make.

Benefits of an Operating Lease

In addition to the "off-balance sheet" benefits to the Lessee, an Operating Lease provides flexibility through the many options available to the lessee at the middle and end of the lease. For example an Operating Lease can be designed with the following flexible options:

Mid-Term Options:

• Terminate the lease if the project ends
• Upgrade if needs expand
• Refinance to reduce monthly payment
• End-of-Lease Options

• Purchase equipment at a Fair Market Value
• Return equipment to the lessor
• Extend the lease on a month to month basis
• Renew the lease for a fixed term
• Finance Lease

A Finance Lease (a type of Capital Lease) which does not qualify for Operating Lease accounting treatment under the requirements of FASB Statement 13. For financial accounting purposes, the lease agreement is treated as an installment loan, and the equipment treated as an asset, depreciated over its economic useful life. A finance lease generally has a term in excess of 36 months, and is usually structured with fixed price purchase options for the equipment at the end of the lease.

Benefits of a Finance Lease:

Installment loan-type financing can be provided without a down payment requirement

Fixed price or fair market value purchase option at the end of the lease

Longer lease terms can reduce monthly payments

Purchase/Leaseback

A Purchase/Leaseback transaction is used to provide lease financing for equipment that the customer has already taken title to. The lessor purchases the equipment from the customer for a specified price, generally the current fair market value of the equipment, and leases it back to the customer at a mutually agreeable rate and lease term.

Benefits of a Purchase/Leaseback Transaction:

• Frees up cash to be used in other areas of the business
• Transfers the risk of technological obsolescence to the lessor
• Can provide more favorable accounting and tax treatment
• Minimizes impact on the customer's bank lines of credit
