  4. Lease Finance: The Concept • “Conceptually, a lease may be defined as a contractual agreement between two parties namely Lessor (owner of the asset) and Lessee (User of the asset) in which the lessor provides an asset/equipment to the lessee for use over a period of time and in return the lessee provides periodical lease rentals to the lessor and at the end of lease period, the asset reverts to the lessor” • A lease is a contractual arrangement where the lessor grants the lessee the right to use an asset in return for periodical payments. • Leasing essentially involves the divorce of ownership from the economic use of an asset/equipment.

  5. Essential Elements of Lease: • Parties to the contract • Asset • Ownership separated from user • Term of lease • Lease Rentals • Modes of terminating lease: • The lease is renewed on a perpetual basis or for a definite period. • The asset reverts to the lessor. • The assets reverts to the lessor and the lessor sells it to a third party. • The lessor sells the asset to the lessee.

  6. STEPS IN LEASING:

  7. Classification of Lease: 1. Finance Lease and Operating Lease 2. Sales and Lease Back and Direct lease • Bipartite Lease • Tripartite Lease 3. Single Investor Lease and Leveraged Lease 4. Domestic Lease and International Lease • Import Lease • Cross Border Lease

  8. 1. Finance Lease and Operating Lease: • Finance Lease: • “According to the International Accounting Standard (IAS - 17), the finance lease is the one in which the lessor transfers to the lessee, substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset whether or not the title is eventually transferred”. • Key Features: • FL is suitable for ships, aircrafts, railway wagons, lands, buildings and heavy machines. • FL is long term, non cancellable lease agreements. • In FL the cost of an assets is fully amortized during primary lease period. • In FL, the lessee has an option to purchase the asset at the end of lease period. • FL is also called as “Full Pay Out Lease”. • Maintenance of asset is done by lessee.

  9. Operating Lease: • “According to the IAS - 17, an operating lease is one which is not a finance lease. In an operating lease, the lessor does not transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset and the cost of the assets is not fully amortized during the primary lease period”. • Key Features: • OL is useful in case of computers, office equipments, automobiles etc. • OL refers to short term lease agreement or the term of lease is always lesser than the economic life of an asset. • The primary lease period does not cover the cost of an asset. • Maintenance of asset is done by lessor. • OL is also called as “service lease”

  10. 2. Sale and lease back and Direct lease • Sale and lease back: • “In this, the owner of an asset sales it to the a leasing company (lessor) which leases it back to the owner (lessee)”. • For exp. Safe Deposite Vaults by Banks. • Direct Lease: A. Bipartite Lease: “In such lease, there are two parties in the lease transaction namely equipment supplier cum lessor and lessee”. B. Tripartite Lease: “In such lease, there are three parties in the lease agreement namely equipment supplier, lessor and lessee.

  11. 3. Single Investor Lease and Leveraged Lease: • Single investor lease: • In such lease, two parties namely lessor and lessee are included in lease transaction. • The leasing co’ (lessor) funds/finance the entire investment by an appropriate mix of debt and equity funds. • Leveraged Lease: • Three parties are involved in lease transaction namely Lessor (equity investor), Lender and Lessee.

  12. 4. Domestic Lease and International Lease: • Domestic Lease: • “A lease transaction is classified as domestic if all the parties to the agreement, namely equipment supplier, lessor and lessee are domiciled in the same country”. • International Lease: • “If the parties to the lease transaction are domiciled in different countries, its known as Int. Lease”. A. Import Lease: “In an import lease, the lessor and lessee are domiciled in the same country but the equipment supplier is located in a different country. B. Cross Border Lease: “it means the lessor and lessee are domiciled in different countries. The domicile of the supplier is immaterial in this case.
