Most of the leases are for a substantial part of the equipment''s useful life, and therefore consumer the lessee needs credit to be very credit-worthy. Often the lessor will be in different jurisdictions than the organizations lessee, and Citicorp will determine the optimum consumer jurisdiction after taking into consideration credit the tax impact on the lessee of entering organizations into the transaction. Principal investor jurisdictions include the U.S., Germany, Japan, the U.K. and France. Since leases are treated in many countries as off balance sheet finance, consumer Citicorp has also designed some shorter term lease structures which we intended to be treated as leases for accounting purposes, but may be loans for tax purposes. Such leases credit allow a company to raise 100% finance, pay low rentals and have an option to acquire the equipment in the future at a predetermined price. This will result in an improvement in the income statement without a balance sheet impact. There will be some disclosure of lease rates which rating agencies will use organizations to increase liabilities.
