8 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK (I) Leasing Law (No: 3226) governs only Financial Lease. New Tax Law (No: 4842) allows Operating Lease but harmonization between these two laws are still needed.

Lessor change is permitted. Sub Leasing is not allowed. Movables and immovables can be leased (except industrial rights such as patent rights, software etc). Lease rentals can be fixed or floating and can be in TL and/or FX. Lessor is the legal owner of the asset. 8

9 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK (II) Leasing sector is governed Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA) since January, Contracts should be registered with notary public to secure the ownership rights of Lessor. Lessor is obliged to take out insurance, Lessee should pay the insurance premium. In case of default 30 or 60 days grace.

11 DRAFT NEW LEASING LAW Operating Leasing. Sale and Lease Back. Sub Leasing. Software Leasing.

Registration of lease contract with Association meaning less bureaucracy than ex Notary Public application (but may be less legal strength). General and specific provision guidlines (similar to banks). 11

12 TURKEY S GENERAL POSITION DURING AND AFTER THE CRISIS (+) No subprime mortgage credit in Turkish finance sector. Rating of the credits are prudent. There is no bank 12% primary capital ratio. Transparency is very high comparing the other countries. Thank to BRSA. Acceptable level of risk for repayment or roll the existing loans in the finance sector. Political stability. (-) Although many positive and strong position in the market there are and expected some negative developments; (i.e. No direct effect but expected indirect effects). Liquidity problem because of credit crunch. Higher spreads, shorter maturities. Problem in reel sector with USD 75 bio. FX debt(open position risk as well). Presently current account deficit is 3% of GDP, amounting appx. USD 41 bio. end Increase in oil and energy prices might worsen the deficit(presently no problem). Decrease in portfolio quality, collection and default problems. GDP plans, inflation plans, FDI s 12

13 TURKISH LEASING SECTOR BEFORE - DURING AND AFTER CRISIS Turkish Leasing Sector Before Crisis Financial Sector consolidated (mainly banks and consequently leasing and factoring companies). FDI in financial and insurance sector. Partnership 50% (AK-Citi, TEB-Paribas, Garanti-GE). Partnership > 50% (Dis-Fortis, Finans-NBG, Deniz- Dexia,Abank-Alpha). Country rating still low but improved from B stagnant to BBpositive. Rapid margins decreases. Severe competition. Returns do not justify the customers risk rating. There is a demand for small ticket. Considerable Flow Business and Renting potential. New Leasing law draft is under consideration and sent to State Ministry from BRSA (Organizational issues have been circulated in January, 2007). New Mortgage Law has been introduced, leasing companies can finance houses via Mortgage for individuals. Low bad debt. Turkish Leasing Sector During and After Crisis New consolidation in finance sector including leasing. Some foreign investors might leave the country. More captive lessors to come to market (Volvo, Man, Hitachi/Enka, Caterpillar recently came). Country rating l came down to BB neutral from BB positive i.e. CDS increased meaning expensive borrowing. Competition edge is on long term funding. Spread seems second priority. In shorter terms (up to 1 year) severe competition comes from the Banks. Small-mid ticket vendor programs almost zero.no demand. New Leasing law Draft is under consideration and sent to Prime Ministry from Satate Minsitry. New Mortgage Law has been introduced, leasing companies can finance houses via Mortgage for individuals. Collection becomes problem. Higher bad debt. 13

14 PROSPECTS Improve margin via taking asset/rv risks (operating leasing,techfresh etc.). Asset Management and Risk Management will be crucial (Basel II to be applied within 3 years) (2008 postponed). We might see bigger deals via syndication. New financial openings like operating leasing, sale and leaseback, sub leasing, software leasing will increase the growth rate and penetration. Learning organizations (Dynamic and ongoing trainings). Technology investments (IT,software). Brokership will increase. Longer term funding /Specialization/Value Creation/ Innovation will differentiate the lessors. 14
