DFI-Bkg 3.05(3)(a)2.2. Become the owner and lessor of personal property by purchasing the property from another lessor in connection with its purchase of the related lease. DFI-Bkg 3.05(3)(a)3.3. Incur obligations incidental to its position as the legal or beneficial owner and lessor of the leased property. DFI-Bkg 3.05(3)(b)(b) Any unguaranteed portion of the estimated residual value relied upon by the bank to yield a full return on a net, full-payout lease may not exceed 25% of the original cost of the property to the lessor. The amount of any estimated value guaranteed by a manufacturer, lessee or a third party which is not an affiliate of the bank may exceed 25% of the original cost of the property where the bank has determined, and can provide, full supporting documentation that the guarantor has the resources to meet the guarantee. DFI-Bkg 3.05(3)(c)(c) Calculations of estimated residual value of net, full-payout leases of personal property to federal, state or local government entities may be based on reasonably anticipated future transactions or renewals. DFI-Bkg 3.05(3)(d)(d) In all net, full-payout leases, both the estimated residual value of the property and that portion of the estimated residual value relied upon by the lessor to satisfy the requirements of a full-payout lease must be reasonable in light of the nature of the leased property and all relevant circumstances so that realization of the lessor’s full investment plus the cost of financing the property primarily depends on the creditworthiness of the lessee and any guarantor of the residual value, and not on the residual market value of the leased item. DFI-Bkg 3.05 NoteNote: In operating under this rule it is anticipated that banks will estimate the total cost of financing the property over the term of the lease to reflect, among other factors, the term of the lease, the modes of financing available to the lessor, the credit rating of each lessor and lessee involved in the transaction and prevailing rates in the money and capital markets. Where the calculation of the cost of financing according to this formula is not reasonably determinable, a lease may be considered to have met the test for recovering the cost financing if the bank’s yield from the lease is equivalent to what the yield would be on a similar loan. In all cases, both the estimated residual value of the property and that portion of the estimated residual value relied upon by the lessor to satisfy the requirements of a full-payout lease must be reasonable in light of the nature of the leased property and all relevant circumstances so that realization of the lessor’s full investment plus the cost of financing the property primarily depends on the creditworthiness of the lessee and any guarantor of the residual value, and not on the residual market value of the leased item.
