New Tools for Aircraft Risk Traders, Risk Managers and Investors on
AircraftRisk.com

       BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 2003--The RISConsulting Group
LLC (RISC), a transactional consulting firm specializing in complex
risk, announces the introduction of two new models to AircraftRisk.com
(www.aircraftrisk.com), its aircraft finance industry website.
       The revised EETC Model is designed to assist investors in
performing analysis of over 50 pre-programmed EETC issues and is
available in deterministic and stochastic versions. The deterministic
version allows the user to enter an individual scenario by specifying
various assumptions (e.g., aircraft valuations, interest rates,
performing asset designation and liquidation timing - in the case of
default). The model then generates output that reflects the financial
impact (e.g., losses and returns) to the various tranches for the
specified scenario. The stochastic version of the EETC model
automatically generates properly correlated values for all of the key
assumptions in order to develop a probabilistic distribution of issue
results (e.g., losses and returns).
       The new Aircraft Loan Model is designed to support the analysis of
user-specified loans that are secured by any of over 70 different
types of commercial aircraft. To use this model, the user must enter a
description of the loan to be evaluated, such as principal amount,
amortization schedule, credit rating of the borrower, type and year of
build of the collateral aircraft, and choice of appraiser. The
Aircraft Loan Model then combines rigorous, properly correlated
stochastic analyses of borrower default and of underlying aircraft
market values to estimate the full distribution of potential outcomes
for the loan specified.

       Model output includes:

       --  An analysis of loan principal at risk (i.e., potential credit
        losses) over time,

       --  An analysis of losses given default,

       --  A presentation of model-generated credit (loan) risk in rating
        equivalent terms,

       --  An analysis of expected losses, and

       --  An estimate of capital required at any specified confidence
        interval.

       RISC's modeling methodology incorporates strict scientific
analytical disciplines as well as input from clients, industry,
academia, rating agencies, insurance underwriters and actuaries. By
relying on RISC's modeling process, AircraftRisk.com models should
prove valuable aids not only to traders and investors, but also to
those involved in valuing and risk assessing assets for reserving and
risk-based capital estimation.
