• Using World Star’s proprietary model,maintenance adjusted aircraft residual valuesare projected
• Values from independent appraisers areanalyzed, with a “compare and contrast”approach
• Qualitative market analysis is conducted inhouse, with subscriptions to specialistaviation analytics companies
• All of World Star’s aircraft are analyzed on a by-transaction and by-portfolio basis, with concentration by asset,jurisdiction, lessee monitored
• The airline and asset risk reviews are amalgamated in the database, along with supplementary information andcommentary to provide a full picture of the status of each aircraft up to full portfolio level
• Regular dialogue and face-to-face meetingswith the airline
• Annual credit review - Audited yearlyfinancial accounts are required per the leaseagreements
• Company is compared with appropriatepeers to benchmark performance
• World Star has a weekly meeting to discusseach and every asset
World Star Aviation’s focus towards risk management is to identify, at the earliest possible stage, any potential negative developments with regards to airline credit, aircraft value or portfolio performance

“Alarm” Signals That an Airline May be in Difficulty
Desktop sources:• Trade/business press
• Financial performance decline
• Peers outperforming airline
• Airline fleet utilization reduction
• Political, economic and regulatory changes
Other sources:• Route changes/cancellations
• Aircraft maintenance delays
• Key staff leaving the company
• Suppliers and staff not being paid
• Return of leased aircraft and slowed newdeliveries
The key is close communication with the airline and to assist them wherever possible.It is mutually beneficial that aircraft are returned early instead of having to be repossessed.
World Star is a proactive company that seeks to manage potential situations before they arise
