Risks associated with the concentration of our lessees in certain geographical regions could harm our business.
 
Our business is exposed to local economic and political conditions that can influence the performance of lessees located in a particular region. Such adverse economic and political conditions include additional regulation or, in extreme cases, requisition. In 2008, the combination of unprecedented fuel price volatility, the inability of many companies to access the capital markets and a slowing economy has impacted the global aviation market, causing severe financial strain and a number of bankruptcies. The effect of these conditions on payments to us will be more or less pronounced, depending on the concentration of lessees in the region with adverse conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2008, lease rental revenues from lessees by region, were 46% in Europe, 13% in North America, 24% in Asia (including 10% in China and 7% in India), 7% in Latin America, and 10% in the Middle East and Africa.

Risks associated with the concentration of our lessees in certain geographical regions could harm our business.
 
Our business is exposed to local economic and political conditions that can influence the performance of lessees located in a particular region. Such adverse economic and political conditions include additional regulation or, in extreme cases, requisition. In 2008, the combination of an unprecedented rise in the price of fuel, inability of many companies to access the capital markets and a slowing economy has impacted the global aviation market, causing a number of bankruptcies and severely weakening the financial position of others. The effect of these conditions on payments to us will be more or less pronounced, depending on the concentration of lessees in the region with adverse conditions. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, lease rental revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, from lessees in the following regions, were 45% in Europe, 12% in North America, 24% in Asia (including 9% in China and 10% in India), 8% in Latin America, and 10% in the Middle East and Africa.
