Stable Operating Model Low risk and stable operating model Investors funds not invested in risky investments. Company invests only in young new technology aircraft. Global reach, not dependent on domestic market. Aircraft are movable assets and can be transferred (unlike real estate) to airline customers among any of world regions during times of distress. They are also very liquid and allowing owners to recoup their investment in aircraft by either selling the aircraft as a whole or by breaking it into parts. Air transport is an efficient, safe and the most important mode of transport commanding a 51% share of the global transport market. 6

Achievements ALAFCO key milestones ALAFCO has now successfully operated in the fleet leasing market for over 12 years. During this period, the key performance milestones and highlights are as follows: Grew fleet to 46 owned aircraft and 3 managed aircraft. All of these aircraft are leased to customers All ordered aircraft due for delivery until 2011 have been delivered to customers. Always capable to obtain financing for aircraft even during global financial crises. ALAFCO today has an order book of 117 aircraft. Six A350-900 already placed with Thai Airways for 12 years lease. All leases performing as per their contracts. We had Kuwait based Wataniya Airways default on 3 A320-200 aircraft leases, but those aircraft have been re-leased to another operator and our losses have been minimized. It can be seen that ALAFCO has developed significant capability to manage the aircraft purchase and fleet leasing process and this is reflected in market confidence as demonstrated by the share price appreciation. 9

ALAFCO is committed to excellence in corporate governance and maintains clear policies and practices that promote good corporate governance. We are the first Kuwaiti company who complied with the recent Kuwaiti Commercial law by separating the Chairman and the CEO position. We have the highest confidence in our financial reporting, underlying system of internal controls and our people, who are objective in their responsibilities and operate under the highest level of ethical standards. We believe that strengthening the management monitoring functions by inviting outside directors and outside corporate auditors contributes to the strengthening of our corporate governance and that this is appropriate for securing the confidence of shareholders, investors and others. 14
Listing On Foreign Exchange Feasibility study of listing on foreign exchange on-going Issuers from a wide variety of geographies have successfully raised international equity recently. A secondary listing on foreign exchange would enhance ALAFCO s visibility, increase research coverage and thus provide access to a wider international investor base. A listing on foreign exchange would maximize investor interest given the presence of similar listed companies and the strong investor knowledge of the airline leasing sector. Public lessors have performed strongly in 2012 as strength of credit markets lowered the cost of debt and gave investors confidence to invest in equity markets. 15
