KEY RATIOS


Capital



31 December 2018



Our capital ratio calculated in accordance

with the 2010 Regulations*


42%


Minimum capital ratio required by our

Trust Deed


8% if we have a credit rating**, or

15% if we do not have a credit rating


Minimum capital ratio that must be

included in the trust deed under reg 8(2) of

the 2010 Regulations*


8% if we have a credit rating, or

10% if we do not have a credit rating


The capital ratio is a measure of the extent to which General Finance is able to absorb losses without becoming

insolvent. The lower the capital ratio, the fewer financial assets General Finance has to absorb unexpected losses

arising out of its business activities.


































* Deposit Takers (Credit Ratings, Capital Ratios, and Related Party Exposures) Regulations 2010


** The creditworthiness of the General Finance is not rated by an approved rating agency. This is because we

operate under the Deposit Takers (Credit Ratings Minimum Threshold) Exemption Notice 2016, exempting us from

the Non-bank Deposit Taker Act 2013 requirement to have a credit rating. The exemption applies because we have

liabilities of less than $20 million, making it unduly onerous to comply with the requirement have a credit rating, and

because we maintain a capital ratio of at least 10%. This means that General Finance has not received an

independent opinion, from an approved source, of its capability and willingness to repay its debts.
