Abstract: A method for reducing risk including the steps of holding by a seller a liability having a future value S1 and determining the present value P1 of the liability in accordance with the future value S1. The method also calls for buying the liability by a buyer entity for a value P2 greater than the present value P1, thereby providing a first net gain holding the liability by the buyer entity for a period of time and discharging the liability at the end of the period of time for a value S1 that is less than the future value S2 thereby providing a second net gain. The present value P2 is determined according to the present value P1 and according to a time t years prior to the time at which the value of the liability reaches S1. The present value P2 is determined according to the value S2 and the future value S1 is known at the time of the determining of the present value P1. The first net gain is a net gain for the seller and the second net gain is a net gain for the buyer entity.

Abstract: A method for derecognizing the commitment of a lessee in an operating lease includes holding by a lessee a recognized operating lease wherein the recognized operating lease has an obligation to a lessor, including an obligation to make a rental payment and a fixed future value S1 and determining the present value P1 of the recognized operating lease in accordance with the fixed future value S1. The recognized operating lease is bought from the lessee by a buyer entity for a present value P2 greater than the present value P1 wherein the lessee releases the obligation to make the rental payment thereby providing a first net gain to the lessee whereby the recognized operating lease is derecognized to provide a derecognized operating lease. Holding the derecognized operating lease and storing information regarding the derecognized operating lease in a computer by the buyer entity for a period of time are also required.
