SECTION 3<br />

BUSINESS OVERVIEW<br />

BABCOCK & BROWN PROSPECTUS<br />

Acquisition and syndication volume is forecast to increase in both 2004 and 2005 based on the continued recovery<br />

of the airline industry outside of the US and the need for additional aircraft to meet the growing global demand<br />

for air travel after a three-year downturn.The forecast volumes assumed are consistent with current expectation of<br />

investor appetite for leased aircraft product and the growth trends experienced so far in 2004. Higher syndication<br />

volumes also have the benefit of driving management fee growth as the size of the portfolio increases.<br />

The Rail business’ 2004 Forecast Net Revenues are driven by the purchase and syndication to investors of several<br />

railcar portfolios.Two of these transactions have already been completed and another has been identified and is<br />

currently in the process of being finalised. 2005 Forecast Net Revenues are also assumed to be driven principally<br />

by this purchase-and-syndication activity at a level which reflects Babcock & Brown’s current view of the<br />

availability of suitable railcar stock and investor demand for the assets.<br />

The majority of the Electronics business’ Forecast Net Revenues in 2004 are expected to be achieved from the<br />

sale of equipment owned by existing investment partnerships managed by BBEM.The remaining revenue is<br />

assumed to be generated by business initiatives launched during this year. Net Revenues from trading activities in<br />

2005 are forecast to remain at 2004 levels. Net Revenues from new business areas are assumed to grow slightly<br />

between 2004 and 2005.<br />
