The buildings and facilities on these leased lands have been constructed by THY and arerecorded as fixed assets of the Company. However the land on which all these buildings were built is not registered as THY’s property. The title of theproperty on which all these buildings were built belongs to the Ministry of Finance. However the land was allocated to DHMI for its use and DHMIleased the land to THY and the Company pays rent to DHMI for the land. There were informal claims from DHMI that THY should start paying rent forthe buildings after 10 years from the date of construction. The latest claim was made by DHMI in 1996 for one building and no further claim was madefor other buildings built by THY on this land.
