In this article, we study homogeneous transient diffusion processes. We provide the basic distributions of their local times. It helps to get exact formulas and upper bounds for the moments, exponential moments, and potentials of integral functionals of transient diffusion processes. Some of the results generalize the corresponding results of Salminen and Yor for the Brownian motion with drift.

European call option issued on a bond governed by a modified geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, is investigated. Objective price of such option as a function of the mean and the variance of a geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is studied. It is proved that the “Ornstein-Uhlenbeck” market is arbitrage-free and complete. We obtain risk-neutral measure and calculate the fair price of a call option. We consider also the bond price, governed by a modified fractional geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with Hurst index $H\in (1/2,1)$. Limit behaviour of the variance of the process as $H\to 1/2$ and $H\to 1$ is studied, the monotonicity of the variance and the objective price of the option as a function of Hurst index is established.
