The FASB/IASB Lease Project – WHY? Leases are an important source of finance – more information required.
Concern over lack of comparability.Concern over “bright-line” test for operating vs. capital lease.

FASB Timeline
Exposure Draft Issued – August 17, 2010Public Comment Period Ended – December 15, 2010778 comment letters were received!Final standard currently anticipated for release sometime in 2Q2011
4Slide5
Scope of the proposed standard
Simple – ALL Leases
Except :
Leases of intangible assets
Leases of mineral rights, etc.
Leases of biological assets
Distinct service components of a lease agreement should be accounted for in accordance with the new ED on revenue from contracts with customers.

What is a “lease”?
“A contract in which the right to use a specified asset is conveyed, for a period of time, in exchange for consideration.”
6Slide7
Initial Recording by a Lessee
Determine the “lease liability”(Future anticipated cash payments discounted to present value at either the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate or the rate implicit in the contract.)
Determine the “right of use asset”
(Lease liability plus initial direct costs of acquiring the lease.)
7Slide8
Subsequent Recording by a Lessee
Amortize the “right of use asset”. (Probably on a straight-line basis.)Adjust the lease liability using the effective interest rate method.
(Essentially treated like a note payable.)
Reassess significant assumptions and adjust for current facts and circumstances. (Discount rate does NOT change.)
Thus, the P&L reflects amortization expense and interest expense.
8Slide9
Items requiring judgment
The lease term to be used when recording the lease is the longest possible term that is more likely than not to occur.
Contingent rentals must be estimated up-front using a probability analysis.
Payments to be made under residual value guarantees should also be estimated and factored in to the initial lease liability.
At the end of each reporting period the following items must be reassessed and adjusted as necessary:
Lease term
Contingent rentals and residual value guarantees
Right of use asset (for impairment)

Assume a tenant enters into a five year lease with two five-year renewal options.
The tenant must assess the likelihood of whether each renewal option will be exercised.
HINT: Always start this analysis with the longest possible term at the bottom and work your way up!

Determining the “lease term”
A 10 year term will be used when initially recording the lease.Slide11
Contingent Rents
Let’s assume that our lease includes a provision for annual “pass-throughs” based on increases in building operating expenses and property taxes. These are anticipated to start at $50,000 per year.
Our tenant’s incremental borrowing rate is 8%.
11Slide12
Calculating the Liability and Asset
Let’s assume that our lease mandates annual fixed “base” payments of $1,000,000 per year.
Legal fees of $10,000 were incurred as part of the review of the lease document.
Based on the lease term and contingent rental analysis performed, the liability and asset are calculated as follows…….

Lessor Accounting
Does the lessor retain significant risks or benefits of the underlying asset during or subsequent to the expected lease contract?If
NO
, use the
“Derecognition Approach”
If
YES
, use the
“Performance Obligation Approach”
14Slide15
Lessor Accounting – Derecognition Approach
Leased asset is removed from the books (treated like a sale, term is “lease expense” instead of COGS).Receivable is booked for the “right to receive lease payments”.
Recognizes the bulk of revenue up front, with interest income recorded on the subsequent cash payments.
15Slide16
Lessor Accounting – Performance Obligation ApproachLeased asset stays on books (and depreciated as usual).
Receivable is booked for the “right to receive lease payments”.Liability (unearned revenue) is booked for the corresponding “lease liability”.
The unearned revenue is recognized over time (likely straight-line basis). Term to be used is “lease income”.
Interest income is recognized on the receivable.
16Slide17
Transition
“Simplified Retrospective Method”Determine all remaining lease payments as of date of implementation, discount, and record the corresponding asset and liability.
Implementation Date
Nothing definite yet, perhaps 2013 or later for nonpublic entities?
