IAS 17, LeasesIAS 17, Leases Types of Arrangements

A finance lease transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks inherent in ownership of property to the lessee.
Title may or may not eventually be transferred. Operating lease- is a lease other than a

IAS 17, LeasesIAS 17, LeasesTypes of Arrangements (cont’d)
Lessee, finance lease Criteria : Must meet just one condition to capitalize: Ownership transfers at end of lease (upon final
payment or required buyout) Written option for bargain purchase Ninety (90%) percent of leased property FMV <
PV of lease payments Seventy-five (75%) percent of asset economic
life is being committed in lease term. Illustration “A,B”

Types of Arrangements (cont’d) Risks and rewards of ownership
Risks may be represented by the possibility of: Losses from idle capacity or technological
obsolescence; Variations in return due to changing economic
conditions Rewards may be represented by the
expectation of: Profitable operation over the asset’s economic
life; Gain from appreciation in value or realization of
residual value
9
Types of Arrangements (cont’d) Indicators
IAS 17 lists the following as examples of situations where a lease would normally be classified as a finance lease:
The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
The lessee has the option to purchase the asset at a “bargain price” and it seems likely that, at the inception of the lease, that this option will be exercised
10
Types of Arrangements (cont’d) Terms of the lease
The status of the lease may often be determined from an examination of the lease terms.
A transference of risks and rewards is assumed if: The lessee has the use of the asset for most of its
economic life. The lessee bears the cost normally associated with
ownership. The present value of the amounts guaranteed by the
lessee is materially equivalent to the cost of purchase. Any amounts accruing to the lessor at the end of the
lease are relatively small
11
Types of Arrangements (cont’d) Land and buildings
Land Normally has an indefinite economic
life. If title does not pass at the end of the
lease term, the lease should normally be classified as an operating lease
12
Types of Arrangements (cont’d) Land and buildings
Buildings Useful life will probably extend well
beyond the lease term. If title does not pass at the end of the
lease term, the lease will be classed as operating lease
If it pass, both are classified as finance leases

Illustration “D”

Sale and leaseback as an operating lease If the rentals and the sale price are
established at a fair value, there has in effect been a normal sale transaction.
If the sale price is above fair value, the excess should be deferred and amortized over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.
If the sale price is below fair value, any profit or loss should be recognized immediately.
