  3. Classification of leases • Distinction between Operating and Finance • Finance Lease one that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset to the lessee • Operating lease one that is not a finance lease • 90% test

  4. Other Factors • if the lessee can cancel the lease, will he bear any losses associated with the cancellation? • will the lessee gain or lose from any fluctuations in the market value of the residual? • does the lessee have the ability to continue to lease the asset for a secondary term at a nominal rental?

  5. Other Factors…cont • is the expected lease term equal to substantially all of the asset's expected useful life? • are the leased assets of a specialised nature such that only the lessee (or a limited number of other parties) can use them without major modifications being made?

  6. How to proceed • Ensure finance department is involved at a very early stage • Consult with external auditors before the lease is agreed.
