2 Sale-Leaseback Transactions Transaction in which the property owner (seller—lessee) sells the property to another party (purchaser—lessor) and immediately leases it back from the new owner Example: company buys land and constructs a building, sells it to a property investor and then leases it back

3 Advantages of Sale-Leasebacks If equipment purchase has already been financed, a sale-leaseback can allow the seller to refinance at lower rates (if rates have decreased) Can provide additional working capital when liquidity is tight

4 Lessee Accounting If the lease the capital or finance lease criteria, lessee accounts for the transaction leaseback as a capital or finance lease If none of the capital lease criteria is met, lessee accounts for the leaseback as an operating lease

5 Lessee Accounting Under PE GAAP, any gains or losses on the sale of the property leased back are amortized on the same basis as depreciation of the leased assets (if a capital lease), or in proportion to the rental payments (if operating lease) Under IFRS, any gains or losses on the sale of the property leased back are amortized over the leased term (if a capital lease), or recognized in income (if operating lease and fair value used)

6 Lessee Accounting If asset is impaired, seller writes it down to FV and recognizes full loss in the year If leased asset is land only, amortize straight- line over the lease term

7 Lessor Accounting Lessor applies regular lease standards
