Transfer of ownership
| Ownership of the asset does not transfer to Lessee Corp by the end of the lease term.
|
Purchase option which the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
| The lease contains an option to purchase the property for $3,000,000, which is below the fair value of the real estate asset at lease commencement and its expected value at the date of exercise. Options to purchase real estate at a price below commencement date fair value are generally considered to be reasonably certain of exercise since real estate generally appreciates in value. Thus, a significant economic incentive to exercise the purchase option exists.
|
Lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the asset
| The lease term is 10 years; the five 5-year renewal options available to Lessee Corp are not reasonably certain of exercise (determined at lease commencement) because they require rent to be reset to market rates at the time of exercise.
Therefore, Lessee Corp is utilizing the asset for 25% of the economic life of the asset (10-year lease/40-year economic life), which is not deemed to be a major part.
|
Sum of present value of lease payments and any residual value guarantee by the lessee amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset
| The lease payments net of the incentive Lessor Corp pays Lessee Corp are $5,531,940 (see below for a schedule of payments). The present value of the lease payments (discounted at the rate Lessor Corp charges in the lease of approximately 9.04%) is $3,737,510.
Because the purchase option is reasonably certain of being exercised, it should be included as a lease payment at the end of the lease term. Using the rate Lessor Corp charges Lessee Corp (approximately 9.04%), the present value of the purchase option is $1,262,490.
Therefore, the present value of the lease payments equals 100% of the fair value of the leased asset (($3,737,510 + $1,262,490)/$5,000,000).

Specialized nature
| Although the property is in a specific location, it could be used by another party without major modifications.

Transfer of ownership
| Ownership of the asset does not transfer to Lessee Corp by the end of the lease term.
|
Purchase option which the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
| At lease commencement, Lessee Corp is not reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option because it is at fair market value, which does not provide a significant economic incentive.
|
Lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the asset
| Lessee Corp is utilizing the asset for 50% of the economic life of the asset (3-year lease/6-year economic life), which is not deemed to be a major part.
|
Sum of present value of lease payments and any residual value guarantee by the lessee amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset
| The present value of the lease payments (discounted at the rate Lessor Corp charges in the lease of 9.56%) is $15,720.
Therefore, the present value of the lease payments amounts to approximately 52% of the fair value of the leased asset ($15,720/$30,000), which is not deemed to be substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset.
