Objectives, Scope and Definitions
Objectives
•IAS 17 sets out the appropriate accounting
treatment and disclosures for lease
transactions in the FS of an entity;
•It should be applied in accounting for all
lease transactions except those that are
specifically excluded.
•IAS 17 sets out the accounting
requirements for both lessees and lessors.
Definitions
•A lease is an agreement whereby the lessor
conveys to the lessee in return for a
payment or series of payments the right to
use an asset for an agreed period of time.
•A finance lease is a lease that transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership of an asset. Title
may or may not eventually be transferred.
•An operating lease is a lease other than a
finance lease.
Scope
•IAS 17 does not apply to: [IAS 17.2]
olease agreements set up for the exploration or
use of minerals, oil, natural gas and similar nonregenerative resources; and
olicensing agreements that are entered into for
items such as motion picture films, video
recordings, plays, manuscripts, patents and
copyrights.
•In addition, the measurement basis of IAS 17
does not apply to items which, due to their
unique nature, are specifically addressed in other
IASs. Examples include:
oproperties that are recognised as investment
properties in accordance with IAS 40; and
obiological assets that are held by a lessee under
finance lease arrangements or provided by a
lessor under an operating lease and accounted
for in accordance with IAS 41
03- IAS 17 Leases

Objectives, Scope and Definitions
Definitions
• A non-cancellable lease is a lease that is cancellable only:
a) upon the occurrence of some remote contingency;
b) with the permission of the lessor;
c) if the lessee enters into a new lease for the same or an equivalent asset with the same lessor; or
d) upon payment by the lessee of such an additional amount that, at inception of the lease,
continuation of the lease is reasonably certain.
• The inception of the lease(IoL) is the earlier of the date of the lease agreement and the date of
commitment by the parties to the principal provisions of the lease.
As at this date:
a) a lease is classified as either an operating or a finance lease; and
b) in the case of a finance lease, the amounts to be recognised at the commencement of the lease
term are determined.
• The commencement of the lease term is the date from which the lessee is entitled to exercise its right
to use the leased asset. It is the date of initial recognition of the lease (ie the recognition of the assets,
liabilities, income or expenses resulting from the lease, as appropriate).
• The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has contracted to lease the asset
together with any further terms for which the lessee has the option to continue to lease the asset,
with or without further payment, when at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the
lessee will exercise the option.
• Fair value (FV)is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
03- IAS 17 Leases

Objectives, Scope and Definitions
Definitions
• Minimum lease payments (MLP)are
o the payments over the lease term that the lessee is or can be required to make, excluding
• contingent rent,
• costs for services and
• taxes to be paid by and reimbursed to the lessor,
o together with:
a) for a lessee, any amounts guaranteed by the lessee or by a party related to the lessee; or
b) for a lessor, any residual value guaranteed to the lessor by:
i. the lessee;
ii. a party related to the lessee; or
iii. a third party unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the
obligations under the guarantee.
o However, if the lessee has an option to purchase the asset at a price that is expected to be
sufficiently lower than fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be
reasonably certain, at the inception of the lease, that the option will be exercised, the minimum
lease payments comprise the minimum payments payable over the lease term to the expected
date of exercise of this purchase option and the payment required to exercise it.

Objectives, Scope and Definitions
Definitions
• Economic life is either:
a) the period over which an asset is expected to be economically usable by one or more users; or
b) the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by one or
more users.
• Useful life is the estimated remaining period, from the commencement of the lease term, without
limitation by the lease term, over which the economic benefits embodied in the asset are expected
to be consumed by the entity.
• Guaranteed residual value (GRV)is:
a) for a lessee, that part of the residual value that is guaranteed by the lessee or by a party related
to the lessee (the amount of the guarantee being the maximum amount that could, in any event,
become payable); and
b) for a lessor, that part of the residual value that is guaranteed by the lessee or by a third party
unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the obligations under the
guarantee.
• Unguaranteed residual value (UGRV) is that portion of the residual value of the leased asset, the
realisation of which by the lessor is not assured or is guaranteed solely by a party related to the
lessor.
• Initial direct costs (IDC) are incremental costs that are directly attributable to negotiating and
arranging a lease, except for such costs incurred by manufacturer or dealer lessors.
• Gross investment in the lease (GIL) is the aggregate of:
a) the minimum lease payments receivable by the lessor under a finance lease, and
b) any unguaranteed residual value accruing03-toIASthe
lessor.

Objectives, Scope and Definitions
Definitions
• Net investment in the lease (NIL) is the gross investment in the lease discounted at the interest rate
implicit in the lease.
• Unearned finance income (UEFI) is the difference between:
a) the gross investment in the lease, and
b) the net investment in the lease.
• The interest rate implicit (IRR) in the lease is the discount rate that, at the inception of the lease,
causes the aggregate present value of
a) the minimum lease payments and
b) the unguaranteed residual value
to be equal to the sum of
a) the fair value of the leased asset and
b) any initial direct costs of the lessor.
• The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR) of interest is the rate of interest the lessee would
have to pay on a similar lease or, if that is not determinable, the rate that, at the inception of the
lease, the lessee would incur to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds
necessary to purchase the asset.
• Contingent rent is that portion of the lease payments that is not fixed in amount but is based on
the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time (eg percentage of
future sales, amount of future use, future price indices, future market rates of interest).
03- IAS 17 Leases

Classification of lease- Operating & Finance
Classification of a lease as either a finance lease or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction.
Illustration 1
P needs to buy a new item of plant which would cost CU100,000 if bought for cash and which has a useful life of 5
years. P has no surplus cash available and has identified the following two financing options:
Option 1
Borrow CU100,000 from a bank. This loan is repayable in five annual instalments of CU24,000 each (each
instalment including interest of CU4,000). The cash transaction will be accounted for by recording:
a) an asset for the purchase of the new item of plant at CU100,000;
b) a liability of CU100,000 to the bank;
c) as each annual instalment is paid, a reduction in cash of CU24,000, a reduction in the liability of CU20,000 and
interest of CU4,000 recognised in profit or loss; and
d) depreciation of CU20,000 per annum recognised in profit or loss.
Option 2
Lease plant from that leasing division of bank in return for paying five annual lease instalments of CU24,000 each.
Without IAS 17 the transaction would involve recognising in IS the annual rental instalments of CU24,000.
Issue
The two accounting treatments are different and have a significant impact on the ‘picture’ presented by the FS. In
Option 2 no asset or debt is recognised in the SFP and hence no finance cost or depreciation is recognised in IS. The
substance of these two options is, however, the same, since P:
• has possession and use of the asset for the whole of its five year useful life; and
• is paying a total of CU120,000 for the use of the asset – CU20,000 more than its cash price, so CU20,000 is
interest
In substance, P has ‘bought’ the asset under both options, and the bank has provided the finance. The only real
difference is that under Option 2 the entity never gets legal title.
Option 2 would allow P to avoid showing debt in the SFP and take advantage of a form of financing that is not
recognised in the FS.

Classification of lease- Operating & Finance
Illustration 2
A distributor of chemicals enters into a tolling agreement with a chemical producer. The
producer agrees to build a customized facility to manufacture chemicals exclusively for the
distributor. The useful life of the facility is estimated at ten years, which is the same period
as the tolling agreement between the two parties. The facility is designed to meet only the
distributor’s needs. The distributor must pay a fixed capacity charge per annum irrespective
of whether it takes any of the facility’s production. It also pays a variable charge based on
the actual production taken, which amounts to approximately 90% of the facility’s total
variable costs.
This arrangement contains a lease. The asset in the agreement is the facility and fulfillment
of the agreement is dependent on that facility which is customized for the distributor’s
requirements. The distributor has obtained the right to use the factory as it is customized
for its needs and could not reasonably be used for another purpose. The price it will pay per
unit is neither fixed nor equal to the market price at time of delivery.
03- IAS 17 Leases
9
Classification of lease- Operating & Finance
The classification of a lease is based on the extent to which ‘risks and rewards ‘ associated
with ownership are transferred from the lessor to the lessee. If a lease transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards normally associated with the ownership of an asset it
should be classified as a finance lease; otherwise, it should be classified as an operating
lease.
Risk
Reward
Losses may arise:
• where the asset stands idle for
some time due to lack of
sufficient demand;
• from a fall in the value of the
asset through technical
obsolescence; and
• from meeting the costs of
maintaining and repairing the
asset.
Gains may arise from:
• the generation of profits from
use of the asset;
• use of the asset for
substantially the whole of its
useful life; and
• a potential gain arising on the
future sale of the asset where
it increases in value.
03- IAS 17 Leases
10
Classification of lease- Operating & Finance
In addition to the guidance described above, IAS 17 also sets out specific situations that, individually or
collectively, would normally lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease. Such situations include
where:
1. Ownership of the asset transfers to the lessee by the end of the lease term (such arrangements are
sometimes known as a hire purchase);
2. The lessee has an option to purchase the asset. The price at which the option is set is such that it is
reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. In other words, the price is set significantly
below the fair value expected of the asset at the date the option becomes exercisable (this is
sometimes referred to as a bargain purchase option);
3. The term of the lease is for the majority of the economic life of the asset. At the end of the lease,
therefore, the asset will have virtually no further ability to generate future economic benefits;
4. The asset is so specialised that only the lessee can use it without major modifications; and
5. The present value of the minimum lease payments payable by the lessee under the lease is equal to
substantially all of the fair value of the asset. Where this is the case, the lessee has effectively paid
for the asset in full and therefore should treat the asset as if it had acquired it through a financing
arrangement.
6. Losses associated with any cancellation of the lease are borne by the lessee;
7. Fluctuations in the fair value at the end of the lease term fall to the lessee; and
8. The lessee has the option to extend the lease for a secondary period at a rate that is substantially
below market rate (this is often known as a ‘peppercorn rent’).
03- IAS 17 Leases
11
Classification of lease- Operating & Finance
Further considerations
•The examples and indicators stated earlier
are not always conclusive. If it is clear
from other features that the lease does
not transfer substantially all risks and
rewards incidental to ownership, the lease
is classified as an operating lease.
•For example, this may be the case if
ownership of the asset transfers at the
end of the lease for a variable payment
equal to its then fair value, or if there are
contingent rents, as a result of which the
lessee does not have substantially all such
risks and rewards.
Timing of classification & effect of subsequent
changes
•Lease classification is made at the inception of the
lease. If at any time the lessee and the lessor agree
to change the provisions of the lease, other than by
renewing the lease, in a manner that would have
resulted in a different classification of the lease if the
changed terms had been in effect at the inception of
the lease, the revised agreement is regarded as a
new agreement over its (new) term.
•However, changes in estimates (for example, changes
in estimates of the economic life or of the residual
value of the leased property), or changes in
circumstances (for example, default by the lessee),
do not give rise to a new classification of a lease for
accounting purposes.
Classification of Land and Building
•A characteristic of land is that it normally has an indefinite economic life
•The land and buildings elements of a lease are considered separately for the purposes of lease
classification.
•The minimum lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) are allocated between
the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold
interests in the land element and buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease.
•If the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between these two elements, the entire lease is
classified as a finance lease, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases, in which case
the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

Lease Accounting by LESSEE
Finance lease recognition
Statement of financial position
• Recognise a non-current asset
• Recognise a liability for the lease
obligation (i.e. the total payments
outstanding including repayment
instalments and finance charges
accrued to date)
Statement of comprehensive income
• Recognise a charge for the
depreciation of the non-current
asset
• Recognise a finance charge for the
year
Operating lease recognition
Statement of financial position
• Any excess or shortage of payment
over rent due is shown as asset or
liability (the normal prepaymentaccrual concept)
Statement of comprehensive income
• Recognise the rent due (lease
instalment) as an expense for the
year.
• However, where it relates to
construction/production of another
asset, the amount of rent due will be
included in the cost of that asset
under respective IAS
03- IAS 17 Leases
13
Lessee’s Finance Lease
Initial Recognition
• A lessee should recognise an asset and liability in its
SFP at the commencement of the lease term. The
amounts should be recorded at the FV of the asset
or, if lower, the PV of the MLP, determined at IoL.
• The PV of the MLP is calculated by establishing the
MLP due under the lease, as explained above, and
discounting them to take account of the time value
of money.
• Any IDC incurred by the lessee are added to the
asset’s cost.
Depreciation
• Since under a finance lease a non-current asset is
recognised in the lessee’s SFP, IAS 17 also requires
the asset to be depreciated in accordance with IAS
16.
• The asset should be depreciated over its useful life
or, if there is no reasonable certainty that the
lessee will obtain ownership of the asset at the end
of the lease term, the period of the lease if that is
shorter.
• The depreciation policy for leased assets should be
consistent with those of legally owned assets.
Illustration 3
On 1 January 2007 an entity enters into a finance
lease for a photocopier with a fair value of CU8,000.
The lease term is for 3 years, with no option to
extend, and the copier will be returned to the lessor
at the end of the 3 years. The present value of the
minimum lease payments is CU7,500. The initial
direct cost incurred by the lessee is CU 100.
The copier should therefore be initially recognised
at CU7,600, which is the lower of the fair value and
the present value of the minimum lease payments
plus initial direct cost.
The useful life of the copier is estimated to be 4
years with a nil residual value. The entity operates a
straight-line method of depreciation.
The depreciation charge on the copier in 2007 is:
CU7,600 / 3 years = CU2,533
Because the lessee will not gain ownership at the
end of the 3 year period, the copier is depreciated
over a 3 year period being the shorter of the lease
term and the asset’s useful life.
03- IAS 17 Leases
14
Lessee’s Finance Lease
Finance charge
•
Each instalment made under a FL consists of a mixture of a finance charge and the repayment of capital.
•
The total finance charge over the total period of the lease is:
CU
Total lease rentals
XXX
Less: initial finance lease obligation being the lower of FV and PV of the MLP
(XXX)
Total finance charges
XXX .
•
The total interest cost should be recognised in profit or loss over the accounting periods for which the lease
liability is in existence. This is from the start of the lease until the last repayment is made.
•
The period over which the lease liability is in existence is not necessarily the same as the term of the lease. For
example, if lease rentals are paid annually in advance, the lease finance will be paid off when the final payment is
made at the start of the last year, but the lease term will include the last year, even though no liability will remain.
•
Different methods can be used for allocation of lease charges with the condition that it produces a constant
periodic rate of interest on the outstanding lease obligation. One which is most commonly used in Pakistan is
Actuarial method illustrated below.
Illustration 4
An entity entered into a five year finance lease on 1 January 2007. The FV of the leased asset was CU11,500. Lease
rentals of CU3,034 are payable annually in arrears on 31 December each year. The IRR is 10%.
The asset is included in non-current assets at its fair value of CU11,500 and depreciated over the five year term.
The finance charge for the year to 31 December 2007 is calculated on the outstanding balance of CU11,500. The
finance cost will be CU1,150.
At 31 December 2007 the lease liability of CU9,616 is calculated as the initial amount of CU11,500 plus the accrued
interest of CU1,150 less the repayment of CU3,034.

Lessee’s Finance Lease
Disclosures
• IAS 17 requires a number of disclosures to be made in relation to the effect that a finance
lease has had on an entity’s financial statements during a period.
• For each class of assets, for example land, buildings, plant and machinery, an entity should
disclose the net carrying amount that relates to assets held under finance leases. An entity
should present a reconciliation of the future minimum lease payments due at the end of
the reporting period to their present value. These minimum lease payments and their
present value should also be allocated over the periods in which payments will be made, as
follows:
– within one year;
– within two to five years; and
– after more than five years.
• Disclosure should be made of any contingent rents that have been recognised as an
expense during the period and the amount of any payments expected to be received under
noncancellable subleases.
• A description of an entity’s significant leasing arrangements should be presented. Such
information will normally include the basis on which contingent rents are determined, the
existence and terms of any options to extend the lease term or purchase the asset and any
restrictions that are imposed on the lease arrangements.
03- IAS 17 Leases
16
Lessee’s Operating Lease
•
•
Operating Lease is a lease other than a finance lease
IAS 17 requires lease payments made under an operating lease to be charged as an expense
directly in profit or loss* on a systematic basis over the lease term. A straight-line basis
should be used unless another basis is more representative of the timing of the benefits
obtained by the user of the asset. [IAS 17.33]
Illustration 5
An entity enters into an operating lease arrangement for the use of a piece of machinery for a
period of three years. The useful life of the asset is estimated as being around 15 years.
The entity will pay annual rentals of CU1,000 over the three years.
The entity expects the machinery to be used evenly over the three year period so the annual
rental of CU1,000 should be recognised in each of the three years.
*
An exception applies where the use of asset is for construction-production of another asset. In
that case, the amount of rent due is included in the cost of that asset.
03- IAS 17 Leases
17
Lessee’s Operating Lease
Disclosures for operating leases
• An entity should disclose the outstanding payments under non-cancellable operating leases allocated between the
following periods: [IAS 17.35]
– within one year;
– within two to five years; and
– after more than five years.
• Where an entity expects to receive sub-lease rentals under an operating lease arrangement the total minimum
payments at the end of the reporting period should be disclosed.
• The total amount recognised in profit or loss for amounts under operating leases, including subleases, should be
disclosed identifying amounts representing the minimum lease payments, contingent rents and sublease amounts.
• A description of an entity’s significant leasing arrangements should be presented. Such information will normally include
the basis on which any contingent rents are payable, the existence and terms of any options to extend the lease term,
any escalation clauses or purchase options and any restrictions that are imposed on the lease arrangements.
Illustration 6
An entity has the following outstanding non-cancellable operating lease commitments at the end of its reporting period:
– rental on buildings of CU100,000 per annum for 15 years;
– rental on plant of CU30,000 per annum for 3 years; and
– rental on cars of CU40,000 for 11 months.
The minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are:
within 1 year (100,000 + 30,000 + 40,000)
within 2 – 5 years ((100,000 x 4yrs) + (30,000 x 2yrs))
after 5 years (100,000 x 10yrs)

Sale and Lease Back Transactions
•
•
•
•
An entity may enter into a financing arrangement to improve its liquidity through what is commonly
referred to as a sale and leaseback transaction. In such circumstances, the entity sells the asset to a
third party, receives proceeds for the sale and then leases the asset back and pays rentals for its
use.
A sale and leaseback transaction can result in a finance or operating lease, depending on the
substance of the transaction.
If the lease is identified as a finance lease, finance has been provided and the asset has been given
as security for that finance. Any profit made on the sale of the asset is deferred. The excess of sale
proceeds over the carrying amount of the asset at the date of the transaction is deferred in the SFP
and amortised through profit or loss over the period of the lease.
If the lease is identified as an operating lease and the lease payments and the sale price are
established at FV, any profit made on the sale should be recognised immediately in profit or loss for
the period.
If, however, the sale price is below FV, then any loss arising should be deferred to the extent that
future rental payments are below market value ( a compensation from lessor). The loss will be
recognised in profit or loss as the rentals are recognised. If the sale price was above FV, the excess
profit over FV should be deferred and recognised in the period over which the asset is expected to
be utilised.
Where an operating lease results and the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount at
the time of the sale, then this loss should be recognised immediately. A loss arising in such
circumstances is essentially an impairment of the asset (i.e. a decrease in the recoverable amount
of the asset)
03- IAS 17 Leases
19
Sale and Lease Back Transactions
Illustration 7
An entity had two sale and leaseback transactions during the year.
1) It sold a non-current asset with a carrying amount of CU20,000 for its fair value of CU24,000
under a finance leaseback arrangement. The lease period was for five years at an annual
rental of CU7,000. The machine has a useful life of five years.
2) It sold a property under an operating leaseback arrangement for its fair value of CU40,000
when the property had a carrying amount of CU36,000. The annual operating leaseback
payments are CU10,000 per annum for three years, which reflect market rentals.
Transaction 1
Although the machine has been sold at fair value, no profit is recognised as the machine remains
a non-current asset. The proceeds are recognised as a liability and the finance charge of
CU11,000 ((CU7,000 x 5) less CU24,000) is allocated over the five year period.
Transaction 2
The gain on disposal of the property of CU4,000 (CU40,000 less CU36,000) is recognised
immediately, because the sale price and the rentals are at fair value. The operating lease rentals
are recognised as an expense.

Lease Accounting By the Lessor
Finance leases
•
Just as a lessee accounts for the substance, not form, of a finance lease, so should a lessor.
•
Under a finance lease the lessor is entitled to a stream of leasing receipts, so it should recognise as an asset the
amounts receivable, rather than the leased item as a non-current asset. The receivables should be measured at
the net investment in the lease.
•
The net investment in the lease is defined as being the “gross investment in the lease discounted at the interest
rate implicit in the lease”. This gross investment is calculated as the lessee’s minimum lease payments (which
includes any residual value guaranteed by the lessee) plus any unguaranteed amount accruing to the lessor.
•
The interest rate implicit in the lease is the same as that explained in relation to the lessee and the way that it is
calculated automatically includes any initial direct costs incurred by the lessor in the amounts receivable from the
lessee, so they should not be added separately.
•
The income receivable under a finance lease arrangement should be recognised based on “a pattern reflecting a
constant period rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the finance lease”. Again method used in Pakistan
is ‘actuarial method’.
Disclosure by a lessor for finance lease arrangements
•
A lessor should provide a general description of its significant leasing arrangements.
•
A lessor should present a reconciliation of the GIL to the PV of the future MLP due under them at the end of the
reporting period. The GIL and the PV of the MLP for each of the following periods should also be disclosed:
– within one year;
– within two to five years; and
– after more than five years.
•
In addition, a lessor should disclose any UEFI , any UGRV that accrue to the lessor (the amount that the asset will
be worth at the end of its useful life) and contingent rents received during the period.
•
A lessor should also identify any allowance that has been made for uncollectable lease payments receivable
03- IAS 17 Leases
22
Lease Accounting By the Lessor
Operating leases
• A lessor should recognise assets that are leased under operating leases in its SFP according to the
nature of the asset. Where it is the lease of a photocopier, for example, it would be presented as a
non-current asset as part of property, plant and equipment. [IAS 17.49]
• The lessor will recognise depreciation on depreciable non-current assets under operating lease
arrangements in accordance with IAS 16. The depreciation policy for leased assets should be
consistent with that for other non-current assets held by the lessor that are not subject to lease
arrangements. [IAS 17.53]
• Initial direct costs, as described above, should be added to the carrying amount of the asset and will
therefore be recognised as an expense over the period of the useful life of the asset as it is
depreciated. [IAS 17.52]
• The income received under an operating lease should be recognised in the lessor’s profit or loss based
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A different systematic basis of recognition should be used
where it represents more fairly the timing of the benefits derived from the asset as the lessee uses it.

Lease Accounting By the Lessor
• A manufacturer or dealer lessor effectively has income arising from two
sources, being:
– the profit or loss that would have arisen from an outright sale of an asset; and
– the finance income over the lease term.
• The selling profit or loss should be recognised in the same period as it
would have been recognised in had the asset been sold without the
financing arrangements, so a consistent policy is adopted for the
recognition of selling profit or losses.
• If the interest rate charged by a manufacturer or dealer lessor on the
financing of the purchase of an asset is artificially low, then the selling
profit should be adjusted so that a market rate of interest is charged. This
will result in a deferral of some of the selling profit.
• Any incremental costs incurred in negotiating a lease by a manufacturer or
dealer lessor should be recognised as an expense when the selling profit is
recognised.
