Universities

Leases — Recognitions and Measurements
Terminations

The lessee and lessor must account for an amendment during the reporting period resulting in a decrease in the lessee’s right to use the underlying asset as a partial or full lease termination. For example: the lease term is shortened or the number of underlying assets is reduced.

Lessees

A lessee must account for the partial or full lease termination by reducing the carrying values of the lease asset and lease liability and recognizing a gain or loss for the difference.

However, if the lease is terminated because the lessee purchased an underlying asset from the lessor, the lease asset must be reclassified to the appropriate class of owned asset.
