Key Impacts:

  • Requires lessors that are depository or lending institutions in the scope of ASC 942 to classify the principal portion of lessee payments received from sales-type or direct financing leases as cash flows from investing activities, and the interest portion as cash flows from operating activities
  • Clarifies that companies are exempt from the interim period transition disclosure requirements in paragraph 250-10-50-3 when adopting ASC 842
