IFRS 16 LEASES
- issued in January 2016 and applies to annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2019.
The objective of IFRS 16 is to report information
that :
(a) faithfully represents lease transactions and
(b) provides a basis for users of financial statements to
assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash
flows arising from leases.
• IFRS 16
“A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.” (PFRS 16.9)

Overview
IFRS 16 LEASES
specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognise,
measure, present and disclose leases.
• Case 2: The towing car is not yet built at the inception of the contract.
Analysis
• Case 1: The towing car is an identified asset. It is identified by
explicitly specified in the contract.
• Case 2: The towing car is an identified asset. Although the towing car
cannot be identified at the inception of the contract, it is expected to
be identifiable at the commencement of the lease, ie., it is implicitly
specified at the time the asset is made available for use by the
customer.
Portion of Assets
• A capacity portion of an asset is an identified asset if it is physically
distinct (e.g., a floor of a building). A capacity or other portion of an
asset that is not physically distinct is not an identified asset, unless it
represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby
provides the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the
economic benefits from the use of the asset. (PFRS 16.B20)
The first thing you would look at is whether an
underlying asset can be identified.
EXAMPLE A: Analysis
The first contract does not contain any lease, because no asset
can be identified.
• The reason is that the supplier (warehouse owner) can exchange one
place for another and you lease only certain capacity.
The supplier would benefit economically from the exercise of its right to
substitute the asset
Substantive substitution rights
A supplier’s right to substitute an asset is not substantive if it cannot be
exercised throughout the period of use, such as when substitution is
made:
• For example, a contract may (i) specify the maximum amount of use of an
asset or limit where or when the customer can use the asset, (ii) require a
customer to follow particular operating procedures, or (iii) require a
customer to inform the supplier changes in how an asset will be used.
• Protective rights typically define the scope of the customer’s right of use
but do not, in isolation, prevent the customer from having the right to
direct the use of an asset.
Illustration: Identifying a Lease
• Customer X, engaged in quarrying constructions aggregates, enters
into a 10-year contract with Supplier Z for the use of 20 dump trucks
of a particular type.
If only the lessor has the right to terminate a lease, the non-
cancellable period of the lease includes the period covered by the
option to terminate the lease.
To extend or not?
The lessee may be reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend
the lease if:
Upon lease commencement a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
After lease commencement, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset using a
COST MODEL, unless
the right-of-use asset is an investment property and the lessee fair values its investment property
under IAS 40; or
the right-of-use asset relates to a class of PPE to which the lessee applies IAS 16’s revaluation
model, in which case all right-of-use assets relating to that class of PPE can be revalued.
Under the cost model a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment.
Subsequent Measurement
ACCOUNTING BY LESSEES
REMEASUREMENT OF LEASE LIABILITY
• The annual lease payments, payable at the end of each year, are as
follows:
Year Amount
20X1 P8,000
20X2 12,000
20X3 14,000
Illustration: Recognition exemption – asset of low value
SEPARATING COMPONENTS OF A CONTRACT
For a contract that contains a lease component and additional lease and non-lease
components, such as the lease of an asset and the provision of a maintenance
service, lessees shall allocate the consideration payable on the basis of the relative
stand-alone prices, which shall be estimated if observable prices are not readily
available.
As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect, by class of underlying asset, not to
separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for all
components as a lease.
Lessors shall allocate consideration in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts
with Customers.
The new standard IFRS 16 provides a detailed guidance to determine whether your contract
is a lease contract or a service contract (non-lease contract).
Under new IFRS 16, you need to split the rental or lease
payments into lease element and non-lease element
Examples of Non-Lease elements
• Maintenance services
• Security services
• Supply of utilities
• Supply of goods
• Supply of operational services
Illustration: Separating the components of a contract
ABC Co. enters into a 3-year contract for three machines – a printer, a binder, and
electric power converter equipment. The binding machine can be used on its own.
However, the converter is necessary to run the printer. ABC Co. would not lease a
printer without a converter, and vice versa.
based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (i.e. for similar contracts
when got separately).
LET’S SAY…
ABC Co find out that the stand-alone prices are the following:
Binder P52,000 Maintenance of binder 4,000
Printer 180,000 Maintenance of printer 8,000
Converter 15,000 Maintenance of converter 1,000
The lease does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership from the lessor to the lessee.
ACCOUNTING BY LESSORS
FINANCE LEASE
INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
A lessor shall recognise assets held under a finance lease in their statements of financial
position and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the
lease. The net investment in a lease is the lessor’s gross investment in the lease discounted
at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

<Dr> Cash P23,000
<Cr> Profit or loss—finance income P5,000
<Cr> Finance lease receivable P18,000
To recognise apportionment of the lease payments between the finance income and the reduction of the
outstanding lease receivable.

KEY POINTS :
(a) the inception of the lease 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.
(b) economic life is either:
• the period over which an asset is expected to be economically usable by one or
more users; or
• the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the
asset by one or more users.
(c) minimum lease payments are 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
KEY POINTS :
Indicators of situations that individually or in combination could also lead to a
lease being classified as a finance lease are:
a) if the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor’s losses associated with the
cancellation are borne by the lessee.
b) gains or losses from the fluctuation in the residual value of the leased asset
accrue to the lessee (eg in the form of a rent rebate equaling most of the sales
proceeds at the end of the lease).
c) the lessee has the ability to continue the lease for a secondary period at a
rent that is substantially lower than market rent.
ACCOUNTING BY LESSORS
OPERATING LEASE
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
A lessor shall recognise lease income from operating leases (excluding amounts
for services such as insurance and maintenance) in profit or loss on a straight-
line basis over the lease term, unless either
a) another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee’s benefit from
the leased asset, even if the receipt of payments is not on that basis, or

OPERATING LEASE
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
b) the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation (based
on published indexes or statistics) to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost
increases. If payments to the lessor vary according to factors other than inflation, then condition (b)
is not met.
The entity accounts for the building as property, plant and equipment using the cost
model because the fair value of the property cannot be determined reliably without undue
cost or effort on an ongoing basis.
No lease amount is payable for the first four years of the lease. The single lease
payment of P150,000 is due on 1 January 20X5.
Analysis
The operating lease payments are accounted (ie P30,000 is recognised as income in profit or loss of
each year of the lease term —
calculation: P150,000 total lease payments ÷ 5 years = P30,000 income per year
By 1 January 20X5 the lessor would have accrued P120,000 lease receivables as a current asset
(ie P30,000 related to 20X1 + P30,000 related to 20X2 + P30,000 related to 20X3 + P30,000 related
to 20X4).
On 1 January 20X5 the lessor could recognize the following journal entry:
<Dr> Cash P150,000
<Cr> Operating lease receivable P120,000
<Cr> Lease income received in advance P 30,000
To recognize payment received from the lessee on 01 January 20X5
SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS
A sale and leaseback transaction involves the
sale of an asset and the leasing back of the
same asset. The lease payment and the sale
price are unsually interdepedent because they
are negotiated as a package.
