Q. Is this a big Deal?
A. Yes, companies will likely need to:
• Overhaul legacy accounting systems, processes, procedures
and controls.
• Install new systems to integrate and automate into
enterprise systems.
• Incur cost for systems upgrades, and education/implementation of new controls.
• Establish policies and practices for making decisions concerning renewals and
other options in leases.
• Size the impact on a company’s financial statements.
• Restate the effect of changes on financial statements.
• Manage impact on operating results, financial ratios,
and debt covenants.

How will this affect deals?
• A bias toward shorter leases off-set by higher rental costs.
• A bias towards ownership, but priority remains access to capital, cost
of capital, and needs of business.
• More options and analysis.
• More and less reasons to do sale/leasebacks.
• New priorities – on-balance sheet lease financing.
• Old structures rise – synthetic leases.
• Smart move: rationalize and right-size portfolios.
