CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS <br />Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) <br />September 30, 2024 <br />L Summarof Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) <br />G. Assets, Liabilities, and Equity (Continued) <br />The City is a lessor for noncancellable leases of equipment. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred <br />inflow of resources at the beginning of the lease term in the government -wide and governmental fund <br />financial statements. In general, the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources are measured at <br />the <br />7. Leases (Continued) <br />City as Lessor (Continued) <br />present value of the lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. The City remeasures the lease <br />receivables at subsequent financial reporting dates if one or more of the following changes have occurred at <br />or before the financial reporting date: change in the lease term; change in the interest rate the lessor charges <br />the lessee; and/or change in future contingency lease payments to fixed payments for the remainder of the <br />lease. <br />The key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines the discount rate it uses to discount <br />the expected lease payments to present value, lease term, and lease payments. The City uses its estimated <br />incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases, unless the rate is stated in the lease agreement. The <br />lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of <br />the lease receivable are composed of fixed payments from the lessee. Leases with periodic percentage rent <br />increases or flat rate increases that are specified in the lease terms are included in the measurement of the <br />lease receivable. <br />The City calculates the amortization of the discount on the lease receivable on a straight-line basis over the term of <br />the lease and reports that amount as an inflow of resources for the period. Any payments received are <br />allocated first to the accrued interest receivable and then to the lease receivable. This recognition does not <br />apply to short-term leases, contracts that transfer ownership, leases of assets that are investments, or certain <br />regulated leases. <br />The City accounts for the partial or full lease termination by reducing the carrying values of the lease <br />receivable and related deferred inflow of resources, and recognizing a gain or loss for the difference. <br />However, if the lease is terminated as a result of the lessee purchasing an underlying asset from the City, the <br />carrying value of the underlying asset should be derecognized and included in the calculation of any resulting <br />gain or loss. <br />Leases that are considered a short-term lease (12 months or less) are not included in the measurement of the lease <br />receivable. The City recognizes short-term lease payments as revenues based on the payment provisions of <br />the lease contract. Liabilities are only recognized if payments are received in advance, and receivables are <br />only recognized if payments are received subsequent to the reporting period. <br />City as Lessee <br />The City is a lessee for noncancellable leases of property and equipment. The City recognizes a lease liability and an <br />intangible right -to -use lease asset at the beginning of a lease in the government -wide financial statements. In <br />general, the lease liability and the right -to -use assets are measured based on the present value of the expected <br />payments during the term of the lease. Remeasurement of a lease liability and right -to -use lease asset occurs <br />when there is a change in the lease term and/or other changes that are likely to have a significant impact on <br />the lease liability. <br />44 <br />
