FASB ASC and IFRS Research Case
Snack That Sale and Leaseback
Snack That Inc. (“Snack That”) is a snack food and bakery product company with a large
manufacturing and distribution facility in Evansville, Indiana. Snack That frequently sends
employees from its smaller manufacturing and distribution facilities to Evansville for training
opportunities, as well as employees from its corporate office to perform quality checks and test
controls.
To manage travel expenses for hotel and vehicle rentals, Snack That owns a corporate housing
facility and shuttle to lodge and transport its employees to and from the manufacturing and
distribution facility.
In 2018, Snack That launched a corporate initiative to free up cash to fund a new snack product
line. As a result, on July 1, 2018, Snack That entered into a sale-and-leaseback arrangement with
Rent That Inc. (“Rent That”) for both its corporate housing facility and its shuttle. Assume the
agreement meets the definition of a contract under ASC 606-10-25-1 through 25-8 and that
certain of the indicators related to the transfer of control of a point-in-time performance
obligation (i.e., the housing facility and the shuttle being transferred from Snack That to Rent
That) in ASC 606-10-25-30 have been met. Further assume that the inception of the contract and
the commencement of the lease are both on July 1, 2018, and that Snack That adopted ASC 842
prior to 2018.
Key facts related to sale-and-leaseback transactions are as follows:
Corporate housing facility:
