| isida | minimum lease payments must be equal to or greater than 90% of the value of the asset; lease period must be 75% or greater than the estimated life of asset |
| Sp1993 | Do not mix up this classification criteria (75% of asset's economic life) with whether lease payments PV equals or exceeds 90% of the asset's fair market value |
| assiduous | This is specifically under US GAAP rules |
