IASB & FASB CHANGES
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) have released their latest version of the
revised proposal of accounting rules for real estate and equipment leases.
Public comments on this proposal will be accepted until September 13th
2013.
This revised draft continues to require lessee recognition of assets and
liabilities as rights and obligations created by a lease. An exemption in the
latest draft allows leases of 12 months or less (option to extend the lease
included) and an inconsequential portion of the assets to remain off balance
sheet. Requirement to recognize assets and liabilities can potentially cause
the shift towards short-term leases and in turn create an increase in credit risk
for building owners.
Under the current timeline, after assessing all the comments the boards
could approve a final rule by next year, with new rules taking full effect by
2017.

LAND SALE - BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA
ArcelorMittal, headquartered in Luxembourg is the largest steel company
in the world. It has attained this status through worldwide growth and
acquisitions. In the United States one of its many acquisitions was the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation which was America’s second largest steel
producer and its largest shipbuilder. Following Bethlehem’s bankruptcy in
2001, the company was dissolved and its assets were sold to the International
Steel Group, which merged with ArcelorMittal in 2005.
The many acquisitions by ArcelorMittal left them with redundant steel
mills and properties in the United States that represented untapped
cash. Ostendorf-Morris has represented ArcelorMittal in their real estate
dispositions in North America for many years. Most recently, OstendorfMorris was charged with selling the last eighty-eight (88) acres of vacant
and surplus land remaining at Bethlehem’s former steel plant located in the
Lehigh Valley area on the south side of Bethlehem, PA.
The site was a former slag disposal and reclamation area that presented
environmental, topographic and access issues. Working with the eventual
buyer, the Pennsylvania EPA and local city and building officials over a four
year period, all of the obstacles to developing the site were addressed
and overcome. The sale was completed in March, 2013 and the site is
currently under development to support industrial uses for distribution and
warehousing.
