A lease can be classified as finance lease on meeting the recognition criteria. Lease to be classified as finance lease should be equal to 75% of the economic life of the lease property. If this condition is not met it is classified as operating lease. The lease term is calculated dividing lease period by total economic life of the lease property. Rest of the 3 conditions are part of recognition criteria for finance lease.
