At the end of the December 31, 2016 fiscal year, Yin Trucking Corporation, which follows IFRS 16, negotiated and closed a long-term lease contract for newly constructed truck terminals and freight storage facilities. The buildings were erected to the company's specifications on land owned by the company. On January 1, 2017, Yin Trucking Corporation took possession of the leased properties and made a cash payment of $1,048,000.

Although the useful life of each terminal is 40 years, the non-cancellable lease runs for 20 years from January 1, 2017, with a purchase option available upon expiration of the lease.

The 20-year lease is effective for the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2036. Advance rental payments of $900,000 are payable to the lessor on January 1 of each of the first 10 years of the lease term. Advance rental payments of $320,000 are due on January 1 for each of the last 10 years of the lease. The company has an option to purchase all of these leased facilities for $1 million on December 31, 2036, although their fair value at that time is estimated at $3 million. At the end of 40 years, the terminals and facilities will have no remaining value. Yin Trucking must also make annual payments on January 1 of each year to the lessor of $125,000 for property taxes and $23,000 for insurance. The lease was negotiated to assure the lessor a 6% rate of return.
