June 23, 2010 FASB Board Meeting
Leases. The Board discussed consequential amendments to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Board tentatively decided that all assets and liabilities arising from lease contracts acquired in a business combination should be measured in accordance with the proposed lease requirements. An acquirer should measure those assets and liabilities as if the lease arrangement was a new lease arrangement.
