Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether unearned finance income for a lessor under AS 19 leases is considered profit or loss. It confirms that under accrual accounting, lease rental receivables are recognised as income in the first year. Subsequent cash receipts reduce receivables and increase cash, consistently treating the income as profit.

Currently reporting is based on accruals. So assuming this is the case, all Lease rental receivables is recognised in the first year in income statement. Then, when cash on instalments is received, receivables will reduce and cash will increase. So, it will always be treated as a profit.

To unearned lease rental 200
