Investment in Sublease

Note E – Investment in Sublease

The September 2017 amendment to the NYU Agreement provided for NYU to purchase all of the gamma knife equipment at the NYU Medical Center for a purchase price of $2,400,000, consisting of 41 monthly installments of $50,000 commencing at the end of October 2017 and continuing through the end of February 2021, with a final payment of $350,000 on March 31, 2021.  Upon receipt of final payment, title to all the equipment at the center passes to NYU. This amendment also required USN to reload the cobalt in the gamma knife and to reimburse NYU for certain costs NYU incurred due to the cobalt reload.

Effective October 1, 2018, USN completed the reload of the cobalt and associated costs for a total cost of $1,503,000. With the removal of the cobalt contingency, the NYU agreement was reevaluated to be a sales-type sublease between USN, the lessor, and NYU, the lessee. At the inception of a sales-type sublease, the lessor recognizes its gross investment in the sublease, unearned income and sales price. The initial sales price of $2,400,000 at September 2017 was valued at $2,447,000 at October 1, 2018, using the present value of future cash flows. The cost or carrying amount, if different, of the leased property plus any initial direct costs minus the present value of the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the lessor, was charged by the lessor against income in 2018

The monthly fixed payments under the NYU Agreement amortized the investment in sublease until title passed to NYU on March 31, 2021. The NYU Agreement required NYU to make monthly fixed payments of $30,000 and $50,000 through February 2021 with a final fixed payment of $380,000 ($30,000 and $350,000) in March 2021.
