Assume you leased space in September 2007 with a three month construction period starting in June 2007. You received 6 months of free rent and $25/sf in landlord paid construction costs.
Now you need to sublease the space and based on GAAP you have determined the date it will become "excess/obsolete" space is April 2009.
In addition to the sublease related costs, you will incur the following:
- $50,000 in moving costs,
- $125,000 needs to be refunded to an Economic Development Agency,
- A write-off of $150,000 in unamortized depreciation,
- Restoration Costs of $235,500 of which $100,000 has already been accrued.
Current Costs
Your current cash rent as of April 2009 is $32.96 with 3% increases every June.
The original lease was a Full Service lease with a 2007 base year.
Your P&L rent has been straight-lined taking into account
- The 3 month construction period,
- The free rent AND
- The rent credit (based on GAAP) for amortizing the landlord paid construction costs over the lease term.
The CHALLENGE
Create a sublease analysis that includes the following:
- A Cash Flow Cost Recovery,
- An estimated buyout amount,
- A GAAP compliant Write-Off and Cost Recovery, and
- Then compare those costs to a Cash and GAAP based restructuring budget.
