- Definition

The unamortized amount of long-term liabilities that an Entity assumes in consideration for the estimated fair value of the Entity's share of buildings in the build out of leased facilities plus any tenant improvement allowance received from landlords. As the Entity retains sufficient continuing involvement following the completion of construction, for accounting purposes, the Entity is treated as the owner of the leased facilities and to record an imputed financing obligation for its obligation to the legal owners.
