10. We read your response to comment 14. Y our representation that there was not a
provision for the transfer of ownership under the terms of the lease seems
contradictory to the notion that there is some value ascribable to an option to
purchase the land. Please confirm that th e terms of the origin al ground lease were
not modified through your acquisition of the property and that a new lease was
not executed between you and the ground le ssor, otherwise it would seem that you
should re-evaluate the classification of the lease under SFAS 13. Reference is
made to paragraph 15 of FIN 21. Also pl ease clearly disclose the terms of the
lease arrangement including any purchase opt ions. With respect to your proposal
to reflect the option as an unamortized intangible asset, provide your basis in
GAAP for this treatment under SFAS 141 and 142 and disclose the assumptions used in determining fair value of the option.
