collectability criterion on its operating leases on a lease by lease basis. In providing your
response, please tell us how the you considered the example in ASC 842-30-55-25,
whereby the collectability of lease payments is not probable at lease inception, but a
different conclusion is reached after the tenant has established a rental history.
