| Is there any situation where you take a depreciation expense on an operating lease? I know you do on a capital lease but not sure about not ever taking on operating. Thanks. |

| Typically Operating Leases would not be depreciated, because the whole payment is an expense to the company. |

| Very true, with Operational Lease, the leased object will legally not be owned the company. It is better to consider operational lease as "rent". |
