Exactly! Depreciating Capital Asset.

Businesses depreciate long-term assets for both tax and accounting purposes. The former affects the balance sheet of a business or entity, and the latter affects the net income that they report. Generally the cost is allocated, as depreciation expense, among the periods in which the asset is expected to be used.

Our friend Cryptofan surmises the following...makes sense

Actually, if I read the 8k correctly, $USRM sold their equipment assets to GACP, then turned around and leased the same equipment FROM GACP at a base rate of $20,000 per month plus a graduated amount to increase over time.

This, in a way, makes good sense if the equipment's no longer capable of being depreciated on the taxable assets of $USRM. So they sell it to GACP so that it's no longer on their books, then lease the equipment from GACP. It reduces their taxable asset burden and may also provide them with a service cost to write off.

The $2.5 Million strategic investment is a nice bit of news, also
