(1)   Tangible or intangible assets used in operations having a useful life of more than one year 

which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Capital assets include:

whether acquired by purchase, construction, manufacture, exchange, or through a lease accounted for 

as financed purchase under Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) standards or a finance 

lease under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standards; and

renovations or alterations to capital assets that materially increase their value or useful life 

(not ordinary repairs and maintenance).
