      <Paragraph>Economic recapture is available for calculatory books. When the economic
recapture check box is checked and the asset is fully depreciated (which means
its net-book-value is zero), depreciation will continue to occur. The
depreciation is posted to an economic recapture account rather than the normal
depreciation expense or calculatory depreciation account.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Economic recapture always uses a straight line method based on the asset book
life and the asset cost at the time the book was fully depreciated. It continues
until you deselect the economic recapture check box, or until the transfer or
disposal of asset.
Economic recapture does not increase the life-to-date or year-to-date
accumulated depreciation of the asset book.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Remaining life displayed on the asset book is always zero during economic
recapture. The last depreciation date is updated as economic recapture
progresses. This allows you to determine through what date economic recapture
has occurred.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Restate depreciation can undo or recalculate economic recapture. If the
additional posting check box is checked during economic recapture, the
additional periodic posting amount is added to the amount of economic recapture
and the sum is posted to the economic recapture account(s). If an additional
posting method is supplied, this is ignored since economic recapture is always
based on the straight depreciation method.</Paragraph>
