Finance Leases & Accounting Equation

So as we go through the years of a finance lease, the book value of the lease (asset) and the fair value of the liability will temporarily go out of balance (depreciate one, pay down w/ interest the other).  So what gives to keep A=L+E?  Retained earnings?  Cash?  This example is from the blue box in schweser pg 53, but they don’t really say where the difference is made up.

Retained earnings: depreciation expense and interest expense go through the income statement, then to RE.
