Assets held under finance leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased
asset and the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of
the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor, net of finance charges, is included in the
statement of financial position under other non-current/current liabilities. Each lease
payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. Finance charges, which
represent the difference between the total lease commitments and fair value of the assets
acquired, are charged to profit or loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce
a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the obligation for each
accounting period.
In all significant finance lease arrangements in place during the period, the group acted as
the lessee. |
