Other accounting policies
Leasing and hire purchase commitments
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those where
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the company, are
capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease
or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability.
The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the
period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments
outstanding.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease
term.
