See below illustration of the above points.

20.12.1.2.1 Accounting policy note

Example 10A: Extract from an accounting policy note and the related disclosures – Operating Lease

Lessors

Leases

(i) Operating leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments received under operating leases (net of any incentives provided to the lessee) are recognised as income in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(ii) Lease incentives

Incentives received to enter into a finance lease reduce the fair value of the asset and are included in the calculation of present value of future minimum lease payments.

Incentives received to enter into an operating lease are debited to the profit and loss account, to reduce the lease income, on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

20.12.2.2 OmniPro comment

Section 20.16 of FRS 102 provides the disclosure requirements for lessees in relation to operating leases See below for application of these requirements. These differ from old GAAP as the total lease payments are required to be disclosed. Note it is the actual payments that are disclosed. The release of the lease incentive is ignored if applicable.

20.12.4.2.1 Accounting policy disclosures

Example 12: Extract from an accounting policy note and related disclosures for financial statements of lessees: finance leases

Leases

 Finance leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred by the lessor are classified as finance leases.

Tangible fixed assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The capital element of the lease obligation is recorded as a liability and the interest element of the finance lease rentals is charged to the profit and loss account on an annuity basis.

Each lease payment is apportioned between the liability and finance charges using the effective interest method.

20.12.5.2.1 Accounting policy disclosure
Example 13: Extract from an accounting policy note and related disclosures for financial statements of lessors: finance leases

Gross earnings

Gross earnings comprises the finance charge element of lease rentals, the profit or loss generated on the termination of lease agreements and administration fees pertaining to lease agreements. Gross earnings are stated net of trade rebates and trade discounts, and exclusive of value added tax.

Finance lease and hire purchase agreements

Finance charges are allocated to periods so as to give a constant rate of return on the net cash investment in the lease. The total net investment included in the balance sheet represents total lease payments receivable, net of finance charges relating to future periods. Bad debts are charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which they occur. Recoveries of bad debts previously charged to the profit and loss account are credited to the profit and loss account upon recovery of the bad debt. The net investment in finance lease and hire purchase agreements is stated net of a bad and doubtful debt provision.

20.12.5.2.2 Extract from notes to the financial statements

All of the assets were acquired from other group undertakings. Assets relating to agreements terminated during the first three years of the primary term, for reasons other than upgrade or settlement, are the subject of a ‘buyback’ agreement.  The buyback value is dependent on the age of the asset and is calculated as a percentage of the capital value of the asset. The residual value is assumed to be nil at the end of the lease term.
