11.3

Adoption of IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to lease accounting as it removes the distinction between operating and finance leases under IAS 17 and requires a lessee to recognise a right of use asset and a lease liability at commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. IFRS 16 brings the majority of the group’s long-term property, equipment, vehicles and other leases onto the statement of financial position.

The group has elected to apply IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. As prescribed by IFRS 16, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The group has elected to measure right-of-use assets on transition date (1 October 2019) at their carrying amounts as if IFRS 16 had applied since the lease commencement dates, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

11.4

Right of use assets

The group has lease contracts for various items of property, vehicles, information technology and plant and equipment used in its operations. The property leases have lease terms between two to 10 years, vehicles between one to eight years, and all other leases are between two to five years. The group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets.

Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognised and the movements during the period:
