At the inception of the lease, the said fixed assets were recognized in the statement of financial position in amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments determined at the inception of the lease.
Finance leases presented by the Group in this note concern mainly computer hardware. Under the finance lease agreement for computer hardware and the general terms and conditions of the lease, substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred onto the lessee. Additionally, the Group entered into an agreement with the option to purchase the hardware at a price corresponding to its market value, considering the fact that the nature of the leased assets is so unique that only the Group can use them without major modifications.
