NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS<br />

2. Principal accounting policies (Cont’d)<br />

2.20 REVENUE RECOGNITION<br />

(a) Sales of goods<br />

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which<br />

generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.<br />

(b) Interest income<br />

Interest income is recognised when it is earned on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest<br />

method.<br />

(c) Gross earnings from investments in finance leases<br />

Gross earnings from investments in finance leases are recognised on the basis as set out in note 2.21(a).<br />

(d) Rental income<br />

Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.<br />

(e) Royalty income<br />

Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis.<br />

2.21 LEASES<br />

(a) Finance leases (as the lessor)<br />

HKAS 17 defines a lease as being an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a<br />

payment, or series of payments, the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time.<br />

When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as<br />

a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised<br />

as unearned finance income.<br />

Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method, which reflects a<br />

constant periodic rate of return.<br />

(b) Operating leases (as the lessee)<br />

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company<br />

are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives from<br />

the leasing company are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.<br />
