Accounting policies
Each contract is assessed at inception, whether it constitutes or contains a lease. This is given, when the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for the period of use in exchange for substantially all of the economic benefits. Precious Woods elected to apply the recognition exemptions to short-term leases and low value leases. For such leases no right-of-use asset and no lease liability are recorded, instead the lease payments are recognized as operating expenses.
At the commencement date, the lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments to be made over the lease term. Incremental borrowing rates are used for the discount rates. The right-of-use asset corresponds initially to the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs, advance payments and dismantling or removing costs. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life. If at the end of the lease term the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee or the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option, then the right-of-use asset has to be depreciated according to the useful life defined for property, plant and equipment.
