CHINA MERCHANTS PORT HOLDINGS COMPANY LIMITED 120 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2021 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.23 Leases (continued) (ii) The Group as a lessee (continued) Lease modifications The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if: ‧ the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and ‧ the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. When the modified contract contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the modified contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. (iii) The Group as a lessor Classification and measurement of leases Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Rental income which are derived from the Group’s ordinary course of business are presented as revenue. Allocation of consideration to components of a contract When a contract includes both leases and non-lease components, the Group applies HKFRS 15 to allocate consideration in a contract to lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are separated from lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone selling prices.
