CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS – Cont’d 主要會計估計及判斷-續 (iv) Lease term and discount rate determination In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). Potential future cash outflows have not been included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably certain that the leases will be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee. In determining the discount rate, the Group is required to exercise considerable judgement in relation to determine the discount rate taking into account the nature of the underlying assets and the terms and conditions of the leases, at both the commencement date and the effective date of the modification. 36.
