Obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. SALGA ordinarily concludes these leasing arrangements for a period that ranges up to 36 months. The average lease period for leased office equipment is 36 months. The average remaining lease term is 17 months and the average effective interest rate implicit in the lease was 10% (2016: 9%). Interest rates are fixed at the contract date. All leases have fixed repayments and no arrangements have been entered into for contingent rent. There are purchase options entered into on these leased assets. SALGA does not renew the leases upon expiry as the useful life approximates the lease term. SALGA’s obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessor’s claim over the leased assets, in an instant where SALGA defaults on the contractual lease payments. Refer to note 3. Leased assets with a carrying amount of R  1 233 772 (2016: R  1  439  783) are subject to the lessors’ restrictions in terms of movement (relocation). 206
