Operating Leases
The Company has entered into leases for various properties used for auctions or offices, the majority of which are non-cancellable. The Company also has leases for computer equipment, software, motor vehicles and small office equipment where it is not in the best interest of the Company to purchase these assets.
With the exception of one lease expiring in 2092, the majority of the Company's operating leases have a fixed term with a remaining life between one month and 16 years, with renewal options included in the contracts. The leases have varying contract terms, escalation clauses and renewal options. Generally, there are no restrictions placed upon the lessee by entering into these leases, other than restrictions on use of property, sub-letting and alterations. The Company has not included any purchase options available within its operating lease portfolio in its determination of its operating lease liability.
