Notes to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Interim</strong> Financial Statements<br />
12 Finance lease commitments<br />
Upon placement of P200 equipment at a customer site, <strong>the</strong> healthcare professional typically<br />
enters into a three-year lease agreement with a third-party provider of vendor finance. <strong>Optos</strong><br />
enters into a matching finance agreement with <strong>the</strong> third-party provider of vendor finance involving<br />
<strong>the</strong> transfer of P200 equipment to <strong>the</strong> finance provider with legal title being transferred back to<br />
<strong>Optos</strong> at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> <strong>period</strong>. As <strong>the</strong> significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained by<br />
<strong>Optos</strong>, <strong>the</strong> proceeds received from <strong>the</strong> third-party providers of vendor finance are recorded as<br />
finance lease obligations, which are repayable by instalments and are secured over <strong>the</strong> related<br />
P200 assets.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> <strong>six</strong> <strong>month</strong>s to <strong>31</strong> <strong>March</strong> <strong>2009</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Group raised additional funding through vendor<br />
finance of $16,685,000 (<strong>March</strong> 2008: $23,225,000; Sept 2008: $51,286,000) and made<br />
repayments to third-party providers of vendor finance of $21,836,000 (<strong>March</strong> 2008: $20,621,000;<br />
Sept 2008: $43,422,000). Total finance lease commitments outstanding at <strong>31</strong> <strong>March</strong> <strong>2009</strong> were<br />
$80,741,000 (<strong>March</strong> 2008: $80,305,000; Sept 2008:$85,892,000).<br />
