The provision for onerous contracts has been recognised in respect
of rented office space, where the costs of the lease are higher than
the economic benefits expected to be generated by the contract.
The period for which the provision has been formed is equal to the
remaining period of the lease, which expires on 1 October 2010, but
will be reduced as and when the economic benefits are deemed
likely to exceed the costs. The discount rate applied to this provision
is equal to the expected future rate of increase in the rent.
