The difference between the fair value of these properties and the sale proceeds arising from the sale and leaseback, was being accounted for as other loans and amortised over the lease term of 35 years. On 26 January 2010, the freehold interests of these properties were sold by the former freeholder to a new third party, Matterhorn Capital. On the date of the sale, the leases were varied to increase the annual rents payable and remove the tenant's option to break the lease. Following these modifications, the leases have been reclassified as finance leases resulting in £74 million of finance lease liabilities as at 26 January 2010.
