Hi Peter and KC,

I was doing an analysis on a company (BAUTO), and realized that from 2014 to 2019, there is interest expense but no total debts. How is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Voon,

You can download the company’s annual reports, and then see the income statement if there is “Interest Expense”, and also in the balance sheet if there is any Loans. 
Then check the notes on “Interest Expense” for the explanations.
One possibility is Lease contracts.
