Financial instrumènts Financial as5els and financial Ilabllities are recognised when the company becomes a paty to the contractual provislons of the Instrument. Flnanclal liabillties and equlty instruments are classffied according to the Substan￿ of the contractua arrangements entered into.

All financial assels and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction.

ImpalThent of assets Financial assets and financial liabiliknes are recognised when the company t£comes a party to the contractual provisions of the inslrurnent. Assets are assessed for indicators of impairmenl at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment lo55 is re¢ognised in profit and loss as described below. Non financial assets An asset is impaired when the￿ is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has i￿n reduced. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and Jts valuè in use. Financial assets For financial assets carried at cost less impairment. the impaimient loss is the difference bets¥een the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were sold at the reporting date.
