ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** ## **Financial instruments** The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## **Basic financial assets** Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. **"T'---'-11 dUC UCU\UI ;::, -'-'-"--1uo11.:, •--•-• di IU _..,._J _.._, _ ,. �-vu n:: a I c::a ...

Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument to the net carrying amount on initjaJ recognition. ## **Impairment of financial assets** Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. > If thP.rP. i� ::i rlP.r.rP.::t�P. in thP. imn::rmP.nt In�� ::iri�inn fmm ::in P.VP.nt nr- r.11rrinn ::tftP.r thP. imn:: rmP.nt w::i� rP.rnnni�P.rl - thP. imp;ir�e�t is �;v�;;;d.

The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. ## **Oerecognition of financial assets** Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. ## **Basic financial liabilities** Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppiiers. Accounts payabie are ciassified as current iiabiiities if payment is due within one year or iess. if not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. continued ...
