Financial instruments |
Financial assets at amortised cost |
The company’s financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other debtors and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks. |
Financial liabilities |
The company does not have any liabilities held for trading nor does it voluntarily classify any financial liabilities as being at fair value through profit or loss. |
Trade creditors and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Offsetting financial instruments |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Share capital |
Financial instruments issued by the company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. |
The company's ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments. |
Convertible preference shares and redeemable preference shares |
These are separated into liability and equity components based on the terms of the contract. The liability component is a basic financial instrument. |
Preference shares with both equity and liability components are initially recognised in accordance with FRS 102 paragraph 22.13. The company first determines the amount of the liability component as the fair value of a similar liability that does not have a conversion feature or similar associated equity component. The amount of the liability component is calculated as the present value of the infinity dividend stream, discounted at a market interest rate. The company allocates the residual amount as the equity component. |
Taxation |
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. |

Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting. |
Preference dividends are recognised when paid, and classified as interest payments. |
Dividend income |
