Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised on the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provision of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally 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 debtors and cash and bank balance, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective rate of interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing arrangement, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest are method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods are services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective rate of interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue trading for the foreseeable future. In particular, the director reviewed the obligations under the company's finance documents and is satisfied that the company will continue to meet these obligations. Therefore the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
