The company applies the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Basic financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price 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. Financial assets and liabilities classified as receivable or payable within one year are not amortised.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs.
