A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the

contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement

constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments

discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables , loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

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 initial recognition.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of

impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment

loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal

does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would

have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

Trade receivables disclosed above are classified as loans and receivables and are therefore measured at amortised cost.
