The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments and financial liabilities.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including other creditors and accruals, are initially measured at transaction price unless the arrangment constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.
