Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing
borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of
transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account
over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable
and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
