Basic financial assets including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financial transaction, where the transaction is measured at present value of the future receipts discounted at the market rate of interest.

Going concern |
|
The company has a profit this year and will be profitable in the future as in accordance with the group TP policy the company is entitled to a fixed margin on the services provided to the parent company. The company also has positive equity and positive net current assets. |
