Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the of the financial instrument's contractual obligations rather than its legal form.
The company's cash at bank and in hand and trade and other debtors and its trade and other creditors are measured initially at the transaction price, including transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
