3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
(i) Fixed asset investments
Unlisted investments are measured at cost less impairment, as fair values cannot be reliably estimated. Appropriate provision is made, where applicable, for impairment of unlisted investments at the balance sheet date.

Listed investments are included at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement. The fair value is based on the mid-market value at the balance sheet date, as given in the portfolio valuation provided by Rathbones Investment Management Limited of 8 Finsbury Circus, London, EC2M 7AZ, which is based on Stock Exchange values. Provision is made for impairment of listed investments where there is considered to be a permanent diminution in value. Investments are listed on either the UK stock exchange, AIM or non-UK stock exchanges.

(ii) Other financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party, or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

(iii) Financial liabilities
Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Foreign currencies
Listed investments in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Members' interests
The LLP has eight classes of members - Class A, Class B, I-Pulse Nominees, Class B - I-Nexus 2015, Domainex TCF 2018, I -Nexus Global Loan Notes 2020, Domainex 2021 and Domainex 2026. Members' capital accounts have been classified as debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The terms of the entity's governing charter have been considered in determining the classification as debt or equity. The LLP agreement states that no member may withdraw their capital before the fifth anniversary of their admission to the LLP. As this anniversary was reached by 5 April 2009 for Class A members and 5 April 2014 for Class B members, their interests are regarded as debt.

I-Pulse Nominees, Class B - I-Nexus 2015, Domainex TCF 2018, I-Nexus Global Loan Notes 2020, Domainex 2021 and Domainex 2026 members' capital accounts have been classified as debt, to be consistent with the treatment of the Class A and B members' capital accounts.
