Recognition and measurement
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like creditors, debtors, leasholders' current accounts and bank balances.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recongnised in profit or loss.
If there is decrease in the impairement loss arising from an event occuring after the imapirment 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 impairement reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
