The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments – trade debtors and trade creditors and directors loans.

Trade debtors, trade creditors and directors loans (being repayable on demand) are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
