Accounting policies:

Debt, which constitutes a financial liability, includes short-term and long-term debt. Debt is initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and is subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Debt is classified as short-term unless the borrowing entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Debt is derecognised when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Premiums or discounts arising from the difference between the fair value of debt raised and the amount repayable at maturity date are charged to the income statement as finance expenses based on the effective interest rate method. A debt modification gain or loss is recognised immediately when a debt measured at amortised cost has been modified. The convertible bond is a hybrid financial instrument consisting of a non-derivative host representing the obligation to make interest payments and to deliver cash to the holder on redemption of the bond (‘the bond component’); and a conversion feature which is accounted for as an embedded derivative financial liability. The bond component was recognised at fair value at inception date. The fair value was determined by subtracting the fair value attributable to the embedded derivative from the fair value of the combined instrument. The bond component is measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate of 8,5%. The option component is recognised as a derivative financial liability, measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in profit or loss and reported separately in the statement of financial position in long-term financial liabilities.

The bond component and related embedded derivative are classified as current liabilities as the holders may convert at any time.

Refer to note 35 for the accounting policies relating to embedded derivatives.
