Financial assets
The loans bearing interest are initially recorded at fair value, less direct costs of issue. Financial income is added to
the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that it is not received in the period in which it occurs.
The Company's business model for financial assets management refers to the way it manages its financial assets in
order to generate cash flows: financial assets are classified and measured at amortised cost, as they are held in a
business model with the objective of holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows.
The Company applies the low credit risk simplification: at every reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the
financial asset is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available
without undue cost or effort. In addition, the Company considers that there will be a significant increase in credit
risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
In addition to the low credit-risk simplification explained above, if the recoverable amount of a financial asset is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
These impairment losses are immediately recognised as expenses in the income statement. When an impairment loss
recognised in a prior period no longer exists or needs to be written down, the carrying amount of the asset is
increased to the extent of the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, this increased carrying amount
may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised
for the asset in prior years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in income in the income
statement.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised when:
- the rights to receive cash flow from the asset have expired;
- the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in
full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass through’ arrangement; or
- the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the
extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a
guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the
maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Other receivables
Trade and other accounts receivables are current financial assets initially recognised at fair value; this generally
corresponds to the nominal value, in the absence of a significant discounting effect. Upon each closing, the
receivables are appraised at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, minus any losses in value
taking account of any possible risk of expected credit losses according to IFRS 9.
Cash assets and cash-equivalents
Cash and cash-equivalents consist of cash in hand, bank balances and short-term deposits in money market
instruments. These investments, with maturities less than three months, are easily convertible into cash, and are
subject to negligible risks of changes in value and risks of non-transferability.
Trade and other payables
Other financial liabilities (trade payables, other payables) represent liabilities for goods and services provided to
the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid
within 30-60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not
due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are initially recognised at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of other financial
liabilities is estimated to be close to the carrying amount, as these payables are due with a short-term maturity.
Other financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
