18. CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

All financial instruments are measured under IFRS 9 at amortised cost.

Capital risk management

The Group considers its capital to comprise its share capital and share premium. The Group’s capital management objectives are to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

Significant Accounting Policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed on pages 22 to 30 to these financial statements.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has minimal exposure to the differing types of foreign currency risk. It has no foreign currency denominated monetary assets or liabilities and does not make sales or purchases from overseas countries.

Interest rate risk

The Group is sensitive to changes in interest rates where interest is charged on a variable rate basis. This risk has been minimized by:

- the bank loan being repaid in full during the year, which was on a variable rate basis,

- renegotiation of interest rates on some of the other loans from 10% to 5% (all fixed rates),

- partial repayments made in the year on other loans and,

- the Paragon mortgages which are on a fixed rate for the first five years of the seven year term.

The impact of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on these loans would result in additional interest cost for the year of £ Nil (2020: £14,794).

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Liquidity risk management

This is the risk of the Group not being able to continue to operate as a going concern.

The Directors have, after careful consideration of the factors set out above, concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the going concern basis was not appropriate.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group does not currently use derivative financial instruments as hedging is not considered necessary.

Should the Group identify a requirement for the future use of such financial instruments, a comprehensive set of policies and systems as approved by the Directors will be implemented.
