Part 2 : For preceding part double-click [nRnsd8904Z]  
contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset have been transferred 
or the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the 
asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more 
recipients. A financial asset that is transferred qualifies for derecognition if 
the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the 
asset, or if the Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership but does transfer control of that asset.   
  
Financial liabilities  
  
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial assets and 
are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of 
the instrument. Financial liabilities are recorded initially at fair value, net 
of direct issue costs.  
  
They are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with 
interest-related charges recognised as an expense in finance cost in the income 
statement. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or 
redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to the income statement on an 
accruals basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying 
amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period 
in which they arise.  
  
A financial liability is derecognised only when the obligation is extinguished, 
that is, when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires.  When the 
obligation is extinguished by conversion to equity, a gain or loss is recognised 
in respect of the difference between the carrying value of the debt compared to 
the fair value of the shares issued.  
  
Cash and cash equivalents  
  
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together 
with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible 
into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value.  
  
Financial instruments and IFRS 1 - exemptions utilised by the Group  
  
Designation of previously recognised financial instruments  
  
The Group has elected to designate certain financial instruments at the date of 
transition to IFRS as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value 
through profit or loss.  
  
Equity  
  
Equity comprises the following:  
  
 
 * "Share capital" represents the nominal value of equity shares. 
 * "Share premium" represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of 
consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue. 
 * "Profit and loss reserve" represents retained profits. 
 * "Merger reserve" represents the excess of the nominal value of shares issued 
in the acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking and the nominal value of those 
shares.  
  
Foreign currencies  
  
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign 
currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 
date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign 
currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was 
determined.  
  
Any exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on 
translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were 
initially recorded are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which 
they arise. Exchange differences on non-monetary items are recognised in the 
statement of changes in equity to the extent that they relate to a gain or loss 
on that non-monetary item taken to the statement of recognised income and 
expenses, otherwise such gains and losses are recognised in the income 
statement.

4. Basic and diluted loss per share from total and continuing operations  
  
The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the losses attributable 
to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in 
issue during the period.    
  
The losses and weighted average number of shares used in the calculations are 
set out below.

Diluted earnings per share is taken as equal to basic earnings per share as the 
Group has recorded a loss and therefore the effect of including share options is 
anti-dilutive.
