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.

Preference shares classified as liabilities consist of 343,000 4% non-cumulative redeemable preference shares of £1 each. The preference shares carry no voting rights. The preference shares are owned by the company's parent company.

The ordinary shares rank equally for voting purposes, dividends declared and in respect of distributions made on a winding up.
