d3. Interest Rate Risk
The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk, changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of its financial instruments, principally debt. Any movement in the reference rates could have an impact on the Company’s cash flows as well as costs. The Company is subject to variable interest rates on some of its interest bearing liabilities.

43 f. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activity

43 g. In respect of some financial assets the Company does not recognise a gain or loss on initial recognition of a financial asset or
financial liability because the fair value is neither evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) nor based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets. The Company has so concluded because these financial assets are interest free deposits made by the company.
