For deductible temporary differences, available tax losses and unused tax credits, a deferred tax asset is recognised, but only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available for set-off or compensation. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset in the balance sheet if the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, insofar as they relate to the same financial year and deferred tax assets relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable Company, or the same fiscal unity.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets is based on the tax consequences following from the manner in which the Company expects, at the balance sheet date, to realise or settle its assets, provisions, debts and accrued liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at nominal value.
There are no deferred taxes applicable to the Company.
2.3 Notes to the financial statements (continued)
Cash flow statement
The annual accounts for 2020 of the Company's ultimate parent company (REAH) include a consolidated cash flow statement for the group as a whole. Accordingly, the Company has elected to use the exemption provided under RJ 360.104 and does not present its own cash flow statement. The annual report of REAH can be obtained from the website www.rea.co.uk.
Determination of fair value
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount for which an asset can be sold or a liability settled, involving parties who are well informed regarding the matter, willing to enter into a transaction and are independent from each other.
The fair value of listed financial instruments is determined on the basis of the last trade prior to the balance sheet date.
The fair value of the loan to REAH is determined by reference to the fair value of the sterling notes.
Related parties
Transactions with related parties are assumed when a relationship exists between the Company and a natural person or entity that is affiliated with the Company. This includes, amongst others, the relationship between the Company and its subsidiaries, its parent company shareholder, directors and key management personnel.
Transactions are transfers of resources, services or obligations, regardless of whether anything has been charged.
Subsequent events
Events that provide further information on the actual situation at the balance sheet date and that appear before the financial statements are being prepared, are recognised in the financial statements.
Events that provide no information on the actual situation at the balance sheet date are not recognised in the financial statements. When those events are relevant for the economic decisions of users of the financial statements, the nature and the estimated financial effects of the events are disclosed in the financial statements.

The loan to REAH bore interest at 8.9283 per cent from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020 and at 9.007 per cent from 1 April 2020 to 31 December 2020 (2019: 8.9283 per cent). The rate was changed following a transfer pricing review by the Company's tax adviser. The effective rate for 2020 was 8.99 per cent (2019: 8.9283 per cent).
The loan is repayable on 20 August 2025 (2019: repayable on 20 August 2020). On 31 March 2020, a general meeting of holders of the sterling notes agreed proposals to extend the repayment date of the sterling notes to 31 August 2025. As a consequence, the Company has agreed with REAH to extend the loan to 20 August 2025.
A premium of 4p per GBP1 nominal of notes is now payable on redemption of the notes on 31 August 2025 (or earlier in the event of default) or on surrender of the sterling notes in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the subscription price payable on exercise of warrants issued by REAH on the final subscription date. As a consequence, the Company has agreed with REAH that an amount equivalent to the premium, if any, payable on redemption of the sterling notes shall be aggregated with the loan which is now repayable on 20 August 2025.
The sterling notes and loan were not derecognised and recognised as a new liability and asset, because a substantial modification of terms was not deemed to have occurred. The extension of the repayment date and the addition of the premium payable on redemption were the quantitative criteria considered. As the discounted present value of the cash flows at market rate under the new terms was less than 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability and asset, there was no substantial modification so there was no requirement to derecognise the sterling notes or loan and account for new financial instruments.The Company has therefore calculated the amortised cost of the financial asset and liability as the present value of the future contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial instrument's effective interest rate of 8.75 per cent and 9.007 per cent respectively.
The loan represents the on-lending of proceeds from the issue of the sterling notes. The interest receivable on the loan is based on a formula from which the Company derives a fixed margin over the cost of funding. This margin was determined by an independent adviser by applying the CAPM method to determine the remuneration for the Company's equity at risk. The TNMM cost plus method determined the profit remuneration on the financial services performed by the Company. The economic analysis showed that a gross financing margin of 25.7 basis points could be considered in line with market conditions for the Company's financing activities.
