Share Options

The Company operates share option schemes for certain employees (including directors). Options are exercisable at the option price agreed at the date of grant. The options are settled in equity once exercised. The expected life of the options is 5 years. All options issued in the period to 31 December 2020 vested immediately, with no vesting requirements.

Details of the number of share options and the weighted average exercise price (WAEP) outstanding during the period are as follows:

The share options outstanding at the end of the period have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.86 years and have the following exercise prices and fair values at the date of grant:

At 31 December 2020 245,000 options were exercisable (2019: 75,000).

For those options and warrants granted where IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment" is applicable, the fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The inputs into the model for the current and prior year were as follows:


              Risk free rate Share price volatility Expected life Share price at date of grant 
2 August 2018 1.00%          84%                    60 months     GBP0.50 
4 June 2020   0.63%          84%                    60 months     GBP0.60 

Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of similar listed companies share prices for 12 months prior to the date of grant. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

The Company therefore recognised total expenses of GBP1,000 relating to equity-settled share-based payment transactions during the period.

14            Financial instruments 
              The Company's financial instruments comprise cash at bank and payables which arise in the normal course 
              of business.  It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Company's policy that no 
              speculative trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.  The Company has been solely equity 
              funded during the period.  As a result, the main risk arising from the Company's financial instruments is 
              currency risk. 
 
              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 in note 
              2 of the accounts.

              Interest rate risk and liquidity risk 
              The Company is funded by equity, maintaining all its funds in bank accounts.  The Company's policy 
              throughout the period has been to minimise the risk of placing available funds on short term deposit. 
              The short-term deposits are placed with banks for periods up to 1 month according to funding 
              requirements. 
 
              The Company had no undrawn committed borrowing facilities at any time during the period. 
 
              Currency risk 
              The Company is directly exposed to currency risk of its investments, as they are based in Australia, and 
              exposed to movement against the Australian Dollar as their assets, liabilities, revenue and expenditure 
              are denominated therein.  The company is denominated in pound sterling. 
 
              Market risk 
              The company is not currently exposed directly to market risk in relation to its investments, as these are 
              not currently listed on any stock market anywhere in the world. 
 
              Fair values 
              Cash and cash equivalents (which are presented as a single class of assets on the face of the balance 
              sheet) comprise cash held by the company with an original maturity of three months or less.  The carrying 
              amount of these assets approximates their fair value.
