Basis of preparation

Presentation currency

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover reduced as Education income was lower than the previous year following the expiry of an existing contract although it is expected to increase again in the next trading year.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Computer equipment

Debtors
In line with review pertaining to the privy council application, as outlined elsewhere, we have reviewed our policy with regard to debts beyond our standard payment terms. As a result of this all debts over a 12 month term have been written off and a full provisions made against all debts over a 6 month term
