Turnover relates to the production of a TV programme. It represents the value of work done in the period, including estimates of amounts not invoiced and is stated after trade discounts, other taxes and net of VAT.
The value of work done in relation to long-term contracts and continuing services is determined by reference to the stage of completion of the relevant 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 is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
