Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for out of date and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs.
Stocks are regularly assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Short term debtors are measured at the transaction price, less any impairment.
