Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of bloodstock and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of bloodstock
Turnover from the sale of bloodstock is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the bloodstock has transferred to the buyer; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the bloodstock.
Rendering of services
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 is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
