Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably
Rental income
Rental income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest receivable
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
