Disclosure of long or short period

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, rebates and discounts.

Turnover from production services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. This is determined by the value of the services provided at the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total value of the project. Excess production funds received are treated as deferred income and held on the balance sheet until further costs are incurred. At this point the deferred income is released to the statement of comprehensive income as turnover. When the outcome cannot be reliably estimated, turnover is recognised only to the extent that expenses recognised are recoverable.

The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Work in progress comprises costs incurred in the production and development of television programmes. The amount is deferred until the delivery of the programme and written off to profit or loss as programmes are recouped or sold. Where work in progress is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to net realisable value, with impaired loss recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.
