Turnover represents income earned from the provision of research and development services, software development, and related licensing income.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added tax.
Rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract when the outcome can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is assessed based on costs incurred to date as a proportion of total expected contract costs. Where the outcome of a contract cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of recoverable expenses incurred.
Licensing income
Where applicable, licence revenue is recognised over the period of the licence, unless the licence transfers a distinct right to use the intellectual property at a point in time, in which case revenue is recognised when control of that right transfers to the customer.
