Revenue recognition
|
|
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met as described below. |
|
|
|
Sale of goods
|
|
| Sales of goods are recognised when the company has delivered the goods to the customer, no other significant obligation remains unfulfilled that may affect the customer's acceptance of the products and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. |
|
|
|
Rendering of Services
|
|
| Revenue from provision of services rendered in the reporting period is recognised when the outcome of a transaction for the rendering of services can be estimated reliably in terms of revenue, costs and its stage of completion of the specific transaction at the end of the reporting period. The stage of completion is determined on the basis of the actual completion of a proportion of the total services to be rendered. When the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably the company only recognises revenue to the extent of the recoverable expenses recognised. |
|
|
Borrowing costs
|
|
| All borrowing related costs are included within the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Property, plant and equipment
|
|
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Part of an item of property, plant and equipment having different useful lives are accounted for as separate items.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
| | Asset class and depreciation rate | | Land and Buildings | | | Plant and Machinery | 10% reducing balance | | Short Leasehold Properties | | | Investment Properties | | | Long Leasehold Properties | | | Commercial Vehicles | | | Fixtures and Fittings | | | Equipment | | | Motor Cars | |
|
|
Inventories
|
|
| Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-in-first-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs necessary to make the sale. |
|
|
Leases
|
|
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The company as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases,the aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. |
|
|
Employee benefits
|
|
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. |
