Turnover represents the fair value of consideration receivable for the production and exploitation of television content, stated net of value added tax and trade discounts.
Production income
The company accounts for each production as a separate project, with income and associated production costs recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the production activity at the balance sheet date, where the outcome can be measured reliably. Stage of completion is assessed by reference to the proportion of production costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total production costs.
Turnover typically comprises amounts receivable under production, commissioning, and co-production agreements. Where contracts include multiple performance obligations, consideration is allocated to each element based on the substance of the contractual arrangement.
License and distribution income
Licence and distribution income is recognised when the relevant rights are made available to the customer in accordance with the terms of the agreement, typically on delivery and acceptance of the completed programme or on commencement of the licence period.
