Turnover is recognised net of any applicable discounts and Value Added Tax. The company provides
engineering consultancy services which at times can be provided over the course of a few weeks or
months. The income is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of this work, so far as this can
be reliably measured. Any ongoing works which are in process at the reporting date are considered and
where it is possible to get a reliable estimate on the value of work completed this is included as a debtor
and is included within trade debtors within the accounts
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
