Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and can be reliably measured.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
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, only when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• the turnover amount can be measured reliably
• it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract
• the stage of the completion of the contract at the end of the period can be measured reliably, and
• the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably
