FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes and net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when control of the products or services has transferred to the customer. Operating expenses Operating expenses are recognised in the income statement upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. Fixed assets Freehold buildings, fixtures and machinery are initially recognised at acquisition cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the company’s management. Buildings, fixtures and other equipment are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases: | Freehold buildings Straight line over expected useful life | Leasehold premises Term of the lease, not exceeding 50 years | Leasehold improvements | Motor vehicles 4 years Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the income statement within other income or other expenses. Intangible fixed assets Intangible assets, other than goodwill, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of the licences on a straight-line basis over the life of the licence. The residual value, if significant, is reassessed annually. Not exceeding the term of the lease | Plant and equipment | Fixtures and fittings | Computer equipment | Computer software 4 – 15 years 3 – 10 years 4 – 5 years 3 years
