Turnover Tumover is measured at the fair valu6 of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Tumover includes revenue eamed from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownersliip of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Tumover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stsge of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the incurred for work perfomied to date to the total estimated contract costs. Intanglbl• flxed a88•t8 Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisatson and any accumulats've impaimient losses. Tanglble flxed ass•ts Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative dePlatIOn and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciats'on is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less ests'mated residual value. of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as folk)ws: Freehold buildings Leasehold land and buildings Plant and machinery Fixtures, fitts"ngs, tools and equipment over 50 years over the lease tem over 5 years over 5 years Investments Investments in 8ubsidiarie8, 88sw.ates and joint ventures are measured at cost bess any accumulated impaiment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in whh case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impaimient losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account Stocks Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price l&ss costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in whh the related revenue is recognised. D•btorn Short term debtors are measured at transacbon price (which is usually the invoicL price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Read Academy Educatlon Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 Crndltors Short tem creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially re¢ognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequenty rneasured at amortised cost detemined using the effects've interest method. raxatlon A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in SpeCt of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a pvIOuS period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differen3 between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial ststements and their inclusion in tsx assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future tsxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substsnts'vely enacted by the reporh'ng date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued Lgnd and investment propety where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilttyes are not discounted. Provlslons Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, rt is probable that economic benefit will be transferred io settle the obligab'on and the amount of the obligats'on can be ests'mated reliably. Fornlgn currency tran81atlon Transactions in foreign currencies are inibally recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period fOIgn currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss. Leased as8•ts A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Thè rights of use and obligalions under finance leases are inrtially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or. rf bwer. the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effecb've Inte$t rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining baknce of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tsngible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end ol the lease temi, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease tem and its useful life. Operats'ng lease payments are recognised as an expense on a Strahl line basis over the lease term. Penslons Contributions to defined contribution tyans are expensed in the period to which they relate. 2 Employe 2024 2023
