Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at fair value after making provision in respect of future returns of goods and services supplied by the company prior to the balance sheet date. Income is deferred only to the extent that contractual obligations have not been met at period end. The turnover and profit before tax is attributable to the principal activity of the company and arose in the United Kingdom
