Other accounting policies
Stock and work in progress
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at
the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an
obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax, with the following exceptions:
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than
not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing
differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.

Grants
Grants are credited to deferred revenue. Grants towards capital expenditure are released to the profit
and loss account over the expected useful life of the assets. Grants towards revenue expenditure are
released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred.
