NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 MARCH 2009 (CONTINUED)<br />
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)<br />
(k) Government grants<br />
204<br />
Grants from government are recognised at their fair values where there are reasonable assurances<br />
that the grants will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.<br />
Capital grants<br />
Government grants relating to capital expenditure are deferred and recognised in the income<br />
statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to<br />
compensate.<br />
Government grants relating to the purchase of plant and equipment are included in non-current<br />
liabilities as capital grant and are credited to the income statement on a straight line basis<br />
over the expected lives of the related assets.<br />
Income grants<br />
Income grants are grants other than capital grants and recognised in the income statement where<br />
there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all<br />
attached conditions.<br />
(l) Provisions<br />
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result<br />
of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the<br />
obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects<br />
a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when<br />
the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and<br />
adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. When the effect of the time value of money is material,<br />
the amount of provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle<br />
the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.<br />
(i) Warranties<br />
Provision is recognised for the estimated liability on all products under warranty in addition to<br />
claims already received and verified. Warranties are provided for a period of between one<br />
to three years for vehicles sold. The provision is based on experienced levels of claims arising<br />
during the period of warranty. When the Group expects warranties to be reimbursed from<br />
suppliers, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the<br />
reimbursement is virtually certain.
