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.
