<strong>Separate</strong> <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong> as of 31 December <strong>2007</strong><br />
Other provisions<br />
Provisions are recorded for other future charges deriving from court cases, disputes and other<br />
obligations when the requirements for the recognition of a liability are met, being in the<br />
accounting period in which such charges become known and measurable reliably.<br />
Income<br />
Revenue<br />
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of<br />
economic have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from the sale of goods is generally<br />
recognised when they are handed over to the transport firms which, under the terms of current<br />
contracts, marks the time when the above risks and rewards are transferred. Revenue is not<br />
recognised if its recoverability is considered to be uncertain.<br />
Revenue is stated net of discounts, allowances, rebates and returns, and does not include the<br />
proceeds from the disposal of raw materials and scrap. Revenue from services is recorded in the<br />
income statement based on the stage of completion at the balance sheet date, determined with<br />
reference to the work performed or, alternatively, to the percentage of completion with respect<br />
to the total.<br />
Dividends<br />
Collectible dividends are recognised as revenue when they are declared at the related meeting.<br />
Grants<br />
Grants from the government or other bodies, recognised in the form of direct payments or tax<br />
benefits, are recognised as deferred income in the balance sheet, among other liabilities, at the<br />
time their collection becomes reasonably certain and when compliance with all the<br />
requirements to obtain them is assured. They are recognised as revenue in the income statement<br />
on a systematic basis in order to match the accounting recognition of the costs for which such<br />
grants were made.<br />
Grants related to income are taken to the income statement at the time the requirements for their<br />
recognition are met, and when it becomes certain that they will be recognised in order to offset<br />
the eligible costs.<br />
Other income<br />
Other income includes all forms of non-financial revenue not covered above and is recognised<br />
on the basis described in relation to revenue from goods sold and services rendered. This<br />
includes the capitalisation of internally-incurred development costs, where appropriate, and any<br />
internal construction costs.<br />
Expenses<br />
The costs of purchasing goods and services are recognised when the amounts concerned can be<br />
determined reliably. The costs of purchasing goods are recognised on delivery which, under the<br />
terms of current contracts, marks the time when the related risks and rewards are transferred.<br />
The costs of services are recognised on an accruals basis with reference to the time they are<br />
received.<br />
Materials, services, leases and rentals<br />
This caption comprises the cost of purchasing raw materials, components, outsourced direct and<br />
indirect processing, and production, commercial, distribution and administrative services.<br />
