7.1.19 Equity<br />
(i) Equity and liabilities<br />
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the underlying financial<br />
reality.<br />
(ii) Own shares<br />
In the event of a share buy-back, the purchase price and any directly associated costs are recognised as<br />
a change in equity. Own shares are reported as a reduction in equity. Gains or losses on share buyback<br />
transactions are not recognised.<br />
(iii) Costs arising from equity transactions<br />
Transaction costs directly linked to an equity transaction are recognised directly in equity after a<br />
deduction for tax.<br />
(iv) Other equity<br />
(a) Exchange differences<br />
Exchange differences arise in connection with currency differences on consolidation of foreign<br />
operations.<br />
On disposal of a foreign operation, cumulative exchange differences are reversed and recognised in<br />
profit or loss in the same period in which the gain or loss on the disposal is recognised.<br />
(b) Hedge reserve<br />
The hedge reserve includes all net changes in fair value for financial instruments designated as<br />
available for sale until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be<br />
impaired.<br />
7.1.20 Revenue recognition<br />
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the<br />
company and the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales revenue is stated net of VAT and discounts.<br />
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when delivery has taken place and the significant risks and<br />
rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer.<br />
Revenue from the sale of services and long-term manufacturing projects is recognised by reference to<br />
the stage of completion, when the transaction outcome can be measured reliably.<br />
Royalties are recognised in accordance with the substance of the relevant royalty agreement.<br />
Interest income is recognised as interest accrues.<br />
Dividends are recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established by the<br />
annual general meeting.<br />
7.1.21 Foreign currency<br />
Transactions in currency other than the functional currency<br />
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates existing at the date of the<br />
transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to functional currency<br />
using the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in<br />
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated to functional currency using the exchange<br />
rates at the dates of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency<br />
are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange<br />
differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.<br />
