Extraordinary session <strong>Italcementi</strong> S.p.A. <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> Consolidated financial statements 63<br />
The net realizable value of finished goods and semi-finished goods is the estimated selling price in the ordinary<br />
course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs to sell.<br />
1.14. Trade receivables and other receivables<br />
Trade receivables and other receivables are stated at fair value plus transaction costs, less allowances for<br />
uncollectible amounts, which are provided as doubtful debts are identified.<br />
Derecognition of financial assets:<br />
The <strong>Group</strong> derecognizes all or part of the financial assets when:<br />
the contractual rights on the assets in question have expired;<br />
it transfers the near totality of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset or does not<br />
transfer and does not even substantially maintain all the risks and rewards but transfers control of the<br />
assets.<br />
1.15. Cash and cash equivalents<br />
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, bank demand deposits and other treasury investments<br />
with original maturity of not more than three months. Current account overdrafts are treated as financing and<br />
not as a component of cash and cash equivalents.<br />
The definition of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows is identical to that in the statement<br />
of financial position.<br />
1.16. Income taxes<br />
Current income taxes are provided in accordance with local tax laws in the countries where the <strong>Group</strong><br />
operates. Deferred tax is recognized using the liability criterion, based on temporary differences between the<br />
tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.<br />
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized<br />
for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is<br />
probable that future taxable income will be available against which such differences, losses or credits may be<br />
reversed.<br />
Taxable or deductible temporary differences do not generate recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets<br />
only in the following cases:<br />
taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, unless goodwill is taxdeductible;<br />
taxable or deductible temporary differences arising from initial recognition of an asset or a liability in<br />
transactions that are not business combinations and affect neither accounting profit nor taxable profit at the<br />
transaction date;<br />
equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures when:<br />
a) the <strong>Group</strong> is able to control the timing of the reversal of the taxable temporary differences and it is<br />
probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future;<br />
b) it is not probable that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and that<br />
taxable income will be available against which the temporary difference can be used;<br />
deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of every reporting period and reduced to the extent that<br />
sufficient taxable income is no longer likely to be available in the future against which the assets can be<br />
used in full or in part.<br />
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined at tax rates expected to apply when the deferred tax asset<br />
(liability) is realized (settled), based on rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting<br />
date.<br />
Taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity, not in the income statement.<br />
