operating income are reported immediately upon rendering<br />

hence upon transfer of the risk to the customer. Net sales<br />
are shown after deduction of rebates and discounts.<br />
Operating expenses are recognised as expenses upon<br />
availment or causation.<br />
As a rule, dividends are recognised when the legal claim to<br />
payment arises.<br />
