added to the cost of those assets, until such time as<br />

the assets are substantially ready for their intended use<br />

or sale.<br />

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss<br />

in the period in which they are incurred.<br />

4. Key assumptions and estimates<br />

Within the framework of preparation of its consolidated<br />

financial statements, the Group must, on certain<br />

occasions, formulate assumptions and/or carry out<br />

estimates affecting the balance sheet and/or the<br />

income statement.<br />

Management bases its estimates on its previous<br />

experience and formulates certain assumptions that<br />

seem reasonable taking into account the circumstances.<br />

The actual results can differ from these estimates.<br />

Estimates are used in the assessment of impairment<br />

losses/write-offs on current and non-current assets, in<br />

the estimate of the result and percentage of completion<br />

of construction contracts in progress, in the assessment<br />

of the residual lifetime of tangible and intangible fixed<br />

assets except for the goodwill, in the provisions for<br />

pensions, restructuring and potential litigations, in the<br />

estimate of stock option plans as well as in the assessment<br />

of the recoverability of the deferred tax assets.<br />

Accounting estimates and their key assumptions are<br />

reexamined regularly and the effects of their revisions<br />

are reflected in the financial statements in the corresponding<br />

period.<br />

When such assumptions and estimates have been<br />

made, they are explained in the notes relating to the<br />

elements to which they refer.
