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.
