Costsrelated <strong>to</strong> these reductions are estimated <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal 400.30. Accounting estimates and judgmentsThe preparation of financial reports requires management <strong>to</strong> make estimatesand assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidatedfinancial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results coulddiffer from those estimates. Estimates and judgments which, in the opinionof management, are significant <strong>to</strong> the underlying amounts included in thefinancial statements and for which it would be reasonably possible thatfuture events or information could change those estimates or judgmentsinclude:Key sources of estimation uncertaintyImpairment of goodwill, other intangible assetsand other long-lived assetsIn accordance with IFRS, goodwill and certain trademarks are not amortizedbut are subject <strong>to</strong> annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assetsand other long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated based on management’sestimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue but arealso reviewed regularly for indications of impairment. These tests arebased on a review of the recoverable amount which is estimated basedon management’s projections of future cash flows which are made usingint ernal business plans and forecasts. Additional information on theestimates used in this review is included in note 12.Management judgment is required in the area of asset impairment,particularly in assessing– whether an event has occurred that may affect asset values,– whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the netpresent value of future cash flows, which are estimated based upon thecontinued use of the asset in the business, and– the appropriate assumptions <strong>to</strong> be applied in preparing cash flow projections.Changing the assumptions selected by management <strong>to</strong> determine thelevel, if any, of impairment could affect the financial condition and resultsof operation.Pension and post-employment benefit valuation assumptionsThe pension and post-employment obligations are dependent on theassumptions established by management and used by actuaries in calculatingsuch amounts. The assumptions include discount rates, inflation, salarygrowth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates,health care cost trend rates and other fac<strong>to</strong>rs. The actuarial assumptionsare reviewed on an annual basis and are changed when it is deemedappropriate. Actual results which differ from management’s assumptionsare accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, affectthe recognized expense and <strong>record</strong>ed obligations in future periods. Seenote 23 for additional information regarding assumptions used in thecalculation of pension and post-retirement obligations.Credit loss reservesThe Group provides for credit losses based on specific provisions forknown cases and collective provisions for losses based on his<strong>to</strong>rical losslevels. Management’s judgment also considers rapidly changing marketconditions which may be particularly sensitive in cus<strong>to</strong>mer financing operations.Additional information is included in section Credit Risk in note 27.Inven<strong>to</strong>ry obsolescenceThe Group values inven<strong>to</strong>ry at the lower of his<strong>to</strong>rical cost, based on thefirst-in, first-out basis, and net realizable value. The calculation of netrealizable value involves management’s judgment as <strong>to</strong> over-s<strong>to</strong>ck articles,out-dated articles, damaged goods, handling and other selling costs. Seenote 16.Legal proceedingsIn accordance with IFRS, the Group recognizes a liability when <strong>Atlas</strong><strong>Copco</strong> has an obligation from a past event involving the transfer ofeconomic benefits and when a reasonable estimate can be made of whatthe transfer might be. The Group reviews outstanding legal cases regularlyin order <strong>to</strong> assess the need for provisions in the financial statements. Thesereviews consider the fac<strong>to</strong>rs of the specific case by internal legal counseland through the use of outside legal counsel and advisors when necessary.To the extent that management’s assessment of the fac<strong>to</strong>rs considered arenot reflected in subsequent developments, the financial statements could beaffected.Critical accounting judgmentsThere have been no critical accounting judgments in applying the Group’saccounting principles.78 <strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong> <strong>2008</strong>
