<strong>KORADO</strong> GROUP<br />

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2010 (In thousand CZK)<br />

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method<br />

at rates b<strong>as</strong>ed on the following estimated useful lives:<br />

Years<br />

Buildings, halls and constructions 30 – 50<br />

Computers 4<br />

Machinery and equipment 8 – 20<br />

Vehicles 4 – 8<br />

Other tangible fixed <strong>as</strong>sets 2 – 4<br />

The <strong>as</strong>set’s residual values, useful lives and depreciation<br />

methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each<br />

financial year end.<br />

Le<strong>as</strong>ed <strong>as</strong>sets are depreciated over the useful life of the<br />

<strong>as</strong>set. However, if there is no re<strong>as</strong>onable certainty that the<br />

Group will obtain ownership by the end of the le<strong>as</strong>e term, the<br />

<strong>as</strong>set is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful<br />

life of the <strong>as</strong>set and the le<strong>as</strong>e term.<br />

Construction-in-progress represents plant and properties under<br />

construction and is stated at cost.<br />

This includes cost of construction, plant and equipment and<br />

other direct costs. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated<br />

until such time <strong>as</strong> the relevant <strong>as</strong>sets are completed and<br />

put into operational use.<br />

g) Intangible Assets<br />

Intangible <strong>as</strong>sets consist mainly of software and are valued at<br />

their acquisition cost and related expenses.<br />

Intangible <strong>as</strong>sets are recognized if it is probable that the<br />

future economic benefits that are attributable to the <strong>as</strong>set<br />

will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the <strong>as</strong>set can be<br />

me<strong>as</strong>ured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible <strong>as</strong>sets<br />

are me<strong>as</strong>ured at cost less accumulated amortization and<br />

any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible <strong>as</strong>sets are<br />

amortized on a straight-line b<strong>as</strong>is over the best estimate of<br />

their useful lives that generally does not exceed 5 years. The<br />

amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed<br />

annually at each financial year-end.<br />

Goodwill is initially me<strong>as</strong>ured at cost being the excess of the<br />

aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount<br />

recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable<br />

<strong>as</strong>sets acquired and liabilities <strong>as</strong>sumed with the exception<br />

of goodwill arising on the acquisition of <strong>KORADO</strong> Bulgaria<br />

AD (see Note 2c). Following initial recognition, goodwill<br />

is me<strong>as</strong>ured at cost less any accumulated impairment<br />

losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more<br />

frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that<br />

the carrying value may be impaired.<br />

Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic<br />

benefits that an enterprise can expect from the originally<br />

<strong>as</strong>sessed standard of performance of existing intangible<br />

<strong>as</strong>sets are recognized <strong>as</strong> an expense when the restoration or<br />

maintenance work is carried out.<br />

h) Investments<br />

All investments are initially recognized at cost, being the fair<br />

value of the consideration given and including acquisition<br />

charges with the investment (until 31 December 2009). Since<br />

1 January 2010, transaction costs related to business combinations<br />

are expensed. If there is a decre<strong>as</strong>e in the carrying<br />

value of investments that are not revalued at the balance<br />

sheet date, the difference is considered a diminution in value<br />

and is recorded <strong>as</strong> impairment.<br />

Investments include in particular financial investments, and<br />

granted loans and borrowings.<br />

i) Inventories<br />

Inventories, including work-in-progress, are valued at the<br />

lower of cost and net realizable value, after impairment provision<br />

for obsolete items. Net realizable value is b<strong>as</strong>ed on<br />

the normal selling price, less further costs expected to be<br />

incurred to complete and sell the stock. Cost of purch<strong>as</strong>ed<br />

inventory is determined on the b<strong>as</strong>is of actual cost with the<br />

use of the standard cost method. Cost of finished goods<br />

and work-in-progress is determined on the b<strong>as</strong>is of actual<br />

cost with the use of the standard costs method.<br />

Costs of purch<strong>as</strong>ed inventory include purch<strong>as</strong>e price and<br />

related costs of transport, customs duties, etc. For processed<br />

inventory, costs include direct material and labor<br />

costs and production overheads. Production overhead<br />

costs include mainly depreciation, repair and maintenance<br />

of the production lines and energy used.<br />

j) Accounts Receivable<br />

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original<br />

invoice amount less an impairment provision for uncollectible<br />

amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when<br />

collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts<br />

are written off when identified. A write-off of the sold receivable<br />

that w<strong>as</strong> fully provided for in previous years is shown<br />

in net amounts in the statement of comprehensive income,<br />

taking into account the effect of the reversal of the provision.<br />

Receivables sold with recourse (factoring) are recorded at<br />

their nominal value <strong>as</strong> trade receivables until paid by customer.<br />

The c<strong>as</strong>h advances received from the factoring company<br />

are included in Payables and other current liabilities.<br />

k) C<strong>as</strong>h and C<strong>as</strong>h Equivalents<br />

C<strong>as</strong>h includes c<strong>as</strong>h on hand and c<strong>as</strong>h with banks. C<strong>as</strong>h<br />

equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are<br />

readily convertible to known amounts of c<strong>as</strong>h with original<br />

maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an<br />

insignificant risk of change in value.<br />
