§ Accounting principles

Intangible assets

The Parent Company recognizes all expenditure for research and development conducted on a proprietary basis as an expense in profit or loss.

Amortization of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized from the date they are available to use. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

  • Patents 10–20 years

  • Goodwill 10 years

Borrowing costs

In the Parent Company, borrowing costs are expensed in the periods to which they relate. Borrowing costs for assets are not capitalized.
