    Revenue recognition
     
    (1)
    Goods sold
     
    Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
     
    The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement.

    Government grants
     
    Grants that compensate the Company for research and development expenses incurred are recognized as other income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognized. Other grants from government that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss of the period in which it becomes receivable.
