    Revenue Recognition

    Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

    Sale of goods

    Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

     

        The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

     

        The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

     

        The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

     

        It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

     

        The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

    In principle, payment term granted to customers is due 30 days from the invoice date or 30 days from the end of the month of when the invoice is issued. Due to the short term nature of the receivables from sale of goods with the immaterial discounted effect, the Company measures them at the original invoice amounts without discounting.

    Royalties, dividend and interest income

    Revenue from royalties is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

    Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

    Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
