    2.15 — Revenue Recognition

     

    Net sales are presented net of taxes and discounts. Taxes on sales are recognized when sales are invoiced and discounts on sales are estimated and recognized upon sale. Revenues from sales of products are recognized when the sales amount can be reliably measured, the Company no longer has control over the goods sold or any other responsibility attributable to its ownership, the costs incurred or that will be incurred related to the transaction can be reliably measured, it is more likely than not that the economic benefits will be received by the Company, and the risks and benefits of the products have been fully transferred to the buyer. The related costs of freight are included in cost of sales.
