    3.26. Government subsidies

     

    Government subsidies are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the related conditions and that the subsidies will be received.  Government subsidies are recognized systematically in the results during the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs that the subsidy intends to compensate. Government subsidies receivable as compensation for expenses already incurred, with the purpose of offering immediate financial support to the Company, without corresponding future costs, are recognized in results of the period in which they are received and allocated to the income reserve and are not intended for the distribution of dividends.
