Notes to the financial statements

The carrying amount of the Axway CGU is the amount of its consolidated shareholders’ equity at 31Ǿ December i.e. €344.5Ǿmillion.

The risks and uncertainties inherent in software development do not allow the technical feasibility of a product to be demonstrated before a demo version that can be shown to a prospective customer is available. The differences between a demo version and the final version are generally minor, which means that the costs incurred in this phase of development, which may be capitalized, are not significant. ● the ability to use or sell the intangible asset,
