NON-CURRENT ASSETS

NOTE 6

6.1

Intangible assets

In accordance with IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”, an intangible asset is recognised only if the cost of the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group. The Group’s intangible assets mainly correspond to software, which are non-current assets with a finite useful life. These assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, ranging between three and five years depending on the type of software concerned:

● management software: 5 years; ● production software: 3 to 5 years;

● office automation software: 1 to 3 years. For internally-generated intangible assets, development costs are capitalised when they meet the recognition criteria in IAS 38, i.e. when the Group can demonstrate:

● the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale;

● its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

● its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

● how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

● the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the project; ● its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The cost of an internally-generated intangible asset comprises all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce, and prepare the asset to be capable of being used in the manner intended by management. Selling, administrative and other general overhead expenditure are not components of the cost of an internally-generated intangible asset. Following initial recognition, these assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are measured at amortised cost (historical cost on initial recognition plus any amortisable costs recognised subsequently and less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses).
