The Group has chosen to apply the optional practical expedient for costs to obtain a contract which allows the Group to immediately expense such costs when the related revenue is expected to be recognized within one year. When revenues will be recognized over several reporting periods the Group recognizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset, provided that the costs are expected to be recovered throughout the contract. The costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer and subsequently re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Segments Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). At Fiven this is defined as the Chairman, for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. The financial information relating to segments is presented in Note 5. Government grants Government grants are recognized when it is reasonably certain that the company will meet the conditions stipulated for the grants and that the grants will be received. Operating grants are recognized systematically during the grant period. Grants are recognized as other income. Investment grants are capitalized and recognized systematically over the asset’s useful life. Investment grants are recognized as a deduction of the asset’s carrying amount. Income tax The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income, based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities, with the exception of: • temporary differences linked to goodwill that are not tax deductible • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures when the Group controls when the temporary differences are to be reversed and this is not expected to take place in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that the company will have a sufficient profit for tax purposes in subsequent periods to utilize the tax asset. The companies recognize previously unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent it has become probable that the company can utilize the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the company will reduce a deferred tax asset to the extent that the company no longer regards it as probable that it can utilize the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are measured on the basis of the expected future tax rates applicable to the companies in the Group where temporary differences have arisen. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and classified as non-current asset investments (long-term liabilities) in the balance sheet. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognized directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity transactions. Research and development Expenses relating to research activities are recognized in the statement of income as they incur. Expenses relating to development activities are capitalized to the extent that the product or process is technically and commercially viable and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development work. Capitalized development is specified in note 8. Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. When assets are sold or disposed, the carrying amount is derecognized and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income. The cost of property, plant and equipment is the purchase price, including taxes/duties and costs directly linked to preparing the asset ready for its intended use. Costs incurred after the asset is in use, such as regular maintenance costs, are recognized in the statement of income, while other costs that are expected to provide future financial benefits are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life. The depreciation period and method are assessed each year. A residual value is estimated at each year-end, and changes to the estimated residual value are recognized as a change in an estimate. Assets under construction are classified as non-current assets and recognized at cost until the production or development process is completed. Assets under construction are not depreciated until the asset is taken into use. Fiven Annual Report 2021 36 Financial statements
