1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
1.1. VALUATION PRINCIPLES
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated straight-line depreciation. Current assets are stated at historical cost or at lower fair value. Foreign currency items are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousand euros (EUR).
Forcit Defence International Ab’s and parent company’s operations include projects whose manufacturing time is long. Forcit Defence International Oy Ab applies the principles of partial revenue recognition in its project operations where the project’s manufacturing time spans several accounting periods and where the project’s amounts are significant with regards to turnover. The income is recognised in the profit and loss account according to the progress of the projects (percentage of completion). The long-term project’s recognition is determined on the basis of manufactured goods in relation to the total quantity of ordered goods for the project. The costs for the projects are based on the project accounting where each project has its own project cost calculation. The costs for the projects include variable expenses for procurement and manufacturing. The partial revenue recognition reflects the significant growth in the project business during the financial year and improves the comparability between financial years.
1.2. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION
Depreciation is calculated from the historical cost, and is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life in years. The basis of calculation are:
| Buildings and constructions | 20-50 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5-10 |
| Other tangible assets | 10-20 |
| Immaterial rights | 5-10 |
| Other long-term expense items | 10 |
| Consolidated goodwill | 5-10 |
