2. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with Egyptian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable, under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the future periods if it affects future periods.

The following are items on the financial statements that are effected by judgments, assumptions, and estimates:

- Amortization of present value of notes receivable

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Egyptian Pounds.

b) Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded on purchase at cost and are presented in the balance sheet net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical costs include costs associated with the purchase of the asset. For assets constructed internally, the cost of the asset includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor and other direct costs incurred in bringing each asset to its location and the purpose for which it was acquired, as well as the costs of removal and rearrangement of the site, where the assets are located.

Components are accounted for on an item of fixed assets that have different useful lives as separate items within those fixed assets.

 The carrying amount of fixed assets includes the cost of replacing a part or component of such assets when it is expected to obtain future economic benefits as a result of spending that cost. Other costs allocated to the income statement as an expense when incurred.
