contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
(2) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Cash or cash equivalents, and assets that are held primarily for the purpose of being traded or are
expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets;
all other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of being traded or are expected to be settled
within 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities; all other liabilities
are classified as non-current.
