The net revaluation of shareholdings in subsidiaries is taken to the reserve for net revaluation according to the equity method under capital and reserves. Other shareholdings and receivables are valued at purchase price less writedown as a result of a significant diminution in value. The purchase price of shares denominated in foreign currencies is translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate adjustments are included in the profit and loss account as financial items. Stocks Raw materials, packaging and goods for resale are valued at the latest known purchase price at the balance sheet date, which approximates purchase price computed according to the FIFO principle. Work in progress and goods produced by the company are valued at cost, i.e. the cost of materials, direct wages and a share of indirect production costs, including the cost of operating and depreciating manufacturing facilities. Writedown to net realisable value is made if it is lower than the purchase price or production cost, respectively. Receivables Receivables are stated at nominal value less writedowns to counter the risk of loss calculated on the basis of an individual evaluation. Own shares The holding of own shares is valued at the stock market price ruling at the balance sheet date and is included under current assets if they have been acquired for the purpose of hedging and complying with share option plans and other plans based on share prices. Other securities Other securities shown as current assets are valued at the stock market price ruling at the balance sheet date. Both realised and unrealised capital gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account under financial items. Debt Mortgage debt and other debt where there is a difference between the nominal value and the market value are valued at the stock market price ruling at the balance sheet date or any other market value. Other liabilities are stated at nominal value. Pension commitments The Group has entered into pension agreements and similar agreements with most of the Groups employees. Periodical payments to defined contribution pension plans are included in the profit and loss account at the due date and any contributions payable are included in the balance sheet under other debt. The present value of the Groups commitments relating to future pension payments according to defined benefit pension plans is calculated on an actuarial basis at intervals of not more than three years on the basis of the pensionable period of employment up to the time of the actuarial valuation. Provision is made in the balance sheet for the present value of plans which are not financed. The present value of the commitment according to defined benefit plans which are financed by independent pension funds is calculated less the market value of the assets associated with the plan, and any net commitment is included as a provision in the balance sheet. If the calculation shows a net asset, that asset will normally be included in the balance sheet. The years changes in the provisions relating to defined benefit pension plans are included in the profit and loss account. Commitments relating to the executive share option plan and other employee plans The difference between the stock market price of the underlying shares ruling at the balance sheet date and the calculated exercise price of share options is shown as a provision in the balance sheet. Commitments relating to employees in foreign companies under the share price based plan are included as a provision in the balance sheet. Guarantee commitments Provision is made to cover return obligations imposed on the industry when these are found to have a material effect on the accounts. 53 Accounts Annual Report 1999 1999 was both an eventful and a successful year for H.
