Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are generally depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives range from 3-5 years.

In March 2000 the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue 00-2, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs” (“EITF 00-2”). In accordance with the transition provisions of EITF 00-2, the Company has elected to apply this standard to website development costs incurred from January 1, 2000 forward. Capitalized website development costs including graphics and related software are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years and are included in property, plant and equipment in the accompanying balance sheet (see Note 5).

In March 2000 the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue 00-2, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs” (“EITF 00-2”). EITF 00-2 requires that all costs incurred in the website planning stage should be expensed as incurred.

The EITF also concluded that costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage (including the initial graphics) and costs relating to software used to operate a website are to be accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”) unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the website software externally.

The EITF further concluded that costs incurred to operate an existing website including training, administration, maintenance, and other costs should be expensed as incurred. However, costs incurred in the operation stage that involve providing additional functions or features to the website should be accounted for as, in effect, new software and the costs of upgrades and enhancements that add functionality being expensed or capitalized based on the guidance in SOP 98-1.

In accordance with the transition provisions of EITF 00-2, the Company has elected to apply this standard to website development costs incurred from January 1, 2000 forward and accordingly in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 the Company has capitalized EUR 495 thousand and EUR 530 thousand respectively of costs related to the development of its website including graphics and related software.

consideration under the agreement was 1.8 million euro. A 10% down-payment was received upon signature and the balance of the consideration was received upon delivery of the property in August 2004. In June 2004, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of part of the Company’s building in Barcelona, Spain. Under the agreement, the Company sold the first floor of the building, which represents approximately 23% of the sellable floor space. The consideration under the agreement was 2.8 million euro. A 10% down-payment was received upon signature and 2.3 million euro was received upon delivery of a substantial part of the property in August 2004. The balance of the consideration will be received upon delivery of the remaining part of the property, which is expected to take place during 2005. Through the aforementioned agreements, the Company sold 37% of the sellable floor space for a total of 4.6 million euro.

 

The Company has a note payable related to the acquisition of the building.

The amount has been applied as a reduction to the value of the property.

 

As of December 31, 2004 the building had not been used and management was reviewing the future use of the remaining part of the property, but had no intention of selling at that time. In January 2005 the Company received an offer for the rest of the building and in February it was accepted, see subsequent events Note 22 for further discussion.
