Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under retirement benefit plans, income taxes, post-sales customer support and the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets. Management periodically assessed using external and internal sources whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. Revenue Recognition Revenues from contracts priced on a time and material basis are recognized when services are rendered and related costs are incurred. Revenues from turnkey contracts, which are generally time bound fixed price contracts, are recognised over the life of the contract using the proportionate completion method, with contract costs determining the degree of completion. Revenues from sale of software licences are recognised upon delivery. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognised pro-rata over the period of the contract.
