It is mainly this duration criteria that distinguishes them from current assets such as inventory and receivables covered in Chapter 3. Non-current assets can be analyzed according to various criteria. The nature of assets is usually the first criterion used in both the balance sheet presentation and in accounting standards. Thus we can distinguish: � Intangible assets, which are assets without physical substance and non-monetary (soft­ ware, development expenditures, trademarks, licenses, etc.). � Tangible assets, which are physical assets (land, buildings, machinery, furniture, com­ puter equipment, etc.). � Non-current financial assets, which are monetary values (shares in other companies, long-term loans, etc.). The period during which the company can expect to obtain economic benefits from the use of the asset is the second criterion of classification of non-current assets. We distinguish: � Assets with limited useful life (software, machines, buildings, etc.). � Assets with unlimited useful life (land). � Assets with undefined useful life (trademarks). This chapter mainly follows the classification by nature and presents, first, the intangible and tangible assets and, second, the financial assets (see Figure ). The criterion of useful life is addressed in each of the two sections. TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Tangible assets are physical assets: land, buildings, machinery, furniture. . .
