Other non-current assets refer to long-term assets that do not fit into any other category such as property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, or investments in associates. These assets represent a company's long-term investments and commitments, which are expected to generate future economic benefits beyond one year. Examples of other non-current assets include long-term prepaid expenses, deferred tax assets, long-term receivables, investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries, and long-term deposits. Long-term prepaid expenses are expenses that have been paid in advance and are expected to provide future economic benefits beyond one year. Deferred tax assets arise from temporary differences between accounting and tax rules, resulting in lower taxes paid in the current year and higher taxes paid in future years. Long-term receivables are amounts owed by customers that will be collected beyond one year, while investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries are long-term investments in other companies in which the investor has significant influence but not control. Long-term deposits are cash deposits that are not intended to be used for current operations, but rather held for future use. Other non-current assets are reported on the balance sheet under the non-current assets section. They are subject to periodic impairment tests to ensure that their carrying value does not exceed their recoverable amount. If an asset is impaired, its carrying value is reduced accordingly. In summary, other non-current assets represent a company's long-term investments and commitments that are expected to generate future economic benefits beyond one year. They play an important role in financial reporting as they provide information about a company's long-term financial health and potential for future growth.
