This item also includes the loans granted to these entities.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 these investments correspond to investments in non-public companies in which the Group has no significant influence. Their acquisition cost corresponds to a reliable approximation to their fair value, adjusted by the impairment costs.

The assessment of whether or not there is impairment in investments in associates takes into account, among other things, the financial indicators of the Companies, their operating results and their profitability for the shareholder, especially taking into account the capacity to distribute dividends.

5. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Investment properties held by F. Ramada Group relate to lands rented to third parties (Altri Group) under operational lease, through contracts signed in 2007 and 2008 with an average duration of 20 years, and with the possibility of an additional period of 6 years if certain events occur. Investment properties are measured at acquisition cost. The movement occurred in this caption during the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2017 and the year ended 31 December 2016 is as follows:

30.09.2017 31.12.2016
Opening balance (gross) 85,953,689 85,963,976
Aquisitions
Disposals

(78,327)
Closing balance (gross) 85,953,689 85,953,689
Impairment losses (note 11) (1,100,000) (1,100,000)
Closing balance (net) 84,853,689 84,853,689

The leased land generated, during the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2017, income amounting, to approximately, 4,637,250 Euro (approximately 6,311,140 Euro in 31 December 2016).

The minimum future receipts for leases of forest land amount, to approximately, 6.4 million Euro in each of the following 5 years. After this period and until the end of the contracts, the minimum future receipts total, approximately 40 million Euro. The rents provided for each lease are updated at the end of each 2-year period, starting from the beginning of the civil year immediately following the signature of the contract, based on the consumer price index.

Given the land characteristics (land leased to third parties for forestry activity), frequent market transactions comparable for this type of assets do not occur. Accordingly, the Board of Directors considers that it is not possible to

reliably estimate the fair value of the land, and, as such, it is recorded at acquisition cost. However, it is the Board of Directors belief that, given the amount of rents collected annually, the market value of these assets will not be significantly different from its book value.

Part of the land (amounting to, approximately, 74 million Euro) is given as collateral for certain borrowings.

6. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

In accordance with current legislation, the tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities over a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have occurred, tax benefits have been granted, or inspections, complaints or disputes are on-going. In these cases, depending on the circumstances, the above referred period deadlines can be extended or suspended. Therefore, the tax returns of F. Ramada and its subsidiaries since 2013 may still be subject to review.

The Board of Directors of F. Ramada believes that any potential corrections arising from reviews/inspections of these tax returns by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017.

The movement occurred in deferred tax assets and liabilities in the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:
