Freehold properties are not depreciated as it is the Charity policy to maintain the property with regular
repairs and refurbishment work. Accordingly, the trustees consider that because the residual value is not
Si8nificantly different from carrying arnount, any depreciation charge would be immaterial.
The trustees have revlewed the useful economic life of the murtis held at the Temple and consider it to be
many years and therefore have not charged any depreciation on these assets.

and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date. the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss lif
any).

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturitie5 of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
