TangSble flxed assets
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs lo sell and value in use. In assessing value in use. the
8Stimat8d futur8 cash flows ar8 discounted to th￿r presenl valu8 using a pre-tax discimjnl rat8 that refl8CtS CLYr8nl
market assesswnents of the time value of money and risk5 specific to the asset for which the eslimales of
future cash flows have not been adjusled. If the recoverable amount of an asset lor cash-generaling unill is
estimated to be less than Its carrying amount, the carrying arnount of the asset (or &gsh-g2ner2bng unit) is
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recocnised irnmedialely in profit or loss. urbless the
relevant asset is carried at 8 revalued amount. in which Gase the impayment loss is treated as a revaluation
decrease_
Recognised impairrnent losses are reversed rf. and onty if. the reasons for the irryaiTment loss have ceased to
apply. Where an impaimient loss subsequently reverses. the carrying amount of the asset lor cash-generating
unit} increased lo the revised estimate of tis recoverable amount. but so that the increased carrying amount
does not exceed the carrwng a￿K)Unt that would have b￿￿ determined had no impairment loss beern recognised
for the asset lor cash-generaling unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately
in profrt or loss, unless the relevant assel is ￿rried al a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
