An increase in Ihe carryiryJ amount of an assel as a result of a revalualion, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless il reverses 8 charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure wlhin the statement of fIna￿la1 aclivits"es.

For the purwses of impaimienl testing. when it is not wssible lo eslimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash- genef31ing unil to which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generales cash inflows that largely independent of the cash infiows from other assets or groups of assets.
