Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result one or more events that occurred after the initial recognib'on of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the differen beeen the carying amount and the present value of the eslimaled eash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net ineomellexpendilurel for the year. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impaimienl was recognised, the impairment is reversed.
