An increase in the Garrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is r8cognised in other
re¢ognised gain$ and losses. unless it reverses a charge for impairment Ihat has previously been
re¢ogni$ed as expenditure within the sL*ement of financial actNil￿. A decrease in the caryng
aimount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recogii ised in other recognised gains and losses,
ex¢epl to whi¢h it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the l(Iss is shown wlthin
other reck)gnised gain$ and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Impalrnient of flxed assots
A review for indicators of impairynenl is carried out al each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indiGalors exist. Where the carylng value exceeds the
recoveral￿e amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impaimients are also reviewed for
possible reversal al eaGh reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an indNidual asse( an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit lo which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unil is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash infiows that largely independent of
the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Financlal instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is iecognised only when the charlty becomes a party lo the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Where Investments in shares are publidy Iraéed or their fair value cap. otherwise be measured
relrdbly, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes In fair value
recognised in income and expendilure. All other such investments are subsequently measured al
cost less impaim)ent.
Other firianclal instruments. induding derwatives, are initially recL)gnised al falr value, uniess
payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal tsjsingss terms or finsnced at a rate of interest
that is nol a market rate, in which case the assel is measured at the pr8senl value of the future
payments discounted at s market rate of inlere9t for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequendy measured al fair value, wtth any changes
recognlsed in the $talemeni of financial a¢livili&$, with the exception of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relallonship.
Financial assets that are measured al cost or amortised o)st ar8 revlewed for objective evidence
of Impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an
impairmenl loss is recognised und8r the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
acllvities In wh￿h the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of $Jgnific8nce, and other fifTran¢ial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed Individually for Impaimienl. Other financial assets are
either assessed indNKlually or 9rouped on the basis of similar credit ￿sK characteristics.
Any reversals of irnpairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the r8versal does r￿t
result in a carrying amount of the financial ass8t that exceeds what the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not prevlously been recognlsed.
Dgfined contribution plan8
contributio￿ lo defined ¢ontribulion pL9ns are recognised as an expense in the period in wh￿h
the r6latgd service is provided. Prepald conlrlbulions are recognised as an a8$et lo the extent
that the prepayment will lead lo a reduclR)n in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected lo be settled wholly within 12 months of the end ol the
reporting date in which the empfoyees render the related service, the liability is measured on a
dlscounted present value basls. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
