except lo which il offsets any previous revaluation gain, In which case the loss is shown within

Ac¢ountlng poli¢le8 (continued)
Impaimient of flxod assets f¢ontlftued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not sy)ssible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unrt is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the
cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairmerit testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilib.es of the charty
are assigned to those units.
Flnancial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liabllity is recognised only when the ¢harity becomes a party to the
conlraclual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial Instruments are inib'alty recognised at the amount receivable or payable including
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequentty measured at th8 cash or other
consideration expect&Y lo be paid or re￿iVed and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised ¢osl.
Where investmen15 in shares a￿ publicly traded or their fair value ¢an otherMse be measured
reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impaimient.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are inrtially recognised at fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed 81 a rate of interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
payments dlscounled at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any ¢hanges
recognised in the statement of financial activib'es, with the exceptson of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there 15 objective evidence of impairment, an
impairment Ioss 15 recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of sKJnificance, and other financial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impaimient are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that eX￿edS vthat the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

except lo which il offsets any previous revaluation gain, In which case the loss is shown within

Ac¢ountlng poli¢le8 (continued)
Impaimient of flxod assets f¢ontlftued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not sy)ssible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unrt is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the
cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairmerit testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilib.es of the charty
are assigned to those units.
Flnancial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liabllity is recognised only when the ¢harity becomes a party to the
conlraclual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial Instruments are inib'alty recognised at the amount receivable or payable including
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequentty measured at th8 cash or other
consideration expect&Y lo be paid or re￿iVed and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised ¢osl.
Where investmen15 in shares a￿ publicly traded or their fair value ¢an otherMse be measured
reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impaimient.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are inrtially recognised at fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed 81 a rate of interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
payments dlscounled at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any ¢hanges
recognised in the statement of financial activib'es, with the exceptson of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there 15 objective evidence of impairment, an
impairment Ioss 15 recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of sKJnificance, and other financial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impaimient are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that eX￿edS vthat the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
