Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets, whith comprise the housing properties and artefacts, are measured at fair value as at 26 April 2025. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases..

Impalrment of flxed a55ets At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounis of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there Is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exlsts, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment 1055 Ilf any). Recoverable amount is the higher of fairvalue less costs to sell and value in use. In assessin8value in use. the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than it's carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/lexpenditurel for the year, unle55 the relevant asset 15 carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment105S 15 treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but 50 that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversèl of the impairment loss is treated 3$ 3 revaluation increase.
