Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable 8mouni of an illdividual asseL th¢ Endowment estimates the tteoverable amount of the ca8h-generatin8 unit lo which tbe asset belongs. Re¢overabl¢ arnount is the higher of fairvalue less costs to sell and value in usc. In assessing value ill use. the estimated ￿tUr¢ cash flows are discounted to tlieir present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects OU￿ent market assessments of thetime value ofmoaey and the risks spccific to Iheasset forwhich the estimates of cash flows have not been adjusted. If the LEcoverable amount of an asset (orcash-g¢ne￿tIllg unit) is Cstin￿led to be less than its ¢anying amounL the carrying amount of tbe asset (or c8sh-gcnerating unit) is reduced to its reooverabl¢ amount. An impairment 1085 is recognised immediately ill profit or loss. Rccognised impainnent losses Ther5ed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairmettt loss have ceased to apply. Wliere all irllpainneni loss subsequently reverses. the earryillg amount of the asset (or casb-generaling unit) is incTeased to the Tevised ¢8timate of its r¢cov¢rabl¢ amoual but so that the increased caTrying amount does not ¢xceed the carrykng amount that would hav¢been detern]ined had no impainnent loss been recognis¢d for the asset (or cash-generating unit) PriOT years. A reversal of impairnicni loss is recoguis¢d imm¢diatdy in profit or loss. 13
