Current assets and current liabilities are subsequeiitly Ineasured at tlie cash or other consideratioii
expected to be paid or relived aiid not discoiinted.
Debt iiistriiiiients are subsequeiitly Ineasured at ainortised cost.
Wliere investments in shares are piiblicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be Ineasured
reliably, the investment is siibseqLiently measured at fair valiie with changes iii fair valiie recogiiised
in income aiid expendttiire. All other such investmeiits are subseqiiently measured at cost less

Basis of preparing the financial statenients
Financial assets that are Ineasiired at cost or ainoitised cost al'e reviewed foi- objective evidence of
iiiipairinent at tlie eiid of each reportiiig date. if there is objective evideiice of impairineiit an
impairinciit loss is recogniscd under the appropriate headiiig in the stateiiieiit of fiiiancial activities in
wliicli the initial gaiii is recogiiised.
Foi. all equity instruments regardless of significance, aiid other fiTiancial assets that are individual ly
significant, these are assessed iiidividually for impairiiient. Other financial assets are eitlier assessed
individually or grouped on the basis of siinilai. credit risk cliaracteristics.
Aiiy reversals of iinpaii'ineiit are recogiiised iinined lately, to the extent tliat the reversal does iiot resiilt
in a Garrying anioiiiit of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying ainount would hav¢ beeii
had the iiiipairinent not previoiisly been recogiiised.
(h) Iinpalrment
Assets Ilot ineasiired at fail, value are I'eviewed for ai)y iiidicatioii that ihe asset Inay be iiiipaired at
¢ach balance slieet dale. If sucli indicatioii exists, tlie I'ecovei'able ainoLint of tlie asset, or the asset's
casli generating unit, is estiiiiated and conipai'ed to tli¢ cariying aiiiouiit, Where tlie carrying airoiint
exceeds its recoverable ainoiiiit, an inipaii'ineiit loss is I'ecognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
cai'ried at a revalued aiiiouiit wliere the impaii'meiit loss is a rcvaliiatioii decrease.
(R) Provisions
Provisioiis al'e recogiiised when the cliarity has ali obligatioii at the balaiice slieet date as a resii It of a
past event, it is pi'obable that ali outflow of econoiiiic beiiefits will be required in settleineiit and tlie
aiiioiiiit can be reliably estiii)ated.
U) Leases
Assets acqiiired under fiiiance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shoiter of the lease teriii
aiid the expected useful life of the asset, Miniinuin lease payinenls are apportioiied betweeii the
fiiiaiice cliai'ge and the reduction of the outstaiidiiig lease l lability using tlie effective iiiterest Inethod.
Tlie related obligatioiis, net of future finaiice charges, are incliided iii creditors,
Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis
over the period of the lease.
(k) Tax
No provisioii is reqiiired for taxation as tlie conipaiiy is defiiied as a charity for taxation piirposes.
The cliarity is a registered charity and so siich is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and
