Donated facilities and seTvices are Tecognised in the accounts when Teceived if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless theTe is a contractual requirement for it to be spent orl a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Atlas Memorial Limited Company Limited by Guarantee Not£s to the Financial Statements (to￿l￿￿ed) Year ended 31 January 2024 Accounting policies (contiBued) Investments in associates Investments in associates accounted foi in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date. the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken thtough incotne or expenditUTe. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without ulldue cost 01 effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the invest￿ent are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions ate fiom accumulated piofits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition. Investments in joint ventures Investtnents in jointly controlled enlities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impaitment losses. Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value m(K]el are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through incorne or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without reg￿d to whetber the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition. Impairment of fixed assets A review for indicators of impairnient is carried out at each reporting date. with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accoidingly. Ptioi impairments are also reviewed for possible ieversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairn)ent testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an illdividual asset, an estin]ate is n]ade of the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the srnallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the c&£h inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impainnent testing of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a business cotnbination is. from the acquisition date. allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. io-

Atlas Memorial Limited Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements {conlinrxd) Year ended 31 January 2024 Accounting policies (eontinued) Financial instnllnents (cortrfttued) Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable OT payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequendy measured at amortised cost. Where investrnents in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can othetwise 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 impaiment. Other financial instrun]ents, including derivatives. are initially recognised at fair valu& unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond nornial business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present va]ue of the future payments discounted at a market Tate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financlal instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception 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 is objective evidence of impaimient, an impairnient loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financiaI activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance. and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually OT grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impaimient are reeognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a caTrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairn]enl not previously been recognised.
