The estimates and associated assumption5 are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Aciual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the rewsion arKI future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
