Principal accounting policies (cont'd) Tangible fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition, less accumulated depreclatlon. Depreclatlon is calculated so as to write off the costs of tangible fixed assets, less their estlmated resldual values, over the expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned.

If any such indication exists the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the company estimates, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to whlch the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of Its fair value le55 Costs to sell and Its value In use. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is impaired and it Is reduced to its recoverable amount through an Impalrment In the profit and loss account. An impairment loss recognised for all assets Is reversed In a subsequent period if and only if the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply, Government grants Grants that relate to specific capital expenditure are treated as deferred income which is then credited to the profit and 1055 account over the related asset's useful life. Revenue grants are credited to the profit and loss account in the same year as the related expenditure is incurred. Income Income represents donations, grants and other Income recelved during the year. Bank interest recelvable Bank interest is recognised in the revenue account on a receipts basis. Repairs and renewals These are charged to revenue In the year In whlch the expendlture is Incurred.
