gift, receipt is probablè and ils amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is ￿cOgniSed when receipt is probable and entillement is established,
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to ihe donor
or the estimated rgsale value. Donated facililies and servicas are recognised in the
accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for
the contribution of general volunteers.
income from contracts for the supply of seryices is recognised with the delivery of the
contracted serwce. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case

Financial instruments (continued)
Current assets and current liabilitiès are subsequently measured at the cash or other
consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Débt instrumenls are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value Can otherwise be measured
reliably. the investment is subsequenlly measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments a￿ subsequently measured at
cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value. unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond nomial business terms or financed at a rate of interest
that is not 8 market rate. in which case the asset Is measured at Ihe present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rale of interest for a similar debt instrument.
other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes
recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the éxception of hedging instruments in
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impaiment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an
impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
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 or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceed5 what the carrying amount would
have been had the impaimienl not previously been recognised.
