Ifat the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists,the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost.

profits. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets, if any.

are reviewed at each reporting date and arc adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
