if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the greater of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. -
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed to the extent the
recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount.
e. Intangible Assets

a decline in the price of materials and it is estimated that the cost
of the finished products will exceed net realizable value, the
materials are written down to net realizable value. In such
circumstances, the replacement cost of the material may be the best
