GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
Introduction |
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. Nexergy Holdings PLC is currently in start-up development phase, with no operational production during 2022-23. As the company had no employees, disclosures typically required for large entities are not recorded herein. |
Business Model and Strategy |
Nexergy Holdings PLC is an investment company focused on the development of sustainable energy solutions. The company is currently assembling its core team and working with third party agencies and production units to operationalise core technologies, including: |
-Cassandra Oil's waste-to-oil conversion (CASO technology) - A system that transforms hydrocarbon-rich waste, such as plastics and tyres, into valuable oil and gas. |
- Lorentz's green hydrogen production technology - A non-emission system that converts solar energy and water into hydrogen, targeting heavy industry and transportation decarbonisation. |
Strategic Objectives |
Nexergy is preparing the foundations for operational roll-out focusing on: |
- Securing key personnel to effectively represent corporate and operational requirements |
- Identifying and securing suitable sites for its production facilities. |
- Sourcing funding and honing its investor engagement strategies to enable full-scale deployment. |
- Engaging with technical stakeholders and regulators to ensure technical and legal compliance and identifying and securing necessary approvals. |
- Developing partnerships and supply chain agreements to ensure smooth transition to full production. |
By the end of 2025, the company aims to have its first CASO reactors in production with a potential first site operational, with secondary and tertiary sites identified, engaged and in functional development. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
As Nexergy is in the investment and development stage, the company has not generated operational revenue in 2023. |
Key financial activities for the year included: |
- Raising investment capital to support site identification and preparation. |
- Allocating funds towards research, feasibility studies, and regulatory approvals. |
- Planning financial structures for future operations, including debt and equity investment opportunities. |
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) |
As Nexergy has not yet commenced operations, the company's performance indicators are currently focused on development milestones rather than financial metrics. |
KPI | 2023 Performance | Targets |
Sites Identified for Facilities | 2 locations identified | Secure first UK site |
Regulatory Approvals | Preliminary discussions initiated | Obtain necessary permits |
Technology Development | Pilot studies conducted | Preparations for roll-out |
These KPIs reflect Nexergy's progress towards operational readiness. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
As Nexergy is in its pre-operational stage, the company at the end of 2023 recognises the following key risks: |
1. Development and Execution Risks |
-Site acquisition and development delays may impact speed of roll-out. |
-Practical challenges potentially arising from the scaling of the CASO technology from pilot projects to full production facilities. |
2. Financial and Investment Risks |
-The company is currently dependent on external funding to finance infrastructure development. |
-Market conditions and investor sentiment may impact fundraising efforts. |
- The company's financial risk management objectives are to minimise the key financial risks and regular monitoring of cash flow to ensure that the company maintains adequate working capital. |
3. Regulatory and Compliance Risks |
-Nexergy must navigate complex energy sector regulations and obtain the necessary permits before operations can commence. |
-Environmental policies and incentives may evolve, influencing current project projections /feasibility. |
4. Credit risk |
Credit risk will not arise for the company in the normal course of its client facing activities due to the lack of credit facilities being extended by the firm to clients, other than in relation to fees receivable, which are typically settled within 30 days of their occurrence. |
5. Liquidity, interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk |
The company has a small level of foreign exchange risk arising from bank balances denominated in foreign currency. The company monitors this risk on a regular basis to ensure that it is not exposed to any significant currency risk. |
Creditor balances only occur in relation to the day to day operation of the overhead expenditure of the company. |
The company carefully manages its liquidity so that it always has sufficient funds and as a result of this, liquidity and interest rate risks are minimal.The company continually monitor actual and forecast cash flows and cash positions and pays particular attention to ongoing expenditure, both for operating requirements and capital expenditure. |
To mitigate these risks, Nexergy is proactively engaging with investors, regulatory bodies as well as technical and strategic partners. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
BUSINESS COMBINATION - | CONSOLIDATION IN 2023 |
On 20 November 2023, the company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of Cassandra Holdings Ltd (a UK entity) from Cassandra AB ("the Seller") for total consideration of £100,000,000. The purchase price consisted of: |
-£98,000,000 in shares (175,000,000 newly issued shares in the company); and |
-£2,000,000 in cash, payable in instalments prior to completion. |
Following a detailed review of the agreement, it was determined that the consideration was effectively received as of 31 December 2023, substantive control was established by that date, and no repayment obligation exists for any portion of the consideration. Consequently, the acquisition was substantively completed during 2023, and the acquired entity should be consolidated in the group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. |
As of 31 December 2023, the company had outstanding obligations of £2,000,000 under the acquisition agreement, with certain amounts remaining unpaid at year-end. The final cash payment was initially expected on the agreement closing date of 19 July 2024, however, at the time of preparing these financial statements, a revised payment plan was still under negotiation. |
During the year Zavion Vision BV (who holds 8.33% of Nexergy Holdings Plc) made payments on behalf of the company towards the acquisition of Cassandra Holdings Ltd, totalling £38,477 (2022 £Nil). These payments were paid to Cassandra AB's suppliers in relation to the acquisition of Cassandra Holdings Ltd. This payment is included within fixed asset investments and the capital contribution balance. |
The acquired entity has been consolidated in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, and the outstanding cash obligations remain recorded as liabilities within the financial statements. |

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |

NEXERGY HOLDINGS PLC (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13795408) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Accura Accountants Ltd (Statutory Auditor), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
NEXERGY HOLDINGS PLC |
Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Nexergy Holdings PLC (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of the group's loss for the year then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
NEXERGY HOLDINGS PLC |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page six, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
NEXERGY HOLDINGS PLC |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
Fraud - Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud |
Fraud risk assessment |
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud ("fraud risks") we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure by management to commit, or provide an opportunity to commit, fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included; |
- enquiries of management and internal accounting staff, concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to: |
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and |
- internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud; |
- enquiries of management and internal accounting staff as to whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- discussions among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. The engagement team includes the audit partner and manager who have commercial knowledge and experience of such an entity, and this experience was relevant to the discussion about where fraud risks may arise. |
Risk communications |
We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit. |
Fraud risks |
As required by auditing standards we addressed the risk of management override of controls and the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition. In particular we considered the risk that revenue is recorded in the wrong period and the risk that the management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries, and the risk of bias in accounting estimates and judgments. |
Procedures to address fraud risks |
Our audit procedures included evaluating the design and implementation, and operating effectiveness of internal controls relevant to mitigate these risks. We also performed substantive audit procedures including; |
- Comparing journal entries to supporting documentation and review for any unusual journal descriptions; |
- Assessing significant accounting estimates and judgements for bias; |
- Obtaining third party confirmations for all bank balances and material debtors and creditors balances; and |
- Assessing when revenue was recognised, particularly focusing on revenue recognised in the days before and after the year end date, and whether it was recognised in the correct year. |
- Testing journal entries to identify unusual transactions. |
Laws and regulations |
- Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
Risk assessment |
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements. For this risk assessment, matters considered included the following; |
- discussion with the management (as required by auditing standards); |
- inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence; and |
- discussions with the management about the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. |
Risk communication |
Our communication of laws and regulations risks was made throughout our team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
Direct laws context and link to audit |
The potential effect of laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. The company is subject to |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
NEXERGY HOLDINGS PLC |
United Kingdom laws and regulations, such as the Companies Act 2006. Other relevant rules and regulations include the following: |
- Financial reporting legislation (including related UK companies' legislation). |
- Taxation legislation (direct and indirect) in the countries of operation. |
We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. |
Most significant indirect law/ regulation areas |
The company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation or harm to the company's ability to operate. |
We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: |
- Health, safety, welfare and fire safety. |
- Anti-bribery fraud and corruption. |
- Anti-money laundering regulations. |
- European Union and United Kingdom employment law. |
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of law or regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, our audit will not detect that breach. |
We considered the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities: There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Nexergy Holdings PLC is a private company , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Parent Company and is subsidiaries (the Group) as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between Group Companies are therefore eliminated in full. |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of Financial Position, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of the acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Income Statement from the date on which control is obtained. They are excluded from the consolidated financial statements from the date control ceases. |
Functional and presentation currency |
The company's functional and presentational current is £ sterling. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
Going concern |
The directors have a reasonable expectation the the company has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual 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 revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Interests in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. These investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date, with any impairment losses or reversals recognised immediately in profit or loss. |
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control refers to the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity in order to obtain benefits from its activities. |
An associate is an entity that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate. |
A jointly controlled entity is an entity in which the company has a long-term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including accruals, that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are included within borrowings under current liabilities. |
Impairment losses |
At each reporting period-end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. |
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. |
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but the increased carrying amount must not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. |
