period. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
from these estimates.

assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted

the Balance Sheet date there is any evaluation that a previously
assessed impairment loss no longer exists, then such loss is reversed
and the asset is restated to that effect.
