(c) Assets carried at cost. <strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group assesses at the end of each reporting periodwhether there is objective evidence that any of the unquoted equity securities andderivative assets linked to and required to be settled in such unquoted equity instruments,which are carried at cost, may be impaired. The amount of impairment loss is thedifference between the carrying amount of the equity security and the present value of theestimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return of a similarasset. Impairment losses on assets carried at cost cannot be reversed.When possible, <strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to takepossession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and theagreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is nolonger considered past due. Management continuously reviews restructured loans toensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loanscontinue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculatedusing the loans’ original effective interest rate. The difference between the recorded saleof the original loan and the present value of the restructured cash flows, discounted at theoriginal effective interest rate, is recognized as part of Impairment Losses account inprofit or loss.2.24 Impairment of Non-financial Assets<strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group’s real properties for development and sale, equity investments,goodwill, intangible assets (recorded as part of Other Resources), premises, furniture, fixturesand equipment and investment properties are subject to impairment testing. Intangible assetswith an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill are tested for impairment at least annually. Allother individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events orchanges in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which thereare separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, assets are tested forimpairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generatingunit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amounts which is the higher of its fair valueless costs to sell and its value in use. In determining value in use, management estimates theexpected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines the suitable interestrate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Discount factors aredetermined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment ofrespective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risk factors.All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previouslyrecognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to therecoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss.www.bdo.com.ph 43
