Cash-generating unit | The smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Component of an entity | Operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. Costs to sell | The incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (or disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense. Current asset | An asset that satisfies any of the following criteria: (a) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity's normal operating cycle; (b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; (c) it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or (d) it is cash or a cash equivalent asset unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. Discontinued operation | A component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and: (a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; (b) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or (c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Disposal group | A group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. The group includes goodwill acquired in a business combination if the group is a cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 80-87 of IAS 36 Impairment of assets (as revised in 2004) or if it is an operation within such a cash-generating unit. Fair value | The amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Firm purchase commitment | An agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and usually legally enforceable, that (a) specifies all significant terms, including the price and timing of the transactions, and (b) includes a disincentive for non-performance that is sufficiently large to make performance highly probable. Highly probable | Significantly more likely than probable. Non-current asset | An asset that does not meet the definition of a current asset. Probable | More likely than not. Recoverable amount | The higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use | The present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
