If the market value and/or the sum of its estimated future cash flows exceed the book value of the grouping unit, the second step is not necessary.
The second step calculates the impairment loss by comparing the book value of the grouping unit with its fair value. If the book value of the grouping unit exceeds its fair value, the book value is written down to fair value in the period identified. Fair value is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate.
