(iii) 24 July 2019 – A fire occurred at a Desla Ltd factory in May 2019, and some machinery was damaged as a result. No impairment loss related to the fire had been recognised in the financial statements as at 30 June 2019.  It has now been assessed that an impairment loss of $300 000 should be recognised for the damaged machinery. Machinery is measured using the cost model.
