Long-term investments are classified as available for sale. All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given. Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are re-measured at fair value (quoted market price).

Any gain or loss from a change in the fair value of investments available for sale is recognised directly in equity as unrealised, unless sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time cumulative gain or loss previously taken to equity is released to the profit and loss account of the year.
