Plant and machinery and furniture and fittings were revalued at 1 April 1996 based on the estimated current replacement cost of the assets, adjusted for service potential. Following the introduction of FRS 15: Tangible Fixed Assets, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service has retained these revalued assets at their valuation as adjusted for depreciation. ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service does not plan to revalue these assets on an ongoing basis.

All fixed assets are held directly by ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service as at 31 March 2009 except for £0.2m (2008: £0.2m) held by ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ do Brasil Limitada, its subsidiary.
