The key assumptions used in the determination of the recoverable amount are as follows:- (i) Budgeted gross margin Gross margin is the forecasted margin as a percentage of revenue over the five-year projection periods which were determined based on the expectations of market development and, adjusted for market and economic conditions, internal resource efficiency, where applicable.
