    I’m not sure I would care to distinguish them unless “gain” relates to “this year” whereas “surplus” could be interpreted as a cumulative amount of prior revaluations

    Ok?

    Revaluations this year will appear in Comprehensive Income unless it’s a “surplus” revaluation where the surplus will go to Income Statement

    In the Statement of Financial Position, the asset will be reduced by the full impairment or will reflect the full revaluation upwards

    Ok?
