the impairment loss may be considered in the light of presentation of financial statements which represents the position as on the reporting date.

It is possible that the impairment or loss
nullifies or modifies till the reporting date. This is known as temporary impairment.
.
Unless the impairment is permanent, it should be considered as on reporting date by making an adjustment (downward) in carrying amount. Otherwise the point of time will be, that date on which permanent impairment takes place.
