Commentary<br />

FRS 40: 75(c)<br />

FRS 1: 113<br />

FRS 40: 6<br />

FRS 40: 75(b)<br />

FRS 40: 30, 34<br />

(i) When judgement is required to determine the portions of investment property,<br />

owner-occupied property and property held for sale in the ordinary course of business,<br />

the entity shall disclose the criteria used to distinguish them and the judgements<br />

involved.<br />

(ii) A property interest that is held by a lessee under an operating lease may be classified<br />

and accounted for as an investment property, if and only if, the property would<br />

otherwise meet the definition of an investment property and the lessee uses the fair<br />

value model to account for the asset recognised. Once this classification is selected for<br />

the property held under the operating lease, all properties classified as investment<br />

property shall be accounted for using the fair value model. The entity shall disclose in<br />

what circumstances that the property interests held under operating leases are<br />

classified and accounted for as investment property.<br />

(iii) The entity can choose to apply the fair value model or the cost model to its investment<br />

property with the exception where the entity, as a lessee, classifies a property interest<br />

held by it under an operating lease as investment property.<br />

Then where the entity chooses to apply the cost model to its investment property, the<br />

following accounting policy may be adopted:<br />

FRS 40: 56<br />

FRS 40: 79(a), (b)<br />

FRS 40: 79(e)<br />

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital<br />

appreciation is initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less<br />

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is charged, using the<br />

straight-line method, so as to write off the cost over their estimated useful lives of<br />

[ ] years. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method of investment<br />

properties are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate, at the end of each financial year.<br />

The effects of any revision are included in profit or loss when the changes arise.<br />

(iv) Under the cost model, the fair value of investment property shall be disclosed at the end<br />

of each financial year. In exceptional cases where the entity cannot determine the fair<br />

value of investment property reliably, it shall disclose:<br />

(a) A description of the investment property;<br />

(b) An explanation of why fair value cannot be determined reliably; and<br />

(c) If possible, the range of estimates within fair value is highly likely to lie.<br />

2.13 Intangible assets<br />

Goodwill<br />

FRS 103: 51<br />

FRS 103: 54<br />

FRS 36: 80<br />

FRS 36: 90<br />

FRS 36: 124<br />

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity represents the<br />

excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable<br />

assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or jointly controlled entity<br />

recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is<br />

subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.<br />

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s<br />

cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.<br />

Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually,<br />

or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable<br />

amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment<br />

loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and<br />

then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in<br />

the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.<br />
