COURSE CONTENT DISCUSSION

3.1.1 NONCURRENT ASSET HELD FOR SALE

✓ What is a noncurrent asset ?


 A noncurrent asset is an asset that does not meet the definition of a current asset.
❖ The noncurrent asset may be an individual asset, like land and building, or a disposal
group.
❖ What is a disposal group?
• It is a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, together as a group in a
single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be
transferred in the transaction.

✓ What is a noncurrent asset held for sale?


 PFRS 5 paragraph 6 provides that a noncurrent asset or disposal group is classified as held for
sale if the carrying amount will be recovered PRINCIPALLY through a SALE transaction
rather than through continuing use.
a. What does this mean?
1. The entity does NOT intend to use the asset for its business operations; AND
2. The assets are intended to be sold to recover the carrying amount.

 What conditions should be present for a noncurrent asset to be classified as held for sale?
1. The asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in the present condition
subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such assets for disposal group.
a. The current condition of the asset should be adequate to be effectively “sold as seen” or
“as is, where is.”
2. The sale must be highly probable.
b. When can a sale be considered as highly probable?
• When the following conditions must be met:
1. Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group

2023-2024 Module Packets for AE 17 (Intermediate Accounting III) | College of Commerce |


University of San Agustin, Iloilo City, 5000, Philippines Page 4 of 15
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

2. An active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been
initiated
3. The sale is expected to be completed sale within one year from the date of
classification as held for sale
o An extension of the one-year period does not preclude the asset or disposal
group from being classified as held for sale if the delay is caused by events or
circumstances beyond the entity's control.
4. The asset or disposal group must be actively marketed for sale at a sale price
that is reasonable in relation to the fair value.
5. Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will
be significantly changed or withdrawn.

 How is asset held for sale measured for accounting purposes?


❖ PFRS 5 paragraph 15 provides that an entity shall measure a noncurrent asset or disposal
group classified as held for sale at the LOWER of carrying amount or fair value less cost
of disposal.
• What is a carrying amount ?
o It is the transaction price at the time of the acquisition of the noncurrent asset that is
held for sale.
• What is a fair value ?
o It is the current valuation at which the noncurrent asset can be traded in a market for
such kind or type of asset where there is a willing seller and a willing buyer.
o For example, an appraisal value determined by an independent appraiser may be
used to establish the fair value of a noncurrent asset held for sale.

 Will the noncurrent asset held for sale be depreciated just like the ordinary noncurrent assets?
❖ Paragraph 25 provides that a noncurrent asset classified as held for sale shall not be
depreciated.
 If noncurrent asset held for sale will not be depreciated, being a noncurrent asset, how will the
amount be measured and presented in the statement of financial position?
❖ The noncurrent asset held for sale shall be subjected to
a. WRITEDOWN to FAIR VALUE LESS COST OF DISPOSAL.
• What is the treatment for a writedown?
1. If the fair value less cost of disposal is lower than carrying amount of the asset or
disposal group, the write down to fair value less cost of disposal is treated as an
impairment loss.
o An impairment loss is recognized because the amount reflected in the
statement of financial position (carrying amount) is higher or overstated
than what is actually realizable if the noncurrent asset is sold at the time of
valuation or writedown.
2. If the noncurrent asset is a disposal group, the impairment loss is apportioned
across the asset based on carrying amount after writing off any goodwill first.

b. SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN FAIR VALUE

2023-2024 Module Packets for AE 17 (Intermediate Accounting III) | College of Commerce |


University of San Agustin, Iloilo City, 5000, Philippines Page 5 of 15
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

• If subsequently there is an increase in the fair value less cost of disposal, PFRS 5
paragraph 21 provides that an entity shall recognize a gain but not in excess of any
impairment loss previously recognized.

Illustration 1
On January 1 2019 an entity acquired an equipment at a cost of 5,000,000 to be used. The
equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years in a residual value of 500,000

On January 1 2022, the equipment was classified as held for sale. Search date, less was
at one 1,900,000. On June 30 2022 the equipment was for sold for 1,500,000

On December 31, 2020, the equipment was classified as equipment held for sale. On such
date, the fair value less cost of disposal was 3,000,000. On July 1, 2021 the equipment
was sold for 2,900,000.

c. REVALUED ASSET CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE


• PFRS 5 paragraph 18 provides the entity adopts the revaluation model for the
measurement of assets.
o Any asset classified as held for sale should be revalued to fair value
immediately prior to the classification as held for sale.

• What is the accounting treatment for the effects of the revaluation of assets?
1. If the fair value at the classification date less the carrying amount at that date
results in an excess of the revaluation amount, the excess shall be treated as
additional revaluation surplus.
Revaluation amount xx
Less: Fair value at classification date xx
Revaluation Surplus xx

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

2. Any cost of disposal at classification date should be recognized as impairment


loss for the period and deducted from the asset held for sale.
3. At subsequent year end, the revalued asset classified as held for sale shall be
measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost of disposal.

Illustration 3
On January 1, 2019 an entity acquired land at the cost of 2,500,000.

The land is measured at fair value in accordance with the revaluation model.

On December 31, 2019 the fair value of the land was 3,000,000.

On June 30, 2020, the land was classified as held for sale.

On such date, the fair value was estimated at 3,500,000 and the cost of disposal at
100,000.

On December 31, 2020, the land was sold for 3,350,000.

 What is an abandoned noncurrent asset?


❖ PFRS 5 paragraph 13 provides that an entity shall not classify as held for sale a non-current
asset or disposal group that is to be abandoned.
❖ What is the abandoned noncurrent asset cannot be classified as asset held for sale?
• This is because the carrying amount will be recovered principally through continuing
use or the noncurrent asset is to be used until the end of its economic life.
❖ How should a temporarily abandoned noncurrent asset be treated?
• PFRS five paragraph 14 provides that an entity shall not account for a noncurrent asset
that has been temporarily taken out of use as if it had been abandoned.
o For example, an entity ceases to use a manufacturing plant because demand for its
products has declined.
o However, the plant is maintained in workable condition and is expected that it will be
brought back into use if demand picks up.
o In this case, the plant is not regarded as abandoned.

❖ Is a change in classification from held for sale to noncurrent asset or disposal group
permitted?
• This situation usually happens when there is a decision not to sell the non-current assets
anymore, thus, the criteria for being classified as held for sale may no longer be met.

• FRS 5 paragraph 27 provides that the entity shall measure the noncurrent asset that
ceases to be classified as held for sale at the lower of:
a. Carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale adjusted for any
depreciation or amortization that would have been recognized if the asset had not
been classified as held for sale
b. Recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell

Illustration
An entity purchased equipment for 5,000,000 on January 1, 2019 with a useful life of 10
years and no residual value.

On December 31, 2020 the entity classified the asset as held for sale. The fair value of the
equipment on December 31, 2020 is 3,300,000 and the cost of disposal is 100,000.

On December 31, 2021 the fair value of the equipment is 3,800,000 and the cost of
disposal is 200,000.

On the same date, the entity believed that the criteria for classification as held for sale can
no longer be met. Accordingly, the entity decided not to sell the asset but to continue to
use it.

lower than the fair value less cost of disposal of 3,600,000

o PFRS 5 paragraph 28 states that any adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-
current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale should be included in profit
or loss.

o However, if the noncurrent asset is measured using the revaluation model before it
was classified as held for sale, any adjustment shall be treated as a revaluation
increase or decrease.

 How is asset classified as held for sale presented in the statement of financial position?
❖ PFRS 5 paragraph 3 provides that assets classified as non-current in accordance with PAS 1
shall not be classified as current assets until they meet the criteria to be classified as held for
sale.

o Simply stated, a noncurrent asset that is already classified as held for sale shall be
presented separately as current asset.
o PFRS 5 paragraph 38 provides that if the noncurrent asset is a disposable group
classified as held for sale, the assets and liabilities of the group shall be presented
separately and cannot be offset as a single amount.

2023-2024 Module Packets for AE 17 (Intermediate Accounting III) | College of Commerce |


University of San Agustin, Iloilo City, 5000, Philippines Page 11 of 15
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

o In other words, the assets of the disposal group shall be described as “noncurrent assets
classified as held for sale” presented separately as a single amount under current
assets.
o The liabilities of the disposal group shall be described as “liabilities directly associated
with noncurrent assets classified as held for sale” presented separately as a single
amount under current liabilities.

 What is a change in method of disposal?


❖ The IASB amended IFRS 52 clarify the accounting treatment when an entity reclassifies an
asset or disposal group from “held for sale” to “held for distribution to owners” or vice versa
without any time lag.

1. The change in classification is considered a continuation of the original plan of disposal.


2. The entity shall continue to apply the “held for sale” or “held for distribution” accounting.
• In other words, the asset shall be measured at the lower between carrying amount and
fair value less cost of disposal or fair value less cost to distribute.
3. At the time of reclassification, the entity shall recognize any impairment loss or subsequent
increase in fair value less cost of disposal or distribution.
4. The change in classification does not, in, expand in which a sale has to be completed.

3.1.2 DISCONTINUED OPERATION

✓ What is a noncurrent asset ?


 A noncurrent asset is an asset that does not meet the definition of a current asset.

Discontinued operations
Under appendix a of pf rs5 a discontinued operation is defined as a component of an entity that either
has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and
• represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
• is a part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or
geographical area of operations;
• exclusively with a view to resale.

component classified as held for sale


the discontinued operation is accounted for as a “ disposal group classified as held for sale.”

the component of an entity must be available for immediate sale in the present condition and the sale
must be highly probable.

timing of reporting
a component of an entity is classified as discontinued operation at the date:
when the entity has actually disposed of the operation
when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale

pf rs5 paragraph 12 prohibits the retroactive classification as a discontinued operation when the
discontinued criteria are met after the end of reporting period

2023-2024 Module Packets for AE 17 (Intermediate Accounting III) | College of Commerce |


University of San Agustin, Iloilo City, 5000, Philippines Page 12 of 15
COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

Stated otherwise, if the discontinued criteria are met after the end of reporting period, an entity shall not
classify the discontinued operation as held for sale in the current financial statements.

component of an entity
A component of an entity maybe a subsidiary, a major line of business or geographical segments whose
operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting
purposes, from the rest of the entity.

the component can be clearly distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes if the
assets and the liabilities and the revenue and expenses are directly attributable to the component.

Assets, liabilities, income and expense are directly attributable to the component if they would be
eliminated when component is disposed of.

accordingly, a discontinued operation occurs when the operations and cash flows of the component has
been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity and the entity will have no significant
continuing involvement in the component after disposal

examples of discontinued operation


Selling by a diversified entity of a major division that represents the entities only activities in the
electronics industry
selling by a meat packing entity of controlling interest in a furniture entity
all other operations of the entity are in the meatpacking business
selling by an entity of all its radio stations
the entity's remaining activities are television stations and the publishing house.
a conglomerate is engaged in commodity business, real estate, manufacturing and construction
business

selling of any of the four businesses is a discontinued operations

examples which are not discontinued operation


phasing out of product line within a product group
shifting of production or marketing activities for a particular line of business from one location to another
closing of a facility, fact to or saving

Income statement presentation
