IFRS for long-lived assets IFRS for long-lived assets including intangiblesincluding intangibles Relevant IFRS:
IAS 16, Property, Plant and EquipmentIAS 38, Intangible Assets, IAS 36, Impairment of AssetsIFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations)

Plant, Property & EquipmentPlant, Property & Equipment
IFRS PP&E can be carried at historical
cost or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation & impairment
Interest costs are capitalized if criteria of IAS23 are met
No inclusion of ARO in cost of asset when used for production of inventories
US GAAP PP&E must be carried at
historical cost less accumulated depreciation
Interest costs must be capitalized if FAS34 requirements are met
AROs are recognized where there is a obligation to be met at retirement (no exception)

Plant, Property & EquipmentPlant, Property & Equipment
Revaluation under IFRSEntity must choose cost model or revaluation
model for an entire class of property, plant & equipment [IAS16, para. 29]
If revaluation model is chosen, fair values that can be reliably determined must be done with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period [IAS16, para. 31]

Revaluation under IFRSRevaluation under IFRS
Increase in value: Debit asset and report comprehensive income The associated AOCI is called “revaluation surplus”
Decrease in value: Credit asst and … First, debit revaluation surplus to the extent it exists
(for the specific asset) and report that portion of the loss in comprehensive income
Any remaining loss reduces profit & loss for the period

Class Discussion - BrainstormClass Discussion - Brainstorm
What is it about American culture and history that makes upward revaluation unacceptable?
If you are not an American, what is it about your culture (or others) that make upward revaluation acceptable?

Research & DevelopmentResearch & Development
IFRS Development costs must be
capitalized and amortize if criteria are met
Cost to develop websites must be capitalized if criteria are met, including probably future economic benefit
In-process R&D acquired as part of business combination is capitalized
Revaluation is allowed although rare
US GAAP Expense R&D as incurred Website cost capitalization
depends on phase of spending based on SOP 98-1 and/or FAS86
IPR&D acquired as part of business combination is expensed immediately
Revaluation is not allowed

Research vs. Development Research vs. Development under IFRS under IFRS (IAS38, para. 54-57)(IAS38, para. 54-57) First step – classify internally generated
intangible assets as being in either (1) a research phase or (2) a development phaseResearch is expensed as incurredDevelopment costs are capitalized only when
the entity can demonstrate all of the following: Next slide – 6 criteria

Capitalization Criteria [IAS38 ¶57]Capitalization Criteria [IAS38 ¶57]
a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible
b) Its intention to complete the intangible asset
c) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset
d) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits
e) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete
f) Reliable measurement of related expenditures
9
Caveats in IAS 38Caveats in IAS 38
Internally generated brands, mastheads, publishing titles, customer lists and items similar in substance shall not be recognized as intangible assets.
Past expenses cannot not later be recognized as part of an intangible asset

IFRS amortization rules – IFRS amortization rules – basically similar to US GAAPbasically similar to US GAAP Intangible assets with indefinite life are not
amortized – but are tested for impairment Intangible assets with finite useful lives
Allocated on a systematic basis over the useful life to reflect pattern of the economic benefits expected
Cease amortization at date asset is classified as held for sale

Impairment of long-lived assetsImpairment of long-lived assets
IFRS: 1-step process Recoverable amount is
higher of Fair value less cost to sell Value in use
Discounting required in evaluation stage
Impairment losses must be reversed if circumstances change (except goodwill)
FASB: 2-step process FAS 144—for an asset in use,
undiscounted future cash flows from use establish recoverability used for the impairment calculation Not considered impaired unless
undiscounted cash flows are less than carrying value
Discounting occurs only for the step 2 valuation stage
Impairment losses cannot be reversed
19
IFRS 1-step testIFRS 1-step test
Impaired if recoverable amount > carrying value At end of each reporting period, look for indications of
impairment Impairment tests need not be done if there are no
indications of impairment EXCEPTION
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life (including goodwill) and intangible asset not yet available for use
For these assets, impairment test is at end of reporting period
20
Similar to US GAAP which requires annual impairment tests for intangibles with indefinite lives but not for other long-lived assets

IAS36 – Indicators of impairmentIAS36 – Indicators of impairment
Decline in market value greater than expected as a result of normal use or passage of time
Significant adverse changes affecting entity including economic, technological, legal environment
Higher interest rates which would make future cash flows less valuable
Evidence of physical damage or obsolescence Plans to discontinue use, dispose of asset, etc.
23
FAS 144 Indicators of impairmentFAS 144 Indicators of impairment
Events or changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable
Decline in market value Change in way asset is used or physical change in
asset Adverse changes in legal factors or business
climate Probable sale of asset before end of useful life Current period losses with history of operating or
cash flow losses associated with asset
Timing of impairment testsTiming of impairment tests
IFRS When an indication of impairment is
observed (look for them at least annually)
Land, buildings, equipment Intangible assets with finite life
At least annually (at same time of year but not
necessarily at year end) Intangibles with indefinite life
including goodwill Intangibles not yet in use
(development costs)
US GAAP When indication of
impairment exists (FAS 144) long-lived assets intangibles subject to amortization (FAS142, para. 15)
At least annual tests for intangibles with indefinite life including goodwill
GW tested at reporting unit level – related to segment reporting rules FAS131
Detailed evaluation of fair value may not be required every year

IAS36 – Measuring recoverable IAS36 – Measuring recoverable amountamount (1)(1) Recoverable amount can be for an
individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of other assets In this case, use a cash-generating unit (CGI)
to which the asset belongsThis is the usual case
27
IAS36 – Measuring recoverable IAS36 – Measuring recoverable amountamount (2)(2) Value in Use – based on calculations that
include: Estimate of future cash flows related to asset Expectations about possible variations in amount or
timing of future cash flows The time value of money Price for bearing uncertainty inherent in the asset Other factors such as illiquidity
28
IAS36 – VIUIAS36 – VIU (3)(3)
Discount rate to use Discount rate The discount rate (rates) shall be a pre-tax
rate (rates) that reflect(s) current market assessments of: the time value of money the risks specific to the asset for which the
future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted
29
IAS36 – Compare recoverable IAS36 – Compare recoverable amountsamounts (4)(4) Value in Use (discounted cash flows)
Discount the future cash inflows and outflows to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate disposal using appropriate discount rate
Fair Value less costs to sell (market-based) Best FV would be a binding sales agreement in an arm’s length
transaction Next best would be based on identical or similar assets traded
in an active market Never actually recommends discounted expected cash flow

Impairment ExampleImpairment Example
Johnson Company purchased equipment 8 years ago for $1,000,000. The equipment has been depreciated using the straight-line method with a 20-year useful life and 10% residual value.
Johnson's operations have experienced significant losses for the past 2 years and, as a result, the company has decided that the equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment.
Impairment Example (con’t)Impairment Example (con’t)
The management of Johnson Company estimates that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 7 years. Net cash inflow from the equipment will be $80,000 per year. The fair value of the equipment is $240,000 (based on market values of similar equipment). No goodwill was associated with the purchase of the equipment.
FAS 144 solution (slide a)FAS 144 solution (slide a)
Determine if an impairment loss should be recognized. Annual depreciation for the equipment has been
$45,000 ($1,000,000 - $100,000)/20 years. Current book value of the equipment is:
Original cost $1,000,000 Accumulated depreciation 360,000
($45,000 * 8 years) Book value $ 640,000
FAS 144 solution (slide b)FAS 144 solution (slide b)
Determine if an impairment loss should be recognized.
Anticipated future cash flows $ 560,000 (7 years * $80,000 per year) Look at the flow chart – should we recognize an
impairment?
The fair value is lower, so an impairment loss should be recognized.
FAS 144 solution (slide c)FAS 144 solution (slide c)
The “step 2” phase: Determine the amount of the loss and prepare the journal entry to record the loss. The impairment loss is equal to $400,000 ($640,000 -
$240,000) -- the difference between the book value of the equipment and its fair value. The impairment loss would be recorded as follows:
Acc’d Depreciation 360,000 Loss on Impairment 400,000 Equipment 760,000
VARIATION of ExampleVARIATION of Example(FAS144 solution, slide d)(FAS144 solution, slide d) What journal entry should Johnson Company make
if future cash flows related to the equipment were $980,000 in total? Since the future cash flows (undiscounted) equal
$980,000 and this amount is greater than the book value of $640,000, Johnson Company will not do anything.
No impairment is recognized and no upward revaluation is recorded.
No journal entry needed.
IFRS solution to the impairment IFRS solution to the impairment example (slide 1)example (slide 1) Synopsis of facts: Carrying value = $640,000 Future cash flows from use =
$80,000 per year for 7 years Market-based fair value less cost to sell =
$240,000 Determine VIU using 5% rate
37
IFRS solution to the impairment IFRS solution to the impairment example (slide 2)example (slide 2) Determine VIU: N=7, i=5%, FV=0, PMT=$80,000.
PV = $462,910 Recoverable amount = higher of FV
($240,000) and VIE ($462,910) Therefore, loss is $177,090
(BV 640,000 – VIE 462,910)
