INTRODUCTION

Reasons for issuing the FRS

IN1 Financial Reporting Standard 105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale andDiscontinued Operations (FRS 105) sets out requirements for the classification,measurement and presentation of non-current assets held for sale and replacesFRS 35 Discontinuing Operations.

IN2 [Not used]

IN3 The FRS arises from the consideration of FASB Statement No. 144 Accounting forthe Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), issued in 2001.

IN4 SFAS 144 addresses three areas: (i) the impairment of long-lived assets to be heldand used, (ii) the classification, measurement and presentation of assets held forsale and (iii) the classification and presentation of discontinued operations.

IN5 The FRS achieves substantial convergence with the requirements of SFAS 144relating to assets held for sale, the timing of the classification of operations asdiscontinued and the presentation of such operations.

Main features of the FRS

IN6 The FRS:

(a) adopts the classification held for sale.

(b) introduces the concept of a disposal group, being a group of assets to bedisposed of, by sale or otherwise, together as a group in a singletransaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will betransferred in the transaction.

(c) specifies that assets or disposal groups that are classified as held for saleare carried at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(d) specifies that an asset classified as held for sale, or included within adisposal group that is classified as held for sale, is not depreciated.

(e) specifies that an asset classified as held for sale, and the assets andliabilities included within a disposal group classified as held for sale, arepresented separately on the face of the balance sheet.

(f) withdraws FRS 35 Discontinuing Operations and replaces it withrequirements that:

(i) change the timing of the classification of an operation asdiscontinued. FRS 35 classified an operation as discontinuing at theearlier of (a) the entity entering into a binding sale agreement and(b) the board of directors approving and announcing a formaldisposal plan. The FRS classifies an operation as discontinued atthe date the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held forsale or when the entity has disposed of the operation.

(ii) specify that the results of discontinued operations are to be shownseparately on the face of the income statement.

(iii) prohibit retroactive classification of an operation as discontinued,when the criteria for that classification are not met until after the

balance sheet date.

Financial Reporting Standard 105

Non-current Assets Held for Sale andDiscontinued Operations

OBJECTIVE

1 The objective of this FRS is to specify the accounting for assets held for sale, andthe presentation and disclosure ofdiscontinued operations. In particular, the FRSrequires:

(a) assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale to bemeasured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell,and depreciation on such assets to cease; and

(b) assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale to bepresented separately on the face of the balance sheet and the results ofdiscontinued operations to be presented separately in the income

statement.

SCOPE

2 The classification and presentation requirements of this FRS apply to allrecognised non-current assets * and to all disposal groups of an entity. Themeasurement requirements of this FRS apply to all recognised non-current assetsand disposal groups (as set out in paragraph 4), except for those assets listed inparagraph 5 which shall continue to be measured in accordance with the Standardnoted.

3 Assets classified as non-current in accordance with FRS 1 Presentation of

Financial Statements (as revised in 2004) shall not be reclassified as currentassets until they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordancewith this FRS. Assets of a class that an entity would normally regard as non-current that are acquired exclusively with a view to resale shall not be classifiedas current unless they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale inaccordance with this FRS.

4 Sometimes an entity disposes of a group of assets, possibly with some directlyassociated liabilities, together in a single transaction. Such a disposal group maybe a group of cash-generating units, a single cash-generating unit, or part of acash-generating unit.The group may include any assets and any liabilities of theentity, including current assets, current liabilities and assets excluded byparagraph 5 from the measurement requirements of this FRS. If a non-current

asset within the scope of the measurement requirements of this FRS is part of adisposal group, the measurement requirements of this FRS apply to the group asa whole, so that the group is measured at the lower of its carrying amount andfair value less costs to sell. The requirements for measuring the individual assetsand liabilities within the disposal group are set out in paragraphs 18, 19 and 23.

* For assets classified according to a liquidity presentation, non-current assets are assets that includeamounts expected to be recovered more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Paragraph 3applies to the classification of such assets.

However, once the cash flows from an asset or group of assets are expected to arise principally from sale

rather than continuing use, they become less dependent on cash flows arising from other assets, and adisposal group that was part of a cash -generating unit becomes a separate cash-generating unit.

2


6/25

5 The measurement provisions of this FRS do not apply to the following assets,which are covered by the Standards listed, either as individual assets or as part ofa disposal group:

(a) deferred tax assets (FRS 12 Income Taxes).

(b) assets arising from employee benefits (FRS 19 Employee Benefits).

(c) financial assets within the scope of FRS 39 Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement.

(d) non-current assets that are accounted for in accordance with the fair valuemodel in FRS 40 Investment Property.

(e) non-current assets that are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs in accordance with FRS 41Agriculture.

(f) contractual rights under insurance contracts as defined in FRS 104Insurance Contracts.

CLASSIFICATION OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS (OR DISPOSAL

GROUPS) AS HELD FOR SALE6 An entity shall classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held

for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through asale transaction rather than through continuing use.

7 For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available forimmediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual andcustomary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must be highlyprobable.

8 For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must becommitted to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group), and an active

programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated.Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at aprice that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the saleshould be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one yearfrom the date of classification, except as permitted by paragraph 9, and actionsrequired to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significantchanges to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

9 Events or circumstances may extend the period to complete the sale beyond oneyear. An extension of the period required to complete a sale does not preclude anasset (or disposal group) from being classified as held for sale if the delay iscaused by events or circumstances beyond the entitys control and there issufficient evidence that the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset

(or disposal group). This will be the case when the criteria in Appendix B are met.

10 Sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-currentassets when the exchange has commercial substance in accordance with FRS 16Property, Plant and Equipment.

11 When an entity acquires a non-current asset (or disposal group) exclusively with aview to its subsequent disposal, it shall classify the non-current asset (or disposalgroup) as held for sale at the acquisition date only if the one-year requirement inparagraph 8 is met (except as permitted by paragraph 9) and it is highly probablethat any other criteria in paragraphs 7 and 8 that are not met at that date will bemet within a short period following the acquisition (usually within three months).

Other than paragraphs 18 and 19, which require the assets in question to be measured in accordancewith other applicable FRSs.

3


7/25

12 If the criteria in paragraphs 7 and 8 are met after the balance sheet date, anentity shall not classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale inthose financial statements when issued. However, when those criteria are metafter the balance sheet date but before the authorisation of the financialstatements for issue, the entity shall disclose the information specified inparagraph 41(a), (b) and (d) in the notes.

Non-current assets that are to be abandoned

13 An entity shall not classify as held for sale a non-current asset (or disposal group)that is to be abandoned. This is because its carrying amount will be recoveredprincipally through continuing use. However, if the disposal group to beabandoned meets the criteria in paragraph 32(a)-(c), the entity shall present theresults and cash flows of the disposal group as discontinued operations inaccordance with paragraphs 33 and 34 at the date on which it ceases to be used.Non-current assets (or disposal groups) to be abandoned include non-currentassets (or disposal groups) that are to be used to the end of their economic lifeand non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are to be closed rather than sold.

14 An entity shall not account for a non-current asset that has been temporarilytaken out of use as if it had been abandoned.

MEASUREMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS (OR DISPOSALGROUPS) CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

Measurement of a non-current asset (or disposal group)

15 An entity shall measure a non-current asset (or disposal group) classified as heldfor sale at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

16 If a newly acquired asset (or disposal group) meets the criteria to be classified as

held for sale (see paragraph 11), applying paragraph 15 will result in the asset (ordisposal group) being measured on initial recognition at the lower of its carryingamount had it not been so classified (for example, cost) and fair value less coststo sell. Hence, if the asset (or disposal group) is acquired as part of a businesscombination, it shall be measured at fair value less costs to sell.

17 When the sale is expected to occur beyond one year, the entity shall measure thecosts to sell at their present value. Any increase in the present value of the coststo sell that arises from the passage of time shall be presented in profit or loss as afinancing cost.

18 Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) asheld for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and liabilities inthe group) shall be measured in accordance with applicable FRSs.

19 On subsequent remeasurement of a disposal group, the carrying amounts of anyassets and liabilities that are not within the scope of the measurementrequirements of this FRS, but are included in a disposal group classified as heldfor sale, shall be remeasured in accordance with applicable FRSs before the fairvalue less costs to sell of the disposal group is remeasured.

Recognition of impairment losses and reversals

20 An entity shall recognise an impairment loss for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell, to the extent

that it has not been recognised in accordance with paragraph 19.

4


8/25

21 An entity shall recognise a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value lesscosts to sell of an asset, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss thathas been recognised either in accordance with this FRS or previously inaccordance with FRS 36 Impairment of Assets.

22 An entity shall recognise a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less

costs to sell of a disposal group:

(a) to the extent that it has not been recognised in accordance with paragraph19; but

(b) not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognised,either in accordance with this FRS or previously in accordance with FRS 36,on the non-current assets that are within the scope of the measurementrequirements of this FRS.

23 The impairment loss (or any subsequent gain) recognised for a disposal groupshall reduce (or increase) the carrying amount of the non-current assets in thegroup that are within the scope of the measurement requirements of this FRS, inthe order of allocation set out in paragraphs 104(a) and (b) and 122 of FRS 36 (as

revised in 2004).

24 A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of a non-currentasset (or disposal group) shall be recognised at the date of derecognition.Requirements relating to derecognition are set out in:

(a) paragraphs 67-72 of FRS 16 (as revised in 2004) for property, plant andequipment, and

(b) paragraphs 112-117 of FRS 38 Intangible Assets (as revised in 2004) forintangible assets.

25 An entity shall not depreciate (or amortise) a non-current asset while it isclassified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as heldfor sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposalgroup classified as held for sale shall continue to be recognised.

Changes to a plan of sale

26 If an entity has classified an asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, but thecriteria in paragraphs 7-9 are no longer met, the entity shall cease to classify theasset (or disposal group) as held for sale.

27 The entity shall measure a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as heldfor sale (or ceases to be included in a disposal group classified as held for sale) atthe lower of:

(a) its carrying amount before the asset (or disposal group) was classified asheld for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortisation or revaluationsthat would have been recognised had the asset (or disposal group) notbeen classified as held for sale, and

(b) its recoverable amountat the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

28 The entity shall include any required adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale in income from

If the non-current asset is part of a cash-generating unit, its recoverable amount is the carryingamount that would have been recognised after the allocation of any impairment loss arising on that cash-generating unit in accordance with FRS 36.

Unless the asset is property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset that had been revalued inaccordance with FRS 16 or FRS 38 before classification as held for sale, in which case the adjustment shallbe treated as a revaluation increase or decrease.

9/25

continuing operations in the period in which the criteria in paragraphs 7-9 are nolonger met. The entity shall present that adjustment in the same incomestatement caption used to present a gain or loss, if any, recognised in accordancewith paragraph 37.

29 If an entity removes an individual asset or liability from a disposal group classified

as held for sale, the remaining assets and liabilities of the disposal group to besold shall continue to be measured as a group only if the group meets the criteriain paragraphs 7-9. Otherwise, the remaining non-current assets of the group thatindividually meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale shall be measuredindividually at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sellat that date. Any non-current assets that do not meet the criteria shall cease tobe classified as held for sale in accordance with paragraph 26.

PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE

30 An entity shall present and disclose information that enables users ofthe financial statements to evaluate the financial effects of discontinuedoperations and disposals of non-current assets (or disposal groups).

10/25

Presenting discontinued operations

31 A componentof an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearlydistinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest ofthe entity. In other words, a component of an entity will have been a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units while being held for use.

32 A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has beendisposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and

(a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area ofoperations,

(b) is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line ofbusiness or geographical area of operations or

(c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

33 An entity shall disclose:

(a) a single amount on the face of the income statement comprising the totalof:

(i) the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and

(ii) the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fairvalue less costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets or disposalgroup(s) constituting the discontinued operation.

(b) an analysis of the single amount in (a) into:

(i) the revenue, expenses and pre-tax profit or loss of discontinuedoperations;

(ii) the related income tax expense as required by paragraph 81(h) ofFRS 12;

(iii) the gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fair value lesscosts to sell or on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s)constituting the discontinued operation; and

(iv) the related income tax expense as required by paragraph 81(h) ofFRS 12.

The analysis may be presented in the notes or on the face of the incomestatement. If it is presented on the face of the income statement it shallbe presented in a section identified as relating to discontinued operations,i.e. separately from continuing operations. The analysis is not required fordisposal groups that are newly acquired subsidiaries that meet the criteriato be classified as held for sale on acquisition (see paragraph 11).

(c) the net cash flows attributable to the operating, investing and financingactivities of discontinued operations. These disclosures may be presentedeither in the notes or on the face of the financial statements. Thesedisclosures are not required for disposal groups that are newly acquiredsubsidiaries that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale onacquisition (see paragraph 11).

34 An entity shall re-present the disclosures in paragraph 33 for prior periodspresented in the financial statements so that the disclosures relate to alloperations that have been discontinued by the balance sheet date for the latestperiod presented.

35 Adjustments in the current period to amounts previously presented indiscontinued operations that are directly related to the disposal of a discontinuedoperation in a prior period shall be classified separately in discontinued

7


11/25

operations. The nature and amount of such adjustments shall be disclosed.Examples of circumstances in which these adjustments may arise include thefollowing:

(a) the resolution of uncertainties that arise from the terms of the disposaltransaction, such as the resolution of purchase price adjustments andindemnification issues with the purchaser.

(b) the resolution of uncertainties that arise from and are directly related tothe operations of the component before its disposal, such asenvironmental and product warranty obligations retained by the seller.

(c) the settlement of employee benefit plan obligations, provided that thesettlement is directly related to the disposal transaction.

36 If an entity ceases to classify a component of an entity as held for sale, the resultsof operations of the component previously presented in discontinued operations inaccordance with paragraphs 33-35 shall be reclassified and included in incomefrom continuing operations for all periods presented. The amounts for priorperiods shall be described as having been re-presented.

Gains or losses relating to continuing operations

37 Any gain or loss on the remeasurement of a non-current asset (or disposal group)classified as held for sale that does not meet the definition of a discontinuedoperation shall be included in profit or loss from continuing operations.

Presentation of a non-current asset or disposal groupclassified as held for sale

38 An entity shall present a non-current asset classified as held for sale and theassets of a disposal group classified as held for sale separately from other assets

in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for saleshall be presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet. Thoseassets and liabilities shall not be offset and presented as a single amount. Themajor classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale shall be separatelydisclosed either on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes, except aspermitted by paragraph 39. An entity shall present separately any cumulativeincome or expense recognised directly in equity relating to a non-current asset (ordisposal group) classified as held for sale.

39 If the disposal group is a newly acquired subsidiary that meets the criteria to beclassified as held for sale on acquisition (see paragraph 11), disclosure of themajor classes of assets and liabilities is not required.

40 An entity shall not reclassify or re-present amounts presented for non-currentassets or for the assets and liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for salein the balance sheets for prior periods to reflect the classification in the balancesheet for the latest period presented.

Additional disclosures

41 An entity shall disclose the following information in the notes in the period inwhich a non-current asset (or disposal group) has been either classified as heldfor sale or sold:

(a) a description of the non-current asset (or disposal group);

(b) a description of the facts and circumstances of the sale, or leading to the

expected disposal, and the expected manner and timing of that disposal;

8


12/25

(c) the gain or loss recognised in accordance with paragraphs 20-22 and, ifnot separately presented on the face of the income statement, the captionin the income statement that includes that gain or loss;

Appendix B

Application supplement

This appendix is an integral part of the FRS.

Extension of the period required to complete a sale

B1 As noted in paragraph 9, an extension of the period required to complete a saledoes not preclude an asset (or disposal group) from being classified as held forsale if the delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond the entitys controland there is sufficient evidence that the entity remains committed to its plan tosell the asset (or disposal group). An exception to the one-year requirement inparagraph 8 shall therefore apply in the following situations in which such eventsor circumstances arise:

(a) at the date an entity commits itself to a plan to sell a non-current asset (ordisposal group) it reasonably expects that others (not a buyer) will impose

conditions on the transfer of the asset (or disposal group) that will extendthe period required to complete the sale, and:

(i) actions necessary to respond to those conditions cannot be initiateduntil after a firm purchase commitmentis obtained, and

(ii) a firm purchase commitment is highly probable within one year.

(b) an entity obtains a firm purchase commitment and, as a result, a buyer orothers unexpectedly impose conditions on the transfer of a non-currentasset (or disposal group) previously classified as held for sale that willextend the period required to complete the sale, and:

(i) timely actions necessary to respond to the conditions have beentaken, and

(ii) a favourable resolution of the delaying factors is expected.

(c) during the initial one-year period, circumstances arise that were previouslyconsidered unlikely and, as a result, a non-current asset (or disposalgroup) previously classified as held for sale is not sold by the end of thatperiod, and:

(i) during the initial one-year period the entity took action necessary torespond to the change in circumstances,

(ii) the non-current asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketedat a price that is reasonable, given the change in circumstances,and

(iii) the criteria in paragraphs 7 and 8 are met.
