ANNEX

International Financial Reporting Standard 16

Leases

International Financial Reporting Standard 16 Leases

OBJECTIVE

| 1. | This Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The objective is to ensure that lessees and lessors provide relevant information in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | An entity shall consider the terms and conditions of contracts and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this Standard. An entity shall apply this Standard consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. |
| --- | --- |

2.

SCOPE

| 3. | An entity shall apply this Standard to all leases, including leases of right-of-use assets in a sublease, except for:






  (a) | leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources; |
| --- | --- | --- |

3.

(a)

leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources;

| (b) | leases of biological assets within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture held by a lessee; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

leases of biological assets within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture held by a lessee;

| (c) | service concession arrangements within the scope of IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

service concession arrangements within the scope of IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements;

| (d) | licences of intellectual property granted by a lessor within the scope of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and |
| --- | --- |

(d)

licences of intellectual property granted by a lessor within the scope of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and

| (e) | rights held by a lessee under licensing agreements within the scope of IAS 38 Intangible Assets for such items as motion picture films, video recordings, plays, manuscripts, patents and copyrights. |
| --- | --- |

(e)

rights held by a lessee under licensing agreements within the scope of IAS 38 Intangible Assets for such items as motion picture films, video recordings, plays, manuscripts, patents and copyrights.

| 4. | A lessee may, but is not required to, apply this Standard to leases of intangible assets other than those described in paragraph 3(e). |
| --- | --- |

4.

RECOGNITION EXEMPTIONS (PARAGRAPHS B3–B8)

| 5. | A lessee may elect not to apply the requirements in paragraphs 22–49 to:






  (a) | short-term leases; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

5.

(a)

short-term leases; and

| (b) | leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (as described in paragraphs B3–B8). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (as described in paragraphs B3–B8).

| 6. | If a lessee elects not to apply the requirements in paragraphs 22–49 to either short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, the lessee shall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis. The lessee shall apply another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the lessee's benefit. |
| --- | --- |

6.

| 7. | If a lessee accounts for short-term leases applying paragraph 6, the lessee shall consider the lease to be a new lease for the purposes of this Standard if:






  (a) | there is a lease modification; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

7.

(a)

there is a lease modification; or

| (b) | there is any change in the lease term (for example, the lessee exercises an option not previously included in its determination of the lease term). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

there is any change in the lease term (for example, the lessee exercises an option not previously included in its determination of the lease term).

| 8. | The election for short-term leases shall be made by class of underlying asset to which the right of use relates. A class of underlying asset is a grouping of underlying assets of a similar nature and use in an entity's operations. The election for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value can be made on a lease-by-lease basis. |
| --- | --- |

8.

IDENTIFYING A LEASE (PARAGRAPHS B9–B33)

| 9. | At inception of a contract, an entity shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Paragraphs B9–B31 set out guidance on the assessment of whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. |
| --- | --- |

9.

| 10. | A period of time may be described in terms of the amount of use of an identified asset (for example, the number of production units that an item of equipment will be used to produce). |
| --- | --- |

10.

| 11. | An entity shall reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease only if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed. |
| --- | --- |

11.

Separating components of a contract

| 12. | For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, an entity shall account for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract, unless the entity applies the practical expedient in paragraph 15. Paragraphs B32–B33 set out guidance on separating components of a contract. |
| --- | --- |

12.

Lessee

| 13. | For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, a lessee shall allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis of the price the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge an entity for that component, or a similar component, separately. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, the lessee shall estimate the stand-alone price, maximising the use of observable information. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. A lessee shall not apply this practical expedient to embedded derivatives that meet the criteria in paragraph 4.3.3 of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. |
| --- | --- |

15.

| 16. | Unless the practical expedient in paragraph 15 is applied, a lessee shall account for non-lease components applying other applicable Standards. |
| --- | --- |

16.

Lessor

| 17. | For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, a lessor shall allocate the consideration in the contract applying paragraphs 73–90 of IFRS 15. |
| --- | --- |

17.

LEASE TERM (PARAGRAPHS B34–B41)

| 18. | An entity shall determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both:






  (a) | periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

18.

(a)

periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

| (b) | periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

| 19. | In assessing whether a lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, an entity shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease, as described in paragraphs B37–B40. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 20. | A lessee shall reassess whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that:






  (a) | is within the control of the lessee; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

20.

(a)

is within the control of the lessee; and

| (b) | affects whether the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option not previously included in its determination of the lease term, or not to exercise an option previously included in its determination of the lease term (as described in paragraph B41). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

affects whether the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option not previously included in its determination of the lease term, or not to exercise an option previously included in its determination of the lease term (as described in paragraph B41).

| 21. | An entity shall revise the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease. For example, the non-cancellable period of a lease will change if:






  (a) | the lessee exercises an option not previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term; |
| --- | --- | --- |

21.

(a)

the lessee exercises an option not previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term;

| (b) | the lessee does not exercise an option previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the lessee does not exercise an option previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term;

| (c) | an event occurs that contractually obliges the lessee to exercise an option not previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term; or |
| --- | --- |

(c)

an event occurs that contractually obliges the lessee to exercise an option not previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term; or

| (d) | an event occurs that contractually prohibits the lessee from exercising an option previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

an event occurs that contractually prohibits the lessee from exercising an option previously included in the entity's determination of the lease term.

LESSEE

Recognition

| 22. | At the commencement date, a lessee shall recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. |
| --- | --- |

22.

Measurement

Initial measurement

Initial measurement of the right-of-use asset

| 23. | At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost. |
| --- | --- |

23.

| 24. | The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise:






  (a) | the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, as described in paragraph 26; |
| --- | --- | --- |

24.

(a)

the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, as described in paragraph 26;

| (b) | any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

| (c) | any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and |
| --- | --- |

(c)

any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

| (d) | an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The lessee incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The lessee incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period.

| 25. | A lessee shall recognise the costs described in paragraph 24(d) as part of the cost of the right-of-use asset when it incurs an obligation for those costs. A lessee applies IAS 2 Inventories to costs that are incurred during a particular period as a consequence of having used the right-of-use asset to produce inventories during that period. The obligations for such costs accounted for applying this Standard or IAS 2 are recognised and measured applying IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. |
| --- | --- |

25.

Initial measurement of the lease liability

| 26. | At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. |
| --- | --- |

26.

| 27. | At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:






  (a) | fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments as described in paragraph B42), less any lease incentives receivable; |
| --- | --- | --- |

27.

(a)

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments as described in paragraph B42), less any lease incentives receivable;

| (b) | variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date (as described in paragraph 28); |
| --- | --- |

(b)

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date (as described in paragraph 28);

| (c) | amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

| (d) | the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option (assessed considering the factors described in paragraphs B37–B40); and |
| --- | --- |

(d)

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option (assessed considering the factors described in paragraphs B37–B40); and

| (e) | payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. |
| --- | --- |

(e)

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

| 28. | Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate described in paragraph 27(b) include, for example, payments linked to a consumer price index, payments linked to a benchmark interest rate (such as LIBOR) or payments that vary to reflect changes in market rental rates. |
| --- | --- |

28.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset

| 29. | After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset applying a cost model, unless it applies either of the measurement models described in paragraphs 34 and 35. |
| --- | --- |

29.

Cost model

| 30. | To apply a cost model, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost:






  (a) | less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

30.

(a)

less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and

| (b) | adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability specified in paragraph 36(c). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability specified in paragraph 36(c).

| 31. | A lessee shall apply the depreciation requirements in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment in depreciating the right-of-use asset, subject to the requirements in paragraph 32. |
| --- | --- |

31.

| 32. | If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee shall depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the lessee shall depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 33. | A lessee shall apply IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified. |
| --- | --- |

33.

Other measurement models

| 34. | If a lessee applies the fair value model in IAS 40 Investment Property to its investment property, the lessee shall also apply that fair value model to right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property in IAS 40. |
| --- | --- |

34.

| 35. | If right-of-use assets relate to a class of property, plant and equipment to which the lessee applies the revaluation model in IAS 16, a lessee may elect to apply that revaluation model to all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment. |
| --- | --- |

35.

Subsequent measurement of the lease liability

| 36. | After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by:








  (a) | increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; |
| --- | --- | --- |

36.

(a)

increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;

| (b) | reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and

| (c) | remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications specified in paragraphs 39–46, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments (see paragraph B42). |
| --- | --- |

(c)

remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications specified in paragraphs 39–46, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments (see paragraph B42).

| 37. | Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term shall be the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. The periodic rate of interest is the discount rate described in paragraph 26, or if applicable the revised discount rate described in paragraph 41, paragraph 43 or paragraph 45(c). |
| --- | --- |

37.

| 38. | After the commencement date, a lessee shall recognise in profit or loss, unless the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset applying other applicable Standards, both:






  (a) | interest on the lease liability; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

38.

(a)

interest on the lease liability; and

| (b) | variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

Reassessment of the lease liability

| 39. | After the commencement date, a lessee shall apply paragraphs 40–43 to remeasure the lease liability to reflect changes to the lease payments. A lessee shall recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, a lessee shall recognise any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss. |
| --- | --- |

39.

| 40. | A lessee shall remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate, if either:






  (a) | there is a change in the lease term, as described in paragraphs 20–21. A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments on the basis of the revised lease term; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

40.

(a)

there is a change in the lease term, as described in paragraphs 20–21. A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments on the basis of the revised lease term; or

| (b) | there is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, assessed considering the events and circumstances described in paragraphs 20–21 in the context of a purchase option. A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments to reflect the change in amounts payable under the purchase option. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

there is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, assessed considering the events and circumstances described in paragraphs 20–21 in the context of a purchase option. A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments to reflect the change in amounts payable under the purchase option.

| 41. | In applying paragraph 40, a lessee shall determine the revised discount rate as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. |
| --- | --- |

41.

| 42. | A lessee shall remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments, if either:






  (a) | there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments to reflect the change in amounts expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee. |
| --- | --- | --- |

42.

(a)

there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments to reflect the change in amounts expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee.

| (b) | there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, including for example a change to reflect changes in market rental rates following a market rent review. The lessee shall remeasure the lease liability to reflect those revised lease payments only whenthere is a change in the cash flows (ie when the adjustment to the lease payments takes effect). A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments for the remainder of the lease term based on the revised contractual payments. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, including for example a change to reflect changes in market rental rates following a market rent review. The lessee shall remeasure the lease liability to reflect those revised lease payments only whenthere is a change in the cash flows (ie when the adjustment to the lease payments takes effect). A lessee shall determine the revised lease payments for the remainder of the lease term based on the revised contractual payments.

| 43. | In applying paragraph 42, a lessee shall use an unchanged discount rate, unless the change in lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates. In that case, the lessee shall use a revised discount rate that reflects changes in the interest rate. |
| --- | --- |

43.

Lease modifications

| 44. | A lessee shall account for a lease modification as a separate lease if both:






  (a) | the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

44.

(a)

the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

| (b) | the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

| 45. | For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification a lessee shall:






  (a) | allocate the consideration in the modified contract applying paragraphs 13–16; |
| --- | --- | --- |

45.

(a)

allocate the consideration in the modified contract applying paragraphs 13–16;

| (b) | determine the lease term of the modified lease applying paragraphs 18–19; and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

determine the lease term of the modified lease applying paragraphs 18–19; and

| (c) | remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The revised discount rate is determined as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of the modification, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The revised discount rate is determined as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of the modification, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

| 46. | For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the lessee shall account for the remeasurement of the lease liability by:






  (a) | decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. The lessee shall recognise in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease. |
| --- | --- | --- |

46.

(a)

decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. The lessee shall recognise in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

| (b) | making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications.

Presentation

| 47. | A lessee shall either present in the statement of financial position, or disclose in the notes:






  (a) | right-of-use assets separately from other assets. If a lessee does not present right-of-use assets separately in the statement of financial position, the lessee shall:






  (i) | include right-of-use assets within the same line item as that within which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned; and |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

47.

(a)

right-of-use assets separately from other assets. If a lessee does not present right-of-use assets separately in the statement of financial position, the lessee shall:

| (ii) | disclose which line items in the statement of financial position include those right-of-use assets. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

disclose which line items in the statement of financial position include those right-of-use assets.

(b)

lease liabilities separately from other liabilities. If the lessee does not present lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position, the lessee shall disclose which line items in the statement of financial position include those liabilities.

| 48. | The requirement in paragraph 47(a) does not apply to right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property, which shall be presented in the statement of financial position as investment property. |
| --- | --- |

48.

| 49. | In the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a lessee shall present interest expense on the lease liability separately from the depreciation charge for the right-of-use asset. Interest expense on the lease liability is a component of finance costs, which paragraph 82(b) of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements requires to be presented separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. |
| --- | --- |

49.

| 50. | In the statement of cash flows, a lessee shall classify:






  (a) | cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities; |
| --- | --- | --- |

50.

(a)

cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities;

| (b) | cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability applying the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows for interest paid; and |

cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability applying the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows for interest paid; and

| (c) | short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability within operating activities. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability within operating activities.

Disclosure

| 51. | The objective of the disclosures is for lessees to disclose information in the notes that, together with the information provided in the statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss and statement of cash flows, gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the lessee.

| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | A lessee shall disclose the amount of its lease commitments for short-term leases accounted for applying paragraph 6 if the portfolio of short-term leases to which it is committed at the end of the reporting period is dissimilar to the portfolio of short-term leases to which the short-term lease expense disclosed applying paragraph 53(c) relates. |
| --- | --- |

55.

| 56. | If right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment property, a lessee shall apply the disclosure requirements in IAS 40. In that case, a lessee is not required to provide the disclosures in paragraph 53(a), (f), (h) or (j) for those right-of-use assets. |
| --- | --- |

56.

| 57. | If a lessee measures right-of-use assets at revalued amounts applying IAS 16, the lessee shall disclose the information required by paragraph 77 of IAS 16 for those right-of-use assets. |
| --- | --- |

57.

| 58. | A lessee shall disclose a maturity analysis of lease liabilities applying paragraphs 39 and B11 of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures separately from the maturity analyses of other financial liabilities. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | In addition to the disclosures required in paragraphs 53–58, a lessee shall disclose additional qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing activities necessary to meet the disclosure objective in paragraph 51 (as described in paragraph B48). This additional information may include, but is not limited to, information that helps users of financial statements to assess:






  (a) | the nature of the lessee's leasing activities; |
| --- | --- | --- |

59.

(a)

the nature of the lessee's leasing activities;

| (b) | future cash outflows to which the lessee is potentially exposed that are not reflected in the measurement of lease liabilities. This includes exposure arising from:

60.

LESSOR

Classification of leases (paragraphs B53–B58)

| 61. | A lessor shall classify each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. |
| --- | --- |

62.

| 63. | Whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract. Examples of situations that individually or in combination would normally lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are:






  (a) | the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; |
| --- | --- | --- |

63.

(a)

the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;

| (b) | the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised;

| (c) | the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not transferred; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not transferred;

| (d) | at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and |
| --- | --- |

(d)

at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and

| (e) | the underlying asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee can use it without major modifications. |
| --- | --- |

(e)

the underlying asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee can use it without major modifications.

| 64. | Indicators of situations that individually or in combination could also lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are:






  (a) | if the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor's losses associated with the cancellation are borne by the lessee; |
| --- | --- | --- |

64.

(a)

if the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor's losses associated with the cancellation are borne by the lessee;

| (b) | gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the residual accrue to the lessee (for example, in the form of a rent rebate equaling most of the sales proceeds at the end of the lease); and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the residual accrue to the lessee (for example, in the form of a rent rebate equaling most of the sales proceeds at the end of the lease); and

| (c) | the lessee has the ability to continue the lease for a secondary period at a rent that is substantially lower than market rent. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the lessee has the ability to continue the lease for a secondary period at a rent that is substantially lower than market rent.

| 65. | The examples and indicators in paragraphs 63–64 are not always conclusive. If it is clear from other features that the lease does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset, the lease is classified as an operating lease. For example, this may be the case if ownership of the underlying asset transfers at the end of the lease for a variable payment equal to its then fair value, or if there are variable lease payments, as a result of which the lessor does not transfer substantially all such risks and rewards. |
| --- | --- |

65.

| 66. | Lease classification is made at the inception date and is reassessed only if there is a lease modification. Changes in estimates (for example, changes in estimates of the economic life or of the residual value of the underlying asset), or changes in circumstances (for example, default by the lessee), do not give rise to a new classification of a lease for accounting purposes. |
| --- | --- |

66.

Finance leases

Recognition and measurement

| 67. | At the commencement date, a lessor shall recognise assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. |
| --- | --- |

67.

Initial measurement

| 68. | The lessor shall use the interest rate implicit in the lease to measure the net investment in the lease. In the case of a sublease, if the interest rate implicit in the sublease cannot be readily determined, an intermediate lessor may use the discount rate used for the head lease (adjusted for any initial direct costs associated with the sublease) to measure the net investment in the sublease. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Initial direct costs, other than those incurred by manufacturer or dealer lessors, are included in the initial measurement of the net investment in the lease and reduce the amount of income recognised over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in the lease is defined in such a way that the initial direct costs are included automatically in the net investment in the lease; there is no need to add them separately. |
| --- | --- |

69.

Initial measurement of the lease payments included in the net investment in the lease

| 70. | At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not received at the commencement date:






  (a) | fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments as described in paragraph B42), less any lease incentives payable; |
| --- | --- | --- |

70.

(a)

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments as described in paragraph B42), less any lease incentives payable;

| (b) | variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

| (c) | any residual value guarantees provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related to the lessee or a third party unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the obligations under the guarantee; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

any residual value guarantees provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related to the lessee or a third party unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the obligations under the guarantee;

| (d) | the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option (assessed considering the factors described in paragraph B37); and |
| --- | --- |

(d)

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option (assessed considering the factors described in paragraph B37); and

| (e) | payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. |
| --- | --- |

(e)

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Manufacturer or dealer lessors

| 71. | At the commencement date, a manufacturer or dealer lessor shall recognise the following for each of its finance leases:






  (a) | revenue being the fair value of the underlying asset, or, if lower, the present value of the lease payments accruing to the lessor, discounted using a market rate of interest; |
| --- | --- | --- |

71.

(a)

revenue being the fair value of the underlying asset, or, if lower, the present value of the lease payments accruing to the lessor, discounted using a market rate of interest;

| (b) | the cost of sale being the cost, or carrying amount if different, of the underlying asset less the present value of the unguaranteed residual value; and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the cost of sale being the cost, or carrying amount if different, of the underlying asset less the present value of the unguaranteed residual value; and

| (c) | selling profit or loss (being the difference between revenue and the cost of sale) in accordance with its policy for outright sales to which IFRS 15 applies. A manufacturer or dealer lessor shall recognise selling profit or loss on a finance lease at the commencement date, regardless of whether the lessor transfers the underlying asset as described in IFRS 15. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

selling profit or loss (being the difference between revenue and the cost of sale) in accordance with its policy for outright sales to which IFRS 15 applies. A manufacturer or dealer lessor shall recognise selling profit or loss on a finance lease at the commencement date, regardless of whether the lessor transfers the underlying asset as described in IFRS 15.

| 72. | Manufacturers or dealers often offer to customers the choice of either buying or leasing an asset. A finance lease of an asset by a manufacturer or dealer lessor gives rise to profit or loss equivalent to the profit or loss resulting from an outright sale of the underlying asset, at normal selling prices, reflecting any applicable volume or trade discounts. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Manufacturer or dealer lessors sometimes quote artificially low rates of interest in order to attract customers. The use of such a rate would result in a lessor recognising an excessive portion of the total income from the transaction at the commencement date. If artificially low rates of interest are quoted, a manufacturer or dealer lessor shall restrict selling profit to that which would apply if a market rate of interest were charged. |
| --- | --- |

73.

| 74. | A manufacturer or dealer lessor shall recognise as an expense costs incurred in connection with obtaining a finance lease at the commencement date because they are mainly related to earning the manufacturer or dealer's selling profit. Costs incurred by manufacturer or dealer lessors in connection with obtaining a finance lease are excluded from the definition of initial direct costs and, thus, are excluded from the net investment in the lease. |
| --- | --- |

74.

Subsequent measurement

| 75. | A lessor shall recognise finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. |
| --- | --- |

75.

| 76. | A lessor aims to allocate finance income over the lease term on a systematic and rational basis. A lessor shall apply the lease payments relating to the period against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income. |
| --- | --- |

76.

| 77. | A lessor shall apply the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. A lessor shall review regularly estimated unguaranteed residual values used in computing the gross investment in the lease. If there has been a reduction in the estimated unguaranteed residual value, the lessor shall revise the income allocation over the lease term and recognise immediately any reduction in respect of amounts accrued. |
| --- | --- |

77.

| 78. | A lessor that classifies an asset under a finance lease as held for sale (or includes it in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) applying IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations shall account for the asset in accordance with that Standard. |
| --- | --- |

78.

Lease modifications

| 79. | A lessor shall account for a modification to a finance lease as a separate lease if both:






  (a) | the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

79.

(a)

the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

| (b) | the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

| 80. | For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease, a lessor shall account for the modification as follows:






  (a) | if the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been in effect at the inception date, the lessor shall:






  (i) | account for the lease modification as a new lease from the effective date of the modification; and |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

80.

(a)

if the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been in effect at the inception date, the lessor shall:

(i)

account for the lease modification as a new lease from the effective date of the modification; and

| (ii) | measure the carrying amount of the underlying asset as the net investment in the lease immediately before the effective date of the lease modification. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

measure the carrying amount of the underlying asset as the net investment in the lease immediately before the effective date of the lease modification.

| (b) | otherwise, the lessor shall apply the requirements of IFRS 9. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

otherwise, the lessor shall apply the requirements of IFRS 9.

Operating leases

Recognition and measurement

| 81. | A lessor shall recognise lease payments from operating leases as income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. The lessor shall apply another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | A lessor shall recognise costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease income as an expense. |
| --- | --- |

82.

| 83. | A lessor shall add initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognise those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. |
| --- | --- |

83.

| 84. | The depreciation policy for depreciable underlying assets subject to operating leases shall be consistent with the lessor's normal depreciation policy for similar assets. A lessor shall calculate depreciation in accordance with IAS 16 and IAS 38. |
| --- | --- |

84.

| 85. | A lessor shall apply IAS 36 to determine whether an underlying asset subject to an operating lease is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified. |
| --- | --- |

85.

| 86. | A manufacturer or dealer lessor does not recognise any selling profit on entering into an operating lease because it is not the equivalent of a sale. |
| --- | --- |

86.

Lease modifications

| 87. | A lessor shall account for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease. |
| --- | --- |

87.

Presentation

| 88. | A lessor shall present underlying assets subject to operating leases in its statement of financial position according to the nature of the underlying asset. |
| --- | --- |

88.

Disclosure

| 89. | The objective of the disclosures is for lessors to disclose information in the notes that, together with the information provided in the statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss and statement of cash flows, gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the lessor. Paragraphs 90–97 specify requirements on how to meet this objective. |
| --- | --- |

89.

| 90. | A lessor shall disclose the following amounts for the reporting period:






  (a) | for finance leases:






  (i) | selling profit or loss; |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

90.

(a)

for finance leases:

(i)

selling profit or loss;

| (ii) | finance income on the net investment in the lease; and |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

finance income on the net investment in the lease; and

| (iii) | income relating to variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease. |
| --- | --- |

(iii)

income relating to variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease.

| (b) | for operating leases, lease income, separately disclosing income relating to variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

for operating leases, lease income, separately disclosing income relating to variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate.

| 91. | A lessor shall provide the disclosures specified in paragraph 90 in a tabular format, unless another format is more appropriate. |
| --- | --- |

91.

| 92. | A lessor shall disclose additional qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing activities necessary to meet the disclosure objective in paragraph 89. This additional information includes, but is not limited to, information that helps users of financial statements to assess:






  (a) | the nature of the lessor's leasing activities; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

92.

(a)

the nature of the lessor's leasing activities; and

| (b) | how the lessor manages the risk associated with any rights it retains in underlying assets. In particular, a lessor shall disclose its risk management strategy for the rights it retains in underlying assets, including any means by which the lessor reduces that risk. Such means may include, for example, buy-back agreements, residual value guarantees or variable lease payments for use in excess of specified limits. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

how the lessor manages the risk associated with any rights it retains in underlying assets. In particular, a lessor shall disclose its risk management strategy for the rights it retains in underlying assets, including any means by which the lessor reduces that risk. Such means may include, for example, buy-back agreements, residual value guarantees or variable lease payments for use in excess of specified limits.

Finance leases

| 93. | A lessor shall provide a qualitative and quantitative explanation of the significant changes in the carrying amount of the net investment in finance leases. |
| --- | --- |

93.

| 94. | A lessor shall disclose a maturity analysis of the lease payments receivable, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received on an annual basis for a minimum of each of the first five years and a total of the amounts for the remaining years. A lessor shall reconcile the undiscounted lease payments to the net investment in the lease. The reconciliation shall identify the unearned finance income relating to the lease payments receivable and any discounted unguaranteed residual value. |
| --- | --- |

94.

Operating leases

| 95. | For items of property, plant and equipment subject to an operating lease, a lessor shall apply the disclosure requirements of IAS 16. In applying the disclosure requirements in IAS 16, a lessor shall disaggregate each class of property, plant and equipment into assets subject to operating leases and assets not subject to operating leases. Accordingly, a lessor shall provide the disclosures required by IAS 16 for assets subject to an operating lease (by class of underlying asset) separately from owned assets held and used by the lessor. |
| --- | --- |

95.

| 96. | A lessor shall apply the disclosure requirements in IAS 36, IAS 38, IAS 40 and IAS 41 for assets subject to operating leases. |
| --- | --- |

96.

| 97. | A lessor shall disclose a maturity analysis of lease payments, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received on an annual basis for a minimum of each of the first five years and a total of the amounts for the remaining years. |
| --- | --- |

97.

SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

| 98. | If an entity (the seller-lessee) transfers an asset to another entity (the buyer-lessor) and leases that asset back from the buyer-lessor, both the seller-lessee and the buyer-lessor shall account for the transfer contract and the lease applying paragraphs 99–103. |
| --- | --- |

98.

Assessing whether the transfer of the asset is a sale

| 99. | An entity shall apply the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset. |
| --- | --- |

99.

Transfer of the asset is a sale

| 100. | If the transfer of an asset by the seller-lessee satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset:






  (a) | the seller-lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. Accordingly, the seller-lessee shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. |

(a)

the seller-lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. Accordingly, the seller-lessee shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor.

| (b) | the buyer-lessor shall account for the purchase of the asset applying applicable Standards, and for the lease applying the lessor accounting requirements in this Standard. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the buyer-lessor shall account for the purchase of the asset applying applicable Standards, and for the lease applying the lessor accounting requirements in this Standard.

| 101. | If the fair value of the consideration for the sale of an asset does not equal the fair value of the asset, or if the payments for the lease are not at market rates, an entity shall make the following adjustments to measure the sale proceeds at fair value:






  (a) | any below-market terms shall be accounted for as a prepayment of lease payments; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

101.

(a)

any below-market terms shall be accounted for as a prepayment of lease payments; and

| --- | --- |

(b)

any above-market terms shall be accounted for as additional financing provided by the buyer-lessor to the seller-lessee.

| 102. | The entity shall measure any potential adjustment required by paragraph 101 on the basis of the more readily determinable of:






  (a) | the difference between the fair value of the consideration for the sale and the fair value of the asset; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

102.

(a)

the difference between the fair value of the consideration for the sale and the fair value of the asset; and

| (b) | the difference between the present value of the contractual payments for the lease and the present value of payments for the lease at market rates. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the difference between the present value of the contractual payments for the lease and the present value of payments for the lease at market rates.

Transfer of the asset is not a sale

| 103. | If the transfer of an asset by the seller-lessee does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset:






  (a) | the seller-lessee shall continue to recognise the transferred asset and shall recognise a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial liability applying IFRS 9. |

Appendix B

Application guidance

This appendix is an integral part of the Standard. It describes the application of paragraphs 1–103 and has the same authority as the other parts of the Standard.

Portfolio application

| B1 | This Standard specifies the accounting for an individual lease. However, as a practical expedient, an entity may apply this Standard to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics if the entity reasonably expects that the effects on the financial statements of applying this Standard to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this Standard to the individual leases within that portfolio. If accounting for a portfolio, an entity shall use estimates and assumptions that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio. |
| --- | --- |

B1

Combination of contracts

| B2 | In applying this Standard, an entity shall combine two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same counterparty (or related parties of the counterparty), and account for the contracts as a single contract if one or more of the following criteria are met:






  (a) | the contracts are negotiated as a package with an overall commercial objective that cannot be understood without considering the contracts together; |
| --- | --- | --- |

B2

(a)

the contracts are negotiated as a package with an overall commercial objective that cannot be understood without considering the contracts together;

| (b) | the amount of consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other contract; or |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the amount of consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other contract; or

| (c) | the rights to use underlying assets conveyed in the contracts (or some rights to use underlying assets conveyed in each of the contracts) form a single lease component as described in paragraph B32. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the rights to use underlying assets conveyed in the contracts (or some rights to use underlying assets conveyed in each of the contracts) form a single lease component as described in paragraph B32.

Recognition exemption: leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (paragraphs 5–8)

| B3 | Except as specified in paragraph B7, this Standard permits a lessee to apply paragraph 6 to account for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee shall assess the value of an underlying asset based on the value of the asset when it is new, regardless of the age of the asset being leased. |
| --- | --- |

B3

| B4 | The assessment of whether an underlying asset is of low value is performed on an absolute basis. Leases of low-value assets qualify for the accounting treatment in paragraph 6 regardless of whether those leases are material to the lessee. The assessment is not affected by the size, nature or circumstances of the lessee. Accordingly, different lessees are expected to reach the same conclusions about whether a particular underlying asset is of low value. |
| --- | --- |

B4

| B5 | An underlying asset can be of low value only if:






  (a) | the lessee can benefit from use of the underlying asset on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the lessee; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

B5

(a)

the lessee can benefit from use of the underlying asset on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the lessee; and

| (b) | the underlying asset is not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with, other assets. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the underlying asset is not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with, other assets.

| B6 | A lease of an underlying asset does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset if the nature of the asset is such that, when new, the asset is typically not of low value. For example, leases of cars would not qualify as leases of low-value assets because a new car would typically not be of low value. |
| --- | --- |

B6

| B7 | If a lessee subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. |
| --- | --- |

B7

| B8 | Examples of low-value underlying assets can include tablet and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones. |
| --- | --- |

B8

Identifying a lease (paragraphs 9–11)

| B9 | To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset (see paragraphs B13–B20) for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both of the following:






  (a) | the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset (as described in paragraphs B21–B23); and |
| --- | --- | --- |

B9

(a)

the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset (as described in paragraphs B21–B23); and

| (b) | the right to direct the use of the identified asset (as described in paragraphs B24–B30). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the right to direct the use of the identified asset (as described in paragraphs B24–B30).

| B10 | If the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for only a portion of the term of the contract, the contract contains a lease for that portion of the term. |
| --- | --- |

B10

| B11 | A contract to receive goods or services may be entered into by a joint arrangement, or on behalf of a joint arrangement, as defined in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. In this case, the joint arrangement is considered to be the customer in the contract. Accordingly, in assessing whether such a contract contains a lease, an entity shall assess whether the joint arrangement has the right to control the use of an identified asset throughout the period of use. |
| --- | --- |

B11

| B12 | An entity shall assess whether a contract contains a lease for each potential separate lease component. Refer to paragraph B32 for guidance on separate lease components. |
| --- | --- |

B12

Identified asset

| B13 | An asset is typically identified by being explicitly specified in a contract. However, an asset can also be identified by being implicitly specified at the time that the asset is made available for use by the customer. |
| --- | --- |

B13

Substantive substitution rights

| B14 | Even if an asset is specified, a customer does not have the right to use an identified asset if the supplier has the substantive right to substitute the asset throughout the period of use. A supplier's right to substitute an asset is substantive only if both of the following conditions exist:






  (a) | the supplier has the practical ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the period of use (for example, the customer cannot prevent the supplier from substituting the asset and alternative assets are readily available to the supplier or could be sourced by the supplier within a reasonable period of time); and |
| --- | --- | --- |

B14

(a)

the supplier has the practical ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the period of use (for example, the customer cannot prevent the supplier from substituting the asset and alternative assets are readily available to the supplier or could be sourced by the supplier within a reasonable period of time); and

| (b) | the supplier would benefit economically from the exercise of its right to substitute the asset (ie the economic benefits associated with substituting the asset are expected to exceed the costs associated with substituting the asset). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the supplier would benefit economically from the exercise of its right to substitute the asset (ie the economic benefits associated with substituting the asset are expected to exceed the costs associated with substituting the asset).

| B15 | If the supplier has a right or an obligation to substitute the asset only on or after either a particular date or the occurrence of a specified event, the supplier's substitution right is not substantive because the supplier does not have the practical ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the period of use. |
| --- | --- |

B15

| B16 | An entity's evaluation of whether a supplier's substitution right is substantive is based on facts and circumstances at inception of the contract and shall exclude consideration of future events that, at inception of the contract, are not considered likely to occur. Examples of future events that, at inception of the contract, would not be considered likely to occur and, thus, should be excluded from the evaluation include:






  (a) | an agreement by a future customer to pay an above market rate for use of the asset; |
| --- | --- | --- |

B16

(a)

an agreement by a future customer to pay an above market rate for use of the asset;

| (b) | the introduction of new technology that is not substantially developed at inception of the contract; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the introduction of new technology that is not substantially developed at inception of the contract;

| (c) | a substantial difference between the customer's use of the asset, or the performance of the asset, and the use or performance considered likely at inception of the contract; and |
| --- | --- |

(c)

a substantial difference between the customer's use of the asset, or the performance of the asset, and the use or performance considered likely at inception of the contract; and

| (d) | a substantial difference between the market price of the asset during the period of use, and the market price considered likely at inception of the contract. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

a substantial difference between the market price of the asset during the period of use, and the market price considered likely at inception of the contract.

| B17 | If the asset is located at the customer's premises or elsewhere, the costs associated with substitution are generally higher than when located at the supplier's premises and, therefore, are more likely to exceed the benefits associated with substituting the asset. |
| --- | --- |

B17

| B18 | The supplier's right or obligation to substitute the asset for repairs and maintenance, if the asset is not operating properly or if a technical upgrade becomes available does not preclude the customer from having the right to use an identified asset. |
| --- | --- |

B18

| B19 | If the customer cannot readily determine whether the supplier has a substantive substitution right, the customer shall presume that any substitution right is not substantive. |
| --- | --- |

B19

Portions of assets

| B20 | A capacity portion of an asset is an identified asset if it is physically distinct (for example, a floor of a building). A capacity or other portion of an asset that is not physically distinct (for example, a capacity portion of a fibre optic cable) is not an identified asset, unless it represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby provides the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset. |
| --- | --- |

B20

Right to obtain economic benefits from use

| B21 | To control the use of an identified asset, a customer is required to have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use (for example, by having exclusive use of the asset throughout that period). A customer can obtain economic benefits from use of an asset directly or indirectlyin many ways, such as by using, holding or sub-leasing the asset. The economic benefits from use of an asset include its primary output and by-products (including potential cash flows derived from these items), and other economic benefits from using the asset that could be realised from a commercial transaction with a third party. |
| --- | --- |

B21

| B22 | When assessing the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of an asset, an entity shall consider the economic benefits that result from use of the asset within the defined scope of a customer's right to use the asset (see paragraph B30). For example:






  (a) | if a contract limits the use of a motor vehicle to only one particular territory during the period of use, an entity shall consider only the economic benefits from use of the motor vehicle within that territory, and not beyond. |
| --- | --- | --- |

B22

(a)

if a contract limits the use of a motor vehicle to only one particular territory during the period of use, an entity shall consider only the economic benefits from use of the motor vehicle within that territory, and not beyond.

| (b) | if a contract specifies that a customer can drive a motor vehicle only up to a particular number of miles during the period of use, an entity shall consider only the economic benefits from use of the motor vehicle for the permitted mileage, and not beyond. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

if a contract specifies that a customer can drive a motor vehicle only up to a particular number of miles during the period of use, an entity shall consider only the economic benefits from use of the motor vehicle for the permitted mileage, and not beyond.

| B23 | If a contract requires a customer to pay the supplier or another party a portion of the cash flows derived from use of an asset as consideration, those cash flows paid as consideration shall be considered to be part of the economic benefits that the customer obtains from use of the asset. For example, if the customer is required to pay the supplier a percentage of sales from use of retail space as consideration for that use, that requirement does not prevent the customer from having the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the retail space. This is because the cash flows arising from those sales are considered to be economic benefits that the customer obtains from use of the retail space, a portion of which it then pays to the supplier as consideration for the right to use that space. |
| --- | --- |

B23

Right to direct the use

| B24 | A customer has the right to direct the use of an identified asset throughout the period of use only if either:






  (a) | the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use (as described in paragraphs B25–B30); or |
| --- | --- | --- |

B24

(a)

the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use (as described in paragraphs B25–B30); or

| (b) | the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:






  (i) | the customer has the right to operate the asset (or to direct others to operate the asset in a manner that it determines) throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

(i)

the customer has the right to operate the asset (or to direct others to operate the asset in a manner that it determines) throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

| (ii) | the customer designed the asset (or specific aspects of the asset) in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose the asset will be used throughout the period of use. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

the customer designed the asset (or specific aspects of the asset) in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose the asset will be used throughout the period of use.

How and for what purpose the asset is used

| B25 | A customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used if, within the scope of its right of use defined in the contract, it can change how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use. In making this assessment, an entity considers the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use. Decision-making rights are relevant when they affect the economic benefits to be derived from use. The decision-making rights that are most relevant are likely to be different for different contracts, depending on the nature of the asset and the terms and conditions of the contract. |
| --- | --- |

B25

| B26 | Examples of decision-making rights that, depending on the circumstances, grant the right to change how and for what purpose the asset is used, within the defined scope of the customer's right of use, include:






  (a) | rights to change the type of output that is produced by the asset (for example, to decide whether to use a shipping container to transport goods or for storage, or to decide upon the mix of products sold from retail space); |
| --- | --- | --- |

B26

(a)

rights to change the type of output that is produced by the asset (for example, to decide whether to use a shipping container to transport goods or for storage, or to decide upon the mix of products sold from retail space);

| (b) | rights to change when the output is produced (for example, to decide when an item of machinery or a power plant will be used); |
| --- | --- |

(b)

rights to change when the output is produced (for example, to decide when an item of machinery or a power plant will be used);

| (c) | rights to change where the output is produced (for example, to decide upon the destination of a truck or a ship, or to decide where an item of equipment is used); and |
| --- | --- |

(c)

rights to change where the output is produced (for example, to decide upon the destination of a truck or a ship, or to decide where an item of equipment is used); and

| (d) | rights to change whether the output is produced, and the quantity of that output (for example, to decide whether to produce energy from a power plant and how much energy to produce from that power plant). |
| --- | --- |

(d)

rights to change whether the output is produced, and the quantity of that output (for example, to decide whether to produce energy from a power plant and how much energy to produce from that power plant).

| B27 | Examples of decision-making rights that do not grant the right to change how and for what purpose the asset is used include rights that are limited to operating or maintaining the asset. Such rights can be held by the customer or the supplier. Although rights such as those to operate or maintain an asset are often essential to the efficient use of an asset, they are not rights to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used and are often dependent on the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used. However, rights to operate an asset may grant the customer the right to direct the use of the asset if the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined (see paragraph B24(b)(i)). |
| --- | --- |

B27

Decisions determined during and before the period of use

| B28 | The relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used can be predetermined in a number of ways. For example, the relevant decisions can be predetermined by the design of the asset or by contractual restrictions on the use of the asset. |
| --- | --- |

B28

| B29 | In assessing whether a customer has the right to direct the use of an asset, an entity shall consider only rights to make decisions about the use of the asset during the period of use, unless the customer designed the asset (or specific aspects of the asset) as described in paragraph B24(b)(ii). Consequently, unless the conditions in paragraph B24(b)(ii) exist, an entity shall not consider decisions that are predetermined before the period of use. For example, if a customer is able only to specify the output of an asset before the period of use, the customer does not have the right to direct the use of that asset. The ability to specify the output in a contract before the period of use, without any other decision-making rights relating to the use of the asset, gives a customer the same rights as any customer that purchases goods or services. |
| --- | --- |

B29

Protective rights

| B30 | A contract may include terms and conditions designed to protect the supplier's interest in the asset or other assets, to protect its personnel, or to ensure the supplier's compliance with laws or regulations. These are examples of protective rights. For example, a contract may (i) specify the maximum amount of use of an asset or limit where or when the customer can use the asset, (ii) require a customer to follow particular operating practices, or (iii) require a customer to inform the supplier of changes in how an asset will be used. Protective rights typically define the scope of the customer's right of use but do not, in isolation, prevent the customer from having the right to direct the use of an asset. |

Separating components of a contract (paragraphs 12–17)

Separating components of a contract (paragraphs 12–17)

| B32 | The right to use an underlying asset is a separate lease component if both:






  (a) | the lessee can benefit from use of the underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the lessee. Readily available resources are goods or services that are sold or leased separately (by the lessor or other suppliers) or resources that the lessee has already obtained (from the lessor or from other transactions or events); and |

If the lessee controls (or obtains control of) the underlying asset before that asset is transferred to the lessor, the transaction is a sale and leaseback transaction that is accounted for applying paragraphs 98–103.

| B47 | However, if the lessee does not obtain control of the underlying asset before the asset is transferred to the lessor, the transaction is not a sale and leaseback transaction. For example, this may be the case if a manufacturer, a lessor and a lessee negotiate a transaction for the purchase of an asset from the manufacturer by the lessor, which is in turn leased to the lessee. The lessee may obtain legal title to the underlying asset before legal title transfers to the lessor. In this case, if the lessee obtains legal title to the underlying asset but does not obtain control of the asset before it is transferred to the lessor, the transaction is not accounted for as a sale and leaseback transaction, but as a lease. |

However, if the lessee does not obtain control of the underlying asset before the asset is transferred to the lessor, the transaction is not a sale and leaseback transaction. For example, this may be the case if a manufacturer, a lessor and a lessee negotiate a transaction for the purchase of an asset from the manufacturer by the lessor, which is in turn leased to the lessee. The lessee may obtain legal title to the underlying asset before legal title transfers to the lessor. In this case, if the lessee obtains legal title to the underlying asset but does not obtain control of the asset before it is transferred to the lessor, the transaction is not accounted for as a sale and leaseback transaction, but as a lease.

Lessor lease classification (paragraphs 61–66)

Lessor lease classification (paragraphs 61–66)

| B53 | The classification of leases for lessors in this Standard is based on the extent to which the lease transfers the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Risks include the possibilities of losses from idle capacity or technological obsolescence and of variations in return because of changing economic conditions. Rewards may be represented by the expectation of profitable operation over the underlying asset's economic life and of gain from appreciation in value or realisation of a residual value. |

Rewards may be represented by the expectation of profitable operation over the underlying asset's economic life and of gain from appreciation in value or realisation of a residual value.

| B54 | A lease contract may include terms and conditions to adjust the lease payments for particular changes that occur between the inception date and the commencement date (such as a change in the lessor's cost of the underlying asset or a change in the lessor's cost of financing the lease). In that case, for the purposes of classifying the lease, the effect of any such changes shall be deemed to have taken place at the inception date. |

A lease contract may include terms and conditions to adjust the lease payments for particular changes that occur between the inception date and the commencement date (such as a change in the lessor's cost of the underlying asset or a change in the lessor's cost of financing the lease). In that case, for the purposes of classifying the lease, the effect of any such changes shall be deemed to have taken place at the inception date.

| B55 | When a lease includes both land and buildings elements, a lessor shall assess the classification of each element as a finance lease or an operating lease separately applying paragraphs 62–66 and B53–B54. In determining whether the land element is an operating lease or a finance lease, an important consideration is that land normally has an indefinite economic life. |

B55

When a lease includes both land and buildings elements, a lessor shall assess the classification of each element as a finance lease or an operating lease separately applying paragraphs 62–66 and B53–B54. In determining whether the land element is an operating lease or a finance lease, an important consideration is that land normally has an indefinite economic life.

| B56 | Whenever necessary in order to classify and account for a lease of land and buildings, a lessor shall allocate lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) between the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and buildings element of the lease at the inception date. If the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between these two elements, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases, in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease. |

In such a case, a lessor shall regard the economic life of the buildings as the economic life of the entire underlying asset.

Sublease classification

Sublease classification

| B58 | In classifying a sublease, an intermediate lessor shall classify the sublease as a finance lease or an operating lease as follows:






  (a) | if the head lease is a short-term lease that the entity, as a lessee, has accounted for applying paragraph 6, the sublease shall be classified as an operating lease. |
| --- | --- | --- |

B58

In classifying a sublease, an intermediate lessor shall classify the sublease as a finance lease or an operating lease as follows:

(a)

if the head lease is a short-term lease that the entity, as a lessee, has accounted for applying paragraph 6, the sublease shall be classified as an operating lease.

| (b) | otherwise, the sublease shall be classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset (for example, the item of property, plant or equipment that is the subject of the lease). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

otherwise, the sublease shall be classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset (for example, the item of property, plant or equipment that is the subject of the lease).

Appendix C

Effective date and transition

This appendix is an integral part of the Standard and has the same authority as the other parts of the Standard.

EFFECTIVE DATE

| C1 | An entity shall apply this Standard for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

Definition of a lease

| C3 | As a practical expedient, an entity is not required to reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, the entity is permitted:






  (a) | to apply this Standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The entity shall apply the transition requirements in paragraphs C5–C18 to those leases. |
| --- | --- | --- |

C3

(a)

to apply this Standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The entity shall apply the transition requirements in paragraphs C5–C18 to those leases.

| --- | --- |

C6

| C7 | If a lessee elects to apply this Standard in accordance with paragraph C5(b), the lessee shall not restate comparative information. Instead, the lessee shall recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the date of initial application. |

C7

Leases previously classified as operating leases

| C8 | If a lessee elects to apply this Standard in accordance with paragraph C5(b), the lessee shall:






  (a) | recognise a lease liability at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as an operating lease applying IAS 17.

The lessee shall measure that lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

| (b) | recognise a right-of-use asset at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as an operating lease applying IAS 17. The lessee shall choose, on a lease-by-lease basis, to measure that right-of-use asset at either:






  (i) | its carrying amount as if the Standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

recognise a right-of-use asset at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as an operating lease applying IAS 17. The lessee shall choose, on a lease-by-lease basis, to measure that right-of-use asset at either:

| --- | --- |

(ii)

an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application.

Appendix D

Amendments to other Standards

This appendix sets out the amendments to other Standards that are a consequence of the IASB issuing this Standard. An entity shall apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. If an entity applies this Standard for an earlier period, it shall also apply these amendments for that earlier period.

An entity is not permitted to apply IFRS 16 before applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (see paragraph C1).

Consequently, for Standards that were effective on 1 January 2016, the amendments in this appendix are presented based on the text of those Standards that was effective on 1 January 2016, as amended by IFRS 15. The text of those Standards in this appendix does not include any other amendments that were not effective at 1 January 2016.

For Standards that were not effective on 1 January 2016, the amendments in this appendix are presented based on the text of the initial publication of that Standard, as amended by IFRS 15. The text of those Standards in this appendix does not include any other amendments that were not effective at 1 January 2016.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

Paragraph 30 is amended and paragraph 39AB is added.

Use of fair value as deemed cost

| 30. | If an entity uses fair value in its opening IFRS statement of financial position as deemed cost for an item of property, plant and equipment, an investment property, an intangible asset or a right-of-use asset (see paragraphs D5 and D7), the entity's first IFRS financial statements shall disclose, for each line item in the opening IFRS statement of financial position:

EFFECTIVE DATE

...

| 39AB | IFRS 16 Leases, issued in January 2016, amended paragraphs 30, C4, D1, D7, D8B and D9, deleted paragraph D9A and added paragraphs D9B–D9E. An entity shall apply those amendments when it applies IFRS 16. |
| --- | --- |

39AB

Paragraph C4 is amended.

Exemptions for business combinations

  (a) | ... |
| --- | --- | --- |

C4

(a)

...

| (f) | If an asset acquired, or liability assumed, in a past business combination was not recognised in accordance with previous GAAP, it does not have a deemed cost of zero in the opening IFRS statement of financial position. Instead, the acquirer shall recognise and measure it in its consolidated statement of financial position on the basis that IFRSs would require in the statement of financial position of the acquiree. To illustrate: if the acquirer had not, in accordance with its previous GAAP, capitalised leases acquired in a past business combination in which the acquiree was a lessee, it shall capitalise those leases in its consolidated financial statements, as IFRS 16 Leases would require the acquiree to do in its IFRS statementof financial position. Similarly, if the acquirer had not, in accordance with its previous GAAP, recognised a contingent liability that still exists at the date of transition to IFRSs, the acquirer shall recognise that contingent liability at that date unless IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets would prohibit its recognition in the financial statements of the acquiree. Conversely, if an asset or liability was subsumed in goodwill in accordance with previous GAAP but would have been recognised separately under IFRS 3, that asset or liability remains in goodwill unless IFRSs would require its recognition in the financial statements of the acquiree. |
| --- | --- |

(f)

If an asset acquired, or liability assumed, in a past business combination was not recognised in accordance with previous GAAP, it does not have a deemed cost of zero in the opening IFRS statement of financial position. Instead, the acquirer shall recognise and measure it in its consolidated statement of financial position on the basis that IFRSs would require in the statement of financial position of the acquiree. To illustrate: if the acquirer had not, in accordance with its previous GAAP, capitalised leases acquired in a past business combination in which the acquiree was a lessee, it shall capitalise those leases in its consolidated financial statements, as IFRS 16 Leases would require the acquiree to do in its IFRS statementof financial position. Similarly, if the acquirer had not, in accordance with its previous GAAP, recognised a contingent liability that still exists at the date of transition to IFRSs, the acquirer shall recognise that contingent liability at that date unless IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets would prohibit its recognition in the financial statements of the acquiree. Conversely, if an asset or liability was subsumed in goodwill in accordance with previous GAAP but would have been recognised separately under IFRS 3, that asset or liability remains in goodwill unless IFRSs would require its recognition in the financial statements of the acquiree.

| D8B | Some entities hold items of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets or intangible assets that are used, or were previously used, in operations subject to rate regulation. The carrying amount of such items might include amounts that were determined under previous GAAP but do not qualify for capitalisation in accordance with IFRSs. If this is the case, a first-time adopter may elect to use the previous GAAP carrying amount of such an item at the date of transition to IFRSs as deemed cost. If an entity applies this exemption to an item, it need not apply it to all items. At the date of transition to IFRSs, an entity shall test for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 each item for which this exemption is used. For the purposes of this paragraph, operations are subject to rate regulation if they are governed by a framework for establishing the prices that can be charged to customers for goods or services and that framework is subject to oversight and/or approval by a rate regulator (as defined in IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts). |
| --- | --- |

D8B

Leases

| D9 | A first-time adopter may assess whether a contract existing at the date of transition to IFRSs contains a lease by applying paragraphs 9–11 of IFRS 16 to those contracts on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at that date. |

D9A

| D9B | When a first-time adopter that is a lessee recognises lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, it may apply the following approach to all of its leases (subject to the practical expedients described in paragraph D9D):






  (a) | measure a lease liability at the date of transition to IFRSs. A lessee following this approach shall measure that lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (see paragraph D9E), discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate (see paragraph D9E) at the date of transition to IFRSs. |
| --- | --- | --- |

D9B

(a)

measure a lease liability at the date of transition to IFRSs. A lessee following this approach shall measure that lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (see paragraph D9E), discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate (see paragraph D9E) at the date of transition to IFRSs.

| (b) | measure a right-of-use asset at the date of transition to IFRSs. The lessee shall choose, on a lease-by-lease basis, to measure that right-of-use asset at either:






  (i) | its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease (see paragraph D9E), but discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of transition to IFRSs; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

measure a right-of-use asset at the date of transition to IFRSs. The lessee shall choose, on a lease-by-lease basis, to measure that right-of-use asset at either:

(i)

its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease (see paragraph D9E), but discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of transition to IFRSs; or

| (ii) | an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of transition to IFRSs. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of transition to IFRSs.

| (c) | apply IAS 36 to right-of-use assets at the date of transition to IFRSs. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

apply IAS 36 to right-of-use assets at the date of transition to IFRSs.

| D9C | Notwithstanding the requirements in paragraph D9B, a first-time adopter that is a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at fair value at the date of transition to IFRSs for leases that meet the definition of investment property in IAS 40 and are measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 from the date of transition to IFRSs. |
| --- | --- |

D9C

| D9D | A first-time adopter that is a lessee may do one or more of the following at the date of transition to IFRSs, applied on a lease-by-lease basis:






  (a) | apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (for example, a similar remaining lease term for a similar class of underlying asset in a similar economic environment). |
| --- | --- | --- |

D9D

(a)

apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (for example, a similar remaining lease term for a similar class of underlying asset in a similar economic environment).

| (b) | elect not to apply the requirements in paragraph D9B to leases for which the lease term (see paragraph D9E) ends within 12 months of the date of transition to IFRSs. Instead, the entity shall account for (including disclosure of information about) these leases as if they were short-term leases accounted for in accordance with paragraph 6 of IFRS 16. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

elect not to apply the requirements in paragraph D9B to leases for which the lease term (see paragraph D9E) ends within 12 months of the date of transition to IFRSs. Instead, the entity shall account for (including disclosure of information about) these leases as if they were short-term leases accounted for in accordance with paragraph 6 of IFRS 16.

| (c) | elect not to apply the requirements in paragraph D9B to leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (as described in paragraphs B3-B8 of IFRS 16).

| --- | --- |

(c)

elect not to apply the requirements in paragraph D9B to leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (as described in paragraphs B3-B8 of IFRS 16). Instead, the entity shall account for (including disclosure of information about) these leases in accordance with paragraph 6 of IFRS 16.

| (d) | exclude initial direct costs (see paragraph D9E) from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of transition to IFRSs. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

exclude initial direct costs (see paragraph D9E) from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of transition to IFRSs.

Leases in which the acquiree is the lessee

| 28A | The acquirer shall recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases identified in accordance with IFRS 16 in which the acquiree is the lessee. The acquirer is not required to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for:






  (a) | leases for which the lease term (as defined in IFRS 16) ends within 12 months of the acquisition date; or |

| --- | --- |

(b)

leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (as described in paragraphs B3–B8 of IFRS 16).

| 28B | The acquirer shall measure the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16) as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The acquirer shall measure the right-of-use asset at the same amount as the lease liability, adjusted to reflect favourable or unfavourable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. |

In Appendix B, paragraphs B66 and B70 are amended.

A forward or a call option

| B66 | If an entity has an obligation or a right to repurchase the asset (a forward or a call option), a customer does not obtain control of the asset because the customer is limited in its ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset even though the customer may have physical possession of the asset. Consequently, the entity shall account for the contract as either of the following:






  (a) | a lease in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases if the entity can or must repurchase the asset for an amount that is less than the original selling price of the asset, unless the contract is part of a sale and leaseback transaction. If the contract is part of a sale and leaseback transaction, the entity shall continue to recognise the asset and shall recognise a financial liability for any consideration received from the customer. The entity shall account for the financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

A put option

| B70 | If an entity has an obligation to repurchase the asset at the customer's request (a put option) at a price that is lower than the original selling price of the asset, the entity shall consider at contract inception whether the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise that right. The customer's exercising of that right results in the customer effectively paying the entity consideration for the right to use a specified asset for a period of time. Therefore, if the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, the entity shall account for the agreement as a lease in accordance with IFRS 16, unless the contract is part of a sale and leaseback transaction. If the contract is part of a sale and leaseback transaction, the entity shall continue to recognise the asset and shall recognise a financial liability for any consideration received from the customer. The entity shall account for the financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9.

Costs of conversion

They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods. Fixed production overheads are those indirect costs of production that remain relatively constant regardless of the volume of production, such as depreciation and maintenance of factory buildings, and equipment and right-of-use assets used in the production process, and the cost of factory management and administration. Variable production overheads are those indirect costs of production that vary directly, or nearly directly, with the volume of production, such as indirect materials and indirect labour.

Paragraphs 17 and 44 are amended and paragraph 59 is added.

The exclusion of non-cash transactions from the statement of cash flows is consistent with the objective of a statement of cash flows as these items do not involve cash flows in the current period.

IAS 12 Income Taxes

Paragraph 20 is amended for an entity that has not adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Assets carried at fair value

| 20. | IFRSs permit or require certain assets to be carried at fair value or to be revalued (see, for example, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 38 Intangible Assets, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IAS 40 Investment Property and IFRS 16 Leases). In some jurisdictions, the revaluation or other restatement of an asset to fair value affects taxable profit (tax loss) for the current period. As a result, the tax base of the asset is adjusted and no temporary difference arises. In other jurisdictions, the revaluation or restatement of an asset does not affect taxable profit in the period of the revaluation or restatement and, consequently, the tax base of the asset is not adjusted. Nevertheless, the future recovery of the carrying amount will result in a taxable flow of economic benefits to the entity and the amount that will be deductible for tax purposes will differ from the amount of those economic benefits. The difference between the carrying amount of a revalued asset and its tax base is a temporary difference and gives rise to a deferred tax liability or asset. This is true even if:

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment may include costs incurred relating to leases of assets that are used to construct, add to, replace part of or service an item of property, plant and equipment, such as depreciation of right-of-use assets. |

IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

Paragraph 16 is amended and paragraph 60K is added.

Monetary items

Examples include: pensions and other employee benefits to be paidin cash; provisions that are to be settled in cash; lease liabilities; and cash dividends that are recognised as a liability. Similarly, a contract to receive (or deliver) a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments or a variable amount of assets in which the fair value to be received (or delivered) equals a fixed or determinable number of units of currency is a monetary item. Conversely, the essential feature of a non-monetary item is the absence of a right to receive (or an obligation to deliver) a fixed or determinable number of units of currency. Examples include: amounts prepaid for goods and services; goodwill; intangible assets; inventories; property, plant and equipment; right-of-use assets; and provisions that are to be settled by the delivery of a non-monetary asset. |

In the Application Guidance, paragraphs AG9 and AG10 are amended.

Financial assets and financial liabilities

...

| AG9 | A lease typically creates an entitlement of the lessor to receive, and an obligation of the lessee to pay, a stream of payments that are substantially the same as blended payments of principal and interest under a loan agreement. The lessor accounts for its investment in the amount receivable under a finance lease rather than the underlying asset itself that is subject to the finance lease. Accordingly, a lessor regards a finance lease as a financial instrument. Under IFRS 16, a lessor does not recognise its entitlement to receive lease paymentsunder an operating lease. The lessor continues to account for the underlying asset itself rather than any amount receivable in the future under the contract. Accordingly, a lessor does not regard an operating lease as a financial instrument, except as regards individual payments currently due and payable by the lessee. |
| --- | --- |

AG9

| AG10 | Physical assets (such as inventories, property, plant and equipment), right-of-use assets and intangible assets (such as patents and trademarks) are not financial assets. Control of such physical assets, right-of-use assets and intangible assets creates an opportunity to generate an inflow of cash or another financial asset, but it does not give rise to a present right to receive cash or another financial asset.

It shall be recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised (unless IFRS 16 requires otherwise on a sale and leaseback.) Gains shall not be classified as revenue. |
| --- | --- |

113.

| 114. | The disposal of an intangible asset may occur in a variety of ways (eg by sale, by entering into a finance lease, or by donation). The date of disposal of an intangible asset is the date that the recipient obtains control of that asset in accordance with the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 16 applies to disposal by a sale and leaseback. |

ISSUE

...

| 5. | Certain aspects and disclosures relating to some service concession arrangements are already addressed by existing International Financial Reporting Standards (eg IAS 16 applies to acquisitions of items of property, plant and equipment, IFRS 16 applies to leases of assets, and IAS 38 applies to acquisitions of intangible assets). However, a service concession arrangement may involve executory contracts that are not addressed in International Financial Reporting Standards, unless the contracts are onerous, in which case IAS 37 applies. Therefore, this Interpretation addresses additional disclosures of service concession arrangements. |

5.

Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in the statement of financial position.

| | Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the specific requirements of other IFRSs, eg IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. |
| --- | --- |

Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the specific requirements of other IFRSs, eg IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.

| | Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. (See IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement). |
| --- | --- |

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. (See IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement).

| | Investment property is property (land or a building—or part of a building—or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee as a right-of-use asset) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:








  (a) | use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

Investment property is property (land or a building—or part of a building—or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee as a right-of-use asset) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:

(a)

use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or

| (b) | sale in the ordinary course of business. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

sale in the ordinary course of business.

| | Owner-occupied property is property held (by the owner or by the lessee as a right-of-use asset) for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. |
| --- | --- |

Owner-occupied property is property held (by the owner or by the lessee as a right-of-use asset) for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY AS INVESTMENT PROPERTY OR OWNER-OCCUPIED PROPERTY

| 6. | [Deleted] |
| --- | --- |

6.

| 7. | Investment property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, an investment property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. This distinguishes investment property from owner-occupied property. The production or supply of goods or services (or the use of property for administrative purposes) generates cash flows that are attributable not only to property, but also to other assets used in the production or supply process. IAS 16 applies to owned owner-occupied property and IFRS 16 applies to owner-occupied property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | The following are examples of investment property:






  (a) | land held for long-term capital appreciation rather than for short-term sale in the ordinary course of business. |
| --- | --- | --- |

8.

(a)

land held for long-term capital appreciation rather than for short-term sale in the ordinary course of business.

| (b) | land held for a currently undetermined future use. (If an entity has not determined that it will use the land as owner-occupied property or for short-term sale in the ordinary course of business, the land is regarded as held for capital appreciation.) |
| --- | --- |

(b)

land held for a currently undetermined future use. (If an entity has not determined that it will use the land as owner-occupied property or for short-term sale in the ordinary course of business, the land is regarded as held for capital appreciation.)

| (c) | a building owned by the entity (or a right-of-use asset relating to a building held by the entity) and leased out under one or more operating leases. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

a building owned by the entity (or a right-of-use asset relating to a building held by the entity) and leased out under one or more operating leases.

| (d) | a building that is vacant but is held to be leased out under one or more operating leases. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

a building that is vacant but is held to be leased out under one or more operating leases.

| (e) | property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. |
| --- | --- |

(e)

property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property.

| 9. | The following are examples of items that are not investment property and are therefore outside the scope of this Standard:






  (a) | property intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction or development for such sale (see IAS 2 Inventories), for example, property acquired exclusively with a view to subsequent disposal in the near future or for development and resale. |
| --- | --- | --- |

9.

(a)

property intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction or development for such sale (see IAS 2 Inventories), for example, property acquired exclusively with a view to subsequent disposal in the near future or for development and resale.

| (b) | [deleted] |
| --- | --- |

(b)

[deleted]

| (c) | owner-occupied property (see IAS 16 and IFRS 16), including (among other things) property held for future use as owner-occupied property, property held for future development and subsequent use as owner-occupied property, property occupied by employees (whether or not the employees pay rent at market rates) and owner-occupied property awaiting disposal. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

owner-occupied property (see IAS 16 and IFRS 16), including (among other things) property held for future use as owner-occupied property, property held for future development and subsequent use as owner-occupied property, property occupied by employees (whether or not the employees pay rent at market rates) and owner-occupied property awaiting disposal.

| (d) | [deleted] |
| --- | --- |

(d)

[deleted]

| (e) | property that is leased to another entity under a finance lease. |
| --- | --- |

(e)

property that is leased to another entity under a finance lease.

| 10. | Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), an entity accounts for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. |
| --- | --- |

10.

| 11. | In some cases, an entity provides ancillary services to the occupants of a property it holds. An entity treats such a property as investment property if the services are insignificant to the arrangement as a whole. An example is when the owner of an office building provides security and maintenance services to the lessees who occupy the building. |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | In other cases, the services provided are significant. For example, if an entity owns and manages a hotel, services provided to guests are significant to the arrangement as a whole. Therefore, an owner-managed hotel is owner-occupied property, rather than investment property. |
| --- | --- |

12.

| 13. | It may be difficult to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property. For example, the owner of a hotel sometimes transfers some responsibilities to third parties under a management contract. The terms of such contracts vary widely. At one end of the spectrum, the owner's position may, in substance, be that of a passive investor. At the other end of the spectrum, the owner may simply have outsourced day-to-day functions while retaining significant exposure to variation in the cash flows generated by the operations of the hotel. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Judgement is needed to determine whether a property qualifies as investment property. An entity develops criteria so that it can exercise that judgement consistently in accordance with the definition of investment property and with the related guidance in paragraphs 7–13. Paragraph 75(c) requires an entity to disclose these criteria when classification is difficult. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 14A | Judgement is also needed to determine whether the acquisition of investment property is the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets or a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Reference should be made to IFRS 3 to determine whether it is a business combination. The discussion in paragraphs 7–14 of this Standard relates to whether or not property is owner-occupied property or investment property and not to determining whether or not the acquisition of property is a business combination as defined in IFRS 3. Determining whether a specific transaction meets the definition of a business combination as defined in IFRS 3 and includes an investment property as defined in this Standard requires the separate application of both Standards. |
| --- | --- |

14A

| 15. | In some cases, an entity owns property that is leased to, and occupied by, its parent or another subsidiary. The property does not qualify as investment property in the consolidated financial statements, because the property is owner-occupied from the perspective of the group. However, from the perspective of the entity that owns it, the property is investment property if it meets the definition in paragraph 5. Therefore, the lessor treats the property as investment property in its individual financial statements. |
| --- | --- |

15.

RECOGNITION

| 16. | An owned investment property shall be recognised as an asset when, and only when:








  (a) | it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the entity; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

16.

(a)

it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the entity; and

| (b) | the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably.

| 17. | An entity evaluates under this recognition principle all its investment property costs at the time they are incurred. These costs include costs incurred initially to acquire an investment property and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service a property. |
| --- | --- |

17.

| 18. | Under the recognition principle in paragraph 16, an entity does not recognise in the carrying amount of an investment property the costs of the day-to-day servicing of such a property. Rather, these costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Costs of day-to-day servicing are primarily the cost of labour and consumables, and may include the cost of minor parts. The purpose of these expenditures is often described as for the ‘repairs and maintenance’ of the property. |
| --- | --- |

18.

| 19. | Parts of investment properties may have been acquired through replacement. For example, the interior walls may be replacements of original walls. Under the recognition principle, an entity recognises in the carrying amount of an investment property the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised in accordance with the derecognition provisions of this Standard. |
| --- | --- |

19.

| 19A | An investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset shall be recognised in accordance with IFRS 16. |
| --- | --- |

19A

MEASUREMENT AT RECOGNITION

| 20. | An owned investment property shall be measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial measurement. |
| --- | --- |

20.

| 21. | The cost of a purchased investment property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Directly attributable expenditure includes, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs. |
| --- | --- |

21.

| 22. | [Deleted] |
| --- | --- |

22.

| 23. | The cost of an investment property is not increased by:






  (a) | start-up costs (unless they are necessary to bring the property to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management), |
| --- | --- | --- |

23.

(a)

start-up costs (unless they are necessary to bring the property to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management),

| (b) | operating losses incurred before the investment property achieves the planned level of occupancy, or |
| --- | --- |

(b)

operating losses incurred before the investment property achieves the planned level of occupancy, or

| (c) | abnormal amounts of wasted material, labour or other resources incurred in constructing or developing the property. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

abnormal amounts of wasted material, labour or other resources incurred in constructing or developing the property.

| 24. | If payment for an investment property is deferred, its cost is the cash price equivalent. The difference between this amount and the total payments is recognised as interest expense over the period of credit. |

26.

| 27. | One or more investment properties may be acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset or assets, or a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets. The following discussion refers to an exchange of one non-monetary asset for another, but it also applies to all exchanges described in the preceding sentence. The cost of such an investment property is measured at fair value unless (a) the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. The acquired asset is measured in this way even if an entity cannot immediately derecognise the asset given up. If the acquired asset is not measured at fair value, its cost is measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up. |
| --- | --- |

27.

| 28. | An entity determines whether an exchange transaction has commercial substance by considering the extent to which its future cash flows are expected to change as a result of the transaction. An exchange transaction has commercial substance if:






  (a) | the configuration (risk, timing and amount) of the cash flows of the asset received differs from the configuration of the cash flows of the asset transferred, or |
| --- | --- | --- |

28.

(a)

the configuration (risk, timing and amount) of the cash flows of the asset received differs from the configuration of the cash flows of the asset transferred, or

| (b) | the entity-specific value of the portion of the entity's operations affected by the transaction changes as a result of the exchange, and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the entity-specific value of the portion of the entity's operations affected by the transaction changes as a result of the exchange, and

| (c) | the difference in (a) or (b) is significant relative to the fair value of the assets exchanged. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the difference in (a) or (b) is significant relative to the fair value of the assets exchanged.

For the purpose of determining whether an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the entity-specific value of the portion of the entity's operations affected by the transaction shall reflect post-tax cash flows. The result of these analyses may be clear without an entity having to perform detailed calculations.

| 29. | The fair value of an asset is reliably measurable if (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair value measurements is not significant for that asset or (b) the probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and used when measuring fair value. If the entity is able to measure reliably the fair value of either the asset received or the asset given up, then the fair value of the asset given up is used to measure cost unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident. |
| --- | --- |

29.

| 29A | An investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset shall be measured initially at its cost in accordance with IFRS 16. |
| --- | --- |

29A

MEASUREMENT AFTER RECOGNITION

Accounting policy

| 30. | With the exceptions noted in paragraphs 32A, an entity shall choose as its accounting policy either the fair value model in paragraphs 33–55 or the cost model in paragraph 56 and shall apply that policy to all of its investment property. |
| --- | --- |

30.

| 31. | IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors states that a voluntary change in accounting policy shall be made only if the change results in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevantinformation about the effects of transactions, other events or conditions on the entity's financial position, financial performance or cash flows. It is highly unlikely that a change from the fair value model to the cost model will result in a more relevant presentation. |

| 32. | This Standard requires all entities to measure the fair value of investment property, for the purpose of either measurement (if the entity uses the fair value model) or disclosure (if it uses the cost model). An entity is encouraged, but not required, to measure the fair value of investment property on the basis of a valuation by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. |
| --- | --- |

32.

| 32A | An entity may:








  (a) | choose either the fair value model or the cost model for all investment property backing liabilities that pay a return linked directly to the fair value of, or returns from, specified assets including that investment property; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

32A

(a)

choose either the fair value model or the cost model for all investment property backing liabilities that pay a return linked directly to the fair value of, or returns from, specified assets including that investment property; and

| (b) | choose either the fair value model or the cost model for all other investment property, regardless of the choice made in (a). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

choose either the fair value model or the cost model for all other investment property, regardless of the choice made in (a).

| 32B | Some insurers and other entities operate an internal property fund that issues notional units, with some units held by investors in linked contracts and others held by the entity. Paragraph 32A does not permit an entity to measure the property held by the fund partly at cost and partly at fair value. |
| --- | --- |

32B

| 32C | If an entity chooses different models for the two categories described in paragraph 32A, sales of investment property between pools of assets measured using different models shall be recognised at fair value and the cumulative change in fair value shall be recognised in profit or loss. Accordingly, if an investment property is sold from a pool in which the fair value model is used into a pool in which the cost model is used, the property's fair value at the date of the sale becomes its deemed cost. |
| --- | --- |

32C

Fair value model

| 33. | After initial recognition, an entity that chooses the fair value model shall measure all of its investment property at fair value, except in the cases described in paragraph 53. |

36–39.

| 40. | When measuring the fair value of investment property in accordance with IFRS 13, an entity shall ensure that the fair value reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and other assumptions that market participants would use when pricing investment property under current market conditions. |
| --- | --- |

40.

| 40A | When a lessee uses the fair value model to measure an investment property that is held as a right-of-use asset, it shall measure the right-of-use asset, and not the underlying property, at fair value. |
| --- | --- |

40A

| 41. | IFRS 16 specifies the basis for initial recognition of the cost of an investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset. Paragraph 33 requires investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset to be remeasured, if necessary, to fair value if the entity chooses the fair value model. When lease payments are atmarket rates, the fair value of an investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset at acquisition, net of all expected lease payments (including those relating to recognised lease liabilities), should be zero. Thus, remeasuring a right-of-use asset from cost in accordance with IFRS 16 to fair value in accordance with paragraph 33 (taking into account the requirements in paragraph 50) should not give rise to any initial gain or loss, unless fair value is measured at different times. This could occur when an election to apply the fair value model is made after initial recognition. |

42–47.

| 48. | In exceptional cases, there is clear evidence when an entity first acquires an investment property (or when an existing property first becomes investment property after a change in use) that the variability in the range of reasonable fair value measurements will be so great, and the probabilities of the various outcomes so difficult to assess, that the usefulness of a single measure of fair value is negated. This may indicate that the fair value of the property will not be reliably measurable on a continuing basis (see paragraph 53). |

49.

| 50. | In determining the carrying amount of investment property under the fair value model, an entity does not double-count assets or liabilities that are recognised as separate assets or liabilities. For example:






  (a) | equipment such as lifts or air-conditioning is often an integral part of a building and is generally included in the fair value of the investment property, rather than recognised separately as property, plant and equipment. |
| --- | --- | --- |

50.

(a)

equipment such as lifts or air-conditioning is often an integral part of a building and is generally included in the fair value of the investment property, rather than recognised separately as property, plant and equipment.

| (b) | if an office is leased on a furnished basis, the fair value of the office generally includes the fair value of the furniture, because the rental income relates to the furnished office. When furniture is included in the fair value of investment property, an entity does not recognise that furniture as a separate asset. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

if an office is leased on a furnished basis, the fair value of the office generally includes the fair value of the furniture, because the rental income relates to the furnished office. When furniture is included in the fair value of investment property, an entity does not recognise that furniture as a separate asset.

| (c) | the fair value of investment property excludes prepaid or accrued operating lease income, because the entity recognises it as a separate liability or asset. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the fair value of investment property excludes prepaid or accrued operating lease income, because the entity recognises it as a separate liability or asset.

| (d) | the fair value of investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset reflects expected cash flows (including variable lease payments that are expected to become payable). Accordingly, if a valuation obtained for a property is net of all payments expected to be made, it will be necessary to add back any recognised lease liability, to arrive at the carrying amount of the investment property using the fair value model. |

(d)

the fair value of investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset reflects expected cash flows (including variable lease payments that are expected to become payable). Accordingly, if a valuation obtained for a property is net of all payments expected to be made, it will be necessary to add back any recognised lease liability, to arrive at the carrying amount of the investment property using the fair value model.

51.

| 52. | In some cases, an entity expects that the present value of its payments relating to an investment property (other than payments relating to recognised liabilities) will exceed the present value of the related cash receipts. An entity applies IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets to determine whether to recognise a liability and, if so, how to measure it. |
| --- | --- |

52.

Inability to measure fair value reliably

| 53. | There is a rebuttable presumption that an entity can reliably measure the fair value of an investment property on a continuing basis. However, in exceptional cases, there is clear evidence when an entity first acquires an investment property (or when an existing property first becomes investment property after a change in use) that the fair value of the investment property is not reliably measurable on a continuing basis. This arises when, and only when, the market for comparableproperties is inactive (eg there are few recent transactions, price quotations are not current or observed transaction prices indicate that the seller was forced to sell) and alternative reliable measurements of fair value (for example, based on discounted cash flow projections) are not available. If an entity determines that the fair value of an investment property under construction is not reliably measurable but expects the fair value of the property to be reliably measurable when construction is complete, it shall measure that investment property under construction at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably measurable or construction is completed (whichever is earlier). If an entity determines that the fair value of an investment property (other than an investment property under construction) is not reliably measurable on a continuing basis, the entity shall measure that investment property using the cost model in IAS 16 for owned investment property or in accordance with IFRS 16 for investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset. The residual value of the investment property shall be assumed to be zero. The entity shall continue to apply IAS 16 or IFRS 16 until disposal of the investment property. |
| --- | --- |

53.

| 53A | Once an entity becomes able to measure reliably the fair value of an investment property under construction that has previously been measured at cost, it shall measure that property at its fair value. Once construction of that property is complete, it is presumed that fair value can be measured reliably. If this is not the case, in accordance with paragraph 53, the property shall be accounted for using the cost model in accordance with IAS 16 for owned assets or IFRS 16 for investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset. |
| --- | --- |

53A

| 53B | The presumption that the fair value of investment property under construction can be measured reliably can be rebutted only on initial recognition. An entity that has measured an item of investment property under construction at fair value may not conclude that the fair value of the completed investment property cannot be measured reliably. |
| --- | --- |

53B

| 54. | In the exceptional cases when an entity is compelled, for the reason given in paragraph 53, to measure an investment property using the cost model in accordance with IAS 16 or IFRS 16, it measures at fair value all its other investment property, including investment property under construction. In these cases, although an entity may use the cost model for one investment property, the entity shall continue to account for each of the remaining properties using the fair value model. |
| --- | --- |

54.

| 55. | If an entity has previously measured an investment property at fair value, it shall continue to measure the property at fair value until disposal (or until the property becomes owner-occupied property or the entity begins to develop the property for subsequent sale in the ordinary course of business) even if comparable market transactions become less frequent or market prices become less readily available. |
| --- | --- |

55.

Cost model

| 56. | After initial recognition, an entity that chooses the cost model shall measure investment property:








  (a) | in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations if it meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or is included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale); |
| --- | --- | --- |

56.

(a)

in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations if it meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or is included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale);

| (b) | in accordance with IFRS 16 if it is held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset and is not held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5; and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

in accordance with IFRS 16 if it is held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset and is not held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5; and

| (c) | in accordance with the requirements in IAS 16 for the cost model in all other cases. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

in accordance with the requirements in IAS 16 for the cost model in all other cases.

TRANSFERS

| 57. | Transfers to, or from, investment property shall be made when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by:








  (a) | commencement of owner-occupation, for a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property; |
| --- | --- | --- |

57.

(a)

(e)

[deleted]

| 58. | Paragraph 57(b) requires an entity to transfer a property from investment property to inventories when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale. When an entity decides to dispose of an investment property without development, it continues to treat the property as an investment property until it is derecognised (eliminated from the statement of financial position) and does not treat it as inventory. Similarly, if an entity begins to redevelop an existing investment property for continued future use as investment property, the property remains an investment property and is not reclassified as owner-occupied property during the redevelopment. |
| --- | --- |

58.

| 59. | Paragraphs 60–65 apply to recognition and measurement issues that arise when an entity uses the fair value model for investment property. When an entity uses the cost model, transfers between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes. |
| --- | --- |

59.

| 60. | For a transfer from investment property carried at fair value to owner-occupied property or inventories, the property's deemed cost for subsequent accounting in accordance with IAS 16, IFRS 16 or IAS 2 shall be its fair value at the date of change in use. |
| --- | --- |

60.

| 61. | If an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property that will be carried at fair value, an entity shall apply IAS 16 for owned property and IFRS 16 for property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset up to the date of change in use. The entity shall treat any difference at that date between the carrying amount of the property in accordance with IAS 16 or IFRS 16 and its fair value in the same way as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16. |
| --- | --- |

61.

| 62. | Up to the date when an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property carried at fair value, an entity depreciates the property (or the right-of-use asset) and recognises any impairment losses that have occurred. The entity treats any difference at that date between the carrying amount of the property in accordance with IAS 16 or IFRS 16 and its fair value in the same way as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16. In other words:






  (a) | any resulting decrease in the carrying amount of the property is recognised in profit or loss. However, to the extent that an amount is included in revaluation surplus for that property, the decrease is recognised in other comprehensive income and reduces the revaluation surplus within equity. |
| --- | --- | --- |

62.

(a)

any resulting decrease in the carrying amount of the property is recognised in profit or loss. However, to the extent that an amount is included in revaluation surplus for that property, the decrease is recognised in other comprehensive income and reduces the revaluation surplus within equity.

| (b) | any resulting increase in the carrying amount is treated as follows:






  (i) | to the extent that the increase reverses a previous impairment loss for that property, the increase is recognised in profit or loss. The amount recognised in profit or loss does not exceed the amount needed to restore the carrying amount to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

any resulting increase in the carrying amount is treated as follows:

(i)

to the extent that the increase reverses a previous impairment loss for that property, the increase is recognised in profit or loss. The amount recognised in profit or loss does not exceed the amount needed to restore the carrying amount to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised.

| (ii) | any remaining part of the increase is recognised in other comprehensive income and increases the revaluation surplus within equity. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation surplus included in equity may be transferred to retained earnings. The transfer from revaluation surplus to retained earnings is not made through profit or loss. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

any remaining part of the increase is recognised in other comprehensive income and increases the revaluation surplus within equity. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation surplus included in equity may be transferred to retained earnings. The transfer from revaluation surplus to retained earnings is not made through profit or loss.

| 63. | For a transfer from inventories to investment property that will be carried at fair value, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount shall be recognised in profit or loss. |
| --- | --- |

63.

| 64. | The treatment of transfers from inventories to investment property that will be carried at fair value is consistent with the treatment of sales of inventories. |
| --- | --- |

64.

| 65. | When an entity completes the construction or development of a self-constructed investment property that will be carried at fair value, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount shall be recognised in profit or loss. |
| --- | --- |

65.

DISPOSALS

| 66. | An investment property shall be derecognised (eliminated from the statement of financial position) on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. |
| --- | --- |

66.

| 67. | The disposal of an investment property may be achieved by sale or by entering into a finance lease. The date of disposal for investment property that is sold is the date the recipient obtains control of the investment property in accordance with the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15. IFRS 16 applies to a disposal effected by entering into a finance lease and to a sale and leaseback. |
| --- | --- |

67.

| 68. | If, in accordance with the recognition principle in paragraph 16, an entity recognises in the carrying amount of an asset the cost of a replacement for part of an investment property, it derecognises the carrying amount of the replaced part. For investment property accounted for using the cost model, a replaced part may not be a part that was depreciated separately. If it is not practicable for an entity to determine the carrying amount of the replaced part, it may use the cost of the replacement as an indication of what the cost of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired or constructed. Under the fair value model, the fair value of the investment property may already reflect that the part to be replaced has lost its value. In other cases it may be difficult to discern how much fair value should be reduced for the part being replaced. An alternative to reducing fair value for the replaced part, when it is not practical to do so, is to include the cost of the replacement in the carrying amount of the asset and then to reassess the fair value, as would be required for additions not involving replacement. |
| --- | --- |

68.

| 69. | Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and shall be recognised in profit or loss (unless IFRS 16 requires otherwise on a sale and leaseback) in the period of the retirement or disposal. |
| --- | --- |

69.

| 70. | The amount of consideration to be included in the gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an investment property is determined in accordance with the requirements for determining the transaction price in paragraphs 47–72 of IFRS 15. Subsequent changes to the estimated amount of the consideration included in the gain or loss shall be accounted for in accordance with the requirements for changes in the transaction price in IFRS 15. |
| --- | --- |

70.

| 71. | An entity applies IAS 37 or other Standards, as appropriate, to any liabilities that it retains after disposal of an investment property. |
| --- | --- |

71.

| 72. | Compensation from third parties for investment property that was impaired, lost or given up shall be recognised in profit or loss when the compensation becomes receivable. |
| --- | --- |

72.

| 73. | Impairments or losses of investment property, related claims for or payments of compensation from third parties and any subsequent purchase or construction of replacement assets are separate economic events and are accounted for separately as follows:






  (a) | impairments of investment property are recognised in accordance with IAS 36; |
| --- | --- | --- |

73.

(a)

impairments of investment property are recognised in accordance with IAS 36;

| (b) | retirements or disposals of investment property are recognised in accordance with paragraphs 66–71 of this Standard; |

(b)

retirements or disposals of investment property are recognised in accordance with paragraphs 66–71 of this Standard;

| --- | --- |

(c)

compensation from third parties for investment property that was impaired, lost or given up is recognised in profit or loss when it becomes receivable; and

| --- | --- |

(d)

the cost of assets restored, purchased or constructed as replacements is determined in accordance with paragraphs 20–29 of this Standard.

TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS

Fair value model

| 80. | An entity that has previously applied IAS 40 (2000) and elects for the first time to classify and account for some or all eligible property interests held under operating leases as investment property shall recognise the effect of that election as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the period in which the election is first made. In addition:








  (a) | if the entity has previously disclosed publicly (in financial statements or otherwise) the fair value of those property interests in earlier periods (measured on a basis that satisfies the definition of fair value in IFRS 13), the entity is encouraged, but not required:








  (i) | to adjust the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest period presented for which such fair value was disclosed publicly; and |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

80.

(a)

if the entity has previously disclosed publicly (in financial statements or otherwise) the fair value of those property interests in earlier periods (measured on a basis that satisfies the definition of fair value in IFRS 13), the entity is encouraged, but not required:

(i)

to adjust the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest period presented for which such fair value was disclosed publicly; and

| (ii) | to restate comparative information for those periods; and |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

to restate comparative information for those periods; and

| (b) | if the entity has not previously disclosed publicly the information described in (a), it shall not restate comparative information and shall disclose that fact. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

if the entity has not previously disclosed publicly the information described in (a), it shall not restate comparative information and shall disclose that fact.

| 81. | This Standard requires a treatment different from that required by IAS 8. IAS 8 requires comparative information to be restated unless such restatement is impracticable. |
| --- | --- |

81.

| 82. | When an entity first applies this Standard, the adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings includes the reclassification of any amount held in revaluation surplus for investment property. |
| --- | --- |

82.

Cost model

| 83. | IAS 8 applies to any change in accounting policies that is made when an entity first applies this Standard and chooses to use the cost model. The effect of the change in accounting policies includes the reclassification of any amount held in revaluation surplus for investment property. |
| --- | --- |

83.

| 84. | The requirements of paragraphs 27–29 regarding the initial measurement of an investment property acquired in an exchange of assets transaction shall be applied prospectively only to future transactions. |
| --- | --- |

84.

Business Combinations

| 84A | Annual Improvements Cycle 2011–2013 issued in December 2013 added paragraph 14A and a heading before paragraph 6. An entity shall apply that amendment prospectively for acquisitions of investment property from the beginning of the first period for which it adopts that amendment. Consequently, accounting for acquisitions of investment property in prior periods shall not be adjusted. However, an entity may choose to apply the amendment to individual acquisitions of investment property that occurred prior to the beginning of the first annual period occurring on or after the effective date if, and only if, information needed to apply the amendment to those earlier transactions is available to the entity. |
| --- | --- |

84A

| 85A | IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in 2007) amended the terminology used throughout IFRSs. In addition it amended paragraph 62.

Earlier application is permitted.
