IAS 38

“An intangible asset is an identifiable, non-monetary asset without physical substance.”

To be recognised in the financial statements, an intangible asset must:


• meet this definition, and
• meet the IAS 38 recognition criteria.

IAS 38 excludes:
• Internally generated goodwill, Brands, customer lists
• Staff
• Account receivable
Recognition

Intangible asset is recognised if:

• "It is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity
and
• The item's cost can be measured reliably".

Exercise 5.1
At 1 January 20X5, Moor Labs Co has capitalised development costs with an original cost of $10 million and
carrying amount of $5million.

The company started a new R&D project on 1 January 20X5, incurring $1.6 million costs during the research
phase, which lasted until 31 August 20X5. From that date, average development costs incurred on the project
were $750,000 per month.

On 1 November 20X5, the management of Moor Labs Co became confident that the project would be a
commercial success and make good profits. The project is still in development at 31 December 20X5.
Capitalised development expenditure is amortised at 25% per annum using the straight line method.

What amount is recognised as an expense in terms of R&D in the year ended 31 December 20X5?

Exercise 5.2

An item of plant has a carrying amount (based on historical cost) of $124,000 and a value in use of $117,000.

The price the asset could achieve at auction is expected to be $127,000 and fees of 10% would be incurred

on a sale.

Calculate impairment, if any?


Cash generating units (CGU)

The carrying amount of the CGU is compared with its recoverable amount. Any impairment loss is allocated:

1. To physically damaged assets

2. To any goodwill in the CGU

3. To other assets of the CGU (that are within the scope of IAS 36) on a pro rata basis.
Exercise 5.3

A CGU comprises goodwill with a carrying amount of $20,000, PPE with a carrying amount of $150,000,

Intangible assets with a carrying amount of $50,000 and net current assets with a carrying amount of

$90,000. The recoverable amount of the CGU is $250,000. The recoverable amount of the PPE is its value in

use of $130,000. The carrying amount of the CGU is $310,000.

Calculate impairment loss of CGU and review carrying amounts.
