Some Cases First
Once year on year changes in asset values of investment properties
are included in the profit and loss account, using reported profit
as a yardstick to measure a company’s performance would be
simplistic and possibly misleading.

HKAS 17 is largely the same as SSAP 14, but has just been amended
to align with IAS 17 (in respect of land and buildings) by
Leases – Little Change?
2. Introducing several new paragraphs 1. Deleting one sentence,
and

Properties in HK are leasehold interest in land
• Not freehold land → Not a “purchase” but a “lease” • In the past,
SSAP 14 had an exemption:
– deemed all the risks and rewards incident to ownership of the
“leasehold property” were transferred
– therefore, such interest was accounted for as a “purchase” in
accordance with
• SSAP 13 Accounting for investment properties or • SSAP 17
Property, plant and equipment, as appropriate • instead of SSAP

• then, constructed a building on the land for own use
10 years later, Entity B “acquired” the interest of the land and
building from Entity A for own use
Assuming Entity B “acquired” the property at HK$20 million and at
that time
A similar land has a fair value of $12M Construction cost of a
similar building is $4M
• HK$ 20M to be separated in proportion to the relative fair values
of the land and building element at the inception of the lease,
i.e. by HK$ 12M to HK$ 4M
• Then, the separate measurement will result in: Land = HK$15M
($20M ×$12M / $16M) Building = HK$ 5M ($20M × $ 4M / $16M)
• HK$ 20M to be separated in proportion to the relative fair values
of the land and building element at the inception of the lease,
i.e. by HK$ 12M to HK$ 4M

Leases – Separate Measurement
“The early adoption of HKAS 17 has resulted in a change in
accounting policy relating to leasehold land.”
“Leasehold land and buildings were previously carried at valuation
less accumulated depreciation.”
“In accordance with the provisions of HKAS 17, a lease of land and
building should be split into a lease of land and a lease of
building in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold
interests in the land element and the building element of the lease
at the inception of the lease.”
“The lease premium for land is stated at cost and amortised over
the period of the lease whereas the leasehold building is stated at
valuation less accumulated depreciation.”

How’s about property held by the lessee under an operating
lease?
Examples of investment property under HKAS 40 include: • Property
leased out under operating leases • Property held for long-term
capital appreciation • Property held for a currently undetermined
future use • Vacant property to be leased out under operating
leases

Definitions – To Operating Leases
• A property interest – that is held by a lessee under an operating
lease
may be classified and accounted for as investment property if, and
only if • the property would otherwise meet the definition of
an
investment property and • the lessee uses the Fair Value
Model
• This classification alternative is available on a
property-by-property basis
• However, once this classification alternative is selected for one
such property interest held under an operating lease, all
properties classified as investment property shall be accounted for
using the Fair Value Model

services or for administrative purposes

examples that is NOT an investment property

Definitions - Owner-Occupied Property
Refer back to HKAS 16 for definition of property, plant and
equipment • Property, plant and equipment are tangible items
that:
a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or
services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes;
and
b) are expected to be used during more than one period.

Definitions - Owner-Occupied Property
• One of the key indicators in determining the classification
between investment property and owner-occupied property
Cash Flow
• held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both
• therefore, generates cash flows largely independently of the
other assets held by an entity.
• 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

that, from 1 Jan. 2005: “Adoption of these new accounting policies
will have the following significant consequences: a) The net book
value of fixed assets, the overall provision for deferred
tax liabilities and the net asset value of the Group will be
reduced b) The annual depreciation and lease rental charges will

Cost ModelCost Model
Fair Value ModelFair Value Model
• HKAS 40 implicitly implies that the choice can only be elected on
the first-time adoption of HKAS 40
• The model chosen should be applied to all investment properties,
except for some identified exceptions.
and
• However, even Cost Model is adopted, HKAS 40 still requires all
entities to determine the fair value of investment property …… •
For disclosure purpose, the fair value of the investment property
has to
be disclosed in notes to the financial statement! • In determining
the fair value of investment property for both cost model
and fair value model ⇒ an entity is only encouraged, but not
required, to rely on a
professional valuer’s valuation
Fair Value ModelFair Value ModelAfter initial recognition, an
entity that chooses → • shall measure all of its investment
property at
fair value, except in the cases that 1. the fair value cannot be
determined reliably, or 2. the cost model is chosen for the
investment property backing liabilities
that pay a return linked directly to the fair value of, or returns
from specific assets including that investment property
• When a property interest held by a lessee under an operating
lease is classified as an investment property ⇒ the fair value
model must be applied for all investment
properties • A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value
of
investment property shall be recognised in profit or loss for the
period in which it arises
Depreciation? Tax Implication?
HKAS 40 • Uses fair value, instead of open market value
– but in substance, they are similar – not the same as SSAP 13,
HKAS 40 only encourages, but not
requires, a profession valuation on a fair value
Measurement after Recognition
Fair Value ModelFair Value Model
• Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be
exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length
transaction – Same definition used in other HKFRSs and HKASs – But
HKAS 40 provides more explanations unique for a fair value of a
property
• The fair value of investment property shall reflect market
conditions at the balance sheet date
Depreciation? Tax Implication?
Not our concern this time! But be careful, good & bad

Measurement after Recognition
Interim Report 2005 clearly stated that:Interim Report 2005 clearly
stated that:
CaseCase
• The directors consider it inappropriate for the company to adopt
two particular aspects of the new/revised IFRSs as these would
result in the financial statements, in the view of the directors,
either: • not reflecting the commercial substance of the business
or • being subject to significant potential short-term volatility,
as
explained below …….
Measurement after Recognition CaseCase
• IAS 40 “Investment property” requires an assessment of the fair
value of investment properties.
• The group intends to follow the same accounting treatment as
adopted in 2004, which is to value such investment properties on an
annual basis.
• Accordingly, the investment properties were not revalued at 30
June 2005, since the directors consider that such change of
practice could introduce a significant element of short- term
volatility into the income statement in respect of assets which are
being held on a long-term basis by the group ……
• It is not practicable to estimate the financial effect of this
non-compliance as no interim valuation of the properties has been
conducted.

Approach in HKAS 21 1. In preparing financial statements, each
entity
determines its functional currency.
2. The entity translates foreign currency items or transactions
into its functional currency and reports the effects of such
translation.
3. The results and financial position of any individual entity (say
subsidiary, associate or branches) within the reporting entity (say
parent) whose functional currency differs from the presentation
currency of the reporting entity are translated.
4. If the entity’s presentation currency differs from its
functional currency, its results and financial position are also
translated into the presentation currency.

What is Foreign Currency?
• Foreign currency is a currency other than the functional currency
of the entity.
• Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates.
• Presentation currency is the currency in which the financial
statements are presented.
1. In preparing financial statements, each entity determines its
functional currency.

Indicators to Determine
• Primary indicators a) the currency
i) that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services, and
ii) of the country whose competitive forces and regulations
mainly
determine the sales price of its goods and services. b) the
currency that mainly influences labour, material and other costs
of
providing goods or service. • Other indicators in determining
functional currency
a) the currency in which funds from financing activities (ie
issuing debt and equity instruments) are generated.
b) the currency in which receipts from operating activities are
usually retained.
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates.
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic

Indicators to Determine
• When the above indicators are mixed and the functional currency
is not obvious – management uses its judgement to determine the
functional currency that
most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying
transactions, events and conditions.
• An entity’s functional currency reflects the underlying
transactions, events and conditions that are relevant to it – once
determined, the functional currency is not changed unless there is
a
change in those underlying transactions, events and conditions. •
If the functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy, the
entity’s financial statements are restated in accordance with HKAS
29 – An entity cannot avoid restatement in accordance with HKAS 29

example, adopting as its functional currency a currency other than
the functional currency determined in accordance with HKAS 21 (such

• In its 2005 Interim Report, full set of HKFRS was adopted: – The
functional currency of each of the consolidated entities has
been re-evaluated based on the guidance to the revised HKAS 21. •
Accounting policy on functional and presentation currency:
– Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group
entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (“the functional
currency”).
– The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK
dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation

• Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged,
or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in
an arm’s length transaction.
Active market exists – A financial instrument is regarded as quoted
in an active market if quoted
prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange and
similar entities.
– The existence of published price quotations in an active market
is the best evidence of fair value and when they exist they should
be used to measure the financial asset (or financial liability) •

Measurement – Impairment ExampleExample
Impairment Based on Ageing Analysis • Entity A calculates
impairment in the unsecured portion of loans and
receivables on the basis of a provision matrix – that specifies
fixed provision rates for the number of days a loan has been
classified as non-performing as follows: • 0% if less than 90 days
• 20% if 90-180 days • 50% if 181-365 days, and • 100% if more than
365 days
• Can the results be considered to be appropriate for the purpose
of calculating the impairment loss on loans and receivables?
Not necessarily. • HKAS 39 requires impairment or bad debt losses
to be calculated as
the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial
instrument’s original effective interest rate.

CaseCase
A ShareShare--based payment transaction based payment transaction
is
• A transaction in which the entity receives or acquires goods or
services
– as consideration for equity instruments of the entity (including
shares or share options), or
– by incurring liabilities to the supplier of those good or
services for amounts that are based on the price of the entity’s
shares or other equity instruments of the entity
→ e.g. Employee share option (ESO)
→ e.g. Share appreciation rights
RecognitionRecognition • In the past, no recognition ⇒ Now, all
share-based payment
transactions shall be recognised
MeasurementMeasurement • Using Fair Value measurement basis
– To measure the goods or services received at the fair value of
the goods or services received (unless that fair value cannot be
estimated reliably)
– To measure by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments granted (if the entity cannot estimate reliably the
fair value of the goods or services received)
What is Fair Value of equity instruments, say share options? •
Market price, if available • If market price is not available,
valuation model (say option
pricing model) can be used to estimate the Fair Value

Summary of Changes in HKFRS 3
• HSBC adopted UK GAAP previously and proposed to change to IFRS in
2005 • It assessed that the impact of those changes from IFRS 3
would be high • Its US SEC filing (Dec. 2004) further stated
that:
– Goodwill recorded at 31 December 2003 …… will be the subject of
impairment testing thereafter
– In the event of impairment, the absence of previous amortisation
is likely to lead to larger impairment charges than would have been
required under UK GAAP
– The cessation of goodwill amortisation will impact the income
statement
Comments argued that amendments “introduce more volatility” but
also agreed that it can lead to • Greater international
applicability • Comparability and reliability • Transparency

Extracted from its 2005 interim report: • The Group’s unaudited
profit attributable to shareholders
for the half year amounted to HK$11,824 million, a 10% increase
over the HK$10,758 million for the same period last year, which has
been restated for the adoption of new HKFRS issued by the
HKICPA.
• EPS amounted to HK$2.77, compared to HK$2.52 in the same period
last year. • These results include a net profit on revaluation of
investment properties of
HK$3,696 million (2004 – Nil) and profits on disposal of
investments and others totalling HK$14,900 million (2004 –
HK$15,059 million). This profit resulted from two major
transactions completed in the first half of this year.
• Firstly, a profit of HK$9,400 million arose from the exercise by
the Group of its right to re-purchase from the minority
shareholders of 3 UK their 35% interest for £210 million, a
substantial discount both to its net asset value and to the £2,100
million paid to the Group by the minority shareholders when they
acquired these interests in 2000.
• Secondly, a profit of HK$5,500 million was realised from the
disposal for cash of a 20% interest in HK International Terminals
and a 10% interest in COSCO-HIT Terminals (HK).
