Fair Value Model and Cost Model
74 The disclosures below apply in addition to those in AASB 117. In accordance with AASB 117, the owner of an investment property provides lessors’ disclosures about leases into which it has entered. An entity that holds an investment property under a finance or operating lease provides lessees’ disclosures for finance leases and lessors’ disclosures for any operating leases into which it has entered.
75 An entity shall disclose:
(a) whether it applies the fair value or the cost model;
(b) if it applies the fair value model, whether, and in what circumstances, property interests held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property;
(c) when classification is difficult (see paragraph 14), the criteria it uses to distinguish investment property from owner-occupied property and from property held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
(d) [deleted by the IASB]
(e) the extent to which the fair value of investment property (as measured or disclosed in the financial statements) is based on 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. If there has been no such valuation, that fact shall be disclosed;
(f) the amounts recognised in profit or loss for:
(i) rental income from investment property;
(ii) direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that generated rental income during the period;
(iii) direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that did not generate rental income during the period; and
(iv) the cumulative change in fair value recognised in profit or loss on a sale of investment property from a pool of assets in which the cost model is used into a pool in which the fair value model is used (see paragraph 32C).
(g) the existence and amounts of restrictions on the realisability of investment property or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposal; and
(h) contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment property or for repairs, maintenance or enhancements.
