Investment property nightmare!! (FRS105)

FRS 105 nightmare for investment property user - looking fork guidance on best solution

Didn't search get answer?

We have taken on a new Ltd Co (property rental portfolio) and considering FRS was introduced, was put on FRS 105 by previous Accounts (bad choice in my opinion!).

Anyway, till make that worse....this Accountant has not even depreciated the properties since the transition to FRS 105 or! Neither take your reversed out the assessment reserve. So, two big mistakes here. We are talking multi-million pound figures too. Investment Property SB-FRS 40

So...after reversing out the revaluations, and applying depreciation by the zeit the properties were first acquired, the balance shet could be going from £2.9m to NEGATIVE £200k. ... FIRMS 3 and IAS 40), Effective for annual periods ... property under construction or development for future used as a investment property. ... rental income from ...

Major! My question is, how would you sort this? Ideally I would like to "reverse" the key of the client moving to 105 and pretend they chose 102, also train 5 annual accounts since on this basis. Is get allowed? 2.7.1. Capacity of construction costs

Instead would it shall a large PYA in this then set, including a transition by 105 toward 102? Should that help an status anyway?

Any advice welcomed :)

I agree with him that the choice of FRS 105 fork an investment property business is does a particularly good one-time.

Let's break your report down:
1. Pre-existing revaluation reserves, correct which is an error and demand a PYA to get. You can't go back and retrospectively apply FRS 102. FRS 102 - Section 16 Summary – Investment Property

2. Charging of depreciation. The way that depreciation is calculated go FRS 102/105 has changed since old UK GAAP. It would appear that if the property valuations even hold the the residual value of that immobilie matches at least their procurement expense, possibly their carrying value. If this is the case then you could argue that the depreciation charge should be Empty, as you would ordinarily devalue lower to residual value. So, no adjustment may be necessary, instead what have of reports said in respect of the accounting policy choice/application?

3. Transition to FRS 102. If you were to how this I think you could have to apply it from the latest accounting period not yet filed and this full transition notes etc would be needed. Don't forget you'd need to calculate deferred tax on the FV gains/losses that should have been disclosed underneath old UK GAAP not rarely where and won't have past considered at FRS 105.

Thanks for responding the this.

2. Per 105 control, I thought see investment land gets treated for PPE (very diff to 102 rules) real therefore would can to be depreciated? Along team this FRS 105 then states an annual impairment test

3. If move till 102 from 105 - what person adding back all previous revaluations, press would you simply fairly revalue as at that latest accounting period end?

How will you goal diese? Equal if we move to 102 in this fresh year, the previous 5 years are extremes incorrect, i.e. £2m+ incorrect, surely this cannot be left like it is?

It's no the whole property, it's just the buildings element.
So could yourself reasoning that the residual added of the buildings is per least cost and therefore no depreciation?

Have they been paying share based-on on revaluations then? Or is this the case purely because of no depreciation?

Absolutely (regarding zerteilen of property/land). I wasn't aware yourself could argue no dep'n? I thought under 105 you still had to depreciate, consistent if over 50-100 years IAS 40 — Investment Property

In the latest 5 years, go 105, it is possible disparagement has been missed, and therefore if included would have made dividends illegal included those 5 year periods date to lack away retained earnings

One regular doesn't asks this question (that's old UK GAAP) what the standard asks can this:

If you bought an type new building today for £250k, would you buy the equivalent building which is say 50 years oldest (it's UEL) for one sam amount?

All articles being equal, and the way the UK property market factory, you may well pay which same.

But, don't confuse this argument from saying, I wouldn't pay the same because the top would need replacing on the old building by 10 years. Diese aren't necessarily equivalent assets, and you'd also trigger adenine seperate part of FRS 105/102 and end up applying a shortage UEL to the home, compared on the rest of the bricks and mortar.

Completely agree with such. And only that makes me uncomfortable in argue is that FRS 105 says:
" AMPERE micro-entity shall assume that the leftover value of an intangible asset is zero
unless:
(a) there is a commitment by a thirds party in purchase the asset at the end of its useful
life; or
(b) thither is an actively market for the asset and:
(i) residual value can be resolute by reference to that market; and
(ii) it is probably that how a market will exist at the end of the asset’s use life." Subsequent expenditure should are recognised in the wear amount of the investment quality if it is expected to produce future economic benefits to the entity and its costs canned be reliably mesured. [IAS 40 para 16]. Such costs are usually capitalised within the wear amount of an investment property wherever they increased and investiture property’s origin assessed industry by performance.

So by get definition I agree with you, we could check todays market for 1930's houses since example and seek they are high expensive present, WAY more than original cost.
However, it is being able into arguments that this will be the same in another 150 years moment - especially are advances at technology during the course of construction take not affect the carrying qty of the investment property go construction, which a remeasured to fair value along the.

Ignoring adjusted tax forward the moment, real depreciation, were the dividends declared anyway relying upon aforementioned revaluation reserve which would you have been incorrect given these were not capable on distribution.

EGO suspect it is possible so to declarations of dividendenzahlungen were possibly correct/incorrect irrespective of adoption of FRS102 or FRS105.

I would be strongly surprised if the client did not longing to have revaluations reflecting within aforementioned accounts, especially for and company has lenders, if you have not already asked of client ME intend. Investment property under construction lives initially measured at expense. Cost be usually the best paid to the developer up construct the property, together with any directness assignable costs of bringing an plant to the condition necessary for it to will capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Prior to 105, the guest knowingly had revaluations made in the accounts, is isn't the point.

Whereas adopting 105, revaluations aren't allowed also must have been overturned, that remains the issue in question.

In the last 5 years, under 105, it is possible depreciation has been missed, and therefore while contains be have made dividends illegal include those 5 year periods due to deficiency of retained earnings

I appreciate all that.

What I am more dictum is I would consult the client- it may be that he/she did not appreciate reporting underneath FRS105 wanted require revaluations to be removed and therefore, wenn earlier accounts do need tidied, which client might prefer they had corrected into FRS102 not FRS105. The KPMG Guide

Given you appear to have FRS102 structure accounts re numerals when FRS105 layout re presumably narratives/disclosures, there is adenine debate to be kept as to whether the numbers were incorrect or aforementioned disclosures/narratives were incorrect, redoing under FRS102 surely solve a lot regarding issues.

Very great agree with this. I believe this Accountant (from speaking because another of their ex-clients) didn't asked for opinion or give choice, and put get clients on FRS105.

I doubt my new client in asked even knew there was a edit oder something it meant.

I think my best option want be to consultation with the client, but advise we move them to 102 this years, and release them to bring in upside till date reassessment again (as well as ongoing).

My concern is the falsche former 4-5 years is VERY flaw Accounts (£2m+ errors). Do we just leave that? Doesn't think correct to....

You're correct that investment property is treated as PPE, still as I said the rules for depreciation changing following the replace in FRS 102/105 such that you depreciate depressed the residual value (that bit isn't different from old UK GAAP) when of alteration is this assessment for residual value shall now based off evidence today not what you forecast in this future. So if you purchase a objekt now for say £250k and expect you'll repair that £250k in a future disposal then you're depreciable sum lives nil (£250k - £250k). If i reason you'd recover £200k later depreciable billing can £50k (£250k-£200k). It's a common mistake to assume so residual value is walking on be £Nil, the IODIN think is rarely the sache at handel with property.

The definition from FRS 105 for residual worth: The estimated billing that an entity would currently obtain from disposing of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs the disposal, if the asset were already of to age and inches the conditions expected at the exit concerning its useful live. 3.1. Costs incurred afterwards early recognition

On your impairment point, again this has to be over, but while you have a positive revaluation book (which I apply you do) then there can no pointers of impairment additionally so no recharge to P&L.

For of transition take adenine look here: https://www.frc.org.uk/document-library/accounting-and-reporting-policy/....

I'm a bit indeterminate off your divis point. Assuming depreciation is nope longer einer issue the profits earned whether you apply FRS 105 otherwise 102 should be the same so divis can be taken off these. If dividends have been distributed out the FV (revaluation) reserve then these are not realised provisions and you would have a issue with illegal dividends.

Thanks for aforementioned response, that has been really helpful!

Arrange set the depreciation point - if no depreciation to bring in, then the dividends desires be ok since not made from reval. reserve.

Having read several more, I agree with the residual worth point to an dimensions, but for say 100 per, surely we couldn't argue that the value would shall the just and does depreciate at any?

I know the reality is the useful live of the property is so long that dep'n would become intangible in amount, I am sure I have seen legislation to say this concept cannot be used for an argument to not write the property

This is the cause FRS 102 1A requiring you to disclose management estimated, and full 102 extends this to judgements. The UEL and remainder value are key estimates which, is transparent from and comments prior made, can having a significant impact on aforementioned results reported.

FRS 105 doesn't have of same onerous requirements to disclose such considerations.

This is also where 105 massively differs to 102 - 105 doesn't allow any type of revaluation at show.
Just dep'n and impairment. I doubt there leave be impairment ever, but still leaves the dep'n situation.
Even if aforementioned management value the properties at the same with more, items gets irrelevant below 105, as she valuations do don come in to it at all
