14.4 Cost model
14.4.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 14.5-14.6

14.5  An investor that is not a parent, that chooses to adopt the cost model, shall measure its investments in associates at cost less any accumulated impairment losses recognised in accordance with Section 27 Impairment of Assets.

14.6  The investor shall recognise dividends and other distributions received from the investment as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.

14.4.2 OmniPro comment
14.4.2.1 Measurement

As per Section 14.5 of FRS 102 under the cost model the investment should be measured at the cost loss accumulated impairment.

14.4.2.1.1 Definition of cost

Section 14 does not detail what is defined as the cost however it is taken to mean the actual price paid plus expenses incidental to its acquisition.

14.4.2.2 Impairments

In line with Section 27- Impairment of Assets, at the end of each reporting period, the entity must assess if there are indicators of impairment of the investment in the associate (see 27.5.2). Where these are identified an impairment review should be performed in line with Section 27 as detailed at see 27.6.2 so as to determine the recoverable amount which will usually be performed by calculating the value in use.

14.4.2.3 Deferred tax under the cost model

Given that they are stated at cost there are no deferred tax implications, other than on an impairment. A deferred tax asset would only be recognised in this instance if it was probable there would be future CGT profits available to offset the loss.

14.4.2.4 Illustration of the cost model

See below illustration of the cost model.


Example 3: Cost model

Company A purchased a 25% interest in Company B for CU100,000 plus stamp duty of CU1,000 plus professional fees of CU1,000. The total cost of the investment to be shown on the balance sheet is CU102,000. This is kept at this cost over its life unless an impairment is identified.


14.4.2.5 Recognition of Income

Dividends received are recognised in the profit and loss account when received. It is irrelevant whether this is paid from pre or post acquisition reserves as per Section 14.6 of FRS 102. However, if it was paid from pre-acquisition reserves, then the entity should assess if there is an indication of impairment of the investment.


Example 4: Dividend paid out of pre-acquisition reserves.

Company A acquired an 25% interest in an associate for CU10,000 when the profit and loss reserves of the associate were CU5,000. During the year the company received a dividend of CU10,000 from the associate. This CU10,000 is recognised in the financial statements as income (i.e. credit profit and loss income from participating interest and debit bank). It is irrelevant that some of it was paid out of pre-acquisition reserves.
