34.5 Disclosures – fair value model
34.5.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 34.7-34.7B

34.7  An entity shall disclose the following for each class of biological asset measured using the fair value model:

 (a)  A description of each class of biological asset.

 (b)  The methods and significant assumptions applied in determining the fair value of each class of biological asset.

 (c)  A reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of each class of biological asset between the beginning and the end of the current period. The reconciliation shall include:

 (i) the gain or loss arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell;

(ii) increases resulting from purchases;

(iii) decreases attributable to sales;

(iv) decreases resulting from harvest;

(v) increases resulting from business combinations; and

(vi) other changes.

 This reconciliation need not be presented for prior periods.

 34.7A  If an entity measures any individual biological assets at cost in accordance with paragraph 34.6A, it shall explain why fair value cannot be reliably measured. If the fair value of such a biological asset becomes reliably measurable during the current period an entity shall explain why fair value has become reliably measurable and the effect of the change.

 34.7B  An entity shall disclose the methods and significant assumptions applied in determining the fair value at the point of harvest of each class of agricultural produce.

34.5.2 OmniPro comment
34.5.2.1 Overview

Section 34.7 to 34.8 of FRS 102 provides the disclosures where the fair value model is utilised

34.5.2.2 Accounting policies

Example 4: Biological Assets held at fair value
34.5.2.2.1 Extract from accounting policies note for forestry

Biological assets (fair value)

The acquisition of land for forest projects is originally recorded at cost in accordance with Section 17 of FRS 102. Biological assets are stated at fair value, less estimated point of sale costs at each period end. The fair value is determined using the present value of expected net cash flows from the asset, discounted at a current market rate other than for young seedling stands. The fair value of the young seedling stands is the actual reforestation cost of those stands.

The gain or loss in fair value of these biological assets is reported in net profit. The measurement of biological growth in the field is an important element of this valuation. Initially at the start of the plantation cycle the fair value is equal to the standard costs of preparing and maintaining a plantation, including the appropriate cost of capital, assuming efficient operations. Towards the end of the plantation cycle the fair value depends solely on the discounted value of the expected harvest, less estimated point of sale costs. The calculation takes into account the growth potential, environmental restrictions and other reservations of the forests. Felling revenues and maintenance costs are calculated on the basis of actual costs and prices, taking into account the company’s projection of future price development.

Periodic changes resulting from growth, felling, prices, discount rate, costs and other premise changes are included in operating profit in the profit and loss account.

34.5.2.2.2 Extract from accounting policies note for livestock (Extracted from Appendix to IAS 41)

Livestock are measured at their fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of livestock is determined based on market prices of livestock of similar age, breed, and genetic merit. Milk is initially measured at its fair value less costs to sell at the time of milking. The fair value of milk is determined based on market prices in the local area. Changes in fair value are recognised within cost of sales in profit and loss.

34.5.2.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments disclosure

Extract from critical judgements note – forestry

The company owns XX hectares of forest land. Biological assets (i.e. living trees) are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The fair value of biological assets is determined based among other estimates on growth potential, harvesting, price development and discount rate. Changes in any estimates could lead to recognition of significant fair value changes in the profit and loss account.

Biological Assets – Forestry: The pre-tax used in determining fair value in the year was X% (2014:X%). A 1% move in discount rate would affect the fair value by CUXXX. In addition to the discount rate, the growth of the forest stock, and timber prices are other essential assumptions used in valuation. During the year the entity could no longer reliably measure the fair value less cost to sell. As a result the carrying amount at that date was treated as deemed cost and from then these have been carried under the cost model.
