International Accounting Standards
Illustrative Investment Property Financial Statements
Year ended 31 December 2001
This publication by PricewaterhouseCoopers provides an illustrative set of consolidated financial
statements, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards, for a fictitious Investment
Property company. The example disclosures in these illustrative financial statements should not be
considered to be the only acceptable form of presentation. The form and content of the reporting entity’s
financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management, and other forms of presentation which
are equally acceptable may be preferred and adopted, provided they include the specific disclosures
prescribed in International Accounting Standards.
In particular, these financial statements focus on the disclosures required by IAS 40 – Investment Property.
Because of this specific focus, the company illustrated does not have associates, joint ventures, minority
interests, finance leases, intangible assets, government grants, defined benefit plans, derivatives, fixed rate
borrowings, related party transactions, treasury shares, preferred shares, convertible debt and share options.
Further, there were no acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, and no issues of shares in the two years
presented. Please refer to the IAS Illustrative Corporate Financial Statements for disclosures relating to these
items. The company illustrated is listed and therefore disclosures on segments and EPS are included.
These illustrative financial statements are not a substitute for reading the Standards themselves or for
professional judgement as to fairness of presentation. They do not cover all possible disclosures required by
International Accounting Standards, nor do they take account of any specific legal framework. Depending
on the circumstances, further specific information may be required in order to ensure fair presentation under
International Accounting Standards and we recommend that reference is made to our separate publications
‘International Accounting Standards – Illustrative Corporate Financial Statements’ and ‘International
Accounting Standards’ – Disclosure Checklist 2001’. Additional accounting disclosures may be required in
order to comply with local laws and national accounting standards and stock exchange regulations.

International Accounting Standards – Illustrative Investment Property Financial Statements
ABCIP Group – Year ended 31 December 2001
General information
1p102(b) ABCIP Group is an investment property group with a major portfolio in Europe and the Far
East. It is principally involved in leasing out investment property under operating leases and
is also involved in property development.
1p102(a) ABCIP is listed on [name] stock exchange.
Operating and financial review

International Accounting Standards do not address the requirements for information to be included in a
directors’ report or financial review. Generally such requirements are determined by local laws and
regulations.
An investment property group might consider discussing the following subjects:
• The long-term strategic focus for example in terms of business, location of properties, expansion
possibilities and tenant profile.
• The current development of the investment property portfolio in each segment, for example occupancy
level, tenant profile by area occupied, average rent, % of new developed property that has been pre-let.
• A discussion about the financial results for the current period, for example explanation for variations in
the income statement and balance sheet compared with the previous year, analysis of the return on
shareholders’ equity and of the return on each property portfolio, weighted average cost of capital, etc.
• The outlook in the following year considered against the background of likely developments in the
property market.

Accounting policies
1p91(a) The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial
1p97(b) statements are set out below:
A Basis of preparation
1p11 The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
1p97(a) Accounting Standards. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention except that investment property is carried at fair value.
In 2001 the Group adopted IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
and IAS 40 – Investment Property. The Group does not hold derivatives or significant
financial assets. The Group also already complied with the requirements on borrowings.
Thus the adoption of IAS 39 had no effect. The effects of adopting IAS 40 is summarised in
the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity (on page 4), and further
information is disclosed in accounting policy C Investment property.
B Group accounting
(1) Subsidiary undertakings
1p99(b) Subsidiary undertakings, which are those entities in which the Group has an interest of
27p11 more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to exercise control over the
1p99(c) operations, are consolidated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control
is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.
27p17 All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between
group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the group
carrying value cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries
have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(2) Foreign currency translation
1p99(p) Income statements of foreign entities are translated into the Group’s reporting currency at
21p30 the weighted average exchange rates for the year and balance sheets are translated at the
21p17 exchange rates ruling on 31 December. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation
21p19 of the net investment in foreign entities and of financial instruments which are designated as
1p74(b) and are effective hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. On disposal
21p37 of a foreign entity, accumulated exchange differences are recognised in the income
statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.
21p45 Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated
as local currency assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing
rate.
1p99(p) Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date
of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in the income statement.
C Investment property
1p99(h) Property held for long-term rental yields which is not occupied by the companies in the
40p66 (a-b) consolidated Group is classified as investment property.
40p39 [Note: Investment property includes properties that companies in a consolidated group
lease out to an associate or joint venture which occupies the property.]
40p66(c) Investment property comprises freehold land and buildings. Investment property is carried
at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any
difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not
available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as discounted cash flow
projections or recent prices on less active markets. These valuations are reviewed annually
by [name of the external valuers]. Investment property being redeveloped for continuing
use as investment property or for which the market has become less active continues to be
measured at fair value.
40p70(a) Under IAS 40 – Investment Property, which the Group adopted at 1 January 2001, changes
in fair values are recorded in the income statement.
[Note: IAS 40 only permits carrying investment properties at revaluation with gains and
losses taken to income or at cost less depreciation.]
Previously the Group had recorded such fair value changes net of deferred income taxes in
40p72 a revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. The fair value amounts for 2000 were
determined in accordance with IAS 40 and the balance of the revaluation reserve at 1
January 2000 has been reclassified to retained earnings; such amounts are not transferred to
the income statement on the disposal of the investment property. In 2001, the comparative
amounts for the year ended 31 December 2000 have been restated.
40p70(b) [Note: if an entity had disclosed or used fair values that were not on an IAS 40 basis, on
adoption of IAS 40 the comparatives should not be restated.]
Where a building is located on land which is held under operating lease, the building is
accounted for as a separate asset only if the lease of land extends beyond the expected life
of the building and there are no provisions in the lease to return the land with the building
remaining intact. Otherwise, the building is accounted for as an operating lease.
Land held under an operating lease (including such land on which investment property is
located) is accounted for as an operating lease (note 9): where up-front payments for
17p11 operating leases of land are made, these up-front payments are capitalised as non-current
assets and in subsequent periods are presented at amortised cost so as to record a constant
annual charge to the income statement over the lease term. These non-current assets are not
revalued.
40p54 If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and

equipment and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting
purposes of subsequent recording. Property that is being constructed or developed for
future use as investment property is classified as property, plant and equipment and stated
at cost until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified and
subsequently accounted for as investment property.
40p56 If an item of property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property because its use
has changed, any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this
40p56(b) item at the date of transfer is recognised in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and
equipment under IAS 16. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss,
the gain is recognised in the income statement. Upon the disposal of such investment
property, any surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained earnings; the
transfer is not made through the income statement.
D Property, plant and equipment

16p60(a) Property which is occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group is stated at
historical cost less depreciation.
[Note: If it is carried at fair value under IAS 16, then revaluation gains must be reported in
equity and it must still be depreciated and a full year’s depreciation charge included in the
income statement]
16p60(b) Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method to write off the cost of each asset to
1p99(e) their residual values over their estimated useful life as follows:
16p60(c) Land Nil

Buildings 25-40 years
36p58 Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is
written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
1p99(f) All borrowing costs are expensed.
E Goodwill
1p99(c) Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the
Group’s share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary/associated undertaking at the date
of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiary undertakings occurring on or after 1
January 1995 is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is amortised using the straight-line
method over its estimated useful life. Goodwill on acquisitions that occurred prior to 1
January 1995 has been charged in full to retained earnings in shareholders’ equity; such
goodwill has not been retroactively capitalised and amortised.
22p88(a) Goodwill arising on major strategic acquisitions of the Group to expand its portfolio or
geographical market coverage is amortised over a maximum period of 15 years. For all
other acquisitions goodwill is generally amortised over 5 years. [Where in rare
22p88(b) circumstances goodwill is amortised over a period exceeding 20 years, the Group should
disclose the specific reasons including describing the factor(s) that played a significant role
in determining the useful life of the goodwill.]
The gain or loss on disposal of an entity includes the unamortised balance of goodwill
relating to the entity disposed of or, for pre 1 January 1995 acquisitions, the goodwill
charged to equity.
F Leases
(1) A group company is the lessee
SIC-15p5 The Group leases land under various long-term operating leases. Up-front payments made
17p11,25 under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are capitalised as
prepaid operating lease payments and subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over
the period of the lease. Otherwise, recurring lease payments are charged to the income
statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The Group does not hold any
assets under finance leases.
(2) A group company is the lessor
1p99(j) Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment property in the
32p47(b) balance sheet (Note 8). The Group does not lease assets out under finance leases.
G Inventories
40p51(b) Investment properties being developed for future sale are reclassified as inventories. They
2p5,34(a) are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less cost to complete redevelopment and
selling expenses.
H Trade receivables
39p73 Trade receivables are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for
1p99(i) doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad
32p47(b) debts are written off when identified.
I Cash and cash equivalents

39p66, 73 Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purposes of the
7p46 cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at
1p99(r) call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments, and bank overdrafts. In the
balance sheet, bank overdrafts are included in borrowings in current liabilities.
J Share capital
32p47(b) (1) Ordinary shares are classified as equity. External costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares, other than on a business combination, are shown as a deduction, net of tax, in equity
from the proceeds. Share issue costs incurred directly in connection with a business
combination are included in the cost of acquisition.
10p11 (2) Dividends are accounted for when they have been proposed and declared. They are
31p30 charged to equity.
K Borrowings
32p47(b) Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs
39p66,93 incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective
yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the
redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.
L Deferred income taxes

1p99(m) Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements. The principal temporary difference is between the fair values of
12p46 investment property and the tax base. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the
balance sheet date are used to determine deferred income tax.
12p24 Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
M Pensions
1p99(o) The Group operates a number of defined contribution plans throughout the world, the
assets of which are generally held in separate trustee-administered funds. The pension plans
are generally funded by payments from employees and by the relevant Group companies,
taking account of the recommendations of independent qualified actuaries.
1p99(o) The Group’s contributions to defined contribution pension plans are charged to the
19p46 income statement in the period to which the contributions relate.
N Provisions
1p99(n) Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as
a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group
expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain.
O Revenue
1p99(a) Revenue includes gross rental income, service charges and management charges from
18p35(a) properties and income from property trading. Revenue is recorded on an accrual basis.

12p81(c) The tax on the Group’s profit before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using
the tax rate of the home country of the Company as follows:
2001 2000
Profit before tax 25,583 23,531
Tax calculated at a tax rate of 30% (2000 : 30%) 7,675 7,059

Income not subject to tax (1,654) (1,087)
Different tax rates (166) (70)
Tax charge 6,056 6,152
12p51 The different tax rates are mainly due to the use of the capital gain tax rate (20% in 2000 and
2001) to compute deferred tax on the change in fair value of investment property.
6 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
2001 2000
33p49(a) Net profit attributable to shareholders (LC 000) 19,527 17,379

33p49(b) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (thousands) 40,000 40,000
33p47 Basic earnings per share (LC per share) 0.49 0.43
The Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares, therefore the diluted earnings per share is
the same as the basic earnings per share.
7 Dividend
1p85 At the Annual General Meeting on [date] 2002, a dividend in respect of 2001 of LC 0.31 per
1p74(c) share amounting to a total dividend of LC 12,400 is to be proposed. These financial
statements do not reflect this dividend payable, which will be accounted for in
shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31
December 2002. The dividends declared in respect of 2000 and 1999 were, respectively,
LC 16,373 and LC 11,379.

The Group acquired in November 2001 a property in Hong Kong for LC 5,567, which has
been rented out since December 2001.
40p51(e) In July 2001, the Group completed the construction of the 5 Star ABCIP Hotel located in
France and reclassified this item from property, plant and equipment (Note 10) to
investment property.
40p51(a) A warehouse in the United Kingdom, previously leased out under an operating lease, has
been used for administration purposes from April 2001 and was therefore reclassified from
investment property to property, plant and equipment (Note 10).
40p51(b) An office building located in Switzerland was redeveloped in 2001 prior to sale. It was
reclassified from July 2001 from investment property to inventories (Note 12). It was sold on
10p20 31 January 2002 for LC 29,567, yielding a gain on disposal of LC 4,222.
An investment property located in Hong Kong was sold in July 2001 for LC 12,644 yielding
a gain on disposal of LC 2,080.
In Singapore, the Group owns a shopping centre which is situated on land held under an
operating lease (Note 9). As the expected life of the building (60 years) is shorter than the
long-term operating lease (99 years) and there is no provision for ABCIP to return the
building at the end of the lease, this property is recorded as a separate asset at fair value.
17p11 The prepaid operating lease payments on the land are recorded separately at amortised cost
(Note 9).
There were no additions, disposals or transfers of investment property in 2000.
Bank borrowings are secured on investment property to the value of LC 174,395

(2000: LC 155,307) (Note 15).
40p66(c) The Group’s investment properties were revalued at 31 December 2001 by independent
professionally qualified valuers. Valuations were based on current prices on an active
market for all properties except for the properties located in [name of country] because this
information is not available there. For these properties the Group used discounted cash flow
projections.
40p66(f) At 31 December 2001, the Group had unprovided contractual obligations for future repairs
and maintenance of LC 3,765 (2000: LC 3,796).
40p66(d)(iii) In the income statement direct operating expenses include LC 456 (2000: LC 412) relating
to investment property that was unlet.

Trade payables are interest free and have settlement dates within one year.
15 Borrowings
39p169(b) All the Group’s borrowings are at floating rates of interest. The Group takes on exposure to the
effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and
cash flows. Interest costs may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce or create losses
in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board has decided that the Group should not
be exposed to changes in fair values of borrowings.
[As mentioned earlier these illustrative financial statements do not include fixed rate borrowings
or derivatives. Where such arrangements exist, further disclosures are required under IAS 39.
Please refer to Note 22 and Note 28 of the IAS Illustrative Corporate Financial Statements]

16 Deferred income taxes

Deferred income taxes are calculated in full on temporary differences under the liability method
using a principal corporate tax rate of 30% (2000: 30%).
The movement on the deferred income tax account is as follows:

12p74 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enf orceable
right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income
taxes relate to the same fiscal authority. The following amounts, determined after
appropriate offsetting, are shown in the consolidated balance sheet:
2001 2000

Report of the auditors

To the Members of ABCIP
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ABCIP (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group)
as of 31 December 2001 and the related income and cash flow statements for the year then ended. These
financial statements set out on pages 3 to 22 are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of [or ‘present fairly in all material respects’]
the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2001 and of the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Accounting Standards.
Date
Address
The format of the audit report will need to be tailored to reflect the legal framework of particular countries.
In certain countries the audit report covers both the current year and the comparative year.
