3.3.5.4 Investment Properties<br />
Investment properties are properties held ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both<br />
but not for sale in <strong>the</strong> ordinary course of business, used in <strong>the</strong> production or supply of goods or services or<br />
for administrative purposes.<br />
Investment property is recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are associated with<br />
<strong>the</strong> investment property will flow <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group and cost of <strong>the</strong> investment property can be reliably measured.<br />
An investment property is measured initially at its cost. The cost of a purchased investment property<br />
comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. The cost of a self-constructed<br />
investment property is its cost at <strong>the</strong> date when <strong>the</strong> construction or development is completed. The <strong>Bank</strong><br />
applies <strong>the</strong> cost model for investment properties in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 40 -<br />
‘Investment Property’ (Revised 2005). Accordingly, land classified as investment properties are stated at<br />
cost and buildings classified as investment properties are stated at cost, less any accumulated depreciation<br />
and any accumulated impairment losses. Fair values of <strong>the</strong>se properties are disclosed in Note 27 <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong>. <strong>Seylan</strong> Developments PLC, <strong>the</strong> subsidiary of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>, applies <strong>the</strong> fair value model<br />
in accordance with <strong>the</strong> above standard. Accordingly, investment properties are stated at fair value and an<br />
external independent valuation company having an appropriate recognised professional qualification values<br />
<strong>the</strong> portfolio every three-year period. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in<br />
profit or loss. Adjustment for non-uniform accounting policy is reported in Note 50.<br />
Investment properties are derecognised when disposed of, or permanently withdrawn from use because<br />
no future economic benefits are expected.<br />
When an item of Property, Plant & Equipment is transferred <strong>to</strong> investment property following a change in its<br />
use, any differences arising at <strong>the</strong> date of transfer between <strong>the</strong> carrying amount of <strong>the</strong> item immediately prior<br />
<strong>to</strong> transfer and its fair value are recognised directly in equity if it is a gain. Upon disposal of <strong>the</strong> item <strong>the</strong> gain<br />
is transferred <strong>to</strong> retained earnings. Any loss arising in this manner is recognised in profit or loss immediately.<br />
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as Property, Plant & Equipment and<br />
its fair value at <strong>the</strong> date of reclassification becomes its deemed cost for subsequent accounting.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> Company begins <strong>to</strong> redevelop an existing investment property for continued future use as<br />
investment property, <strong>the</strong> property remains an investment property, which is measured, based on fair value<br />
model, and is not reclassified as Property, Plant & Equipment during <strong>the</strong> redevelopment.<br />
A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property on<br />
a property-by-property basis when <strong>the</strong> Company holds it <strong>to</strong> earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.<br />
Any such property interest under an operating lease classified as an investment property is carried at fair<br />
value. Lease payments are accounted for as described in accounting policy 3.5.11 below.<br />
Any property leased out <strong>to</strong> parent or subsidiary is considered as owner-occupied from <strong>the</strong> perspective of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Group and adjustments are made for consolidated purposes and changes are disclosed in <strong>Notes</strong> 29 and<br />
30 <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statements</strong>.
