    Assets held for sale

    Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use and a sale is highly probable and expected to complete within one year. For a sale to be highly probable, management need to be committed to a plan to sell the asset and the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

    Assets designated as held for sale are held at the lower of carrying amount at designation and fair value less costs to sell.

    Depreciation is not charged against property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale.
