    The Phoenix brand was purchased 10 years ago for $100,000. It was attributed
    an indefinite useful economic life and has therefore not been amortised. No
    impairments have been charged to-date. The directors believe that recognizing the
    brand at cost materially under-states the value of the business and therefore
    misleads the shareholders and lenders. The directors have prudently valued the
    brand at $3 million and wish to recognise this value in the statement of financial
    position as at 31 December 20X1.

    Is this an intangible asset?

    Welcome to my forum – but this is the EPSM forum – not a financial reporting forum.

    A purchased brand is (of course) an intangible asset – but it cannot be revalued (IAS 38) because it is unique – so it doesn’t have an active market.
