    Because that’s the rule under IFRS 5. Upon the decision to sell /dispose of the asset, it shall be remeasured to fair value and from then depreciation ceases

    I don’t believe that that’s acceptable. In order for an asset to be classified as AHFS, it shall be actively marketed at a price the company is willing to accept, it shall be available for immediate sale and sale should be highly probable within twelve months.

    The concept of changing this course off action is not acceptable!
