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.
