When a revalued asset is sold, the related revaluation surplus can be transferred to retained earning in the statement of changes in equity - it can NEVER be recognised directly in profit or loss. Also, the excess depreciation expense each year can be transferred to retained earnings - again in the statement of changes in equity.
