    bpp says:

    1. in an upwards revaluation of the fair value, the valuation is taken to the revaluation surplus account.

    2. “However, if a revaluation surplus is a reversal of a revaluation decrease that was previously charged against income, the increase can be recognized as income”

    am trying to understand #2. Here is an example:

    x1: initial recognition at 300.
    x2: revalued at fair value to 400. this means

    Dr. Intangible Asset 100
    Cr. Reval. surplus 100

    x3: reval. downwards by 150

    Dr. Reval surplus 100
    Dr. Income 50
    Cr. Intangible 150

    x4: reval upwards by 50

    Dr. Intangible 50
    Cr. Income 50

    because there was a previous reversal to the Reval. surplus.

    is this the correct understanding?

    In essence, yes. I seem to think that the initial valuation is better thought of as a devaluation (Dr Profit or Loss Cr TNCA say 100)

    Then revalue upwards by 150

    Dr TNCA 150, Cr Profit or Loss 100, Cr Revaluation Reserve 50

    Ok?
