International financial reporting standards (IFRS) treatment A discontinued operation must meet two criteria. First, the asset or business component must be disposed of or reported as being held for sale. Second, the component must be distinguishable as a separate business that is being removed from operation intentionally or a subsidiary of a component being held with the intent to sell.
NET INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The amount shown on the income statement under discontinued operations is the profit or loss made during the current period from business lines or units that will not be a part of the company in the future.
Case: A company sells 20 different models of telephones, and the products are divided into 2 separate business units: Rotary Phone Business Unit and the Wireless Phone Business Unit. Each of the business units sells 10 models of telephones, and each model is clearly defined into their respective business units. The telephone industry has advanced greatly over the years, and the company has experienced a major decline in sales as well as deteriorating profit margins within the Rotary Phone Business Unit. This is attributed to aging technology, and the fact that wireless phone technology has become much more affordable to the overall market.
As a result, the board of directors and management of the company have decided to sell or dispose of all aspects of the Rotary Phone Business Unit. They’ve made the strategic decision to only focus on the Wireless Phone Business Unit, and all aspects of Rotary Phone Business Unit, including all 10 models of telephones within the business unit are considered discontinued. The company will disclose this information within the financial statements, and the company will clearly define all financial impacts of the Rotary Phone Business Unit within the discontinued activities section of the financial statements (including impacts to the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss statement).
