Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When a component's fate is sealed
And management has made the deal
To sell or close what once was core
IFRS Five opens up the door
The asset group must meet the test
Available for sale at best
Within twelve months from classification
No delays or hesitation

[Chorus]
Hold for sale, hold for sale
Fair value less costs, tell the tale
Discontinued operations sing
Separate the cash flows bring
HALTS the rule, HALTS the way
Highly probable sale today
Stop depreciation now
IFRS Five shows us how

[Verse 2]
Highly probable means the plan
Is committed by those who can
Price is reasonable for its state
Marketing has set the date
Unlikely that significant change
Will come to disrupt or rearrange
Actions required to complete
Make the classification neat

[Chorus]
Hold for sale, hold for sale
Fair value less costs, tell the tale
Discontinued operations sing
Separate the cash flows bring
HALTS the rule, HALTS the way
Highly probable sale today
Stop depreciation now
IFRS Five shows us how

[Bridge]
Measure at the lower amount
Carrying value or fair discount
Less the costs to sell away
Review each reporting day
If impaired then recognize
The loss before our eyes
But reversals can come back
Just keep it on the track

[Verse 3]
Discontinued operations show
Major line of business go
Separate geographical zone
Or subsidiary on its own
Part of single coordinated plan
To dispose of business span
Present it separately clear
In the statements we revere

[Chorus]
Hold for sale, hold for sale
Fair value less costs, tell the tale
Discontinued operations sing
Separate the cash flows bring
HALTS the rule, HALTS the way
Highly probable sale today
Stop depreciation now
IFRS Five shows us how

[Outro]
From continuing operations apart
Discontinued plays its part
Classify, measure, and disclose
That's how IFRS Five flows
