The asset is available for immediate sale and sale is highly probable.
HIGHLY PROBABLE MEANS:

The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or
disposal group)
An active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated
The asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is
reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year
from the date of classification

only if the one-year requirement in is met, and

acquisition (3 months)
NCA HELD FOR SALE REQUIREMENTS MET AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

financial statements when issued.
When those criteria are met after the reporting period but before the authorization of the
financial statements for issue, the entity shall make appropriate disclosures
NONCURRENT ASSETS TO BE ABANDONED
An entity shall not classify as held for sale a non-current asset (or disposal group) that is to
be abandoned. This is because its carrying amount will be recovered principally through
continuing use.
An entity shall not account for a non-current asset that has been temporarily taken out of
use as if it had been abandoned.

When the sale is expected to occur beyond one year, the entity shall measure the costs to
sell at their present value.
Gains for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of an asset is recognized,
but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized.
An entity shall not depreciate (or amortize) a non-current asset while it is classified as held
for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale.
CHANGE IN CLASSIFICATION
Measured at the lower of:

a) Its carrying amount before the asset (or disposal group) was classified as held for
sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or revaluations that would
have been recognized had the asset (or disposal group) not been classified as held
for sale, and
b) Its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell
The entity shall include any required adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-current
asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale in profit or loss from continuing
operations in the period the NCA ceases to be classified as held for sale.
