Hilary Eastman is a director in Duff & Phelps’ Office of Professional Practice, where she provides firm-wide technical guidance on a variety of valuation, financial reporting and tax reporting issues. Hilary recently re-joined Duff & Phelps’ after spending nearly 7 years at the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Hilary is based in the London office, promoting the firm's IFRS education efforts and marketing initiatives, as well dealing with IFRS implementation issues.
At the IASB Hilary led the joint IASB-FASB fair value measurement project that led to the issuance of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and ASU 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Hilary presented complex fair value measurement topics to the IASB and the FASB for their consideration in developing converged guidance. She has also been involved in the development of the IFRS Foundation's educational material on fair value measurement, the project to revise IFRS 3 Business Combinations in 2008, and the IASB’s Expert Advisory Panel on measuring fair value when markets have become inactive.
Hilary became the IASB’s Senior Manager, Investor Liaison upon the completion of IFRS 13. In that role she worked with the investor community to ensure that they understood the implications of the IASB’s work on their analysis of financial statements. She also worked to ensure that the IASB understood the information needs of investors and analysts. In addition, she managed the IASB’s investor group, the Capital Markets Advisory Committee.
In her role at the IASB, Hilary regularly presented at conferences globally, including in the United States, Europe and Asia, both for the IFRS Foundation and for third parties, on the topics of fair value measurement, financial instruments and the IASB’s investor outreach activities.
Before joining the IASB, Hilary was part of Duff & Phelps’ Valuation Advisory Services business unit, focusing on clients’ valuation needs, primarily for financial reporting or tax purposes. She spent over six years providing valuation and tax services to clients in Europe, the United States and Australasia, many of which were multinational. Hilary has conducted numerous business and asset valuations for a variety of purposes, including purchase price allocations, goodwill impairment testing and mergers and acquisitions. She has been involved in multiple valuation assignments for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceutical, information technology and industrial manufacturing.
Hilary received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in finance from San Diego State University. She is also a CFA charterholder and a member of CFA Institute and CFA Society of the UK, and is a member of the CFA Society of the UK’s Financial Reporting and Analysis Committee.

Section
Will be most relevant for companies with:
• M&A activity (fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities)
• Revalued assets (eg PP&E, land, investment properties)
• Impairments of assets when recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs
of disposal
• Financial assets and liabilities
Some of the biggest changes are for disclosures:
• Disclosure by three-level hierarchy
• Qualitative sensitivity analysis
• Quantitative disclosure for Level 3 inputs
IFRS 13 Will Affect Some Companies More than Others
Duff & Phelps 6 18 April 2013
In general, the new (and more explicit) measurement guidance
will require more support for the assumptions made
General Fair Value Measurement
Principles
Section 1
From 1 January 2013, IFRS 13 Applies to all Fair Values
in IFRSs (with a few exceptions)
8 18 April 2013
• IFRSs that require or permit fair
value measurements
• IFRSs that require or permit
disclosures about fair values
• Fair value less costs to sell and fair
value less costs of disposal
• Disclosures for subsequent fair
value measurements
• Share-based payments
• Leases
• Measurements similar to fair
value (such as net realisable
value for inventories, value in use
for impairment testing and the
measurement of provisions and
contingent liabilities)
• Goodwill and other impairment
disclosures
• Retirement benefits and
employee benefits disclosures
The standard applies to:* The standard does not apply to:
Duff & Phelps
* In the first year of application, comparative periods do not need to be restated.
Fair Value Defined – Now Identical to US GAAP
Duff & Phelps 9 18 April 2013
The amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing
parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Is the entity buying or selling
the asset?
What is meant by settling
the liability?
Market-based or entity-
specific?
When does the exchange
or settlement take place?
The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The entity is selling
the asset
The entity is
transferring the
liability
It is clearly market-
based
The sale or
transfer takes
place on a specific
date
Exit Price Concept: Clear market-based,
sale-focused objective
Highest and Best Use / Valuation Premise
Now Explicit: Current use versus alternative
uses
Liabilities / Own Equity: Fair value of
corresponding asset if there is one
Bid-ask Spread: No longer only bid for
assets and ask for liabilities
Three-level Hierarchy of Inputs: Prioritises
use of relevant observable market data
New Disclosures: Particularly for Level 3—
models using unobservable inputs
The Unit of Account in other IFRSs Determines
What is Valued
Standard What Unit of account
IFRS 3 Business Combinations Identifiable assets acquired The individual asset
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets Cash-generating unit The individual CGU
IAS 40 Investment Property Investment property
building
The individual building, comprising the
building and the associated lease
contracts
IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement
Financial asset The individual financial asset
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements
Investment in a subsidiary Tentative IASB decision:
Investment as a whole, not the individual
instruments making up the investment
Duff & Phelps 10 18 April 2013
• The IFRS that requires or permits the fair value measurement specifies the
asset or liability to be valued (the “unit of account”). For example:
The Exit Transaction Takes Place in the Principal Market
Duff & Phelps 11 18 April 2013
Is there a market that has the
greatest volume and level of
activity for the asset or
liability?
Which market maximises the
amount that would be
received to sell the asset
and minimises the amount
that would be paid to
transfer the liability?
That is the principal market
and its price must be used: Price 50
Transport costs 3
Fair Value 47
Market B is not the most
advantageous market
No Yes
Market

Market A is the most

Transaction costs 4
Net proceeds 43
Market Participants Transact in the Principal Market
• Market participants act in their economic best interest in a transaction for the unit of
account
• Identifying characteristics of market participants who would transact for the asset or
liability is fundamental to the determination of fair value
Duff & Phelps 12 18 April 2013
Independent of each other
Knowledgeable and sufficiently informed about the asset or liability and the
transaction
Able to enter into a transaction for the asset or
liability
Willing to enter into a transaction for the asset or
liability (not forced)
Market participants
Fair Value Reflects the Highest and Best use of an Asset
• Highest and best use is usually (but not always) the current use by the entity
• An asset either provides maximum value through its use:
– In combination with other assets and liabilities as a group; or
– On a stand-alone basis
• Highest and best use does not apply to financial instruments or liabilities
Duff & Phelps 13 18 April 2013
The use of an asset by market participants that would maximise the value of the asset that is:
Physically possible
Legally permissible
Financially feasible
Example
Assessing Highest and Best Use • A building is used as a factory but is in a newly residential area. Other industrial
and commercial buildings have been converted into residential use in the area
• Based on expected future cash flows from use as a factory, the company
estimates a value of EUR 20m. However, the building could be sold for conversion
to residential property for EUR 21m, incurring transaction costs of EUR 1.5m.
Prior to sale, the building would require repairs costing EUR 0.5m to return site to
safe for human dwelling
• What is the fair value of the building?
1. EUR 19m
2. EUR 19.5m
3. EUR 20.5m
4. EUR 21m
14 Duff & Phelps
Example continued
Assessing Highest and Best Use
3. EUR 20.5m
• “Highest and best use” is the highest value achieved through either current or
alternative use
• The value is calculated net of repair cost but do not include transaction costs
15 Duff & Phelps
The Valuation Technique used Depends on the Availability of
Data and its Ability to Reflect the Economic Characteristics
Valuation technique Description Example
Market Approach Uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving
identical or comparable (ie similar) assets,
liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such
as a business
Market comparable method
Can be used only if observable
market prices for the same or
similar assets and liabilities are
available
Income Approach Convert future amounts (eg cash flows or
income and expenses) to a single current (ie
discounted) amount using current market
expectations about those future amounts
Discounted cash flow method
Can be used only if there are
directly identifiable cash flows
Cost Approach Reflects the amount that would be required
currently to replace the service capacity of an
asset
Current replacement cost or
current reproduction cost
Used for assets that do not
have observable market prices
and are not income producing
Duff & Phelps 16 18 April 2013
The Three-Level Fair Value Hierarchy Indicates the Relative
Level of Subjectivity of the Measurement
• Must maximise relevant observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2), minimise unobservable
inputs (Level 3)
• The level in the fair value hierarchy of the fair value measurement in its entirety
depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement
Duff & Phelps 17 18 April 2013
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
• Quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets
and liabilities
• Must be used without
adjustment whenever
available
• Market approach
• Inputs other than
quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset
or liability
• Market approach, income approach, cost approach
• Inputs other than
quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset
or liability
• Market approach, income
approach, cost approach
• Inputs other than quoted
prices included within
Level 1 that are
observable for the asset
or liability
• Market approach, income
approach, cost approach
• Inputs for the asset or
liability that are not
observable (but still must
be consistent with
assumptions market
participants would make)
• Quoted prices in active
markets for identical
assets and liabilities
• Must be used without
adjustment whenever
available
• Market approach
• Inputs other than quoted
prices included within
Level 1 that are
observable for the asset
or liability
Example
Fair Value Hierarchy • How would you categorise the measurement of the units in the following
investment funds?
Unit 1
• A unit in an investment fund is quoted
in an active market. However the
underlying investments are in
unquoted equities that would be
categorised within Level 3 in the fair
value hierarchy
Unit 2
• A unit in a non-quoted investment
fund which only invests in financial
assets quoted in active markets. No
adjustments are made to the quoted
prices when arriving at the value of the
fund
Unit 1 Unit 2
1. Level 1 Level 1
2. Level 1 Level 2
3. Level 2 Level 1
4. Level 3 Level 2
18 Duff & Phelps
Example continued
Fair value hierarchy
2. Level 1 and Level 2
Unit 1
• Level 1
• This is because the fund’s units
are quoted in an active market.
Unit 2
• Level 2
• Although the fund’s investments are
quoted, the fund’s own units are
not quoted
• However the fund’s units may be
appraised indirectly, using the
quoted fund’s investments
19 Duff & Phelps
The Fair Value of a Liability Generally equals the Fair Value of
the Corresponding Asset
Is there an observable market price
to transfer the liability?
Does somebody hold the
corresponding asset?
Fair value =
observable market
price of liability
Fair value = fair value of
the corresponding asset
Is there an observable
market price for the liability
traded as an asset?
Fair value = another
valuation technique
No Yes
Yes No
Yes
Fair value =
observable market
price of asset
No
Fair value = another

Adapted from IASB “Fair Value measurement” webcast on 23 May 2011
18 April 2013 Duff & Phelps
e.g. decommissioning obligation e.g. financial debt
e.g. derivative
This diagram also applies to an
entity’s own equity instruments
The Transaction Price is Often Presumed to equal Fair Value
21
Potential differences between
transaction price and fair value Example
Transactions between related parties Need to verify whether transaction was at arm’s length
Seller under duress If seller is experiencing financial difficulties, need to verify
whether price paid or received reflects an orderly transaction
Different unit of account • Buy asset in one form, modify it and sell it in another form
• Buy group of assets, recognise a separate individual asset
(eg business combination)
• Over or under payment relative to fair value (eg bargain
purchase in business combination; may be entity-specific)
Different markets • Retail versus dealer market
• Bid-ask spread differences
18 April 2013 Duff & Phelps
• The recognition of ‘day 1’ gains or losses is determined by other IFRSs
• Calibration to observable market data is required
Application to IFRS 3
Business Combinations
Section 2
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed are Measured
at their Acquisition-date Fair Values
What is the same? • Requirement to prioritise observable
market prices
• Focus on using market participant
assumptions
• Emphasis on use of asset by market
participants (highest and best use)
What has changed? • Exit price focus for the asset or
liability
• Reference to principal (or most
advantageous) market
• Incorporating non-performance risk
into the measurement of liabilities
assumed
Duff & Phelps 23 18 April 2013
• Disclosures about business combinations are covered by IFRS 3, not IFRS 13
Changes for the Fair Value of Consideration Transferred,
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
Asset or liability What to be aware of when applying IFRS 13
Intangible assets Characteristics of market participants and assessing how they
would use the asset
Inventories Unit of account and determining principal market
PP&E (including investment property) Relationship between valuation premise and assessment of
economic obsolescence
Non-financial liabilities (e.g.
decommissioning obligation, contingent
liabilities and contingent consideration)
Incorporate compensation market participants would demand for
taking on the obligation
Consider effect of non-performance risk (including credit risk)
Should be the same as fair value of corresponding asset if there
is one
Financial assets, financial liabilities, pre-
existing interest in a step acquisition and
non-controlling interest
See changes to IAS 39
Duff & Phelps 24 18 April 2013
Example
What if an Asset’s Current Use is not its Highest and Best Use?
• Entity A acquires land in a business combination (or is using the revaluation model in
IAS 16)
• The land is currently being used as a site for a factory
• Nearby sites have recently been developed for residential use as sites for high-rise
apartment buildings
• Entity A determines that its land could be developed as a site for residential use
because there is evidence that market participants would take into account the potential
to do so when pricing the land
• The highest and best use of the land would be determined by comparing:
the value of the land as currently used as a site for a factory (valuation premise
for all assets in the group is to be used in combination with other assets), with
the value of the land as a vacant site for residential use—assuming the factory is
demolished (valuation premise for all assets in the group is to be used on a
standalone basis)
Duff & Phelps 25 18 April 2013
Example continued
What if an Asset’s Current Use is not its Highest and Best Use?
• The valuation premise says that all assets within the asset group must be valued
on a consistent basis
All are used in combination with other assets or all are used on a standalone
basis
• For the highest and best use not to be the current use, two things must happen:
The costs to convert the land to its alternative use must not be prohibitive (ie
ensure that financial feasibility criterion is met)
The increase in value of the land in its alternative use must overshadow the
sum of the decrease in standalone values of the other assets within the
group
• If those things happen, are the other assets within the group (eg the factory)
impaired?
Duff & Phelps 26 18 April 2013
Application to IAS 36
Impairment of Assets
Section 3
An Asset is Impaired if its Carrying Amount is More Than
its Recoverable Amount
What is the same? • Priority for observable prices when
available
• Fair value reflects current market
conditions
• CGU concept is consistent with
valuation premise concept for asset
groupings
What has changed? • There is no longer a requirement to
use bid prices
• Fair value reflects an orderly
transaction regardless of the entity’s
situation
• Explicit reference to the asset’s
highest and best use
Duff & Phelps 28 18 April 2013
• Disclosures about impaired assets are covered by IAS 36, not IFRS 13

Application to IAS 40
Investment Property
Section 4
An Entity May Remeasure its Investment Properties at
Fair Value
What is the same? • Focus on market participant
assumptions
• Focus on current market conditions
• Emphasis on orderly and arm’s length
transaction
• Priority given to observable market
prices, but other inputs may be used
• Fair value reflects rental income from
current leases
What has changed? • Explicit reference to highest and best
use and valuation premise, and those
assumptions will need to be
supported
Duff & Phelps 30 18 April 2013
• Be careful not to double-count items that are other assets or liabilities, not the
investment property asset
• IFRS 13 did not change reliability threshold
Application to IAS 39
Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement
Section 5
Financial Instruments are Measured at Fair Value Initially
and, in Some Cases, Subsequently
What is the same? • Focus on exit price
• Emphasis on market participant
assumptions
• Focus on current market conditions
• Priority on observable market prices
• Measurement on a net basis if there are
offsetting market risks
• Incorporating non-performance risk
• Fair value at initial recognition is
normally the same as transaction price
– Day 1 gains or losses prohibited
unless model uses only observable
market data
– Calibrate to observable market data
• Transaction costs not part of fair value
• No block discounts
What has changed? • Principal market focus, not most
advantageous active market
• No longer bid for assets and ask for
liabilities
• Additional guidance on measuring fair
value when markets have become
inactive
• Additional disclosures now required
Duff & Phelps 32 18 April 2013
• Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are now in IFRS 13, not
IFRS 7
Financial Instruments can be Valued on a Net Basis if Risk-
Managed on a Net Basis
• Previous guidance allowed net measurement for offsetting market risks, but not
explicitly about counterparty credit risk
• Market risk:
– Risk(s) must be substantially the same
– Duration of instruments leading to exposure to market risk must be substantially
the same
• Counterparty credit risk:
– Must have arrangement to mitigate credit risk in place
– Reflects both credit valuation adjustments (CVA) and debit valuation adjustments
(DVA)
• Net measurement does not apply to presentation (value must be allocated to
individual instrument unit of account)
• IASB will be discussing interaction between portfolio exception and other
measurement requirements in IFRS 13 (including how to treat instruments with Level
1 inputs and block discounts)
Duff & Phelps 33 18 April 2013
The Valuation Technique and Inputs must Reflect the
Characteristics of the Asset or Liability
• Sometimes a premium or discount must be applied to reflect those characteristics:
– Any premium or discount applied must be consistent with characteristics of asset
or liability and the unit of account
– Need to be careful not to double-count or omit value (eg do not adjust for control if
the price already reflects its value)
Duff & Phelps 34 18 April 2013
Is there Level 1 input available
for the asset or liability?
Would market participants
incorporate a premium or
discount in a transaction for
the asset or liability?
It must be used without
adjustment FV = Level 1 price x quantity held
Fair value reflects
a premium or
discount
Fair value does not
reflect a premium or
discount
No Yes
Yes No
• No block discounts (they are a characteristic of the holding, not of the asset itself)
Fair Value of Unquoted Equity Instruments
• IFRS 9 removed cost exemption that was in IAS 39
– An entity was precluded from measuring an
unquoted equity instrument at fair value if its fair
value was not reliably measurable
– IASB concluded that unquoted equity instruments
can be measured reliably
– However, there were concerns about:
» What approaches were appropriate and
acceptable under IFRS
» What to do if limited information is available, such
as sometimes in emerging markets
• Material focuses on IFRS 9 but much of it is applicable
for IAS 39 and IFRS 10

Choosing a valuation technique
• Valuation techniques used should use least subjective adjustments (i.e. maximise
observable market data)
• However, IFRS 13 acknowledges that one or several valuation techniques may be
more appropriate depending on facts and circumstances
Duff & Phelps 37 18 April 2013
Choice of valuation method
depends on:
Information
availability
Market
conditions
Investment
horizon
Stage of the life
cycle
Industry
• Existence of market
references
• Availability of cash
flow projections
• Etc.
• Bullish markets

Calibrating valuation techniques
Fair value reflects market conditions at the measurement date
• At initial recognition:
– Calibrate the valuation technique to the transaction price using available (and
relevant) market data
• In subsequent periods:
– Assess how changes in market conditions affect observable and unobservable
inputs to determine whether the fair value has changed
Duff & Phelps 38 18 April 2013
Examples of calibration at initial recognition:
Set DCF result equal to transaction price
Set results from the market approach equal to transaction price (ie calibrating
both multiples and any premium/discount applied)
Application to IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements
Section 6
From 1 January 2014, Investment Entities Must Measure
their Subsidiaries at Fair Value
• Fundamental change to consolidation rules in IFRSs
– Investment entity subsidiaries (controlled investments) no longer consolidated
– Users told IASB that fair value information is more useful
• Resulting measurement questions:
– Is the unit of account the “investment in the subsidiary” or the individual
instruments comprising that investment?
– If the unit of account is the investment, how to reconcile the requirement in IFRS
13 to use Level 1 inputs whenever available?
• Investment entities are subject to disclosures in IFRS 13
Duff & Phelps 40 18 April 2013
The Unit of Account is not Always Clear
Standard What Unit of account
IAS 27 Separate Financial

Investment in a subsidiary The investment as a whole or the
individual financial assets per IAS 39 and

similar investors)
The investment as a whole or the
individual financial assets per IAS 39 and

Does IAS 39/IFRS 9 or the standard initially requiring the fair value
measurement determine the unit of account?
18 April 2013 Duff & Phelps
Example
Fair Value of Debt When Valuing a Controlling Equity Interest
• Assume Entity A has a controlling equity interest in Entity B
• Assume the terms of Entity B’s debt (e.g. bank debt) require that it be repaid at par
upon a change in control (i.e. it has a “change in control provision”)
• The following values have been determined for Entity B:
• If Equity Value = Enterprise Value – Debt Value:
– Is the fair value of a controlling interest in the equity $50 or $55?
– In other words, does the value of the debt assume that the change in control
provision has been triggered and that it is repaid on the valuation date?
Duff & Phelps 42 18 April 2013
Enterprise Value $150
Debt par value 100
Debt fair value 95
Example continued
Fair Value of Debt When Valuing a Controlling Equity Interest
Fair value
of equity
Value of
debt Rationale
View
A
$50 Par value Assumes the change in control provision has been triggered:
• Fair value is an exit price and an exit (sale) of a controlling interest in the
equity would trigger the change in control provision at the measurement
date.
• A market participant buyer of the equity instruments would not pay $55 to
acquire them if it would only receive $50 to sell its interest on the
measurement date.
View
B
$55 Fair value Assumes the change in control provision has not been triggered:
• Although fair value is an exit price, it reflects the sale of an asset or
transfer (not settlement) of a liability with the characteristics that exist on
the measurement date. One of the characteristics of the debt is that it has
a change in control provision that has not been triggered—because an
actual change in control has not yet happened.
• The fair value of the debt reflects the existence of the change in control
provision and market participant expectations about the likelihood and
timing of an actual change in control.
• Economically, why would the equity holder sell the equity and repay the
debt today for $100 if they could wait until the debt matures and repay the
debt at that time for $100, which is worth $95 today?
Duff & Phelps 43 18 April 2013
Fair Value Disclosures Section 7
More Consistent and Transparent Information
About Fair Values
What is the same? • Financial instruments
– Three-level hierarchy
– Transfers between levels
– Level 3 reconciliation
– Quantitative sensitivity analysis
– Key inputs used in valuation
• Non-financial assets and liabilities
– Methods and assumptions used
– Use of market prices vs models
– Reconciliations of beginning and ending balances
What has changed? • Three-level hierarchy for all fair values
• Guidance for disaggregation by class
• Qualitative sensitivity analysis
• Explicit quantitative disclosure for Level 3 inputs
• Valuation processes
– IAS 16 and IAS 40 already required disclosure of use of independent valuer
• Whether highest and best use is not current use, and why
• Information about fair values disclosed but not recognised
• Accounting policy for using portfolio exception
• Existence of third-party guarantees
