FAQ

Key Takeaways. In an asset sale, a firm sells some or all of its actual assets, either tangible or intangible. The seller retains legal ownership of the company that has sold the assets but has no further recourse to the sold assets. The buyer assumes no liabilities in an asset sale.

Continuity is generally maintained as contracts remain in place, subject to change of control provisions, which need to be considered. The company that owns the assets will conclude the sale (subject to director approval) and individual shareholder consent is not required (unless there is a shareholders' agreement).

In an asset sale, the ownership of these acquired assets would change hands, with the buyer negotiating separately for each asset. In a stock sale, ownership of such assets does not change hands in the same way. The target still retains its ownership typically, even if the target has a new owner.

How to record disposal of assets Calculate the asset's depreciation amount. The first step is to ensure you have the accurate value of the asset recorded at the time of its disposal. Record the sale amount of the asset. Credit the asset. Remove all instances of the asset from other books. Confirm the accuracy of your work.

A held for sale asset is shown on the Statement of Financial Position as a current asset. When the asset is reclassified, depreciation or amortization ceases because it is no longer being held as a productive asset with future benefit beyond its recoverable amount.
