An entity has agreed in a directors’ meeting to sell a building and has tentatively started looking for a buyer for the building. The price of the building has been fixed at P6 and a surveyor has valued the building based on market prices at P5.6M. The entity will continue to use the building until another building has been found with equivalent facilities, and in a suitable location for the office staff, who will not be relocated until the new building has been found. Additionally, the entity is planning to sell part of its business and has actively marketed the business at a fair price but, before the business can be sold, government approval is required, and any sale requires government approval.
