The recognition of a gain or loss is an accrual concept and does not reflect the cash received on the sale of an asset, but rather the difference between an assets written down book value and the sale proceeds. Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, the Territory Government has adopted a current valuation methodology for most asset classes, meaning the book value of assets typically approximates the market value, resulting in minimal gains or losses. For this reason, although some assets will be sold by agencies in 2012-13, specific allowances for gains or losses on their disposal are not generally made. Budget variations in gains/losses across years reflect the fact that disposal of assets are typically one-off occurrences rather than regular business. Overall, the gain/loss on the sale of assets in 2012-13 is expected to be $1.5million higher than in 2011-12. This is largely due to an increase in projected contracted sales from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Regional Services in 2012-13.
