(1) The economic benefits relating to this investment real estate are likely to flow into the enterprise; and
(2) The cost of the investment real estate can be reliably measured.
Article 7. The investment real estate shall be initially measured at its cost:
(1) The cost of an investment real estate by acquisition includes the acquisition price, relevant taxes, and other expenses which are directly attributable to the asset;
(2) The cost of a self-built investment real estate is formed by the necessary expenses for building the asset to the planned condition for use; (3) The cost of an investment real estate obtained by other means shall be recognized under the relevant accounting standards.
Article 8. For the follow-up expenses relating to an investment real estate, if they meet the recognition conditions as mentioned in Article 6 of these Standards, they shall be included in the cost of the investment real estate; if they do not meet the recognition conditions as mentioned in Article 6 of these Standards, they shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period when they are incurred.
CHAPTER III FOLLOW-UP MEASUREMENT
Article 9. An enterprise shall make a follow-up measurement to an investment real estate through the cost method on the balance sheet date except that the investment real estate complies with the provisions of Article 10 of these Measures.
The follow-up measurement of a building measured through the cost method shall be governed by the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 4-Fixed Assets.
The follow-up measurement of the right to use any land measured through the cost method shall be governed by the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 6-Intangible Assets.
Article 10. Where any well-established evidence shows that the fair value of an investment real estate can be continuously and reliably obtained, a follow-up measurement may be made to the investment real estate through the fair value method. To make a measurement through the fair value method, the following conditions shall be satisfied simultaneously:
(1) There is an active real estate market in the place where the investment real estate is located; and
(2) The enterprise is able to obtain from the real estate market the market prices of the identical or similar real estates and other relevant information, and is able to make a reasonable estimate about the fair value of the investment real estate.
Article 11. If the investment real estate is measured through the fair value method, no depreciation or amortization may be made for it. Its carrying amount shall be adjusted on the basis of its fair value on the balance sheet date. The difference between the fair value and its original carrying amount shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period.
Article 12. Once an enterprise's method for the measurement of the investment real estate is decided, it shall not be changed randomly. If the enterprise replaces the cost method by the fair value method, it shall be deemed that the enterprise has changed its accounting policy, which shall make a treatment according to the Accounting Standards No. 28-Changes in Accounting Policies and Estimates‚ and Correction of Errors.
For an investment real estate which has been measured through the fair value method, the enterprise shall not replace the fair value method with the cost method.

(1) It begins to use the investment real estate by itself;
(2) It rents out any real estate inventory;
(3) It stops using the self-use right to any land for the purpose of generating rents or capital appreciation; or
(4) It stops using any self-use building and changes to rent it out.
Article 14. Under the cost method, the carrying amount of the real estate prior to the conversion shall be entry value after conversion.
Article 15. Where an investment real estate measured through the fair value method is converted into self-use real estate, the fair value on the very day of conversion shall be the carrying amount of the self-sue real estate. The difference between the fair value and the original carrying amount shall be included in profits and losses of the current period.
Article 16. When any self-use real estate or real estate inventory is converted to investment real estate to be measured through the fair value method, the price of the investment real estate shall be calculated under the fair value on the very conversion day. If the fair value on the very conversion day is less than the original carrying amount, the difference shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period. If the fair value on the very conversion day is more than the original carrying amount, the difference shall be included in the owner's rights and interests.
CHAPTER V DISPOSAL
