..... assets to qualify as a business. To be capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose identified in the definition of a business, an integrated set of activities and assets requires two essential elements-inputs and processes applied to those inputs. A business need not include all of the inputs or processes that the seller used in operating that business. However, to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Paragraphs B12-B12D specify how to assess whether a process is substantive. ; (IV) after paragraph B8, the following shall be inserted, namely:- B8A If an acquired set of activities and assets has outputs, continuation of revenue does not on its own indicate that both an input and a substantive process have been acquired. ; (V) for paragraph B9, the following shall be substituted, namely:- B9 The nature of the elements of a business varies by industry and by the structure of an entity s operations (activities), including the entity s stage of development.

At times, even wellinformed and diligent users may need to seek the aid of an adviser to understand information about complex economic phenomena. ; (ii) after paragraph 139Q, the following shall be inserted, namely:- 139R-139S [Refer Appendix 1] 139T Definition of Material (Amendments to Ind AS 1 and Ind AS 8) amended paragraph 7 of Ind AS 1 and paragraph 5 of Ind AS 8, and deleted paragraph 6 of Ind AS 8.
