No intangible asset arising from research phrase shall be recognized, expenditure on research shall be recognized as expense.
in Development phrase, the expenditure can be capitalised only after technical and commercial feasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established.
This means that the enterprise must intend and be able to complete the intangible asset and either use it or sell it and be able to demonstrate how the asset will generate future economic benefits.
If an enterprise cannot distinguish the research phase of an internal project to create an intangible asset from the development phase, the enterprise treats the expenditure for that project as if it were incurred in the research phase only.
