date was estimated to be N$700 000. The property was available for use, as intended by
management, on the acquisition date. The building is expected to have a useful life of 20 years.

period.

land was determined to be N$2 400 000. Additionally on the same date, due to a decline in
the market and changes in the company's operational plans, a review was conducted. It was
determined that the fair value less costs to sell was N$4 980 000, and the value in use was
N$4 700 000.

Leen Ltd acquired a property on 1 January 2019 at a cost of N$4,000,000 and immediately
occupied it as office premise. On acquisition, it was estimated to have a useful life of 50 years.
Subsequent to its acquisition, the asset was measured at depreciated cost until 1 October

property (mainly for rentals) and rented it out to tenants in terms of an operating lease
agreement.
Following this decision, the property was fair valued at N$3,800,000. Leen Ltd adopted the
fair value model for subsequent measurement of the investment property. On 31 December
2024, it was fair valued at N$3,900,000.
