If you are construction matrial supplier and you supply the material to3 star hotel and you have not contract to get benifit from the commercial use of hotel or sale of hotel than it is your sale and you will record in P& L Statement.

If you have joint venture with the hotel then you will record AED60 M  in Non Current Account of your balance sheet investement in Associates under IAS28. Further any it will increase with gain and loss or any impairment cost at the time of acquisition.

Profit will also hit the P& L Account with Profit on investment in Associate.
