295‑85 Cost base of 30 June 1988 asset
(1) The first element of the cost base of each 30 June 1988 asset of the entity’s is the greater of the asset’s market value (at the end of 30 June 1988) and its cost base (on that day).
(2) The first element of the reduced cost base of each 30 June 1988 asset of the entity’s is the lesser of the asset’s market value (at the end of 30 June 1988) and its cost base (on that day).

(ii) in any other case—an amount that would not have been the entity’s assessable income;
the cost base to the entity of the interest or unit as at 30 June 1988 is reduced by so much of the amount as is not attributable to a deduction allowed under former Division 10C or 10D of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
(1) Despite section 130‑40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the modifications in subsections (2) and (3) of this section apply if an entity exercises rights or options as mentioned in that section to acquire:

(a) the amount paid to exercise the rights or options; and
(b) the lesser of the market value of the rights or options (at the end of 30 June 1988) and the cost base of the rights or options (on that day).
