UNIT – 1

BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Before we proceed for in depth discussion we should understand the basic knowledge
of some of the terms, which are as under:

What is Financial Instrument?


FI is any contract that gives rise to Financial Assets for One Entity and Financial
Liability or Equity for Another Entity.

There can be two types of FI:


Primary FI : such as receivables, payables, loans

Derivatives FI: such as futures, options, forwards, swaps

What is a Financial Asset?


A Financial Asset is any asset i.e.
(a) cash, includes deposits of cash with banks or financial institution
(b) any equity instrument of another entity (such as investment in equity shares of
another entity i.e. BHEL, RIL)
(c) a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another
entity (such as trade receivables, loan receivables, bonds receivables)
(d) a contractual right to exchange the financial assets or financial liability with
another entity under the conditions that are favorable to the entity.
(e) A contract that will or may be settled in entity‟s own equity instruments and is-
A non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable
number of entity‟s own equity instruments; (where shares are used as currency)
(f) Derivative Contracts

another entity under the conditions which are potentially unfavorable to the
entity.

Q178. (ICAI New Syllabus Module)


A Ltd. (the ‘Company’) makes a borrowing for INR 10 lacs from RBC Bank, with bullet
repayment of INR 10 lacs and an annual interest rate of 12% per annum. Now, Company
defaults at the end of 5th year and consequently, a rescheduling of the payment schedule is
made beginning 6th year onwards. The Company is required to pay INR 1,300,000 at the end
of 6th year for one time settlement, in lieu of defaults in payments made earlier.
(a) Does the above instrument meet definition of financial liability? Please explain.
(b) Analyse the differential amount to be exchanged for one-time settlement.

Solution:
(a) A Ltd. has entered into an arrangement wherein against the borrowing, A Ltd. has
contractual obligation to make stream of payments (including interest and principal).
This meets definition of financial liability.
(b) Let‟s compute the amount required to be settled and any differential arising upon
one time settlement at the end of 6th year –
 Loan principal amount = Rs. 10,00,000
 Amount payable at the end of 6th year = Rs. 12,54,400 [10,00,000 * 1.12 * 1.12
(Interest for 5th& 6th year in default plus principal amount)]
 One time settlement = Rs. 13,00,000
 Additional amount payable = Rs. 45,600
The above represents a contractual obligation to pay cash against settlement of a financial
liability under conditions that are unfavorable to A Ltd. (owing to additional amount

3
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

payable in comparison to amount that would have been paid without one time settlement).
Hence, the rescheduled arrangement meets definition of „financial liability‟.

Q179. (ICAI New Syllabus Module)


Target Ltd. took a borrowing from Z Ltd. for Rs. 10,00,000. Z Ltd. enters into an
arrangement with Target Ltd. for settlement of the loan against issue of a certain number
of equity shares of Target Ltd. whose value equals Rs. 10,00,000. For this purpose, fair
value per share (to determine total number of equity shares to be issued) shall be
determined based on the market price of the shares of Target Ltd. at a future date, upon
settlement of the contract. Evaluate this under definition of financial instrument.
Solution:

In the above scenario, Target Ltd. is under an obligation to issue variable number of equity
shares equal to a total consideration of Rs. 10,00,000. Hence, equity shares are used as
currency for purpose of settlement of an amount payable by Target Ltd. Since this is
variable number of shares to be issued in a non-derivative contract for fixed amount of
cash, it tantamounts to use of equity shares as „currency‟ and hence, this contract meets
definition of financial liability in books of Target Ltd.

What is Equity? (Fix Payment ki koi obligation nai hoti)


An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the net assets
of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity Holder can-not claim on the
company, if he/she can claim he is not equity he is someone else.

The most important characteristic of equity instrument is it does not have contractual
obligation.

Fixed Fixed Equity – Neither issuer has any
obligation to pay cash nor holder
is exposed to any variability.
It is called Fixed for Fixed
Test.
Fixed Variable Financial Liability – Issuer has
(equity shares will obligation to provide variable
be issue at the fair equity shares i.e. equity
value prevailing at instruments are being used as
the time of currency for settlement

Variable Fixed Financial Liability – issuer does
not have any obligation to pay
cash but holder is exposed to
variability.
Variable Variable Financial Liability – both parties
are exposed to variability and
equity shares are being used as
currency.

Q180. (ICAI)
DF Ltd. issues convertible debentures to JL Ltd. for a subscription amount of Rs. 100
crores. Those debentures are convertible after 5 years into 15 crore equity shares of Rs.
10 each.
Examine the nature of the financial instrument.
Answer: This contract is an equity instrument because changes in the fair value of equity
shares arising from market related factors do not affect the amount of cash or other
financial assets to be paid or received, or the number of equity instruments to be received
or delivered.

Q181. (ICAI)
CBA Ltd. issues convertible debentures to RQP Ltd. for a subscription amount of Rs. 100
crores. Those debentures are convertible after 5 years into equity shares of CBA Ltd at a
fair value at the time of redemption.

D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

Examine the nature of the financial instrument.

Answer: Such a contract is a financial liability of the entity even though the entity
can settle it by delivering its own equity instruments. It is not an equity instrument
because the entity uses a variable number of its own equity instruments as a means to
settle the contract. The underlying thought behind this conclusion is that the entity
is using its own equity instruments ‘as currency’.

PUTTABLE INSTRUMENTS:
In a simple term – puttable instrument means redeemable equity shares.
Puttable instrument is a financial instrument that gives the holder-
 the right to put the instrument back to the issuer for cash or another financial
asset, or
 is automatically put back to the issuer on the occurrence of an uncertain future
event or the death or retirement of the instrument holder
Put back means redemption. Therefore, puttable instruments are „financial liabilities‟.

Exception – Puttable Instruments are not financial liability but equity instruments if
they fulfill all the following conditions:

1. It entitles the holder to a pro rata share of the entity's net assets in the
event of the entity's liquidation. Providing pro rata share means providing
residual interest in the net assets of any entity. It should be exact pro rata
neither lower nor higher.

Example: 1
ABC Ltd. has two classes of puttable shares – Class A shares and Class B shares. On
liquidation, Class B shareholders are entitled to a pro rata share of the entity’s
residual assets up to a maximum of Rs. 10,000,000.
There is no limit to the rights of the Class A shareholders to share in the
residual assets on liquidation. Examine the nature of the financial instrument.
The cap of Rs. 10,000,000 means that Class B shares do not have entitlement
to a pro rata share of the residual assets of the entity on liquidation. They
cannot therefore be classified as equity.

2. If it is sub-ordinate to all other classes of instruments. That means it has no


priority over other claims to the net assets. These instruments are rank last
for the repayment in the event of liquidation.

3. They should have Identical features in the entire class of puttable

7
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

instruments
4. Holders of puttable instruments should have no other contractual right to
receive cash or entity‟s own equity in variable numbers that could satisfy the
definition of financial liability.
5. Return on puttable instruments (Expected cash flows attributable to the
instruments) should only be based on - Profit/Loss, change in Net assets and
change in the fair value of net assets and not any other factor other than
these three. For example if return is based on index price then such
instrument is not equity.

Executory Contracts are outside the scope of IndAS 109:


 Contracts to buy or sell non-financial assets/items for self-consumption are
not Financial Instruments.
 Contracts to buy or sell non-financial assets/items and to be settled net in
cash are financial instruments (Derivative contracts), i.e. contracts without any
physical delivery of Non-Financial items/assets.
 Contracts between the parties where objective it to take quick delivery and
quickly resell it may also be derivative contracts hence they may be financial
instruments.

Example:
ABC Ltd. enters into a contract to buy 100 tonnes of cocoa beans at 1,000 per tonne
for delivery in 12 months. On the settlement date, the market price for cocoa beans is
1,500 per tonne. If the contract cannot be settled net in cash and this contract is
entered for delivery of cocoa beans in line with ABC Ltd.‟s expected purchase/ usage
requirements, then own-use exemption applies. In such case, the contract is
considered to be an executory contract outside the scope of Ind AS 109 and hence,
shall not be accounted as a derivative.

If the contract can be settled in net cash then it will become Derivative contract and
treated as Financial Asset or Liablity.

RECOGNITION & MEASUREMENT OF
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

INITIAL RECOGNITION

Initial Recognition means – First Time Recording in the books of accounts.

Financial Assets – Initial Recognition at Fair Value


(a) Amortised Cost – at Fair Value +/- Transaction Cost
(b) Fair Value through OCI (FVTOCI) – at Fair Value +/- Transaction Cost
(c) Fair Value through P&L (FVTPL) – at Fair value (transaction cost is to be
charged to P&L a/c directly)

Financial Liabilities – Initial Recognition at Fair Value


(a) Amortised Cost – at Fair Value +/- Transaction Cost
(b) Fair Value through P&L (FVTPL) – at Fair value (transaction cost is to be
charged to P&L a/c directly)

Equity -
Since it is a residual interest in the net assets of the company therefore it is
recognised at Residual Value not fair value.

SUBSEQUENT RECOGNITION

Subsequent Recognition means – Measurement at Balance Sheet date (reporting date)


Financial Assets

Financial Assets are classified into 3 categories for the accounting purpose:

(i) Amortised cost

11
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

(ii) Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)


(iii) Fair value through Profit & Loss(FVTPL)
The above classification will be based on entity‟s “Business Model” for managing the
financial assets.

The classification will be made as under:

(a) Financial assets measured at Amortised Cost -


 If the business model is such that the objective is to hold such asset till
maturity date and earn contractual cash flows entirely.
 Such asset can generate INTEREST INCOME only on the instruments. (i.e. not
able to sale and earn other income like capital gain)
 And the instrument generates cash flows only from INTEREST & PRINCIPAL on
SPECIFIED DATES
eg. FD, LIC, Debentures redeemable in cash, staff advances, Govt. Securities and
Bonds.

Initial Recognition: If the above three conditions are satisfied then financial
asset will be measured at fair value i.e. amortised cost (PV of future cash
flows at ERI) after considering any initial transaction cost.
Subsequent Recognition:
1. Income shall be recorded in the profit and loss statement always.
2. At Balance sheet date such Financial Asset is required to be measured at
Present value of agreed contractual cash flows calculated using “Effective Rate
of Interest” (IRR)

(b) Financial assets measured at Fair Value Through OCI


(FVTOCI)-
 If the business model of an entity is such that the objective is not to hold till
maturity date but to sell such instruments in the market or having no maturity;
 Such Asset can generate INTEREST as well as OTHER INCOME (such as
capital gain) from the sale of instrument;
 And the instrument generates PRINCIPAL & INTEREST on SPECIFIED DATES.
Then the financial asset will be measured at FVTOCI eg. Listed company‟s
debentures, irredeemable instruments etc

Initial Recognition: Financial asset under FVTOCI will be measured at fair


value after considering any initial transaction cost. (FV +/- Transaction

12
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

Cost)
Subsequent Recognition:
1. Regular (specified) Income shall be recorded in the profit and loss statement
always.
2. At Balance sheet date such Financial Asset is required to be measured at Fair
Value (market value) and any changes in carrying amount due to fair valuation will
be accumulated in OCI. (since it is unrealized gain or loss)
3. On derecognition of FA under this category, accumulated balance in OCI in
respect of such FA shall be recycle (transfer) to P&L a/c. (it means it becomes
realised gain/loss)

(c) Financial assets measured at Fair Value through P&L


(FVTPL)-
This is a residual category and the financial assets falls under this category are
generally those assets whose contractual cash flows are not fixed and they does not
generate cash flows on specified dates such as Investments in equity shares of other
companies.
eg. Equity shares (except not held for trading), derivatives.

Initial Recognition: Financial asset under FVTPL will be measured at fair value only.
Transaction cost shall always be transfer to Profit and loss a/c immediately.

Subsequent Recognition:
1. Regular Income shall be recorded in the profit and loss statement always.
2. At Balance sheet date such Financial Asset is required to be measured at Fair
Value (market value) and any changes in carrying amount due to fair valuation will
be recognised in P&L A/c.

Example: We bought share of Infosys Ltd. at Rs.2100. Transaction cost is Rs.2. On

Exception:
Equity Instruments are generally Held for Trading. However if equity instruments are not
held for Trading then there is an option that Equity instruments (not held for trading) may
be designated as FVTOCI.

Is equity instrument (FA) held for trading? If Yes :-then FVTPL always.

If No:- there is an option to designate it to FVTOCI instead of FVTPL (it means holder
may opt to categorize under FVTOCI)

NOTE: If the option of FVTOCI is selected for equity shares not held for trading, then
any resulting gain/loss on REVALUATION (subsequent recognition) will be transferred to
OCI and NO RECYCLING to P&L is permissible and this option is IRREVOCABLE. On sale
of such option, it will also be reflected in OCI and not P&L.

Example: We bought shares of Infosys at Rs.2100. Transaction cost is Rs.2. On quarter


end FV of shares is Rs.2250. These shares are designated as FVTOCI, not held for
trading.

SUBSEQUENT RECOGNITION
FINANCIAL LIABILITY

Under IND-AS 109, Financial Liabilities are classified into 2 categories i.e.
(i) Amortised cost (Default category)
(ii) FVTPL (Fair value to P&L)
(a) Amortised Cost:
Accounting treatment of financial liability which can be measured at amortised cost:
 For the purpose of accounting, we need EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE (i.e. IRR)
for the financial liability measured at amortised cost.
 The effective interest rate will be given in the question or we need to calculate
interest by interpolation technique.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY UNDER AMORTISED COST:


 Compound FI
 Non compound FI

Amortised Cost - COMPOUND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT


Compound Financial Instruments are those instruments which are having
features of both equity as well as financial liability.

Modification in Financial Instruments (Early settlement/late settlement):


Modification may rise to – Change in ERI, Change in Service Period, Change in
repayment terms like contractual interest rate or principle repayment or change in
Fair value of instruments. Following steps are to be followed:
Step 1 – Determine the carrying values of Financial Assets/Liability and Equity as
on Modification date.

Step 2 – Calculate Revised values of FA/FL and Equity on modification as per


revised terms such as revised ERI, revised period, revised CCF and revised Fair
Values etc.
Note: If revised ERI is not given but as per question‟s information it shows that
ERI should be revised then we have to calculate IRR

Step 3 – Difference between Revised values of FA/FL/Equity and Carrying values

17
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

of the same shall be treated as under –


Difference in FA/FL shall be transferred to Profit and Loss a/c (Gain or Loss)
Difference in Equity shall be transferred to Other Equity (SOCE)

Step 4 – Settle the amount of FA/FL or Equity as per the question‟s requirement

(b)Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):


Financial liability are measured at FVTPL when they are held for trading . A financial
liability is held for trading when it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing it in the near term or when it is a derivative. (except a derivative
of hedging in the nature of Cash Flow)

Q189: (Exam – May 18 – 8 Marks) (Loan by Holiding to its Subsidiary at concessional


rate)
S Limited issued redeemable preference share to its Holding Company – H Limited. The

supplying the guidance in Ind AS 109 „Financial Instruments‟, and account for this in the
books of H Limited.

Value of Preference 5,00,00,000

Dividend Rate 0.0001% Per Annum
Market rate of interest 12% per Annum
Present value factor 0.7118
Solution:
1. Analysis of the financial instrument issued by S Ltd. to its holding company H
Ltd.
Applying the guidance in Ind AS 109, a „financial asset‟ shall be recorded at its fair value
upon initial recognition. Fair value is normally the transaction price. However, sometimes
certain type of instruments may be exchanged at off market terms (ie, different from
market terms for a similar instrument if exchanged between market participants).
For example, a long-term loan or receivable that carries no interest while similar
instruments if exchanged between market participants carry interest, then fair value for
such loan receivable will be lower from its transaction price owing to the loss of interest
that the holder bears. In such cases where part of the consideration given or received is
for something other than the financial instrument, an entity shall measure the fair value
of the financial instrument.

22
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

In the above case, since S Ltd has issued preference shares to its Holding Company– H
Ltd, the relationship between the parties indicates that the difference in transaction
price and fair value is akin to investment made by H Ltd. in its subsidiary. This can further
be substantiated by the nominal rate of dividend i.e. 0.0001% mentioned in the terms of
the instrument issued.

Q190: (Modification) (ICAI New Syllabus Module)


On 1 January 20X0,XYZ Ltd. issues 10 year bonds for Rs 1,00,000, bearing interest at 10%
(payable on 31st December each year). The bonds are redeemable on 31 December 20X9
for Rs 1,000,000. No costs or fees are incurred. The effective interest rate is therefore
10%. On 1 January 20X5 (i.e. after 5 years) XYZ Ltd. and the bondholders agree to a
modification in accordance with which: no further interest payments are made

The bonds are redeemed on the original due date (31 December 20X9) for Rs 1,600,000;

Q191: (Modification) (ICAI New Syllabus Module)


JK Ltd. has an outstanding unsecured loan of Rs 90 crores to a bank. The effective
interest rate (EIR) of this loan is 10% Owing to financial difficulties; JK Ltd. is unable to
service the debt and approaches the bank for a settlement.

The bank offers the following terms which are accepted by JK Ltd.

 2/3rd of the debt is unsustainable and hence will be converted into 70% equity interest
in JK Ltd. The fair value of net assets of JK Ltd. is Rs 80 crores.
 1/3rd of the debt is sustainable and the bank agrees to certain moratorium period and
decrease in interest rate in initial periods. The present value of cash flows as per
these revised terms calculated using original EIR is Rs 25 crores. The fair value of the
cash flows as per these revised terms is Rs 28 crores.

(Answer: 6 Cr. Gain on modification charged to Profit and Loss a/c)

Q192: (Conversion into Equity) (ICAI New Syllabus Module)

ABC Ltd. issued convertible debentures (at the option of holder) amounting to Rs. 100
Lacs. As per the terms of the issue it has been agreed to issue equity shares amounting to
Rs. 150 lacs to redeem the debentures at the end of 3rd year. Assume the companies
market yield is 10% for Initial year and year 1 end, and 10.5% for year 2 end. Show
accounting entries.

Solution:

Value of Debentures (Financial Liability) to be recorded initially :


PV of Rs. 150 lacs at 10% (at the end of 3rd year) = 150x.7513 = Rs. 1,12,69,500
Difference between current initial inflow and value of FL is = 1269500 to be transfer
to profit and loss a/c

Q193: FVTOCI (ICAI New Syllabus Module)

A Ltd. invested in equity shares of C Ltd. on 15th March for Rs 10,000. Transaction costs
were Rs 500 in addition to the basic cost of Rs 10,000. On 31 March, the fair value of the
equity shares was Rs 11,200 and market rate of interest is 10% per annum for a 10 year

loan. Pass necessary journal entries. Analyse the measurement principle and pass necessary
journal entries.

Solution:
The above investment is in equity shares of C Ltd and hence, does not involve any
contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Hence, these
equity shares shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Also, an irrecoverable
option exists to designate such investment as fair value through other comprehensive
income.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS OF INDAS 109/32


(A)
TRADE DATE ACCOUNTING VS. SETTLEMENT DATE ACCOUNTING
1. Entity may choose either Trade date accounting or Settlement date accounting for
Financial Instruments.
2. Trade date accounting – FA/FL shall be recorded on agreement date itself
although the transaction is yet to be settled in future.
3. Settlement date accounting – FA/FL shall be recorded on final settlement date
only and ignoring trade date.
4. On Balance sheet date, while measuring asset/liability at fair value –
Trade date accounting – FA/FL shall be increased/decreased accordingly
Settlement date accounting – Changes in Fair value of FA/FL shall be recorded
only without recording any FA/FL
5. The most important thing to understand is whether we are following Trade
date accounting or settlement date accounting, FA/FL shall be shown at Fair
Value on Settlement date.

(B)
TREASURY SHARES – (BUYBACK OF EQUITY SHARES)
If an entity reacquires its own equity instruments:
 Consideration paid for those instruments ('treasury shares') shall be deducted from
equity. An entity's own equity instruments are not recognised as a financial asset
regardless of the reason for which they are reacquired.
 Consideration received shall be recognised directly in equity.
 No gain or loss shall be recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or
cancellation of an entity's own equity instruments

(C)
BUYBACK OPTION OR WRITTEN PUT OPTION OR OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE
OWN EQUITY:
 Such contracts are puttable instruments and are treated as Financial Liability.
 If an entity announces written put option for such instrument which was earlier
classified under equity, then this will rise to reclassification from equity to
financial liability at PV of redemption amount.
 Any option premium collected by entity on written put option shall be directly
recognised in equity not in P&L a/c
 At the time of exercise of option by holder the financial liability is paid off if the

- Any gain or loss arising from difference between the previous amortised cost of
the financial asset and fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income
- Effective interest rate and measurement of expected credit losses are not
adjusted as a result of reclassification.

Case 3: FVTPL to Amortised cost
- It is measured at fair value on reclassification date and this fair value becomes the
new gross carrying amount. Effective interest rate is computed based on this new
gross carrying amount.
- Any gain or loss arising from difference between the previous amortised cost of
the financial asset and fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Example 3:

Case 4: FVTPL to FVOCI
- The financial asset continues to be measured at fair value.
- The effective interest rate is determined on the basis of fair value of asset at
reclassification date.

Example 4:
Bonds for Rs 100,000 reclassified as FVOCI. Fair value on reclassification is Rs 90,000.
Pass the required journal entry.

Particulars Amount Amount
Bonds at FVOCI Dr. 90,000
Loss on reclassification Dr. 10,000
To Bonds at FVTPL 1,00,000


Case 5: FVOCI to Amortised cost
- The financial asset is measured at fair value on reclassification date.
- However, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive
income (OCI) is removed from equity and adjusted against fair value of financial
asset at reclassification date.
- As a result, the financial asset is measured at reclassification date as if it had

29
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

always been measured at amortised cost. This adjustment affects OCI but does not
affect profit or loss and therefore, is not a reclassification adjustment.
- Effective interest rate and measurement of expected credit losses are not
adjusted as a result of reclassification.

Example 5:
Bonds for Rs 100,000 reclassified as Amortised cost. Fair value on reclassification is Rs
90,000 and Rs 10,000 loss was recognised in OCI till date of reclassification. Pass required

LOAN GRANTED BY PARENT CO. TO SUBSIDIARY AT CONCESSIONAL RATE:
Step 1:
Calculate fair value of loan using Effective rate of interest (Amortised Cost Method).
Step 2:
Any difference between loan amount paid and fair value of step 1 will be considered as
Cost of Investment in subsidiary and capitalised accordingly.
Step 3:
Under consolidated financial statements, while comparing Cost of investment with the
equity of subsidiary (Net Assets), such capitalised amount will be offset since it is
included in cost of parent and equity of subsidiary.

(G)
CARVE OUT FROM IFRS: EQUITY CONVERSION OPTION EMBEDDED IN A
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERTIBLE BOND
IndAS 32 considers the equity conversion option embedded in a convertible bond
denominated in foreign currency to acquire a fixed number of entity’s own equity
instruments as an equity instrument if the exercise price is fixed in any currency.

Example:
Entity A issues a bond with face value of USD 100 and carrying a fixed coupon rate of 6%
p.a. Each bond is convertible into 1,000 equity shares of the issuer. Examine the nature of
the financial instrument.
Solution
While the number of equity shares is fixed, the amount of cash is not. The variability in
cash arises on account of fluctuation in exchange rate of INR-USD. Such a foreign
currency convertible bond (FCCB) will qualify the definition of “financial liability”.

However, Ind AS 32 provides, “the equity conversion option embedded in a convertible


bond denominated in foreign currency to acquire a fixed number of the entity‟s own equity
instruments is an equity instrument if the exercise price is fixed in any currency.”
Accordingly, FCCB will be treated as an “equity instrument”.

(H)
TRANSACTION COSTS:
 Transaction costs includes fees and commission paid to agents (including employees
acting as selling agents), advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory

31
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

agencies and security exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs
do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal
administrative or holding costs.
 Any transaction costs incurred for acquisition of the financial asset are adjusted
upon initial recognition while determining fair value.
 If an entity originates a loan that bears an off-market interest rate (eg 5 per cent
when the market rate for similar loans is 8 per cent), and receives an upfront fee
as compensation, the entity recognises the loan at its fair value, ie net of the fee it
receives.

Transaction cost under Financial Assets


FA under AMC – Included as a part of Financial Assets (+/- in the initial outflow) i.e.
Included in calculation of effective interest rate and amortised over expected life of the
instrument.
FA under FVTOCI - Included as a part of Financial Assets (+/- in the initial outflow)
FA under FVTPL – Directly charged to Profit and Loss a/c (no capitalisation)

Transaction Cost under Financial Liabilities


FL under AMC – Included as part of Financial Liabilities (+/- in the initial inflow)
But in case of compound financial instrument - allocated to the liability and equity
components of the instrument in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.

FL under FVTPL - Directly charged to Profit and Loss a/c.

Transaction cost under Equity:


Deduction from equity to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to
the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided. The costs of an equity
transaction that is abandoned are recognised as an expense.

(I)
IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS/LOSS ALLOWANCE:
Loss allowance is not required in case of Investment in Equity Instruments and FA under
FVTPL
Loss allowance can be provided for following assets –
(a) FA under AMC & FVTPL
(b) A lease receivable

32
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

(c) Loan commitment


(d) Financial guarantee contract
Loss allowance is to be provided using “Expected Credit Loss method”
Expected credit loss is equal to the sum of present values of expected cash flows that
may not be realised in future as per the current circumstances. (discount rate shall be
original ERI)

 Life time expected credit losses means Probability of default for total life of FA
 12 month expected credit losses means Probability of default over next 12 months
 If the Financial Asset is Credit impaired then always use Lifetime expected credit
loss approach. (Credit impaired means High risk of default or credit risk has been
increased significantly like breach of loan terms and conditions, IBC proceedings
are initiated etc)
 If the amount of FA remains overdue for more than 30 days period there is
rebuttable presumption that Financial Asset is Credit Impaired.
 An entity may use practical expedients when measuring expected credit losses.
An example of a practical expedient is the calculation of the expected credit losses
on trade receivables using a provision matrix. The entity would use its historical
credit loss experience for trade receivables to estimate the 12-month expected
credit losses or the lifetime expected credit losses on the financial assets as
relevant. A provision matrix might, for example, specify fixed provision rates
depending on the number of days that a trade receivable is past due (for example, 1
per cent if not past due, 2 per cent if less than 30 days past due, 3 per cent if
more than 30 days but less than 90 days past due, 20 per cent if 90–180 days past

33
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

due etc).
Loss Allowance under ECL = Amount of FA x Probability of Unrealised cash flows (%)
x Probability of default (%)

(J) OFFSETTING A FINANCIAL ASSET AND A FINANCIAL LIABILITY


A financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount presented in
the statement of financial position (Balance Sheet) when, and only when, an entity:

(a) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts
(b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously

(K)
DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
(a) Derecognition refers to the timing of removing a financial asset from the balance

designated under FVTOCI)
(c) Financial Asset is derecognised when any of the following conditions are satisfied:
 Right to receive cash flows has been expired; or
 The entity has transferred its right to receive cash flows and transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards.
(d) Financial Assets can be transferred with Risks (means without recourse) and
without risks (means with recourse).
(e) Transfer of Financial Assets without Risk (with recourse) – This FA shall not be
derecognised, entity shall continue to recognise the transferred asset.
Also a separate Financial liability shall be booked for the consideration received at

Q194:Written put option over non-controlling interests


Parent P holds a 70% controlling interest in Subsidiary S. The remaining 30% is held by
Entity Z. On 1 January 20X1, P writes an option to Z which grants Z the right to sell its
shares to Parent P on 31 December 20X2 for Rs 1,000. Parent P receives a payment of Rs
100 for the option. The applicable discount rate for the put liability is determined to be
12%. State by which amount the financial instrument will be recognised and under which
category.
Solution
On 1 January 20X1, the present value of the (estimated) exercise price is Rs 797 (Rs
1,000 discounted over 2 years at 12%).

35
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

Accordingly, P will recognise a financial liability of Rs 797 and the difference between
cash received i.e. Rs 1000 and the financial liability of Rs 797 will be debited to
equity.

Q196: 12 month expected credit loss – Probability of default approach


Entity A originates a single 10 year amortising loan for Rs. 1 million. Taking into
consideration the expectations for instruments with similar credit risk (using reasonable
and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort), the credit risk
of the borrower, and the economic outlook for the next 12 months, Entity A estimates
that the loan at initial recognition has a probability of default (PoD) of 0.5 per cent over
the next 12 months. Entity A also determines that changes in the 12-month PoD are a
reasonable approximation of the changes in the lifetime PoD for determining whether
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Loss given
default (LGD) is estimated as 25% of the balance outstanding. Calculate loss allowance.
Solution
At reporting date, no change in 12-month PoD and entity assesses that there is no
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition – therefore lifetime ECL is not
required to be recognised.

and operates only in one geographical region. The customer base consists of a large number
of small clients and the trade receivables are categorised by common risk characteristics
that are representative of the customers' abilities to pay all amounts due in accordance
with the contractual terms. The trade receivables do not have a significant financing
component in accordance with IndAS 18. In accordance with paragraph 5.5.15 of Ind AS
109 the loss allowance for such trade receivables is always measured at an amount equal to
lifetime time expected credit losses.

Please use the following information of debtors outstanding:


Gross carrying amount
Current Rs. 15,000,000
1–30 days past due Rs. 7,500,000
31–60 days past due Rs. 4,000,000
61–90 days past due Rs. 2,500,000
More than 90 days past due Rs. 1,000,000
Rs. 30,000,000
Company M uses following default rates for making provisions:
Current 1–30 days 31–60 days 61–90 days More than 90
past due past due past due days past due
Default 0.3% 1.6% 3.6% 6.6% 10.6%
rate
Determine the expected credit losses for the portfolio

Solution
To determine the expected credit losses for the portfolio, Company M uses a provision
matrix. The provision matrix is based on its historical observed default rates over the
expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At
every reporting date the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the
forward-looking estimates are analysed. In this case it is forecast that economic
conditions will deteriorate over the next year.

On that basis, Company M estimates the following provision matrix:

Current 1–30 days 31–60 days 61–90 days More than 90


past due past due past due days past due
Default 0.3% 1.6% 3.6% 6.6% 10.6%
rate

Q198: Impairment of Financial Assets under “Amortised Cost” (RTP – NOV 18)
On 1st April 2017, A Ltd. lent Rs. 2 crores to a supplier in order to assist them with their
expansion plans. The arrangement of the loan cost the company Rs. 10 lakhs. The company
has agreed not to charge interest on this loan to help the supplier's short-term cash flow
but expected the supplier to repay Rs. 2.40 crores on 31st March 2019. As calculated by
the finance team of the company, the effective annual rate of interest on this loan is
6.9%. On 28th February 2018, the company received the information that poor economic
climate has caused the supplier significant problems and in order to help them, the
company agreed to reduce the amount repayable by them on 31st March 2019 to Rs. 2.20
crores. Suggest the accounting entries as per applicable Ind AS.

Solution:

The loan to the supplier would be regarded as a financial asset. The relevant accounting
standard Ind AS 109 provides that financial assets are normally measured at fair value.
If the financial asset in which the only expected future cash inflows are the receipts of
principal and interest and the investor intends to collect these inflows rather than dispose
of the asset to a third party, then Ind AS 109 allows the asset to be measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

If this method is adopted, the costs of issuing the loan are included in its initial carrying
value rather than being taken to profit or loss as an immediate expense. This makes the
initial carrying value ` 2,10,00,000.

38
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

Under the effective interest method, part of the finance income is recognised in the
current period rather than all in the following period when repayment is due. The income
recognised in the current period is ` 14,49,000 (` 2,10,00,000 x 6.9%)

In the absence of information regarding the financial difficulties of the supplier the
financial asset at 31st March, 2018 would have been measured at ` 2,24,49,000 (`
2,10,00,000 + 14,49,000). The information regarding financial difficulty of the supplier is
objective evidence that the financial asset suffered impairment at 31st March 2018.

The asset is re-measured at the present value of the revised estimated future cash
inflows, using the original effective interest rate. Under the revised estimates the closing
carrying amount of the asset would be ` 2,05,79,981 (` 2,20,00,000 / 1.069). The
reduction in carrying value of ` 18,69,019 (` 2,24,49,000 – 2,05,79,981) would be charged
to profit or loss in the current period as an impairment of a financial asset.
Therefore, the net charge to profit or loss in respect of the current period would be
Rs. 4,20,019 (18,69,019 – 14,49,000).

Q199: (De-recognition of partial Financial Asset)

Sea Ltd. has lent a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs @ 18% pa for 10 years. The loan had a fair value of
Rs. 12,23,960 at the effective interest rate of 13%. To mitigate prepayment risks but at
the same time retaining control over the loan, Sea Ltd. transferred its right to receive the
principal amount of the loan on its maturity with interest, after retaining rights over 10%
of principal and 4% interest that carries Fair Value of Rs. 29000, and 184620 respectively.
The consideration for the transaction was Rs. 990000. The interest component retained
included a 2% fee towards collection of principal and interest that has a fair value of
65160. Defaults, if any are deductible to a maximum extent of the company‟s claim on
principal portion. You are required to show the journal entries to the record the
derecognition of Loan.

Q200. (ICAI New Syllabus Module) (Home Work)

A Ltd issued redeemable preference shares to a Holding Company – Z Ltd. The terms of
the instrument have been summarized below. Account for this in the books of Z Ltd.

Nature Non-cumulative redeemable preference


shares
Repayment: Redeemable after 5 years
Date of Allotment: 1-Apr-20X1
Date of repayment: 31-Mar-20X6
Total period: 5.00 years
Value of preference shares issued: 100,000,000
Dividend rate 0.0001%
Market rate of interest 12.00% per annum
Present value factor 0.56743

Solution
Applying the guidance in Ind AS 109, a „financial asset‟ shall be recorded at its fair value
upon initial recognition. Fair value is normally the transaction price. However, sometimes
certain type of instruments may be exchanged at off market terms (ie, different from
market terms for a similar instrument if exchanged between market participants).

For example, a long-term loan or receivable that carries no interest while similar
instruments if exchanged between market participants carry interest, then fair value for
such loan receivable will be lower from its transaction price owing to the loss of interest
that the holder bears. In such cases where part of the consideration given or received is
for something other than the financial instrument, an entity shall measure the fair value
of the financial instrument.
In the above case, since A Ltd has issued preference shares to its Holding Company – Z
Ltd, the relationship between the parties indicates that the difference in transaction
price and fair value is akin to investment made by Z Ltd. in its subsidiary.

Following is the table summarising the computations on initial recognition:

Market rate of interest 12.00%


Present value factor 0.56743
Present value 56,742,686

Q201. (ICAI New Syllabus Module) (Home Work)


A Limited issues INR 1 crore convertible bonds on 1 July 20X1. The bonds have a life of
eight years and a face value of INR 10 each, and they offer interest, payable at the end
of each financial year, at a rate of 6 per cent annum. The bonds are issued at their face
value and each bond can be converted into one ordinary share in A Limited at any time in
the next eight years. Companies of a similar risk profile have recently issued debt with
similar terms, without the option for conversion, at a rate of 8 per cent per annum.
Required:
(a) Identify the present value of the bonds, and, allocating the difference between the
present value and the issue price to the equity component, provide the appropriate
accounting entries.
(b) Calculate the stream of interest expenses across the eight years of the life of the
bonds.
(c) Provide the accounting entries if the holders of the option elect to convert the
options to ordinary shares at the end of the third year.
Solution

(a) Applying the guidance for compound instruments, the present value of the bond is
computed to identify the liability component and then difference between the present
value of these bonds & the issue price of INR 1 crore shall be allocated to the equity
component. In determining the present value, the rate of 8 per cent will be used, which
is the interest rate paid on debt of a similar nature and risk that does not provide an
option to convert the liability to ordinary shares.

Present value of bonds at the market rate of debt


Present value of principal to be received in eight years discounted at 8%
(10,000,000 X 0.5403) = 5,403,000
Present value of interest stream discounted at 8% for 8 years
(6,00,000 X 5.7466) = 3,447,960
Total present value = 8,850,960
Equity component = 1,149,040
Total face value of convertible bonds = 10,000,000

DERIVATIVES, EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES & HEDGE
ACCOUNTING
(Here we will cover IndAS portion as well as Guidance Note on Accounting for
Derivative contracts portion)

(GN on Derivative contracts is applicable for Non IndAS based entities.)

DERIVATIVES
Koi bhi contract jiska price koi dusre financial/non-financial item (underlying)
se derive ho.
Ek party k liye favorable position create hoti hai aur dusri party k liye
unfavorable position banti hai i.e. FA for one party and FL/Equity for
another.

There can be two types of derivatives –


1. Standalone derivative contracts (Options, Futures, Forwards etc); and
2. Embedded derivative contracts - which are part of or included in a hybrid contract,
in which some non-derivative host is included.

It should have the following characteristics;


a. Its value changes in response to change in an underlying. (Underlying can be
equity share, stock index, Foreign Exchange rates, interest rates, any financial
instrument, commodity index, commodity price i.e gold, or any other variable item
that has some value or even a non-financial asset)
b. It requires no investment or very little initial investment.
c. It is settled at a future date

Note: It may settle on net to net basis (i.e in cash without any delivery) in case of non-
financial item or it may settle with delivery also for Financial Items.

Q203: Prepaid forward (ICAI New Syllabus Module)


Entity XYZ enters into a forward contract to purchase 1 million ordinary shares of Entity
T in one year
The current market price of T is Rs 50 per share.

48
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

The one-year forward price of T is Rs 55 per share

XYZ is required to prepay the forward contract at inception with a Rs 50 million payment.
Analyse whether this is a derivative contract.

Solution
Purchase of 1 million shares for current market price is likely to have the same response
to changes in market factors as the contract mentioned above. Accordingly, the prepaid
forward contract does not meet the initial net investment criterion of a derivative
instrument.

PQR Ltd. issues a call option (i.e. an option to buy) to ABC Ltd. to subscribe to PQR
Ltd.‟s equity shares at a price of ` 100 per share. The call option is to be settled on a
„net‟ basis i.e. without physical delivery of shares. If at the balance sheet date, market
value of equity share of PQR Ltd. is ` 110 per share, PQR Ltd. will be obliged to pay `
10 to settle the option. Such a condition is potentially unfavourable to PQR Ltd. and
hence ` 10 represents a financial liability for PQR Ltd.

A Company enters into fixed price forward contract to purchase one million kilograms of
copper in accordance with its expected usage requirements. The contract permits the
company to take physical delivery of the copper at the end of 12 months or to pay or
receive a net settlement in cash, based on change in fair value of copper. Is the contract
accounted for as a derivative? Explain.

(Answer:

BASIC RULE OF ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES:

Derivatives are always accounted under FVTPL category (do not conduct business
model test or contractual cash flows test)

Basic Principle: All derivative contracts should be recognised on balance sheet at Fair
Value whether there is a favorable position or unfavorable position.
This means that on Balance Sheet date, if there are any unsettled derivative contracts
then we have to create Financial Asset (Favourable position) or Financial Liability
(Unfavourable Position) at Fair values through P&L a/c.

Fair value means “EXIT PRICE” i.e the price that would be paid to transfer a liability

On 1st January 20X1, Sam Co. Ltd. agreed to purchase USD ($) 20,000 from JT Bank in
future on 31st December 20X1 for a rate equal to Rs 68 per USD. Sam Co. Ltd. did not pay
any amount upon entering into the contract. Sam Co Ltd. is a listed company in India and
prepares its financial statements on a quarterly basis.

Following the principles of recognition and measurement as laid down in Ind AS 109, you
are required to record the entries for each quarter ended till the date of actual purchase
of USD.

For the purposes of accounting, please use the following information representing marked
to market fair value of forward contracts at each reporting date:
As at 31st March 20X1 –Rs (25,000)
As at 30th June 20X1 –Rs (15,000)
As at 30th September 20X1 - Rs12,000
Spot rate of USD on 31st December 20X1 - Rs66 per USD
Solution:
(i) Assessment of the arrangement using the definition of derivative included
under Ind AS 109.
Derivative is a financial instrument or other contract within the scope of this
Standard with all three of the following characteristics:
a) its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate,
financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index
of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable,
provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not
specific to a party to the contract (sometimes called the 'underlying').
b) it requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is
smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be
expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors.
c) it is settled at a future date.

Upon evaluation of contract in question it is noted that the contract meets the
definition of a derivative as follows:

57
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

a) the value of the contract to purchase USD at a fixed price changes in response to
changes in foreign exchange rate.
b) the initial amount paid to enter into the contract is zero. A contract which would
give the holder a similar response to foreign exchange rate changes would have
required an investment of USD 20,000 on inception.
c) the contract is settled in future

The derivative is a forward exchange contract.


As per Ind AS 109, derivatives are measured at fair value upon initial recognition and
are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss.
(ii) Accounting on 1st January 20X1:
As there was no consideration paid and without evidence to the contrary the
fair value of the contract on the date of inception is considered to be zero.
Accordingly, no accounting entries shall be recorded on the date of entering
into the contract.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS


These contracts are undertaken to cover the risk of Interest rates on variable or fixed
rate of interest.

Accounting Treatement
Step 1 – on contract date Do nothing

Step 2 – on balance sheet date, check whether the entity is in favourable position or
unfavourable position and create Financial Asset Receivable a/c or Financial Liability
Payable a/c accordingly by the net gain in interest swaps.

Step 3 – on settlement date, re-measure the Financial Asset or Liability based on


position on settlement date and then realise the Financial Asset or settle the financial
liability in Cash.

Prepaid Interest Rate Swaps:


If interest rate swaps (Pay variable, get fixed rate) is prepaid, then these are not
derivative contracts, since the initial investment on these are not nil or very less.

Q213: Prepaid pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swap (ICAI)


Entity S enters into a Rs 100 crores notional amount five-year pay-variable, receive-fixed
interest rate swap with Counterparty C.
The variable leg of the swap is reset on a quarterly basis to three-month MIBOR.
The fixed interest payments under the swap are calculated as 10% of the swap's notional
amount, i.e. Rs 10 crores p.a.
Entity S prepays its obligation under the variable leg of the swap at inception at current
market rates. Say, that amount is Rs 36 crores.
It retains the right to receive fixed interest payments of 10% on Rs 100 crores every
year. Analyse whether this a derivative contract.

Solution
In effect, this contract results in an initial net investment of Rs 36 crores which yields a
cash inflow of Rs 10 crores every year, for five years. By discharging the obligation to pay
variable interest rate payments, Entity S in effect provides a loan to Counterparty C.

Therefore, all else being equal, the initial investment in the contract should equal that of
other financial instruments that consist of fixed annuities. Thus, the initial net investment

63
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

in the pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swap is equal to the investment required in
a non-derivative contract that has a similar response to changes in market conditions.

For this reason, the instrument fails the condition 'no initial net investment or an
initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts
that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors'.
Therefore, the contract is not accounted for as a derivative contract.

EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES

Any contract which has Two Elements, one is Host Contract (i.e. main contract) which is
non-derivative part of the contract and the other one is derivative part (it is embedded
with the host contract).

So what to do with this embedded derivative? Do we need to separate this from host
contract or not?

So the answer is - if the host contract and embedded derivative are closely related
with each other, then no need to separate them.

If they are not closely related then derivative element is required to be accounted
separately.

Case – 1
No separation is required – Entire contract shall be accounted as one single contract as
per the relevant IndAS.

Case – 2
Separation is required –
(a) Contract of Sell/purchase in future-
 Record the sale/purchase at pre-determined forward rate (forward rate on the
date of contract)
 Consider changes in forward rate as Derivative Contract (FVTPL)

(b) Prepayment option in Loan-


Calculate value of Loan as per Amortised Cost Method
Calculate value of Loan as per ACM if prepayment option is exercised
If difference in above two values is significant then record separately the Derivative
Asset/Liability.

Q214: Debt instrument with prepayment option (ICAI New Syllabus Module)
Entity PQR borrows Rs 100 crores from CFDH Bank on 1 April 20X1.
Interest is payable at 12% p.a. and there is a bullet repayment of principal at the end of
the term.
Term of the loan is 6 years.
The loan includes an option to prepay the loan at 1st April each year with a prepayment
penalty of 3%.
There are no transaction costs.
Without the prepayment option, the interest rate quoted by bank is 11% p.a.
Analyse
Solution
Step 1: Identify the host contract and embedded derivative, if any
In the given case,
 Host is a debt instrument comprising annual interest payment at 12% p.a. and bullet
principal repayment at the end of 6 years.
 Option to prepay the debt at Rs 103 crores is an embedded derivative

Step 2: Determine the amortised cost of the host debt instrument


Whether the prepayment option is likely to be exercised or not, the amortised cost of the
host debt instrument should be calculated as present value (PV) of expected cash flows
using a fair market interest rate for a debt without the prepayment option (11% p.a. in this
case). This is calculated below as Rs 104.23 crores:
Year Cash outflow PV @ 11% p.a. Finance cost Amortised cost

6 - N/A

The management of Entity PQR may formulate an appropriate accounting policy to


determine what constitutes “approximately equal”. In this case, if the management
.determines that a difference of more than 2% will indicate that the option's exercise
price is not approximately equal to the amortised cost of the host debt instrument, it will
need to separate the embedded derivative and account for it as per principles given in the
subsequent sub-section.

Q215:
Entity A (an INR functional currency entity) enters into a USD 1,000,000 sale contract on
1 January 20X1 with Entity B (an INR functional currency entity) to sell equipment on 30
June 20X1.

Spot rate on 1 January 20X1: INR/USD 45


Spot rate on 31 March 20X1: INR/USD 57
Three month forward rate on 31 March 20X1: INR/USD 45
Six month forward rate on 1 January 20X1: INR/USD 55
Spot rate on 30 June 20X1: INR/USD 60
Let‟s assume that this contract has an embedded derivative that is not closely related and
requires separation. Please provide detailed journal entries in the books of Entity A for
accounting of such embedded derivative until sale is actually made.

Solution
The contract should be separated using the 6 month USD/INR forward exchange rate, as
at the date of the contract (INR/USD = 55). The two components of the contract are
therefore:
 A sale contract for INR 55 Million
 A six-month currency forward to purchase USD 1 Million at 55
 This gives rise to a gain or loss on the derivative, and a corresponding derivative asset
or liability.
On delivery
1. Entity A records the sales at the amount of the host contract = INR 55 Million
2. The embedded derivative is considered to expire.
3. The derivative asset or liability (i.e. the cumulative gain or loss) is settled by becoming
part of the financial asset on delivery.
4. In this case the carrying value of the currency forward at 30 June 20X1 on maturity is
= INR (1,000,000*60-55*1,000,000)=Rs 5,000,000 (profit/asset)

commitment to buy asset or a Highly probable Forecast Transaction which involves
cash flows.
(b) Hedging instrument – It may be investment in Derivative instrument or non-
derivative instrument such as (Futures, Forwards, Options, Swaps).
(c) Firm Commitment: A firm commitment is a binding agreement for the exchange of
specified quantity of resources at specified future date or dates.
(d) Highly Forecast Cash Flow Transaction: A forecast transaction is an uncommitted
but anticipated future transaction which involves cash inflow or outflow.

Conditions for Hedge Accounting:


1. There must be eligible hedging instrument and eligible hedged items
2. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there must be a formal designation and
documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity's risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
3. Hedge effectiveness should exist. It means economic relations between hedged items
and Hedging instruments should exist.

If the above conditions are not fulfilled, then Hedging accounting will not be permissible.
In that situation, we will follow normal derivative accounting separately for Hedged Item
and separate accounting for Hedging Instruments.

CASH FLOW HEDGE

If the entity is having risk of change in future cash flows (inflow or outflow) from:
Sale or purchase of stock in future;
 Sale or purchase of shares in future; or
 From collection or payment to debtors or creditors; or
 From highly forecast cash flow transaction.

Accounting Treatment
Step 1 – Fair value the Hedged Item (Recognised Asset/Liability) through OCI (Cash
Flow hedge reserve)

Step 2 – Fair value the hedging instruments (derivative contract) through OCI (Cash
Flow hedge reserve)

Step 3 – Amortise the actual loss over the life of contract by debiting Profit and Loss
a/c and crediting Cash Flow Hedge Reserve (OCI)

Step 4 – On settlement date, realise or settle the contract in cash. CFHR (OCI)
account will be nil.

Q216:
On 1 January 20X1, Company D issues a three-year 5.5% fixed rate bond of USD 15 million
at par. D's functional currency is sterling. As part of its risk management policy, D decides
to eliminate the exposure arising from movements in the US dollar/GBP exchange rates on
the principal amount of the bond for three years. D enters into a foreign currency forward
contract to buy USD 15 million and sell GBP 9,835,389 at 31 December 20X3.

D designates and documents the forward contract as the hedging instrument in a cash flow
hedge of the variability in cash flows arising from the repayment of the principal amount
of the bond due to movements in forward US dollar/sterling exchange rates.

D states in its hedge documentation that it will use the hypothetical derivative method to
assess hedge effectiveness. D identifies the hypothetical derivative as a forward contract
under which it sells USD 15 million and purchases GBP 9,835,389 at 31 December 20X3
(the repayment date of the bond). The hypothetical foreign currency forward contract has
a fair value of zero at 1 January 20X1. The spot and the forward exchange rates and the
fair value of the foreign currency forward contract are as follows:

Date Spot FWD FV of FWD


rate rate forward points
1-Jan-20X1 0.6213 0.6557 - 0.0344 USD 15,000,00
0
31-Dec-20X1 0.5585 0.5858 (957,205) 0.0273 Forward 516,000
points
31-Dec-20X2 0.5209 0.528 (1,833,346) 0.0071
31-Dec-20X3 0.5825 0.5825 (1,097,789) -
Pass necessary journal entries.

Solution

The hedge remains effective for the entire period, with changes in the fair value of the
forward contract and the hedging instrument being perfectly offset. Because D has
designated the variability in cash flows arising from movements in the forward rates as
the hedged risk, the entire change in the fair value of the forward contract is recognised
in OCI.

70
D-Fortune Classes & V’Smart Academy – CA. Jai Chawla

At each reporting date, G reclassifies from equity an amount equal to the movement in the
spot rate on the principal amount of the bond.

In addition, to ensure that the forward points recognised in OCI are reclassified fully to
profit or loss over the life of the hedge, D reclassifies from equity the forward points
recognised in OCI amortised over the life of the hedging relationship. Assuming that all
criteria for hedge accounting have been met, D records the following journal entries:

FAIR VALUE HEDGE

When there is a risk on Hedged item being other than Cash such as Inventory,
Gold, Shares of another co. held as investments or any other financial or non-
financial asset.

Under Fair value hedge, entity covers the risk by entering into hedging derivative
contract in Futures, Forwards or Options.

Accounting Treatment – Both the Hedged Items and Hedging Instrument are
measured at Fair Value through Profit and Loss a/c.

Exception: If equity instruments (not held for trading) are designated as FVTOCI
then measurement of Hedged item and Hedging Instrument shall be done through
OCI. This fair value gain or loss accumulated in OCI is not allowed to be recycled.
On sale of Investment in equity, this OCI shall be directly transferred to General
reserve.

Q218:
Entity has Investment in Equity shares of Infosys Ltd. On 1/03/18 carrying amount of
investments is Rs. 1500. Entity is worried about decrease in market price of equity share.
On the same date entity has entered into future contract (to sell) on shares of Infosys
Ltd. at Rs. 1400 for 3 months.
On 31/03/2018, Mp of equity shares (Non-derivative market) = Rs. 1425
And MV of 2 months Future contract on Infosys (Derivative market) = Rs. 1370

On Settlement date – MV of equity shares – Rs. 1350/-

Assume that entity has entered into Future contracts to hedge the risk of decrease in
price of Shares.

HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATION

Hedge of a net investment in foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item


that is accounted for as part of the net investment, shall be accounted for similarly to
cash flow hedges:

The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of
the hedge that has been accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve shall be
reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on the disposal
or partial disposal of the foreign operation.
