  • 3.5 FINANCIAL ASSETS and LIABILITIES Definitions 1. Financial Assets Include Cash, Equity Instruments of Other Entities
    128 SU 3: Financial Accounting I 3.5 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Definitions 1. Financial assets include cash, equity instruments of other entities (e.g., preference shares), contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets from other entities (e.g., accounts receivable), etc. 2. Financial liabilities include obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset (e.g., bonds or accounts payable), obligations to exchange financial instruments under potentially unfavorable conditions (e.g., written options), etc. Initial Recognition 3. A financial asset or liability is initially recognized only when the entity is a party to the contract. Thus, contract rights and obligations under derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively. a. A firm commitment to buy or sell goods or services ordinarily does not result in recognition until at least one party has performed. 1) However, certain contracts to buy or sell a nonfinancial item may result in recognition of an asset or liability. a) For example, a firm commitment to buy a commodity in the future that (1) can be settled in cash and (2) is not held for the purpose of receiving the commodity is treated as a financial instrument. Accordingly, its net fair value is recognized at the commitment date. b) If an unrecognized firm commitment is hedged in a fair value hedge,a change in its net fair value related to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability. 4. An issuer of a financial guarantee initially recognizes a liability and measures it at fair value. Subsequent measurement is at the greater of (a) the amount based on accounting for provisions or (b) the amortized amount.

  • IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the Basics Introduction
    www.pwc.com/ifrs9 IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the basics Introduction Revenue isn’t the only new IFRS to worry about for 2018—there is IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, to consider as well. Contrary to widespread belief, IFRS 9 affects more than just financial institutions. Any entity could have significant changes to its financial reporting as the result of this standard. That is certain to be the case for those with long-term loans, equity investments, or any non- vanilla financial assets. It might even be the case for those only holding short- term receivables. It all depends. Possible consequences of IFRS 9 include: • More income statement volatility. IFRS 9 raises the risk that more assets will have to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss as they arise. • Earlier recognition of impairment losses on receivables and loans, including trade receivables. Entities will have to start providing for possible future credit losses in the very first reporting period a loan goes on the books – even if it is highly likely that the asset will be fully collectible. • Significant new disclosure requirements—the more significantly impacted may need new systems and processes to collect the necessary data. IFRS 9 also includes significant new hedging requirements, which we address in a separate publication – Practical guide – General hedge accounting. With careful planning, the changes that IFRS 9 introduces might provide a great opportunity for balance sheet optimization, or enhanced efficiency of the reporting process and cost savings. Left too long, they could lead to some nasty surprises.

  • Accounting & Reporting of Financial Instruments 2016
    Accounting & Reporting of Financial Instruments 2016 Illustration 1 (Exchange of Financial Liability at Unfavorable terms) A company borrowed `50 lacs @ 12% p.a. Tenure of the loan is 10 years. Interest is payable every year and the principal is repayable at the end of 10th year. The company defaulted in payment of interest for the year 4, 5 and 6. A loan reschedule agreement took place at the end of 7 year. As per the agreement the company is required to pay `90 lacs at the end of 8th year. Calculate the additional amount to be paid on account of rescheduling and also the book value of loan at the end of 8th year when reschedule agreement took place. Solution Assumption: Interest is compounded in case of default. Outstanding Amount at the end of 8th year = `50,00,000 x 1.12 x 1.12 x 1.12 x 1.12 x 1.12 = `88,11,708 (i.e. adding interest for 4th to 8th year) Rescheduled amount to be paid at the end of the 8th year = `90,00,000 Additional amount to be paid on rescheduling = `90,00,000 - `88,11,708 = `1,88,292. Illustration 2 Entity A holds an option to purchase equity shares in a listed entity B for `100 per share at the end of a 90 day period. Evaluate the contract whether a financial asset or a financial liability? What if the entity A has written the option? Solution The above call option gives entity A, a contractual right to exchange cash of `100 for an equity share in another entity and will be exercised if the market value of the share exceeds `100 at the end of the 90 day period.

  • Credit Default Swap in a Financial Portfolio: Angel Or Devil?
    Credit Default Swap in a financial portfolio: angel or devil? A study of the diversification effect of CDS during 2005-2010 Authors: Aliaksandra Vashkevich Hu DongWei Supervisor: Catherine Lions Student Umeå School of Business Spring semester 2010 Master thesis, one-year, 15 hp ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to our supervisor Catherine Lions. Your valuable guidance and suggestions have helped us enormously in finalizing this thesis. We would also like to thank Rene Wiedner from Thomson Reuters who provided us with an access to Reuters 3000 Xtra database without which we would not be able to conduct this research. Furthermore, we would like to thank our families for all the love, support and understanding they gave us during the time of writing this thesis. Aliaksandra Vashkevich……………………………………………………Hu Dong Wei Umeå, May 2010 ii SUMMARY Credit derivative market has experienced an exponential growth during the last 10 years with credit default swap (CDS) as an undoubted leader within this group. CDS contract is a bilateral agreement where the seller of the financial instrument provides the buyer the right to get reimbursed in case of the default in exchange for a continuous payment expressed as a CDS spread multiplied by the notional amount of the underlying debt. Originally invented to transfer the credit risk from the risk-averse investor to that one who is more prone to take on an additional risk, recently the instrument has been actively employed by the speculators betting on the financial health of the underlying obligation. It is believed that CDS contributed to the recent turmoil on financial markets and served as a weapon of mass destruction exaggerating the systematic risk.

  • Derivative Securities
    2. DERIVATIVE SECURITIES Objectives: After reading this chapter, you will 1. Understand the reason for trading options. 2. Know the basic terminology of options. 2.1 Derivative Securities A derivative security is a financial instrument whose value depends upon the value of another asset. The main types of derivatives are futures, forwards, options, and swaps. An example of a derivative security is a convertible bond. Such a bond, at the discretion of the bondholder, may be converted into a fixed number of shares of the stock of the issuing corporation. The value of a convertible bond depends upon the value of the underlying stock, and thus, it is a derivative security. An investor would like to buy such a bond because he can make money if the stock market rises. The stock price, and hence the bond value, will rise. If the stock market falls, he can still make money by earning interest on the convertible bond. Another derivative security is a forward contract. Suppose you have decided to buy an ounce of gold for investment purposes. The price of gold for immediate delivery is, say, $345 an ounce. You would like to hold this gold for a year and then sell it at the prevailing rates. One possibility is to pay $345 to a seller and get immediate physical possession of the gold, hold it for a year, and then sell it. If the price of gold a year from now is $370 an ounce, you have clearly made a profit of $25. That is not the only way to invest in gold.

  • Interpretive Guidance on Financial Instruments March 2018 Financial Instruments
    Life Sciences Accounting and Financial Reporting Update — Interpretive Guidance on Financial Instruments March 2018 Financial Instruments Introduction Drug development is challenging, complex, time-consuming and costly. Every year, billions of dollars are spent developing new drugs, with some studies showing that the cost of bringing an asset to market increased to record levels in 2017.1 To fund the cost of drug development, life sciences entities frequently seek external financing. Many of the financing transactions include complex terms and conditions that require a careful accounting analysis. The SEC staff historically has focused on the classification of liabilities and equity in the balance sheet when equity instruments have redemption provisions or financial instruments possess characteristics of both liabilities and equity. For example, classification of convertible debt instruments and freestanding warrants is often scrutinized since they may contain both liability and equity components under U.S. GAAP. In addition, prospective SEC registrants in the life sciences industry may have previously outstanding instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity at the time they are approaching a potential initial public offering (IPO), or life sciences entities may issue new instruments in connection with a potential IPO. Even if certain instruments are already outstanding before an IPO, it may be appropriate for an instrument to be classified outside of permanent equity in accordance with SEC rules when public financial statements are initially filed. Further, for a life sciences entity that becomes a public company, there can be other accounting consequences that did not exist while the entity was private. Industry Issues The discussion below highlights guidance on the accounting for financial instruments that frequently affects life sciences entities.

  • Financial Derivatives Classification of Derivatives
    FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES A derivative is a financial instrument or contract that derives its value from an underlying asset. The buyer agrees to purchase the asset on a specific date at a specific price. Derivatives are often used for commodities, such as oil, gasoline, or gold. Another asset class is currencies, often the U.S. dollar. There are derivatives based on stocks or bonds. The most common underlying assets include stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates and market indexes. The contract's seller doesn't have to own the underlying asset. He can fulfill the contract by giving the buyer enough money to buy the asset at the prevailing price. He can also give the buyer another derivative contract that offsets the value of the first. This makes derivatives much easier to trade than the asset itself. According to the Securities Contract Regulation Act, 1956 the term ‘Derivative’ includes: i. a security derived from a debt instrument, share, loan, whether secured or unsecured, risk instrument or contract for differences or any other form of security. ii. a contract which derives its value from the prices or index of prices, of underlying securities. CLASSIFICATION OF DERIVATIVES Derivatives can be classified into broad categories depending upon the type of underlying asset, the nature of derivative contract or the trading of derivative contract. 1. Commodity derivative and Financial derivative In commodity derivatives, the underlying asset is a commodity, such as cotton, gold, copper, wheat, or spices. Commodity derivatives were originally designed to protect farmers from the risk of under- or overproduction of crops. Commodity derivatives are investment tools that allow investors to profit from certain commodities without possessing them.
