Presentation
This standard requires an issuer to classify the instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition as a financial liability, a financial asset or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, a financial asset and an equity instrument. An instrument is an equity instrument if it evidences a residual interest in the net assets of the entity and both the following conditions are met:
The instrument includes no contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential unfavourable condition to theIn case of settlement by the issuer’s own equity instruments, it should be fixed to fixed contracts (no. of equity instruments and the price per unit of equity instruments is fixed).
Puttable Financial Instruments
As an exception, puttable instruments are classified as an equity instrument even if they meet the definition of financial liability. A puttable instrument is a financial instrument that gives the holder of the instrument 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.
Settlement Options
In case a derivative financial instruments provides an option to one party to choose between various modes of settlement (settlement net in cash or by exchanging shares for cash), such derivative instrument should be a financial asset or a financial liability unless all of the settlement alternatives would result in it being an equity instrument.
Compound Financial Instruments
It may be possible that a non-derivative financial instrument may contain both component of liability and component of equity as well. Such components shall be classified separately as financial liabilities or equity instruments. Example, bonds with an option to convert into equity.
Treasury shares
If an entity reacquires its own equity instruments, those instruments (‘treasury shares’) shall be deducted from 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. Such treasury shares may be acquired and held by the entity or by other members of the consolidated group. Consideration paid or received shall be recognised directly in equity.
Interest, dividends, losses and gains
An entity should recognise all interest, dividends, losses and gains related to the financial instrument as income or expense in profit or loss. Distributions to holders or transaction cost of an equity transaction should be recognised by the entity directly in equity.
Offsetting a financial asset and a financial liability
An entity should offset a financial asset and a financial liability and the net amount should be presented in the balance sheet only when it has:
current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; andintends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
An entity that undertakes a number of financial instrument transactions with a single counterparty may enter into a ‘master netting arrangement’ with that counterparty. Such an agreement provides for a single net s ettlement of all financial instruments covered by the agreement in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract.
Consolidated financial statements
An entity in its consolidated financial statements, when classifying a financial instrument (or a component of it) should consider all terms and conditions agreed between members of the group and the holders of the instrument in determining whether the group as a whole has an obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset in respect of the instrument or to settle it in a manner that results in liability classification.
