Non-Current Liabilities
__________________________________
Learning Objectives
And similar obligations which are related to the general financial condition of the enterprise
rather than to the operating cycle and are due beyond 12 months from the end of the reporting
period. Liabilities arising from finance lease that are not due within 12 months from the end of
the reporting period and deferred income tax liabilities are also classified as non-current
liabilities.
When a corporation desired to raise additional funds for long-term purposes, it may
borrow by issuing bonds and notes (debt financing) or it may obtain funds by issuing additional
share capital to shareholders (equity financing). Each source of funds has its particular
advantages and disadvantages to the issuing corporation.
In many cases, management and shareholders favor debt financing over equity financing
for the following reasons:
I. Since there will be no issuance of new ordinary shares, the present owners remain in
control of the corporation. By issuing bonds, therefore, a corporation does not spread or
dilute control of management over a larger number of owners.
II. The interest incurred in debt financing is a deductible expense in arriving at taxable
income while dividends o share capital are not.
III. The charge for interest on the debt may be less than the amount of dividends that might
be expected by shareholders.
Debt financing, however, has also its disadvantages. Apparently, an enterprise can avail of
debt financing only if it has adequate security offered to creditors. Moreover, interests on debt
are required to be paid periodically regardless of the enterprises financial performance and
financial position. If the interest is not paid on the dates specified by the contract, the creditors
may bring legal action and there is the possibility of takeover by the creditors.
BONDS PAYABLE
A bond is a formal unconditional promise, made under seal, to pay a specified sum of
money at a determinable future date, and to make periodic interest payment at a stated rate until
the principal sum is paid.
In simple language, a bond is a contract of debt whereby one party is called the issuer
borrows funds from another party called the investor.
A bond is evidenced by a certificate and the contractual agreement between the issuer and
investor is contained in another document known as bond indenture.
TYPES OF BONDS
CHAPTER 2: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
The fair value of the bonds payable is equal to the present value of the future cash
payments to be settled the bond liability.
Bond issue costs shall be deducted from the fair value or issue price of the bonds payable
in measuring initially the bond payable.
However, if the bonds are designated and accounted for at fair value through profit or
loss, the bond issue costs are treated as expense immediately.
Actually, the fair value of the bonds payable is the same as the issue price or net proceeds
from the issue of the bonds, excluding accrued interest.
The amortized cost of bonds payable is the amount at which the bond liability is
measured initially minus principal repayment, plus or minus the cumulative amortization
using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the
maturity amount.
Simply stated, the difference between the face amount and present value of the bonds
payable is amortized using the effective interest method.
Actually, the difference between the face amount and present value is either discount or
premium on the issuance of the bonds payable.
Accordingly, discount on bonds payable and bond issue cost are presented as deduction
from the bonds payable and premium bonds payable is an addition to bonds payable.
The premium on bonds payable is in effect gain on the part of the issuing entity,
because it receives more than what it is obligated to pay under the bond issue.
The obligation of the issuing entity is limited only to the face value of the bonds.
The premium on bonds payable, however, is not treated as an outright gain but amortized
over the life of the bond by
The discount in bonds payable is in effect a loss to the issuing entity, because it
receives less than what it is obligated to pay which is equal to the face value.
However, the discount on bonds payable is not treated as outright loss but amortized over
the life of the bonds by
Interest expense XX
Discount on bonds payable XX
Bond issue costs or transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable
to the issue of bonds payable.
Bond issue costs are not treated as outright expense but amortized over the life of the
bond issue in a manner similar to that used for discount on bonds payable.
Bond issue costs are conceived as cost of borrowing and therefore will increase interest
expense. The amortization of bond issue costs is recorded by
Interest expense XX
Bond issue cost XX
In order to reflect the total interest cost of the bonds, bond premium or discount should be
allocated over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. This allocation,
CHAPTER 2: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
To obtain a periods interest expense under this method, the bonds carrying value at the
beginning of each period is multiplied by the effective interest rate. The difference
between this amount and the amount of interest paid or accrued (nominal interest rate x
face value of the bonds) is the amount of discount or premium amortization.
The effective interest method or simply interest method or scientific method recognizes
two kinds of interest rate nominal rate and effective rate.
The nominal rate is the rate appearing on the face of the bonds while the effective rate is
the actual interest incurred on the bond issue.
The effective rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated cash future payments
through the expected life of the bonds payable or when appropriate, a shorter period to
the net carrying amount of the bonds payable.
If the bonds are sold at face value, the nominal rate and effective rate are the same.
If the bonds are sold at a discount, the effective rate is higher than nominal rate.
If the bonds are sold at a premium, the effective rate is lower than nominal rate.
In other words, under the fair value option, the bonds payable shall be measured initially
at fair value and remeasured at every year-end at fair value and any changes in fair value
are recognized in profit or loss.
There is no more amortization of bond issue cost, bond discount or bond premium.
As a matter of fact, interest expense is recognized using the nominal or stated interest rate
and not the effective interest rate.
RETIREMENT OF BONDS
The issuing corporation may retire bonds at maturity date or before the maturity date
either by redeeming the bonds or repurchasing them in the open market. If bonds retire at
their maturity date, any premium or discount will have been completely amortized. The
retirement is recorded as an ordinary payment of debt, and no gain or loss is recognized
upon the retirement on maturity date. Hence, the entry for the settlement of the bonds on
maturity date is:
Bonds payable XX
Cash XX
The amount of cash paid to the bondholders equals the face value of the bonds.
If the bonds retired prior to their maturity and retirement price is less than the carrying
amount of the bonds, the corporation realizes a gain on the retirement. The carrying value
is equal to the face value of the bonds plus any unamortized premium or less any
unamortized discount on the date of retirement. Similarly, if the retirement price is
greater than the carrying value, a loss is incurred on the retirement of the debt. Gain or
loss on the retirement of bonds is reported in profit or loss as an operating gain or loss.
If bonds are retired before maturity date, the following must be observed:
TREASURY BONDS
Treasury bonds are an entitys own bonds originally issued and reacquired but not
canceled.
When treasury bonds are acquired, the treasury bonds account is debited at face value
and any related unamortized premium or discount or issue cost is canceled.
CHAPTER 2: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
The difference between the acquisition cost and the carrying amount of the treasury
bonds is treated as gain or loss on acquisition of treasury bonds.
Treasury bonds are reported in the statement of financial position as a deduction from
bonds payable.
BOND REFUNDING
Bond refunding is the floating of new bonds payable the proceeds from which are used
in paying the original bonds payable.
Simply stated, bond refunding is the premature retirement of the old bonds payable
through the issuance of new bonds payable.
The refunding charges include the unamortized bond discount or premium, unamortized
bond issue cost and redemption premium on the bonds being refunded.
Accordingly, the refunding charges shall be accounted for as loss on early extinguish of
debt.
Usually, bonds of this nature are attractive to investors and will generally result in either a
relatively lower interest rate or greater proceed when compared with other bond issue
with similar risk but without such rights.
CONVERTIBLE BONDS
Another example of a compound financial instrument is convertible bond. Convertible
bonds give the holders thereof the right to exchange their bondholding into ordinary
shares or other securities of the issuing company within a specified period of time.
CHAPTER 2: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
The principle of splitting the issue price of a compound financial instrument to its debt
component and equity component is applied. The issue price of the convertible
component is comprised of two components: a financial liability and an equity
instrument. The total issue price to bifurcated using the residual approach.
Under IAS 39, an entity shall remove a financial liability from its statement of financial
position when, and only when, it is extinguished.
