2. Financial Instruments - FI :
is any contract that gives rise to a Financial Asset - FA of one Entity and a Financial Liability - FL or Equity
Instruments - EI of another Entity.
Case Study - 2.1
FA FL
Case Study - 2.2
Mr. Q Invests Equity Shares of FX Limited
FA EI
3. Financial Assets -
FA : includes:
a) Cash : a deposit of cash with a Bank or any Financial Institution is a FA as it represents right to obtain
cash from bank/ Financial Institution.
b. an Equity instrument (EI) of another Entity
c. Contractual Right to receive cash or another Financial Asset from other entity.
Examples :
Debtors
Trade Receivables
Investments in Debentures of any other Entity
Investments in Preference shares of an Entity
Loans given

Corporate Financial Reporting
f. A contract that will or may be settled in entity's own EI and for which Entity is or may be obliged to
receive a variable number of Entity's own EI.
Case Study - 3.2
Entity Q Sells plot of land to Mr. S (who is also a shareholder of Entity Q)

Financial Instruments
Note: Contracts to issue variable number of own equity shares are also considered as EI
6. Analytical Points
If there is any statutory right to receive cash or statutory obligation to deliver cash, then it will not be classified
as
1. Financial asset or financial Liability for example Income tax Payable
2. If an entity issued PS or Debentures or takes a loan i.e. in case of borrowings by an entity then entity
needs to classify that borrowings as FL or EI on the basis of the following:
a. If interest/dividend payable on such borrowings is mandatory then classify it as FL however if not
mandatory then classify it as EI
b. If such borrowing is Redeemable then treat it as FL
if such borrowings is irredeemable then treat it as EI
c. If such borrowings is convertible in
Equity instruments
Equity
Equity CFI
3. if any borrowings by the entity has mix features of FL & EI then it is called as CFI - Compound Financial
Instrument.
4. It is important to note that CFI classification is possible only from perspective of Entity raising money or
borrowing i.e. issuer.
5. From the view point of Investor (holder) - who is investing in PS /Debentures / ES of any entity , it will be
FA only.
6. Interest / dividend income on FA is recognised in PL
7. Interest / Dividend Expense on FL is recognised in PL
8. Interest/ Dividend Expense on EI is recognised in Retained Earnings
9. How one would treat preference Shares that are redeemable at the option of entity?
Entity shall treat such shares as Equity Instruments as these shares are redeemable at the option of the
company and such there is no obligation to deliver cash or any other FA.
10. An entity issues non-redeemable Preference shares with dividend payments limited to ordinary shares.
Such shares shall be treated as EI as there is no obligation with respect to Principal and dividend payments.

Financial Instruments
Recognised as
FA FL Equity
Measured as
Fair Value through P/L - FVTPL Fair Value Through OCI - FVTOCI Amortised Cost
7.1
FVTPL : Simply means that changes in the fair value of FA shall be transferred to SPL
FVTPL
Note :The term trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and
selling. Indirectly it means FI has been acquired primarily for
sale/purchase in near future.
On the other hand category (b) is a forced designation to avoid
Only following FA are shown at FVTPL
accounting mismatch.
Investment in Equity shares of other entity can be shown at FVTOCI
also. In that case, it will be an irrevocable choice that is entity shall have
to follow it forever and it cannot show it as Investment in equity shares at
Investments in Equity shares of other entity FVTPL again in future.
Derivative FA
Accounting:
Under this method entity shall recognise the FA or FL at fair value
Dividend will be recognised at coupon rate directly in PL.
7
Corporate Financial Reporting
At each year end, difference between FV at balance sheet date and at which it was previously recorded shall
be recognised as FV Gain/Loss in PL.
Transaction cost is not added/deducted from FV on initial recognition of FA or FL at FVTPL.
Transaction cost shall be charged to PL
7.2
FVTOCI
Signifies that changes in Fair Value of Financial Instrument is transferred to OCI - which is presented
below the P/L
If intention is to hold the asset for some time and sell it before maturity that is here intention is to
collect CCF ( contractual cash flows) and also to collect cash from sale of asset by taking advantage
of market prices.
Under this method , entity shall apply accounting as follows:
Same as ACM ( discussed below) but on each balance sheet date, FA shall be shown at FV.
Difference between carrying amount as per ACM & FV is recognised as FV Gain/Loss in OCI.
Balance in FV Reserve (OCI) will be reclassified to PL on sale of such FA.
In case of Investment in Equity Shares ( which are generally measured at FVTPL ) shown at FVTOCI
under irrevocable option, FV Reserve (OCI) , on sale of such Investment shall be transferred to
retained earnings directly that is it is an item of OCI which cannot be reclassified to PL
7.3
Amortised Cost method (ACM):
Under the concept, transactions are recorded using effective interest rate that is real rate rather than
coupon rate.
ERI is nothing but IRR - where PVs of cash inflows are equal to PVs of Outflows.
If intention is to hold the asset till maturity that is intention here is to collect only CCF of the asset (
Interest & Principal)
FL are generally measured at amortised cost method only.
Only two FL should be measured at FVTPL
Derivate FL
Financial Guarantee
Accounting :
Under this method entity shall initially recognise FA or FL at Fair Value ( adjusted with transaction cost)
Fair Value
If transaction is done at market terms that If transaction is done at off market terms
is only effective Interest rate (EIR) is given i.e. Market Interest Rate on similar
in the question instrument is given in question

9. Transaction Costs:
Transaction Costs (TC) are incremental costs i.e. entity would not have incurred such costs if it had not
issued or acquired or disposed of FI.
such costs are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue or disposal of FA/FL.
TC Include
Fee or Commission
Legal Fee
Transfer Fee
Taxes
Duties and levies
However, following are not considered as transaction costs:
Premium on Redemption
discount on issue
15
Corporate Financial Reporting
financing costs
9.1 Accounting For Transaction Costs
At the time of initial recognition, TC should also be considered.
If FA/FL is classified as FVTPL then TC should be charged to P/L.
If FA/FL is classified as FVTOCI or Amortised Cost then TC is added (FA) or subtracted (FL) from FA or FL
respectively.
For example, if an Entity has paid say any brokerage on acquisition of FA and Fair Value say is `100 lakhs
and brokerage amounts to `2 lakhs and further presuming FA is classified as FVTOCI then TC of `2 lakhs
shall be added to FA and it FA shall be recognised at `102 lakhs.
on the other hand if Entity has issued say `1,00,000 10% Debentures (classified as FVTOCI) and has paid
say `2,000 as TC then FL shall be recognised at `98,000.

Transaction Costs related to Equity Instruments should be deducted from Equity.
Case Study - 10.1
F-500 bought a debt instrument- that is classified as FVTOCI. How does entity recognise interest income.
Answer:
As per Ind AS 109, Interest Income should be recognised by considering effective rate of Interest i.e. Market
rate of interest.
Case Study - 10.2
F-600 placed its privately held Equity Shares that are classified as Equity, with stock exchange and
simultaneously raises new capital by issuing Equity Shares on the stock exchange.
Transaction cost i.e. share issue expenses incurred in respect of both the transactions. Determine the
treatment of TC.
Response:
In the given case, there are two transactions viz. a. listing of shares &
b. Issue of new equity shares
TC related to Listing of shares shall not be considered for deduction in Equity. It will be debited to P/L.TC
related to new Issue only should be recognised and deducted from Equity.
Case Study 10.3
F-700 Limited issues non-redeemable callable bonds with 6% coupon. Coupon can be deferred in perpetually
at issuer's option.
Issuer has history of payment of coupon each year and the current bond price is predicted on holder's
expectation that coupon will be continued to be paid.
In addition .the stated policy of the issuer is that the coupon will be paid each year and that is publically
communicated.
Response:
A non-redeemable callable Bond with option to defer coupon at Issuer's option should be treated as Equity
Instruments as Issuer is not having any contractual obligation to deliver cash or FA.
As such TC related to these instruments should be subtracted from Equity
Case Study 10.4
Evaluate the TC related to Zero Coupon Bond.
Response: A zero coupon Bond i.e. an instrument where no interest is payable during the life of Instrument
and normally issued at deep ( high) discount to the value at which redeemable. As per the terms of issue, the
Entity does not have any obligation to pay Interest- however, Entity has obligation to redeem the debentures
at a future point of time.
As such, Instrument should be categorised as FL and TC should be subtracted from it.
Case Study - 10.5
F-800 Limited issued redeemable shares at market rate in the current year.
Also, the entity distributed Preference dividend in the current year.
Can Preference Dividend be presented as a deduction from Equity?
Response:
17
Corporate Financial Reporting
Redeemable Preference Shares are FL and therefore preference dividend paid on these shares should be
treated as an expense and presented in the P/L along with Finance Cost.
Case Study - 10.6
F-900 limited has declared dividend on financial Instruments - which have been classified as FL, after the end
of reporting period.
Whether, the entity is required to reflect such dividend in the Financial Statements for the year, even if it has
declared dividend after the end of the reporting period?
Response:
Payment of dividend or Interest on FI classified as FL, accrues at the end of the reporting period, even if it is
paid or declared after the end of the reporting period.
Accordingly, F-900 should account such dividend, even if it is declared after the end of the reporting period.
preference dividend on Preference shares classified as FL should be debited to P/L under finance cost.
12. Derivatives:
It is a contract between 2 parties for purchase or sale of an underlying asset on certain future date for a
certain price
Underlying asset can be shares, currency etc.
Examples of derivative contracts are Forward contracts, Option Contracts, future contracts etc.
As per Ind AS 109, Derivatives have following characteristics:
Derivative contracts do not have any value of its own but derives its value from the underlying asset and Its
value changes in response to changes in the value of Underlying asset.
Requires nil or insignificant investment( Premium paid for purchase of an option contract)
Settled at a Future Date.
Settlement could be as follows:
Forward and option contracts : Through Physical delivery or on Net cash basis
Future Contracts - Settled on Net cash basis only
Accounting
If Derivative contract is:
Potentially Favourable for the entity : Recognised as FA i.e. Derivate Financial Asset
18
Financial Instruments
Potentially unfavourable for the entity then recognised as FL i.e. Derivative Financial Liability
Is always measured at FVTPL
Fair value of Derivative Contract
a. at Initial Recognition i.e. contract date : is generally zero. However, if there is some cost/ premium paid to
enter into Derivative contract, then that amount will be considered as Fair Value ( potentially favourable)
b. At each balance sheet date : Difference between Price of underlying asset on contract date and balance
sheet date will be recognised as fair value gain/loss in PL
11.1 Forward Contract:
Is simply a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified future time and at a specified
price agreed today.
Example:
Mister F enters into a contract with stock broker on 1.10.23 for purchase of say 1,000 shares of Tata Steel
Limited at `440 per share on 1.1.24.
In this case, irrespective of the price on 1.1.24, Stock broker shall have to sell shares to Mr. F.
Now, if the Price of the share happens to be more than `440 on settlement date i.e. 1.1.24, then Mr. F will be
at a Profit.
12.2 Future Contract:
Futures and Forwards are essentially one and same except that Futures take place on recognised Stock
Exchanges - which act as a market place for buyers and sellers.
Buyers of the contracts are said to be at a LONG POSITION (advantageous) while Seller are said to be at
SHORT POSITION (Dis-advantageous) .
Since , parties are undertake risks and there is always a possibility that on settlement date counterparty may-
track.
For the same parties are asked to deposit some margin money with the Stock Exchanges.
In the previous Example if contract to purchase shares of Tata Steel is entered on a RSE then both the
parties shall have to deposit some margin amount for honouring the contact
12.3 Options:
An option is a contract that gives the buyer ( the holder of the options0 the right but not the obligation to buy
or sell the underlying asset or instrument on a specified date and price.
Continuing the same example, Mr. F who purchased the options to buy (call options) @ `440 from stock
broker say has paid a premium amount of `2 per share.
In this Case Mr. F is buyer of options that is Mr. F shall have the choice to buy the shares or not on the
specified date.
Since Mr. F shall enjoy such rights he will initially pay some margin or Premium to Seller ( otherwise why
seller shall give such rights to buyer) -which in this case is `2 per share i.e`2x 10,000 = `20,000.
Now suppose on specified date Mr. F is interested in buying the shares and price on the settlement date is
say `500 per share.
Mr. F shall pay ` 1,000 x`440 Less `20,000 =`4,20,000
Also Mr. F can sell these shares in the market @ `500 per share and he can make a profit of 1,000 x `60
( 500 - `440) that is `60,000
12.4 Accounting Aspects
Case Study 12.4.1:
