A loan receivable is a financial asset arising from a loan granted by a bank or other
financial institution to a borrower or client and the repayment periods cover several
years.
An entity shall measure a loan receivable at fair value (transaction price) plus
transaction costs (including direct origination costs however indirect origination costs
should be treated as outright expense) that are directly attributable to the acquisition of
the financial asset.
Loan receivable shall be measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method.
If the initial amount recognized is lower than the principal amount, the amortization of
the difference is added to the carrying amount.
If the initial amount recognized is higher than the principal amount, the amortization of
the difference is deducted from the carrying amount.
Origination fees:
Are the fees charged by the bank against the borrower for the creation of the loan
Also includes compensation for the activities such as evaluating the borrower’s
financial condition, evaluating guarantees, collateral and other security, negotiating
the terms of the loan, preparing and processing documents and closing the loan
transaction
If received from the borrower are recognized as unearned interest income and
amortized over the term of the loan
If not chargeable against the borrower, the fees are known as direct origination costs
which will be deferred and also amortized over the term of the loan
If received and it exceeds the direct origination costs, the difference is unearned
interest income and the amortization will increase interest income
If direct origination costs exceed the origination fees received the difference is
charged to direct and the amortization will decrease interest income

PAS 39, paragraph 58, provides that an entity shall assess at every end of reporting
period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired.
Objective evidence of impairment may result from certain “loss events” occurring after
the initial recognition of the financial asset.
