Current Liabilities Q 1 Chapter 1 Current Liabilities Related standards: PAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements PAS 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation PERS 9: Financial Instruments Learning Objectives 1. State the recognition criteria for liabilities. 2. Identify the characteristics of a financial liability. 3. Classify liabilities as current and noncurrent. 4, State the initial and subsequent measurements of financial and non-financial liabilities. Liability Liability is “a present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events.” (Conceptual Framework 4.26) The definition of liability has the following three aspects: a. Obligation b. Transfer of an economic resource c. Present obligation as a result of past events Obligation An obligation is “a duty or responsibility that an entity has no practical ability to avoid.” (Conceptual Framework 4.29) An obligation is either: a. Legal obligation — an obligation that results from a contract, legislation, or other operation of law; or b. Constructive obligation - an obligation that results from an entity’s actions (e.g., past practice or published policies) that Scanned with CamScannerChapter 4 2 create a valid expectation on others that the entity will Accept and discharge certain responsibilities. An obligation is always owed to another party. However, it is not necessary that the identity of that party is known, for example, an obligation for environmental damages may be owed to the society at large. One party’s obligation normally corresponds to anothe party's right. For example, a buyer’s obligation to pay an accounts payable of #100 normally corresponds to the seller's right to collect an accounts receivable of ®100. However, this accountin, symmetry is not maintained at all times because the Standards sometimes contain different recognition and measuremen; requirements for the liability of one party and the corresponding asset of the other party. For example, direct origination costs result to different measurements of the lender’s loan receivable and the borrower's loan payable. Similarly, a seller may be tequired to recognize a warranty obligation but the buyer would not recognize a corresponding asset for that warranty. There can be instances where the existence of an obligation is uncertain. Until that uncertainty is resolved (for example, by a court ruling), it is uncertain whether a liability exists. Transfer of an economic resource The liability is the obligation that has the potential to require the transfer of an economic resource to another party and not the future economic benefits that the obligation may cause to be transferred. Thus, the obligations potential to cause a transfer of economic benefits need not be certain, or even likely, for example, the transfer may be required only if a specified uncertain future event occurs. What is important is that the obligation already exists and that, in at least one circumstance, it would require the entity to transfer an economic resource. Consequently, a liability can exist even if the probability of a transfer of an economic resource is low, although that low probability affects decisions on whether the liability is to be Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilities recognized, how it is measured, what information is to be provided about the liability, and how that information is ay provided. (Conceptual Framework 4.37 &e 4 38) An obligation to transfer an economic resource may be an obligation to: a. pay cash, deliver goods, or render services; b. exchange assets with another party on unfavorable terms; c. transfer assets if a specified uncertain future event occurs; or d. issue a financial instrument that obliges the entity io transfer an economic resource. Present obligation as a result of past events The obligation must be a present obligation that exists as a result of past events. A present obligation exists as a result of past events if: a. the.entity has already obtained economic benefits or taken an action; and b. asa consequence, the entity will or may have to transfer an economic resource that it would not otherwise have had to transfer. (Conceptual Framework 4.43) : Examples: _Entity A intends to acquire goods i Analysis: Entity A has no present obligation. A present obligation arises only when Entity A: a. has already purchased and received the goods; and b. asa consequence, Entity A will have to pay for the purchase price. | Entity B operates a nuclear power plant. In the current year, ane | law was enacted penalizing the improper disposal of toxic waste. | LNo similar law existed in prior years. _f Fi Scanned with CamScannerChapter 1 Analysis: The enactment of legislation is not in itself sufficient to result in an entity’s present obligation, except when the entity: a. has already taken an action contrary to the provisions of that law; and b. asaconsequence, the entity will have to pay for a penalty, Accordingly: - Entity B has no present obligation if its existing method of waste disposal does not violate the new law. Similarly, Entity B has no present obligation if it can avoid penalty by changing its future method of waste disposal. - On the other hand, Entity B has a present obligation if its previous waste disposal /tas already caused damnges, and as a consequence, Entity B has to pay for those damages. _ Entity C enters into an irrevocable commitment with another ; party to acquire goods inthe future, oncredit, Analysis: A non-cancellable future commitment gives rise to a present obligation only when it becomes onerous (i.e., burdensome), for example, if the goods become obsolete before the delivery but Entity C cannot cancel the contract without paying a substantial penalty, ~ Unless it becomes burdensome, no present obligation normally arises from a future commitment. [Although not stated in the sales contract, Entity D has a publicly | known policy of providing free repair services for the goods it _ sells, Entity D has consistently honored this implied policy in the | past. Analysis: Entity D has a present constructive obligation to provide free repair services for the goods it has already sold because: A Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilities : . id Entity D has already taken an action by creating vali expectations on the customers that it will provide free repair services; and / i b. as a consequence, Entity D will have to provide those free services. i ee — | Entity E obtained a loan from a bank. Repayment of the loan is Analysis: Entity E has a present obligation because it has already received the loan proceeds, and as a consequence, has to make the repayment, even : though the bank cannot enforce the repayment until a future date. | Entity F has caused environmental damages. Although, no law _ exists penalizing such act, Entity F believes it has an obligation to _tectify the damages. However, the identity of the party to whom |: [ithe obligation is owed cannot be specifically identified. | Analysis: Entity F has a present obligation because it has already caused the damages, and as a consequence, hs to rectify the damages, even if the identity of the party to whom the obligation is owed is no\ specifically known. Analysis: Entity G has no present obligation to pay salary until after Mr. Juan has rendered service. Before then, the contract is executory - Entity G has a combined tight and obligation to exchange future salary for Mr. Juan’s future service. Scanned with CamScannerChapter Executory contracts An executory contract “is a contract that is equall neither party has fulfilled any of its obligation: have partially fulfilled their obligations to (Conceptual Framework 4.56) : An executory contract establishes a combined ti ht obligation to exchange economic resources, oe a interdependent and inseparable. Thus, the two constitute a i asset or liability. The entity has an asset if the terms of the conte are favorable; a liability if the terms are unfavourable. Howeve, whether such an asset or liability is included in the financiay statements depends on the recognition criteria and the selecteg measurement basis, including any assessment of whether the contract is onerous. The contract ceases to be executory when one Party performs its obligation. If the entity performs first, the entity’s combined right and obligation changes to an asset. If the other party performs first, the entity’s combined right and obligation changes to a liability. ly “nperformeg S, oF both parte an equal exten» Continuing the previous example: - Entity G neither recognizes an asset nor a liability upon entering the employment contract with Mr. Juan because, at that point, the contract is executory. - If Mr. Juan renders service, the contract ceases to be executory, and Entity G’s combined right and obligation changes to @ liability - an obligation to pay Mr. Juan’s salary (e.g, salaries payable). - If Entity G pays Mr. Juan’s salary in advance, Entity Cs combined right and obligation changes to an asset - a right '0 receive the service or a right to be reimbursed if the service IS not received (e.g., advances to employees). Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilities Recognition criteria An item is recognized if: a. it meets the definition of a liability; and b. recognizing it would provide useful information, i.e., relevant and faithfully represented information. Both the criteria above must be met before an item is recognized. Accordingly, items that meet the definition of a liability but do not provide useful information are not recognized, and vice versa. However, even if a liability is not recognized, information about it may still need to be disclosed in the notes. In such cases, the item is referred to as unrecognized liability. Relevance Recognition may not provide relevant information if, for example: a. itis uncertain whether a liability exists; or b. a liability exists, but the probability of an outflow of economic benefits is low. (Conceptual Framework 5.12) Existence uncertainty or low probability of an outflow of economic benefits may result in, but does not automatically lead to, the non-recognition of a liability. Other factors should be considered. Faithful representation A liability must be measured for it to be recognized. Often, measurement requires estimation and thus subject to measurement uncertainty. The use of reasonable estimates is an essential part of financial reporting and does not necessarily undermine the usefulness of information. Even a high level of measurement uncertainty does mot necessarily preclude an estimate from providing. useful information if the estimate is clearly and accurately described and explained. However, an exceptionally high measurement uncertainty can affect the faithful Tepresentation of a liability.

A contractual obligation to deliver cash or another fin asset to another entity; b. A contractual obligation to exchange financial: assets financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity; or c. A contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is nof classified as the entity's ow, -equity instrument. ‘aNcial Non-financial liability — is a liability other than a financial liability, Examples of financial liabilities a. Payables, such as accounts, notes, loans, bonds and accrued payables Lease liabilities : Held for trading liabilities and derivative liabilities Redeemable preference shares issued Security deposits and other returnable deposits The following are not! financial liabilities: a.

Commodity contracts that can be settled net in cash other financial instrument are financial instruments. Such ? Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilitics commodity contract is a financial asset to the party to whom conditions are potentially favorable, and a financial liability to the party to whom conditions are potentially unfavorable. Presentation of financial instruments The issuer classifies a financial instrument, or its component parts, as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contract (rather than its legal form) and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability and an equity instrument. > Equity instrument — is “any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.” (PAS 32.11) : This definition reflects the basic accounting equation “Assets — Liabilities = Equity.” When determining whether a financial instrument is a financial liability or an equity instriment, the overriding consideration is whether the instrument meets the definition of a financial liability. Financial liability ~ Equity instrument > The entity has a contractual | > The entity has no obligation obligation to pay cash or to pay cash or another another financial asset or to financial asset or to exchange financial ~ exchange financial instruments under instruments under potentially unfavorable potentially unfavorable : condition, condition. oe A contract is not an equity instrument merely because it is : - settled in the entity’s own equity instruments, The following a ben applies when a contract requires settlement in the wn equity instruments: Scanned with CamScanner10 _ Chapter; Financial liability Equity instrument > a) b): a) b) The contract requires the delivery* of: a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset; or a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments in exchange for a variable amount of cash or another financial asset. Examples: Variable number for a fixed amount: © acontract to deliver as many shares as are equal to” P100,000. Fixed number for a variable amount: © acontract to deliver 1,000 shares in exchange for an amount of cash equal to the value of 100 grams of gold. > The contract requires the delivery (receipt) of a fixed number of the entity’s own - equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset. > Example: a share option that gives the holder the right to buy 1,000 shares of the issuer for P10 per share.

Fixed number for a variable amount. |» Fixed number for a fixed Equity instrument amount. Scanned with CamScanner11 Current Liabilities An essential feature of an equity instrument is the absence of a contractual obligation to pay cash or another financial asset. This is true even if the holder of the instrument is entitled to pro rata share in dividends or of the net assets of the entity in case of liquidation. Legal form is also irrelevant when determining if a financial instrument is a financial liability or an equity instrument. Some instruments are in the form of shares of stocks but the issuer classifies them as financial liabilities if they meet the definition of a financial liability. Redeemable preference shares Callable preference shares are preferred stocks which - the holder has the right‘to redeem at a set date. are classified as financial are preferred stocks which the issuer has the right to call at a set date. are classified as equity instrument because the right to call is at the discretion of the issuer and therefore has no obligation to pay unless it chooses to call on the shares. liability because when the holder exercises its right to redeem, the issuer is mandatorily obligated to pay for the redemption price. IFRIC 2 Members’ Shares in Co-operative Entities and Similar Instruments addresses the classification of members’ shares in cooperatives. IFRIC 2 uses the same principles as those of PAS 32. Members’ shares in cooperative entities and similar instruments are equity if: a. The entity has an unconditional right to refuse redemption of the members’ shares, or b. Redemption is unconditionally prohibited by law or relevant regulation.

Classification of Financial Liabilities All financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for the following: a. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and derivative liabilities - subsequently measured at fair value (e.g,, designated or held for trading). b. Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition - subsequently measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the entity has retained. c. Financial guarantee contracts and Commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate — subsequently measured at the higher of: i, the amount of the loss allowance (12-month expected credit losses); and ii, the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the principles of PFRS 15. d. Contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination - subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Reclassification of financial liabilities after initial recognition is prohibited. Measurement of Financial Liabilities Initial measurement Financial liabilities are initially ee at fair value minus transaction costs, except FVPL. Financial liabilities classified as FVPL are initially measured at: fair value. The transaction costs are expensed immediately. Scanned with CamScanner14 Chapter Subsequent measurement >» Financial liabilities classified as amortized cost ate subsequently measured at amortized cost. > Financial liabilities classified as held for trading a, subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in profit or loss. > Financial liabilities designated at FVPL are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognizeq as follows: a. The amount of change in the fair value of the financia] liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, and b. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability is presented in profit or loss. Measurement of Non-financial liabilities Non-financial liabilities are initially measured at the best estimate of the amounts needed to settle those obligations or the measurement basis required by other applicable standard, eg, deferred tax liabilities are measured under PAS 12 Income Taxes. Examples of non-financial liabilities: a. Obligations arising from statutory requirements (e.g., income tax payable) b. Warranty obligations c. Unearned or deferred revenues d. Commodity contracts that either cannot be settled in cash oF which are expected to be settled by commodity exchange Subsequently, non-financial liabilities are also measured at the best estimate of the amounts needed to settle the obligations adjusted for any changes on the expected settlement amounts. Adjustments are treated as changes in accounting estimates and are accounted for prospectively. Some non-financial liabilities a" subsequently measured in accordance with the requirements od Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilities 15 other standards (e.g., deferred tax liabilities accordance with PAS 12), are measured in Financial statement presentation Liabilities are presented as either (a) current or (b) noncurrent on the face of a classified statement of financial position. A classified statement of financial position is one that shows current and noncurrent distinctions. When an entity presents an unclassified statement of financial position (based on liquidity), disclosures of liabilities due within one year and due beyond one year should nevertheless be made in the notes. Current liabilities Current liabilities are liabilities that are: a. Expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle; b. Held primarily for trading; c. Due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period; or d.. The entity does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent. “The operating cycle of an entity is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. When the entity’s normal operating cycle is not clearly identifiable, it is assumed to be 12 months.” (PAS 1.68) Liabilities that are settled as part of the entity's normal operating cycle (e.g., trade payables and some accruals for employee and other operating costs) are presented as current, even if they are expected to be settled beyond 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Liabilities that do not form part of the entity's normal Operating cycle (e.g., non-operating liabilities) are presented as Scanned with CamScannerL 16 Chapter current only when they are expected to be settled within R months after the end of the reporting period. Examples of current liabilities: a. Financial assets measured at FVPL (i.e., designated or held fo, trading) b. Current portion of long-term notes, bonds, loans, and lease liabilities c. Trade accounts and notes payables d. Non-trade payables due within 12 months after the end of the reporting period e. Unearned income expected to be earned within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. f. Bank overdrafts Trade.and non-trade payables Trade payables are obligations arising from purchases of inventory that are sold in the ordinary course of business. Other payables are classified as non-trade. For a trading or manufacturing entity, trade and non-trade payables that are currently due are normally aggregated and presented as one line item under the heading “Trade and other payables.” The reason for the trade and non-trade distinctions is the differing rules when classifying payables as current or noncurrent. > Trade payables are classified as current liabilities when they are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle ot one year, whichever is longer. On the other hand, non-trade payables are classified as current ~ liabilities only when they are expected to be settled within one year. Financial institutions need not classify their payables 4 trade or non-trade because their statement of financial position is Presented based on liquidity, ie, no current and non-curte !

Examples of payables Accounts payable — obligations not supported by formal promises to pay by the debtor. Notes payable - obligations supported by promissory notes by the debtor. . Loans payable — usually used to connote bank loans. Bonds payable — obligations issued by the debtor supported by promises to pay made under seal. Liabilities under trust receipts, e.g., before the corresponding liability to the bank is paid, the goods are released to the buyer in trust for the bank which advanced the money for the importation of the goods. “ Other payables arising from sources other than purchases and borrowings, such as dividends payable, taxes payable, remittances payable, and accrued expenses.

However, the obligation is classified as noncurrent if the entity has the right, at the end of the reporting period, to roll over the obligation for at least twelve months after the reporting period under an existing loan facility. Without such right, the entity does not consider the potential to refinance the obligation and classifies the obligation as current. An entity’s right to defer settlement must have substance and must exist at the end of the reporting period. If the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the right exists at the end of the reporting period only if the entity complies with those conditions at the end of the reporting period, even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date. “Classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If a liability meets the criteria for classification as non-current, it is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects the entity to settle the liability within twelve months after the reporting period, or even if the entity settles the liability between the end of the reporting period and the date the financial statements are authorized for issue, However, in either of those circumstances, the entity may need to disclose information about the timing of settlement to enable users of its financial statements to understand the impact of the liability on the entity’s financial position.” (PAS 1.72A) > + Refinancing refers to the replacement of an existing debt with a new one but with different terms, e.g., an extended maturity date or # revised payment schedule. A refinancing wherein the debtor is under financial distress is called “troubled debt restructuring.” ~ Loan facility refers to a credit line. Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilities 1 Illustration: Refinancing Fact patiern On December 31, 20x1, ABC Co. has a PI, 000,000 loan payable that is maturing on July 1, 20x2, ABC’s 20x] financial statements were authorized for issue on March 15, 20x2. Case 1: No right to defer settlement On February 1, 20x2, ABC Co. enters into a refinancing agreement with a bank to refinance the loan on a long-term basis. Both parties are financially capable of honoring the agreement's provisions. The original loan contract does not state any refinancing option. Analysis: The loan is presented as a current liability in ABC Co.’s Dec. 31, 20x1 statement of financial position despite the refinancing on Feb. 1, 20x2 because, as of Dec. 31, 20x1, ABC Co. does not have a right to defer/postpone the settlement. The refinancing agreement is disclosed in the 20x1 notes as a non-adjusting event after the reporting period. Case 2: With right to defer settlement On February 1, 20x2, ABC Co. enters into a refinancing agreement with the bank to roll over the loan for another four years. ABC Co. has the option to roll over the loan under the existing loan contract and, as of December 31, 20x1, ABC Co. has complied with all the conditions for the rollover. Analysis: The loan is presented as a noncurrent liability in ABC Co.'s Dec. 31, 20x1 statement of financial position because ABC Co. has the right, as of Dec. 31, 20x1, to roll over the obligation for at least twelve months after the reporting period under the existing loan agreement. Case 3: With right to defer settlement — interest payable The facts are the same as in Case 2. In addition, 10% interest on the loan is due annually every July 1. Scanned with CamScanner1 22 Chapter Analysis: The 1,000,000 principal on the loan is presented noncurrent (see discussion in Case 2 above). However, the P50,009 (oy x 10% x 6/12) interest payable on the loan is presented as current, Case 4: Refinancing completed as of end of reporting period On December 7, 20x1, ABC Co. enters into a refinancing agreement with the bank to roll over the loan for another four years. The Tollove; is completed in December 20x1. Analysis: The loan is #6ncurrent because the rollover on a long-term basis is completed as of the end of reporting period. Therefore, the loan does not meet the definition of a current liability as of Dec. 31, 20x1, Liabilities payable on demand A liability that is payable upon the demand of the lender is classified as current even if the lender agreed after the end of the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorized for issue not to demand repayment. This is because the entity does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability. However, a liability that is payable on demand is classified as noncurrent if the lender provides the entity by the end of the reporting period (e.g., on or before December 31) a grace period ending at least twelve months after the reporting period within which the entity can rectify a breach of loan covenant and during which the lender cannot demand immediate repayment. Illustration: On January 1, 20x1, ABC Co. took a 3- -year, P1,000,000 loan from a bank. The loan agreement requires ABC to maintain a current ratio of 2:1. If the current ratio falls below 2:1, the loan becomes payable on demand. As of December 31, 20x1, ABC’s current ratio is 1.8:1. Case 1: Obligation payable on demand : Despite the breach of the loan covenant (ie., fall of current rati below 2:1), there is no indication on December 31, 20x1 that the bank will demand repayment over the next 12 months. F Scanned with CamScannerCurrent Liabilities 23 Question: How much is presented as current liability in ABC’s 20x1 year-end financial statements? Answer: P1,000,000. The loan is payable on demand. Only if an enforceable promise is received from the bank on or before the end of the reporting period not to demand payment for at least 12 months from the end of reporting period that the loan is classified as noncurrent. Case 2: Grace period received after year-end On January 5, 20x2, the bank agreed not to collect the loan in 20x2 and gave ABC 12 months to rectify the breach of loan covenant. Question: How much is presented as current liability in ABC’s 20x1 year-end financial statements? ' Answer: P1,000,000. The loan is presented as current because the grace period was received after the end of reporting period. Case 3: Grace period received by year-end On December 31, 20x1, the bank agreed not to collect the loan in 20x2 and gave ABC 12 months to rectify the breach of loan covenant. Question: How much is presented as current liability in ABC's 20x1 year-end financial statements?

A liability exists only if the party to whom the obligation is owed is specifically identified. Legal obligations arise only from law. A long-term debt that is maturing within 12 months from the end of the reporting period is a current liability. Financial liabilities other than FVPL liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Amortized cost financial liabilities are subsequently measured at the present value of the cash outflows from the instrument. Financial liabilities may be subsequently reclassified between the amortized cost and fair value measurement categories. Trade payables and other liabilities that are part of an entity's working capital may be presented as current liabilities even if they are expected to be settled beyond one year. According to PAS 1, a currently maturing debt that the entity’s management intends to refinance is presented as noncurrent. According to PFRS 15, if an entity expects that a portion of gift certificates sold will not be redeemed, the entity recognizes the expected breakage amount as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by customers.
