 INTRODUCTION TO BONDS

14-3
 Issuing Bonds

 Bond contract known as a bond indenture.

 Represents a promise to pay:
(1) sum of money at designated maturity date, plus
(2) periodic interest at a specified rate on the maturity
amount (face value).
 Paper certificate, typically a $1,000 face value.
 Interest payments usually made semiannually.
 Used when the amount of capital needed is too large for one
lender to supply.

 Valuation of Bonds Payable

Interest Rate
 Stated, coupon, or nominal rate = Rate written in the
terms of the bond indenture.
 Bond issuer sets this rate.
 Stated as a percentage of bond face value (par).

 Market rate or effective yield = Rate that provides an

acceptable return commensurate with the issuer’s risk.
 Rate of interest actually earned by the bondholders.

 Bonds Issued at a Discount

When bonds sell at less than face value:

► Investors demand a rate of interest higher than stated rate.
► Usually occurs because investors can earn a higher rate on
alternative investments of equal risk.
► Cannot change stated rate so investors refuse to pay face
value for the bonds.
► Investors receive interest at the stated rate computed on
the face value, but they actually earn at an effective rate
because they paid less than face value for the bonds.

14-15
 Effective-Interest Method

Bond issued at a discount - amount paid at maturity is more

than the issue amount.

Bonds issued at a premium - company pays less at maturity

relative to the issue price.

Adjustment to the cost is recorded as bond interest expense over

the life of the bonds through a process called amortization.

Required procedure for amortization is the effective-interest

method (also called present value amortization).

14-16
 Effective-Interest Method

Effective-interest method produces a periodic interest expense

equal to a constant percentage of the carrying value of the
bonds.

 EXTINGUISHMENT OF BONDS

14-27
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

Holding the Bonds to Maturity

 The company will have fully amortized any premium or

discount at the date the bonds mature.
 As a result, the carrying amount, the maturity (face) value,
and the fair value of the bond are the same.
 Therefore, no gain or loss exists.

14-28
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

Extinguishment with Cash before Maturity

 Reacquisition price > Net carrying amount => Loss

 Reacquisition price < Net carrying amount => Gain
 At time of reacquisition, unamortized premium or discount
must be amortized up to the reacquisition date.

14-29
 Extinguishment of Debt

Illustration: Evermaster bonds issued at a discount on January 1,

2022. These bonds are due in five years. The bonds have a par value
of $100,000, a coupon rate of 8% paid semiannually, and were sold to
yield 10%.

 Extinguishment of Debt

Two years after the issue date on January 1, 2024, Evermaster calls

14-31
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

Extinguishment by Exchanging Assets or Securities

 Creditor should account for the non-cash assets or equity

interest received at their fair value.

 Debtor recognizes a gain equal to the excess of the

carrying amount of the payable over the fair value of the
assets or equity transferred.

14-32
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities
Illustration: Hamburg Bank loaned €20,000,000 to Bonn Mortgage
Company. Bonn, in turn, invested these monies in residential
apartment buildings. However, because of low occupancy rates, it
cannot meet its loan obligations. Hamburg Bank agrees to accept
from Bonn Mortgage real estate with a fair value of €16,000,000 in full
settlement of the €20,000,000 loan obligation. The real estate has a
carrying value of €21,000,000 on the books of Bonn Mortgage. Bonn
(debtor) records this transaction as follows.

Note Payable to Hamburg Bank 20,000,000

obligation. Bonn Mortgage (debtor) records this transaction as follows.

 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

Extinguishment with Modification of Terms

Creditor may offer one or a combination of the following

modifications:
1. Reduction of the stated interest rate.
2. Extension of the maturity date of the face amount of the
debt.
3. Reduction of the face amount of the debt.
4. Reduction or deferral of any accrued interest.

14-35
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

Illustration: On December 31, 2022, Morgan National Bank enters into

a debt modification agreement with Resorts Development Company,
which is experiencing financial difficulties. The bank restructures a
$10,500,000 loan receivable issued at par (interest paid to date) by:
► Reducing the principal obligation from $10,500,000 to
$9,000,000;
► Extending the maturity date from December 31, 2022, to
December 31, 2026; and
► Reducing the interest rate from the historical effective rate of 12
percent to 8 percent. Given Resorts Development’s financial
distress, its market-based borrowing rate is 15 percent.

14-36
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

IFRS requires the modification to be accounted for as an

extinguishment of the old note and issuance of the new note,
measured at fair value.
Illustration 14-23

14-37
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

The gain on the modification is $3,298,664, which is the difference

between the prior carrying value ($10,500,000) and the fair value of
the restructured note, as computed in Illustration 14-23 ($7,201,336).
Resorts Development makes the following entry to record the
modification.

Note Payable (Old) 10,500,000

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt 3,298,664
Note Payable (New) 7,201,336

14-38
 Extinguishment of Non-Current Liabilities

Resorts Development recognizes interest expense on this note using

the effective rate of 15 percent. Thus, on December 31, 2023 (date of
first interest payment after restructure), Resorts Development makes
the following entry.
Interest Expense 1,080,200
Notes Payable 360,200
Cash 720,000

 CONVERTIBLE DEBT

14-40
 Convertible Debt

Bonds which can be changed into other corporate

securities are called convertible bonds.

+
Privilege of Exchanging it for Shares
(at the holder’s option)

14-41
 Convertible Debt

Two main reasons corporations issue convertibles:

Desire to raise equity capital without giving up more

ownership control than necessary.

Obtain debt financing at cheaper rates.

14-42
 Convertible Debt

Accounting for Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is accounted for as a compound instrument.

Companies use the “with-and-without” method to value
compound instruments.
Illustration 16-1

14-43
 Convertible Debt

Implementation of the with-and-without approach:

1. First, determine total fair value of convertible debt with both liability
and equity component.

2. Second, determine liability component by computing net present

value of all contractual future cash flows discounted at the market
rate of interest.

3. Finally, subtract liability component estimated in second step from

fair value of convertible debt (issue proceeds) to arrive at the
equity component.

14-44
 Convertible Debt

At Time of Issuance

Illustration: Roche Group (DEU) issues 2,000 convertible

bonds at the beginning of 2022. The bonds have a four-year
term with a stated rate of interest of 6 percent, and are issued
at par with a face value of €1,000 per bond (the total proceeds
received from issuance of the bonds are €2,000,000). Interest
is payable annually at December 31. Each bond is convertible
into 250 ordinary shares with a par value of €1. The market rate
of interest on similar non-convertible debt is 9 percent.

 Convertible Debt

Settlement of Convertible Bonds

Repurchase before Maturity. Roche determines the fair value

of the liability component of the convertible bonds at December 31,
2023, and then subtracts the fair value of the convertible bond
issue (including the equity component). Then,
1. The difference between the consideration allocated to the
liability component and the carrying amount of the liability is
recognized as a gain or loss, and

2. The amount of consideration relating to the equity component is

recognized (as a reduction) in equity.

14-52
 Convertible Debt

Settlement of Convertible Bonds

Repurchase before Maturity. Assume:

 Fair value of the convertible debt (including both liability and
equity components), based on market prices at December 31,
2023, is €1,965,000.
 The fair value of the liability component is €1,904,900. This
amount is based on computing the present value of a non-
convertible bond with a two-year term (which corresponds to
the shortened time to maturity of the repurchased bonds.)
