Executive summary

► Under IFRS, the accounting standards in the area have evolved in a cohesive fashion and are contained in four pronouncements (IAS 1, IAS 23, IAS 32 and IAS 39) with a fifth pronouncement, IFRS 9 , Financial Instruments to take effect in January 2018. Under US GAAP, the accounting standards in this area have evolved with many different pronouncements, but are now codified in the Accounting Standards Codification.

► IFRS requires that transaction (issuance) costs directly reduce the carrying value of the debt. When ASU 2015-03 becomes effective, US GAAP will also require that transaction (issuance) costs directly reduce the carrying value of the debt.

► IFRS requires third-party costs to be recognized as part of the gain or loss in a debt extinguishment. US GAAP permits the capitalization and amortization of these costs over the term of the new debt.

► For debt modifications, IFRS permits the entity to adjust the carrying amount of the liability and amortize costs over the term of the modified debt. US GAAP requires that these costs be expensed as incurred.

Executive summary

► IFRS allows upward revisions to the carrying value of an investment in a loan after a write-down. US GAAP does not permit upward revisions.

► In the event of a debt covenant violation, IFRS allows long-term debt to continue to be classified as long term as long as a waiver is received by year-end. US GAAP allows a waiver to be received until the time the financial statements are released, to retain the long-term classification.

Progress on convergence

► The accounting for financial instruments has been an ongoing convergence project for a number of years.

► The FASB is still deliberating certain portions of the financial instruments project with a final standard expected in the second quarter of 2015.

► In July 2014, the IASB issued a final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which addresses classification and measurement, impairment methodology and hedge accounting.► The statement applies to annual periods beginning on or after

January 1, 2018, although earlier application is permitted.► Retrospective application is required.

Note: Reference should be made to the appendix for a synopsis of IFRS 9 as it pertains to this topic. Upon issuance of the FASB standard, this module will be updated and IFRS 9 will be compared with the new FASB standard.

Fair-value option

Upon initial recognition of a debt instrument, an accounting policy choice is allowed to measure the debt instrument at fair value with gains/losses recognized in income. This is referred to as the fair-value option (FVO).*

IFRSUS GAAP

*Note that certain criteria must be met before the FVOis used and these differ between US GAAP and IFRS. As noted in the appendix, the application of the FVO under IFRS 9 is consistent with the application of the FVO stated here under IAS 39.

► Per IAS 39, transaction costs directly reduce the carrying value of the debt.

US GAAP► When ASU 2015-03 becomes effective,

transaction (issuance) costs directly reduce the carrying value of the debt. For public companies, ASU 2015 -03 is

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015.

For all other entities this is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.

Early adoption is permitted.

Issuance costs example

Example 1

On December 31, 2016, an airplane manufacturer, Airways, issued $1 million in bonds at 5% annual interest, due December 31, 2019, at par. Airways incurred bank fees of $100,000, legal fees of $50,000 and salaries of $25,000 for its employees in conjunction with issuing the bonds.

► Describe how Airways should record the issuance/transaction costs using US GAAP and IFRS?

► Show the related journal entries.

Page 14: Long-term liabilities. Academic Resource Center Long-term liabilities Page 2 Typical coverage of US GAAP ► Bonds payable: ► Types of bonds ► Valuation

Academic Resource Center

Long-term liabilities Page 14

Solution:

Using both US GAAP and IFRS, Airways can capitalize the $100,000 of bank fees and $50,000 of legal fees. Salaries must be expensed as they are internal costs and are not direct and incremental. With the issuance of ASU 2015-03, the transaction costs directly reduce the carrying value for both US GAAP and IFRS.

Cash $825,000Salary expense 25,000

Bonds payable $850,000

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs primarily include interest on borrowings and other costs to acquire debt.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset can be capitalized.

Similar

The qualifying asset must take a period of time to complete.

IFRSUS GAAP

Similar, although the period of time to complete should be “substantial.”

Long-term liabilities Page 16

Borrowing costs

Interest capitalization commences and continues as long as expenditures and progress are made to get the asset ready for its intended use.

Capitalizable interest is based on the specific borrowing, if available, or the weighted-average costs of the borrowings and cannot exceed actual interest for the period.

Borrowing costs

IFRS

► Per IAS 23, entities may choose to capitalize or expense borrowing costs when the related assets are carried at fair value.

► When funds borrowed to finance the acquisition of a qualified asset are temporarily invested, the interest cost should be reduced by any investment income earned on these funds.

US GAAP

► This issue is not discussed.

► Interest revenue cannot be netted against interest cost.

Borrowing costs

IFRS

► Exchange rate differences related to foreign currency borrowings, to the extent they are an adjustment to interest costs, can be capitalized according to IAS 23.

US GAAP

► Exchange rate differences on borrowing costs cannot be included in capitalizable interest costs.

Borrowing costs example

Example 2

A large UK-based retail company, Harold’s Department Stores, Inc. (HDS), wishes to build a US distribution center on the East Coast. HDS has purchased a suitable piece of land, has arranged for a general contractor to construct the facility and has arranged for a construction loan from a US bank.

The facility is expected to cost $30 million and take one year to build. The construction loan is $24 million, bears interest at 8% and borrowings commence at the first draw.

Ground is broken on April 1, 2015, and construction is expected to continue until March 31, 2016. The Company uses $6 million of its cash in the first two months of construction and begins borrowing under the construction loan based on the schedule on the next slide.

The US bank pays the draws on the loan to HDS in dollars. HDS carries its assets in pounds and the debt borrowings will be paid in pounds. HDS incurs exchange rate gains and losses as scheduled on the next slide.

January 1, 2016 $ 8,000,000 $(20,000) $75,000

April 1, 2016 $25,000

What borrowing costs should HDS capitalize in 2015 and in the first quarter of 2016 using US GAAP and IFRS?

Example 2 solution:

Calculation of interest costs:

2015

► First draw: $10,000,000 x 8% x 3/12 = $200,000► Second draw: $16,000,000 x 8% x 3/12 = 320,000

$520,000

2016

► Third draw: $24,000,000 x 8% x 3/12 = $480,000

US GAAP:

HDS should capitalize $520,000 of borrowing costs in 2015 and $480,000 in the first quarter of 2016.

IFRS:

HDS should capitalize $485,000 ($520,000 + $90,000 exchange rate losses - $125,000 of interest income) of borrowing costs in 2015 and $475,000 ($480,000 + $20,000 exchange rate losses - $25,000 of interest income) of borrowing costs in the first quarter of 2016.

Debt modification and extinguishment Extinguishment

If a modification of debt terms is considered to be substantial or debt is discharged, the debt is considered to be extinguished and the liability should be derecognized.

The difference between the reacquisition price and consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred, and the carrying amount of the extinguished debt should be recognized in income.

Debt modification and extinguishmentExtinguishment

IFRS

► IFRS does not specifically address troubled debt restructuring, but according to IAS 39, paragraph 40, the treatment for a substantial modification is the same as an extinguishment “whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor.”

US GAAP

► US GAAP distinguishes treatment for a significant debt modification when the debtor is viable as compared to non-viable. When the company is non-viable, it may be accounted for as a troubled-debt restructuring as discussed below.

US GAAP

► Costs incurred to extinguish debt in exchange for significantly modified debt or new debt are associated with the new debt and amortized over the remaining term of the modified debt or the term of the new debt, respectively, using the effective-interest method. If no new debt is issued, these costs are expensed as incurred.

Debt extinguishment example

Example 3

The Tempe Company (Tempe) is a viable entity. On January 1, 2016, Tempe intends to extinguish some long-term notes by calling the long-term notes under the provisions of the note agreement. These notes are for $10 million at 10% annual interest due December 31, 2017. Tempe also has $50,000 in unamortized discount on notes payable, but no other deferred costs attributable to the borrowing or accrued interest. Management issues new debt with a new lender for the same amount and maturity date at 9% annual interest. Management has incurred $100,000 in legal costs to negotiate the extinguishment of the long-term notes payable.

► Prepare the journal entries to record the extinguishment of the debt using US GAAP and IFRS.

► Prepare the journal entries to record the interest expense for 2016 using US GAAP and IFRS (round to the nearest thousand).

Example 5

Part I:

On January 1, 2013, the Desert Bank of Arizona (DBA) extended a three-year loan of $16 million to Royal Resorts Incorporated (RRI), a golf resort in southern Arizona, at a 4% interest rate. Interest is due quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, with the final balance of the loan ($16 million), plus interest, due on December 31, 2015. The note is secured by a golf resort in southern Arizona with a fair value of $18 million as of January 1, 2013.

Interest was paid in 2013 and through March 31, 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, RRI informed DBA that it had significant cash flow problems and would not be able to make the remaining contractual interest payments in 2014, and possibly 2015 or the principal due on December 31, 2015.

Debt impairment example

At June 30, 2014, DBA determined that its loan was impaired because the loan balance outstanding of $16 million, plus accrued interest of $160,000 ($16,000,000 x 4% x 3/12), was not collectible at the current time and the balance of the loan exceeded the fair value of the loan, which was deemed to be $14 million based on the underlying value of the secured collateral.

► Using US GAAP and IFRS, how should DBA and RRI reflect the asset and liability, respectively, in their accounting records at June 30, 2014?

► What are the corresponding journal entries?

Academic Resource Center

Long-term liabilities Page 41

Example 5 Part I – solution:DBA

DBA should determine what is the best determination of fair value. In the above situation, fair value is deemed to be the collateral value of the golf resort. DBA should write down the asset for both US GAAP and IFRS, but use a valuation allowance for IFRS to allow for any possible future increase in value (so as not to exceed the carrying amount at June 30, 2014).

US GAAP:

Loss on loan to RRI $2,000,000Interest income 160,000

Loan receivable from RRI $2,000,000Interest receivable 160,000

To write down the loan receivable from RRI to fair value and to reverse the accrued interest through June 30, 2014.

IFRS:

Loss on loan to RRI $2,000,000Interest income 160,000

Allowance for loan receivable from RRI $2,000,000Interest receivable 160,000

To write down the loan receivable from RRI to fair value and to establish a corresponding allowance and to reverse the accrued interest through June 30, 2014.

RRI

US GAAP and IFRS:

At June 30, 2014, RRI would not change the accounting for the loan, but would recognize the quarterly interest payable of $160,000 and maintain the loan balance outstanding of $16 million because RRI has not discharged its legal obligation on the note to DBA.

Interest expense $160,000Interest payable $160,000

Troubled debt restructuring

A debtor may be relieved for part or all of its obligations due to financial hardships from the transfer of assets or equity securities to the creditor or through the modification of debt terms (reducing the interest rate or accrued interest, extending the maturity date or reducing the principal obligation).

Troubled debt restructuring

IFRS

► As discussed previously, IFRS does not specifically address troubled debt restructuring and, thus, follows the treatment noted for debt extinguishments.

US GAAP

► Relief of obligations due to financial hardship is referred to as a troubled debt restructuring.

► SFAS No. 15 (ASC 470-60) requires the following treatment for each type of debt restructuring:

► Transfer of assets – a gain or loss is recognized to the extent the fair value of assets transferred exceeds the amount payable, including accrued interest, respectively.

IFRSUS GAAP

► Debt restructuring treatment (continued):

► Transfer of equity securities – the difference between the fair value of the equity and the carrying amount of debt is recognized as a gain or loss.

► Modification of terms (whether substantial or non-substantial) – no gain or loss is recorded and a new effective-interest rate is computed. Creditors would follow the guidance using SFAS No. 114 (ASC 310-10-35).

Example 6

Mike’s Industrial Company (MIC) has an unused factory in one of the Midwest states that has a book value and fair value of $8.0 million. MIC obtained a mortgage on the factory five years ago from a New York-based bank and the current balance due to the bank totals $10 million. Interest is being paid currently by MIC; however, MIC currently does not have use for the factory or the revenues to support the debt. After a lengthy negotiation process, MIC will be transferring the underlying property to the bank, along with a payment of $1.5 million. This will discharge MIC from the debt. This is considered a troubled debt restructuring for US GAAP purposes.

Troubled debt restructuring example

► Using US GAAP and IFRS, what journal entries would MIC and the bank prepare to record this transaction?

Long-term liabilities Page 49

Troubled debt restructuring example

The journal entry would be as follows:

Mortgage notes payable $10,000,000Facility $8,000,000Cash 1,500,000Gain on discharge of debt 500,000

To record the settlement of the mortgage note payable to the New York bank and the accompanying transfer of the property.

Example 6 solution:

This transaction would be accounted for in the same manner using US GAAP or IFRS.

MIC

Under this scenario, MIC would have a gain on the restructuring, calculated as follows:

Mortgage note payable $10,000,000Less: carrying value of the building (8,000,000)Less: cash to the bank (1,500,000)Gain on discharge of debt $ 500,000

Example 6 solution (continued):

Bank

The bank would record a loss on the restructuring calculated as follows:

Mortgage receivable $10,000,000Less: fair value of the building (8,000,000Less: cash received (1,500,000)Loss on restructuring $ 500,000

Troubled debt restructuring example

The journal entry to record the restructuring and loss would be as follows:

Facility $8,000,000Cash 1,500,000Loan loss 500,000

Mortgage loans receivable $10,000,000

To record the payment and settlement of the mortgage loan from MIC and the transfer of the property.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

► Under IFRS 9, financial liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability.

► Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for:► Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including derivatives that are

liabilities.► Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for

derecognition.► Financial guarantee contracts.► Commitments to provide a loan at below-market interest rates.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

► FVO: Financial liabilities may also be measured at fair value through profit or loss, if, at initial recognition, the financial liability is irrevocably designated to be measured at fair value because of either of the following scenarios:► The accounting eliminates or reduces an accounting mismatch.► A group of liabilities is managed on a fair value basis for risk management or investment

strategy purposes.

► For FVO liabilities, the change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss. However, if the change in the credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, the change is reported in profit or loss.
