Presentation of Financial Instruments The issuer of a financial instrument should classify it or its component parts, on initial recognition as a financial liability, a financial asset or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and definitions of these instruments. 10
Critical Features - Differentiating between Financial Liabilities and Equity Contractual payment obligations e.g. Interest payments, repayment of debt Contractual components of a financial instrument that creates a financial liability of the entity e.g. convertible bonds 11
Compound Financial Instruments Financial instruments that contain both a liability and an equity component. Such components shall be classified separately as financial liabilities, financial assets or equity instruments. Amounts allocated to these debt and equity two components are based on their relative fair values at issuance. 12
Conversion of a Convertible Instrument at Maturity The entity derecognizes the liability component and recognizes it as equity. The original equity component remains as equity. There is no gain or loss on conversion on maturity. 13
Interest, Dividends, Losses and Gains If relating to a financial liability If relating to an equity instrument Recognized in income or expense in profit or loss net of any related income tax benefit. Debited directly to equity net of any related income tax benefit. 14
Derivative A financial instrument with all three of the following characteristics: Its value changes in response to the change in a specified rate or price (underlying instrument) It requires no initial investment or an initial net investment. It is settled at a future date. 15
Share Options Call Option Put Option Right to buy shares at a specified price (exercise/strike price) within a specified period (The option period). Right to sell shares at a specified price (exercise/strike price) within a specified period (The option period). 16
Embedded Derivative A component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative. It is a derivative embedded in a host contract. (e.g. put option in a debt instrument, interest rate swap embedded in a debt instrument ) 17
