CR – May 2019 – L3 – Q3 – Financial Instruments (IFRS 9, IAS 32, IAS 39)

Discuss the classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 and evaluate the appropriate accounting treatment of a loan granted to a special purpose entity.

Ariba Bank Plc. (the Bank) is a Tier 1 Bank in Nigeria with branch network across all the six geo-political zones of the country. Its credit portfolio is spread among many industries with a special focus on the oil and gas industry and real estate.

One of its major customers with a very good credit standing is Dunga Property Development Company (DPDC).

The management of DPDC recently approved a plan to build four shopping malls in major cities across the country. A special purpose entity was registered as a limited liability company, Dunga Malls Limited (DML), dedicated to the development and management of the malls. The project will be solely financed by a loan to be obtained from Ariba Bank. There will be no equity contribution from DPDC other than the minimum required by law to establish a company.

Ariba Bank has approved a loan of N80 billion at a fixed interest rate of 15% per annum payable annually in arrears. The loan has a maturity of 10 years with a moratorium of 3 years. There was no transaction cost and therefore the contractual rate is the same as the effective rate. The loan was granted directly to DML on 1 January, 2018.

The Financial Controller of Ariba Bank Plc. is concerned about the accounting treatment of the loan as IFRS 9 Financial Instrument was adopted by the bank during the year. He noted that the majority of the bank loans are classified at amortized cost in the statement of financial position, but the loans must pass certain tests before such classification.

The Chief Risk Officer noted in his memo that the arrangement is substantially the same as the other borrowing arrangements of the bank except that a borrowing entity would normally have equity or other assets that could be called upon by the bank in a case of default other than the asset being financed.

Required:
a. Discuss how financial assets are classified in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9. (8 Marks)
b. Advise the Bank on how the loan granted to DML should be classified in the statement of financial position. (6 Marks)
c. Discuss, with supporting calculations, how the loan will be accounted for in the financial statement of the bank for the year ended 31 December, 2018. (6 Marks)

CR – Nov 2020 – L3 – Q5 – Leases (IFRS 16)

Discuss lease classification, loan liability derecognition under IFRS 9, and tax offsetting rules under IAS 12.

Muzana Limited owns tractors used for farming purposes and sometimes enters into lease arrangements with other agricultural companies. A particular tractor when leased out by Muzana is for 8 years. The useful economic life of each tractor is estimated at 10 years while the fair value of each tractor is estimated at N26 million. The present value of minimum lease payments in the lease arrangement is N28 million.

At year end September 30, 2019, Muzana had been able to set aside N100 million in a special trust to be used for no other purpose than to pay off the loan in full on its due date in 2020.

Muzana Limited have just concluded a meeting with its tax consultant. The amounts due to the state tax authorities in the current year is N2.3 million. Muzana also has a tax credit of N1.8 million due from the Federal government in the current year. The tax consultant has advised Muzana that these amounts can be offset in their year-end financial statements to show only a tax liability of N500,000.

Required: a. Explain how the lease arrangement should be classified in Muzana‘s 2018 year-end financial statements? (7 Marks) b. Advise the management of Muzana, based on IFRS 9 derecognition rules, if the loan liability can be recognised in their year-end September 30, 2019 financial statements. (7 Marks) c. Explain if the advise provided by the tax consultant is consistent with the offsetting rules under IAS 12 Income Taxes? (6 Marks)
