BONDS PAYABLE: Fair Value Option

A. Discussion of Accounting Principles

1. Definition of Bond
 A bond is a formal unconditional promise, made under seal, to pay a specified sum of money at
a determinable future date, and to make periodic interest payment at a stated rate until the
principal sum is paid.

 A bond is a contract of debt whereby one party called the issuer borrows funds from another
party called the investor.

 A bond is evidenced by a certificate and the contractual agreement between the issuer and
investor is contained in a document known as “bond indenture”.

2. Term and Serial Bonds


 Term bonds are bonds with a single date of maturity. May require the issuing entity to establish
a sinking fund to provide adequate money to retire the bond issue at one time.

 Serial bonds are bonds with a series of maturity dates instead of a single one. These bonds allow
the issuing entity to retire the bonds by installments.

3. Secured and unsecured bonds


 Mortgage bonds are bonds secured by a mortgage on real properties.

 Collateral trust bonds are bonds secured by shares and bonds of other corporations.

 Debenture bonds are unsecured or bonds without collateral security.

4. Registered and bearer bonds


 Registered bonds require the registration of the name of the bondholders on the books of the
corporation.

 If the bondholder sells a bond, the old bond certificate is surrendered to the entity and a new bond
certificate is issued to the buyer. Interest is periodically paid by the issuing entity to bondholders
of record.

 Coupon or bearer bonds are unregistered bonds in the sense that the name of the bondholder is
not recorded on the entity books.

 The issuing entity does not maintain a record of two owns the bonds at any point in time.

 Thus, interest on coupon bonds is paid to the person submitting a detachable interest coupon.

5. Other types of bonds


 Convertible bonds are bonds that can be exchanged for shares of the issuing entity.

 Callable bonds are bonds which may be called in for redemption prior to the maturity date.

 Guaranteed bonds are bonds issued whereby another party promises to make payment if the
borrower fails to do so.

 Junks bonds are hig-risk, high-yield bond issued by entities that are heavily indebted or
otherwise in weak financial condition.
 Zero-coupon bonds are bonds that pay no interest but the bonds offer a return in the form of a
“deep discount” or huge discount from the face amount.

6. Features of bond issue


a. A bond identure or deed of trust of the document which shows in detail the terms of the loan and
the rights and duties of the borrower and other parties to the contract.

b. Bond certificates are used. Each bond certificate represents a portion of the total loan. The usual
minimum denomination in business practice is P1,000, although smaller denominations may be
issued occasionally.

c. If property is pledged as security for the loan, a trustee is named to hold title to the property
serving as security. The trustee acts as the representative of the bondholders and is usually a bank
ir trust entity.

d. A bank or trust entity is usually appointed as registrar or disbursing agent. The borrower deposits
interest and principal payments with the disbursing agent, who then distributes the funds to the
bondholders.

7. Content of bonds indenture


The bond indenture is the contract between the bondholders and the borrower or issuing entity.
Normally, the bond indenture contains the following items:

a. Characteristics of the bonds


b. Maturity date and provision for repayment
c. Period of grace allowed to issuing entity
d. Establishment of a sinking fund and the periodic deposit therein.
e. Deposit to cover interest payments
f. Provisions affecting mortgaged property, such as taxes, insurance coverage, collection of
interest or dividends on collaterals
g. Access to corporate books and records of trustee
h. Certificate of bonds by trustee
i. Required debt to equity ratio
j. Minimum working capital to be maintained, if any.

8. Sale of bonds
 The bonds needed for the issuance of bonds are usually too large for one buyer to pay. Very
often, the bonds are divided into various denominations of say P100, P1,000, P10,000, thus
enabling more than one buyer or investor to purchase the bonds.

 Instead of selling bonds of various denominations, the bonds are sold in equal denominations of
say P1,000 only. The P1,000 denomination is called the face amount of the bonds. Each bond is
evidenced by a certificate called a bond certificate.

 For example, if the bonds with face amount of 50,000,000 are sold, dividend into p1,000
denomination, there shall be 50,000 bond certificates containing a face amount of P1,000.

 The sale of the bonds may be undertaken by the entity itself. Normally however, the issuing entity
does not attempt to sell the bonds directly to the public.

 Instead, the entire bond issue is sold to an underwritter or investment bank that assumes
responsibility for reselling the bonds to investors.

 Sometimes, the underwriter merely undertakes to sell the bonds on the basis of a commission to
be deducted from the proceeds of sale.

 When an entity sells a bond issue, it undertakes to pay the face amount of the bond issue on
maturity date and the periodic interest.
 Interest is usually payable semiannually or every six months as follows:
a. January 1 and July 1
b. February 1 and August 1
c. March 1 and September 1
d. April 1 and October 1
e. May 1 and November 1
f. June 1 and December 1

 There are certain bonds that pay interest annually or at the end of every bond year.

9. Initial measurement of bonds payable


 PFRS 9, paragraph 5.1.1, provides that the bonds payable not designated at fair value through
profit or loss shall be measured initially at fair value minus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the issue of the bonds payable.

 The fair value of the bonds payable is equal to the present value of the future cash payments to
settle the bond liability.

 Bond issue costs shall be deducted from the fair value or issue price of the bonds payable in
measuring initially the bonds payable.

 If the bonds are designated and accounted for “at fair value through profit or loss”, the bond issue
costs are treated as expense immediately.

 The fair value of the bonds payable is the same as the issue price or net proceeds from the issue
of the bonds, excluding accrued interest.

10. Subsequent measurement of bonds payable


 PFRS 9, paragraph 5.3.1, provides that after iitial recognition, bonds payable shall be measured
either:
a. At amortized cost, using the effective interest method
b. At fair value through profit or loss

11. Amortized cost of bonds payable


 The amortized cost of bonds payable is the amount at which the bond liability is measured
initially minus principal repayment, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective
interest method of any difference between the face amount and present value of the bonds
payable.

 The difference between the face amount ad present value is either discount or premium on the
issue of the bonds payable.

12. Accounting for issuance of bonds


 Two approaches in accounting for the authorization and issuance of bonds:
a. Memorandum approach
b. Journal entry approach

 Illustrative problems are provided in Activity 2.

13. Bond issue costs


 Bond issue costs directly attributable to the issue of bonds payable.

 Such costs include printing and engraving cost, legal and accounting fee, registration fee with
regulatory authorities, commission paid to agents and underwriters and other similar charges.
 Under PFRS 9, bond issue costs shall be deducted from the fair value of issue price of bonds
payable in measuring initially the bonds payable.

 Under the effective interest method of amortization, the bond issue cost must be “lumped” with
the discount on bonds payable and “netted” against the premium on bonds payable.
 If the bonds are measured at fair value through profit or loss, the bond issue cost are expensed
immediately.

14. Recording interest on bonds


 Accounting for interest expense on bonds requires recognition of two items:
a. Payment of interest during the year
b. Accrual of interest at the end of the year

15. Bond retirement on maturity date


 To make a bond issue more attractive, an entity may agree, in the bond indenture to establish a
sinking fund exclusively for us in retiring the bonds at maturity.

 The periodic cash deposits plus the interest earned on sinking fund securities should cause the
fund to approximately equal the amount of the bond issue on maturity date.

 When the bonds approach maturity date, the trustee sells the securities and uses the sinking fund
cash to pay the bondholders. Any excess cash is returned to the issuing entity.

16. Bond retirement prior to maturity date


 When bonds are reacquired prior to maturitydate, they may be canceled and permanently retired,
or held in the treasury for future reissue when the need for fund arises.

 The retirement of bonds prior to maturity date may present some complex accounting problems.
1. The bond premium or bond discount should be amortized up to the date of retirement.
2. The balance of the bonds premium or bond discount should be determined. This balance is
important because the amount related to the bonds retired is canceled.
3. The accrued interest to date of retirement should be determined.
4. The total cash payment should be computed. This is equal to the retirement price plus the
accrued interest. The retirement price is a certain percent of the face amount of the bonds.
5. The carrying amount of the bonds retired is determined the face amount of the bonds plus
the unamortized premium or minus the unamortized discount gives the carrying amount of
the bonds.
6. The gain or loss on the retirement of bonds is computed.

This is the difference between the retirement price and the carrying amount of the bonds.
If the retirement price is more than the carrying amount of the bonds, there is loss.

If the retirement price is less than the carryig amount of the bonds, there is gain.

7. The retirement of the bonds is then recorded by canceling the bond liability together with the
unamortized premium or discount. Any accrued interest is debited to interest expense.

17. Treasury bonds


 Treasury bonds are an entity’s own bonds originally issued and reacquired but not canceled. The
acquisition of treasury bonds calls for the same accounting procedures accorded to a formal
retirement of bonds prior to the maturity date.

 Treasury bonds should be debited at face amount and any related unamortized premium or
discount should be canceled. Any accrued interest paid is charged to interest expense.

 The difference between the acquisition cost and the carrying amount of the treasury bonds is
treated a gain or loss on the acquisition of treasury bonds.

18. Bond refunding


 Bond refunding is the floating of new bonds the proceeds from which are used is paying the
original bonds.

 Bond refunding is a premature retirement of the old bonds by means of issuing new bonds. Bond
refunding is also known as bond refinancing.
 Refunding may be made on or before the date of maturity of the old bonds.

 Where refunding is made on the date of maturity of the old bonds, no accounting problem arises
as this would simply call for the cancelation of the bond liability. There is no unamortized
premium or discount involved.

 The retirement is handled in the usual manner and the new bond issue is recorded in the normal
way.

 Where refunding is made prior to the maturity date of the old bonds, consideration must be given
to the refunding charges pertaining to the old bonds.

 The refunding charges include the unamortized bond discount or premium and redemption
premium on the old bonds being refunded.

 The accounting problem is the treatment of these refunding charges.

 Bond refunding shall be accounted for as an extinguishment of a financial liability.

 The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the
consideration paid shall be included in profit or loss.

 Accordingly, the refunding charges are charged to loss on extinguishment.

19. Amortization of bond discount or premium


 Three approaches in amortizing bond premium or bond discount:
a. Straight line
b. Bond outstanding method
c. Effective interest method or simply “interest method” or scientific method

 PFRS 9 requires the use of the effective interest method in amortizing discounts, premiums and
bond issue cost.

20. Straight line method


 The straight line method provides for an equal amortization of bond premium or bond discount.

 The procedures is simply to divide the amount of bond premium or bond discount by the life of
the bonds to arrive at the periodic amortization.

 The life of the bonds is that period commencing on the date of sale of the bonds up to the maturity
date.

21. Bond outstanding method


 The bond outstanding method is applicable to serial bonds whether issued at discount or
premium.

 Serial bonds are those with a series of maturity dates.

 For example, bonds with face amount of P5,000,000 are issued and mature at the rate of
P1,000,000 every year for 5 years.

 As the name implies, the bond outstanding amortization approach gives recognition to the
deminishing balance of the bonds.

 It is based on the theory that interest expense shall decrease every year by reason of the decreasing
principal bond liability.
22. Premature retirement of serial bonds
 When serial bonds are paid on the regular maturity dates, no accounting problem arises because
no unamortized discount or premium is related to such serial bonds retired.

 The problem occurs when the serial bonds are retired prior to their scheduled maturity dates.

 In this case, the retirement calls for the cancelation of any unamortized discount or premium
related to the serial bonds retired.

 The question is how much unamortized premium or discount is applicable to the serial bonds
retired prior to their maturity date?

23. Accounting procedures


1. Get the ratio of the total premium or discount to the common denominator of the fractions
developed, total of bond outstanding column. This ratio represents the amortization rate per
year.

300,000/15,000,000 = .02 rate per year

2. Multiply the rate computed in (1) by the face amount of the bonds retired. The answer gives the
unamortized premium or discount per year related to the bonds retired.

P1,000,000 x .02 = P20,000 unamortized primium per year

3. Multiply the unamortized premium or discount per year computed in (2) by the period from the
date or retirement to the scheduled maturity date of the retired bonds.

P20,000 x 2 years = P40,000 unamortized premium related to the


P1,000,000 face value bond retired

24. Fair value option of measuring bonds payable


 PFRS 9, paragraph 4.2.2, provides that at initial recognition, bonds payable may be irrevocably
designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

 Under the fair value option, the bonds payable shall be measured initially at fair value and
remeasured at every year-end with any changes in fair value generally recognized in profit or
loss.

 There is no more amortization of bond discount and bond discount and bond premium. Any
transaction cost or bond issue cost should be expensed immediately.

 As a matter of fact, interest expense is recognized using the nominal or stated rate.

25. Changes in fair value recognized in OCI


 PFRS, paragraph 5.7.7, provides that the gain or loss on financial liability designated at fair value
through profit or loss shall be accounted for as follows:

a. The change in fair value attributable to the credit risk of the liability is recognized in other
comprehensive income.

Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of the liability would cause a financial loss to the other
party by failing to discharge the obligation.

Credit risk does not include market risk such as interest risk, currency risk and price risk.

b. The remaining amout if the change in fair value is recognized in profit or loss.
 Paragraph 5.7.8 provides, however, that if presenting the change in fair value attributable to credit
risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, all gains and losses including the effects
to changes in credit risk are recognized in profit or loss.

 An accounting mismatch would be created or enlarged if presenting the efffects of changes in the
credit risk in other comprehensive income would result in a material or greater differences in
profit or loss than if those amounts were presented in profit or loss.

 Application Guidance B5.7.9 provides that amounts recognized in other comprehensive income
resulting from changes in fair value of credit risk of a financial liability designated at fair value
through profit or loss shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss.

 The cumulative gain or loss recognized may be transferred withing equity or retained earnings.
