FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />
default by Entity C (the debtor) for a 30 year loan of 50 million Currency Units<br />
(CUs) repayable in two equal instalments of 25 million CUs in 201X <strong>and</strong> 204Z.<br />
Entity C provides nominal consideration of 30,000 CUs to Government A. Prior<br />
to entering into negotiation with Government A, Entity C had approached a<br />
number of other entities to issue a guarantee, but none of these entities was<br />
prepared to issue such a guarantee. There are no recent examples of financial<br />
guarantee contracts in the motor manufacturing sector of the economy in<br />
Jurisdiction A or in neighbouring Jurisdictions D & E. Government A<br />
concludes that it cannot use a valuation technique as the use of a valuation<br />
technique does not provide a reliable measure of fair value. Government A<br />
therefore determines to measure the financial guarantee contract in accordance<br />
with IPSAS 19.<br />
IE44. On December, 31 201V, having reviewed the financial position <strong>and</strong><br />
performance of Entity C, Government A determines that there is no present<br />
obligation to Entity B in respect of the financial guarantee contract. Government<br />
A does not recognize a liability in its statement of financial position.<br />
Government A makes the disclosures relating to fair value <strong>and</strong> credit risk in<br />
IPSAS 30, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” in respect of the financial<br />
guarantee contract. It also discloses a contingent liability of 50 million CUs in<br />
accordance with IPSAS 19. In its statement of financial performance<br />
Government A recognizes revenue of 1,000 CUs in respect of the nominal<br />
consideration payable by Entity C.<br />
IE45. In 201Z there has been a further downturn in the motor manufacturing sector<br />
affecting Entity C. Entity C is seeking bankruptcy protection <strong>and</strong> has defaulted<br />
on the first repayment of principal, although it has met its obligations for<br />
interest payments. Government A determines that Entity C is unlikely to<br />
recover, but negotiations are advanced with a potential acquirer (Entity D),<br />
which will restructure Entity C. Entity D has indicated that it will assume<br />
responsibility for the final instalment of the loan with Entity B, but not the<br />
initial instalment. Government A recognizes an expense <strong>and</strong> liability for 25<br />
million CUs <strong>and</strong> discloses a contingent liability of 25 million CUs.<br />
Interaction Between Measurement Requirements of IPSAS 23 <strong>and</strong> IPSAS 29<br />
Background<br />
IE46. An individual donates shares in listed entity X to public sector entity A on<br />
January 1, 20X8. At that date, the shares in entity X have a fair value of<br />
CU1,000,000. At December 31, 20X8, the fair value of the shares is<br />
CU900,000. As part of the arrangement, entity A incurs the transfer duty to<br />
have the shares transferred into its name. These costs amount to CU10,000.<br />
IE47. Listed entity X provides telecommunications infrastructure <strong>and</strong> related services<br />
to the public. During 20X9, new technology was introduced into the<br />
telecommunications industry, making the infrastructure <strong>and</strong> equipment used by<br />
