Re: Storage costs

IAS 2.38 implies that cost of sales usually means the amount expensed this year that was previously recognized as part of inventories. So, although IFRS doesn't preclude to include the storage costs in cost of sales, if you elect to do so, you will need to disclose separately the amount of inventori...

Re: IFRS 15 and IAS 28, Revenue to the associate

Do you mean A is acquiring some of the completed apartments from B? In other words, is A trying to recognize revenue when it sells the building to B and recognize revenue again when A sells the repurchased apartments to final consumers?

Re: FX embedded derivatives in executory contracts

If you separate the embedded derivative, I would expect the seller to record a liability when the equipment is delivered at the initial fair value of the written option. The amount of revenue is adjusted accordingly, but it won't be equal to the forward FX-based price. The subsequent change in fair ...

Re: €(123) million or (€123) million?

I went through more annual reports and 10-Ks and found out that the overwhelming majority preferred €(123) and (1.23)% over (€123) and (1.23%), and a few companies mixed two styles, which might be caused by mistake. So I conclude it's safer to put only numbers in parentheses in a professional accoun...

€(123) million or (€123) million?

It might be a silly English question, but when denoting a negative amount with a currency symbol, which notation do you use: €(123) million or (€123) million? In annual reports, companies generally seem to prefer €(123) million, but some companies use (€123) million. It doesn't seem to depend on the...

Technically yes, but it was rather like putting a boilerplate statement of compliance with IFRS.

Re: Investment in Subsidiary recoverable amount

IFRS doesn't provide a specific guidance for a non-going concern FS, so you have to develop and justify your own basis, as Marek pointed out.

Re: Asset encumbrance - netting

It's not clear for me what you are trying to offset.... Bond lending is an off balance sheet transaction so you have no liability recognized that can be set off against the bond. You cannot derecognize the bond itself either because the derecognition requirements under IFRS 9 aren't satisfied....

Re: Investment in Subsidiary recoverable amount

If the investor prepares a financial statement on a going concern basis, it can just state the investment at cost in accordance with IAS 27 because the recoverable amount exceeds the cost. Otherwise, I have no idea how to prepare a financial statement under IFRS on a basis other than the going conce...

Re: Net investment hedging ineffectiveness

I think it depends. If the designated hedge amount is 1,000 and the reduced net investment is 990, then we can argue it's a continuing over-hedge relationship. But if the reduced net investment is say 10, it should be no longer possible to insist an economic relationship.

Re: Net investment hedging ineffectiveness

Though I have no experience facing such a situation, it's counterintuitive to me to check the fair value change since the beginning of the hedge, rather than that since a portion of the hedge became ineffective. I think the fair value changes that had been effective should stay in Accumulated OCI un...

Re: Parental guarantee on outstanding debt

There should be a more rigid legal arrangement if non-controlling interests were involved and in this case the aspect of financial instrument would be more prominent.

It sounds like the parties adjust the allocation of steel price risk in a reasonable way related to the host steel sale/purchase agreement. If so, the option is closely related to the host.
