Impact of economic and accounting changes on the sector
Economic - What is the interest rate mix and how long is it fixed for?
Accounting - What debt and interest rates in the sector are subject to changes in fair value?

The social housing regulator
The sectors change in fair value on derivatives has been dramatic..!
LHS shows the MTM liability owed by HAs to banks on interest rate derivatives This is split between the unsecured threshold, property and cash collateral, except prior to September 2011 when the collateral is not separated. RHS shows the 15 years swap rate which is a proxy for the average term of the sector’s interest rate derivatives Slide 4

Setting the scene • The most widespread and fundamental financial reporting change in the
last 20 years• Issued on 14 March 2013 by FRC• Replaces UK GAAP and the suite of existing standards with one all
encompassing standard• ‘Modernises and simplifies financial reporting for unlisted companies and
subsidiaries of listed companies as well as public benefit entities such as charities’ (Roger Marshall, FRC Board member and Chairman of its Accounting Council)
• Broad thrust is to bring UK GAAP closer to full IFRS but in a practical way • Applies to all entities unless:
– eligible to apply FRSSE and choose to do so; or– required to apply EU adopted IFRS or choose to do so; or– certain eligible parents and subsidiaries applying FRS 101 (reduced disclosure
framework for IFRS preparers)

Financial Instruments• A very complex area!• In all instances the disclosures of Sections 11 & 12 of FRS 102
must be applied• In terms of recognition and measurement, there is an
accounting policy choice between:– Section 11 and Section 12 of FRS 102 (note that slight modifications are in
progress)– IAS 39 (as adopted for use in the EU)– IFRS 9 and/or IAS 39 (as amended following the publication of IFRS 9)
• These choices may produce different results but all of them are difficult to apply and will require some training, documentation and analysis. For the purposes of this discussion, we have assumed you will choose section 11 and 12 of FRS102 (but have reflected the expected modifications discussed above)
![Page 13: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Definition• We will start with the definition of financial
instruments
![Page 14: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Financial instrument• A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of
one entity and financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. • A financial asset is any asset that is:
– Cash– an equity instrument of another entity– a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another
entity, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the entity
• A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity
(For this purpose we have ignored further elements in both definitions dealing with an entity’s own equity instruments)
![Page 15: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Note• This captures many instruments eg. inter-
company loans, which may end up being recorded very differently
![Page 16: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Next step
Whetheri. Basic, non-financing transactionii. Basic financing transactioniii. Other
(very different accounting treatment for each item)
![Page 17: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Initial measurement
Basic Other
Financing transaction
Not a financing transaction
![Page 18: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Basic definition• Cash• A debt instrument meeting specific criteria (11.9
and on next slide) (however note that this definition is under-going change)
• Commitments to create such debt instruments provided cannot settle commitment net in cash
• Investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares
![Page 19: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Basic debt instrument (11.9)A debt instrument that satisfies all of the conditions in (a) to (d) below shall be accounted for in accordance with Section 11:a) Returns to the holder are:
i. a fixed amount;ii. a fixed rate of return over the life of the instrument;iii. a variable return that, throughout the life of the instrument, is equal to a single referenced quoted or observable
interest rate (such as LIBOR); oriv. some combination of such fixed rate and variable rates (such as LIBOR plus 200 basis points), provided that both
the fixed and variable rates are positive (eg an interest rate swap with a positive fixed rate and negative variable rate would not meet this criterion). For fixed and variable rate interest returns, interest is calculated by multiplying the rate for the applicable period by the principal amount outstanding during the period.
b) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. The fact that a debt instrument is subordinated to other debt instruments is not an example of such a contractual provision.
c) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer (the borrower) to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder (the lender) to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events other than to protect:
i. the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer (eg defaults, credit downgrades or loan covenant violations), or a change in control of the issuer; or
ii. the holder or issuer against changes in relevant taxation or law. d) There are no conditional returns or repayment provisions except for the variable rate return described in (a) and
prepayment provisions described in (c).
(However note this is undergoing change)
![Page 20: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Basic
Latest position: • Discussions underway which may result in the
FRC making changes to Section 11• Likely to move towards a principles basis
rather than rules based definition• Likely to widen the range of instruments
classified as basic
![Page 21: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Other
Everything that is not basiceg. stand-alone swaps or particularly complex loans (to be clarified)
![Page 22: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Three different accounting treatments
Initially Subsequently
Basic Non-FT Transaction price less impairment
Transaction price less impairment
Basic FT Fair value (present value of future payments discounted by a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument )
Amortised cost
Other Fair value Fair value
![Page 23: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Financing transaction• A financing transaction may take place in
connection with the sale of goods or services, for example, if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.
![Page 24: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Exceptions• Several, but for example:
– Basic FT can be designated as FVTPL (fair value through profit and loss) if it reduces significantly an accounting mismatch
![Page 25: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
An example: scene setting• An RP originally entered into a £20m bullet
repayment loan for 15 years at a fixed rate of 7%
• 10 years into the loan period, all £20m is outstanding
• Loan is classified as basic under FRS 102• RP decides to refinance
![Page 26: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
An example (cont.)
Note: • Basic FT, therefore prior to refinancing at
amortised cost (normally)• Since market rate initially, carrying value of
£20m (ignoring arrangement fees etc)
![Page 27: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
An example (cont.)• Lender agrees to accept £200k as a fee,
provide £5m of new money and extend the life of the loan instrument by a further 15 years
• In other words, the loan will now become £25m with a further 20 years to run
![Page 28: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
An example (cont.)• Suppose new rate of interest is 5% fixed and
market rate is 3.5% (the higher actual rate reflects the 7% fixed rate from the original loan)
![Page 29: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
An example (cont.)• Let us assume all interest payments happen
on the anniversary of the loan agreement plus bullet repayment
![Page 30: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
An example (cont.)
How do we account for this? • If “substantially different terms” then need to
derecognise existing loan and recognise “new” loan
• No guidance on “substantially different terms” although we can use IAS 39 as guidance
![Page 31: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
An example (cont.)
Assuming we are going to derecognise, then we will do the following: • Expense the £200k (treating it as an early
settlement payment as opposed to an arrangement fee for the new loan, a possible alternative)
![Page 32: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
An example (cont.)• Initially record the new loan at the present
value of future payments discounted by the market rate of interest (3.5%)
![Page 33: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
An example (cont.)• This calculation reveals a balance of
£30,330,000• Derived from aggregating each of the interest
payments of £1.25m over 20 years and the bullet repayment in 20 years time, all discounted by 3.5%
![Page 34: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Subsequent treatment • At anniversary date, the RP pays £1.25m
interest• However only £1.062m of this is recognised as
an expense (3.5% x £30.33m)• The remaining £188k is deducted from the
loan
![Page 36: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Other • “other” loans are likely to be less common
than basic• However all stand-alone swaps and derivatives
are likely to be other and therefore at fair value with movements through SCI
![Page 41: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Hedge accounting• This could produce a mismatch if, for example,
a swap is intended to reduce interest rate risks on a basic loan instrument
• In these circumstances, hedge accounting maybe helpful
![Page 42: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Hedge accounting • Not necessarily the same as hedging from a
treasury perspective • FRS 102 was very limiting • FRED 51: a much more permissive regime
![Page 43: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Hedge accounting • Quite technical but enables recognition of
movements in the income statement to be recorded at the same time
![Page 44: B6: Financial instruments and new international-styled accounting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/568168b2550346895ddf7bce/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
An example 1. An RP enters into a loan with Robber Bank plc on
31 March 2015. The loan balance is £10m (20 years, bullet repayment) and the interest rate is LIBOR+ 200 b.ps
2. On the same day the RP enters into ISDA swap (same nominal) exchanging LIBOR for a fixed rate of 5% per annum
3. At next reporting date fair value of the swap is £1m negative and fair value of the loan is £9.5m
4. Loan is classified as basic (assume) and swap is other
