A-4 ESOPs are plans under which an enterprise grants options for a specified period to its
employees to purchase its shares at a fixed or determinable price. One advantage of ESOPs as
remuneration is that they need not entail any cash cost to the enterprise. Unlisted companies,
in particular, start-up companies, often give share-based compensation since they cannot
afford to pay high salaries to their employees but are willing to share the future prosperity of
the company. It is hence important that cost relating to these stock option plans get recognized
in the financial statements.
The importance of Employee Stock Option Plan lies in the following advantages which accrue to
both the company and the employees:
1. Stock options provide an opportunity to employees to participate and contribute in the
growth of the company.
2. Stock options create long term wealth in the hands of the employees.
3. They are important means to attract, retain and motivate the best available talent for the
company.
4. It creates a common sense of ownership between the company and its employees.

(i) Vesting means to become an entitlement. Under an employee stock option plan, a
counterparty’s right to receive cash, other assets or equity instruments of the enterprise vests
when the counterparty’s entitlement is no longer conditional on the satisfaction of any vesting
conditions.
(ii) Grant Date is the date at which the enterprise and another party (i.e. an employee) agree to
an employee stock option plan, being when the enterprise and the counterparty have a shared
understanding of the terms and conditions of the arrangement. At grant date, the enterprise
confers on the counterparty the right to cash, other assets, or equity instruments of the
enterprise, provided the specified vesting conditions, if any, are met. If that agreement is
subject to an approval process (for example, by shareholders), grant date is the date when that
approval is obtained.
(iii) Exercise Price is the price payable by the counterparty for exercising the option granted to
him/her/it in pursuance of the employee stock option plan.

A-16 Section 326 of the Companies Act, 2013 is talks about the overriding preferential
payments to be made from the amount realized from the assets to be distributed to various
kinds of creditors. According to the proviso given in the section 326 the security of every
secured creditor should be deemed to be subject to a paripassu change in favor of the
workman to the extent of their portion.

A-28 AS 4 (Revised) defines "Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date" as those significant
events, both favourable and unfavorable, that occur between the balance sheet date and the
date on which the financial statements are approved by the Approving Authority in the case of
a company. Accordingly, the acquisition of another company is an event occurring after the
balance sheet date. However, no adjustment to assets and liabilities is required as the event
does not affect the determination and the condition of the amounts stated in the financial
statements for the year ended 31st March, 20X1. The disclosure should be made in the report
of the approving authority of those events occurring after the balance sheet date that
represent material changes and commitments affecting the financial position of the enterprise,
the investment of Rs. 100 lakhs in April, 20X1 for the acquisition of another company should be
disclosed in the report of the Approving Authority to enable users of financial statements to
make proper evaluations and decisions.
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
A-29 (i) Non-adjusting event: Suit filed against the company is a contingent liability but it was
not existing as on date of balance sheet date as the suit was filed on 20th April after the
balance sheet date. As per AS 4, 'Contingencies' is restricted to conditions or situations at the
balance sheet date, the financial effect of which is to be determined by future events which
may or may not occur. Hence, it will have no effect on financial statement and will be a non-
adjusting event.
(ii) Adjusting event: In the given case, terms and conditions for acquisition of business were
finalized before the balance sheet date and carried out before the closure of the books of
accounts but transaction for payment of financial resources was effected in April, 2020. Hence,
necessary adjustment to assets and liabilities for acquisition of business is necessary in the
financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2020.
(iii) Non-adjusting event: Only those events which occur between the balance sheet date and
the date on which the financial statements are approved, may indicate the need for
adjustments to assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date or may require disclosure. In
the given case, as the theft of cash was detected on 16th July, 2020 ie after approval of financial
statements, no adjustment is required.
(iv) Non-adjusting event: Adjustments to assets and liabilities are not appropriate for events
occurring after the balance sheet date, if such events do not relate to conditions existing at the
balance sheet date. In the given case, sale of immovable property was under proposal stage
(negotiations only started) on the balance sheet date, and was not finalized. Therefore,
adjustment to assets for sale of immovable property is not necessary in the financial
statements for the year ended 31st March, 2020. Disclosure may be given in Report of
approving Authority.
(v) Non-adjusting event: Adjustments to assets and liabilities are not appropriate for events
occurring after the balance sheet date, if such events do not relate to conditions existing at the
balance sheet date. The condition of fire occurrence was not existing on the balance sheet date.
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
Only the disclosure regarding fire and loss, being completely insured may be given in the report
of approving authority.
A-30 As per AS 5 “Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in
Accounting Policies” Extraordinary items should be disclosed in the statement of profit and loss
as a part of net profit or loss for the period. The nature and the amount of each extraordinary
item should be separately disclosed in the statement of profit and loss in a manner that its
impact on current profit or loss can be perceived.
In the given case the selling of land to tide over liquidation problems as well as fire in the
factory does not constitute ordinary activities of the Company. These items are distinct from
the ordinary activities of the business. Both the events are material in nature and expected not
to recur frequently or regularly. Thus, these are Extraordinary Items.
Therefore, in the given case, disclosing net profits by setting off fire losses against profit from
sale of land is not correct. The profit on sale of land, and loss due to fire should be disclosed
separately in the statement of profit and loss.
A-31 The final bill having been paid in February, 20X8 should have been accounted for in the
annual accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March, 20X8. However, it seems that
as a result of error or omission in the preparation of the financial statements of prior period
i.e., for the year ended 31st March 20X8, this material charge has arisen in the current period
i.e., year ended 31st March, 20X9. Therefore it should be treated as 'Prior period item' as per
AS 5. As per AS 5, prior period items are normally included in the determination of net profit or
loss for the current period. An alternative approach is to show such items in the statement of
Profit and loss after determination of current net profit or loss. In either case, the objective is to
indicate the effect of such items on the current profit or loss.
It may be mentioned that it is an expense arising from the ordinary course of business.
Although abnormal in amount or infrequent in occurrence, such an expense does not qualify an
extraordinary item as per AS 5. For better understanding, the fact that power bill is accounted
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
for at provisional rates billed by the state electricity board and final adjustment thereof is made
as and when final bill is received may be mentioned as an accounting policy.

A-34 (i) Revenue from sales where the purchaser makes a series of instalment payments to the
seller and the seller delivers the goods only when the final payment is received, should not be
recognised until goods are delivered. However, when experience indicates that most such sales
have been consummated, revenue may be recognised when a significant is received.
(ii) For sale where seller concurrently agrees to repurchase the same goods at a later date, such
transactions are in substance a financing agreement. In such a situation, the resulting cash
inflow should not be recognised as revenue.
(iii) Revenue from sales of goods to distributors, dealers or others for resale can generally be
recognised if significant risks of ownership have passed. However, in some situations the buyer
may in substance be an agent and in such cases the sale should be treated as a consignment
sale.
(iv) Commissions on service rendered as agent on insurance business should be recognised as
revenue when the service is completed. Insurance agency commissions should be recognised
on the effective commencement or renewal dates of the related policies
A-35 As per AS 9 on Revenue Recognition, revenue arising from the use by others of enterprise
resources yielding interest and royalties should only be recognized when no significant
uncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists. These revenues are recognized on the
following bases:
(i) Interest: on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate
applicable. Therefore X Ltd. should recognize interest revenue of Rs. 10 Lakhs
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
(ii) Royalties: on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement. X Ltd.
therefore should recognize royalty revenue of Rs. 15 Lakhs.
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
A-37 AS 17 ‘Segment Reporting’ requires that inter-segment transfers should be measured on
the basis that the enterprise actually used to price these transfers. The basis of pricing inter-
segment transfers and any change therein should be disclosed in the financial statements.
Hence, the enterprise can have its own policy for pricing inter-segment transfers and hence,
inter-segment transfers may be based on cost, below cost or market price. However, whichever
policy is followed, the same should be disclosed and applied consistently. Therefore, in the
given case inter-segment transfer pricing policy adopted by the company is correct if, followed
consistently.
A-38 The supplier and the company cannot be considered to be related parties merely because
the latter is able to influence the transaction price between the parties. Paragraph 3 of AS 18
states that “enterprises that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control,
or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the reporting enterprise” are
considered to be related party relationships.
However, the conditions which define the existence of control, as follows, are not satisfied in
the given example.
• ‘Ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than one-half of the voting power of an enterprise,
or
• Control of the composition of the board of directors in the case of a company or of the
composition of the corresponding governing body in case of any other enterprise, or
• A substantial interest in voting power and the power to direct, by statue or agreement, the
financial and/or operating policies of the enterprise”.
Paragraph 10 of the standard defines significant influence as “participation in the financial
and/or operating policy decisions of an enterprise, but not control of those policies”. In the
given example, although the supplier and the company have entered into a commercial
transaction, the terms of which are influenced by the latter because of its better bargaining
power in the specific market for such goods, it cannot be concluded that there is participation
in the financial and/or operating policy decisions.
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
Therefore, as the conditions specified by the Standard for being classified as a related party are
not satisfied in the given example, the company cannot be said to be related to the supplier.
This view is supported by paragraph 4 (b) of the Standard which states that “a single customer,
supplier, franchiser, distributor, or general agent with whom an enterprise transacts a
significant volume of business merely by virtue of the resulting economic dependence” would
not be deemed to be related parties.
A-39 As per AS 19 on Leases, unearned finance income is the difference between (a) the gross
investment in the lease and (b) the present value of minimum lease payments under a finance
lease from the standpoint of the lessor; and any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the
lessor, at the interest rate implicit in the lease.
Where:
(a) Gross investment in the lease is the aggregate of (i) minimum lease payments from the
stand point of the lessor and (ii) any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the lessor.
Gross investment = Minimum lease payments + Unguaranteed residual value = [Total lease rent
+ Guaranteed residual value (GRV)] + Unguaranteed residual value (URV)
= [Rs. 8, 00,000 × 5 years) + Rs. 1, 60,000] + Rs. 1, 40,000 = Rs. 43, 00,000 (a)

EPS = 15, 00,000/5, 87,500 = Rs. 2.55
A-42 The current method of calculating Diluted EPS adopted by AB limited is not in accordance
with AS 20. The calculation of Diluted EPS should include all potential equity shares, i.e., all the
stock options granted at the balance sheet date, which are dilutive in nature, irrespective of the
vesting pattern. The options that have lapsed during the year should be included for the portion
of the period the same were outstanding, pursuant to the requirement of the standard.
AS 20 states that “A potential equity share is a financial instrument or other contract that
entitles, or may entitle, its holder to equity shares”. Options including employee stock option
plans under which employees of an enterprise are entitled to receive equity shares as part of
their remuneration and other similar plans are examples of potential equity shares. Further, for
the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period should be adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

A-44 Accounting income (loss) is the net profit or loss for a period, as reported in the
statement of profit and loss, before deducting income-tax expense or adding income tax saving.
Taxable income (tax loss) is the amount of the income (loss) for a period, determined in
accordance with the tax laws, based upon which income-tax payable (recoverable) is
determined.
Taxable expenses is the aggregate of current tax and deferred tax charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss for the period.

A-46 (i) An enterprise should include the following information relating to a discontinuing
operation in its financial statements beginning with the financial statements for the period in
which the initial disclosure event occurs:
(a) A description of the discontinuing operation(s);
(b) The business or geographical segment(s) in which it is reported as per AS 17 ‘Segment
Reporting’;
(c) The date and nature of the initial disclosure event;
(d) The date or period in which the discontinuance is expected to be completed if known or
determinable;
(e) The carrying amounts, as of the balance sheet date, of the total assets to be disposed of and
the total liabilities to be settled;
(f) The amounts of revenue and expenses in respect of the ordinary activities attributable to the
discontinuing operation during the current financial reporting period;
(g) the amount of pre-tax profit or loss from ordinary activities attributable to the discontinuing
operation during the current financial reporting period, and the income tax expense related
thereto; and
(h) The amounts of net cash flows attributable to the operating, investing, and financing
activities of the discontinuing operation during the current financial reporting period.
(ii) Para 3 of AS 24 “Discontinuing Operations” explains the criteria for determination of
discontinuing operations. According to AS 24, examples of activities that do not necessarily
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
satisfy criterion (a) of paragraph 3, but that might do so in combination with other
circumstances, include:
(i) Gradual or evolutionary phasing out of a product line or class of service;
(ii) Discontinuing, even if relatively abruptly, several products within an ongoing line of
business;
(iii) Shifting of some production or marketing activities for a particular line of business from one
location to another; and
(iv) Closing of a facility to achieve productivity improvements or other cost savings.
An example in relation to consolidated financial statements is selling a subsidiary whose
activities are similar to those of the parent or other subsidiaries
A-47 AS 26 ‘Intangible Assets” provides that an intangible asset should be measured initially at
cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset should be carried at cost less any accumulated
amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The amount of an intangible asset
should be allocated on a systematic basis over the best estimate of its useful life for computing
amortization. There is a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will
not exceed 10 years from the date when the asset is available for use. It must be ensured that
the value of brand is amortized in accordance with AS 26, as brand is considered to be
intangible asset. The contention of PQR Ltd. that Brand is very popular and famous, hence no
amortization needs to be provided is not correct as there is no persuasive evidence that the
useful life of the intangible asset will exceed 10 years.
A-48 In the given case, the company spent Rs. 45 lakhs for publicity and research of a new
product which was marketed but proved to be a failure. It is clear that in future there will be no
related further revenue/benefit because of the failure of the product. Thus, according to AS 26
GMTESTSERIES.COM®
‘Intangible Assets’, the company should charge the total amount of Rs. 45 lakhs as an expense
in the profit and loss account.
A-49 Principles for recognition of provisions: As per AS 29, “a provision shall be recognized
when:
(i) An entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; and
(iii) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If these conditions are not
met, no provision shall be recognized.”
Accounting treatment under the given scenarios:
(i) On 31st March, 2020, since it is evident to the lawyer that Chaos Limited may lose the case
and also a reliable estimate of the outflow can be made as Rs. 3, 00,000, there is a present
obligation. Hence, provision should be recognized for Rs. 3, 00,000 for the amount which may
be required to settle the obligation.
(ii) Under new regulation, an entity is required to upgrade its facilities by 31st March, 2021.
However, on 31st March, 2020, i.e. at the end of the reporting period, there is no obligation
because there is no obligating event either for the costs of upgrading the facilities or for fines
under the regulations. Hence, no provision should be recognized on 31st March, 2020 for
upgrading the facilities by 31st March, 2021.
(iii) The obligating event is the sale of health care equipment with a warranty, which gives rise
to a legal obligation. Here, an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in settlement
is probable for the warranties as a whole. Hence, a provision is recognized for the best estimate
of the costs of making good under the warranty products sold before the end of the reporting
period as follows:
Probability of warranty cases for the entity where repair/replacement may be required as per
past experience = 1% of Rs. 5, 00, 00,000 = Rs. 5, 00,000
Estimated cost of repair / replacement = Rs. 5, 00,000 x 10% = Rs. 50,000.
