II. Learning Activities

LOAN RECEIVABLE

Loan receivable is a financial asset in the form of loan given by a bank or other
financial institutes to a borrower. The term of the loan may be classified as short-term
but usually it is long-term receivable.

Initial Measurement of Loan Receivable

At initial recognition, an entity shall measure a financial asset at Fair Value plus
transaction cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
However, if the financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or
loss the transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are
expensed outright. (PFRS 9, paragraph 5.1.1)

Loans receivable is financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or
loss. Hence it should be initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly
attributed to the acquisition of financial asset.

The fair value of the loan receivable at initial recognition is normally the
transaction price, which is the amount of the granted loan.

The transaction costs directly attributed to the acquisition of loan receivable

include Direct origination cost. Indirect origination costs on the other hand are
treated as outright expense.

Subsequent Measurement of Loan Receivable

After the initial measurement, the financial asset shall be measured at:

a. Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

b. Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
c. Amortized cost

The method of measurement depends on the business model of managing the

financial asset which may be to realize fair value changes and to collect
contractual cash flows. (PFRS 9, paragraph 5.2.1)

If the business model is to hold the financial asset in order to collect contractual
cash flows on specified date and the contractual cash flows are solely payment of
principal and interest, the financial asset shall be measured at Amortized cost. (PFRS
9, paragraph 4.1.2)

Hence, a loan receivable is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the

effective interest rate method.

Amortized cost

The amortized cost is the initial measurement of loan receivable less/minus

principal payment, plus or minus cumulative amortization of any difference of initial
carrying amount to the principal maturity amount and minus impairment loss or
uncollectibility.
If the initial amount recognized is lower than the principal amount, the
amortization of the difference is added to the carrying amount. If the initial amount is
higher the amortization is deducted to the carrying amount.

Origination Fees

The origination fees are fees charge by bank against the borrower. It’s a
compensation of the bank for the creation of the loan.

The origination fees are derived from the following activities:

1. Evaluation of collateral and security

2. Negotiation of the terms of the loan
3. Processing of the documents required
4. Evaluation of borrower’s financial condition

Treatment for origination fees

The origination cost received from the borrowers or clients are recognized as
unearned interest income and will be amortized over the term of the loan.

There are origination fees that are not chargeable against the borrower. These
fees are defined as “direct origination costs”. Direct origination costs are cost incurred
by the bank and not received from the borrower. Direct origination costs are also
amortized over the term of the loan.

The origination fee received and the direct origination costs incurred are included
in the measurement of the loan receivable’s carrying amount.

If the direct origination cost exceeds the origination fees received, the difference
is charged to “direct origination cost, the amortization will decrease the interest income.

However, if the origination fee is higher than the direct origination costs, the
interest income will increase and the difference of the two is recorded as unearned
interest income.
Illustration

Smart Bank granted a 3-year loan to a borrower on January 1, 2020.

The interest of the loan is 10% and payable annually starting
December 21, 2020. The loan matures on December 31, 2022.
 Principal amount 4,000,000 Origination fee received 302,100 Direct
origination costs incurred 110,000 Indirect origination costs incurred 30,000

Initial measurement of the loan

Principal amount 4,000,000 Direct origination costs 110,000 Origination fees
(302,100) Carrying amount 3,807,900

Note: The indirect origination costs are expense outright.

Loan receivable 4,000,000

2. To record origination fee received

Cash 302,100

Unearned interest income 302,100

3. To record the direct origination costs

Unearned Interest income 110,000

Cash 110,000

The origination fee exceeds the amount of direct origination cost. Thus, there
is an unearned interest income of P192,100 (P302,100 – 110,000). A new effective
interest rate must be computed, because of origination fees received and the direct
origination costs incurred.

After consideration of the direct origination costs and origination fees

received, the effective rate is 12%. Since the initial carrying amount of the loan is
lower than
the principal amount the effective rate should be higher than the nominal rate
because of discount of the loan.

Note: There is a difference of P65 because of rounding the PV.

Interest received = Principal x nominal interest rate Interest income = Carrying

amount x effective interest rate Amortization = Interest received – interest income

Carrying amount = Beginning carrying amount (prior year) + amortization

Note: Since the carrying amount is lower than the principal amount, the amortization
should be added.

Impairment loss -CA GREATER THAN THE RECOVERABLE AMOUNT!

 There is a possibility that the issuer of the loan will not be able to collect some
or even all the amount of loan receivable due to borrower’s incapacity to pay (credit
risk). If this happens, the loan receivable is impaired.

According to the standards, an entity shall measure the loss allowance for a
financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the
credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial
recognition. (PFRS 9, 5.5.3)

Credit losses occur because of the credit risk. It is the loss on the
uncollectible payments of the borrower.

In measuring the credit loss, the entity should consider the probability-
weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable information. Any
information, internally or externally are can be used on measuring the expected
credit losses.

The impairment loss amount is the difference of the carrying amount to the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at original effective interest
rate. The loans receivable’s carrying amount shall be deducted using either direct
method or with allowance account.
Illustration

Sugar bank granted five year loan of P10,000,000 to Pepper company on

January 1, 2020. The terms require principal payment of P2,000,000 every year
with interest of 10%, starting on December 31, 2020.

On December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, Pepper Company made
the required payments. 4M

Unfortunately, Pepper Company was unable to make the required

payments on December 31, 2022 because of weak financial condition of the
company due to low revenue during year 2022.

After sugar bank assessed the collectability of the loan on December 31,
2022, the bank determined that the remaining principal will be collected;
however, the interest payments will not be collected.

On December 31, 2022, the loan receivable has a P6,600,000 carrying

 amount including the accrued interest of P 600,000.

Three stage impairment approach

Stage 1 – It covers debt instrument that have low credit risk. Under this stage 12-
month expected credit loss is recognized. It is the portion of the lifetime expected
credit loss from default event within 12 months after reporting period.

Stage 2 – It covers debt instrument that have declined significantly but do not
have evidence of impairment. Lifetime expected credit loss is recognized under
this stage.

Lifetime expected credit loss is the expected credit loss resulting from all
default events over the expected life of the debt instrument. It is measured for
trade receivable using aging method, percentage of receivable and percentage of
sales.
Stage 3 – It covers debt instrument with evidence of impairment. Lifetime
expected credit loss is recognized.

Computation of interest income

Under stages 1 and 2 the interest income is based on face amount.

Interest income = Face amount x interest rate

Under stage 3 the interest income is based on net carrying amount.

Net carrying amount = Face amount – allowance for credit loss
Interest income = Net carrying amount x interest rate
