Article 59. Account 343 - Bonds released ...

1. Accounting Principles ...

Account 343 is only applied to enterprises borrowing capital by the mode of releasing bond. This account is used to record situation of releasing bond, including convertible bond and payment situation for bond of enterprises. This account is also used for recording bonds discounts, premium when issuing bond, and allocation situation of discounts, premiums when determining borrowing costs charged to business and production costs or capitalized for every period. ...

Real interest rate (also called effective interest rate) is defined as follows: ...

It is interest rates for loans of commercial banks commonly applied in the market at the time of the transaction; ...

b) Where the interest rate cannot be determined in accordance with point a above, the real interest rate is the interest rate that enterprises may borrow under the form of issued debt instruments which must not be convertible into shares (bond issuance must not commonly converted or borrowed by conventional contract) in conditions of production, business which is going on normally. ...

Principles of common bonds (unconvertible bonds) ...

When enterprises borrow capital by releasing bond, three cases may occur: ...

- Releasing bond at par (released price equal to Bond par value): means releasing bond with the price complied with bond par value. This case often occurs when the market interest rate is equal to the nominal interest rate of bond released; ...

- Releasing bond at discount (released price less than Bond par value): means releasing bond with the price lower than bond par value, called discounts of bond. This case often occurs when market interest rate is higher than nominal interest rate of bond released; ...

- Releasing bond at premium (released price higher than Bond par value): means releasing bond with the price higher than bond par value. The difference between released Bond par values higher than price of bond called premium of bond. This case often occurs when market interest rate is lower than nominal interest rate of bond released; ...

b) Bond discount and premium are only incurred when enterprises borrow by the mode of releasing bond, and at the releasing time, there is a difference between market interest rate and nominal interest rate approved by the investors who buy bond. Bond discount and premium are determined and recorded immediately at the time of releasing bond. The difference between market interest rate and nominal interest rate after the time of leasing bond shall not influence on value of premiums or discounts recorded. ...

c) Enterprises using Account 3431 - Bonds often used to record the details of contents related to the bond released, including: ...

- Bond par value; ...

- Bond discount; ...

- Bond premium ...

Also monitor in detail according to issuance duration of bond. ...

d) Enterprises must monitor discounts and premiums for every type of bond released, and allocation situation of every discount and premium when determining borrowing costs charged to business and production costs or capitalized for every period, namely: ...

- Bond discount is allocated gradually to be charged into borrowing costs for every period during bond life; ...

- Bond premium is allocated gradually to reduce borrowing costs for every period during the bond life; ...

- In case of bonds’ interest costs are qualified for capitalization, borrowing interests and the allocation of discounts or premiums capitalized in every period must not exceed actual borrowing interests incurred and the allocation of discounts or premiums in that period; ...

- The allocation of discounts or premiums may use the actual interest rate method or the straight line method: ...

According to the real interest rate method: Discounts or premiums allocated into each term calculated by the difference between borrowing interest costs payable for every term of interest payment (calculated by beginning book value of bond multiply (x) with rate of actual interest in the market) with amounts payable every term. ...

According to the straight line method: Discounts or premiums allocated equally during bond life. ...

e) In case of paying interest at maturity, periodically, enterprises must calculate bond interest’s payable every term, to record it into business and production costs or capitalize it into value of unfinished assets ...

g) When making financial statement, in the liabilities of the balance sheet, the item of bond released shall be recorded on net basis (determining by bond value at par minus (-) bond discount are plus (+) Bond premium) ...

h) Cost of issuing bonds is gradually allocated in accordance with bond life under the straight line method or real interest rate method and recorded in the financial expense or capitalized. At the time of initial record, the cost of issuing bonds is recorded a decrease in par value of the bond. Periodically, accountants allocate cost for bond issuance by recording an increase in the par value and recording in financial expense or capitalization in accordance with the recording accrued interest of the bond. ...

Accounting principles of convertible bonds ...

Convertible bonds are bonds that may be converted into common shares of the same issuer under the conditions identified in the released plan. Enterprises issuing convertible bonds must carry out procedures and meet the conditions of the convertible bonds issuance under the provisions of law. ...

b) Enterprise (the issuer of convertible bonds) uses account 3432 - Convertible bonds to record the value of the principal of convertible bonds at the time of reporting. Enterprises must open detailed accounting books to keep track of each type of convertible bonds according to term, interest rate and par value. ...

c) Convertible bonds recorded on account 3432 are bonds that can be converted into a number of determined shares defined in the issuance plan. Bonds that may be converted into a number of undetermined shares at maturity (depending on the market value of the shares at maturity) are accounted for as common bonds. ...

d) Cost of issuing convertible bonds is gradually allocated in accordance with bond life under the straight line method or real interest rate method and recorded in the financial expense or capitalized. At the time of initial record, the cost of issuing convertible bonds is recorded reducing par value of the bond. Periodically, accountings allocate cost for bond issuance by recording increasing the par value recorded in financial expense or capitalized in accordance with the recording accrued interest of the bond. ...

e) At the time of initial record, when issuing convertible bonds, enterprises must calculate and determine separately value of the debt component (principal debt) and capital component of convertible bonds. Principal debt of convertible bonds is recorded a liabilities; component of capital (stock options) of convertible bonds is recorded an equity. The valuation of the components of the convertible bond is carried out as follows: ...

- Valuation of the principal of convertible bonds at the time of release ...

At the time of initial record, the value of the principal of convertible bonds is determined by discounting the nominal value of future payments (including principal and interest of bonds) about the present value under interest rate of similar bonds in the market without the right to convert into shares and subtracting the cost of issuing convertible bonds. In case of failure to determine the interest rate of similar bonds, enterprises use common loan interest rates in the market at the time of the issuance of bonds to determine the present value of future payments. ...

Common loan interest rate in the market is loan interest rate used in the majority of transactions in the market. ...

Enterprises shall actively determine common loan interest rates in the market in the most accordance with characteristics of the production and trading of the enterprises in consistence with the provisions of the State Bank. ...

Example of valuation of the principal of convertible bonds at the time of release: On January 1, 2012, Thang Long joint-stock company issues 1 million of convertible bonds with par value of VND 10,000 in 3-year period, nominal interest rate is 10% / year, payment of interest is every year at the end of the year. Interest rate of unconvertible similar bonds is 15% / year. At maturity, each bond is convertible into one share. Knowing that the convertible bonds are issued to mobilize capital for normal production, business (interest is included in financial expense). Valuation of the principal of convertible bonds at the time of initial record is carried out (ignoring the cost of issuing bonds) as follows: ...

Unit: dong ...

Present value of future liabilities ...

First year: ...

Total ...

8,858,385,000 ...

According to this example, total amount collected from the bond issuance is 10,000,000,000d, in which the total present value of future payments including principal and interest of bonds is 8,858,385,000d. This value is defined as the value of the principal of convertible bonds at the time of initial recording and is recorded as liabilities from the issuance of convertible bonds. ...

- Valuation of capital component of convertible bonds (bond conversion option) ...

The value of the capital component of convertible bonds is defined as the difference between the total amounts collected from issuance of convertible bonds and the value of the debt component of the convertible bond at the time of release. ...

According to the above example, the value of the capital component of convertible bonds is defined as: 10,000,000,000 - 8,858,385,000 = 1,141,615 billion dong. The value of capital component of convertible bonds is recorded as stock options under the equity. ...

g) After initial recording, accountants must adjust the value of the principal of converted bond as follows: ...

- Record an increase in the value of the principal of the bonds for issuance costs allocated periodically; ...

- Record an increase in the value of the principal of bonds for the difference between the payable bond interests calculated on the interest of the unconvertible similar bond or real interest rates higher than the payable interest calculated on nominal interest rate. ...

Example: Following the above example, the determination of financial expenses in the period and adjustment of the value of the principal of convertible bonds at the end of the period shall be as follows: ...

Unit Thousand dong ...

Value of the principal of convertible bonds at the beginning of period ...

Financial expense recorded in the period ...

(Interest 15%/year) ...

h) Upon maturity of convertible bonds: ...

- The value of stock options of convertible bonds recorded in equity is transferred to be recorded as premium of share capital which does not depend on the bondholders who can exercise the option to convert into stock or not. ...

- If the bondholders do not exercise the option to convert bonds into stocks, enterprises must record a decrease in the principal of convertible bonds in proportion to the repaid amount of the bond. ...

- If the bondholders exercise the option to convert bonds into stocks, accountants must record a decrease in the principal of convertible bonds and record an increase in owner’s capital in proportion to par value of stocks released additionally. The difference between the values of the principal of the convertible bonds which is higher than the value of stocks released additionally is recorded as share premium. ...
