The Financial Asset Model – recording the construction asset
Table 1 Concession terms
The terms of the arrangement require an operator to construct a road – completing construction within two years – and maintain and operate the road to a specified standard for eight years (i.e. years 3-10). The terms of the concession also require the operator to resurface the road at the end of year 8. At the end of year 10, the arrangement will end. The operator estimates that the costs it will incur to fulfil its obligations will be:
|
Year |
€ |
|
|
Construction services (per year) |
1-2 |
500 |
|
Operation services (per year) |
3-10 |
10 |
|
Road resurfacing |
8 |
100 |
The terms of the concession require the grantor to pay the operator €200 per year in years 3-10 for making the road available to the public.
For the purpose of this illustration, it is assumed that all cash flows take place at the end of the year.
Table 2 Contract revenue
The operator recognises contract revenue and costs in accordance with IAS 11. The costs of each activity – construction, operation, maintenance and resurfacing – are recognised as expenses by reference to the stage of completion of that activity. Contract revenue – the fair value of the amount due from the grantor for the activity undertaken – is recognised at the same time.
The total consideration (€200 in each of years 3-8) reflects the fair values for each of the services, which are:
|

Forecast cost |

5% |

‘’ |
+ |
20% |
|
Road resurfacing |
‘’ |

10% |
|
Lending rate to grantor |
6.18% per year |

In year 1, for example, construction costs of €500, construction revenue of €525 (cost plus 5 per cent), and hence construction profit of €25 are recognised in the income statement.
Financial asset
The amount due from the grantor meets the definition of a receivable in IAS 39. The receivable is measured initially at fair value. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost, i.e. the amount initially recognised plus the cumulative interest on that amount calculated using the effective interest method minus repayments.

No effective interest arises in year 1 because the cash flows are assumed to take place at the end of the year.
