Communication Case 18–3
This case encourages students to consider the larger question of the factors that
differentiate whether financial instruments qualify for recognition as liabilities or part
of equity. It also requires them to carefully consider the profession’s definitions of
those elements. You may wish to suggest to your students that they consult FASB
ASC 480: “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (previously SFAS No. 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities
and Equity), and the FASB’s Preliminary Views on phase two of that project, which
Arguments brought out in IAS 32 cited above include the following:
Classification as Liability or Equity
The fundamental principle of IAS 32 is that a financial instrument should be classified
as either a financial liability or an equity instrument according to the substance of the
Case 18–3 (continued)
A financial instrument is an equity instrument only if (a) the instrument includes no
contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity and
(b) if the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer’s own equity instruments, it is
either:
Illustration – preference shares
If an enterprise issues preference (preferred) shares that pay a fixed rate of dividend
and that have a mandatory redemption feature at a future date, the substance is that
Arguments brought out in FASB documents cited above include the following:
Basic Ownership Approach—The Board’s Preliminary View
The underlying principle of the basic ownership approach is that claims against the
entity’s assets are liabilities (or assets) if they reduce (or enhance) the net assets
available to the owners of the entity. Under the approach, an instrument would be
classified as equity if it is a basic ownership instrument. A basic ownership instrument

Case 18–3 (concluded)
Ownership-Settlement Approach
Under the ownership-settlement approach, an entity would classify instruments based
on the nature of their return and their settlement requirements (or lack thereof). The
following three types of instruments would be classified as equity:
1. Basic ownership instruments
An indirect ownership instrument has the following characteristics:
1. It is not perpetual
2. Its terms link its value to the price of a basic ownership instrument and cause its
If an instrument has one or more equity outcomes and one or more nonequity
outcomes, it would be separated into an equity component and a nonequity
component. Examples of instruments that would be separated are convertible debt and
puttable stock. The nonequity component of a separated instrument would be initially

Requirement 2
Cisco relies on FASB ASC 220–10–45–8: “Comprehensive Income–Overall–Other
Presentation Matters” when reporting comprehensive income. Cisco reports a separate
statement of comprehensive income.

statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements that
constitute a full set of financial statements. This Subtopic does not require a specific
Case 18–4 (continued)
Requirement 3
Comprehensive income is a more expansive view of the change in shareholders’
equity than traditional net income. It is the total nonowner change in equity for a
reporting period. In fact, it encompasses all changes in equity other than from
The first of these—components of comprehensive income created during the
reporting period—can be reported either (a) as an extension of the income statement
or (b) in a separate statement, immediately following the income statement.
