Hello all,
We have several positions of ‘commodity storages’ in our portfolio (oil storage tanks, underground gas storages, coal reserves…). These storages are considered as assets and are valued at a typical average winter/summer commodity spread (buy summer, sell winter). The complete portfolio is accounted using the “accrual” method. Within the trading business these spreads are also referred to as intrinsic value of a storage.
We are considering trading positions on these assets in the future… This implies that traders should be possible to take daily ’speculative’ positions on assets assigned in our physical …

Hello,

Thanks!

ACo, an offshore company, makes non-interest bearing loans of $10m in FY00, to ZCo a related entity in a tax paying jurisdiction. Repayment terms are 5 equal annual installments from FY05, ending FY10.
Whilst i agree that one would generally FV the loan by discounting the future receivables to PV using market rates, what would one do with the difference between the PV (say $8m) and the $10m? I think one would immediately recognise that “unearned interest” of $2m in the income statement as a Dr, and in future years recognise the PV …
