CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11) Objective

This objective of this IAS is to provide accounting treatment of contract revenue and

cost associated with the construction contracts, particularly the allocation of

contract costs and contract revenues over different accounting periods as the

construction activity starts and completed in different accounting periods. Scope

This IAS should be applied in accounting for construction contracts in the financial

statements of contractors. Definitions

Construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an

asset or a combination of assets that are closely interrelated or interdependence in

terms of their design, technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use. Fixed price contract is a construction contract in which contractors agrees to a fixed

contract price, or a fixed rate per unit of output, which in some cases is subject to

cost escalation clauses. Cost-plus contract is a construction contract in which the contractor is reimbursed

for allowable or otherwise defined costs, plus a percentage of these costs or a fixed

price.

A contract may be a single contract like construction of a bridge or dam and can

be a contract for a series of contracts, which are closely interrelated or

interdependent in terms of design, technology or construction. Construction

contracts include contracts for rendering of services and destruction/restoration of

assets. Combining and segmenting construction contracts

When a construction contract covers a number of assets, each asset will be treated

as separate construction contract when: -

a) Separate proposals have been submitted for each asset

b) Each asset has been subject to separate negotiation and contractor and

customer have been able to accept or reject that part of the contract

relating to each asset; and

c) The costs and revenues of each asset can be identified

A group of contracts, whether with a single customer or with several costumers shall

be treated as a single contract when: -

a) The group of contracts negotiated as a single contract

b) The contracts are so closely interrelated that they are in effect part of a single

project with an overall profit margin; and

c) The contracts are performed concurrently or in a continuous sequence

A contract may include an additional asset at the option of the customer, the

construction of additional asset shall be treated as a separate construction contract

when: -

a) The asset differs significantly in design, technology or function from the asset

or assets covered by the original contract; or

b) The price of the asset is negotiated without regard to the original contract

price

Contract revenue

Contract revenue includes: -

a) The initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract; and

b) Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments: -

i) to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue; and

ii) they are capable of being reliably measured

Contract revenues are measured at the fair value of consideration received or

receivable. The contract revenue is affected by a number of uncertainties, which

may require the revision of revenue estimates (such as variations in the contract,

cost escalation clauses, penalties & claims, incentives etc.)

The variations are included in the revenue when: -

a) it is probable that the customer will approve the variation/amount of revenue

arising from variation

b) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably

The claims are included in the revenue only when: -

a) negotiations have reached the advanced stage and it is probable that the

customer will accept the claim

b) the amount probable to be accepted by the customer can be measured

reliably

Incentive payments are included in the revenue when: -

a) the contract is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified

performance standards will be met or exceeded

b) the amount of incentive payments can be measured reliably Contract costs

Contract costs are: -

a) costs specifically related to the contract

b) general costs attributable to the contract; and

c) such other costs specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of

the contract (administrative costs, development costs etc.) Examples of specific costs are: -

a) site labor costs, including site supervision;

b) costs of materials used in construction;

c) depreciation of plant and machinery used on the contract;

d) costs of moving plant, equipment and materials to or from the site;

e) costs of hiring plant and equipment

f) costs of design and technical assistance that is directly related to the

contract;

g) the estimated costs of rectification and guarantee work, including expected

warranty costs; and

h) claims from third parties

The above stated costs will be reduced any incidental income such as from sale of

surplus materials, wastes etc. Examples of general costs are: -

a) insurance;

b) costs of design and technical assistance that are not directly related to a

specific contract; and

c) construction overheads Examples of costs excluded from the contract costs are: -

a) general administrative and development costs for which is reimbursement is

not specified in the contract;

b) selling costs;

Page 3: Chapter 19 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11)€¦ · Page 1 of 23 Chapter 19 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11) Objective This objective of this IAS is to provide accounting treatment

Page 3 of 23

c) research and development costs for which reimbursement is not specified in

the contract; and

d) depreciation of idle plant and machinery that is not used on a particular

contract

Recognition of contract revenue and expenses

When the outcome of a construction contract can be measured reliably, contract

revenues and associated contract costs will be recognized as revenue and

expenses by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the balance

sheet date. Any expected loss on the contract shall be recognized as an expense

immediately. Estimation of outcome of a construction contract

Fixed price contract, the outcome of a fixed price contract can be measured

reliably when: -

a) Total contract revenue can be measured reliably

b) The associated economic benefits will flow to the entity

c) Both contract cost to complete and the stage of completion can be

measured reliably; and

d) Contract costs are clearly identifiable and measured reliably so that contract

costs incurred can be measured reliably

Cost plus contract, the outcome of cost plus contract can be measured reliably

when: -

a) The associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and

b) The contract costs attributable to the contract, whether associated or not

specifically reimbursable, can be clearly identified and measured reliably

Recognition of contract revenue under various methods

Contract revenue is generally recognized under the following methods: -

a) The proportion the contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to

the estimated total costs;

b) Survey of work performed; or

c) Completion of physical proportion of the contract work Following are the steps: -

� Match contract revenue with the contract costs in reaching the stage of

completion (costs incurred to date/(costs incurred to date + estimated costs

to complete the contract)

� Contracts costs related to future activity should be recognized as an asset

and not to be taken in the figure of costs to date such as materials delivered

on the site to be used in the future activity unless specifically purchased for

the contract, payments in advance to subcontractors (contract work in

progress)

� The percentage of completion method is to be applied on cumulative basis

in each accounting period to the current estimates of contract revenue or

contract costs. Any change in the estimate of contract revenue or contract

costs is accounted for as change in accounting estimate.

� If any uncertainty arises about the calculability of any amount already

recognized in revenue should be charged as expense rather than deduction

from the contract revenue.

When the outcome of a contract can’t be estimated reliably: -

a) revenue shall be recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that is

probable will be recoverable; and

b) contract costs shall be recognized as an expense in the period in which they

are incurred

Page 4: Chapter 19 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11)€¦ · Page 1 of 23 Chapter 19 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11) Objective This objective of this IAS is to provide accounting treatment

Page 4 of 23

Examples of circumstances when the recoverability of the contract may not be

probable and contract costs to be recognized as expenses include the contracts: -

a) which are not enforceable;

b) the completion is subject to pending litigation;

c) relating to properties that are likely to be condemned or expropriated;

d) where the customer is unable to meet its obligation; or

e) where the contractor is unable to meet its obligation under the contract Recognition of expected losses

When it is probable that the contract cost will exceed total contract revenue, the

expected loss should be recognized as an expense immediately.

The amount of loss will be recognized irrespective of the following: -

a) whether the work has commenced on the contract;

b) the stage of completion of the contract; and

c) the amount of profits expected to arise on other contracts which are not

treated as a single contract

Disclosures

The following disclosures to be made: -

a) the amount of contract revenue recognized during the period;

b) the method used to determine the contract revenue; and

c) the method used to determine the stage of completion;

The following further disclosures to be made for each contract in progress: -

a) the aggregate amount of costs incurred and recognized profits (less

recognized losses0 to date;

b) the amount of advances received; and

c) the amount of retentions

An entity shall present: -

a) the gross amount due from customers for contract work as asset, for all

contracts where costs incurred plus profit recognized (loss) exceeds the

progress billings

(costs incurred to date plus recognized profit less the sum of recognized losses

and progress billings)

b) the gross amount due to customers for contract work as liability for all

contracts where the progress billings exceeds costs incurred plus profit

recognized (loss)

(costs incurred to date plus recognized profit less the sum of recognized losses

and progress billings)

Linnet has received progress payments of 90% of the work certified at 29 February

2004. Linnet’s surveyor has estimated the sales value of the further work completed

during March 2004 was Rs.20 million.

At 31 March 2004 the estimated remaining costs to complete the contract were

Rs.45 million.

The rectification costs are the costs incurred in widening access roads to the

stadium. This was the result of an error by Linnet’s architect when he made his initial

drawings.

Linnet calculates the percentage of completion of its contracts as the proportion of

sales value earned to date compared to the contract price. All estimates can be

taken as being reliable. Required:

Prepare extracts of the financial statements for Linnet for the above contract for the

year to 31 March 2004?

Q.6

Mughals Limited, a firm of civil contractors, specializes in construction of highways.

They entered into a contract with the National Highway Authority (NHA) in the year

2003 for construction of National Highway covering 1500 kilometers and having 6

lanes. However, it was agreed that work shall commence on February 1, 2004. The

agreed price was Rs.3.6 billion. The company closes its accounts on May 31.

On February 1, 2005 the NHA requested the company for extending the highway by

adding two further lanes. NHA was of the view that the price of this extension shall

be in the same proportion i.e. Rs. 1.2 billion, as there has been no significant increase

in costs since the signing of the contract in 2003. However Mughals Limited refused

to accept this price. Their board of directors was of the view that their company was

in a position to sign another contract if they forego the offer by NHA. After extensive

negotiations, the price of the extended work was agreed at Rs. 1.6 billion. It was also

agreed that the work on additional lanes will be carried out simultaneously and will

be completed on November 30, 2006.

The following data is available in respect of the above contract:

Q.9

Kamal Associates won first contract of the financial year on April 1, 2001 for

destruction of a group of ten buildings of similar size and technical specification for a

price of Rs 2 million. The work was to be completed within six months of an award of

the contract failing that a penalty of 6% per annum of the contract price would be

paid to the customer for the delay.

Following information was available as at June 30, 2001; the date on which Kamal

Associates close their financial year. On that date five buildings were demolished.

Site labor Rs 200,000; site supervision Rs 150,000; material used Rs 250,000;

depreciation on plant used at site Rs 100,000; general and administration costs Rs

50,000; research and development costs Rs 25,000; selling costs Rs 25,000: Other

construction overheads Rs 200,000.

The management of Kamal Associates compared above information with budgeted

cost of the contract and was satisfied with performance except that it would require

i) Progress payments received are Rs.180 million. This is 90% of the work certified

(at 29 February 2004), therefore the work certified at that date was Rs.200

million. The value of the further work completed in March 2004 is given as

Rs.20 million, giving a total value of contract sales at 31 March 2004 of

Rs.220 million.

ii) the total estimated profit (excluding rectification costs) is Rs.60 million:

Rs. million

Contract price 300

Cost to date (195)

Estimated cost to complete (45)

Estimated total profit 60

The degree of completion (by the method given in the question) is 220/300

Therefore the profit to date (before rectification costs) is Rs.44 million (Rs.60 million ×

220/300). Rectification costs must be charged to the period they were incurred and

not spread over the remainder of the contract life. Therefore after rectification costs

of Rs.17 million the total reported contract profit to 31 March 2004 would be Rs.27

million. With contract revenue of Rs.220 million and profit to date of Rs.44 million, this

means contract costs (excluding rectification costs) would be Rs.176 million. The

difference between this figure and total cost incurred of Rs.195 million is part of the

Rs.59 million of the amounts due from customers shown in the balance sheet.

(i) Incentive payments are included in contract revenue when:

� The contract is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the

specified performance standards will be met or exceeded; and

� The amount of the incentive payment can be measured reliably.

Since the Contract IV is in advance stage and the probability to

achieve the target is very high, the company should recognize the

incentive payment to be received, on this contract.

(ii) Claims are recorded in contract revenue only when:

• Negotiations have reached an advanced stage such that it is

Page 20: Chapter 19 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11)€¦ · Page 1 of 23 Chapter 19 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (IAS –11) Objective This objective of this IAS is to provide accounting treatment

Page 20 of 23

probable that the customer will accept the claim; and

• The amount that it is probable will be accepted by the customer

can be measured reliably.

Since the claim amount cannot be measured reliably, the claim should not be

recognized as contract revenue.
