☞ Deposits received for future subscription of shares that are
repayable in cash at any time prior to the issuance of the
subscribed shares are classified as liability. Since the SEC’s
decision is expected to be received in 20x2, the deposit liability
is classified as current in the 20x1 financial statements. If the
SEC approves Poof Co.’s increased capitalization, the liability
is reverted back to “Subscribed Capital” (and, if appropriate,
‘Share premium’). When the shares are issued, the
“Subscribed Capital” is reclassified to “Share Capital.”
☞ The bank loan is classified as noncurrent because Poof Co. has
the has the right, at the end of the reporting period, to roll
over the obligation for at least twelve months after the
reporting period under an existing loan facility (i.e., the
original loan contract provides for the option to extend the loan and,
as of Dec. 31, 20x2, Poof Co. has complied with all the conditions
relating to the extension.)

The purchase return is adjusted only to the accounts
payable, and not to the inventory, because the inventory balance
was determined based on the physical count on Dec. 31, 20x1,
which necessarily already excludes the return which was made on
Dec. 29, 20x1.

The unredeemed portion of ₱8,000 (120K – 112K) from prior year
has expired during 20x1 because the problem states that the gift
certificates sold expire within one year. Accordingly, this amount is
recognized as breakage revenue (and as reduction in liability) in 20x1.

(a)
“An entity classifies its financial liabilities as current when they are
due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period,
even if:
a) the original term was for a period longer than twelve months, and
b) an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a
long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and
before the financial statements are authorised for issue.” (PAS
1.72)
(b)
“When an entity breaches a provision of a long-term loan
arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the
effect that the liability becomes payable on demand, it classifies the
liability as current, even if the lender agreed, after the reporting
period and before the authorisation of the financial statements for
issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach. An
entity classifies the liability as current because, at the end of the
reporting period, it does not have a right to defer its settlement for at
least twelve months after that date.” (PAS 1.74)

Dividend payable is recognized when the entity declares the
dividends (or when the declaration is approved by a relevant
authority, if such approval is required).
The dividends declared (in the problem) are recognized
only on Jan. 7, 20x2 (assuming it is not subject to further
approval). The dividends are only disclosed in the 20x1 financial
statements as a non-adjusting event after the reporting period.
