Subordinated obligations of forced conversion to equity

The subordinated obligations of forced conversion to equity that the entity issues and are acquired directly or through a trust by those entities that maintain direct or indirect participation in the capital of the entity itself, must be registered as a liability.

The amortization of the premium, the discount, as well as the issuance expenses of both those subordinated obligations of forced conversion to equity classified as liability in the terms of Bulletin C-9, as well as those indicated in the previous paragraph, must be recognized in the results of the exercise as an interest expense or income.

Likewise, the present value of the minimum payments will be substantially equal to the market value of the leased asset, if said present value constitutes at least 90% of that value.

Operating leases

Accounting for the lessee

For presentation purposes, the lessee must include in the balance sheet the lease liability as part of the item of various creditors and other accounts payable, and in the statement of results the lease expense in the item of administration and promotion expenses.

D-6

Capitalization of comprehensive financing result

For the purposes of this NIF, Comprehensive Financing Result (RIF) will be understood as the following concepts: a) interest; b) result from monetary position, c) gain or loss on changes and d) the other costs associated with what is referred to in NIF D-6.
