(2)On 17 December 2003 the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) published revised International Accounting Standard (IAS) 32 Financial instruments: disclosure and presentation as part of the IASB’s initiative to improve 15 standards in time for them to be used by companies adopting IAS for the first time in 2005. In revising IAS 32, the IASB did not reconsider the fundamental approaches contained in it. IAS 32 establishes basic principles for the classification of instruments as liabilities or equity. In determining whether the instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity, the entity must consider all of the terms and conditions of the respective contract.
