Panama Group

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements

 

4.

Revenue, page F-167

 

4.

We note your response to prior comment 32. A significant portion of the Panama Group’s revenues are recognized over time. Please further explain how the timing of satisfaction of your performance obligations, including but not limited to depth credits, relates to the typical timing of payment and the effect that those factors have on the contract asset and the contract liability balances. Refer to paragraph 117-118 of IFRS 15.

In response to the Staff’s comment on paragraph 117 of IFRS 15, Note 2.17 (h)(i) Trade Receivables and Note 2.17 (h)(ii) Contract liabilities of the Panama Group’s financial statements have been updated on pages F-163 to F-164 of Amendment No. 1 to explain how the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations relates to the typical timing of payment and the effects which results in either a trade receivable or contract liability.

For subscription services, depth credits and media advertising revenue streams, the Panama Group has the right to bill its customers at the inception of the contracts which results in contract liabilities. In certain cases where a credit period is granted, a trade receivable is recognized at the same time a contract liability is recognized (i.e. subscription services to property developers).

For other revenue streams such as events, review services revenue and management services revenue, the Panama Group invoices upon provisioning of services which results in the recognition of trade receivables.

The market comparison report revenue stream does not result in any contract balance as the payment is received when the services are performed.

As a result of the right to bill at inception of the contract, upon provisioning of the services or receipt of payment when the services are performed, the Panama Group does not have any contract assets.

Contract liabilities arising from the subscription, depth credit and media advertising revenue streams are for periods of one year or less and all contract liabilities at the end of the financial year, will be recognized in the following financial year. This is disclosed in Note 4. Revenue in F-168.

In response to the Staff’s comment on Paragraph 118 of IFRS 15, the Panama Group’s financial statements have been updated on pages F-168 to F-169 of Amendment No. 1 to include an explanation of the changes in contract liability in Note 4. Revenue.
