    Sir, i did some research on the classification of financial instruments as debt. The key criteria is the ‘contractual obligation’ of course, but i came across two distinct examples which i need some clarifications on. Among other things, a financial liability can be any of these two examples:

    1) A derivative contract that may be settled by a fixed amount of the issuing entity’s own equity instruments.

    2) A non derivative contract that may be settled by a variable amount of the issuing entity’s own equity instruments.

    What bases was used here to validate classification as debt?
    Kindly clarify sir.

    I can only assume that it gives rise to an obligation and hence meet the definition of a liability. I’ve never really given much thought to these two in all honesty.
