ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 2.8 Significant accounting policies (Cont’d) (n) Financial instruments – Initial recognition and subsequent measurement (Cont’d) (viii) Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test Assessment of whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin. In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. (ix) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value with net changes in fair value presented at other operating income in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. (x) Deposit from customers and other borrowed funds Financial instruments issued by the Group that are not held for trading or designated at FVTPL, are classified as liabilities as either deposit from customers or other borrowed funds, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. After initial measurement, deposit from customers and other borrowed funds are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. (o) Financial instruments – Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities (i) Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired. The Group also derecognises the assets if it has both transferred the asset, and the transfer qualifies for derecognition. The Group has transferred the asset if, and only if, either it has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset or it retains the rights to the cash flow. It retains the rights to the cash flows but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement. Pass-through arrangements are transactions when the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the ‘original asset’), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual recipients’), when all of the following three conditions are met: • t he Group has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances by the entity with the right of full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates • t he Group cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients for the obligation to pay them cash flows • t he Group has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Group is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents during the short settlement period from the collection date to the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients, and interest earned on such investments is passed to the eventual recipients.
