Defined benefit plan This amount totalling $(151,640) (2022 - $2,619,950) represents the net amount of actuarial gains and losses and other items recognised directly in other comprehensive income on the Group’s defined benefit plan. (Note 15) Reserve for interest on non-performing loans This amount totalling $8,536,042 (2022 - $6,255,697) is created to set aside interest accrued on non-performing loans where certain conditions are met in accordance with IFRS 9. The guidelines of Section 202 (2) of the Cooperative Societies Act Cap. 378A, however do not allow for the accrual of such interest. The interest is therefore set aside in a reserve and is not available for distribution to members.
