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. In making the assessment, the Credit Union considers: • contingent events that would change the amount and timing of cash flows; • leverage features; • prepayment and extension terms; • terms that limit the Credit Union’s claim to cash flows from specified assets; and • features that modify consideration of the time value of money (e.g. periodical reset of interest rates). Applicability to the Credit Union The Credit Union classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories: • Amortised cost • Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) • Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Financial assets measured at amortised cost The Credit Union’s non-derivative financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, sovereign debt securities, loans and advances, other assets and due from related companies. The Credit Union measures these assets at amortised cost as its business model is to hold them to collect contractual cash flows. Its contractual terms also gives rise to the receipt of principal and interest on specified dates. These financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Credit Union changes its business model for managing these financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at FVOCI The Credit Union’s non-derivative financial assets measured at FVOCI comprise equity securities. The Credit Union measures these assets at FVOCI as these equity investments are not held for trading and the Credit Union has irrevocably elected to present subsequent changes in the investments’ fair value in OCI. These assets are measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Reclassifications Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Credit Union changes its business model for managing financial assets.
