11.7 Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets (including debt instruments) are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both the following conditions are met:

• financial assets are held in the business model whose purpose is to collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets; and
• the terms and conditions of an agreement concerning the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding (the SPPI test is passed).

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. The effects of adjustments to the fair value of those financial assets until their derecognition or reclassification are recognized in other comprehensive income, with the exception of interest income, gains or losses in respect of impairment allowances for expected credit losses and foreign exchange gains or losses recognized in the income statement. The gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income constitutes the difference between the fair value of a financial asset as at the measurement date and the value of the asset at amortized cost.

If a financial asset is no longer recognized, the accumulated profit or loss, which was previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is reclassified from other comprehensive income to financial profit or loss in the form of a reclassification adjustment.
