FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />

62. If a reliable measure becomes available for a financial asset or financial<br />

liability for which such a measure was previously not available, <strong>and</strong> the asset<br />

or liability is required to be measured at fair value if a reliable measure is<br />

available (see paragraphs 48(c) <strong>and</strong> 49), the asset or liability shall be<br />

remeasured at fair value, <strong>and</strong> the difference between its carrying amount<br />

<strong>and</strong> fair value shall be accounted for in accordance with paragraph 64.<br />

63. If, as a result of a change in intention or ability or in the rare circumstance<br />

that a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available (see paragraphs<br />

48(c) <strong>and</strong> 49) or because the “two preceding financial years” referred to in<br />

paragraph 10 have passed, it becomes appropriate to carry a financial asset<br />

or financial liability at cost or amortized cost rather than at fair value, the<br />

fair value carrying amount of the financial asset or the financial liability on<br />

that date becomes its new cost or amortized cost, as applicable. Any previous<br />

gain or loss on that asset that has been recognized directly in net assets/equity<br />

in accordance with paragraph 64(b) shall be accounted for as follows:<br />

(a) In the case of a financial asset with a fixed maturity, the gain or loss<br />

shall be amortized to surplus or deficit over the remaining life of the<br />

held-to-maturity investment using the effective interest method. Any<br />

difference between the new amortized cost <strong>and</strong> maturity amount shall<br />

also be amortized over the remaining life of the financial asset using<br />

the effective interest method, similar to the amortization of a premium<br />

<strong>and</strong> a discount. If the financial asset is subsequently impaired, any<br />

gain or loss that has been recognized directly in net assets/equity is<br />

recognized in surplus or deficit in accordance with paragraph 76.<br />

(b) In the case of a financial asset that does not have a fixed maturity, the<br />

gain or loss shall remain in net assets/equity until the financial asset is<br />

sold or otherwise disposed of, when it shall be recognized in surplus or<br />

deficit. If the financial asset is subsequently impaired any previous<br />

gain or loss that has been recognized directly in net assets/equity is<br />

recognized in surplus or deficit in accordance with paragraph 76.<br />

Gains <strong>and</strong> Losses<br />

64. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or<br />

financial liability that is not part of a hedging relationship (see paragraphs<br />

99–113), shall be recognized, as follows.<br />

(a) A gain or loss on a financial asset or financial liability classified as at<br />

fair value through surplus or deficit shall be recognized in surplus or<br />

deficit.<br />

(b) A gain or loss on an available-for-sale financial asset shall be<br />

recognized directly in net assets/equity through the statement of<br />

changes in net assets/equity (see IPSAS 1, except for impairment losses<br />

(see paragraphs 76–79) <strong>and</strong> foreign exchange gains <strong>and</strong> losses (see<br />
