FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />

carrying amount of the financial asset <strong>and</strong> the present value of estimated<br />

future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a<br />

similar financial asset (see paragraph 48(c) <strong>and</strong> Appendix A paragraphs<br />

AG113 <strong>and</strong> AG114). Such impairment losses shall not be reversed.<br />

Available-For-Sale Financial Assets<br />

76. When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has<br />

been recognized directly in net assets/equity <strong>and</strong> there is objective evidence<br />

that the asset is impaired (see paragraph 68), the cumulative loss that had<br />

been recognized directly in net assets/equity shall be removed from net<br />

assets/equity <strong>and</strong> recognized in surplus or deficit even though the financial<br />

asset has not been derecognized.<br />

77. The amount of the cumulative loss that is removed from net assets/equity <strong>and</strong><br />

recognized in surplus or deficit under paragraph 76 shall be the difference<br />

between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment <strong>and</strong><br />

amortization) <strong>and</strong> current fair value, less any impairment loss on that<br />

financial asset previously recognized in surplus or deficit.<br />

78. Impairment losses recognized in surplus or deficit for an investment in an<br />

equity instrument classified as available for sale shall not be reversed<br />

through surplus or deficit.<br />

79. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as<br />

available for sale increases <strong>and</strong> the increase can be objectively related to an<br />

event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in surplus or<br />

deficit, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal<br />

recognized in surplus or deficit.<br />

Hedging<br />

80. If there is a designated hedging relationship between a hedging instrument<br />

<strong>and</strong> a hedged item as described in paragraphs 95–98 <strong>and</strong> Appendix A<br />

paragraphs AG142–AG144, accounting for the gain or loss on the hedging<br />

instrument <strong>and</strong> the hedged item shall follow paragraphs 99–113.<br />

Hedging Instruments<br />

Qualifying Instruments<br />

81. This St<strong>and</strong>ard does not restrict the circumstances in which a derivative may be<br />

designated as a hedging instrument provided the conditions in paragraph 98 are<br />

met, except for some written options (see Appendix A paragraph AG127).<br />

However, a non-derivative financial asset or non-derivative financial liability may<br />

be designated as a hedging instrument only for a hedge of a foreign currency risk.<br />

82. For hedge accounting purposes, only <strong>instruments</strong> that involve a party external to<br />

the reporting entity (i.e., external to the economic entity or individual entity that is<br />
