Reclassification of financial assets (section 4.4)<br />
B4.4.1 Paragraph 4.4.1 requires an entity <strong>to</strong> reclassify financial assets if the objective of<br />
the entity’s business model for managing those financial assets changes. Such<br />
changes are expected <strong>to</strong> be very infrequent. Such changes must be determined<br />

parties. Examples of a change in business model include the following:<br />

<strong>Measurement</strong> (chapter 5)<br />
Initial measurement (section 5.1)<br />
B5.1.1 The fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the<br />
transaction price (ie the fair value of the consideration given or received, see also<br />
paragraph B5.1.2A <strong>and</strong> <strong>IFRS</strong> 13). However, if part of the consideration given or<br />
received is for something other than the financial instrument, an entity shall<br />
measure the fair value of the financial instrument <strong>and</strong> classify the financial<br />
instrument in accordance with paragraph 4.1.1. For example, the fair value of a<br />
long-term loan or receivable that carries no interest can be measured as the<br />
present value of all future cash receipts discounted using the prevailing market<br />
rate(s) of interest for a similar instrument (similar as <strong>to</strong> currency, term, type of<br />
interest rate <strong>and</strong> other fac<strong>to</strong>rs) with a similar credit rating. Any additional<br />
amount lent is an expense or a reduction of income unless it qualifies for<br />
recognition as some other type of asset.<br />
