10: Introduction to IFRS 9 Debt Instrument Conditions for measurement at amortised cost: Business model test � Hold financial asset to collect contractual cash flows, rather than to sell the asset prior to contractual maturity; and Cash flow characteristics tests � Contractual terms of financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments must be measured at fair value through profit or loss (�FVTPL�).

14: Introduction to IFRS 9 Derivatives All derivatives, including those linked to unquoted equity investments, are measured at fair value. Embedded derivatives, previously separately accounted for at FVTPL under IAS 39, will no longer be separately accounted for under IFRS 9. Instead contractual cash flows are assessed in their entirety, and the financial asset is measured at FVTPL as a whole if any cash flows do not represent payments of principal and interest.

15: Introduction to IFRS 9 Impact of IFRS 9 Ability to measure certain debt instruments (e.g. Government and Corporate Bonds) at amortised cost, which under IAS 39 would have been measured at fair value, due such bonds quoted in an active market. Hybrid financial assets with separated embedded derivatives at FVTPL, will instead be measured at FVTPL in their entirety.
