| 11.3 | A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. |
| 11.4 | [Deleted] |
| 11.5 | Basic financial instruments within the scope of Section 11 are those that satisfy the conditions in paragraph 11.8. Examples of financial instruments that normally satisfy those conditions include: |
| (a) | cash; |
| (b) | demand and fixed-term deposits when the entity is the depositor, eg bank accounts; |
| (c) | commercial paper and commercial bills held; |
| (d) | accounts, notes and loans receivable and payable; |
| (e) | bonds and similar debt instruments; |
| (f) | investments in non-derivative financial instruments that are equity of the issuer (eg most ordinary shares and certain preference shares); and [AMD 288] |
| (g) | commitments to receive a loan and commitments to make a loan to another entity that meet the conditions of paragraph 11.8(c). |
| 11.6 | Examples of financial instruments that do not normally satisfy the conditions in paragraph 11.8, and are therefore within the scope of Section 12, include: |
| (a) | asset-backed securities, such as collateralised mortgage obligations, repurchase agreements and securitised packages of receivables; |
| (b) | derivatives, eg options, rights, warrants, futures contracts, forward contracts and interest rate swaps; [AMD 289] |
| (c) | financial instruments that qualify and are designated as hedging instruments in accordance with the requirements in Section 12; and [AMD 3] |
| (d) | commitments to make a loan to another entity and commitments to receive a loan, if the commitment can be settled net in cash. |
| (e) | [deleted] |
| 11.6A | The initial classification of a financial instrument shall take into account the contractual terms including those relating to future variations. Once the classification of a financial instrument is determined at initial recognition, re-assessment is only required subsequently when there has been a modification of contractual terms that is relevant to an assessment of the classification.
