AL-SALAM REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2019

(iii) Measurement At initial recognition, the Group and the Fund measure a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s and the Fund’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group and the Fund classify their debt instruments: (a) Amortised cost Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent SPPI are measured at amortised cost. Profit income from these financial assets is included in investment revenue using the effective profit rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other income/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in profit or loss. (b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent SPPI, are measured at FVTOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, profit income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other income/(losses). Profit income from these financial assets is included in investment revenue using the effective profit rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other income/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognised in other income/(losses) in profit or loss as applicable. (c) Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”) Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. The Group and the Fund may also irrevocably designate financial assets at FVTPL if doing so significantly reduces or eliminates a mismatch created by assets and liabilities being measured on different bases. Fair value changes is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other income/(losses) in the period which it arises. Equity instruments The Group and the Fund subsequently measure all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s and the Fund’s management have elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s and the Fund’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognised in other income/(losses) in profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. Impairment of financial assets The Group and the Fund assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.
