187 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2025 06 / FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 01 02 03 04 05 07 08 09 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 3.4 Material accounting policy information (cont’d.) (g) Financial assets and liabilities (cont’d.) (i) Financial assets at amortised cost (cont’d.) The details of these conditions are outlined below: (1) Business model assessment The Group and the Bank determine their business model at the level that best reflects how they manage groups of financial assets to achieve their business objectives. The Group’s and the Bank’s business model is not assessed on an instrument-by-instrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as: • How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the key entity’s management personnel; • The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed; • How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected); and • The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Group’s and of the Bank’s assessment. The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking ‘worst case’ or ‘stress case’ scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Group’s and the Bank’s original expectations, the Group and the Bank do not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward, unless it has been determined that there has been a change in the original business model.
