NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2024 (CURRENCY – SINGAPORE DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) C15 Classification and fair value of financial instruments (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) (a) Non-derivative financial assets and liabilities (continued) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued) Assessment of whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest For assessment purposes, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin. In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers contingent events, leverage features, modifications of the time value of money and other limiting terms in the contractual terms of the instrument, which changes the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that the cash flows of the instrument would not be reflective of solely payments of principal and interest. Reclassifications Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Group changes its business model for managing those financial assets. Financial liabilities The Group classifies its financial liabilities, other than financial guarantees and loan commitments, as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. Derecognition Financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Financial liabilities The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired. 201 CORPORATE OVERVIEW PERFORMANCE REVIEW SUSTAINABILITY FINANCIAL REPORT
