11.4 Classification of financial instruments
11.4.1 Extract from FRS 102 Section 11.6 and 11.8

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) options, rights, warrants, futures contracts, forward contracts and interest rate swaps that can be settled in cash or by exchanging another financial instrument;

(c) financial instruments that qualify and are designated as hedging instruments in accordance with the requirements in Section 12; and

(d) commitments to make a loan to another entity and commitments to receive a loan, if the commitment can be settled net in cash.

11.8 An entity shall account for the following financial instruments as basic financial instruments in accordance with Section 11:

(a) cash;

(b)   a debt instrument (such as an account, note, or loan receivable or payable) that meets the conditions in paragraph 11.9 and is not a financial instrument described in paragraph 11.6(b);

(c)   commitments to receive or make a loan to another entity that:

(i) cannot be settled net in cash; and

(ii) when the commitment is executed, are expected to meet the conditions in paragraph 11.9; and

(iii) an investment in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares

11.4.2.1 Debt Instruments

11.4.2.2 – Investment in Shares

An investment in shares which is less than 20% (i.e. where significant influence is not achieved) which has no puttable or convertible rights attaching to the shares should be accounted for under Section 11. For example, an investment of 10% in a certain type of restricted share, shares which can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder would not come within the definition of basic and therefore would be accounted for in accordance with Section 12.

An entity has an investment in non-puttable shares if:
