Division 11A

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Notwithstanding paragraph 11, if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, an entity may designate the entire hybrid (combined) contract as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss unless:

  1. (a)

    the embedded derivative(s) does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or

  2. (b)

    it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar hybrid (combined) instrument is first considered that separation of the embedded derivative(s) is prohibited, such as a prepayment option embedded in a loan that permits the holder to prepay the loan for approximately its amortised cost.
