FVTOCI financial assets

(a) FVTOCI debt financial assets

Financial assets are classified as FVTOCI debt financial assets if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A change in fair value of FVTOCI debt financial assets except for impairment gain or loss and foreign exchange gain or loss is recognized as other comprehensive income until derecognition. Upon derecognition the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to consolidated statement of income.

(b) FVTOCI equity financial assets

Upon initial recognition, NIDEC may make an irrevocable election to present changes in the fair value of an investment in equity financial assets that is not held for trading as other comprehensive income.

FVTOCI equity financial assets are measured at fair value after initial recognition, and its change in fair value is recognized as other comprehensive income, which is immediately transferred directly to retained earnings from other components of equity. It does not flow through consolidated statement of income. However, dividends from such investments are recognized in consolidated statement of income as part of financial income.
