INVESTOR CLASSIFICATION — IFRS 9

For sukuk held by investors, apply the IFRS 9 two-step classification:

Step 1 — Business Model Test

**Held-to-collect (HTC):** Investor holds sukuk to collect contractual cash flows. → If SPPI test also passed: Amortised Cost

**Held-to-collect-and-sell (HTCS):** Investor collects cash flows but also sells. → If SPPI test also passed: Fair Value through OCI (FVOCI, debt instrument)

**Other:** Trading, short-term, managed on fair value basis. → FVTPL regardless of SPPI test

Step 2 — SPPI Test (Solely Payments of Principal and Interest)

The sukuk cash flows must represent SOLELY:

• Repayment of principal (the face value / initial investment)
• A return consistent with a basic lending arrangement (compensation for time value of

money, credit risk, and basic lending costs)

**SPPI PASS (typically leads to Amortised Cost or FVOCI):**

• Ijarah sukuk with fixed periodic distributions + fixed maturity redemption

→ Cash flows represent principal + fixed return → SPPI PASS

• Ijarah sukuk with floating rate tied to a benchmark (SOFR, KIBOR, etc.)

→ SPPI may pass if benchmark + spread is pure time-value-of-money compensation

• Government ijarah sukuk (GIS Pakistan, GII Malaysia)

→ Typically classified at amortised cost by Islamic banks in respective countries

**SPPI FAIL (requires FVTPL):**

• Musharakah sukuk: return depends on venture profit → not solely principal + return

→ SPPI FAILS → FVTPL classification

• Mudarabah sukuk: same as musharakah → SPPI FAILS → FVTPL
• Equity-linked sukuk: return depends on equity performance → SPPI FAILS
• Convertible sukuk: conversion feature creates equity kicker → SPPI FAILS

**PURCHASE UNDERTAKING EFFECT ON SPPI:** If the sukuk has a purchase undertaking at face value (common in ijarah sukuk): The maturity payment = face value regardless of asset value. This is economically similar to principal repayment on a loan. Most practitioners conclude: this does NOT cause SPPI failure. The undertaking ensures the investor receives what was contracted → consistent with lending.

INITIAL RECOGNITION

**Amortised Cost (ijarah sukuk, HTC, SPPI pass):** Dr: Investment in Sukuk — Amortised Cost [Fair value at acquisition = usually face value +/- premium/discount] Cr: Cash [Purchase price]

If acquired at premium or discount: carry the difference as unamortised premium/discount, amortise using effective profit rate over remaining life to bring to face value at maturity.

**FVOCI (ijarah sukuk, HTCS, SPPI pass):** Dr: Investment in Sukuk — FVOCI [Fair value at acquisition] Cr: Cash [Purchase price]

**FVTPL (musharakah / mudarabah sukuk, or other):** Dr: Investment in Sukuk — FVTPL [Fair value at acquisition] Cr: Cash [Purchase price]

---

PERIODIC INCOME RECOGNITION

**Amortised Cost:** Dr: Accrued Sukuk Income Receivable [Carrying value x effective profit rate / periods] Cr: Income from Sukuk — Amortised Cost [Same]

**FVOCI:** Same income accrual as amortised cost (effective profit rate on amortised cost). Plus period-end fair value remeasurement: Dr/Cr: Investment in Sukuk — FVOCI [Fair value change] Cr/Dr: OCI — Sukuk Fair Value Reserve [Same]

**FVTPL:** Dr/Cr: Investment in Sukuk — FVTPL [Fair value change] Cr/Dr: Gain/Loss on Sukuk — FVTPL (P&L) [Same] Plus any distributions received → income.

AAOIFI FAS 25 (BAHRAIN, QATAR)

AAOIFI FAS 25 classifies sukuk investments into:

• **Held-to-maturity** (similar to amortised cost)
• **Trading** (similar to FVTPL)
• **Available-for-sale** (similar to FVOCI)

Measurement: held-to-maturity at amortised cost; trading at fair value (P&L); AFS at fair value with changes in OCI.

Income labels under AAOIFI FAS 25: "Income from Sukuk Investments" or "Return on Sukuk" — NEVER "Interest Income."

---

IMPAIRMENT

**Amortised Cost and FVOCI:** Apply IFRS 9 ECL model. Sukuk ECL staging:

• Government sukuk (AAA/AA sovereign): Stage 1 only (12-month ECL, typically minimal)
• Investment grade corporate sukuk: Stage 1 or 2 depending on credit migration
• Sub-investment grade or distressed sukuk: Stage 3 (lifetime ECL)

ECL for sukuk is typically modelled using: PD (probability of default) x LGD (loss given default) x EAD (exposure at default)

Note: For GIS (Pakistan) and GII (Malaysia) — sovereign sukuk rated at sovereign level. Use sovereign rating as PD input.
