Concept Guidance:
This is the value, as at the relevant date, of bought equity call options, consistent with the classification and measurement basis used for derivatives by institutions in accordance with accounting standards.A bought call option is a call option that has been purchased by an entity. It provides the purchasing entity with the right but not the obligation to pay or receive a specific amount of money based on  a pre-agreed price, on or before a specific future date.An equity contract is any contract that at least partly transfers the equity risk of an underlying equity security from one party to another.Derivatives are generally defined as those instruments/contracts, where the value is based on other products, and/or on prices associated with financial products. Derivative contracts involve:- Future delivery, receipt or exchange of financial items such as cash or another derivative instrument; or- Future exchange of real assets for financial items where the contract may be tradeable and has a market value.The contracts can either be binding on both parties (e.g. as with a currency swap) or subject to the exercise by one party of a right contained within the contract (as with options).Report this item regardless of whether favourable or unfavourable to the reporting entity.
