1. Cash; or


2. An equity instrument of another entity; or


3. A contractual right to:
  • Receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or
  • Exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the reporting entity; or


4. A contract that will or may be settled in the reporting entity's own equity instruments and is either:
