BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING CONVENTION (Continued) 2.1. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements (Continued) The accompanying financial statements pertain to the reporting period ended December 31, 2020. These financial statements were approved and adopted by the Bank’s Executive Board on February 25, 2021. These financial statements were prepared at historical cost principle, except for the measurement of the following significant balance sheet items: • financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI); and • derivative financial instruments stated at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of consideration paid in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Upon estimating the fair value of assets or liabilities, the Bank takes into account characteristics of assets or liabilities that other market participants would also consider upon determining the price of assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the accompanying financial statements was determined in the aforesaid manner, except for leasing transactions, which are in the scope of IAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as the net realizable value in IAS 2 or value in use in IAS 36. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. In the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Bank adhered to the accounting policies described in Note 3. Published standards and interpretations that have become effective in the current period are disclosed in Note 2.2, while new standards and amendments to existing standards that have been issued but are not yet in force are disclosed in Note 2.3. The Bank’s financial statements are stated in thousands of dinars unless it is otherwise stated. Dinar (RSD) is the official presentation currency in the Republic of Serbia. 2.2.
