Explanation:

When the investments available for sale are reclassified to investments to hold until maturity, the rules on valuation and accounting of the latter must be observed. Consequently, unrealized gains or losses, which are recognized in the ORI, must be canceled against the registered value of the investment, since the effect of the fair value will no longer be realized, given the reclassification decision to the category to hold until expiration. In this way the investment must be recorded as if it had always been classified in the category to hold until maturity. Likewise, as of that date the investment must be valued under the same conditions of Internal Rate of Return of the day prior to reclassification.
