Non-Current Securities

I read somewhere that securities have to be valued at their market value (marked to market) unless management regards them as long-term investments, in which case they can be valued at their (discounted) maturity value. I think that's what is behind the shift of 193 million ARS to non-current.

Presumably the shift allows unrealized losses to be removed from the accounts. Would it allow the gain at maturity to be shown as an unrealized gain?
