2. Institutions that use national accounting standards compatible with IFRS (“compatible national GAAP”) shall apply the common and IFRS instructions in this Annex, unless otherwise provided. This is without prejudice to the compliance of the compatible national GAAP requirements with the requirements of BAD. Institutions that use national GAAP requirements that are non-compatible with IFRS or that have not yet been made compatible with the requirements in IFRS 9 shall apply the common and BAD instructions in this Annex, unless provided otherwise.

3. The data points identified in the templates shall be drawn up in accordance with the recognition, offsetting and valuation rules of the relevant accounting framework, as defined in point (77) of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

4. An institution shall only submit those parts of the templates relating to:

(a)

assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses that are recognised by the institution;

(b)

off-balance sheet exposures and activities in which the institution is involved;

2. CONVENTIONS

6. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV, a data point shadowed in grey shall mean that that data point is not requested or that it is not possible to report it. In Annex IV, a row or a column with references shadowed in black shall mean that the related data points shall not be submitted by those institutions that follow those references in that row or column.

7. Templates in Annexes III and IV include implicit validation rules which are laid down in the templates themselves through the use of conventions.

8. The use of brackets in the label of an item in a template means that this item is to be subtracted to obtain a total, but it does not mean that it shall be reported as negative.

9. Items that shall be reported in negative are identified in the compiling templates by including “(-)” at the beginning of their label such as in “(-) Treasury shares”.

10. In the “Data Point Model” (“DPM”) for financial information reporting templates of Annexes III and IV, every data point (cell) has a “base item” to which the “credit/debit” attribute is allocated. That allocation ensures that all entities that report data points follow the “sign convention” and allows to know the “credit/debit” attribute that corresponds to each data point.

11. Schematically, this convention works as in Table 1.

Table 1

3. CONSOLIDATION

12. Unless specified otherwise in this Annex, FINREP templates shall be prepared using the prudential scope of consolidation in accordance with Section 2 of Chapter 2 of Title II of Part 1 CRR. Institutions shall account for their subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates using the same methods as for prudential consolidation:

(a)

institutions may be permitted or required to apply the equity method to investments in insurance and non-financial subsidiaries in accordance with Article 18(5)CRR;

(b)

institutions may be permitted to use the proportional consolidation method for financial subsidiaries in accordance with Article 18(2) CRR;

(c)

institutions may be required to use the proportional consolidation method for investment in joint ventures in accordance with Article 18(4) CRR.

4. ACCOUNTING PORTFOLIOS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

13. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV as well as this Annex, “accounting portfolios” means financial instruments aggregated by valuation rules. Those aggregations shall not include investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, balances receivable on demand classified as “Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits”, nor financial instruments classified as “Held for sale” presented in the items “Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale” and “Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale”.

14. Under national GAAP, institutions that are permitted or required to apply certain valuation rules for financial instruments in accordance with IFRS shall submit, to the extent that those rules are applied, the relevant IFRS accounting portfolios. Where the valuation rules for financial instruments that institutions are permitted or required to use under national GAAP based on BAD do refer to the valuation rules in IAS 39, institutions shall submit the accounting portfolios based on BAD for all their financial instruments until the valuation rules they apply refer to the valuation rules in IFRS 9.

4.1. Financial assets

15. The following accounting portfolios based on IFRS shall be used for financial assets:

(a)

“Financial assets held for trading”;

(b)

“Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”;

(c)

“Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss”;

(d)

“Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”;

(e)

“Financial assets at amortised cost”.

16. The following accounting portfolios based on national GAAP shall be used for financial assets:

(a)

“Trading financial assets”;

(b)

“Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss”;

(c)

“Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value to equity”;

(d)

“Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at a cost-based method”;

(e)

“Other non-trading non-derivative financial assets”.

17. “Trading financial assets” includes all financial assets classified as trading under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD. Irrespective of the measurement methodology applied under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD, all derivatives with a positive balance for the reporting institution that are not classified as hedge accounting in accordance with paragraph 22 of this Part shall be reported as trading financial assets. That classification shall also apply to derivatives which according to national GAAP based on BAD are not recognised on the balance-sheet, or have only the changes in their fair value recognised on-balance sheet or which are used as economic hedges as defined in paragraph 137 of Part 2 of this Annex.

18. Under national GAAP based on BAD, for financial assets, “cost-based methods” shall include those valuation rules by which the debt instrument is measured at cost plus interest accrued less impairment losses.

19. Under national GAAP based on BAD, “Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at a cost-based method” includes financial instruments measured at cost-based methods as well as instruments measured at the lower of cost or market (“LOCOM”) under a non-continuous basis (moderate LOCOM), regardless of their actual measurement as of the reporting reference date. Assets measured at moderate LOCOM are assets for which LOCOM is applied only in specific circumstances. The applicable accounting framework provides for those circumstances, such as impairment, a prolonged decline in fair value compared to cost or change in the management intent.

20. Under national GAAP based on BAD, “Other non-trading non-derivative financial assets” shall include financial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in other accounting portfolios. That accounting portfolio includes, among others, financial assets that are measured at LOCOM on a continuous basis (“strict LOCOM”). Assets measured at strict LOCOM are assets for which the applicable accounting framework either provides for the initial and subsequent measurement at LOCOM, or the initial measurement at cost and the subsequent measurement at LOCOM.

21. Regardless of their measurement method, investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates that are not fully or proportionally consolidated under the regulatory scope of consolidation are reported in “Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates”, except where they are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5.

22. “Derivatives – Hedge accounting” shall include derivatives with a positive balance for the reporting institution held for hedge accounting under IFRS. Under national GAAP based on BAD, banking book derivatives shall be classified as derivatives held for hedge accounting only where there are special accounting rules for banking book derivatives under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD and the derivatives reduce risk of another position in the banking book.

4.2. Financial liabilities

23. The following accounting portfolios based on IFRS shall be used for financial liabilities:

(a)

“Financial liabilities held for trading”;

(b)

“Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss”;

(c)

“Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost”.

24. The following accounting portfolios based on national GAAP shall be used for financial liabilities:

(a)

“Trading financial liabilities”;

(b)

“Non-trading non-derivative financial liabilities measured at a cost-based method”.

25. “Trading financial liabilities” includes all financial liabilities classified as trading under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD. Irrespective of the measurement methodology applied under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD, all derivatives with a negative balance for the reporting institution that are not classified as hedge accounting in accordance with paragraph 26 of this Part shall be reported as trading financial liabilities. That classification shall also apply to derivatives which according to national GAAP based on BAD are not recognised on the balance-sheet, or have only the changes in their fair value recognised on-balance sheet or which are used as economic hedges as defined in paragraph 137 of Part 2 of this Annex.

26. “Derivatives – Hedge accounting” shall include derivatives with a negative balance for the reporting institution held for hedge accounting under IFRS. Under national GAAP based on BAD, banking book derivatives shall be classified as hedge accounting only if there are special accounting rules for banking book derivatives under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD and the derivatives reduce risk of another position in the banking book.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

27. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV as well as this Annex, “the carrying amount” means the amount to be reported in the balance sheet. The carrying amount of financial instruments shall include accrued interest. Under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD, the carrying amount of derivatives either shall be the carrying amount under national GAAP including accruals, premium values and provisions if applicable, or it shall be equal to zero where derivatives are not recognised on-balance sheet.

28. If recognised under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD, accruals and deferrals of financial instruments including interest accrual, premiums and discounts or transaction costs shall be reported together with the instrument and not as other assets or other liabilities.

29. Where applicable under national GAAP based on BAD, “Haircuts for trading positions valued at fair value” shall be reported. The haircuts decrease the value of trading assets and increase the value of trading liabilities.

5.1. Financial assets

30. Financial assets shall be distributed among the following classes of instruments: “Cash on hand”, “Derivatives”, “Equity instruments”, “Debt securities” and “Loans and advances”.

31. “Debt securities” are debt instruments held by the institution issued as securities that are not loans, as defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation.

32. “Loans and advances” are debt instruments held by the institutions that are not securities. That item includes loans as defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation as well as advances that cannot be classified as “loans” defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation. “Advances that are not loans” are further characterized in paragraph 85(g) of Part 2 of this Annex.

33. In FINREP, “debt instruments” shall include “loans and advances” and “debt securities”.

5.2. Gross carrying amount

34. Gross carrying amount of debt instruments shall have the following meaning:

(a)

under IFRS and national GAAP based on BAD for debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss without being included in the held for trading or trading portfolio, the gross carrying amount shall depend on whether those debt instruments are classified as performing or non-performing. For performing debt instruments, the gross carrying amount shall be the fair value. For non-performing debt instruments, the gross carrying amount shall be the fair value after adding back any accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk, as defined in paragraph 69 of Part 2 of this Annex. For the purposes of the measurement of the gross carrying amount, the valuation of the debt instruments shall be performed on the level of single financial instruments;

(b)

under IFRS for debt instruments at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, the gross carrying amount shall be the carrying amount before adjusting for any loss allowance;

(c)

under national GAAP based on BAD, for debt instruments classified as “non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at a cost-based method”, the gross carrying amount of impaired assets shall be equal to the carrying amount before adjusting for specific allowances for credit risk. The gross carrying amount of unimpaired assets shall be the carrying amount before adjusting for general allowances for credit risk and general allowances for banking risk, where affecting the carrying amount;

(d)

under national GAAP based on BAD, the gross carrying amount of debt instruments classified as “Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value to equity” shall depend on whether those financial assets are subject to impairment requirements. Where they are subject to impairment requirements, the gross carrying amount shall be the carrying amount before adjusting for any accumulated impairment, following the requirements in point (c) above for impaired and unimpaired assets, or any accumulated amount of fair value adjustment that is considered as impairment loss. When those financial assets are not subject to impairment requirements, the gross carrying amount of those financial assets shall be the fair value for performing exposures, and for non-performing exposures the fair value after adding back any accumulated negative fair value adjustment due to credit risk;

(e)

under national GAAP based on BAD, the gross carrying amount of debt instruments measured at strict or moderate LOCOM shall be the cost where measured at cost during the reporting reference period. Where those debt instruments are measured at market value, the gross carrying amount shall be the market value before adjusting for credit-risk induced value adjustments;

(f)

under national GAAP based on BAD, for debt instruments reported under “Other non-trading non-derivative financial assets” under measurement methods other than LOCOM, the gross carrying amount shall be the carrying amount before taking into account any valuation adjustment that qualifies as impairment;

(g)

for trading financial assets under GAAP based on BAD or held for trading financial assets under IFRS, the gross carrying amount shall be the fair value. Where GAAP based on BAD require haircuts on trading and fair valued instruments, the carrying amount of the financial instruments shall be the fair value before those haircuts.

5.3. Financial liabilities

35. Financial liabilities shall be distributed among the following classes of instruments: “Derivatives”, “Short positions”, “Deposits”, “Debt securities issued” and “Other financial liabilities”.

36. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV as well as this Annex, “deposits” shall be deposits as defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation.

37. “Debt securities issued” shall be debt instruments issued as securities by the institution that are not deposits, as defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation.

38. “Other financial liabilities” shall include all financial liabilities other than derivatives, short positions, deposits and debt securities issued.

39. Under IFRS, “Other financial liabilities” shall include financial guarantees given where they are measured either at fair value through profit or loss (IFRS 9.4.2.1(a)) or at the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortization (IFRS 9.4.2.1(c)(ii)). Loan commitments given shall be reported as “Other financial liabilities” where they are designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (IFRS 9.4.2.1(a)) or they are commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate (IFRS 9.2.3(c), IFRS 9.4.2.1(d)).

40. Where loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given are measured at fair value through profit or loss, any change in the fair value, including changes due to credit risk, shall be reported as “other financial liabilities” and not as provisions for “Commitments and guarantees given”.

41. “Other financial liabilities” shall also include dividends to be paid, amounts payable in respect of suspense and transit items, and amounts payable in respect of future settlements of transactions in securities or foreign exchange transactions where payables for transactions are recognised before the payment date.

6. COUNTERPARTY BREAKDOWN

42. Where a breakdown by counterparty is required the following counterparty sectors shall be used:

(a)

central banks;

(b)

general governments: central governments, state or regional governments, and local governments, including administrative bodies and non-commercial undertakings, but excluding public companies and private companies held by these administrations that have a commercial activity (which shall be reported under “credit institutions”, “other financial corporations” or “non-financial corporations” depending on their activity); social security funds; and international organisations, such as institutions of the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements;

(c)

credit institutions: any institution covered by the definition in point (1) of Article 4(1) CRR (“undertaking the business of which is to take deposits or other repayable funds from the public and to grant credits for its own account”) and multilateral development banks (MDBs);

(d)

other financial corporations: all financial corporations and quasi-corporations, other than credit institutions, such as investment firms, investment funds, insurance companies, pension funds, collective investment undertakings, and clearing houses as well as remaining financial intermediaries, financial auxiliaries and captive financial institutions and money lenders;

(e)

non-financial corporations (NFCs): corporations and quasi-corporations not engaged in financial intermediation but principally in the production of market goods and non-financial services, as defined in the Table of Part 3 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation;

(f)

households: individuals or groups of individuals as consumers and producers of goods and non-financial services exclusively for their own final consumption, and as producers of market goods and non-financial and financial services provided that their activities are not those of quasi-corporations. Non-profit institutions which serve households (“NPISH”) and which are principally engaged in the production of non-market goods and services intended for particular groups of households shall be included.

43. The counterparty sector allocation shall be based exclusively on the nature of the immediate counterparty. The classification of the exposures incurred jointly by more than one obligor shall be done on the basis of the characteristics of the obligor that was the more relevant, or determinant, for the institution to grant the exposure. Among other classifications, the distribution of jointly incurred exposures by counterparty sector, country of residence and NACE codes shall be driven by the characteristics of the more relevant or determinant obligor.

44. The immediate counterparties in the following transactions shall be:

(a)

for loans and advances, the immediate borrower. For trade receivables, the immediate borrower shall be the counterparty obliged to pay the receivables, except in transactions with recourse, where the immediate borrower shall be the transferor of receivables where the reporting institution does not acquire substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred receivables;

(b)

for debt securities and equity instruments, the issuer of the securities;

(c)

for deposits, the depositor;

(d)

for short positions, the counterparty of the securities borrowing transaction or reverse repurchase agreement;

(e)

for derivatives, the direct counterparty of the derivative contract. For centrally cleared OTC derivatives, the direct counterparty shall be the clearing house acting as a central counterparty. Counterparty breakdown for credit risk derivatives refers to the sector where the counterparty of the contract (buyer or seller of protection) belongs;

(f)

for financial guarantees given, the counterparty shall be the direct counterparty of the guaranteed debt instrument;

(g)

for loan commitments and other commitments given, the counterparty whose credit risk is assumed by the reporting institution;

(h)

for loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments received, the guarantor or the counterparty that has provided the commitment to the reporting institution.

33. “Interest income. Financial assets held for trading” and “Interest expenses. Financial liabilities held for trading” shall include, where the clean price is used, the amounts related to those derivatives classified in the category “held for trading” which are hedging instruments from an economic but not accounting point of view to present correct interest income and expenses from the financial instruments that are hedged.

34. Where the clean price is used, “Interest income. Financial assets held for trading” and “Interest expenses. Financial liabilities held for trading” shall also include time-apportioned fees and balancing payments in relation to credit derivatives measured at fair value and used to manage the credit risk of part or all of a financial instrument that is designated at fair value at that occasion (IFRS 9.6.7).

35. “Interest income. Derivatives – Hedge accounting, interest rate risk” and “Interest expenses. Derivatives – Hedge accounting, interest rate risk” shall include, where the clean price is used, the amounts related to those derivatives classified in the category “hedge accounting” which cover interest rate risk, including hedges of a group of items with offsetting risk positions (hedges of a net position) whose hedged risk affect different line items in the statement of profit or loss. Where the clean price is used, those amounts shall be reported as interest income and expenses on a gross basis to present correct interest income and expenses from the hedged items to which they are linked. With clean price, where the hedged item generates interest income (expense), those amounts shall be reported as an interest income (expense) even where it is a negative (positive) amount.

36. “Interest income – other assets” shall include amounts of interest income not included in the other items, like interest income related to cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits and to non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale as well as net interest income from net defined benefit asset.

37. Under IFRS and where not provided otherwise in national GAAP, interest in relation to financial liabilities with a negative effective interest rate shall be reported in “Interest income on liabilities”. These liabilities and their interests give rise to a positive yield for an institution.

38. “Interest expenses – other liabilities” shall include amounts of interest expenses not included in the other items, like interest expenses related to liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale, expenses derived from increases in the carrying amount of a provision reflecting the passage of time or net interest expenses from net defined benefit liabilities.

39. Under IFRS and where not provided otherwise in national GAAP, interest in relation to financial assets with a negative effective interest rate shall be reported in “Interest expense on assets”. Those assets and their interests give rise to a negative yield for an institution.

40. Dividend income on equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss shall be reported either as “dividend income” separately from other gains and losses from those classes of instruments where the clean price is used, or as part of gains or losses from those classes of instruments where the dirty price is used.

41. Dividend income on equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income shall encompass dividends related to instruments derecognised during the reporting reference period and dividends related to instruments held at the end of the reporting reference period.

42. Dividend income from investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall include the dividends of those investments where they are accounted for using other than the equity method.

43. “Gains or (-) losses on financial assets and liabilities held for trading, net” shall include gains and losses in the remeasurement and derecognition of financial instruments classified as held for trading. This item shall also include gains and losses on credit derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss used to manage the credit risk of all, or part of, a financial instrument that is designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss, as well as dividend and interest income and expense on financial assets and liabilities held for trading where the dirty price is used.

44. “Gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss” shall include also the amount recognised in the statement of profit or loss for the own credit risk of liabilities designated at fair value where recognising own credit risk changes in other comprehensive income creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch (IFRS 9.5.7.8). This item shall include also gains and losses on the hedged instruments that are designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss where the designation is used to manage credit risk, as well as interest income and expense on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss where the dirty price is used.

45. “Gains or (-) losses on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss” shall not include gains on equity instruments that a reporting entity choses to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income (IFRS 9.5.7.1(b)).

46. Where a change in business model leads to the reclassification of a financial asset into a different accounting portfolio, the gains or losses from the reclassification shall be reported in the relevant rows of the accounting portfolio in which the financial asset is reclassified, in accordance with the following:

(a)

where a financial asset is reclassified out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss accounting portfolio (IFRS 9.5.6.2), gains or losses due to the reclassification shall be reported in “Gains or (-) losses on financial assets and liabilities held for trading, net” or “Gains or (-) losses on non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss, net”, as applicable;

where a financial asset is reclassified out of the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category (IFRS 9.5.6.7), the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income reclassified to profit or loss shall be reported in “Gains or (-) losses on financial assets and liabilities held for trading, net” or “Gains or (-) losses on non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss, net”, as applicable.

47. “Gains or (-) losses from hedge accounting, net” shall include gains and losses on hedging instruments and on hedged items, including those on hedged items measured at fair value through other comprehensive income other than equity instruments, in a fair value hedge in accordance with IFRS 9.6.5.8. It shall also include the ineffective part of the variation of the fair value of the hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge. The reclassifications of the cash flow hedges reserve or of the reserve for hedges of net investment in a foreign operation shall be recognised in the same rows of the “Statement of profit or loss” as those impacted by the cash flows from the hedged items. “Gains or (-) losses from hedge accounting, net” shall include also the gains and losses from hedges of net investment in foreign operations. This item shall also include gains on hedges of net positions.

48. “Gains or losses on derecognition of non-financial assets” shall include the gains and losses on derecognition of non-financial assets, except where classified as held for sale or as investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

48i. “Cash contributions to resolution funds and deposit guarantee schemes” shall include the amounts of contributions to resolution funds and deposit guarantee schemes where they are paid in the form of cash. Where the contribution is made in the form of a payment commitment, this payment commitment shall be included in “provisions or (-) reversal of provisions”, if the payment commitment gives rise to a liability in accordance with the applicable accounting standard.

49. “Modification gains or (-) losses, net” shall include the amounts arising from adjusting the gross carrying amounts of financial assets to reflect the renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows (IFRS 9.5.4.3 and Appendix A). The modification gains or losses shall not include the impact of modifications on the amount of expected credit losses, which shall be reported in “Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss”.

50. “Provisions or (-) reversal of provisions. Commitments and guarantees given” shall include the net charges in the “Statement of profit or loss” for provisions on all commitments and guarantees in the scope of IFRS 9, IAS 37 or IFRS 4 in accordance with paragraph 11 of this Part, or under national GAAP based on BAD. Under IFRS, any change in the fair value of commitments and financial guarantees measured at fair value shall be reported in “Gains or (-) losses on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, net”. Provisions therefore include the impairment amount for commitments and guarantees for which impairment is determined in accordance with IFRS 9 or their provisioning follows IAS 37 or they are treated as insurance contracts under IFRS 4.

51. Under IFRS, “Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss” shall include all impairment gains or losses for debt instruments arising from the application of the impairment rules in IFRS 9.5.5, regardless of whether the expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9.5.5 are estimated over a 12-month or a lifetime period, and including the impairment gains or losses for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables (IFRS 9.5.5.15).

52. Under national GAAP based on BAD “Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit and loss” shall include all allowances and reversal of allowances of financial instruments measured at cost based methods due to the change in creditworthiness of the debtor or issuer, as well as, depending on the specifications of the national GAAP, the allowances due to the impairment of financial instruments measured at fair value through equity and other measurement methods, including LOCOM.

53. “Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss” shall also include the amounts written off – as defined in paragraph 72, 74 and 165(b) of this Part of this Annex- that exceed the amount of the loss allowance at the date of write-off and are therefore recognised as a loss directly in profit or loss, as well as recoveries of previously written-off amounts recorded directly to the statement of profit or loss.

54. The share of profit or loss from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures which are accounted for under the equity method in the regulatory scope of consolidation shall be reported within “Share of the profit or (-) loss of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method”. According to IAS 28.10, the carrying amount of the investment shall be reduced by the amount of dividends paid by those entities. The impairment on those investments shall be reported in “(Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates)”. Gains or losses on derecognition of these investments shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 55 and 56of this Part.

55. “Profit or loss from non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale not qualifying as discontinued operations” shall include profit or loss generated by non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale not qualifying as discontinued operations.

56. Under IFRS, the gains or losses on derecognition of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be reported within “Profit or (-) loss before tax from discontinued operations” where they are considered discontinued operations under IFRS 5. Under national GAAP based on BAD, those gains and losses shall be reported in “Gains or (-) losses on derecognition of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, net”.

3. STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (3)

57. “Gains or (-) losses from hedge accounting of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income” shall include the change in the accumulated hedge ineffectiveness in fair value hedges in which the hedged item is an equity instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The change in accumulated hedge ineffectiveness reported in this row shall be the difference between the changes in the variation of the fair value of the equity instrument reported in “Fair value changes of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (hedged item)” and the changes in the variation of the fair value of the hedging derivative reported in “Fair value changes of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (hedging instrument)”.

58. “Hedge of net investments in foreign operations (effective portion)” shall include the change in the accumulated foreign currency translation reserve for the effective portion of both on-going and discontinued hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

59. For hedges of net investment in foreign operations and cash flow hedges, the respective amounts reported in “Transferred to profit or loss” shall include amounts transferred because the hedged flows have occurred and are no longer expected to occur.

60. “Hedging instruments (not designated elements)” shall include changes in the accumulated changes in fair value of all of the following where they are not designated as a hedging component:

(a)

time value of options;

(b)

forward elements of forward contracts;

(c)

foreign exchange basis spread of financial instruments.

61. For options, the amounts reclassified to profit or loss and reported in “Transferred to profit or loss” shall include reclassifications due to options that hedge a transaction-related hedged item and options that hedge a time-period related hedge item.

62. “Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income” shall include gains or losses on debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income other than impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, that shall respectively be reported in “(Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss)” and in “Exchange differences (gain or (-) loss), net” in template 2. “Transferred to profit or loss” in particular shall include the transfer to profit or loss due to derecognition or reclassification into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category.

63. Where a financial asset is reclassified out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category (IFRS 9.5.6.4), the gains or losses arising due to the reclassification shall be reported in “Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income”.

64. Where a financial asset is reclassified out of the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category (IFRS 9.5.6.7) or into the amortised cost measurement category (IFRS 9.5.6.5), the reclassified cumulative gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income shall be respectively reported in “Transferred to profit or loss” and in “Other reclassifications”, adjusting in the latter case the carrying amount of the financial asset.

65. For all components of the other comprehensive income, “Other reclassifications” shall include transfers other than the reclassifications from the other comprehensive income to the profit or loss or to the initial carrying amount of hedged items in the case of cash flow hedges.

66. Under IFRS “Income tax relating to items that will not be reclassified” and “Income tax relating to items that may be reclassified to profit or (-) loss” (IAS 1.91 (b), IG6) shall be reported as separate line items.

4. BREAKDOWN OF FINANCIAL ASSETS BY INSTRUMENT AND BY COUNTERPARTY SECTOR (4)

67. Financial assets shall be broken down by accounting portfolio and instrument and – where required – by counterparty. For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and at amortised cost, the gross carrying amount of assets and accumulated impairments shall be broken down by impairment stages.

68. Derivatives reported as trading financial assets under GAAP based on BAD include instruments measured at fair value as well as instruments measured at cost-based methods or LOCOM.

69. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV as well as this Annex, “accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk” means, for non-performing exposures, accumulated changes in fair value due to credit risk where the accumulated net change is negative. The accumulated net change in fair value due to credit risk shall be calculated by adding all negative and positive changes in fair value due to credit risk that have occurred since recognition of the debt instrument. That amount shall only be reported where the addition of positive and negative changes in fair value due to credit risk results in a negative amount. The valuation of the debt instruments shall be performed on the level of single financial instruments. For each debt instrument, “Accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk” shall be reported until the derecognition of the instrument.

70. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV as well as this Annex, “accumulated impairment” shall have the following meaning:

(a)

for debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at a cost-based method, accumulated impairment is the cumulative amount of impairment losses, net of use and reversals that has been recognised, where appropriate for each of the impairment stages. Accumulated impairment reduces the carrying amount of the debt instrument through the use of an allowance account under IFRS and national GAAP based on BAD, or via direct reductions that do not constitute a derecognition event under national GAAP based on BAD;

(b)

for debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income under IFRS, accumulated impairment is the sum of expected credit losses and their variations recognised as a reduction of fair value on a given instrument since initial recognition;

(c)

for debt instruments at fair value through equity under national GAAP based on BAD subject to impairment, accumulated impairment is the cumulative amount of impairment losses, net of use and reversals that has been recognised. The reduction in the carrying amount is either made through use of an allowance account or via direct reductions that do not constitute a derecognition event.

71. Under IFRS, accumulated impairment shall include the allowance for expected credit losses for financial assets under each of the impairment stages specified by IFRS 9. Under national GAAP based on BAD, it shall include specific and general allowance for credit risk, as well as the general allowance for banking risk where it reduces the carrying amount of debt instruments. Accumulated impairment shall also include the credit risk-induced value adjustments on financial assets under LOCOM.

72. “Accumulated partial write-offs” and “Accumulated total write-offs” shall include, respectively, the accumulated partial and total amount as at the reference date of principal and accrued past due interest and fees of any debt instrument that has been de-recognised to date using either of the methods described in paragraph 74 because the institution has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows. Those amounts shall be reported until the total extinguishment of all the reporting institution’s rights by expiry of the statute-of-limitations period, forgiveness or other causes, or until recovery. Therefore, where the written-off amounts are not recovered, they shall be reported while they are subject to enforcement activities.

73. Where a debt instrument is eventually totally written-off because of successive partial write-offs, the cumulative amount written-off shall be reclassified from the “Accumulated partial write-offs” into the “Accumulated total write-offs” column.

74. Write-offs shall constitute a derecognition event and relate to a financial asset in its entirety or to a portion of it, including where the modification of an asset leads the institution to give up its right of collecting cash flows on a portion or the entirety of this asset as further explained in paragraph 72. Write-offs shall include amounts caused by both reductions of the carrying amount of financial assets recognised directly in profit or loss and reductions in the amounts of the allowance accounts for credit losses taken against the carrying amount of financial assets.

75. The column “of which: Instruments with low credit risk” shall include instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date and for which the institution assumes that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition in accordance with IFRS 9.5.5.10.

76. Trade receivables within the meaning of IAS 1.54(h), contract assets and lease receivables for which the simplified approach of IFRS 9.5.5.15 for the estimation of loss allowances has been applied, shall be reported within loans and advances in template 4.4.1. The corresponding loss allowance for those assets shall be reported in either “Accumulated impairment on assets with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2)” or “Accumulated impairment on credit-impaired assets (Stage 3)”, depending on whether trade receivables, contract assets or lease receivables under the simplified approach are considered as credit-impaired assets.

77. Purchased or originated financial assets that are credit-impaired at initial recognition as defined in IFRS 9 Appendix A shall be separately reported in templates 4.3.1 and 4.4.1. For those assets, the accumulated impairment shall only include the cumulative changes in lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition (IFRS 9.5.5.13). The corresponding gross carrying amount and accumulated impairment for those assets shall be reported in “Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3)” at initial recognition and as long as they are considered as credit-impaired assets in accordance with the definition of “credit-impaired financial assets” of Appendix to IFRS 9 A. Where those assets are no long considered to be credit-impaired assets after initial recognition, they shall be reported in “Assets with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2)”.

78. In template 4.5, institutions shall report the carrying amount of “Loans and advances” and “Debt securities” that fall within the definition of “subordinated debt” in paragraph 100 of this Part.

79. In template 4.8, information to be reported depends on whether Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value to equity can be subject to impairment requirements in application of the national GAAP based on BAD. Where those financial assets are subject to impairment, institutions shall report information in this template that relates to the carrying amount, the gross carrying amount of unimpaired assets and impaired assets, accumulated impairment and accumulated write-offs. Where those financial assets are not subject to impairment, institutions shall report the accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk for non-performing exposures.

80. In template 4.9, financial assets measured under moderate LOCOM and their associated value adjustments shall be identified separately from other financial assets measured at a cost-based method and their associated impairment. Financial assets under a cost-based method, including financial assets under moderate LOCOM, shall be reported as unimpaired assets where they have no value adjustments or impairment associated with them, and as impaired assets in case they have value adjustments that qualify as impairment or impairment associated with them. Value adjustments that qualify as impairment shall be credit risk-induced value adjustments reflecting the deterioration of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Financial assets under moderate LOCOM with market-risk induced value adjustments reflecting the impact of changes in the market conditions on the value of the asset shall not be considered as impaired. Accumulated credit-risk induced and market-risk induced value adjustments shall be reported separately.

81. In template 4.10, assets measured at strict LOCOM as well as their associated value adjustments shall be reported separately from assets under other measurement methods. Financial assets under strict LOCOM and financial assets under other measurement methods shall be reported as impaired assets in case they have credit-risk induced value adjustments as defined in paragraph 80 or impairment associated with them. Financial assets under strict LOCOM with market risk induced value adjustments as defined in paragraph 80 shall not be considered as impaired. Accumulated credit-risk induced and market-risk induced value adjustments shall be reported separately.

82. Under national GAAP based on BAD, the amount of general allowances for banking risk to be reported in the applicable templates shall only be the part that affects the carrying amount of debt instruments (BAD Article 37.2).

5. BREAKDOWN OF NON-TRADING LOANS AND ADVANCES BY PRODUCT (5)

83. Loans and advances other than those held for trading or trading assets shall be broken down by type of product and by counterparty sector for the carrying amount and by type of products only for the gross carrying amount.

84. Balances receivable on demand classified as “Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits” shall also be reported in this template independently of how they are measured.

85. Loans and advances shall be allocated to the following products:

(a)

“on demand (call) and short notice (current account)” shall include balances receivable on demand (call), at short notice (by close of business on the day following that on which the demand was made), current accounts and similar balances including loans that are overnight deposits for the borrower (loans to be repaid by close of business on the day following that in which it was granted), regardless of their legal form. It shall also include “overdrafts” that are debit balances on current account balances and compulsory reserves held at the central bank;

That item shall include all factoring and similar transactions, like acceptances, outright purchase of trade receivables, forfaiting, discounting of invoice, bills of exchange, commercial papers and other claims where the reporting institution buys the trade receivables (both with and without recourse);

(d)

“Finance leases” shall include the carrying amount of finance lease receivables. Under IFRS, “finance lease receivables” are as defined in IAS 17;

(e)

“Reverse repurchase loans” shall include finance granted in exchange for securities or gold bought under repurchase agreements or borrowed under securities lending agreements as defined in paragraphs 183 and 184 of this Part;

(f)

“Other term loans” shall include debit balances with contractually fixed maturities or terms that are not included in other items;

(g)

“Advances that are not loans” shall include advances that cannot be classified as loans in accordance with the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation. That item shall include, among others, gross amounts receivable in respect of suspense items (such as funds that are awaiting investment, transfer, or settlement) and transit items (such as cheques and other forms of payment that have been sent for collection).

86. Loans and advances shall be classified on the basis of the collateral received as follows:

(a)

“Loans collateralized by immovable property” shall include loans and advances formally secured by residential or commercial immovable property collateral, regardless of their loan/collateral ratio (commonly referred as “loan-to-value”) and the legal form of the collateral;

(b)

“Other collateralized loans” shall include loans and advances formally secured by collateral, regardless of their loan/collateral ratio (commonly referred to as “loan-to-value” (LTV) ratio) and the legal form of the collateral, other than “Loans collateralised by immovable property”. That collateral shall include pledges of securities, cash, and other collateral, regardless of the legal form of the collateral.

87. Loans and advances shall be classified based on the collateral and irrespective of the purpose of the loan. The carrying amount of loans and advances secured by more than one type of collateral shall be classified and reported as collateralised by immovable property where those loans and advances are secured by immovable property regardless of whether they are also secured by other types of collateral.

88. Loans and advances shall be classified on the basis of their purpose as:

(a)

“Credit for consumption” shall include loans granted mainly for the personal consumption of goods and services, as defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation;

“Lending for house purchase” shall include credit extended to households for the purpose of investing in houses for own use or rental, including building and refurbishments, as defined in the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation.

89. Loans shall be classified on the basis of how they can be recovered. “Project finance loans” shall include loans that meet the characteristics of specialised lending exposures as referred to in Article 147(8) CRR.

6. BREAKDOWN OF NON-TRADING LOANS AND ADVANCES TO NON-FINANCIAL CORPORATIONS BY NACE CODES (6)

90. Gross carrying amount of loans and advances to non-financial corporations other than those included in the held for trading or trading assets portfolios shall be classified by sector of economic activities using NACE Codes on the basis of the principal activity of the counterparty.

91. The classification of the exposures incurred jointly by more than one obligor shall be done in accordance with paragraph 43 of Part 1 of this Annex.

92. Reporting of NACE codes shall be done with the first level of disaggregation (by “section”). Institutions shall report loans and advances to non-financial corporations which engage in financial or insurance activities in “K – Financial and insurance activities”.

93. Under IFRS, financial assets subject to impairment shall include (i) financial assets at amortised cost, and (ii) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Under national GAAP based on BAD, financial assets subject to impairment shall include financial assets measured at a cost-based method, including under LOCOM. Depending on the specifications in each national GAAP, they may include (i) financial assets measured at fair value through equity, and (ii) financial assets under other measurement methods.

7. FINANCIAL ASSETS SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT THAT ARE PAST DUE (7)

94. The carrying amount of debt instruments that are included in the accounting portfolios subject to impairment shall be reported in template 7.1 only where they are past due. Past-due instruments shall be allocated to the corresponding past-due buckets on the basis of their individual situation.

95. Accounting portfolios subject to impairment shall be financial assets subject to impairment, as defined as in paragraph 93 of this Part.

96. Financial assets shall qualify as past due where any amount of principal, interest or fee has not been paid at the date it was due. Past due exposures shall be reported for their entire carrying amount. The carrying amounts of such assets shall be reported by impairment stages or impairment status in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and broken down according to the number of days of the oldest past due amount unpaid at the reference date.

8. BREAKDOWN OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (8)

97. “Deposits” and the product breakdown shall be defined in accordance with the Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation. Regulated savings deposits shall be classified in accordance with the ECB BSI Regulation and distributed according to the counterparty. In particular, non-transferable sight savings deposits, which although legally redeemable at demand are subject to significant penalties and restrictions and have features that are very similar to overnight deposits, shall be classified as deposits redeemable at notice.

98. “Debt securities issued” shall be disaggregated into the following type of products:

(a)

“Certificates of deposits” shall be securities that enable the holders to withdraw funds from an account;

(b)

“Asset backed securities” shall be securities derived from securitisation transactions as defined in point (61) of Article 4(1) CRR;

99. “Subordinated financial liabilities” issued shall be treated in the same way as other financial liabilities incurred. Subordinated liabilities issued in the form of securities shall be classified as “Debt securities issued” and subordinated liabilities in the form of deposits are classified as “Deposits”.

100. Template 8.2 shall include the carrying amount of “Deposits” and “Debt securities issued” that shall be subordinated debt, as determined in Table of Part 2 of Annex II to the ECB BSI Regulation, classified by accounting portfolios. “Subordinated debt” instruments provide a subsidiary claim on the issuing institution that can only be exercised after all claims with a higher status have been satisfied.

101. “Accumulated changes in fair value due to changes in own credit risk” shall include all the said accumulative changes in fair value, regardless of whether they are recognised in profit or loss or in the other comprehensive income.

103. Information on loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given and received shall include both revocable and irrevocable commitments.

104. Loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given listed in Annex I to CRR may be instruments that are in the scope of IFRS 9 where they are measured at fair value through profit or loss, or where they are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, as well as instruments that are within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRS 4.

105. Under IFRS, loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given shall be reported in template 9.1.1 where any of the following conditions are met:

(a)

they are subject to impairment requirements of IFRS 9;

(b)

they are designated at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9;

(c)

they are within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRS 4.

106. Liabilities that shall be recognised as credit losses for the financial guarantees and commitments given referred to under points (a) and (c) of paragraph 105 of this Part of this Annex shall be reported as provisions regardless of the measurement criteria applied.

107. Institutions under IFRS shall report the nominal amount and provisions of instruments that are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, including those measured at initial cost less cumulative income recognised, broken down by impairment stages.

108. Only the nominal amount of the commitment shall be reported in template 9.1.1 where a debt instrument includes both an on-balance sheet instrument and an off-balance sheet component. Where the reporting entity is unable to identify separately the expected credit losses on the on-balance sheet and off-balance components, the expected credit losses on the commitment shall be reported together with the accumulated impairment on the on-balance sheet component. Where the combined expected credit losses exceed the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument, the remaining balance of the expected credit losses shall be reported as a provision in the appropriate impairment stage in template 9.1.1 (IFRS 9.5.5.20 and IFRS 7.B8E).

109. A financial guarantee or a commitment to provide a loan at a below-market rate that is measured in accordance with IFRS 9.4.2.1(d) and for which its loss allowance is determined in accordance with IFRS 9.5.5 shall be reported in the appropriate impairment stage.

110. Where loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments are measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9, institutions shall report in template 9.1.1 the nominal amount and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk of those financial guarantees and commitments in dedicated columns. “Accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk” shall be reported applying the criteria of paragraph 69of this Part.

111. The nominal amount and provisions of other commitments or guarantees that are within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRS 4 shall be reported in dedicated columns.

112. Institutions under national GAAP based on BAD shall report in template 9.1 the nominal amount of commitments and financial guarantees referred to in paragraphs 102 and 103, as well as the amount of provisions required to be held against those off-balance sheet exposures.

113. “Loan commitments” shall be firm commitments to provide credit under pre-specified terms and conditions, except those that are derivatives because they can be settled net in cash or by delivering or issuing another financial instrument. The following items of Annex I to CRR shall be classified as “Loan commitments”:

(a)

“Forward deposits”;

(b)

“Undrawn credit facilities”, which comprise agreements to “lend” or provide “acceptance facilities” under pre-specified terms and conditions.

114. “Financial guarantees” shall be contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder of a loss it incurs, because a specified debtor fails to make payment where due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument, including guarantees provided for other financial guarantees. Under IFRS, those contracts shall meet the definition of financial guarantee contracts in IFRS 9.2.1(e) and IFRS 4.A. The following items of Annex I to CRR shall be classified as “financial guarantees”:

(a)

“Guarantees having the character of credit substitute”;

(b)

“Credit derivatives” that meet the definition of financial guarantee;

(c)

“Irrevocable standby letters of credit having the character of credit substitutes”.

115. “Other commitments” shall include the following items of Annex I to CRR:

(a)

“Unpaid portion of partly-paid shares and securities”;

(b)

“Documentary credits issued or confirmed”;

(c)

“Trade finance off-balance sheet items”;

(d)

“Documentary credits in which underlying shipment acts as collateral and other self-liquidating transactions”;

(e)

“Warranties and indemnities” (including tender and performance bonds) and “guarantees not having the character of credit substitutes”;

(f)

“Shipping guarantees, customs and tax bonds”;

(g)

“Note issuance facilities” (NIFs) and “Revolving underwritings facilities” (RUFs);

(h)

“Undrawn credit facilities” which comprise agreements to “lend” or provide “acceptance facilities” where the terms and conditions are not pre-specified;

(i)

“Undrawn credit facilities” which comprise agreements to “purchase securities” or “provide guarantees”;

(j)

“Undrawn credit facilities for tender and performance guarantees”;

(k)

“Other off-balance sheet items” in Annex I to CRR.

116. Under IFRS, the following items are recognised in the balance sheet and, consequently, shall not be reported as off-balance sheet exposures:

(a)

“Credit derivatives” that do not meet the definition of financial guarantees are “derivatives” under IFRS 9;

(b)

“Acceptances” are obligations by an institution to pay on maturity the face value of a bill of exchange, normally covering the sale of goods. Consequently, they are classified as “trade receivables” on the balance sheet;

(c)

“Endorsements on bills” that do not meet the criteria for derecognition under IFRS 9;

(d)

“Transactions with recourse” that do not meet the criteria for derecognition under IFRS 9;

(e)

“Assets purchased under outright forward purchase agreements” are “derivatives” under IFRS 9;

(f)

“Asset sale and repurchase agreements as referred to in paragraphs 3 and 5 of Article 12 of Directive 86/635/EEC”. In those contracts, the transferee has the option, but not the obligation, to return the assets at a price agreed in advance on a date specified or on a date to be specified. Therefore, those contracts meet the definition of derivatives in Appendix A to IFRS 9.

117. The item “of which: non-performing” shall include the nominal amount of those loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given that are considered as non-performing in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 of this Part.

118. For financial guarantees, loan commitments and other commitments given, the “Nominal amount” shall be the amount that best represents the institution’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements. In particular, for financial guarantees given, the nominal amount shall be the maximum amount the entity would have to pay if the guarantee is called on. For loan commitments, the nominal amount shall be the undrawn amount that the institution has committed to lend. Nominal amounts shall be the exposure values before applying conversion factors and credit risk mitigation techniques.

119. In template 9.2, for loan commitments received, the nominal amount shall be the total undrawn amount that the counterparty has committed to lend to the institution. For other commitments received, the nominal amount shall be the total amount committed by the other party in the transaction. For financial guarantees received, the “maximum amount of the guarantee that can be considered” shall be the maximum amount the counterparty would have to pay if the guarantee is called on. Where a financial guarantee received has been issued by more than one guarantor, the guaranteed amount shall be reported only once in this template; the guaranteed amount shall be allocated to guarantor that is more relevant for the mitigation of credit risk.

10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING (10 AND 11)

120. For the purpose of templates 10 and 11, derivatives shall be considered either as hedging derivatives where they are used in a qualifying hedging relationship in accordance with IFRS or with the applicable national GAAP under BAD, or as held for trading in other cases.

121. The carrying amount and the notional amount of the derivatives held for trading, including economic hedges, as well as the derivatives held for hedge accounting shall be reported broken down by type of underlying risk, type of market and type of product in templates 10 and 11. Institutions shall report the derivatives held for hedge accounting also broken down by type of hedge. Information on non-derivative hedging instruments shall be reported separately and broken down by types of hedges.

122. Under the relevant national GAAP based on BAD, all derivatives shall be reported in these templates irrespective of whether they are or are not recognised on the balance sheet under the relevant national GAAP.

123. The breakdown of the carrying amount, fair value and notional amount of trading and hedging derivatives by accounting portfolios and types of hedges shall be implemented taking into consideration the accounting portfolios and types of hedges that are applicable in IFRS or national GAAP under BAD, whichever framework applies to the reporting entity.

124. Trading derivatives and hedging derivatives which, in accordance with national GAAP based on BAD, are measured at cost or LOCOM shall be identified separately.

125. Template 11 shall include hedging instruments and hedged items irrespective of the accounting standard used to recognise a qualifying hedge relationship, including where that qualifying hedge relationship concerns a net position. Where an institution has elected to keep applying IAS 39 for hedge accounting (IFRS 9.7.2.21), the references and names for the types of hedges and accounting portfolios shall be read as the relevant references and names in IAS 39.9: “Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income” shall refer to “Available for sale assets”, and ‘Assets at amortised cost shall gather “Held to maturity” as well as “Loans and receivables”.

126. Derivatives included in hybrid instruments, which have been separated from the host contract, shall be reported in templates 10 and 11 according to the nature of the derivative. The amount of the host contract is not included in those templates. However, where the hybrid instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss, the contract shall be reported as a whole and the embedded derivatives shall not be reported in templates 10 and 11.

127. Commitments considered as derivatives (IFRS 9.2.3(b)) and credit derivatives that do not meet the definition of a financial guarantee in paragraph 114 of this Part of this Annex shall be reported in template 10 and template 11 following the same breakdowns as the other derivative instruments, but not be reported in template 9.

128. The carrying amount of non-derivative financial assets or non-derivative financial liabilities that are recognised as hedging instrument in application of IFRS or the relevant national GAAP under BAD shall be reported separately in template 11.3.

10.1. Classification of derivatives by type of risk

129. All derivatives shall be classified into one of the following risk categories:

(a)

interest rate: Interest rate derivatives shall be contracts related to an interest-bearing financial instrument the cash flows of which are determined by referencing interest rates or another interest rate contract such as an option on a futures contract to purchase a treasury bill. That category shall be restricted to those deals where all the legs are exposed to only one currency’s interest rate. It shall thus exclude contracts involving the exchange of one or more foreign currencies such as cross-currency swaps and currency options, and other contracts the predominant risk characteristic of which is foreign exchange risk, which are to be reported as foreign exchange contracts. The only exception is where cross-currency swaps are used as part of a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk, where they shall be reported in the dedicated rows for those types of hedges. Interest rate contracts shall include forward rate agreements, single-currency interest rate swaps, interest rate futures, interest rate options (including caps, floors, collars and corridors), interest rate swaps and interest rate warrants;

(b)

equity: Equity derivatives shall be contracts that have a return, or a portion of their return, linked to the price of a particular equity or to an index of equity prices;

(c)

foreign exchange and gold: These derivatives shall include contracts involving the exchange of currencies in the forward market and the exposure to gold. They shall therefore cover outright forwards, foreign exchange swaps, currency swaps (including cross-currency interest rate swaps), currency futures, currency options, currency swaps and currency warrants. Foreign exchange derivatives shall include all deals involving exposure to more than one currency, whether in exchange rates or in interest rates, except where cross-currency swaps are used as part of a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk. Gold contracts shall include all deals involving exposure to that commodity;

(d)

credit: Credit derivatives shall be contracts in which the payout is linked primarily to some measure of the creditworthiness of a particular reference credit and that do not meet the definition of financial guarantees (IFRS 9.4.2.1 (c)). The contracts shall specify an exchange of payments in which at least one of the two legs is determined by the performance of the reference credit. Payouts can be triggered by a number of events, including a default, a rating downgrade or a stipulated change in the credit spread of the reference asset. Credit derivatives that meet the definition of a financial guarantee in paragraph 114 of this Part of this Annex shall be reported only in template 9;

(e)

commodity: These derivatives shall be contracts that have a return, or a portion of their return, linked to the price of, or to a price index of, a commodity such as a precious metal (other than gold), petroleum, lumber or agricultural products;

(f)

other: those derivatives shall be any other derivative contracts, which do not involve an exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate, equity, commodity or credit risk such as climatic derivatives or insurance derivatives.

130. Where a derivative is influenced by more than one type of underlying risk, the instrument shall be allocated to the most sensitive type of risk. For multi-exposure derivatives, in cases of uncertainty, the deals shall be allocated according to the following order of precedence:

(a)

commodities: All derivatives transactions involving a commodity or commodity index exposure, whether or not they involve a joint exposure in commodities and any other risk category which may include foreign exchange, interest rate or equity, shall be reported in this category;

(b)

equities: With the exception of contracts with a joint exposure to commodities and equities, which are to be reported as commodities, all derivatives transactions with a link to the performance of equities or equity indices shall be reported in the equity category. Equity deals with exposure to foreign exchange or interest rates shall be included in this category;

(c)

foreign exchange and gold: This category shall include all derivatives transactions (with the exception of those already reported in the commodity or equity categories) with exposure to more than one currency, be it pertaining to either interest-bearing financial instruments or exchange rates, except where cross-currency swaps are used as part of a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk.

10.2. Amounts to be reported for derivatives

131. Under IFRS, the “carrying amount” for all derivatives (hedging or trading) shall be the fair value. Derivatives with a positive fair value (above zero) shall be “financial assets” and derivatives with a negative fair value (below zero) shall be “financial liabilities”. The “carrying amount” shall be reported separately for derivatives with a positive fair value (“financial assets”) and for those with a negative fair value (“financial liabilities”). At the date of initial recognition, a derivative shall be classified as “financial asset” or “financial liability” according to its initial fair value. After initial recognition, as the fair value of a derivative increases or decreases, the terms of the exchange may become either favourable to the institution (and the derivative is classified as “financial asset”) or unfavourable (and the derivative is classified as “financial liability”). The carrying amount of hedging derivatives shall be their entire fair value, including, where applicable, the components of this fair value that are not designated as hedging instruments.

132. In addition to carrying amounts as defined in paragraph 27 of Part 1 of this Annex, fair values shall be reported by reporting institutions under national GAAP based on BAD for all derivative instruments, whether required to be booked on-balance sheet or off-balance sheet by the national GAAP based on BAD.

133. The “Notional amount” shall be the gross nominal of all deals concluded and not yet settled at the reference date, regardless of whether those deals lead to derivative exposures being booked on-balance sheet. In particular, the following shall be taken into account to determine the notional amount:

(a)

for contracts with variable nominal or notional principal amounts, the basis for reporting shall be the nominal or notional principal amounts at the reference date;

(b)

the notional amount value to be reported for a derivative contract with a multiplier component shall be the contract effective notional amount or par value;

(c)

swaps: The notional amount of a swap shall be the underlying principal amount upon which the exchange of interest, foreign exchange or other income or expense is based;

(d)

equity and commodity-linked contracts: The notional amount to be reported for an equity or commodity contract shall be the quantity of the commodity or equity product contracted for purchase or sale multiplied by the contract price of a unit. The notional amount to be reported for commodity contracts with multiple exchanges of principal shall be the contractual amount multiplied by the number of remaining exchanges of principal in the contract;

(e)

credit derivatives: The contract amount to be reported for credit derivatives shall be the nominal value of the relevant reference credit;

(f)

digital options have a predefined payoff, which can be either a monetary amount or a number of contracts of an underlying. The notional amount for digital options shall be either the predefined monetary amount or the fair value of the underlying at the reference date.

134. The column “Notional amount” of derivatives shall include, for each line item, the sum of the notional amounts of all contracts in which the institution is counterparty, irrespective of whether the derivatives are considered assets or liabilities on the face of the balance sheet or are not booked on-balance sheet. All notional amounts shall be reported, regardless of whether the fair value of derivatives is positive, negative or equal to zero. Netting among the notional amounts shall not be allowed.

135. The “Notional amount” shall be reported by “total” and by “of which: sold” for the line items: “OTC options”, “Organised market options”, “Credit”, “Commodity” and “Other”. The item “of which sold” shall include the notional amounts (strike price) of the contracts in which the counterparties (option holders) of the institution (option writer) have the right to exercise the option, and for the items related to credit risk derivatives, the notional amounts of the contracts in which the institution (protection seller) has sold (gives) protection to its counterparties (protection buyers).

136. The allocation of a transaction as “OTC” or “Organized market” shall be based on the nature of the market where the transaction takes place and not on whether there is a mandatory clearing obligation for that transaction. An “Organised market” is a regulated market in the meaning of point (92) of Article 4(1) CRR. Therefore, where a reporting entity enters into a derivative contract in an OTC market where central clearing is compulsory, it shall classify that derivative as “OTC” and not as “Organised market”.

10.3. Derivatives classified as “economic hedges”

137. Derivatives that are held for hedging purposes but which do not meet the criteria to be effective hedging instruments in accordance with IFRS 9, with IAS 39 where IAS 39 is applied for hedge accounting purposes or with the accounting framework under national GAAP based on BAD, shall be reported in template 10 as “economic hedges”. This shall apply also to all of the following cases:

(a)

derivatives hedging unquoted equity instruments for which cost may be an appropriate estimate of fair value;

(b)

credit derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss used to manage the credit risk of all, or part of, a financial instrument that is designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss at, or subsequent to, initial recognition, or while it is unrecognised in accordance with IFRS 9.6.7.;

(c)

derivatives that are classified as “held for trading” in accordance with Appendix A to IFRS 9 or classified as trading assets in accordance with the national GAAP based on BAD but are not part of the trading book as defined in point (86) of Article 4(1) CRR.

138. “Economic hedges” shall not include derivatives for proprietary trading.

139. Derivatives that meet the definition of “economic hedges” shall be reported separately in template 10 for each type of risk.

140. Credit derivatives used to manage the credit risk of all, or part of, a financial instrument that is designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss at, or subsequent to, initial recognition, or while it is unrecognised in accordance with IFRS 9.6.7, shall be reported in a dedicated row in template 10 within credit risk. Other economic hedges of credit risk for which the reporting entity does not apply IFRS 9.6.7 shall be reported separately.

10.4. Breakdown of derivatives by counterparty sector

141. The carrying amount and the total notional amount of derivatives held for trading, and also of derivatives held for hedge accounting, which are traded in the OTC market, shall be reported by counterparties using the following categories:

(a)

“credit institutions”;

(b)

“other financial corporations”;

(c)

“rest” comprising all other counterparties.

142. All OTC derivatives, irrespective of the type of risk to which they are related, shall be broken down by those counterparties.

10.5. Hedge accounting under national GAAP (11.2)

143. Where national GAAP under BAD require the allocation of hedging derivatives across categories of hedges, the hedging derivatives shall be separately reported for each of the applicable categories: “fair-value hedges”, “cash flow hedges”, “cost-price hedges”, “hedge in net investments in a foreign operation”, “portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk” and “portfolio cash flow hedges of interest rate risk”.

144. Where applicable in accordance with national GAAP based on BAD, “Cost price hedges” shall refer to a hedging category in which the hedging derivative is generally measured at cost.

10.6. Amount to be reported for non-derivative hedging instruments (11.3 and 11.3.1)

145. For non-derivative hedging instruments, the amount to be reported shall be the carrying amount of those non-derivative hedging instruments according to the applicable measurement rules in IFRS or in GAAP based on BAD for the accounting portfolios to which they belong. No “notional amount” shall be reported for non-derivative hedging instruments.

10.7. Hedged items in fair value hedges (11.4)

146. The carrying amount of hedged items in a fair value hedge recognised on the statement of financial position shall be broken down by accounting portfolio and type of hedged risk for hedged financial assets and hedged financial liabilities. Where a financial instrument is hedged for more than one risk, it shall be reported in the type of risk in which the hedging instrument shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 129.

147. “Micro-hedges” shall be hedges other than portfolio hedge of interest rate risk in accordance with IAS 39.89 A. Micro-hedges shall include hedges of nil net positions as referred to in accordance with IFRS 9.6.6.6.

148. “Hedge adjustments on micro-hedges” shall include all hedge adjustments for all the micro-hedges as defined in paragraph 147.

149. “Hedge adjustments included in the carrying amount of assets/liabilities” shall be the accumulated amount of the gains and losses on the hedged items that have adjusted the carrying amount of those items and been recognised in profit or loss. Hedge adjustments for the hedged items that are equities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income shall be reported in template 1.3. Hedge adjustments for unrecognised firm commitments or a component thereof shall not be reported.

150. “Remaining adjustments for discontinued micro-hedges including hedges of net positions” shall include those hedge adjustments which, following the discontinuation of the hedge relationship and the end of the adjustment of hedged items for hedging gains and losses, remain to be amortised to the profit or loss via a recalculated effective interest rate for hedged items measured at amortised cost, or to the amount that represents the previously recognised cumulative hedging gain or loss for hedged assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

151. Where a group of financial assets or financial liabilities, including a group of financial assets or financial liabilities that constitute a net position, is eligible as a hedged item, financial assets and financial liabilities constituting that group shall be reported at their carrying amount on a gross basis, before netting between instruments within the group, in “Assets or liabilities included in hedge of a net position (before netting)”.

152. “Hedged items in portfolio hedge of interest rate risk” shall include financial assets and financial liabilities included in a fair value hedge of the interest rate exposure of a portfolio of financial assets or financial liabilities. Those financial instruments shall be reported at their carrying amount on a gross basis, before netting between instruments within the portfolio.

11. MOVEMENTS IN ALLOWANCES AND PROVISIONS FOR CREDIT LOSSES (12)

11.1. Movements in allowances for credit losses and impairment of equity instruments under national GAAP based on BAD (12.0)

153. Template 12.0 contains a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of the allowance account for financial assets measured under cost-based methods, as well as for financial assets under other measurement methods or measured at fair value through equity where the national GAAP under BAD require those assets to be subject to impairment. Value adjustments on assets measured at the lower of cost or market shall not be reported in template 12.0.

154. “Increases due to amounts set aside for estimated loan losses during the period” shall be reported where, for the main category of assets or the counterparty, the estimation of the impairment for the period results in the recognition of net expenses; that is, for the given category or counterparty, the increases in the impairment for the period exceed the decreases. “Decreases due to amounts reversed for estimated loan losses during the period” shall be reported where, for the main category of assets or counterparty, the estimation of the impairment for the period result in the recognition of net income; that is, for the given category or counterparty, the decreases in the impairment for the period exceed the increases.

155. Changes in the allowance amounts due to repayment and disposals of financial assets shall be reported in “Other adjustments”. Write-offs shall be reported in accordance with paragraphs 72 to 74.

11.2. Movements in allowances and provisions for credit losses under IFRS (12.1)

156. Template 12.1 contains a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of the allowance account for financial assets measured at amortised cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income broken down by impairment stages, by instrument and by counterparty.

157. The provisions for off-balance sheet exposures that are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 shall be reported by impairment stages. Impairment for loan commitments shall be reported as provisions only where they are not considered together with the impairment of on-balance sheet assets in accordance with IFRS 9.7.B8E and paragraph 108 of this part. Movements in provisions for commitments and financial guarantees measured under IAS 37 and financial guarantees treated as insurance contracts under IFRS 4 shall not be reported in this template but in template 43. Changes in the fair value due to credit risk of commitments and financial guarantees measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 shall not be reported in this template but in item “Gains or (-) losses on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, net” in accordance with paragraph 50 of this Part.

158. The items “of which: collectively measured allowances” and “of which: individually measured allowances” shall include the movements in the cumulative amount of impairment related to financial assets which have been measured on a collective or individual basis.

159. “Increases due to origination and acquisition” shall include the amount of increases in expected losses accounted for on the initial recognition of financial assets originated or acquired. That increase of the allowance shall be reported at the first reporting reference date following the origination or acquisition of those financial assets. Increases or decreases in the expected losses on those financial assets after their initial recognition shall be reported in other columns. Originated or acquired assets shall include assets resulting from the drawdown of off-balance sheet commitments given.

160. “Decreases due to derecognition” shall include the amount of changes in allowances due to financial assets de-recognised totally in the reporting reference period for reasons other than write-offs, which include transfers to third parties or the expiry of the contractual rights due to full repayment, disposal of those financial assets or their transfer in another accounting portfolio. The change in allowance shall be recognised in this column at the first reporting reference date following the repayment, disposal or transfer. For off-balance sheet exposures, this item shall also include the decreases in the impairment due to the off-balance sheet item becoming an on-balance sheet asset.

161. “Changes due to change in credit risk (net)” shall include the net amount of changes in expected losses at the end of the reporting reference period due to an increase or decrease in credit risk since initial recognition, irrespective of whether those changes led to a transfer of the financial asset to another stage. The impact on the allowance due to the increase or decrease of the amount of financial assets as a consequence of the interest income accrued and paid shall be reported in this column. This item shall also include the impact of the passing of time on the expected losses calculated in accordance with IFRS 9.5.4.1(a) and (b). The changes in estimates due to updates or review of risk parameters as well as changes in forward-looking economic data shall also be reported in this column. Changes in expected losses due to partial repayment of exposures via instalments shall be reported in this column with the exception of the last instalment, which shall be reported in the column “Decreases due to derecognition”.

162. All changes in expected credit losses related to revolving exposures shall be reported in “Changes due to change in credit risk (net)”, except for those changes related to write-offs and updates in the institution’s methodology for estimation of credit losses. Revolving exposures shall be those for which customers’ outstanding balances are permitted to fluctuate based on their decisions to borrow and repay up to a limit established by the institution.

163. “Changes due to an update in the institution’s methodology for estimation (net)” shall include changes due to updates in the institution’s methodology for estimation of expected losses due to changes in the existing models or establishment of new models used to estimate impairment. Methodological updates shall also encompass the impact of the adoption of new standards. Changes in methodology that trigger an asset to change impairment stage shall be considered for a model change in its entirety. The changes in estimates due to updates or review of risk parameters as well as changes in forward-looking economic data shall not be reported in this column.

164. The reporting of the changes in the expected losses related to modified assets (IFRS 9.5.4.3 and Appendix A) shall depend on the feature of the modification in accordance with the following:

(a)

where the modification results in the partial or total derecognition of an asset due to a write-off as defined in paragraph 74, the impact on expected losses due to this derecognition shall be reported in “Decrease in allowance account due to write-offs”, and any other impact from modification on expected credit losses in other appropriate columns;

(b)

where the modification results in the complete derecognition of an asset for reasons other than a write-off as defined in paragraph 74 and its substitution by a new asset, the impact of modification on expected credit losses shall be reported in “Changes due to derecognition” for the changes due to the asset derecognised, and in “Increases due to origination and acquisition” for the changes due to the newly recognised modified asset. Derecognition for reasons other than write-offs shall include derecognition where the terms of the modified assets have been subject to substantial changes;

(c)

where the modification does not result in derecognition of all or part of the modified asset, its impact on expected losses shall be reported in “Changes due to modifications without derecognition”.

165. Write-offs shall be reported in accordance with paragraphs 72 to 74 of this Part of this Annex and in accordance with the following:

(a)

where the debt instrument is partially or totally derecognised because there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, the decrease in the loss allowance reported due to the amounts written off shall be reported in: “Decrease in allowance account due to write-offs”;

(b)

“Amounts written-off directly to the statement of profit or loss” shall be the amounts of financial assets written-off during the reporting reference period that exceed any allowance account of the respective financial assets at the derecognition date. They shall include all amounts written-off during the reporting reference period and not only those which are still subject to enforcement activity.

166. “Other adjustments” shall include any amount not reported in the previous columns, including the adjustments on expected losses due to foreign exchange differences where it is consistent with the reporting of the impact of foreign exchange in template 2.

166i. “Gains or losses on derecognition of debt instruments” shall include the difference between the carrying amount of financial assets measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received.

11.3. Transfers between impairment stages (gross basis presentation) (12.2)

167. For financial assets, the gross carrying amount and for off-balance exposures that are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the nominal amount that has been transferred between impairment stages during the reporting reference period shall be reported in template 12.2.

168. Only the gross carrying amount or the nominal amount of those financial assets or off-balance exposures which are in a different impairment stage at the reporting reference date than they were at the beginning of the financial year or their initial recognition shall be reported. For on-balance exposures for which the impairment reported in template 12.1 includes an off-balance sheet component (IFRS 9.5.5.20 and IFRS 7.B8E), the change in stage of the on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet component shall be considered.

169. For the reporting of the transfers that have taken place during the financial year, financial assets or off-balance exposures that have changed multiple times the impairment stage since the beginning of the financial year or their initial recognition shall be reported as having been transferred from their impairment stage at the opening of the financial year or initial recognition to the impairment stage in which they are included at the reporting reference date.

170. The gross carrying amount or the nominal amount to be reported in template 12.2 shall be the gross carrying amount or the nominal value at the reporting date, regardless of whether that amount was higher or lower at the date of the transfer.

12. COLLATERAL AND GUARANTEES RECEIVED (13)

12.1. Breakdown of collateral and guarantees by loans and advances other than held for trading (13.1)

171. The collateral and guarantees backing the loans and advances, independently of their legal form, shall be reported by type of pledges: loans collateralised by immovable property and other collateralised loans, and by financial guarantees received. The loans and advances shall be broken down by counterparties and purpose.

172. In template 13.1, the “maximum amount of the collateral or guarantee that can be considered” shall be reported. The sum of the amounts of the financial guarantee and/or collateral shown in the related columns of template 13.1 shall not exceed the carrying amount of the related loan.

173. For reporting loans and advances according to the type of pledge, the following definitions shall be used:

(a)

within “Loans collateralised by immovable property”, “Residential” shall include loans secured by residential immovable property and “Commercial” loans secured by pledges of immovable property other than residential, including offices and commercial premises and other types of commercial immovable property. The determination of whether immovable property collateral shall be residential or commercial shall be made in accordance with point (75) of Article 4(1) CRR;

(b)

within “Other collateralised loans”:

(i)

“Cash, deposits, (Debt securities issued)” shall include (a) deposits in the reporting institution that have been pledged as collateral for a loan and (b) debt securities issued by the reporting institution which have been pledged as collateral for a loan;

174. For loans and advances that have simultaneously several types of collateral or guarantee, the amount of the “Maximum collateral/guarantee that can be considered” shall be allocated according to its quality, starting from the one with the best quality. For loans collateralised by immovable property, immovable property collateral shall always be reported first, irrespective of its quality compared to other collateral. Where the “Maximum collateral/guarantee that can be considered” exceeds the value of immovable property collateral, its remaining value shall be allocated to other collateral types and guarantees according to its quality, starting from the one with best quality.

12.2. Collateral obtained by taking possession during the period (held at the reference date) (13.2.1)

175. This template shall be used to report information on collateral that has been obtained between the beginning and the end of the reference period and that remains recognised in the balance sheet at the reference date. Collateral obtained by taking possession shall include assets that were not pledged by the debtor as collateral, but were obtained in exchange for the cancellation of debt, whether on a voluntary basis or as part of legal proceedings. The types of collateral shall be the ones referred to in paragraph 173, with the exception of those in point (b) (i) of that paragraph.

175i. “Value at initial recognition” shall mean the gross carrying amount of the collateral obtained by taking possession at the point in time of the initial recognition in the balance sheet of the reporting institution.

175ii. “Accumulated negative changes” shall be the difference, at the level of the individual collateral item, between the value at initial recognition of the collateral and the carrying amount at the reporting reference date, where that difference is negative.

177. Institutions shall report the value of financial instruments measured at fair value according to the hierarchy provided by IFRS 13.72. Where national GAAP under BAD require the allocation of assets measured at fair value between different levels of fair value, institutions under national GAAP shall also report this template.

178. “Change in fair value for the period” shall include gains or losses from re-measurements made in accordance with IFRS 9, IFRS 13 or national GAAP, where applicable, in the period of the instruments that continue to exist at the reporting date. Those gains and losses shall be reported as for inclusion in the statement of profit or loss, or where applicable, in the statement of comprehensive income; thus, the amounts to be reported are before taxes.

182. The column “Amounts derecognised for capital purposes” shall include the carrying amount of the financial assets recognised for accounting purposes but de-recognised for prudential purposes because the institution is treating them as securitisation positions for capital purposes in accordance with Articles 109, 243 and 244 CRR.

183. “Repurchase agreements” (“repos”) shall be transactions in which the institution receives cash in exchange for financial assets sold at a given price under a commitment to repurchase the same (or identical) assets at a fixed price on a specified future date. Transactions involving the temporary transfer of gold against cash collateral shall also be considered “Repurchase agreements” (“repos”). Amounts received by the institution in exchange for financial assets transferred to a third party (“temporary acquirer”) shall be classified under “repurchase agreements” where there is a commitment to reverse the operation and not merely an option to do so. Repurchase agreements shall also include repo-type operations which may include:

(a)

amounts received in exchange for securities temporarily transferred to a third party in the form of securities lending against cash collateral;

(b)

amounts received in exchange for securities temporarily transferred to a third party in the form of sale/buy-back agreement.

184. “Repurchase agreements” (“repos”) and “reverse repurchase loans” (“reverse repos”) shall involve cash received or loaned out by the institution.

185. In a securitisation transaction, where the transferred financial assets are derecognized, institutions shall declare the gains (losses) generated by the item within the income statement corresponding to the “accounting portfolios” in which the financial assets were included prior to their derecognition.

Where the clean price is used, interest on derivatives held for trading shall include the amounts related to those derivatives held for trading which qualify as “economic hedges” that are included as interest income or expenses to correct the income and expense of the hedged financial instruments from an economic but not accounting point of view. In such case, interest income on economic hedge derivatives shall be reported separately within interest income from trading derivatives. Time-apportioned fees or balancing payments in relation to credit derivatives measured at fair value and used to manage the credit risk of part or all of a financial instrument that is designated at fair value at that occasion shall also be reported within interest on derivatives held for trading.

194. Under IFRS, “Of which: interest-income on impaired financial assets” means interest income on credit-impaired financial assets, including purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets.

Each item of the breakdown shall be the net realised and unrealised amount (gains minus losses) of the underlying risk (interest rate, equity, foreign exchange, credit, commodity and other) associated with the exposure, including related derivatives. Gains and losses from exchange differences shall be included in the item in which the rest of gains and losses arising from the converted instrument are included. Gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities other than derivatives shall be included in the risk categories as follows:

(a)

interest rate: including trading of loans and advances, deposits and debt securities (held or issued);

17. NON-PERFORMING EXPOSURES (18)

17.1. Information on performing and non-performing exposures (18.0)

213. For the purposes of template 18, non-performing exposures shall be exposures that satisfy any of the following criteria:

(a)

material exposures which are more than 90 days past due;

(b)

the debtor is assessed as unlikely to pay his or her credit obligations in full without realisation of collateral, regardless of the existence of any past due amount or of the number of days past due.

214. The categorisation as non-performing exposures shall apply notwithstanding the classification of an exposure as defaulted for regulatory purposes in accordance with Article 178 CRR or as impaired for accounting purposes in accordance with the applicable accounting framework.

215. Exposures in respect of which a default is considered to have occurred in accordance with Article 178 CRR and exposures that have been found impaired in accordance with the applicable accounting framework shall always be considered as non-performing exposures. Under IFRS, for the purpose of template 18, impaired exposures shall be those that have been found credit-impaired (Stage 3), including purchased or originated credit-impaired assets reported in this stage in accordance with paragraph 77of this Part. Exposures included in impairment stages other than Stage 3 shall be considered as non-performing where they meet the criteria to be considered as non-performing.

216. Exposures shall be categorised for their entire amount and without taking into account the existence of any collateral. Materiality shall be assessed in accordance with Article 178 CRR.

217. For the purpose of template 18, “exposures” shall include all debt instruments (debt securities and loans and advances, including cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits) and off-balance sheet exposures, except those held for trading exposures.

218. Debt instruments shall be included in the following accounting portfolios: (a) debt instruments at cost or amortised cost; (b) debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or through equity subject to impairment; and (c) debt instruments at strict LOCOM or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment, in accordance with the criteria of paragraph 233 of this Part. Each category shall be broken down by instrument and by counterparty.

219. Under IFRS and relevant national GAAP based on BAD, off-balance sheet exposures shall comprise the following revocable and irrevocable items:

(a)

loan commitments given;

(b)

financial guarantees given;

(c)

other commitments given.

220. Debt instruments classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 shall be reported separately.

221. In template 18 for debt instruments, “gross carrying amount” as defined in paragraph 34of Part 1 of this Annex shall be reported. For off-balance sheet exposures, the nominal amount as defined in paragraph 118 of this Annex shall be reported.

222. For the purpose of template 18, an exposure is “past-due” where it meets the criteria of paragraph 96 of this Part.

223. For the purpose of template 18, “debtor” shall mean an obligor within the meaning of Article 178 CRR.

224. A commitment shall be considered as a non-performing exposure for its nominal amount where, drawn down or otherwise used, it would lead to exposures that present a risk of not being paid back in full without realisation of collateral.

225. Financial guarantees given shall be considered as non-performing exposures for their nominal amount where the financial guarantee is at risk of being called by the guaranteed party, including, in particular, where the underlying guaranteed exposure meets the criteria to be considered as non-performing, referred to in paragraph 213. Where the guaranteed party is past-due on the amount due under the financial guarantee contract, the reporting institution shall assess whether the resulting receivable meets the non-performing criteria.

226. Exposures classified as non-performing in accordance with paragraph 213 shall be categorised as either non-performing on an individual basis (“transaction based”) or as non-performing for the overall exposure to a given debtor (“debtor based”). For the categorisation of non-performing exposures on an individual basis or to a given debtor, the following categorisation approaches shall be used for the different types of non-performing exposures:

(a)

for non-performing exposures classified as defaulted in accordance with Article 178 CRR, the categorisation approach of that Article shall be applied;

(b)

for exposures that are classified as non-performing due to impairment under the applicable accounting framework, the recognition criteria for impairment under the applicable accounting framework shall be applied;

(c)

for other non-performing exposures that are neither classified as defaulted nor as impaired, the provisions of Article 178 CRR for defaulted exposures shall be applied.

227. Where an institution has on-balance sheet exposures to a debtor that are past due by more than 90 days and the gross carrying amount of the past due exposures represents more than 20 % of the gross carrying amount of all on-balance sheet exposures to that debtor, all on- and off-balance sheet exposures to that debtor shall be considered as non-performing. Where a debtor belongs to a group, the need to consider also exposures to other entities of the group as non-performing shall be assessed, where those exposures are not already considered as impaired or defaulted in accordance with Article 178 CRR, except for exposures affected by isolated disputes that are unrelated to the solvency of the counterparty.

228. Exposures shall be considered to have ceased being non-performing where all of the following conditions are met:

(a)

the exposure meets the exit criteria applied by the reporting institution for the discontinuation of the impairment and default classification according to the applicable accounting framework and Article 178 of the CRR respectively;

(b)

the situation of the debtor has improved to the extent that full repayment is likely to be made, either according to the original or to the modified conditions;

(c)

the debtor does not have any amount past-due by more than 90 days.

229. An exposure shall remain classified as non-performing as long as the conditions in points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 228 are not met, even where the exposure has already met the discontinuation criteria applied by the reporting institution for the impairment and default classification in accordance with the applicable accounting framework and Article 178 CRR respectively.

230. The classification of a non-performing exposure as non-current asset held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 shall not discontinue their classification as non-performing exposure.

231. Granting forbearance measures to a non-performing exposure shall not discontinue the non-performing status of this exposure. Where exposures are non-performing with forbearance measures, as referred to in paragraph 262, those exposures shall be considered to have ceased being non-performing where all the following conditions are met:

(a)

exposures are not considered to be impaired or defaulted by the reporting institution according to the applicable accounting framework and Article 178 of the CRR, respectively;

(b)

at least one year has passed since the date on which the forbearance measures were granted and the date on which the exposures were classified as non-performing, whichever is later;;

(c)

there is not, following the forbearance measures, any past-due amount or concern regarding the full repayment of the exposure according to the post-forbearance conditions. The absence of concerns shall be determined after an analysis of the debtor’s financial situation by the institution. Concerns may be considered as no longer existing where the debtor has paid, via its regular payments in accordance with the post-forbearance conditions, a total equal to the amount that was previously past-due (where there were past-due amounts) or that has been written-off (where there were no past-due amounts) under the forbearance measures or the debtor has otherwise demonstrated its ability to comply with the post-forbearance conditions.

The specific exit conditions referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) shall apply in addition to the criteria applied by reporting institutions for impaired and defaulted exposures according to the applicable accounting framework and Article 178 CRR, respectively.

232. Where the conditions referred to in paragraph 231 of this Part of this Annex are not met at the end of the one year period specified in point (b) of that paragraph, the exposure shall continue to be identified as non-performing forborne exposure until all conditions are met. The conditions shall be assessed at least on a quarterly basis.

233. The accounting portfolios under IFRS listed in paragraph 15 of Part 1 of this Annex and under relevant national GAAP based on BAD listed in paragraph 16 of Part 1 of this Annex shall be reported as follows in template 18:

236. Non-performing exposures shall be reported broken down by past due time bands. Exposures that are not past due or are past due by 90 days or less, but are nevertheless identified as non-performing due to the likelihood of non-full repayment, shall be reported in a dedicated column. Exposures that present both past due amounts and a likelihood of non-full repayment shall be allocated by past-due time bands consistent with the number of days that they are past due.

237. The following exposures shall be identified in separate columns:

(a)

exposures which are considered to be impaired in accordance with the applicable accounting framework; under IFRS, the amount of credit-impaired assets (Stage 3), including purchased or originated credit-impaired assets, shall be reported; under national GAAP, the amount of impaired assets shall be reported;

239. Information on collateral held and guarantees received on performing and non-performing exposures shall be reported separately. Amounts reported for collateral received and guarantees received shall be calculated in accordance with paragraphs 172 and 174of this Part. The sum of the amounts reported for both collateral and guarantees shall be capped at the carrying amount or nominal amount after deduction of provisions of the related exposure.

239ii. Inflows to the non-performing exposures category shall be reported on a cumulative basis since the beginning of the financial year. The inflow shall reflect the gross carrying amount of exposures that have become non-performing as defined in paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part during the period, including purchased non-performing exposures. An increase in the gross carrying amount of a non-performing exposure due to accrued interest or due to an increase in the accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk shall be reported as an inflow as well.

239iii. For an exposure that during the period has been reclassified multiple times from non-performing to performing or vice versa, the amount of inflows and outflows shall be identified based on a comparison between the status of the exposure (performing or non-performing) at the beginning of the financial year or at initial recognition and its status at the reporting reference date.

239iv. Outflows from the non-performing exposures category shall be reported on a cumulative basis since the beginning of the financial year. The outflow shall reflect the sum of the gross carrying amounts of exposures that cease to be non-performing during the period, and, where applicable, shall include the amount of write-offs made in the context of the partial or full derecognition of the exposure. A decrease in the gross carrying amount of a non-performing exposure due to interest paid or a decrease in the accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk shall be reported as an outflow as well.

239v. An outflow shall be reported in the following cases:

(a)

a non-performing exposure meets the criteria for ceasing to be classified as non-performing as laid out in paragraphs 228 – 232 of this Part and is reclassified as performing not forborne or performing forborne;

(b)

a non-performing exposure is partially or totally repaid; in case of partial repayment, only the repaid amount shall be classified as outflow;

(c)

collateral is liquidated, including outflows due to other liquidation or legal procedures, such as the liquidation of assets other than collateral obtained via legal procedures, and the voluntary sale of the collateral;

(d)

the institution takes possession of the collateral as referred in paragraph 175 of this Part including cases of debt asset swaps, voluntary surrenders and debt equity swaps;

(e)

a non-performing exposure is sold;

(f)

the risk pertaining to a non-performing exposure is transferred and the exposure meets the criteria to be derecognised;

(g)

a non-performing exposure is written-off partially or totally; in case of partial write-offs, only the written-off amount shall be classified as outflow;

(h)

a non-performing exposure, or parts of a non-performing exposure, ceases to be non-performing for other reasons.

239vi. The reclassification of a non-performing exposure from one accounting portfolio to another shall be reported neither as inflow nor as outflow. As an exception, the reclassification of a non-performing exposure from any accounting portfolio to “held for sale” shall be reported as outflow from the original accounting portfolio and inflow to “held for sale”.

239vii. The following exposures shall be identified in separate rows:

(a)

commercial real estate (CRE) loans as defined in paragraph 239ix, broken down into CRE loans to SMEs and CRE loans to non-financial corporations other than SMEs;

(b)

loans collateralised by immovable property as defined in paragraphs 86(a) and 87of this Part;

(c)

credit for consumption as defined in paragraph 88(a) of this Part.

17.3. Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans and additional information on loans secured by immovable property (18.2)

239viii. Template 18.2 shall present information on commercial real estate loans to non-financial corporations and on loans collateralised by commercial or residential immovable property to non-financial corporations and households respectively, broken down by loan to value ratio (LTV ratio). Loans and advances classified as held for trading, trading financial assets and debt instruments held for sale shall be excluded.

239ix. “Commercial real estate (CRE) loans” shall comprise exposures as defined in section 2, chapter 1, paragraph 1 of the ESRB Recommendation on closing real estate data gaps(8).

239x. The LTV ratio shall be calculated in accordance with the method for the calculation of the “current loan-to-value ratio” (LTV-C) laid down in section 2, chapter 1, paragraph 1 of the ESRB Recommendation on closing real estate data gaps.

239xi. Information on collateral received and financial guarantees received on loans shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 239of this Part. Consequently, the sum of the amounts reported for both collateral and guarantees shall be capped at the carrying amount of the related exposure.

18. FORBORNE EXPOSURES (19)

240. For the purpose of template 19, forborne exposures shall be debt contracts in respect of which forbearance measures have been applied. Forbearance measures consist of concessions towards a debtor that is experiencing or about to experience difficulties in meeting its financial commitments (“financial difficulties”).

241. For the purpose of template 19, a concession may entail a loss for the lender and shall refer to either of the following actions:

(a)

a modification of the terms and conditions of a contract that the debtor is considered unable to comply with due to his or her financial difficulties (“troubled debt”) resulting in insufficient debt service ability, and where that modification would not have been granted had the debtor not been experiencing financial difficulties;

(b)

a total or partial refinancing of a troubled debt contract, where that refinancing would not have been granted had the debtor not been experiencing financial difficulties.

242. Evidence of a concession shall include at least any of the following:

(a)

a difference in favour of the debtor between the modified terms of the contract and the pre-modified terms of the contract;

(b)

inclusion in a modified contract of more favourable terms than other debtors with a similar risk profile could have obtained from the same institution at the time of inclusion of those more favourable terms.

243. The exercise of clauses which, where used at the discretion of the debtor, enable the debtor to change the terms of the contract (“embedded forbearance clauses”) shall be treated as a concession where the institution approves executing those clauses and concludes that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.

244. For the purposes of Annexes III and IV as well as this Annex, “refinancing” shall mean the use of debt contracts to ensure the total or partial payment of other debt contracts the terms of which the debtor is unable to comply with.

245. For the purpose of template 19, “debtor” shall include all the legal entities in the debtor’s group which are within the accounting scope of consolidation and natural persons who control that group.

246. For the purpose of template 19, “debt” shall include loans and advances (including also cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits), debt securities and revocable and irrevocable loan commitments given, including those loan commitments that are designated at fair value through profit and loss that are assets at the reporting date. “Debt” shall exclude exposures held for trading.

247. “Debt” shall also include loans and advances and debt securities classified as non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5.

248. For the purposes of template 19, “exposure” shall have the same meaning as “debt” in paragraphs 246 and 247of this Part.

249. The accounting portfolios under IFRS listed in paragraph 15 of Part 1 of this Annex and under relevant national GAAP based on BAD listed in paragraph 16 of Part 1 of this Annex shall be reported in template 19 in accordance with paragraph 233 of this Part.

250. For the purposes of template 19, “institution” shall mean the institution, which applied the forbearance measures.

251. In template 19 for “debt”, the “gross carrying amount” shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 34 of Part 1 of this Annex. For loan commitments given which are off-balance sheet exposures, the nominal amount as defined in paragraph 118 of this Part of this Annex shall be reported.

252. Exposures shall be regarded as forborne where a concession has been made, irrespective of whether any amount is past due or of the classification of the exposures as impaired in accordance with the applicable accounting framework or as defaulted in accordance with Article 178 CRR. Exposures shall not be treated as forborne where the debtor is not in financial difficulties. Under IFRS, modified financial assets (IFRS 9.5.4.3 and Appendix A) shall be treated as forborne where a concession as defined in paragraphs 240 and 241 of this Part of this Annex has been made, regardless of the incidence of the modification on the change in the credit risk of the financial asset since initial recognition. Any of the following shall be treated as forbearance measures:

(a)

a modified contract that has been classified as non-performing before the modification or would in the absence of modification be classified as non-performing;

(b)

the modification that has been made to a contract involves a total or partial cancellation by write-offs of the debt;

(c)

the institution approves the use of embedded forbearance clauses for a debtor who is non-performing or who would be considered as non-performing without the use of those clauses;

(d)

simultaneously with or close in time to the concession of additional debt by the institution, the debtor made payments of principal or interest on another contract with the institution that was non-performing or would in the absence of refinancing be classified as non-performing.

253. A modification involving repayments made by taking possession of collateral shall be treated as a forbearance measure where that modification constitutes a concession.

254. There is a rebuttable presumption that forbearance has taken place in any of the following circumstances:

(a)

the modified contract was totally or partially past due more than 30 days (without being non-performing) at least once during the three months prior to its modification or would be more than 30 days past due, totally or partially, without modification;

(b)

simultaneously with or close in time to the concession of additional debt by the institution, the debtor made payments of principal or interest on another contract with the institution that was totally or partially past due by 30 days at least once during the three months prior to its refinancing;

(c)

the institution approves the use of embedded forbearance clauses for 30 days past due debtors or debtors who would be 30 days past due without the exercise of those clauses.

255. Financial difficulties shall be assessed at debtor level as referred to in paragraph 245. Only exposures to which forbearance measures have been applied shall be identified as forborne exposures.

256. Forborne exposures shall be included in the non-performing exposures category or the performing exposures category in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 and 260 of this Part. The classification as forborne exposure shall be discontinued where all of the following conditions are met:

(a)

the forborne exposure is considered to be performing, including where the exposure has been reclassified from the non-performing exposures category after an analysis of the financial condition of the debtor showed that it no longer met the conditions to be considered as non-performing;

(b)

a minimum two year period has passed from the date the forborne exposure was considered to be performing (“probation period”);

(c)

regular payments of more than an insignificant aggregate amount of principal or interest have been made during at least half of the probation period;

(d)

none of the exposures to the debtor is more than 30 days past due at the end of the probation period.

257. Where the conditions referred to in paragraph 256 are not met at the end of the probation period, the exposure shall continue to be identified as performing forborne under probation until all the conditions are met. The conditions shall be assessed at least on a quarterly basis.

258. Forborne exposures, which are classified as non-current assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, shall continue to be classified as forborne exposures.

259. A forborne exposure may be considered as performing from the date the forbearance measures were applied where both of the following conditions are met:

(a)

that extension has not led the exposure to be classified as non-performing;

(b)

the exposure was not considered to be a non-performing exposure at the date the forbearance measures were extended.

260. Where additional forbearance measures are applied to a performing forborne exposure under probation that has been reclassified out of non-performing category or the forborne exposure under probation reclassified out of non-performing category becomes more than 30 days past due, the exposure shall be classified as non-performing.

261. “Performing exposures with forbearance measures” (performing forborne exposures) shall comprise forborne exposures that do not meet the criteria to be considered as non-performing and that are included in the performing exposures category. Performing forborne exposures shall be under probation until the criteria laid down in paragraphs 256 and 259 of this Part are not met. Performing forborne exposures under probation that have been reclassified out of the non-performing exposures category shall be reported separately within the performing exposures with forbearance measures in the column “of which: Performing forborne exposures under probation reclassified from non-performing”.

262. “Non-performing exposures with forbearance measures” (non-performing forborne exposures) shall comprise forborne exposures that meet the criteria to be considered as non-performing and that are included in the non-performing exposures category. Those non-performing forborne exposures shall include the following:

(a)

exposures which have become non-performing due to the application of forbearance measures;

(b)

exposures which were non-performing prior to the extension of forbearance measures;

(c)

forborne exposures which have been reclassified from the performing category, including exposures reclassified in application of paragraph 260.

263. Where forbearance measures are extended to exposures which were non-performing prior to the extension of forbearance measures, the amount of those forborne exposures shall be separately identified in the column “of which: forbearance of exposures non-performing prior to forbearance measures”.

264. The following non-performing exposures with forbearance measures shall be identified in separate columns:

(a)

exposures which are considered, in accordance with the applicable accounting framework, to be impaired. Under IFRS, the amount of credit-impaired assets (Stage 3), including purchased or originated credit-impaired assets reported in this stage in accordance with paragraph 77 of this Part shall be reported in this column;

(b)

exposures in respect of which a default is considered to have occurred in accordance with Article 178 CRR.

265. The column “Refinancing” shall comprise the gross carrying amount of the new contract (“refinancing debt”) granted as part of a refinancing transaction which qualifies as a forbearance measure, as well as the gross carrying amount of the old re-paid contract that is still outstanding.

266. Forborne exposures combining modifications and refinancing shall be allocated to the column “Instruments with modifications of the terms and conditions” or the column “Refinancing”, depending on the measure that has the most impact on cash flows. Refinancing by a pool of banks shall be reported in the column “Refinancing” for the total amount of refinancing debt provided by or refinanced debt still outstanding at the reporting institution. Repackaging of several debts into a new debt shall be reported as a modification, unless there is also a refinancing transaction that has a larger impact on cash flows. Where forbearance through modification of the terms and conditions of a troubled exposure leads to that exposure’s derecognition and to the recognition of a new exposure, that new exposure shall be treated as forborne debt.

267. Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions shall be reported in accordance with paragraphs 11, 69 to 71, 106 and 110 of this Part.

268. Collateral and guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures shall be reported for all exposures with forbearance measures, regardless of their performing or non-performing status. In addition, collateral and financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures with forbearance measures shall be shown separately. Amounts reported for collateral received and guarantees received shall be calculated in accordance with paragraphs 172 and 174 of this Part. The sum of the amounts reported for both collateral and guarantees shall be capped at the carrying amount of the related on-balance sheet exposure or nominal amount after deduction of provisions of the related off-balance sheet exposure.

19. GEOGRAPHICAL BREAKDOWN (20)

269. Template 20 shall be reported where the institution exceeds the threshold described in point (4) of Article 5(a) of this Regulation.

19.1. Geographical breakdown by location of activities (20.1-20.3)

270. The geographical breakdown by location of the activities in templates 20.1 to 20.3 distinguishes between “domestic activities” and “non-domestic activities”. For the purposes of this Part, “location” shall mean the jurisdiction of incorporation of the legal entity which has recognised the corresponding asset or liability. For branches, it shall mean the jurisdiction of its residence. “Domestic” shall include the activities recognised in the Member State where the reporting institution is located.

19.2. Geographical breakdown by residence of the counterparty (20.4-20.7)

319. Template 23 presents additional information on loans and advances, excluding loans and advances classified as held for trading, trading financial assets and debt instruments held for sale.

320. For the purposes of determining the “number of instruments”, an instrument shall be understood as a banking product with an outstanding balance and, where applicable, a credit limit, typically being associated with an account. An exposure towards a specific counterparty can consist of multiple instruments. The number of instruments shall be determined based on the way the institution manages the exposure. The number of instruments shall be indicated separately for exposures in pre-litigation status and exposures in litigation status as defined in paragraphs 321 and 322 of this Part.

321. An exposure shall be “in pre-litigation status” where the debtor has been formally notified that the institution will take legal action against the debtor within a defined time period, unless certain contractual or other payment obligations are met. That shall also include cases where the contract has been terminated by the reporting institution because the debtor is in formal breach of the terms and conditions of the contract and the debtor has been notified accordingly, but no legal action against the debtor has formally been taken by the institution yet. Exposures classified as “in pre-litigation status” can exit this classification if the outstanding amounts are paid or if they enter into litigation status as defined in the following paragraph.

322. An exposure shall be “in litigation status” where legal action against the debtor has formally been taken. This comprises cases where a court of law confirmed that formal judiciary proceedings have occurred or the judiciary system has been notified of the intention to commence legal proceedings.

323. “Unsecured loans and advances without guarantees” refers to exposures for which neither collateral was pledged nor financial guarantees were received; the unsecured part of a partially secured or partially guaranteed exposure shall not be included.

324. Loans and advances with an accumulated coverage ratio of more than 90 % shall be reported separately. For that purpose, the “accumulated coverage ratio” shall be the ratio between the accumulated impairments, respectively the accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk related to a loan or advance as numerator, and the gross carrying amount of that loan or advance as denominator.

325. Loans collateralised by immovable property as defined in paragraphs 86(a) and 87 of this Part as well as commercial real estate loans as defined in paragraph 239ix of this Part shall be reported broken down by loan/collateral ratio (“loan-to-value” (LTV) ratio) as defined in paragraph 239x of this Part.

326. Information on collateral held and guarantees received on the loans and advances shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 239 of this Part. Consequently, the sum of the amounts reported for both collateral and guarantees shall be capped at the carrying amount of the related exposure. Immovable property pledged as collateral shall be reported separately in addition.

327. By way of derogation from the previous paragraph, “collateral received on loans and advances – uncapped amounts” shall reflect the full value of the collateral received without a cap at the carrying amount of the related exposure.

32. LOANS AND ADVANCES: FLOWS OF NON PERFORMING EXPOSURES, IMPAIRMENTS AND WRITE OFFS SINCE THE END OF THE LAST FINANCIAL YEAR (24)

32.1. Loans and advances: Inflows and outflows of non-performing exposures (24.1)

328. Template 24.1 shall provide a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of the stock of loans and advances, excluding loans and advances classified as trading financial assets, held for trading or as held for sale, that are classified as non-performing in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part and reported in template 18. Inflows and outflows of non-performing loans and advances shall be broken down by type of inflow or outflow.

329. Inflows to the category of non-performing exposures shall be reported in accordance with paragraphs 239ii to 239iii and 239vi of this Part, with the exception of inflows to the category “held for sale”, which are outside the scope of this template. Inflows shall be broken down by type (source) of inflow. In this context:

(a)

“Inflow due to accrued interest” shall represent interest accrued on non-performing loans and advances that have not been included in any of the other categories of the breakdown by type (source); in this regard, this inflow captures the interest accrued on non-performing loans and advances that were classified as non-performing at the end of the preceding financial year and have been continuously classified as such ever since; interest accrued on exposures that were classified as non-performing in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part only during the period shall be reported together with the inflow itself in the corresponding type (source) category;

(b)

“of which: reclassified from performing forborne exposures under probation previously reclassified from non-performing” shall include “performing forborne exposures under probation reclassified from non-performing”, as defined in paragraph 261 of this Part, that were reclassified again as non-performing in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part during the period;

(c)

“Inflow due to other reasons” shall capture inflows that cannot be linked to any of the other, specified sources of inflows and shall include, among others, increases in the gross carrying amount of non-performing exposures due to additional amounts disbursed during the period, the capitalisation of past due amounts including capitalised fees and expenses and changes in exchange rates related to non-performing loans and advances that were classified as non-performing at the end of the preceding financial year and have been continuously classified as such ever since.

330. The following exposures shall be reported in separate rows:

(a)

“Inflow more than once” shall comprise loans and advances that were reclassified multiple times from non-performing to performing or vice versa during the period;

(b)

“Inflow of exposures granted in the past 24 months” shall represent loans and advances that were granted in the 24 months prior to the reference date and that were classified as non-performing in accordance paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part during the period. Of these exposures, those granted during the period shall be reported separately in addition.

331. Outflows from the category of non-performing exposures shall be reported in accordance with paragraphs 239iii to 239vi of this Part, and be broken down by type (reason) of the outflow. In this context, “outflow due to write-offs” shall reflect the amount of write-offs made during the period that cannot be linked to any of the other specified outflow types and shall include also write-offs related to the total extinguishment of all the reporting institution’s rights by expiry of the statue-of-limitations period, forgiveness or other causes occurred during the period.

332. In those cases where an exposure is partially derecognised and the remaining part is reclassified as performing, the outflow pertaining to the reclassification and the outflow pertaining to the derecognition shall be reported as separate outflows. For outflows due to collateral liquidations, sale of exposures, risk transfers and taking possession of collateral, the net cumulated recoveries obtained shall be reported. If, at the moment of collateral liquidations, sale of exposures, risk transfers and taking possession of collateral, a write-off was made, that amount shall be reported as a part of the related outflow type.

333. “Net cumulated recoveries” shall mean (i) the amount of cash or cash equivalents collected, net of related costs, in the context of collateral liquidations, of the sale of exposures and of risk transfers, respectively (ii) the value at initial recognition as defined in paragraph 175i of this Part of the collateral obtained in the context of outflows due to taking possession of collateral.

334. The outflow pertaining to loans and advances that became non-performing during the period and afterwards ceased to meet the criteria for being classified as non-performing shall be reported separately.

32.2. Loans and advances: Flow of impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures (24.2)

335. Template 24.2 shall contain a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of the allowance accounts and the stock of accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that are or were classified as non-performing in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part.

336. “Increases during the period” shall comprise:

the stock, as of the reference date, of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that became non-performing during the period and are still classified as non-performing at the reporting reference date;

(b)

the stock, as of the derecognition date, of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that became non-performing during the period and were derecognised during the period; and

(c)

the increase of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that were classified as non-performing at the end of the preceding financial year and are either still classified as such at the reporting reference date or were derecognised during the period.

337. The part of the increase attributable to impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value booked against interest accrued shall be reported separately in addition.

338. “Decreases during the period” shall comprise:

(a)

the stock, as of the end of derecognition date, of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that ceased to be non-performing during the period and exited the institution’s portfolio during the period;

(b)

the stock, as of the reference date, of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that ceased to be non-performing during the period and are still not classified as non-performing at the reference date;

(c)

the stock, as of the reference date, of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that were reclassified as “held for sale” during the period; and

(d)

the decrease of accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk pertaining to loans and advances that were classified as non-performing at the end of the preceding financial year and are still classified as such at the reporting reference date.

(a)

the decrease attributable to the reversal of allowances and the reversal of negative changes in fair value due to credit risk;

(b)

the decrease attributable to the “unwinding” of discounts in the context of application of effective interest rate’s accounting method.

32.3. Loans and advances: Write-offs of non-performing exposures during the period (24.3)

340. Template 24.3 shall be used to report the write-offs as defined in paragraph 74 of this Part to the extent that they (i) were made during the period (inflows) and (ii) refer to loans and advances classified as non-performing in accordance with paragraphs 213 to 239 or 260 of this Part during the period, excluding loans and advances classified as held for trading, trading financial assets or held for sale. Both partial and total write-offs shall be reported. Of these write-offs, those attributable to the forfeiture of the right to legally recover an exposure, or part of it, shall be reported separately.

33. COLLATERAL OBTAINED BY TAKING POSSESSION AND EXECUTION PROCESSES (25)

341. “Collateral obtained by taking possession” shall include both assets that were pledged by the debtor as collateral and assets that were not pledged by the debtor as collateral, but were obtained in exchange for the cancellation of debt, whether on a voluntary basis or as part of legal proceedings.

33.1. Collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as Property Plant and Equipment (PP&E): inflows and outflows (25.1)

342. Template 25.1 shall be used to present the reconciliation of the opening balance, as of the beginning of the financial year, and the closing balance of the stock of collateral obtained by taking possession, other than collateral classified as property, plant and equipment (PP&E). In addition, the template shall provide information on the related “debt balance reduction” and the value at initial recognition of collateral obtained by taking possession.

343. “Debt balance reduction” shall mean the gross carrying amount of the exposure that was derecognised from the balance sheet in exchange for the collateral obtained by taking possession, at the exact moment of the exchange, and the related impairments and negative changes in fair value due to credit risk accumulated at that point in time. Where, at the moment of exchange, a write-off was made, that amount shall be considered part of the debt balance reduction as well. Derecognitions from the balance sheet due to other reasons, such as cash collections, shall not be reported.

344. “Value at initial recognition” shall have the same meaning as described in paragraph 175i of this Part.

345. With regard to the “inflows during the period”:

a)

the collateral obtained by taking possession shall include: (i) new collateral obtained by taking possession during the period (since the beginning of the financial year), irrespective of whether the collateral is still recognised in the institution’s balance sheet (held) at the reference date or not and (ii) positive changes in valuation of collateral during the period due to different reasons (such as positive changes in fair value, appreciation, reversal of impairment, changes of accounting policies). These types of inflows shall be reported separately in addition.

b)

the “debt balance reduction” shall reflect the debt balance reduction of the exposure derecognised related to the collateral that was obtained during the period.

346. With regard to the “outflows during the period”:

a)

the collateral obtained by taking possession shall include: (i) collateral sold for cash during the period; (ii) collateral sold with replacement by financial instruments during the period; and (iii) negative changes in valuation of collateral during the period due to different reasons (such as negative changes in fair value, depreciation, impairment, write-off, changes of accounting policies). Those types of outflows shall be reported separately. Where collateral is derecognised in exchange for both cash and financial instruments, the relevant amounts shall be split and allocated to the two outflow types. “Collateral sold with replacement by financial instruments” shall describe cases where the collateral is sold to a counterparty, and the acquisition by that counterparty is financed by the reporting institution.

b)

the “debt balance reduction” shall reflect the debt balance reduction of the exposure related to cases where the collateral was sold for cash or replaced by financial instruments during the period.

347. In case of a sale of collateral for cash, the “Outflow for which cash was collected” shall be equal to the sum of “Cash collected net of costs” and “Profits/(-) losses from sale of collateral obtained by taking possession”. “Cash collected net of costs” shall mean the amount of cash received net of transaction costs, such as fees and commissions paid to agents, transfer taxes and duties. “Profits/(-) losses from sale of collateral obtained by taking possession” shall mean the difference between the carrying amount of the collateral measured at the date of derecognition and the amount of cash received net of transaction costs. In case of replacement of collateral with financial instruments as described in paragraph 346 of this Part, the carrying amount of the financing granted shall be reported.

348. Collateral obtained by taking possession shall be reported broken down by “vintage” of the collateral, i.e. based on the period of time from which the collateral has been recognised in the institution’s balance sheet.

349. In the context of the presentation of collateral obtained by vintage, the “ageing” of collateral on the balance sheet, i.e. the migration between the predefined vintage buckets, shall be reported neither as inflow nor as outflow.

33.2. Collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as Property Plant and Equipment (PP&E) – Type of collateral obtained (25.2)

350. Template 25.2 shall include a breakdown of the collateral obtained by taking possession as defined in paragraphs 341 of this Part, by type of collateral obtained. The template reflects collateral recognised in the balance sheet at the reference date, irrespective of the point in time when it was obtained. In addition, the template provides information on the related “debt balance reduction” and “value at initial recognition” as defined in paragraphs 343 and 344 of this Part and on the number of collateral obtained by taking possession and recognised in the balance sheet at the reference date.

351. The type of collateral shall be the ones referred to in paragraph 173 of this Part with the exception of those in point (b) (i) of that paragraph.

352. With regard to collateral in the form of immovable property, the following information shall be reported in separate rows:

with regard to commercial immovable property, collateral in the form of land related to commercial real estate corporations, excluding agricultural land. Separate information on land with and without a planning permission shall be reported in addition.

33.3. Collateral obtained by taking possession classified as Property Plant and Equipment (PP&E) (25.3)

353. In template 25.3, information on collateral obtained by taking possession classified as Property Plant and Equipment (PP&E) shall be reported. In addition, the template shall provide information on the related “debt balance reduction” and “value at initial recognition” as defined in paragraphs 343 and 344 of this Part.

354. Information shall be provided on the stock of collateral as of the reference date, irrespective of the point in time it was obtained, and the inflows due to new collateral obtained by taking possession during the period between the beginning and the end of the reference period and that remains recognised in the balance sheet at the reference date. With regard to the “debt balance reduction”, the “total” shall reflect the debt balance reduction related to the collateral as of the reference date and the “inflows due to new collateral obtained by taking possession” shall reflect the debt balance reduction related to the collateral that was obtained during the period.

34. FORBEARANCE MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY OF FORBEARANCE (26)

355. Template 26 shall include detailed information on loans and advances classified as forborne in accordance with paragraphs 240 to 268 of this Part, excluding instruments classified as held for sale. Forborne exposures referring to either a modification of the previous terms and conditions or a total or partial refinancing of a troubled debt contract as defined in paragraph 241 of this Part shall be broken-down in more specific types of forbearance measures.

356. The “Number of instruments” shall be determined as defined in paragraph 320of this Part.

357. The gross carrying amount of exposures with forbearance measures shall be allocated to a category reflecting the type of forbearance measure. Where multiple forbearance measures have been applied to an exposure, the gross carrying amount of exposures with forbearance measures shall be allocated to the most relevant type of forbearance measure. The latter shall be identified based on the type of forbearance measure which has the highest impact on the Net Present Value (NPV) of the forborne exposure or by using any other methods considered applicable.

358. The types of forbearance measures shall be the following:

(a)

grace period/payment moratorium: temporary suspension of repayment obligations with regard to the principal or the interest, with repayments to be resumed at a later point in time;

(b)

interest rate reduction: permanent or temporary reduction of the interest rate (fixed or variable) to a fair and sustainable rate;

(c)

extension of maturity/term: extension of the maturity of the exposure, entailing a reduction in instalment amounts by spreading the repayments over a longer period;

(d)

rescheduled payments: adjustment of the contractual repayment schedule with or without changes to instalment amounts, other than grace periods/payment moratorium, extension of maturity/term and debt forgiveness. That category shall include, among others, capitalisation of arrears and/or accrued interest arrears to the outstanding principal balance for repayment under a sustainable, rescheduled programme; decrease of the amount of principal repayment instalments over a defined period, regardless of whether interests remain to be paid in full or whether they are capitalised or forfeited;

(e)

debt forgiveness: partial cancellation of the exposure by the reporting institution through forfeiture of right to legally recover it;

(f)

debt asset swaps: partial replacement of exposures in the form of debt instruments with assets or equity;

(g)

other forbearance measures, including among others, total or partial refinancing of a troubled debt contract.

359. Where the forbearance measure affects the gross carrying amount of an exposure, the gross carrying amount at the reference date, i.e. after application of the forbearance measure, shall be reported. In the case of refinancing, the gross carrying amount of the new contract (“refinancing debt”) granted which qualifies as a forbearance measure, as well as the gross carrying amount of the old re-paid contract that is still outstanding shall be reported.

360. The following items shall be reported in separate rows:

(a)

Instruments that were subject to forbearance measures at multiple points in time, where:

(i)

‘Loans and advances having been forborne “twice” and “more than twice” shall mean exposures classified as forborne in accordance with paragraphs 240 to 268 of this Part at the reporting reference date, to which forbearance measures have been applied at two, respectively more than two different points in time. That includes, among others, originally forborne exposures that exited the forborne status (cured forborne exposures), but were granted new forbearance measures after that;

(ii)

“Loans and advances to which forbearance measures were granted in addition to already existing forbearance measures” shall mean forborne exposures under probation to which forbearance measures were applied in addition to forbearance measures granted at an earlier point in time, without the exposure having cured in between.

(b)

Non-performing forborne exposures that failed to meet the non-performing exit criteria. That shall comprise non-performing forborne exposures that failed to meet the conditions for ceasing to be non-performing as described in paragraph 232 of this Part at the end of the probation period of 1 year specified in paragraph 231 (b) of this Part.

Non-performing exposures that are not past due shall be considered as being zero days past due in this calculation. Exposures shall be weighted by the gross carrying amount measured at the reference date. The weighted average time since past due date shall be expressed in years (with decimals).

364. The following information on the results of litigation procedures on non-performing loans and advances concluded during the period shall be reported:

(a)
