When the Manager, on a sufficiently reasoned and founded basis, decides to hire an independent company to keep its accounting, the Manager will define the profile of the company that will keep its records, which must be available to the Superintendence for its review; likewise, the Superintendence may carry out the respective inspection of the contracted company's computer systems to verify that they comply with the parameters established in this Manual and other applicable accounting provisions. This requirement will be applicable even when the accounting service is provided by a company of the same business group or financial conglomerate of the Manager, because it is an outsourcing activity. Said company must ensure that it has the capacity to keep the Manager's accounting separately.

5. MODIFICATION OF THE MANUAL The coding and openings established in this Manual must be respected in their entirety; therefore, no new elements, items, accounts, primary sub-accounts, and secondary sub-accounts different from those already established may be opened. Analytical sub-sub-accounts may be added after the ninth (9th) digit, provided that they correspond to the nature of the account from which they originate and to the degree and detail they consider necessary for better recording and control of their operations. When any operation or transaction not provided for in this Manual originates, Managers must communicate this to the Central Bank and the Superintendence, attaching the accounting criteria they intend to use. Along with the proposal for accounting treatment, as well as the accounts to be used, they will describe the transaction or event, indicating its quantitative impact on the Financial Statements and the reasons that, in the judgment of the competent administrative body, justify the proposed treatment. The Superintendence will analyze the proposal and if the operation refers to a topic of application of the Accounting Manual, it will give a prompt response, sending a copy to the Central Bank; and if it is a topic of modification of the Manual, the proposed accounting application, if appropriate, will be approved by the Committee of Standards of the Central Bank. Prior to the agreement of the Committee of Standards, Managers must temporarily account for the operation or transaction in one of the "others" sub-accounts of the account proposed to be modified, and when the Central Bank agrees to approve the change to the Manual, the Manager must make the necessary adjustments, transferring the transaction from the account in which it was temporarily recorded to the corresponding approved one.

10. INTERNAL CONTROL APPLIED TO ACCOUNTING RECORDS

The Manager will establish internal control systems directed to reasonably ensure the reliability of accounting records, as well as the correct integration of operations.

The internal control system may contain aspects such as: a) Accounting records with the necessary detail of the characteristics of assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses, so that all the information contained in the different statements to be submitted can be clearly derived from them, which will maintain the necessary correlation both among themselves, when appropriate, and with the accounting basis; b) Auxiliary detail of the composition of the balance of each of the accounting sub-accounts, in order to have an adequate integration of the records; c) Inventory or details of the different items, independently of the books of an obligatory nature required by Salvadoran legislation; and d) Independently of the accounts that are specified to form the Financial Statements, the details deemed necessary for the preparation of the rest of the complementary informative statements will be established, also developing an analytical accounting that provides sufficient information for the calculation of costs and returns of the different centers, business lines, or other aspects of interest for adequate management control.

11. REGISTRATION AND ARCHIVING OF ACCOUNTING DOCUMENTATION

The operations that are registered in the books mentioned in numeral 9 must be backed by the corresponding documentation and comply with what is established in the Commercial Code. Such operations will be entered as they are carried out, this without prejudice to the sanctions, fines, and others that the Managers may incur for such delays in accordance with the applicable legal norms.

The Manager must archive the documentation that backs up its operations, in chronological order, including the Financial Statements that are prepared monthly and the Trial Balances.

The Manager is obliged to conserve the records of its business in general as well as its Financial Statements, according to the deadlines established in Art. 451 of the Commercial Code.

12. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF ACCOUNTING

Accounting will be governed according to the following precedence: a) Salvadoran legislation that establishes specific accounting treatments; b) Accounting standards issued by the Central Bank; and

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 14 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

c) International Financial Reporting Standards, provided that they develop topics for which there is no Salvadoran regulation.

When the Manager applies International Financial Reporting Standards, they will use those issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), translated into Spanish, 2013 version, and in accordance with what is established in letter c) of this numeral.

When international standards provide different treatments for the same economic event, the Manager will use the most prudent treatment among those established in said Standards.

When the IASB approves new IFRS or modifies the 2013 version, these cannot be applied by the Manager unless the Central Bank so indicates.

Accounting will be developed applying the accounting criteria and fundamental characteristics indicated below:

12.1. Fair Presentation

Financial Statements must be drafted clearly, so that the information provided is understandable and useful for users in making their economic decisions, and must represent the fair image of the phenomena it intends to materialize, the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Manager, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions.

The systematic and regular application of the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in the following subsections must lead to the Financial Statements representing the fair image of the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Manager. To this effect, in the accounting of operations, attention will be paid to their economic reality and not only to their legal form.

When it is considered that compliance with the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in this Manual is not sufficient to represent the fair image, the complementary information necessary to achieve this objective will be provided in the notes to the Financial Statements.

In those exceptional cases where such compliance would be incompatible with the fair image that Financial Statements must provide, such application will be considered inappropriate.

In such cases, in the notes to the Financial Statements, this circumstance will be sufficiently reasoned and its influence on the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Manager will be explained.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 15 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

12.2. Requirements of the Information to be Included in Financial Statements

The information included in the Financial Statements must be relevant and reliable.

Information is relevant when it is useful for making economic decisions, that is, when it helps to evaluate past, present, or future events, or to confirm or correct evaluations made previously. In particular, to meet this requirement, Financial Statements must adequately show the risks to which the Manager is exposed.

Information is reliable when it is free from material errors and is neutral, that is, it is free from bias, and users can trust that it is the fair image of what it intends to represent.

A quality derived from reliability is completeness, which is achieved when financial information contains, in a complete manner, all the data that can influence decision-making, without any omission of significant information.

Additionally, financial information must meet the qualities of comparability and clarity.

Comparability is the quality that financial information has to be able to compare it over time. Information will be formulated with related criteria of identification, valuation, registration, and presentation that allow the possibility of comparing the financial situation, the results achieved, and the compliance with legal provisions of the Manager in different periods or with other similar Managers, with the purpose of facilitating the analysis, evaluation, supervision, and audit of management and adequate accountability.

On the other hand, clarity implies that, based on a reasonable knowledge of economic activities, accounting, and corporate finance, users of Financial Statements, through a diligent examination of the information provided, can form judgments that facilitate decision-making.

12.3. Accounting Principles

The Manager's accounting and, in particular, the registration and valuation of the elements of the Financial Statements, will be developed by obligatorily applying the accounting principles and fundamental hypotheses indicated below:

12.3.1. Going Concern

The management of the entity will be considered indefinite. Financial Statements must be prepared based on the going concern hypothesis. Consequently, the application of the principles

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 16 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

accounting will not be aimed at determining the value of equity for the purpose of its global or partial alienation nor the resulting amount in case of liquidation.

If Financial Statements are not prepared on the basis of going concern, such circumstance must be revealed along with the alternative criteria that have been used and the reasons why the Manager cannot be considered a going concern. Such revelation will also take into account what is provided in the technical standard that will be issued on the merger and liquidation of Investment Fund Managers.

12.3.2. Accrual

The effects of transactions or economic events will be recorded when they occur, attributing to the exercise to which the annual Financial Statements refer, the expenses and income that affect it, regardless of the date of their payment or collection.

12.3.3. Uniformity

Once a criterion has been adopted in the application of the Accounting Principles within the alternatives that, in their case, allow it, it must be maintained over time as long as the assumptions that motivated the choice of said criterion are not altered.

If for justified cause these change, the affected Financial Statements will be accompanied by an explanatory note that allows appreciating the origin of the new criteria and their quantitative and qualitative effect on equity, results, and total assets. Likewise, such changes and their effects will be recorded in the notes to the Financial Statements.

12.3.4. Prudence

It will prevail over any other principle in case of conflict. Prudence must be exercised in the estimates and valuations to be made under conditions of uncertainty.

Prudence does not justify that the valuation of equity elements does not respond to the fair image that Financial Statements must reflect.

Likewise, benefits obtained up to the closing date of the exercise will be accounted for. On the contrary, all risks, originating in the exercise or in a previous one, must be taken into account as soon as they are known, even if they are only known between the closing date of the annual Financial Statements and the date on which they are formulated. In such cases, full information will be given in the notes to the Financial Statements, without prejudice to its reflection, when a liability and an expense have been generated, in other documents comprising the annual Financial Statements.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 17 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

Therefore, it is necessary to include a certain degree of caution in the exercise of judgments necessary to make the estimates required under conditions of uncertainty.

Depreciations and value corrections for impairment of assets must be taken into account, whether the exercise ends with a profit or a loss.

Exceptionally, if risks were known between the preparation and before the approval of the Financial Statements and significantly affect the fair image, the Financial Statements must be prepared again.

12.3.5. Non-Compensation

In no case can items of assets and liabilities of the Balance Sheet, nor those of expenses and income of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, be offset, unless IFRS specifically allow or require it, which must be reported to the Superintendence. When this happens, it must be revealed in a note to the Financial Statements.

12.3.6. Materiality

Each item that has sufficient relative importance must be presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of insignificant amounts must appear grouped with others of similar nature or function, provided that they must not be presented separately.

The strict application of some of the accounting principles and criteria will be admitted when the relative importance in quantitative or qualitative terms of the variation that such fact produces is scarcely significant and, consequently, does not alter the expression of the fair image.

In cases of conflict between accounting principles, the one that best leads to the Financial Statements expressing the fair image of the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Manager must prevail.

For the purposes of this Section, by cash and cash equivalents, the following will be understood: a) Cash: the available in cash and demand bank deposits; and b) Cash Equivalents: short-term investments of high liquidity that are easily convertible into determined amounts of cash, are used to meet payment commitments, and have an insignificant risk of changes in their value. Their maturity is less than or equal to ninety (90) calendar days from the date of acquisition.

The criteria that define cash equivalents are the following: a) The investments are short-term; b) They are investments of high liquidity; c) They are easily convertible into determined amounts of cash; d) They are subject to a not significant risk of changes in their value; and e) Financial instruments are held to meet short-term payment commitments rather than for investment purposes.

4. RECOGNITION

Items of cash and cash equivalents will be recognized by the Manager in accordance with what is indicated in Section 2 "Financial Instruments".

5. MEASUREMENT

Cash will be measured at the date of its initial recognition at its fair value, that is, its cash amount received and subsequently, at its amortized cost, understood as the initial amount plus yields minus amortizations, minus charges for services or others that apply and that affect the initially recognized amount either by increasing or decreasing it.

Cash equivalents will be measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of those that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the transaction costs incurred on the date of their acquisition.

Subsequently, they will be measured based on amortized cost or fair value, whichever applies, taking into consideration the business model established by management for such instruments and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.

On the other hand, financial items denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the prevailing purchase exchange rate on the date of the Financial Statements. A foreign currency will be understood as a currency different from the Manager's business currency.

6. PRESENTATION

Cash and cash equivalents are presented by the amounts that represent their fair values or amortized costs, depending on the measurement applied to them.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 20 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

a) Financial Assets: any asset that is cash, an equity instrument of another company, or implies a right to receive cash or another financial asset; or to exchange financial assets and liabilities with third parties under favorable conditions and any contract that can be settled with equity instruments; b) Conventional Purchase or Sale of a Financial Asset: is the purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract or agreement, the terms of which require its delivery within the time generally established by regulation or convention in the relevant market where the transaction has taken place. The settlements of these contracts or agreements will be carried out gross, not allowing or requiring the net settlement of the change in value in the contract; c) Amortized Cost of a Financial Asset or a Financial Liability: is the initial measure of said asset or liability minus principal repayments, plus or minus the accumulated amortization -calculated with the effective interest rate method- of any difference between the initial amount and the repayment value at maturity and minus any decrease for impairment or uncollectibility that has been recognized directly or through the use of a contra account; d) Financial Instrument: is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and to a financial liability or an equity instrument in another entity; e) Trade Date Method: method consisting of recognizing or derecognizing a financial asset on the date that the Manager agrees to buy or sell it; f) Effective Interest Rate Method: is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability or a group of financial assets or liabilities and of attributing financial income or expense over the relevant period; g) Financial Liability: is any liability that implies a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset; or to exchange financial assets or liabilities with third parties under conditions that are potentially unfavorable and any contract that can be settled with equity instruments; h) Continuing Relationship in Assets: if a Manager does not transfer or retain substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of a transferred asset and retains control over it, it will continue to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement; i) Effective Interest Rate: is the discount rate that equates the book value of a financial instrument with the sum of the estimated cash flows over the expected life of the instrument discounted at this rate, based on its contractual conditions and without considering future credit risk losses; j) Ordered, Arranged, or Organized Transaction: is a transaction that assumes exposures in the market for a period prior to the measurement date, including usual and customary trading activities for transactions that incorporate such assets or liabilities. The above does not refer to a forced transaction such as, for example, a forced liquidation or a sale under financial difficulties; and

k) Fair Value: is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, individuals who participate freely and independently, at the measurement date.

4. INITIAL RECOGNITION The Manager will recognize a financial asset or a financial liability in its Balance Sheet only when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Conventional purchases or sales of financial assets will be recognized applying the trade date method.

5. RECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS APPLYING THE TRADE DATE METHOD The trade date method requires the Manager to apply the following: a) In the case of a purchase, to recognize the asset to be received and the liability to be paid for it on the trade date; and b) In the case of a sale, to derecognize the sold asset against the corresponding receivable account and recognize the gain or loss on the derecognized asset on the trade date. Changes in the fair value of a financial asset sold conventionally are not recorded in the Financial Statements between the trade date and the settlement date even if the entity applies settlement date accounting because the seller's right regarding changes in fair value ceases on the trade date. Interest does not begin to accrue or be earned on the acquired asset and the corresponding liability until the settlement date, when the title is transferred.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS The Manager must classify its financial assets at the date it first recognizes them, taking into account the following: a) The basis or objective of the business model for managing financial assets; and b) The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset. Having determined the above, the Manager will classify financial assets, according to their subsequent measurement, at amortized cost or at fair value, the latter taken from any of the sources established in paragraph 12 of this Section.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 22 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if the following two conditions are met: a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to obtain contractual cash flows; and b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

7. CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES The Manager must classify its financial liabilities, when first recognized, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, applying the effective interest rate method, except for the following financial liabilities: a) Financial liabilities classified mandatorily at fair value with changes in profit or loss, which shall subsequently be measured at their fair value; b) Financial liabilities that originate when the transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, which shall be recognized at an amount equal to the consideration received; and c) Financial liabilities that originate from a continuing involvement in assets, which shall be measured on a basis that reflects the obligations that the Manager has retained or assumed. The associated liability is measured in such a way that the net amount of the transferred asset and the net amount of the associated liability is: i. The amortized cost of the rights and obligations retained by the Manager, if the asset is measured at amortized cost; or ii. Equal to the fair value of the rights and obligations retained by the Manager, when measured independently, if the transferred asset is measured at fair value.

8. RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS When the Manager changes its business model or the objective of business for the management of its financial assets, it will reclassify all affected financial assets in accordance with paragraph 6 of this Section. If the Manager reclassifies financial assets in accordance with the first paragraph of this paragraph, it will apply such reclassification prospectively from the date on which it is made. The Manager will not restate previously recognized gains, losses, or interest. If in accordance with the first paragraph of this paragraph, the Manager reclassifies a financial asset in such a way that it is subsequently measured at fair value, this value will be determined on the date of reclassification. Any gain or loss arising from differences between the previous book amount and the fair value will be recognized in profit or loss. If in accordance with the first paragraph of this paragraph, the Manager reclassifies a financial asset in such a way that it is subsequently measured at amortized cost, its fair value on the date of reclassification will become its new book amount. The date of reclassification of financial assets occurs on the first day of the next accounting period following the one in which the Manager decided to change its business model.

9. INITIAL MEASUREMENT When a financial asset or a financial liability is initially recognized, they shall be measured at their fair value. When financial instruments are initially recorded other than at fair value, transaction costs directly related to their acquisition shall be added to or subtracted from, respectively. If it turns out that the fair value of the acquired financial asset or liability differs from the transaction price, then the Manager will proceed to recognize the difference between the fair value on the date of its initial recognition and the transaction price as follows: a) If that fair value is obtained with a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or is based on methodologies that use only observable market data, the Manager will recognize the difference as a gain or loss; and b) In other cases, to defer the difference between the fair value at the time of initial recognition and the transaction price. After initial recognition, the Manager will recognize that deferred difference as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor, including time, that market participants would take into account when setting the price of the asset or liability. When the subsequent measurement of the financial asset is at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income or amortized cost, transaction costs directly related to its acquisition shall be added. When the subsequent measurement of the financial liability is at amortized cost, transaction costs directly related to the issuance or assumption of the financial liability shall be subtracted.

10. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS Financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value after recognition shall be classified as: a) Financial assets held for trading: comprises financial instruments acquired and managed within a business model that reflects active and frequent purchases and sales and whose purpose is to generate short-term gains from price fluctuations or from trading margins. The effects of changes in fair value are taken directly to profit or loss; and b) Equity instruments with changes in fair value presented in other comprehensive income: equity instruments that the entity has chosen, on a per-share basis, irrevocably from their initial recognition, to present subsequent changes in the fair value of those, which are within the scope of this Section and are not held for trading, in other comprehensive income. The amounts presented in other comprehensive income will not be transferred subsequently to profit or loss. Realized gains or losses will be transferred to profit or loss for application. Financial assets for which there is an objective, according to the Manager's business model, to recover their contractual cash flows of capital and interest, shall be subsequently measured at amortized cost after recognition, using the effective interest rate method.

11. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities shall be carried out as defined in paragraph 7 of this Section.

12. OBTAINING FAIR VALUE For the purpose of establishing the measurement of financial instruments, the Manager must obtain the respective prices from the following sources: a) In the case of financial instruments of local issuers, the prices provided by a specialized securities valuation agent; b) In the case of financial instruments of foreign issuers, the prices provided by a specialized securities valuation agent or an international stock or financial information system recognized by the Superintendency; and c) Regarding financial instruments whose prices cannot be obtained from any of the sources cited above, the Manager may define its own methodology for the valuation of such instruments, which must be available at any time for the Superintendency.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 24 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

For the purpose of recognition of international stock or financial information systems, this shall be carried out in accordance with the technical standards that the Central Bank issues for such effect.

13. IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENTS CLASSIFIED AT AMORTIZED COST 13.1. Identification The evaluation of these financial assets, for the purpose of identifying whether any impairment loss has occurred, shall be carried out as follows: a) If the financial assets have a price provided by any of the sources cited in letters a) and b) of paragraph 12, that price will be the fair value that will be compared with the book value, to determine if there is any impairment loss. If the instrument's price presents fluctuations that correspond only to normal market conditions, then the book value is not adjusted; and b) For financial assets for which it is not possible to obtain a price from the sources defined in letters a) and b) of the previous paragraph 12, the Manager must establish in its financial policies the necessary methodology to determine if an impairment loss has occurred or is expected to occur based on the expectation of credit risk incorporated in such instruments, as well as the elements that allow determining the amount of the incurred or expected impairment loss or of the future flows that are expected to be recovered or lost. In any case, such policies must incorporate the obligation to evaluate financial assets held at amortized cost whenever there is evidence or indications that some impairment has occurred in these assets or to carry out at least an annual evaluation at the end of each accounting period, whichever occurs first, leaving it duly documented as evidence of having been carried out and in compliance with the policies established by the Administration.

13.2. Causes In accordance with what is established in paragraph 13.1, impairment losses of a financial asset measured at amortized cost shall be comprised of: a) The impairment loss originating from objective evidence of events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that indicate that an impairment loss has occurred; plus b) The amount of expected losses in the portfolio, which exceeds the amount constituted according to the previous letter, whose estimates will be based on the qualitative and quantitative criteria incorporated in the methodology that the Manager has developed for the calculation of such loss estimates.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 25 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

The estimates recognized in the Balance Sheet must be equal to or greater than the expected losses and these cannot be less than the incurred losses.

13.3. Examples With respect to letter a) of paragraph 13.2, examples of events that indicate or may indicate that a value loss has occurred are the following: a) Financial difficulties of the issuer or the obligor; b) Defaults on contractual clauses, such as non-payment or delays in the payment of interest or principal; c) Concessions or advantages granted by the entity to the debtor, which is the issuer of the instrument under evaluation, for economic or legal reasons related to its financial difficulties, which it would not have granted otherwise; d) Increased probability that the debtor falls into a situation of insolvency or liquidation or in any other situation of financial reorganization; e) The disappearance of an active market for the financial instruments in question, due to financial difficulties; and f) Observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows in a group of financial instruments since the initial recognition of those even though the decrease cannot yet be identified with individual assets of that group of assets. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and such decrement can be objectively related to an event occurring after the accounting recognition of the impairment, it must be reversed. The reversal will not give rise to a book amount of the financial asset that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined if the impairment loss had not been accounted for on the date of reversal. The amount of the reversal will be recognized in the result of the period.

14. DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS The Manager shall derecognize a financial asset, or a portion of it, when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or the financial asset is transferred and the transfer meets the requirements for derecognition. It will be considered that the Manager has transferred a financial asset if it has transferred or retained the contractual rights to receive cash flows from a financial asset, but assumes the contractual obligation to pay them to one or more buyers of the transferred asset. In the latter case, it will be assumed that the Manager has transferred the asset if the following three conditions are met:

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 26 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

a) The Manager is not obligated to pay any amount to eventual buyers, unless it collects equivalent amounts from the original asset. Short-term advances made by the Manager, with the right to recovery of the total amount plus interest accumulated at market rates, do not violate this condition; b) The Manager is prohibited, according to the conditions of the transfer contract, from selling or pledging the original asset, except as security for payment of the cash flows committed to eventual buyers; and c) The Manager is obligated to remit, without significant delay, any cash flow that it collects on behalf of the eventual buyers. Furthermore, the Manager is not authorized to reinvest the cash flows. Upon derecognizing a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the book amount determined on the date the financial asset is derecognized and the sum of the benefits received including any new financial asset obtained minus any new liability assumed will be recognized in the results. If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset and the transferred part meets the requirements for derecognition in its entirety, the original book amount of the larger financial asset will be distributed between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that has been derecognized, based on the relative fair values of said parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between: a) The book amount measured on the date of derecognition attributable to the part that has been derecognized; and b) The consideration received for the part derecognized including the new assets obtained minus the new liabilities assumed, will be recognized in the result of the period.

15. FINANCIAL ASSETS MANAGED UNDER A BUSINESS MODEL OF ACTIVE AND FREQUENT PURCHASES AND SALES 15.1. Special Conditions Financial assets under a business model that reflects active and frequent purchases and sales and whose purpose is to generate short-term gains from price fluctuations or from trading margins, must meet the basic requirements described below: a) There must be a clearly documented trading strategy for financial assets, approved by the competent authority, in accordance with the Manager's policies; b) There must be clearly defined policies and procedures for the active management of the position, to ensure that:

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 27 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015

i. Positions are managed by a trading team; ii. Limits are set on positions and monitored to check their adequacy; and iii. The personnel in charge of trading must have autonomy to take or manage positions within the agreed limits and respecting the agreed strategy; c) Positions must be valued daily; consequently, the classifications of financial assets in this model require that they have price quotations in an active market; d) The Manager must indicate which of the sources provided in paragraph 12 is the provider of the market price and in case that the same source provides a diversity of prices on the same instrument, the Manager must indicate which price of the available ones it has taken; e) The Manager must include in its risk management policy the sources provided in paragraph 12, the one applicable, for the determination of prices of its investment portfolio. In the case that the same source used provides various prices for the same instrument, the Manager must define, within the indicated policies, the prices it will use to establish the value of the portfolio and the reasons that have defined such selection; f) The Manager will incorporate in its financial or risk management policies the criteria that will define whether a price fluctuation in the market is normal or not; g) The Board of Directors will be informed of the positions held as an integral part of the risk management process; h) Active monitoring of positions with reference to market information sources will be carried out; and l) Monitoring of the volume of operations and of the expired positions in the Manager's trading portfolio will be carried out.

15.2. Recording of Changes in Fair Value Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value shall be included in the net gain or loss of the period. Book applications shall be made on each Balance Sheet date or at least monthly, whichever occurs first.

15.3. Exchange Differences Gains or losses arising from exchange rate differences in monetary or non-monetary financial assets and which are denominated in foreign currency and have not been

16. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE WITH CHANGES IN OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The financial assets that will be classified in this subcategory are equity instruments, which the entity, from initial recognition, has irrevocably chosen to present subsequent changes in the fair value of such instruments in other comprehensive income. Dividends from these investments shall be recognized in results when the entity's right to receive payment of the dividend is established, unless they, in an evident manner, represent a partial recovery of the investment cost.

16.1. Exchange Differences The gain or loss from exchange rates recognized in equity instruments that the entity chooses irrevocably to present their changes in other comprehensive income, will also be presented in said account.

17. FINANCIAL ASSETS MANAGED UNDER A BUSINESS MODEL WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO RECOVER THE CAPITAL AND INTEREST FLOWS FROM THEM

17.1. Recording of Gains or Losses of Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost Changes in the value of financial assets managed under a business model whose objective is to recover contractual cash flows of capital and interest, shall not be recognized, unless they indicate that the asset has been impaired and such effect requires the correction of the book value. Additionally, the book value of the financial asset will be affected by the amount of the expected loss established by the Manager that exceeds the amount of the incurred loss. For those financial assets that are measured at their amortized cost, a gain or loss in the net results of the period shall be recognized for the amortization process, for impairment that will include estimates of expected losses constituted, when they cause derecognition or when they are reclassified according to the first paragraph of paragraph 8 of this Section.

18. PRESENTATION Items shall be presented according to their economic form rather than their legal form and for their identification, they are grouped into the concepts enabled for their registration within the Chart of Accounts developed for this purpose. A financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset, so that their net amount is presented in the Balance Sheet, only when the Manager: a) Has the currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and b) Has the intention to settle for the net amount, or to realize the asset and cancel the liability simultaneously. In the accounting of a transfer of a financial asset that does not meet the conditions for derecognition, the Manager shall not offset the transferred asset with the associated liability.

SECTION 3 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish the accounting criteria to be applied for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial derivative instrument contracts acquired by the Manager that have the exclusive purpose of risk management through hedge accounting.

2. SCOPE This Section applies to financial derivative instrument contracts that are acquired for the purpose of risk management and whose underlying assets are of the type interest rate, exchange rate, debt financial instruments, equity instruments, among others. The basic financial derivative instruments that can be used to comply with what is stipulated in this Section are, for example: a) Forward contracts; b) Futures contracts; c) Basic options contracts; and d) Financial swap contracts or interest rate or currency swaps.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 31 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015 Furthermore, such instruments are acquired for the purpose of managing financial risks; it is foreseen that they, on retrospective evaluation dates, might cease to meet the essential requirements for designation as a financial risk hedging item, which will not imply that they are removed from the scope of this Section.

3. DEFINITION A derivative is a financial instrument that presents the following characteristics: a) Its value changes in response to changes in an observable market variable, such as the interest rate, exchange rate, price of a financial instrument, or a market index, including credit ratings; b) Its net initial investment is zero or very small in relation to other contracts with a similar response to changes in market conditions; and c) It is settled at a future date.

4. BASIC CRITERIA THAT MUST BE OBSERVED TO ACQUIRE FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Manager must enter into a negotiation of financial derivative instruments only if it knows one hundred percent how the instruments work and has the necessary means for their recognition, valuation, measurement, and capacity to ensure compliance with the criterion taken to value the instrument to be acquired. If the above is not met, it shall not enter into negotiations of such instruments. The verification of the valuations of the instruments must be performed by the acquiring Manager. To ensure compliance with this criterion, what is established in the previous paragraph must be met, such that the price provided by the issuer entity of the instrument can be verified internally through the application of independent financial tools. Financial derivative instruments must be acquired solely for the management of financial risks, and Managers must implement strict risk management policies that expressly indicate the types of instruments that will be contracted in accordance with what is provided in this Section and for what purposes the same will be acquired, which cannot be for purposes other than the mitigation of their assumed risks. Financial derivative instruments must be acquired only if the Manager proves, for the purposes of managing its risks, that the risk exposure intended to be covered is appropriately compensated by the value changes of the intended hedging item, for this purpose, the Manager must establish a methodology that allows it to develop the relevant evaluation

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 32 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015 pertinently, through which to conclude whether the intended operation meets or does not meet the hedging objectives. Such methodology will be available to the Superintendence for verification of its compliance.

5. RECOGNITION The Manager must recognize the contract of a financial derivative instrument on the date it becomes part of the contractual agreements of the acquired instrument. On the contract date, the Manager will recognize either a financial asset or a financial liability. The amount thereof will be subject to the conditions under which the transaction was contracted. Generally, on the recognition date, the value of these contracts will be zero unless the transaction corresponds to a derivative that gives rise to an option or the originated contract has been acquired under conditions within the stock market or an unorganized market according to the underlying fixed to establish the value of the instrument.

6. INITIAL MEASUREMENT Financial derivative instrument contracts shall be initially measured at their fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, will be the transaction price. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of these instruments will be applied to the period's results on the date of contracting. See Section 2 "Financial Instruments" for further expansion on initial measurement. The nominal (notional) amount of these contracts, when it exists, i.e., the amount established to measure the costs or benefits to be paid or received by the transaction, must be incorporated from the contract date into off-balance sheet accounts known as memorandum accounts, established for such purposes.

7. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT The contract shall be subsequently measured at its fair value, which will be established by the acquiring Manager of the instrument, either through the use of valuation models that use as a source the basic inputs, which for the type of instrument being valued are appropriate, either according to market practice, where they are issued, or according to the practice developed by the Manager, which must demonstrate that it is at least equal to or more conservative than that originated by the issuer of the contract. When the Manager's valuation is greater than that of the counterparty, the lower measurement will be taken. In the case that the derivative instrument has been acquired in an unorganized market (OTC), the Manager must submit to the Superintendence the methodology applied to establish the fair value for its verification and inform whenever it is modified. Such methodology must

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 33 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015 contain the pertinent detail that allows understanding of how the values affecting the Manager's Balance Sheet and results have been obtained and must be incorporated into the Manager's risk management policies. For the case of instruments acquired in unorganized markets (OTC), the lower price established between the issuer's price and the price determined by the institution will be considered. If the prices of the acquired products were available in any of the sources cited in paragraph 12 of Section 2, the Manager will take them from said paragraph and document the source of the information used to determine the fair value on the measurement date. For these contracts, the frequency of measurement will be according to the availability of information.

8. RECOGNITION OF INCOME AND/OR EXPENSES Value changes occurring between the previous and current measurement dates, in financial derivative instruments, will affect the period's results, either as an expense or as income, depending on the instrument's price position and the Manager's position within the contract, which could leave the Manager in a position of realized or unrealized losses or gains. What is established in the first paragraph of this paragraph will be so always that gains or losses are computed on financial derivative instruments measured at fair value; that is, active or passive derivatives held for trading because they have ceased to meet the conditions to be used as risk management instruments and the Manager has not made a new designation.

9. DERECOGNITION The Manager will derecognize the fair values of financial derivative instruments on the date of termination of the contracts or on the date of exercise of the instrument, whichever occurs first. On the indicated dates, the Manager will pay or collect the pending amounts owed to it or in its favor or exercise the closed positions on that date, in the case where the transaction corresponds to a purchased option and it ends with intrinsic value.

SECTION 4 TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to regulate the recognition, measurement, and presentation of Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets, as well as Investment Properties.

2. SCOPE This Section applies to all transactions related to Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets, and Investment Properties.

3. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT Properties and Equipment are integrated by tangible goods that have been acquired or constructed to be used in the Manager's business.

4. RECOGNITION A fixed asset shall only be recognized as an asset if and only if: a) It is probable that future economic benefits derived from it will be obtained; and b) The cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

5. INITIAL MEASUREMENT These assets shall be initially measured at cost, which includes their acquisition price, import duties, non-recoverable indirect taxes, and costs directly related to the process of preparing the asset, in terms of physical location and condition, so that it can operate in the manner intended by the Manager, less any discount. Additionally, an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling or removing the asset, as well as the rehabilitation of the place where it is located, if this corresponds to a future obligation for the Manager, must be included.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 35 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015 When expenditures are made to replace one or more components of Properties and Equipment, these amounts will be included as part of the cost of the Properties and Equipment to be replaced, at the same time, the component being replaced must be derecognized.

6. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT These assets shall be subsequently measured applying the Cost Model, which implies that the asset will be recorded in the books at its cost less accumulated depreciation and the accumulated amount of impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures after the initial recognition of properties and equipment are capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits related to the expenditure will flow to the Manager.

7. DEPRECIATION Depreciation will begin when the asset is available for use, that is, when it is in the location and conditions necessary to operate in the manner intended by management, and using the depreciation method that best reflects the patterns of consumption of the asset's benefits. Depreciation amounts will be recognized as expenses in each accounting period. The depreciation method must be reviewed and/or modified if it no longer reflects the expected pattern of consumption of benefits of the assets. However, any change in the depreciation method must be accounted for prospectively. Continuous repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses in results when they are incurred.

8. IMPAIRMENT OF VALUE For the purposes of recognizing impairment of value, what is stipulated in the guide established in the relevant international standard shall be considered.

9. DERECOGNITION The derecognition of the assets that make up Properties and Equipment will be carried out when the following conditions occur: a) Expropriation of the asset; and b) Future economic benefits from its use are not expected.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 36 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015 Gains or losses may arise from the removal of these assets from the accounts, which will be recognized in the results of the period when they occur.

10. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES Investment Properties are those held to obtain gains, capital appreciation, or both, instead of: a) Their use in the production or supply of goods or services; b) Use for administrative purposes; or c) Sale in the ordinary course of operations. Investment Properties will be land and buildings considered in their entirety or in part. The Manager may have this type of property only when it comes from foreclosures or judicial adjudications or when it intends to sell a property from Property, Plant, and Equipment.

11. RECOGNITION Investment Properties shall be recognized as assets when: a) It is probable that future economic benefits associated with such Investment Properties will flow to the Manager; and b) The cost can be measured reliably.

12. INITIAL MEASUREMENT Investment Properties shall be initially measured at acquisition cost plus direct transaction costs associated. Transaction costs of an Investment Property will comprise expenditures directly attributable to the Property and include, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes if applicable, and other costs associated with the transaction. When expenditures are made to replace one or more components of Investment Properties, these amounts will be included as part of the cost of the Investment Properties to be replaced, at the same time, the component being replaced must be removed.

13. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT After initial recognition, all Investment Properties shall be measured using the cost model, applying the same criteria that have been established for Properties and

(503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 37 of 118 CNBCR-13/2015 NDMC-04 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS Approval: 12/08/2015 Validity: 01/09/2015 Equipment, until it is available for the same or when the transformation to sell it in the ordinary course of its activity begins. Compensation from third parties for cause of Investment Properties that have impaired their value, have been lost, or abandoned, will be recognized in the period's result when such compensations are enforceable.

14. TRANSFERS AND DERECOGNITION Transfers to, or from, Investment Property will be carried out when there is a change in its use, which has been evidenced by: the start of occupation by the owner, in the case of a transfer of an Investment Property to an installation occupied by the Manager; the end of occupation by the Manager, in the case of the transfer of an installation occupied by the Manager to an Investment Property. Investment Properties will be removed from the Balance Sheet at the time of their disposal or when the Investment Properties are permanently removed from use, are reclassified to another category of assets, and no future economic benefits are expected from their disposal. The loss or gain resulting from the removal or disposal of an Investment Property will be determined as the difference between the net income of the transaction and the book amount of the asset and will be recognized in the period's result in which the removal or disposal takes place.

15. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS The recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of intangible assets will apply the criteria established according to the guidelines provided by the International Accounting Standard for these purposes. Additionally, the following will be considered: An intangible asset shall be initially measured at cost, which comprises: a) Acquisition price, including import duties and non-recoverable taxes; and b) Any cost directly attributable to the preparation of the asset for its intended use. The intangible asset shall be subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses; except in the case of purchased goodwill. Purchased goodwill in a business combination, after its initial recognition, will not be subject to amortization; instead, at least at the close of each accounting period, it will be evaluated for the purposes of establishing or ruling out that an impairment loss on it has occurred.

16. PRESENTATION Investment Properties shall be presented in the Balance Sheet, according to the rights they represent as of the date of the Financial Statements, under the account of Property and Depreciable Equipment. Likewise, properties that are not depreciated shall be presented in the Balance Sheet in the sub-group of Non-Depreciable Properties, and Properties, Plant and Equipment that are subject to depreciation shall be presented under the account of Property and Depreciable Equipment, and intangible assets in the Intangibles account.

SECTION 5 SPECIFIC TREATMENTS DEFINED FOR THE PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish the method of presentation of Financial Statements and the measurement or settlement of items that have alternative measurement or settlement models.

2. SCOPE This Section establishes the methods that must be applied by the Manager for the presentation of the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, and the Statement of Cash Flows.

3. PRESENTATION OF ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT INTEGRATE THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS. Presentation refers to the way accounting information is incorporated into the basic Financial Statements, such that this incorporation is uniform period after period, reliable, and relevant for a better reading and interpretation of the different elements of the Financial Statements. Below, the models or methods defined for the presentation of the elements of the Financial Statements are detailed.

Financial Statement	Presentation Method	Comments
Balance Sheet	Assets and liabilities shall be presented according to their term type and whether they are current or non-current.	This presentation method takes into consideration the ease of conversion into cash of assets and the exigibility of payment of liabilities, presenting them both as current or non-current. The use of this method is considered appropriate for the Manager, because information on expected dates of realization of assets and exigibility of liabilities is useful to evaluate the liquidity and solvency of the Manager and is considered to provide reliable and more relevant information. Adopting this method does not exempt the Manager from disclosing amounts expected to be recovered or settled within a period less than or equal to one year after the date of the reported period and those that will be recovered in a period greater than one year after the date of the reported period.
Statement of Comprehensive Income	Expenses will be recorded applying the Method of Nature of Expenses and revealing additional items considered necessary for the adequate understanding of the Manager's financial performance.	Considering the nature of the Manager, the presentation method of expenses by nature is considered to provide a reliable and more relevant presentation, as it provides useful information on expenses that are materially representative of the Manager, while it may be easier to apply; this is complemented with a detail of expenses that contribute to a better understanding of the Manager's financial performance.
Cash Flows	Direct Method applied to operating, financing, and investment activities.	The advantage of presenting operating activities under the Direct Method is that it provides useful information to estimate future flows, which is not available when the indirect method is applied.

SECTION 6 PREPARATION AND PUBLICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish procedures that allow the preparation, presentation, and disclosure of basic Financial Statements, in accordance with prudential requirements of the Central Bank and, where applicable, IFRS, in order to provide the public with sufficient and timely financial information about the financial, economic, and legal situation of the Managers.

2. SCOPE This Section establishes the models of Financial Statements that the Manager must use to present its financial information, as well as the minimum framework of notes to them that they must observe when making information disclosures for each line of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Comprehensive Income, and the other basic Financial Statements where pertinent.

3. REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The most relevant aspects to be considered in the presentation and disclosure of Financial Statements are the following: a) Technical Standards, Fundamental Hypotheses, and Qualitative Characteristics: Financial Statements must be prepared based on the standards issued by the Central Bank applicable to them and IFRS. When IFRS present different ways to measure the same element of the Financial Statements, the Manager must adopt the most prudent criterion among them; b) Expression of Figures: The figures of the Financial Statements and their notes must be expressed in thousands of United States dollars with two decimals; c) Accounting Origin of Balances: The figures of the Financial Statements and their notes must originate from the ledger balances as of the corresponding reference date, which must contain definitive figures; d) Amounts to Disclose in Financial Statements: The amounts presented in the Financial Statements will be those that meet the condition of an asset, liability, equity, income, or expense; and e) Accounts of Nature Contrary to the Main Account Where They Underlie: When it is necessary to disclose valuation and adjustment accounts that have a nature different from the accounts where they underlie, for example: impairment estimates, accumulated depreciations, which net off the accounts that originate them within equity, among others. In these cases, such accounts must be presented in parentheses.

4. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The basic Financial Statements that must be prepared with reference to December 31 are: the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows according to models established in Chapter V, and their respective notes that include a summary of the most significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Likewise, the Manager must prepare a complete set of Financial Statements with reference to June 30 of each year.

gradually as the asset or liability that affected equity is realized or removed from the Balance Sheet.

The criteria that gave rise to the recording of these assets must be evaluated at least at each annual closing date.

The Manager must have a control register that allows reliable identification of the assets or liabilities that generate the temporary differences and the values corresponding to such differences, both of the current period and of previous ones, which will facilitate the appropriate reconciliations and disclosures on the expenses and income of income taxes.

The book value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may change, even when the amount of the corresponding temporary differences has not changed. This may happen, for example, as a result of: a) A change in tax rates or regulations; b) A reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets; or c) A change in the expected manner of recovering the book value of an asset.

The deferred tax, corresponding to these changes, will be recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited directly to equity accounts.

The proposed treatment of income and expenses for taxes, both current and deferred, is aligned with the financial framework; the effects of the application of the tax framework are not treated here. (2)
