Series I. Criteria relative to the general scheme of accounting.

Basic scheme of the set of accounting criteria (A-1)

(1) The purpose of this criterion is to define the basic scheme of the set of accounting guidelines applicable to Institutions and Mutual Societies.

(2) The accounting of Institutions and Mutual Societies will be adjusted to the basic structure that, for the application of the Financial Reporting Standards (NIF), was defined by the Mexican Council of Financial Reporting Standards, A.C. (CINIF), in the NIF A Series "Conceptual Framework".

(3) Institutions and Mutual Societies will observe the accounting guidelines of the NIF, except when, in the judgment of the Commission, it is necessary to apply specific regulations or accounting criteria, taking into consideration that Institutions and Mutual Societies carry out specialized operations.

(4) In accordance with what is established in Title 25 "Of the Holding Companies of Financial Groups subject to Inspection and Surveillance by the Commission" of these Provisions, the accounting criteria indicated in this Annex for Institutions and Mutual Societies will be applicable, insofar as relevant, to Holding Companies.

(5) Regarding this, the regulations referred to in paragraph 3 will cover valuation, presentation, and disclosure standards applicable to specific items within the financial statements of Institutions and Mutual Societies, as well as those applicable to their preparation.

(6) Additionally, in cases where Institutions and Mutual Societies consider that there is no accounting criterion applicable to any of the operations they carry out, issued by CINIF or by the Commission, the bases for supplementary application provided for in NIF A-8 will be applied, considering:

That in no case, its application shall contravene the accounting criteria applicable to Institutions and Mutual Societies indicated in this Annex;

ii.

That the standards that have been applied in the supplementary process will be replaced when a specific accounting criterion is issued by the Commission, or a NIF, on the subject to which said process was applied.

(7) The application of accounting criteria, nor the concept of supplementary application, will not proceed in the case of operations that by express legislation are not permitted or are prohibited, or that are not expressly authorized to Institutions and Mutual Societies.

(8) Institutions and Mutual Societies that follow the supplementary process must communicate in writing to the Vice Presidency of Institutional Operation of the Commission, responsible for their supervision, within the 10 natural days following the application, the accounting standard that has been adopted supplementarily, as well as its basis of application and the source used. Additionally, they must carry out the corresponding disclosure in accordance with what is indicated in Chapter 23.1. "Of the opinions and reports of independent external auditors" of these Provisions.

Application of Financial Reporting Standards (A-2)

(1) The objective of this criterion is to specify the application of the NIF, as well as to indicate the clarifications that result necessary for each one.

(2) In accordance with what is established in criterion A-1 of this Annex, Institutions and Mutual Societies will observe, until there is an express pronouncement by the Commission, the NIF issued by CINIF on topics not foreseen in the accounting criteria, provided that:

They are in force with definitive character;

ii.

They are not applied in advance;

iii.

They do not contravene the accounting criteria for Institutions and Mutual Societies, and

iv.

There is no express pronouncement by the Commission, among others, regarding clarifications to the particular standards contained in the NIF that is issued, or regarding its non-applicability.

Specific Criteria for the Application of NIF

(3) Taking into consideration that Institutions and Mutual Societies carry out specialized operations, it is necessary to establish clarifications that adapt the particular standards of recognition, valuation, presentation, and in their case, disclosure, established by CINIF. In virtue of this, Institutions and Mutual Societies, when observing what is established in the NIF mentioned at the beginning of this criterion, must adjust to the following:

NIF B-1 "Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors".- When, as a result of the supervision activities carried out by the Commission and in accordance with the functions carried out by external auditors and the commissioner, as well as the activities carried out by board members, general managers, directors and managers, internal auditors and other officials in charge of directing and controlling the operations of Institutions and Mutual Societies, errors are detected in the accounting recording of their operations, accounting changes or any other situation that by its importance originates the modification of the financial statements, Institutions and Mutual Societies must carry out their correction and substitution, and include in the disclosure notes the causes that gave rise to said modification. Likewise, they must present again to the Commission the quarterly or annual information that they have incorrectly reported in accordance with what is indicated in Title 22 of these Provisions.

NIF B-15 "Conversion of Foreign Currencies".- With respect to the valuation of operations in foreign currency and in compliance with article 296 of the LISF, the valuation of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet accounts in foreign currency must be carried out using the following bases:

What is established in NIF B-15 "Conversion of Foreign Currencies" will be applied.

ii.

In the application of the aforementioned NIF B-15, the exchange rate to be used to establish the equivalence of the national currency with the United States dollar will be the closing daily exchange rate on the date of the transaction or of the preparation of the financial statements, as applicable, published by the Bank of Mexico on its internet page www.banxico.org.mx, or the one that replaces it.

iii.

A position will be established for each currency handled.

iv.

The equivalence of the currencies of various countries with the United States dollar will be applied to the determined position. To carry out said conversion, they will consider the quotation that governs the corresponding currency in relation to said dollar in international markets, as established by the Bank of Mexico in the applicable regulation.

Once the original currencies are converted to United States dollars, these will be valued at the closing daily exchange rate indicated in fraction ii.

vi.

The difference resulting from the valuation of the currencies of the asset and liability accounts will be recorded in the results of the period, considering for such purposes the sub-item Changes, belonging to the item Exchange Rate Result indicated in the minimum catalog referred to in Criterion C-1 of this Annex.

NIF B-17 "Determination of Fair Value".- Institutions and Mutual Societies must apply NIF B-17 except for the criteria defined in the IASB.

NIF C-2 "Investment in Financial Instruments".- Institutions and Mutual Societies must observe the criteria indicated in NIF C-2 "Investment in Financial Instruments", of the Financial Reporting Standards issued by CINIF, regarding the application of the standards relative to the recording, valuation and presentation in the financial statements, for the holding and returns that Institutions and Mutual Societies obtain, as a consequence of their investments in financial instruments.

In attention to Provision 3.9.2. Fraction II, and for the purposes of NIF C-2, Institutions and Mutual Societies must determine the business model they will use for the administration of their investments in financial instruments, to classify them adequately.

As a result of the analysis that Institutions and Mutual Societies make of their business model, assets by financial instruments must be classified for their valuation and recording within any of the following categories:

Negotiable Financial Instruments (NFI),

ii.

Financial Instruments to Collect or Sell (FICS), or

iii.

Financial Instruments to Collect Principal and Interest (FICPI).

In the case of operations that comprise two or more accounting periods of recording, the amount to be reflected as a result by valuation will be the difference resulting between the last book value and the new value determined based on market prices (or equivalents) at the time of valuation. The valuation results that are recognized before the investment is redeemed or sold will have the character of unrealized and, consequently, will not be subject to capitalization or distribution of dividends among their shareholders, until they are realized in cash.

The category of Financial Instruments to Collect Principal and Interest will be for the exclusive use of Insurance Institutions that operate Pension Insurance derived from social security laws, considering the nature of their obligations.

The exception to irrevocably designate at initial recognition a financial instrument to collect or sell, to be subsequently valued at its fair value with effects in the net result referred to in paragraph 32.6 of NIF C-2, will not be applicable to Institutions and Mutual Societies.

Institutions and Mutual Societies that carry out reclassifications of their investments in financial instruments under section 44 of NIF C-2, must request authorization for this fact in writing from the Commission within the 10 business days following the authorization that for such purposes is issued by the board of directors of the Institutions and Mutual Societies, exposing in detail the change in the business model that justifies it.

Insurance Institutions specialized in Pension Insurance derived from social security laws may carry out the anticipatory sale of instruments classified in the category of Financial Instruments to Collect Principal and Interest, when with the purpose of preserving the levels of matching of their investments it is necessary to acquire instruments of greater duration. In any other case, prior authorization from the Commission will be required.

In all cases of anticipatory sales, the approval of the investment committee of the Insurance Institution specialized in Pension Insurance derived from social security laws, as applicable, must be obtained, as well as demonstrating that the coverage of the Investment Base and the level of sufficiency of the Admissible Own Funds to cover the RCS do not present shortages derived from such operations.

Likewise, they must present before the Commission within ten natural days following the close of the month in which the operation was carried out, the documentation detailed below:

Letter in which they indicate the reasons for said anticipatory sales;

ii.

Copy of the accounting policies of the movements carried out, and

iii.

Minutes or agreement of the investment committee where the approval of the anticipatory sales carried out is recorded.

Regarding operations carried out by Institutions and Mutual Societies in matters of investments in securities, repurchases, securities lending and derivatives, once these reach their maturity and while the corresponding settlement is not perceived, as agreed in the respective contract, the amount of the operations due to be received or paid must be recorded in liquidating accounts (debtors or creditors for settlement of operations).

The acquired securities that are agreed to be settled on a date subsequent to the negotiation of the purchase-sale operation and that have been assigned, that is, that have been identified, will be recognized as restricted assets (to be received) at the time of negotiation, while the sold titles will be recognized as an exit of investments in securities (to be delivered). The counterpart must be a liquidating account, to be received or paid (creditor or debtor), as applicable, in accordance with what is established in criterion A-3 "Application of general standards", of this Annex.

Institutions and Mutual Societies, for the identification and recognition of impairment adjustments, must adhere to what is established by NIF C-2 "Investment in Financial Instruments", issued by CINIF.

NIF C-8 "Intangible Assets".- Institutions and Mutual Societies for the recording of intangible assets must have prior authorization from the Commission, in order to verify that they comply with what is indicated in NIF C-8. In the case of operations that generate a Goodwill, it will not be necessary to have said authorization.

NIF C-9 "Provisions, Contingencies and Commitments".- Institutions and Mutual Societies must observe the criteria indicated in NIF C-9 "Provisions, Contingencies and Commitments", except when it comes to the following aspects:

Technical Reserves; for which they must adhere to what is provided in Title 5 of these Provisions, as well as what is established in Title 22 and this Annex.

ii.

Reinsurance operations, for which they must adhere to what is provided in Title 9 "Of Reinsurance, Reaffirmation and other mechanisms of transfer of risks and liabilities" of these Provisions.

iii.

Claims, for which they must adhere to what is indicated in criterion r) "Claims" of this Annex.

NIF C-11 "Equity".- In the case of real estate that Institutions and Mutual Societies register, they must include the surplus by reevaluation of real estate in accordance with what is indicated in criterion B-6 "Real Estate" of this Annex.

NIF C-13 "Related Parties".- For the purposes of complying with the disclosure standards contained in NIF C-13 "Related Parties", Institutions and Mutual Societies that carry out operations with related parties must consider, in addition to those provided for in article 71 of the LISF as well as in NIF C-13, the legal entities that have control or significant influence, understood as the de facto capacity to influence decisively in the agreements adopted in the shareholders' meetings or board of directors sessions or in the management, conduct and execution of the business of the entity in question or of the legal entities that it controls.

Application of general standards (A-3)

(1) The objective of this section is to specify the establishment of general application standards that Institutions and Mutual Societies must observe in the recognition, valuation, presentation and disclosure applicable for the accounting criteria regarding the following concepts:

Restricted assets.- Restricted assets must be recorded for all those assets regarding which there are circumstances by which they cannot be disposed of or used, and must remain in the same item from which they originate. Likewise, it will be considered that they are part of this category, those assets coming from operations that do not settle on the same day, that is, they are received with a value date different from the negotiation date.

Liquidating accounts.- The amount of the operations due to be received or paid derived from the operations carried out by Institutions and Mutual Societies must be recorded in liquidating accounts.

entities regarding investments in securities, repos, securities lending, and derivatives,

once these reach their maturity and until the corresponding settlement is received,

as agreed in the respective contract.

Likewise, for operations where immediate settlement or same-day value date is not agreed upon,

including foreign exchange sales and purchases, on the transaction date the amount to be received or paid must be

registered in clearing accounts, until their settlement is effected. In cases where the amount to be received is not realized within 30

calendar days following the date it was registered in clearing

accounts, it will be reclassified as Past Due Portfolio and the corresponding

estimate of expected credit losses for the aforementioned amounts to be received must be established simultaneously. This must be determined in accordance with what is established in NIF C-16

"Deterioration of financial instruments receivable".

Accrued but unrealized interest.- Accrued interest for the different items

of assets or liabilities must be presented in the Balance Sheet together with their corresponding principal.

Recognition of assets and/or liabilities.- The recognition in the financial statements of

assets and/or liabilities, including those arising from foreign exchange sales and purchases,

investments in securities, repos, securities lending, derivatives, and issued securities,

will be carried out on the date the operation is agreed upon, regardless of the settlement or delivery date of the asset.

Cancellation of assets and/or liabilities.- The cancellation in the financial statements of

assets and/or liabilities, including those arising from foreign exchange sales and purchases,

investments in securities, repos, securities lending, derivatives, and issued securities,

will be carried out on the date the operation is agreed upon, regardless of the settlement or delivery date of the asset.

Valuation of UDI.- The value to be used will be that made known by the Bank of Mexico

on its website, applicable on the valuation date.

Valuation of VSM (times minimum wage).- The value to be used will be that of the minimum wage

corresponding, approved by the National Commission of Minimum Wages and made known

in the DOF, applicable on the valuation date.

Valuation of UMA.- The value to be used will be that of the measurement and update unit

corresponding, approved by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography and made known

in the DOF, applicable on the valuation date.

Disclosure of financial information.- Regarding the disclosure of financial

information, the provisions of NIF A-7 "Presentation and disclosure" must be taken into account, with respect to the fact that the responsibility for providing information on the economic entity

rests with its management, which must gather such information, meeting certain qualitative characteristics such as reliability, relevance, understandability, and

comparability based on what is provided in the structure of financial reporting standards.

Institutions and Mutual Societies, in compliance with the disclosure standards

provided in these accounting criteria, must consider materiality in terms of NIF A-4 "Qualitative characteristics of financial statements",

that is, they must show the most significant aspects of the entity recognized

accountingly as indicated by that characteristic associated with relevance.

The foregoing implies, among other elements, that materiality requires the exercise

of professional judgment regarding the circumstances that determine the facts reflected in the

financial information. In the same sense, an appropriate balance must be obtained between the

qualitative characteristics of financial information in order to meet the objective of the

financial statements, for which an optimal point must be sought rather than the achievement of

maximum levels of all qualitative characteristics.

However, with respect to materiality, this will not be applicable to the

information:

required by the Commission through other general provisions issued for

this purpose, different from those contained in these criteria;

ii.

additional specific information required by the Commission, related to its

supervisory activities, and

iii.

required through the issuance or authorization, if applicable, of special accounting

criteria or records.

linked to Credit operations, being subject to the criterion "Investments in

securities", according to what is provided in Title 22 of the General Provisions derived from the LISF.

Recognition and valuation standards

(4) The balance to be recorded in loans or Credits will be the amount effectively granted to the borrower

and, if applicable, the insurance that has been financed. To this amount will be added any type

of interest that, according to the Credit payment scheme, accrues.

(5) The Outstanding Balance of Credits denominated in Minimum Wage Units (VSM) will be

valued based on the corresponding minimum wage, recording the adjustment for the increase

against a Deferred Credit, which will be recognized in the results of the period in the portion

proportional to a 12-month period as interest income. In the event that before the end of the 12-month period there is a modification to said minimum wage,

the outstanding balance to be amortized will be carried to the results of the period in the item of interest income on that date.

(6) In cases where the collection of interest is made in advance, these will be recognized

as an advance collection in the item of Deferred Credits and advance collections, which will be amortized during the life of the Credit under the straight-line method against the results of the

period, in the item of interest on Credits.

Partial payments in kind

(7) Partial payments received in kind to cover amortizations (principal and/or interest) accrued, or in their case, due, will be recorded in accordance with what is established in the accounting criterion B-15 "Assets Adjudicated",

of this Annex.

Commissions charged for the initial granting of the Credit

(8) Commissions charged for the initial granting of the Credit will be recorded as a Deferred Credit, which will be amortized against the results of the period as interest income,

under the straight-line method during the life of the Credit.

(9) This category will not include commissions that are recognized subsequent to the

initial granting of the Credit, those incurred as part of the maintenance of said Credits, nor those charged in connection with Credits that have not been placed.

Likewise, any other type of commission not included in the previous paragraph will be

recognized on the date they are generated against the results of the period in the item of

commissions and fees charged.

Associated costs and expenses

(10) Costs and expenses associated with the initial granting of the Credit will be recognized as a

delayed charge, which will be amortized against the results of the period as an interest expense, during the same accounting period in which income from

commissions charged is recognized.

(11) For the purposes of the previous paragraph, costs or expenses associated with the

initial granting of the Credit will be understood only as those that are incremental and directly related to activities carried out by Institutions and Mutual Societies for

granting the Credit, for example, the credit evaluation of the debtor, evaluation and recognition of

collateral, negotiations for the terms of the Credit, preparation and processing of the

Credit documentation, and closing or cancellation of the transaction.

(12) Any other cost or expense not included in the previous paragraph, including those

related to promotion, advertising, potential customers, administration of existing Credits (follow-up, control, recoveries, etc.) and other auxiliary activities related to

the establishment and monitoring of Credit policies will be recognized directly in the results of the period as they accrue in the item corresponding to the

nature of the cost or expense.

(13) Commissions charged or pending collection, as well as costs and expenses associated

with the initial granting of the Credit, will not form part of the Credit portfolio.

Transfer to Past Due Portfolio

(14) The Outstanding Balance according to the conditions established in Credit contracts will be

registered as Past Due Portfolio when:

It is known that the borrower is declared in commercial bankruptcy, in accordance with

the Commercial Bankruptcy Law, or

Their amortizations have not been settled in full according to the terms originally agreed

upon, considering the following for this purpose:

i. If the debts consist of Credits with a single payment of principal and interest at

maturity and have 30 or more calendar days past due;

ii. If the debts refer to Credits with a single payment of principal at maturity and with

periodic interest payments and have 90 or more calendar days past due for the respective interest payment, or 30 or more calendar days past due for the principal;

iii. If the debts consist of Credits with periodic partial payments of principal and

interest, including Housing Credits and have 90 or more calendar days past due.

(15) Past Due Credits that are restructured will remain within the Past Due Portfolio, until

there is evidence of sustained payment.

(16) Credits greater than one year with a single payment of principal and interest at maturity that are restructured during the term of the Credit will be considered as Past Due Portfolio.

(17) Renewals in which the borrower has not settled in time the total of

accrued interest according to the terms and conditions originally agreed upon, and 25% of the original amount of the Credit, will be considered as past due until there is

evidence of sustained payment.

(18) When it comes to renewals where the extension of the term is carried out during the

term of the Credit, the 25% referred to in the previous paragraph must be calculated on the original amount of the Credit that should have been covered by that date.

Suspension of interest accumulation

(19) The accumulation of accrued interest on credit operations entered into with each debtor must be suspended, at the moment when the Outstanding Balance of the Credit is

considered as past due. Likewise, the amortization in the results of the

period of accrued financial income, as well as the amount corresponding to the purchase option of Credits through financial leasing operations, must be suspended, at the moment

when the Outstanding Balance of the Credit is considered as past due.

(20) For those Credits that contractually capitalize interest to the amount of the debt, the suspension of interest accumulation established in the previous paragraph will apply to them.

(21) While the Credit remains in Past Due Portfolio, the control of accrued interest or financial

income will be carried out in off-balance sheet accounts. In the event that such interest or

past due financial income is collected, it will be recognized directly in the results of the period in the item of interest income, canceling in the case of financial leasing the corresponding Deferred Credit.

(21) In the event that the interest recorded in off-balance sheet accounts in accordance with the previous paragraph

is forgiven or written off, it must be cancelled from off-balance sheet accounts without affecting the item of

the preventive estimate for credit risks.

Uncollected accrued interest

(23) With respect to accrued but uncollected interest or financial income

corresponding to Credits that are considered as Past Due Portfolio, an estimate must be created for an amount equivalent to the total of these, at the moment of transferring the Credit as

Past Due Portfolio.

(24) For past due Credits where in their Restructuring the capitalization of

accrued but uncollected interest previously recorded in off-balance sheet accounts is agreed upon, the entity must create an estimate for 100% of said interest. The estimate can be cancelled when there is evidence of sustained payment.

Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks

(25) The Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks will be determined

based on Chapter

8.14 of these Provisions. This estimate must be calculated and registered

monthly, affecting the item of preventive estimates for credit risks of the asset against the sub-item of Preventive Write-offs for credit risks that is part of the item of

Integral Financing Result, according to the minimum catalog of this Annex.

Write-offs, eliminations, and recoveries of Credit portfolio

(26) The Institution or Mutual Society must periodically evaluate whether a past due Credit

should remain in the Balance Sheet, or rather, be written off. Such Write-off will be carried out by

cancelling the Outstanding Balance of the Credit against the Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks.

When the Credit to be written off exceeds the balance of its associated estimate, before effecting the

Write-off, said estimate must be increased up to the amount of the difference.

(27) In addition to what is established in the previous paragraph, the Institution or Mutual Society

may opt to eliminate from its assets those past due Credits that are provisioned at

100% and when they do not meet the conditions to be written off. For such purposes, the

Institution or Mutual Society must cancel the Outstanding Balance of the Credit against the

Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks.

(28) Any recovery derived from previously written-off or eliminated Credits must be

recognized in the results of the period.

Haircuts, forgiveness, bonuses, and discounts on the portfolio

(29) Haircuts, forgiveness, bonuses, and discounts, that is, the amount forgiven of the

payment of the Credit in part or in full, will be recorded against the Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks. In the event that the amount of these exceeds the balance of the estimate

associated with the Credit, estimates must previously be established up to the amount of the difference.

Credits denominated in foreign currency, in VSM, and in UDIS

(30) For the case of Credits denominated in foreign currency, in Minimum Wage Units, and

in UDIS, the estimate corresponding to said Credits will be denominated in the currency or unit of account of origin that corresponds, converted to national currency.

Cancellation of excesses in the Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks

(31) When the balance of the Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks has exceeded the

amount required according to the methodologies established for each type of Credit, the

differential must be cancelled on the date when the next rating of the type of

Credit to be charged against the results of the period, affecting the same concept or item that originated it, that is, the Preventive Estimate for Credit Risks. In cases where the amount to be cancelled exceeds the registered balance of said estimate in the results of the period, the excess shall be recognized as other income (expenses) of the operation.

Objective

(1) This criterion aims to establish the bases for Institutions and Mutual Societies to carry out the accounting registration of technical reserves, referred to in articles 216 and 220 of the LISF and Title 5 of the CUSF.

Valuation

(2) Institutions and Mutual Societies shall constitute and value technical reserves in accordance with what is established in articles 218, 219, 221 and 222 of the LISF, as well as what is stated in the provisions of Title 5 Of Technical Reserves, of this Circular and other applicable provisions.

Registration

(3) Institutions and Mutual Societies shall register in their accounting the liabilities for technical reserves and register the corresponding increase or decrease in the results items contemplated for this effect in the minimum catalog referred to in Criterion C-1 of this Annex.

The registration of the aforementioned reserve shall be applied against results in the item of net increase to the Reserve for Risks in Course. Likewise, in the asset, recoverable amounts of reinsurance shall be registered under the item "Participation of Institutions or Foreign Reinsurers for risks in course (Valuation at Agreed Technical Rate)" and the estimation for non-compliance which shall affect results in the concept of preventive write-offs for recoverable amounts of reinsurance, established in the minimum catalog referred to in Criterion C-1 of this Annex.

(7) In the valuation that, month by month, is carried out of the Reserve for Risks in Course of long-term insurance, variations that arise in its value due to differences between the interest rates used for the original calculation ("Agreed Technical Rate") and the market interest rates used for the monthly valuation of the corresponding technical reserve shall be determined. These variations shall be registered under the item named "Result in the Valuation of the Reserve for Risks in Course of Long Term due to Variations in Interest Rate". Additionally, the corresponding effects in Recoverable Amounts of Reinsurance shall be registered under the Asset item named "For Participation of Institutions or Foreign Reinsurers for risks in course (Variation at Agreed Technical Rate)".

The "Result in the Valuation of the Reserve for Risks in Course of Long Term due to Variations in Interest Rate" shall be determined solely by the change in the interest rates employed, so that in the first valuation of the Reserve for Risks in Course of long-term insurance in accordance with these Provisions, a valuation shall be carried out that identifies the amount that comes from the change in the interest rate employed, as well as the amounts coming from changes in the calculation methodology and demographic hypotheses. For these effects, Institutions shall carry out a valuation with the valuation method registered with the Commission in accordance with these Provisions employing the technical interest rate with which the reserve was being valued before the entry into force of these Provisions ("Agreed Technical Rate"), and compare said amount with the valuation of the reserve applying the market risk-free rate curve corresponding in accordance with these Provisions, understanding that the difference between the amounts obtained with said valuations is the effect produced solely by the change in the interest rates employed.

(8) The sum of the item "Reserve for Risks in Course (Valuation at Agreed Technical Rate)" and the item "Result in the Valuation of the Reserve for Risks in Course of Long Term due to Variations in Interest Rate", shall be the value that shall be presented under the general item "Reserve for Risks in Course", which shall be consistent with the valuation of said reserve in accordance with the procedures and principles established in Chapters 5.1 and 5.3., and using for the valuation, the market risk-free interest rate or rates corresponding to the month of valuation (t+n) in question.

Sureties shall have a period of fifteen (15) natural days, counted from the date of receipt of the claim, to request from the beneficiary the information or documentation necessary related to the surety that is the subject of the claim; in this case, the beneficiary has fifteen (15) natural days, counted from the date of receipt of the respective request, to provide the required documentation and information, and if they fail to do so within said term, the claim shall be deemed integrated. Likewise, if the Institutions operating Sureties do not make use of the right referred to in this paragraph, the beneficiary's claim shall be deemed integrated, and they must reclassify the accounting record previously made in the item "Contingent Claims", sub-item "Claims Pending Integration", transferring it to the item "Received Claims".

(7) Under the terms of the preceding paragraph, when the claim is duly integrated, the Institutions operating Sureties shall have a period of up to 30 natural days, counted from the date the claim was integrated, to proceed with its payment or, in its case, to communicate in writing to the beneficiary the reasons, causes, or grounds for its total or partial impropriety.

(8) The deadlines set forth in this provision shall be considered for the purpose of constituting a liability against the results of the Institutions operating Sureties for the claims received, in accordance with what is indicated in Article 298 of the LISF and Criterion B-7 Debtors, "Debtors by Surety Responsibilities". The recording of the aforementioned liability shall be made independently of the permanence of the record of the received claim in off-balance sheet accounts.

(9) When, for judicial or extrajudicial causes, the Institutions operating Sureties have knowledge and certainty of the enforceability of payment of amounts exceeding the secured amount, they must also record the aforementioned liability for the corresponding higher amount.

(10) In order to maintain control and follow-up of received claims at all times, in addition to their accounting recording, the Institutions operating Sureties must have claim files, which must contain the minimum data expressed in fraction VIII of provision 4.2.8 of this Circular, and the result of the respective evaluation, as well as the payment dates or declaration of impropriety, as applicable, backed by the pertinent supporting documentation.

(11) When there are disagreements on the part of the beneficiaries as a result of the evaluations that result in the impropriety or partial propriety of the received claims, such circumstances must also form part of the file mentioned in this Provision, and in general, they must conserve the documentation of all negotiations carried out between the involved parties.

(12) For the case of received claims determined as proper, the Institutions operating Sureties must make the payment to the beneficiary within the term established in fraction I of Article 279 of the LISF. Once the respective payment is made, the record of the off-balance sheet account "Received Claims" will be cancelled, adhering to Criterion B-7 Debtors, "Debtors by Surety Responsibilities" for the recording of paid claims.

(13) If the Institutions operating Sureties resolve the received claim as improper, they must cancel the record in the respective off-balance sheet accounts, and in this case, they must have at least the acknowledgment or received stamp from the beneficiary of the document where the Institution communicates to them the reasons, causes, or grounds for its impropriety.

(14) Claims that are determined as totally or partially improper during the exercise, under the terms of the preceding paragraph, must be registered in the off-balance sheet account "Cancelled Claims of the Exercise" and the corresponding cancellation for the participation of reinsurers in the item "Participation of Cancelled Claims".

(15) The Institutions operating Sureties may determine the partial propriety of the received claim, and must have the elements that justify the amount determined as proper. In this case, they must make the payment to the beneficiary in accordance with what is established by fraction II of Article 279 of the LISF, cancelling the record in the off-balance sheet accounts of received claims for the amount covered to the beneficiary. As for the remainder, it must remain in the off-balance sheet accounts of received claims, with the Institutions operating Sureties having to have at least the acknowledgment or received stamp of the payment made to the beneficiary in order to cancel said amount.

(16) If within 45 business days counted from the receipt of the claims, the Institution operating the Surety has not notified the beneficiary of its impropriety in accordance with what is provided in Article 279 of the LISF, it must create a liability against results for the claimed amount. The aforementioned record must also be made at the moment of determining the propriety of payment of the sureties, except in those cases that are in litigation. Independently of the previous procedure, the Commission may order the constitution of liabilities against results in those claims that so warrant;

(17) When there is disagreement on the part of the beneficiary regarding the impropriety or partial propriety determined by the Institutions operating Sureties and they have gone before CONDUSEF, submitting to its conciliation, arbitration, or before the competent courts, the registration procedure to be followed will be the following:

The amount registered in the off-balance sheet account "Received Claims" shall not be modified until the arbitration or lawsuit is resolved by a resolution that has become final;

If the arbitral or judicial resolution on the impropriety or partial propriety is against the Institutions operating Sureties, they must make the payment adhering to what is provided in Article 279 of the LISF, as well as to what is provided in Criterion B-7 "Debtors", in the section on Debtors by Surety Responsibilities, and

In the case of resolution in favor of the Institutions operating Sureties on the dismissal of improper claims, the total amount registered in the off-balance sheet account "Received Claims" must be cancelled. In the case of partial propriety, in addition to this cancellation, the Institutions operating Sureties will make the respective payment adhering to what is established in item 5 of this Criterion.

(18) Regarding claims made through judicial or administrative authorities, they must be registered accounting-wise as integrated claims, in the item "Received Claims".

(19) Likewise, the Institutions operating Sureties must report quarterly to the Commission on the claims registered in the aforementioned item "Received Claims", under the terms indicated in the regulatory report RR-7.

Surety Institutions must report to the Commission, through Format I indicated in this provision, the initial balance, the increases and decreases, and the final balance of all sub-items that make up the balance of the item Received Claims.

Surety Institutions must send to the Commission, in Format II indicated in this provision, a detailed report of the claims of highest amount at the institution's charge, in descending order of amount, which together represent at least 80% of the balance of the item Received Claims.

In order for Surety Institutions to comply with the electronic delivery of Formats I and II of this provision, the following instructions for their completion are made known:

Received claims related to sureties issued without recovery guarantees, for information purposes, will only use the columns named "RAMO", "SUBRAMO" and "Balance of claims of the month being reported", to report the total balance corresponding to each sub-item without identifying the name of the sureties, in the case that such claims are part of the 80% of the balance of the item Received Claims.

II.

In the column named "No. Surety", the number of the surety and, if applicable, the inclusion or item must be noted.

III.

In the column of recovery guarantees, in the one related to "Type*", the letter or letters that identify the total of the guarantees with which each claim counts, according to the types of guarantee keys described in Format III of this provision, will be noted, and in the "Amount" column, the global sum of said guarantees.

IV.

The initial balance registered in the column named "Balance of claims of the month immediately preceding the one being reported (1)", must coincide with the balance reported in the immediately preceding month in the column of "Balance of claims of the month being reported (1+2-3)", in order for those surety institutions to inform this Commission, if applicable, of the causes that originated the decrease of such claims. Likewise, they must include the claims that are necessary to represent at least 80% of the balance of the item Received Claims of the month being reported, which if they are not part of the previous month's report, must be presented in the column of "Increases of claims (1)", notwithstanding that in the records of those surety institutions they report balances in the immediately preceding month, so they must not use the aforementioned column "Balance of claims of the month immediately preceding the one being reported (1)", when it comes to claims that are being registered in the report of the month in question.

In that sense, the sum of each of the lines that make up the "Balance of claims of the month being reported (1+2-3)", together, must sum at least 80% of the balance of the item Received Claims, corresponding to the month being reported.
