APPENDIX

Regarding interest-generating assets, it will be the amount resulting from restating balances at the close of each of the 3 consecutive 12-month periods, from that date until the close of the 36-month calculation period (n-1). First, the value of the corresponding net items (for example, income minus expenses) must be determined for each consecutive 12-month period, and then the average of the 3 periods is calculated.

5.1.2. Operational Risk Requirement for Group 2 Entities
It will be determined monthly by the following expression:
n \sum_{t=1}^{n} a IB_t

Where:
a: 15% n: number of consecutive 12-month periods in which IB is positive, considering the last 36 months prior to the calculation month.
Maximum n = 3

If n = 0: a requirement equivalent to the limit set forth in point 7.3 of the regulations on Minimum Capital of financial entities shall apply.
To this effect, financial entities of Group “A” will receive the treatment set forth in point 7.3.1 of the regulations on Minimum Capital of financial entities, whose calculation will correspond to the expression in point 5.1.3.2 of this regulation.

IB_t: gross income of consecutive 12-month periods (provided it is positive), corresponding to the last 36 months prior to the month in which the calculation is made, expressed in homogeneous currency of the month preceding the calculation month.

IB = (financial income - financial expenses)
Plus
(service income – service expenses)
Plus
(other profits - other losses)
Plus total monetary result.

For the purpose of reporting the results of each of the 12-month periods, it will be necessary to restate each concept included from its month of origin until the close of the 36-month calculation period (i.e., n-1).
