DOF: 24/07/2017

RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to Popular Savings and Credit Entities, Integration Organizations, Community Financial Societies, and Rural Financial Integration Organizations, referred to in the Popular Savings and Credit Law.

A seal with the National Coat of Arms is placed at the margin, which reads: United Mexican States.- Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.

The National Banking and Securities Commission, based on the provisions of articles 117 and 119 Bis 4 of the Popular Savings and Credit Law, as well as 4, fractions IV, XXXVI and XXXVIII and 16, fraction I of the National Banking and Securities Commission Law, and

CONSIDERING

That it is deemed convenient to adjust the accounting criteria applicable to popular financial societies, regarding the classification of their investments in securities held to maturity, extending the period during which such securities can be sold or reclassified before their maturity, without affecting the ability to use said category, and

That, additionally, it is necessary to clarify the requirements of isolated events that are outside the control of popular financial societies, so that when they occur and popular financial societies sell or reclassify the held-to-maturity securities, they can continue to classify them in that category, in order to achieve greater adherence and consistency with the international standards established in the International Financial Reporting Standards, has resolved to issue the following:

B-2 INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

Objective and Scope

This criterion aims to define the specific rules regarding the recognition, valuation, presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of operations with investments in securities carried out by entities.

The following aspects are subject to this criterion:

a)

initial recognition and valuation of investments in securities;

b)

subsequent recognition of gains or losses derived from investments in securities;

c)

recognition of impairment of investments in securities, and

d)

derecognition of investments in securities from the balance sheet of entities.

The following topics are not subject to this criterion:

a)

reports;

b)

permanent investments contemplated by NIF B-8 "Consolidated or combined financial statements", NIF C-7 "Investments in associates, joint ventures and other permanent investments" and NIF C-21 "Agreements with joint control";

c)

investments derived from pension and retirement plans, and

d)

assets adjudicated.

Definitions

Amortized Cost.- For the purposes of this criterion, it is the amount at which a financial asset is valued resulting from adjusting the value at which it is initially recognized by (i) payments of principal, (ii) plus or minus the accumulated amortization, using the effective interest method, of any difference between the value at which it is initially recognized and the value at its maturity and (iii) less any reduction in value due to impairment.

Transaction Costs.- For the purposes of this criterion, these are those incremental costs directly attributable to the acquisition or disposal of a financial asset. A cost is incremental if it would not have been incurred had the financial instrument not been acquired or disposed of. For example, commissions paid to agents, consultants, brokers, as well as charges by stock exchanges, among others.

Transaction costs do not include the discount or premium received or paid for debt securities, financing costs or internal administrative costs.

Impairment.- It is the condition existing when the book value of investments in securities exceeds the recoverable amount of said securities.

Equity Instruments.- An asset represented through a title, certificate or right derived from a contract, among others, that represents a residual participation in the assets of an entity, after deducting all its liabilities, such as shares, partnership interests, residual interests, among others.

Investments in Securities.- Those made in assets constituted by equity instruments, obligations, bonds, certificates and other credit instruments and documents that are issued in series or in mass and that the entity holds in its own position.

Effective Interest Method.- It is the one by which the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability (or group of them) and the recognition of financial income or expense over the relevant period are calculated. The foregoing, by applying the effective interest rate, that is, the discount rate that exactly equates the estimated future cash flows to be received or paid over the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or when appropriate, in a shorter period (for example, when there is the possibility of an early payment or redemption), with the net book value of said financial asset or financial liability.

Credit Risk.- It is the risk that one of the parties to a financial instrument causes a financial loss to the other party by failing to fulfill an obligation.

Market Risk.- It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument may fluctuate as a result of variations in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: exchange rate risk (originated by variations in the exchange rate), interest rate risk (coming from variations in market interest rates) and other price risks (caused by particular factors of the specific financial instrument or its issuer, or by factors that affect all similar financial instruments traded in the market).

Effective Interest Rate.- Rate obtained by estimating cash flows considering all contractual conditions of the financial instrument (for example, commissions and interest paid or received by the parties to the contract, transaction costs and any other premium or discount), without considering future credit losses. When extraordinarily the cash flows and expected life of a group of substantially similar financial assets cannot be estimated reliably, the entity will use the contractual cash flows over the contractual period of each financial asset.

Securities Held to Maturity.- These are debt securities, whose payments are fixed or determinable and with a fixed maturity (which means that a contract defines the amounts and dates of payments to the holding entity), with respect to which the entity has both the intention and the capacity to hold until their maturity. A security cannot be classified as held to maturity if during the current fiscal year or during the two previous fiscal years, the entity sold securities classified in the held-to-maturity category, or reclassified securities from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category, unless the amount sold or reclassified during the last 12 months does not represent more than 15% of the total amount of securities held to maturity on the date of the transaction. The foregoing, regardless of whether the securities to be classified, the previously sold or the reclassified have similar or different characteristics. In this regard, it will be considered that both the intention and the capacity to hold the securities until maturity have been maintained when sales or reclassifications have been made that fall under any of the following circumstances:

a)

they are carried out within 90 natural days prior to their maturity or, if applicable, from the date of the issuer's call option for the security;

b)

they occur after the entity has accrued or, if applicable, collected more than 85% of its original value in nominal terms; or

c)

they are attributable to an isolated event that is outside the control of the entity, that is not recurring and that could not have been reasonably foreseen by the entity.

Debt Securities.- These are instruments that, in addition to constituting a right for one party and an obligation for the other, have a known term and generate cash flows for the holder of the securities during or at the maturity of said term.

Available-for-Sale Securities.- These are debt securities and equity instruments, whose intention is not oriented to obtain gains derived from price differences resulting from short-term buy-sell operations and, in the case of debt securities, there is neither the intention nor the capacity to hold them until maturity, therefore it represents a residual category, that is, they are acquired with an intention different from that of securities for trading or held to maturity, respectively.

Securities for Trading.- These are securities that entities acquire with the intention of alienating them, obtaining gains derived from price differences resulting from short-term buy-sell operations, which they carry out as market participants.

Book Value.- It is the balance of an investment in a security, including adjustments for valuation results, interest, accrued but uncollected dividends, impairment loss or any other adjustment that corresponds to it, as the case may be, as determined in accordance with this criterion.

Fair Value.- The amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability settled between informed, interested and equally willing parties in a free competition transaction.

Classification

At the time of their acquisition, investments in securities shall be classified as securities for trading, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities. Each of these categories has specific rules regarding recognition, valuation and presentation standards in the financial statements.

The classification between the categories of securities for trading and available-for-sale securities shall be made by the entity's management, based on the intention at the time of acquiring a specific instrument with respect to it. To classify an instrument in the held-to-maturity category, it must:

i.

have the intention and capacity to hold them until maturity, and

ii.

not be unable to classify them as held to maturity in accordance with paragraph 13.

Recognition Standards

At the time of their acquisition, investments in securities shall be initially recognized at their fair value (which includes, if applicable, the discount or premium), in accordance with what is established for such purposes in criterion C-1 "Recognition and derecognition of financial assets".

Transaction costs for the acquisition of securities shall be recognized, depending on the category in which they are classified, as follows:

a)

Securities for Trading.- In the results of the fiscal year on the date of acquisition.

b)

Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Securities.- Initially as part of the investment.

For the derecognition from the balance sheet of investments in securities, the guidelines provided for such purposes in criterion C-1 shall be followed, as well as what is stated in paragraph 30.

Valuation Standards

General Valuation Standards

Securities for trading and available-for-sale securities shall be valued at their fair value.

Held-to-maturity securities shall be valued at their amortized cost, which implies that the amortization of the premium or discount (included, if applicable, in the fair value at which they were initially recognized), as well as transaction costs, shall form part of accrued interest.

Accrued Interest

Accrued interest on debt securities shall be determined in accordance with the effective interest method and recognized in the corresponding category within the investments in securities item against the results of the fiscal year (including in the case of available-for-sale securities). At the moment when accrued interest is collected, the investments in securities item shall be decreased against the cash item.

Dividends

Dividends from equity instruments shall be recognized in the corresponding category within the investments in securities item against the results of the fiscal year (including in the case of available-for-sale securities), at the moment when the right to receive payment thereof is generated. When dividends are collected, the investments in securities item shall be decreased against the cash item.

Valuation Result for Securities for Trading and Available for Sale

The valuation result of securities for trading shall be recognized in the results of the fiscal year.

The valuation result of available-for-sale securities shall be recognized in other items of comprehensive income within equity. In the case of an inflationary environment, the valuation result corresponding to the monetary position of available-for-sale securities shall be recognized in other items of comprehensive income within equity.

The valuation result of securities for trading that are alienated, which has been previously recognized in the results of the fiscal year, shall be reclassified as part of the buy-sell result on the date of sale. Likewise, the accumulated valuation result of available-for-sale securities that are alienated, which has been recognized in other items of comprehensive income within equity, shall be reclassified as part of the buy-sell result on the date of sale.

Gain or Loss on Exchange

The gain or loss on exchange arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currency shall be recognized in the results of the fiscal year.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications from the held-to-maturity category to available-for-sale may be made, provided that there is no intention or capacity to hold them until maturity. Reclassifications to the held-to-maturity category, or from securities for trading to available-for-sale, may be made in extraordinary circumstances (for example, lack of liquidity in the market, no active market for the same, among others), which will be evaluated and, if applicable, validated through express authorization by the CNBV.

Sales of securities classified as held to maturity may satisfy the conditions established in paragraph 13(c) and, therefore, do not raise doubts about the entity's intention to hold other investments until maturity, provided they are attributable to any of the following circumstances:

a)

Significant deterioration in the credit rating of the issuer.

b)

A change in tax laws affecting the tax treatment of the instrument's yields, and therefore its value.

c)

A business combination or restructuring involving the sale of a business segment including the financial instrument held to maturity.

d)

Modification of the regulations to which an entity may be subject and that affect the relationship of assets and equity.

The valuation result corresponding to the date of reclassification, in the event of reclassifying from the held-to-maturity category to available-for-sale, shall be recognized in other items of comprehensive income within equity.

Valuation result shall be understood as the difference resulting from comparing the book value with the fair value on the date on which the aforementioned reclassification takes place.

For those debt securities that had been authorized to effect the reclassification from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category, the valuation result corresponding to the date of the transfer shall continue to be reported in the entity's equity, and must be amortized based on the remaining life of said security.

Regarding reclassifications that may have been authorized from the securities for trading category to any other, the valuation result on the date of reclassification must have been previously recognized in the statement of results.

Clearing Accounts

Securities acquired that are agreed to be settled on a date subsequent to the agreement of the buy-sell operation and that have been assigned, that is, identified, shall be recognized as restricted securities (to be received) at the time of the agreement, while sold securities shall be recognized as an outflow of investments in securities (to be delivered). The counterpart shall be a clearing account, creditor or debtor, as appropriate, in accordance with what is established in criterion A-3 "Application of general standards".

Impairment in the Value of a Security

Entities shall evaluate whether, on the balance sheet date, there is objective evidence that a security is impaired.

A security is considered impaired and, therefore, an impairment loss is incurred, if and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred subsequent to the initial recognition of the security, which had an impact on their estimated future cash flows that can be determined reliably. It is unlikely to identify a single event that individually is the cause of the impairment, it being more likely that the combined effect of various events could have caused the impairment.

Objective evidence that a security is impaired includes observable information, among others, regarding the following events:

a)

significant financial difficulties of the issuer of the security;

b)

it is likely that the issuer of the security will be declared in bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

c)

breach of contractual clauses, such as failure to pay interest or principal;

d)

the disappearance of an active market for the security in question due to financial difficulties, or

e)

there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of a group of securities since the initial recognition of said assets, although the decrease cannot be identified with the individual values of the group, including:

i.

adverse changes in the payment status of issuers in the group, or

ii.

local or national economic conditions that correlate with defaults in the securities of the group.

In addition to the events mentioned above, objective evidence of impairment for an equity instrument includes information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that it is likely that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument will not be recoverable.

The disappearance of an active market because a security is no longer publicly traded is not necessarily evidence of impairment. A decrease in the credit rating of an entity is not by itself evidence of impairment; however, it could be when considered in combination with additional information. A decrease in the fair value of a security below its amortized cost is not necessarily evidence of impairment (for example, a

decrease in the fair value of a debt security resulting from an increase in the risk-free interest rate, such as the interest rate relative to treasury certificates issued by the Federal Government).

In some cases, the observable information required to estimate the amount of impairment loss for a security may be limited or cease to be relevant in certain circumstances, so the entity will use its judgment based on its experience to determine such impairment loss.

Securities for Trading

Because securities for trading are valued at fair value, recognizing the valuation result immediately in the earnings for the period, any impairment loss that may arise with respect to such securities would already be implicit in the aforementioned valuation result; therefore, it is not necessary to perform the impairment assessment referred to in this section.

Available-for-Sale Securities

When a decrease in the fair value of an available-for-sale security has been recognized directly in other comprehensive income items within shareholders' equity, and there is objective evidence that the security is impaired, the valuation result recognized therein shall be reclassified to the earnings for the period. The amount to be reclassified shall be determined as follows:

a)

the difference between (i) the value at which the security was initially recognized, net of any principal payments and amortization, and (ii) the current fair value of the security, less

b)

any impairment loss on the aforementioned security previously recognized in the earnings for the period.

The impairment loss recognized in the earnings for the period on an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale shall not be reversed.

If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt security classified as available-for-sale increases and such effect of the reversal of impairment can be objectively related to an event that occurred after the impairment was recognized in the earnings for the period, the impairment loss shall be reversed in the earnings for the period.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred with respect to a held-to-maturity security, the amount of the loss shall be determined by the difference between the book value of the security and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the security (for example, the effective interest rate calculated at initial recognition). The book value of the security shall be reduced, recognizing the impairment loss in the earnings for the period.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and such decrease can be objectively related to an event that occurred after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss shall be reversed. The effect of the reversal of impairment shall not exceed the amortized cost that the security would have had on that date, had the impairment not been recognized. Such effect shall be recognized in the earnings for the period.

Presentation Standards

Balance Sheet

Investments classified as securities for trading, available-for-sale securities, and held-to-maturity securities shall be presented separately in the securities investments line item, maintaining that same order.

The valuation result of available-for-sale securities, as well as the valuation-related monetary position result, in the event of an inflationary environment, shall be presented in the line item for valuation result of available-for-sale securities as part of other comprehensive income items within shareholders' equity.

Income Statement

Accrued interest and yields, and gains or losses from changes in the value of securities investments, as well as dividends from equity instruments, shall be presented in the line item for interest income or interest expense, as applicable.

Appendix A is an integral part of standard B-2. Its content illustrates the application of this standard, with the purpose of clarifying its meaning.

APPENDIX A

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Classification in the Held-to-Maturity Securities Category

Intention and Capacity

For the purposes of the Reclassifications section, an entity does not have the intention to hold debt securities until maturity if at least one of the following assumptions is met:

a)

the entity intends to hold the security for an indefinite period;

b)

the entity is willing to sell the security (due to circumstances other than isolated events that are not subject to the entity's control, are not recurring, and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the entity) in response to changes in market interest rates or risks, liquidity needs, changes in the availability and profitability of alternative investments, changes in terms and sources of financing, or changes in foreign exchange risk, or

c)

the issuer has the right to settle a security for an amount significantly lower than its amortized cost.

GA1

For the purposes of the Reclassifications section, an entity does not have a demonstrated capacity to hold an investment in a security with a fixed maturity until maturity if:

a)

it does not have available financial resources to continue financing its investment until maturity, or

b)

it is subject to a legal or other type of restriction that may frustrate its intention to hold the investment until maturity.

Specific Cases

GA2

Variable interest rate debt securities may meet the conditions to be classified as held-to-maturity securities.

GA3

Credit risk does not prevent a security from being classified as held-to-maturity, provided that contractual payments are fixed and determinable, and that the other conditions for such classification are met.

GA4

Equity instruments cannot be classified as held-to-maturity because they have an indefinite life (such as shares), or because the amounts that the entity might receive would vary in an unpredictable manner. Likewise, if the terms of a perpetual debt security contemplate interest payments for an indefinite time, the security cannot be classified as held-to-maturity.
