For the purposes of the aforementioned calculation, provisions for investments, provisions for accounts receivable, and provisions for assets received in payment, adjudicated assets, and recovered assets are considered part of specific provisions.
32.3 The accepted credit risk mitigants are cash deposits in national and foreign currency held in the lending Coopac and subject to a security interest constituted in accordance with the Law.

Fund in favor of the Coopac is in force, in accordance with the rules established by said Fund, the portion of the mortgage loan for housing covered by said fund receives a weighting factor in accordance with Article 33. To the portion covered by the net realization value of the mortgage guarantee, net of the MIVIVIENDA S.A. Fund coverage, a weighting factor of 50% is applied. To the balance of the loan, a weighting factor of 100% is applied.
Article 35.- Contingent Exposures
35.1 Contingent exposures, including exposures with derivatives, are multiplied by a credit conversion factor (CCF) to calculate the equivalent direct exposure to credit risk, then receive the corresponding weighting factor taking into account the aforementioned.
35.2 Available credit lines that can be unconditionally cancelled by the Coopac at any time or for which automatic cancellation is contemplated in the event of deterioration of the borrower's solvency receive a credit conversion factor of 0%. Surety bonds backing obligations to do and not to do receive a credit conversion factor of 50%.
