Supervisor of Banks Reporting Instructions to Banks: Annual Monetary Report 661-15.1 Fees and Non-refundable Costs

10.2.2
A banking entity originating a loan (including acquiring a loan from another party or originating the loan through the borrower) may incur fees and non-refundable costs related to the activities attributed to the granting of loans and the acquisition of loans. This section regulates the accounting treatment and reporting of such fees and non-refundable costs.

These are generally divided into two categories:
(a) Efforts required to identify potential borrowers and draw down funds (disbursement of funds); (b) Efforts required to create a loan or loan commitment (originating the loan) after a potential borrower has requested a loan or loan commitment.

Fees and non-refundable costs include, for example: origination fees, points, placement fees, application fees, commitment fees, fees for reorganizing, management fees, syndication fees, and credit card arrangement fees. For the purposes of this section, these are considered fees, but not commitment fees or syndication fees.

10.2.3
Credit card arrangements include available credit lines similar to credit card arrangements and credit card fees collected in connection with such cards. These are considered in part as commitment fees (credit card fees). Banking entities issuing credit cards (including other similar cards and bank charge cards) may charge an origination fee, a fee for issuing the credit card, a periodic renewal fee, or a fee for extending the rights granted by the credit card as part of sales promotion. These issuers may waive the payment of credit card fees to retain existing cardholders or acquire new ones, for a specific period or in certain cases, or for a longer period. Other banking entities issuing credit cards do not require any fee for the use of the credit card.

10.2.4
A banking entity (credit card issuer) may acquire credit card accounts (may acquire credit card accounts). Typically, these are credit card accounts with no outstanding balances that have not yet been paid off.

Other costs related to loan origination
All other costs related to loan origination, including activities conducted by the banking entity for publication purposes, soliciting potential borrowers, servicing existing loans, establishing credit policy, monitoring and management, employee compensation and benefits, and other related activities, shall be expensed as incurred. These activities are not efforts to originate loans. "Idle time" and occupancy costs, rent, depreciation, general and administrative expenses, and equipment and software costs are considered indirect costs and shall be expensed as incurred.

10.5.4
Definition of Directly Related Loan Origination Costs Costs related to processing loans intended for deferral as directly related loan origination costs are not other costs related to loan origination. These costs are not incurred for activities other than originating that loan, as specified in the definition of the term.

10.5.5
Definition of Directly Related Loan Origination Costs Costs paid to a law firm for services related to processing loans intended for origination are not eligible for deferral as directly related loan origination costs. These are not costs incurred after the loan has been placed, due to the services performed.

10.5.6
Definition of Directly Related Loan Origination Costs Bonuses based on the successful placement of loans and paid to employees involved in the activities are partially deferrable as directly related loan origination costs.

This term is deferred only for loans completed, even if the fees constitute 100% of the compensation based on completed loans.

10.5.8
Cost Determination
This section does not specify how to determine costs. In many cases, it is possible to use standard costing (standard costing) to defer costs in accordance with the conditions of this section. The cost of origination for certain loans may be similar to other loans, while costs for other loans may be identifiable separately for borrowers. Methods may be used in conjunction with any system to provide adequate information for reporting purposes. The development of a standard costing system is mandatory. If necessary, periodic variance analysis (variances) may be required to adjust the estimates of standard costing methods. Standard costs include costs attributed to transactions performed to measure.

Actual costs (actual costs), standard costs (standard costs), job process (job process), job order (job order), homogeneous loans (homogeneous loans), specific loans (specific loans), for example.

10.5.9
The accounting achievement of the successful efforts method The use of standard costing may cause the banking entity to not accurately reflect the amount of costs related to loan origination efforts. In accordance with the conditions of this section, costs that can be deferred and reduced may be determined as a percentage of activities (function), such as submission, valuation, underwriting, verification, application, etc., adjusted for each activity, for unsuccessful efforts and time spent on activities not related to them, and for idle time, which are deferrable.

10.5.10
Accounting treatment for costs related to loan origination before the loan is originated In order to evaluate the number of loans to be closed (closed), judgment is required. Costs of successful loan origination can be deferred until the loan is closed or considered successful. If a loan is in the process but has not yet been approved before the balance sheet date, it is determined as unsuccessful effort. Then, costs deferred until the balance sheet date are expensed in the period ending with the balance sheet date.

10.5.11
Commitment Fees
Commitment fees received for creating a commitment are deferred in accordance with Section 10.7.3, specifically for loan groups or loan acquisition.

10.5.12
Directly related loan origination costs incurred as a result of placing a loan commitment are netted against the commitment fee and recognized in accordance with Section 10.7.3.

10.5.13
Costs related to commitments for which commitment fees are applicable. The determination of the net cost (whether a fee was charged or not) depends on the probability of the commitment being exercised. This section defers these items, along with fees and non-refundable costs in Sections 10.5.1 and 10.7.3. If the probability of the commitment being exercised is remote, the net costs are expensed immediately and not deferred on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.

10.5.14
Fees received for issuing commercial letters of credit (commercial letters of credit) are considered commitment fees and are treated in accordance with this section and the accounting treatment specified in Section 10.7.3, credit.

Supervisor of Banks Reporting Instructions to Banks: Annual Monetary Report 661-15.7 Fees and Non-refundable Costs

10.5.15
Credit Card Fees and Credit Card Costs
Credit card fees are generally provided in the form of various quotas of services available to cardholders. Accordingly, periodic fees charged to cardholders are deferred. This accounting treatment also applies to similar arrangements involving the extension of credit (extension of credit) by the card issuer.

10.5.16
Only origination costs eligible for deferral as directly related loan origination costs are eligible for deferral. All other costs shall be expensed as incurred. Therefore, costs likely (likely) to be eligible for deferral shall be expensed as incurred. Only fees when a credit card is first issued.

10.5.17
Origination costs for credit cards are netted against the fee related to the card. If significant fees are charged in cases where there is a significant period (the privilege period) during which the fee grants the cardholder the right to use the credit card, this period is estimated to be one year for this purpose. If no significant fee is charged, the related costs are estimated based on the fee amount relative to the related costs.

10.5.18
Accounting treatment for acquired credit card accounts (accounts) In accordance with this section, the treatment is specific to the acquisition of accounts, similar to the treatment of loan origination (originations). Amounts paid to a third party for the acquisition of credit card accounts are deferred and netted against the credit card fee, if applicable.

10.5.19
Loan Syndication Fees (Loan Syndication Fees)
The banking entity organizing the loan syndication (the syndicator) recognizes fees on the portion of the loan retained by the syndicator, unless the loan is completed at the time of syndication. If the syndicator retains a portion of the loan created in the syndication, the yield on the retained portion is lower than the average yield on the portion of the loan transferred to the syndication participants. After the fees brought into account by the syndicator, the syndicator defers the portion of the syndication fee such that the yield on the retained portion does not fall below the average yield on the loans held by the other syndication participants (held by).

10.5.20
All transactions structured as legal syndications of loans are treated as accounting syndications in accordance with the conditions of this section.

10.5.21
Not included.

10.5.22
Loan Group or Loan Acquisition
Section 10.6.5 clarifies that the initial investment in a loan acquired in a group or acquired is included in the amount paid to the seller plus all fees received, less any fees received. The investment in acquired loans is often close to the difference in the loan principal amount at the time of acquisition.

10.5.23
Costs incurred in connection with taking on a commitment to acquire loans or loan origination as a cost of origination or fee of origination are not appropriate for acquired loans, as the acquired loan has already been created by another party. Costs incurred in connection with taking on a commitment to acquire loans or loan origination, including costs related to loan participation (participation), shall be expensed in accordance with Section 10.7.15.

10.5.24
For the originating lender (the originating lender), the net costs and fees attributed to participation in the loan will be a component of the remaining investment in the loan and will be used to calculate the subsequent gain or loss on the sale of the loan as described in Section 10.7.16.

10.5.25
Unrelated Third Parties
If a banking entity uses a third party to create loans, the banking entity shall defer those related costs, even though the third party is not considered dependent for several reasons. It can be determined that they meet the criteria for specific activities directly related to loan origination costs. All other costs incurred for purposes other than this loan are not eligible for deferral under the definition of the term.

10.5.26
Fees paid to unrelated third parties for consulting services are not considered directly related loan origination costs, even if the activities are conducted in the same specific activities determined for internal purposes. They are expensed as incurred, whether paid to unrelated third parties or incurred internally.

10.5.27
Fees paid to an unrelated third party or incurred internally for management of investments or consulting are considered other costs related to taking on a commitment to acquire loans or loan origination, as they constitute investment consulting costs, not costs for loan origination. Therefore, these costs are expensed in accordance with Section 10.7.15, whether paid to third parties or incurred internally. Judgment is required to determine if the third party is dependent in certain circumstances.

compensating balance) arrangements

If the organization or financing is not renewed, or if only minor changes were made to the loan contract (10.7.9), the original net investment shall include the reduced net fees or costs incurred for the loan, as well as any penalties for early repayment. In this case, the new loan investment shall include all additional loan amounts, the net investment balance of the original loan, all costs directly incurred in creating it, and all fees received, attributed to the renewed organization or financing.

If a change in a debt instrument is considered more than minor in accordance with Section 10.7.10 (10.7.11), the banker shall evaluate whether the difference between the new present value of cash flows in accordance with the new debt instrument terms and the original present value of cash flows in accordance with the original debt instrument terms is at least 10% different. If the difference is less than 10%, the banker shall evaluate whether the change is more minor based on specific facts and circumstances (including other relevant factors related to the change).

Regarding changes in terms related to the restructuring of problematic debt, any fees received and all costs incurred shall be deducted from the recorded loan balance. Direct costs of creating the loan shall be expensed as incurred.

Mortgage Loan Payment Changes

The banker and the borrower may enter into an agreement within the framework of the mortgage payments at the end of a specific period, allowing the borrower to complete (forgive) a portion of the loan principal. If the borrower receives a principal reduction but does not pay less than the beginning of the agreement, the guidelines in Section 10.7.11 shall apply. If the change is considered more minor in accordance with Section 10.7.10, assuming the borrower is expected to continue paying the increased payments, the expense related to the partial forgiveness shall be accumulated over the specified period throughout the period of the increased payments.

A banking corporation may reduce interest rates in general due to a decrease in interest rates. If the change in interest rate does not require additional closure of the loan, the borrower is not obligated to pay a larger part. The 10% test shall be applied for the purpose of calculating the present value of cash flows in accordance with the guidelines in Codification 470.

Reporting Requirements for Banks by the Supervisor: Annual Financial Report 661-15.13

The standard closure costs shall be compared to the effective yield rate. The effective yield rate of the new loan shall be compared to the effective yield rate of other comparable loans offered to customers of the banking corporation. If the yield rate of the new loan is at least as favorable as the effective yield rate of these loans, the guidelines in Section 10.7.11 shall be used to determine whether the change is considered more minor. If not, the reduced net fees and costs of the original loan and any penalties for early repayment shall be included as part of the net investment in the new loan. However, if the change in the interest rate is accounted for as a refinancing in accordance with Section 10.7.18, it shall be treated in accordance with Sections 10.7.9 to 10.7.10.

Acquisition of Loans or Groups of Loans

Section 10.6.5 clarifies that the initial investment in an acquired loan or group of loans includes the amount paid to the seller plus all fees, net of any fees received, as clarified in Section 10.5.22. This difference shall be recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the life of the loan, as the initial investment in the loan is close to the loan principal amount at the time of the loan.

Section 10.6.5 clarifies that in applying the conditions of this section for acquired loans, the purchaser may allocate the initial investment to the acquired loans as a group, or may account for the initial investment separately for each loan, provided that the cash flows specified in the underlying loan contracts are aggregated. If the effective interest method is not applied in accordance with Section 10.7.26, or if prepayments are not expected to occur, despite prepayments occurring, the proportional amount of the fees related to the purchase discount or premium and deferred fees or costs shall be recognized in the profit or loss upon sale, so that the effective interest rate of the remaining loans does not change.

Other Interest and Amortization Methods

Deferred net costs or net fees shall not be amortized during periods in which interest income is not recognized from loans due to concerns regarding the realization of the loan principal or interest thereon.

Deferred net costs or net fees shall be recognized as adjustments to the yield over the life of the loan, except as stated in the aforementioned sections, in accordance with the interest method, for the purpose of recording interest income. Sections 10.7.21 to 10.7.24 include periodic interest (including fees and costs) at the effective yield rate.

Reporting Requirements for Banks by the Supervisor: Annual Financial Report 661-15.14

The debt balance on the net investment in the loan (receivable) shall be fixed, adjusted by fees, by deferred net costs, or by purchase discount or premium. The periodic amortization amount is the difference between the stated periodic interest income and the set periodic interest rate. Section 4 applies to this section.

When the stated interest rate is variable, the interest method shall be applied as follows throughout the loan period:

a. If the stated interest rate on the loan increases during the loan period, the interest accrued in accordance with the interest method shall be such that the interest amount accrued (in accordance with the stated interest rate) does not exceed the amount that can be settled by the borrower, taking into account the amount that can be settled by the borrower in determining early repayment penalties. Only the penalties that can be imposed on the loan in accordance with the loan terms shall be taken into account in determining the amount that can be settled by the borrower. (See guidelines in Codification 310-20-55). A limit is imposed on the periodic amortization amount that can be recognized, but this limit does not apply to costs directly incurred (costs incurred in creating the investment such as purchase premiums and loan creation costs). The limit is a contingent right to receive interest income through the accumulation of interest income, contingent only on the loan net investment being greater than the costs incurred.

b. If the stated interest rate on the loan decreases during the loan period, the periodic interest amount received at the beginning of the loan period in accordance with the loan period shall be calculated in accordance with the periodic interest income. The excess shall be deferred and recognized in future periods, in accordance with the interest method, at the fixed effective yield rate calculated in accordance with the stated interest rate. (See guidelines in Codification 310-20-55).

c. If the stated interest rate on the loan is variable based on changes, the fixed effective yield rate required for the recognition of fees and costs shall be based on the factor or index (such as LIBOR - London Interbank Offered Rate, Prime Rate) applicable at the inception (day of grant) of the loan.

See guidelines regarding the interest method in paragraphs 35-20-55 to 35-835-30-35-2 in Codification.

Reporting Requirements for Banks by the Supervisor: Annual Financial Report 661-15.15

(See guidelines in Codification 310-20-55 regarding the application of the loan as variable based on the factor or loan interest rate. Also subject to the conditions in paragraphs (a) and (b) of its initial interest rate based on the variable factor).

When determining the stated interest rate of a variable interest rate loan in accordance with Section 10.7.19, the banking corporation shall calculate the fixed effective yield based on the use of future changes dependent on the factor or factor that is variable throughout the life of the loan, in accordance with the guidelines. The banking corporation shall not pass to the alternative specified in paragraph (c) of Section 10.7.18. The banker must choose one of the two alternatives and apply the method consistently throughout the life of the loan.

In the period of a variable interest rate loan dependent on a factor, the fixed effective yield shall not be recalculated from the date of the change, but from the date of the loan. See Example 9 to illustrate the guidelines for application. (Paragraph 310-20-55-43 in Codification).

Agreements for Loans that do not specify repayment schedules (10.7.21):
Other agreements granting the borrower the option to take a number of payments up to a maximum amount of loans, parts of loans prior to (revolving lines of credit); contracts under which the borrower can renew. (lines of credit).

If the banking corporation requires that fees or net costs be paid for the loan (10.7.22), they shall be recognized as adjustments to the yield over the period on a straight-line basis, consistent with the following:

a. Understandings between the banking corporation and the borrower. b. If there are no existing understandings, the banking corporation shall estimate the period during which the loan will remain outstanding; when the loan is fully paid, the unamortized amount shall be recognized.

The banking corporation shall monitor these estimates regularly and update them. If, contrary to expectations, a loan has not been paid off after the period, no adjustment is required to the expected repayment date.

For revolving lines of credit or similar loan arrangements (10.7.23), net costs or net fees shall be recognized in the profit or loss over the period of the active revolving line of credit, assuming loans are available. If the borrower pays off all loans in accordance with the maximum set in the loan contract and cannot renew his loans, the unamortized net costs or net fees shall be recognized in the profit or loss at the time of repayment.

Reporting Requirements for Banks by the Supervisor: Annual Financial Report 661-15.16

The interest method shall be applied to recognize net fees or net costs when the loan agreement does not specify a repayment schedule and no additional loans have been given.

For example, if the loan agreement grants the borrower the option to convert to a line of credit, and the banking corporation recognizes net costs or net fees over the period of the revolving line of credit on a straight-line basis in the profit or loss over the remaining life of the fixed-term loan and the revolving line of credit combined, if the borrower chooses to convert the line of credit to a fixed-term loan, the banking corporation shall recognize net costs or net fees using the interest method. If the revolving line of credit expires and the loans are settled, the unamortized net costs or net fees shall be recognized in the profit or loss at the time of repayment.

If the borrower still has a contractual right to borrow under the revolving line of credit (10.7.25), the net fees and net costs attributed to the revolving line of credit shall be amortized. If the period of the line of credit is not used, or if a specific period is not used, the unamortized net costs or net fees shall be recognized in the profit or loss at the time of repayment.

Estimating Principal Prepayments (10.7.26):
Except as stated in the following sentence, the calculation of the fixed effective yield shall be based on the required payment terms for the application of the interest method, and an estimate of principal prepayments shall not be made to shorten the loan period, unless the banking corporation holds a large number of similar loans for which prepayments are expected and the amount and timing of prepayments can be reasonably estimated. The banking corporation may take into account prepayment estimates in calculating the fixed effective yield for the application of the interest method. If the banking corporation makes an estimate of prepayments for the application of the interest method and a difference arises between the estimate of prepayments and the actual prepayments, the banking corporation shall recalculate the effective yield to reflect the payments actually received up to the time of the calculation, and adjust the net investment in loans to the amount that would have been recorded if the new effective yield had been applied from the date of acquisition, either by debit or credit to the loan balance. Interest income shall be credited.

Reporting Requirements for Banks by the Supervisor: Annual Financial Report 661-15.17

Loans with similar characteristics should be grouped together (10.7.27). It shall be possible to predict past prepayments such that the loans will be similar in a variety of interest rate environments. Loans shall be grouped together for application if the amounts of net fees or net costs are sufficiently similar. In the case of an individual loan, it shall be practical to recalculate the balance sheet balance of this loan.

A banking corporation may, in accordance with Section 10.7.28, use one method for various loans or choose different methods for loans, based on the characteristics of the loans. For example, homogeneous mortgage loans can be grouped, but when the banker chooses, the appropriate accounting method for the accounting treatment of the loan group or loan life must be used. The banking corporation must continue to use the same method over the life of the loans.

If the accounting treatment is for each loan separately (10.7.29), the contract life shall be adjusted on the basis of actual prepayments for net fees or net costs.

The banking corporation shall take into account several characteristics in determining (10.7.30). The purpose is to evaluate all characteristics that will affect the ability of the banking corporation to estimate the behavior of a group of loans. Examples of certain characteristics to take into account when grouping loans include:

a. Loan type. b. Loan size.
c. Nature and location of collateral.
d. Coupon interest rate. e. Repayment date. f. Creation period. g. Historical prepayment history of the loans (if any). h. Level of net fees or costs.
i. Penalties for prepayment.
j. Type of interest rate (variable or fixed).

Reporting Requirements for Banks by the Supervisor: Annual Financial Report 661-15.18

Expected prepayments in a variety of interest rate scenarios.

If the banking corporation meets the requirements of Section 10.7.31, it shall take into account prepayments in calculating the fixed effective yield. It shall take into account several factors in estimating prepayments. The banking corporation shall take into account historical data in estimating prepayments. In addition, the banking corporation shall take into account external information, including published mortality tables, economic conditions, and existing and projected interest rates. If changes occur in the estimates of prepayments during the period, or if actual prepayments differ from the estimated prepayments, an adjustment is required.

If the banking corporation loses the ability to group loans in a general way after recognizing part of the loans (10.7.32), the unique distinction of the loans shall be calculated. The profit or loss on the sold or paid-off loans shall be appropriate based on the ratio of net fees or net costs to the loan balances. If the banking corporation has sufficient recorded accounting information to perform specific identification of the profit or loss, the grouped loans shall be identified.

Assuming a banking corporation is a purchaser of a bond with a premium redeemable at a price lower than the earliest possible date (10.7.33), the amortization period of the premium shall not be earlier than the date the issuer can prepay the loan in accordance with Section 10.7.26. The banking corporation shall take into account the possibility of holding a large number of similar loans in estimating prepayments for the application of the interest method.

Transactions Related to Loan Origination Other Than Loans (10.7.34):
A banking corporation may receive fees for transactions related to loan origination other than loans. For example, the borrower may pay a fee to the banker for extending the contractual repayment date of an existing loan, for converting a fixed-rate mortgage to a variable interest rate, or for taking out a new loan by a new borrower. In each of these situations, the banking corporation gave the loan itself to the borrower or the original borrower waived it. Therefore, all fees received shall be recognized as adjustments to the yield over the life of the loan.

Blended Rate Loans (10.7.35):
A loan bearing a variety of interest rates is a loan where the interest rate is subject to the resulting difference between the existing loan and the market rate. This arrangement is not considered a refinancing like any other new loan, but it does not meet the yield criteria specified in Section 10.7.9. Therefore, net fees and net costs incurred for the refinancing, as well as net fees and net costs related to the existing loan, shall be transferred to the new loan as a blended rate, since the new loan is offered at a market rate lower than loans with similar collection risks to other customers of the banking corporation.

310-20-40.10.8

Allocation of Fees

Except in cases specified in Sections 10.7.3(a)-(b), for fees received for loan origination commitments, acquisition of loans or groups of loans, or commitments, the fees shall be recognized in the profit or loss upon expiration of the commitment, without being realized.

310-20-45.10.9

Balance Sheet Classification

Unamortized fees for loan origination (10.9.1) shall be reported by the banking corporation in the balance sheet as an adjustment to the yield of credit commitments, fees, and other costs, including purchase discounts and premiums, related to the loan balance.

Credit allocation fees meeting the criteria of Section 10.7.3 shall be classified as deferred income in the financial statements (10.9.2).

Profit or Loss Classification

Amounts of fees for loan origination, credit allocation fees, and other fees and costs (10.9.3) recognized as adjustments to the yield shall be reported as part of interest income. Other fees, such as unamortized credit allocation fees, shall be reported as fee income upon expiration of the commitment or over the period of the commitment included in income. See 310-20-50.10.10.

Disclosure of Net Fees and Costs

This section requires the main accounting policy explanation to include the interest method (10.10.1), including the banking corporation's policy on the treatment of related fees and costs, including net deferred costs or net deferred fees. Banking corporations using estimates of prepayments for the application of the interest method shall disclose the significance of this policy and the estimates of prepayments on which it is based (10.10.2). Unamortized net fees and net costs shall be reported as part of any loan group (10.10.3). Separate disclosure may be given in the notes to the financial statements if the banking corporation believes this information is useful to users of the financial statements. Regarding credit card fees and costs (10.10.4), the banking corporation shall disclose the unamortized net amount as of the balance sheet date, the accounting policy, and the amortization periods, for credit cards issued and acquired.

Adaptation.11

a. Assets (excluding securities for value) and liabilities linked to foreign currency shall be included in the balance sheet other than at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, unless otherwise determined by the terms of the linked agreement. They shall be included in accordance with the agreement terms, to a lower index or consumer price index.

b. A lower interest rate shall be included between the interest rate given to the receiver and the higher of the two.

The adjustment is a significant unobservable input and the adjustment is at Level 2.

Cancelled.

Level 1 Data

Level 1 data are adjusted quoted prices for assets or liabilities in active markets (40).

The reporting banking corporation has access to identical assets or liabilities at the time of measurement.

A quoted price in an active market is the most reliable evidence of fair value (41).

Except as specified in Section 41.H.19, adjustments to fair value measurement are available at all times.

a. Cancelled.

b. Level 1 data will be available for many financial assets and liabilities. Therefore, emphasis is placed on trading in multiple active markets (e.g., different exchanges). The following two factors determine Level 1:

a. The primary market of the asset or liability – or, in the absence of a primary market, the most useful market of the asset or liability.

b. Whether the reporting banking corporation can enter into a transaction for the asset or liability at the market price at the time of measurement.

A reporting banking corporation shall not apply Level 1 data in the following circumstances (41c):

a. When the reporting banking corporation holds a large number of similar liabilities or assets (e.g., bonds) that are similar but not identical, and although a quoted price is available in an active market for one of the assets, it will be difficult for the reporting banking corporation to obtain information on pricing for each separate liability or asset held, given the large number of similar assets and liabilities. In this case.

b. A reporting banking corporation may use alternative pricing methods for practical reasons (e.g., not relying exclusively on quoted prices). With the use of alternative pricing methods, the fair value shall be classified at a lower level.

c. When a quoted price in an active market does not represent fair value at the time of measurement, for example, if significant events occur between market transactions (e.g., primary-to-primary trading, announcements, or intermediated trading) after the market close before the measurement date. The reporting banking corporation shall determine whether these events affect fair value measurements. With consistent policy to identify these events, if the adjusted quoted price provides new information, the fair value measurement shall be classified at a lower level.

d. When measuring the fair value of a liability or equity instrument classified in owners' equity, the reporting banking corporation shall use the quoted price for the shares of the entity for which the item is specific, and this price should be adjusted for factors specific to the item.

A banking corporation may continue to measure fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet using the exchange rate. The exchange rate shall be considered Level 1 data.

Management Review

Exposure to changes in interest rates

A banking institution is not required to classify a financial instrument as a complex financial instrument if it is able to reflect its interest rate exposure through disclosure of the remaining maturity periods of the cash flows in a reasonable manner. For example, a banking institution is not required to classify a financial instrument as a complex financial instrument if it has components that are not separable.

(2/14) [1] Directions for Public Reporting: The Supervisor of Banks 673-2 'Am (Transition Directions for 2013)

If the institution is required to separate embedded options that are not essential to the public reporting directions under Part 1A, it may separate them to reasonably reflect its interest rate exposure. For this purpose, the bank shall treat the option component of these instruments as if they were standalone instruments, and provide separate disclosure. If the treatment of these instruments as mentioned above had a material effect on the fair value, it shall be disclosed on the "Effective Interest Rate" segment in all.

Despite the above, the requirement for separate disclosure of 'Credit Risk Rating Performance' in the Addendum shall apply only from the report for the year 2014 onwards. Early implementation is recommended for non-banking institutions providing credit risk disclosure. The format of disclosure shall be more suitable for early credit rating performance reports.
A banking institution is required to provide comparative number disclosure in accordance with the format of the public reporting directions, except for the following exceptions:
a. A banking institution is not required to provide comparative number disclosure regarding "Problem Debts" in the notes. "Problem Debts" were not provided in the financial report for the year 2012 due to the transition directions. b. A banking institution is permitted to provide comparative number disclosure in the notes regarding additional information on "Problem Debts" presented in the format of "Average Balance - Impaired Debts" in accordance with the directions for the transition year 2012.

Section 19 of the Public Reporting Directions - Fair Value Measurement

Counterparty Credit Risk in the Calculation of Fair Value of Derivatives

The data to be used in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives shall be provided by a banking institution in its quarterly and annual financial reports for 2012 and 2013. A banking institution is permitted to make adjustments regarding counterparty credit risk for derivatives as follows:
a. When liquid collateral exists that provides specific certainty, the institution is required to make adjustments for the quality of the counterparty credit of the derivative instrument. b. When the exposure to the counterparty is not significantly unified, the banking institution is required to make reasonable efforts to find indications of market transactions for the active side of the credit quality, such as deriving indications from transactions with similar counterparties (excluding the derivative counterparty) and prices of debt instruments traded in the active market.

(2/14) [1] Directions for Public Reporting: The Supervisor of Banks 673-4 'Am (Transition Directions for 2013)

To the extent that such indications do not exist, the banking institution may calculate the adjustments based on internal ratings (such as expected default rates, credit loss rates).
c. Regarding other counterparties, the banking institution may calculate the "H" adjustment based on a unified basis, for example, using a credit quality index for groups of similar counterparties, based on internal ratings.
d. The banking institution is required to check the reasonableness of the results obtained according to this section and, if necessary, make adjustments based on market spreads. e. For this purpose, an exposure exceeding 1% of the banking institution's Tier 1 capital shall be considered a significant exposure.

This transition direction is not effective for the quarterly reports for the year 2014 onwards, for the sake of clarity.

The models to be used in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives shall be provided by a banking institution in its quarterly and annual financial reports for 2012 and 2013. A banking institution is not required to use complex models including various scenarios of potential exposure to measure the credit risk component included in the fair value of derivatives.

This transition direction is not effective for the quarterly reports for the year 2014 onwards, for the sake of clarity.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) - Certain Topics

IAS 28 - Accounting Policy in Investment Companies

Despite the provisions of IAS 28 regarding "Investment Companies," a banking institution is not permitted, for practical reasons, to perform accounting policy alignments for the years 2011, 2012, and 2013. In order for the accounting policy of the included company to be consistent with the banking institution regarding the topics of the core banking business, the banking institution shall provide disclosure according to this section.

It is clarified:

a. Prepayment fees on loans created before 1.1.2014 shall continue to be treated as accounting items until 31.12.2013, in accordance with the public reporting directions. b. A banking institution is not required to determine whether a loan modification constitutes a restructuring of debt. A modification is considered minor if it does not meet the quantitative test specified in Section 10.7.11 of the public reporting directions regarding problematic loans. A banking institution may determine, in accordance with the public reporting directions, that a change in the currency of a loan is not a minor change. b. For other loans, a banking institution may use reasonable estimates to meet the quantitative test. The accounting shall be prudent, ensuring that the calculation involves accurate calculation of present value. The banking institution shall maintain documentation showing that this accounting treatment meets all material aspects of the directions in Section 10A. If it is possible to use reasonable estimates to determine that the change is minor, as mentioned above.
c. A banking institution is not required to treat fees for credit allocation as required in Section 10.7.3 of the public reporting directions. A banking institution may treat fees as follows:
a. Assume that the probability of fulfilling the commitment to extend credit is remote. b. Recognize a relative portion of the credit allocation fee at each credit utilization date, based on a straight-line basis over the period, calculated as the relative portion of the utilized credit facility from the total credit facility, plus a reasonable additional amount to ensure prudent treatment similar to loan repayments.
c. Regardless of whether the credit facility has expired, if the commitment to extend credit has not expired, recognize the fee for the portion of the utilized credit facility in the profit and loss statement at the time the commitment expires and the loss occurs.

Implementation of the Direction Regarding Measurement, Disclosure of Problem Debts, and Provisions for Credit Risk

A banking institution is required to cancel, from 1.1.12 onwards, the accumulation of currency exchange differences on the fund for credit losses. This applies only to debts classified as impaired from 1.1.12 onwards, for which payment has not yet been made.

Transfers of Financial Assets and Services and Settlement of Liabilities

Deferred Rights Retained in a Securitization Transaction (See Section 6.2.2 of "Chaimovitz Committee - Credit")

When a banking institution implements these directions and transferred financial assets in a securitization transaction recorded as a sale, it shall treat the deferred rights retained in the transfer as follows after initial recognition:
The carrying amount of the deferred rights shall be amortized using the straight-line method over a period not exceeding 36 months from the date of creation (1/36 deducted at the end of the first month, 1/35 deducted at the end of the second month, etc., from the balance).
At each reporting date, there is a need to examine the impairment of the deferred rights.
If a significant portion of the deferred rights retained is sold to non-affiliated parties after the securitization, the remaining deferred rights shall be measured in accordance with the relevant sections of the public reporting directions.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit and Risk to Public Credit According to the Size of the Borrower's Credit

A banking institution may include the balance of "Derivatives Assets for Borrowers" in the column "Balance Sheet Credit Risk" and provide disclosure on the total balances referred to as "Credit for Borrowers" in the notes to "B.4" of the public report.

Contingent Claims

Regarding contingent claims with a remote possibility of realization, as stated in Section 47.B.4(1)(b) (Page 663-11.1), a banking institution is permitted, in accordance with the public reporting directions, to present the additional exposure amount in one of the amounts.

Assets and Liabilities Based on Basic Indexation and Maturity

A banking institution is not required to present future cash flows for assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates based on the expected change in the variable interest rate index according to conventional market yields. A banking institution may present the cash flows in accordance with the international public reporting directions (Section 51.B.5, Page 663-16), assuming no change in the variable interest rate base at the known time of the public reporting.
Instead, a banking institution is required to present cash flows for assets based on the distinction between foreign currency and the consumer price index or basic currency for indexation. This direction applies to the distinction between foreign currency and Israeli currency (including Israeli currency linked to foreign currency) and liabilities. This direction shall be applied from the reports for the year 2013 onwards, within the reclassification of comparative numbers for previous years.
Disclosure on cash flows for net settled derivative instruments in accordance with Section 22.D.2(1) shall vary as follows: According to the public reporting directions, the expected contractual balance sheet cash flow for the instrument shall be reported. There is no need to report if the derivative is classified as Israeli currency or foreign currency according to the currency in which settlement will be carried out. This direction shall be applied from the reports for the year 2013 onwards, within the reclassification of comparative numbers for previous years, regarding balance sheet foreign currency amounts of derivative instruments.

Qualitative Disclosure

A. A banking corporation must provide summarized information regarding the main characteristics of its capital instruments as detailed in the table in Appendix 1.

The banking corporation must update this table on an ongoing basis if any of its capital instruments have been issued, redeemed, converted, cancelled, or if there has been a material change in their nature. It is clarified that there is no need to update the table after such an event unless it remains updated.

B. A banking corporation must provide additional disclosure regarding the composition of supervisory capital in accordance with the following guidelines:

Provide disclosure of ratios based on components of supervisory capital (e.g., "Tangible Common Equity" ratio), adding a comprehensive explanation of how these ratios were calculated.
Provide full disclosure of all conditions and contingencies related to all instruments included in supervisory capital.

Quantitative Disclosure

C. Disclosure regarding the composition of supervisory capital must be provided in accordance with the guidelines specified in Appendix 2.

Quantitative Disclosure

B.Disclosures arising from credit risk:

Capital requirements calculated according to risk-weighted assets.

This work on capital was updated in accordance with the document published by the Basel Committee in June 2012, titled "Disclosure Requirements on the Composition of Capital."

When tables indicate that capital requirements exist for risk-weighted assets, the capital requirements are calculated according to those risk-weighted assets. For example, for a banking corporation that does not meet the definition of a bank, the total capital requirement is double the percentage of 12.5% for risk-weighted assets, which are particularly significant.
