5.19

Accounting principles A financial asset (or group of similar financial assets) is derecognizedwhen the contractualrights to the asset’s future cash flows have expiredor when such rights are transferredto a third party, togetherwith virtuallyall of the risks and rewards associatedwith ownership of the asset. In such case, rights and obligations created or retained as a result of the transfer are recorded in a separate line under financial assets and liabilities. When a financial asset is derecognized, a gain or loss on disposal is recorded in the income statement reflecting the differencebetween the carrying amount of the asset and the consideration received. In the event that the Group has neither transferred nor retained virtually all of the risks and rewards, but has retained control of the asset, the asset continues to be recognizedon the balance sheet to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In the event that the Group has neither transferred nor retained virtually all of the risks and rewards and has not retainedcontrol of the asset, the asset is derecognizedand all of the rights and obligationscreated or retained as a result of the transfer are recorded in a separate line under financial assets and liabilities. If all the conditions for derecognizinga financial asset are not met, the Group keeps the asset in the balance sheet and recordsa liability representingthe obligationsarisingwhen the asset is transferred. The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) only when it is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, terminated or expires. Repurchase agreements Securities sold under repurchase agreements are not derecognizedin the vendor’saccounts.A liability representing the commitmentto return the funds received is identifiedand recognized under “Securities sold under repurchase agreements”. This debt is a financial liability recorded at

amortizedcost or at fair value throughprofit or loss when this liability is considered part of a trading business model. The assets received are not recognized in the purchaser’s books, but a receivableis recordedwith respect to the vendor representing the funds loaned. The amount disbursed in respect of the asset is recognized under “Securities purchased under resale agreements”.On subsequentbalance sheet dates, the securities continue to be accounted for by the vendor in accordance with the rules applicable to the category in which they were initially classified. The receivable is valued according to methods specific to its category: at amortizedcost when classified in “Loans and receivables”,or at fair value throughprofit or loss when it is consideredpart of a trading business model. Outright securities lending Securities loaned under outright securities lending transactions are not derecognized in the vendor’s accounts. They continue to be recognized in their original accounting category and are valued accordingly. For the borrower, the securities borrowed are not recognized. Transactions leading to substantial changes in financial assets When an asset is subject to substantial changes (in particular following renegotiation or remodeling due to financial hardship) there is derecognition,since the rights to the initial cash flows have essentiallyexpired. The Group considersthat this is the case for: changes leading to a change of counterparty, especially if • the new counterparty has a very different credit quality than the previous counterparty; changes intended to move from a very structured to basic • indexing, as the two assets are not exposed to the same risks. Transactions leading to substantial changes in financial liabilities A substantial change to the terms of a lending instrument must be recorded as the extinguishmentof the existing debt
