IF THEREIS A SUPPLEMENTARY RETIREMENTS OR SURVIVOR'S PENSION PLAN IN FAVOUR OF THE PERSONNEL OR THE EXECUTIVES OF THE ENTERPRISE, A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUCH PLAN OF THE MEASURES TAKEN BY THE ENTERPRISE TO COVER THE RESULTING CHARGES

All members of staff are covered by a supplementary pension scheme that includes an additional death benefit, orphan's annuity and invalidity benefits. The amount covered under these schemes (which are defined benefit schemes) depends on the average final salary, number of years of service and age at the time of retirement.

These pension schemes are financed entirely by the employer through annual contributions that are recognised in the income statement.

IF THEREIS A SUPPLEMENTARY RETIREMENTS OR SURVIVOR'S PENSION PLAN IN FAVOUR OF THE PERSONNEL OR THE EXECUTIVES OF THE ENTERPRISE, A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUCH PLAN OF THE MEASURES TAKEN BY THE ENTERPRISE TO COVER THE RESULTING CHARGES

These contributions, calculated on an actuarial basis using the aggregate cost method, are transferred to the Pensioenfonds KBC OFP (KBC pension fund for employees) and the Pensioenfonds Senior Management KBC OFP (KBC pension fund for senior management), whose specific task is to manage the accrued reserves, to pay out the supplementary pension benefit and to carry out the necessary administration.

Members of the Executive Committee also benefit from a supplementary pension scheme that is based on similar principles.

In addition, staff may contribute to a supplementary pension scheme (capitalisation system). It is based solely on members' personal contributions which are deducted directly from their salaries. The bank guarantees capitalisation of the amounts contributed at an interest rate of 4.75% per year for the period up to and including 30 June 1999, and a rate of 3.75% for the period from 1 July 1999, up to the time the benefit is paid out. Management of the reserves accrued in this way, their payment and associated administration is the responsibility of the Pensioenfonds KBC OFP and Pensioenfonds Senior Management KBC OFP.

During 2012, a collective labour agreement was concluded for the introduction of a defined contribution plan on 1 January 2014 (mandatory for new employees and voluntary for existing members). For the target group in question, this plan will replace the defined benefit plan funded by the employer. No changes at all have been made to the plan funded solely by members' personal contributions.

I. GENERAL VALUATION RULES

In accordance with Article 28(1) of the Royal Decree of 30 January 2001 for implementing the Companies Code, the directors resolve as follows.

GENERAL

As regards all matters subject to binding law, the general principles laid down in that royal decree shall apply, especially those contained in Chapter II ('Valuation Rules').

As regards those matters for which the law lays down suppletive rules and provided the law confers a choice on the company, the directors resolve that the specific accounting policies should be implemented as set out below.

Insofar as the directors should be of the view that any cases are insufficiently material to warrant a suppletive or derogative ruling and no explicit valuation principle is provided for them in these rules, they shall be dealt with according to the same method types as are contained in the following, and no specific remark will be added in this regard.

The financial year runs from 1 January through 31 December.

The balance sheet and the profit and loss account are prepared annually in euros.

II. ASSETS

1. FORMATION EXPENSES

Capital increase expenses are directly recognised in full in the result of the financial year in which the capital increase takes place.

2. INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

2.1 General

All intangible fixed assets are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortisation.

Intangible fixed assets are amortised on a straight-line, daily basis.

Supplementary or extraordinary amortisation charges are applied if, due to changes in economic or technological circumstances, the relevant carrying value exceeds the value in use.

When intangible fixed assets are sold, realised gains or losses are taken immediately to the income statement.

If these assets are permanently withdrawn from use, the remaining amount to be written off is charged directly to profit or loss.

2.2 Goodwill

'Goodwill' means:

" The positive difference between the acquisition price and the net value of the company (or branch of activity) acquired.

" The positive difference between the contract value of a contribution in kind and its net worth.

Capitalised goodwill is amortised according to the straight-line method over a period of five years, unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise.

2.3 Software

In order to optimise the synergy effect of the KBC merger in Belgium, in principle (and apart from possible exceptions), all software is centralized in KBC Group NV, with the costs of using the software being charged on to users according to actual use and on a 'cost-sharing' basis.

From financial year 2004, the entire cost of all acquisitions of software will be capitalised provided the conditions for capitalisation have been satisfied. Other expenditure relating to the acquisition of software is also capitalised and amortised over the software's economic life. The following distinctions are made as regards software:

System software

'System software' is the initial software linked to the acquisition of hardware, whose installation is needed for the hardware to function. It is software that governs internal operation of the computer and ensures communication with the configuration or the network, and thus includes operating systems, support software and compilers. By purchasing the hardware, KBC generally acquires a lifetime user's licence.

System software is amortised at the same rate as hardware, i.e. over three years from the time it is available for use, according to the straight-line method.

Standard software

'Standard software' means software purchased from third parties, more particularly the 'applications software' referred to by the Belgian Commission for Accounting Standards (CAS), which includes product-linked software, management software, database software, communications software, infrastructure software, security software and development software, in other words, all software that is not operating software and that has a useful life of several years.

Standard software is capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method over five years from the time it is available for use. Core systems with a longer life are amortised straight line over an eight-year period. 'Core systems' are standard types of software including back-end data applications for processing operations during the day and updates of general ledger balances on the mainframe computer. Examples of such core systems include the applications used for processing deposits, loans and credit, interfaces with the general ledger and reporting tools.

Customised and tailor-made software

Some purchased software programs and/or software models are customised before being delivered or put into use. This type of software, developed on a bespoke basis as an addition to existing standard software, is referred to in its entirety as 'customised software'. 'Tailor-made software' means customised software that has been developed from scratch at the request of the bank/insurance to the bank's/insurance's specifications, and not added to existing software.

Recourse is often had to both external and internal information technology experts for this sort of development.

All charges relating to continuity projects, as well as research expenses for investments, are recorded directly in the income statement. However, development expenses (both internal and external) for investments are capitalised as an intangible fixed asset and amortised over a period of five years where the following conditions are met:

" To contribute to the business activities of the company;

" To be of future utility

" The price must be identifiable separately;

" the software will be used in a durable manner for the business.

An investment project is a project that:

  • is an introduction of or a replacement for a major business activity;

  • is large in scope.

Core systems with a longer life are amortised straight line over an eight-year period. 'Core systems' are standard types of software including back-end data applications for processing operations during the day and updates of general ledger balances on the mainframe computer. Examples of such core systems include the applications used for processing deposits, loans and credit, interfaces with the general ledger and reporting tools.

Expenses incurred subsequently relative to customised and tailor-made software are recorded as expenses unless it is probable that the outlay has a future additional utility for the company compared to the initial assessment of the future utility or return. The expense must also be capable of being separately and reliably allocated to the already capitalised software. Where these conditions are met, the additional expense can then be capitalised and amortised over the asset's residual life.

Amortisation is not recognised until such time as the asset is available for use.

  1. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

3.1 General

All tangible fixed assets are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation. Tangible fixed assets are depreciated straight line on a daily basis.

All tangible fixed assets are recorded at acquisition cost, including ancillary, directly atrributable costs (acquisition costs, non-deductible VAT, demolition expenses, etc.). These additional costs are also written off over the life of the asset.

Supplementary or extraordinary depreciation charges are applied if, due to changes in economic or technological circumstances, the carrying value exceeds the value in use.

When tangible fixed assets are sold, realised gains or losses are recognized immediately in the income statement.

When the asset is permanently withdrawn from use, the remaining amount to be written off is charged directly to profit or loss. Tangible fixed assets that demonstrate a long-lasting and sustainable capital gain compared to their carrying value may be revalued. This capital gain is written off over the average residual useful life of the asset in question.

3.2 Movable property

3.2.1 Difference between charges and investments

The acquisition cost of tangible assets is determined by individualization of the cost of each component. Each asset listed on an internal summary is capitalised regardless of acquisition cost. The criteria for including an asset on this list include the unit price, the relative materiality of the type of article and the need for individual follow-up.

For works of art, the limit is 2 500 euros (excluding VAT). If the cost is between 250 and 2 500 euros, however, the item is considered as 'decoration' and capitalised and written off over ten years according to the straight-line method as in the case of furniture. Decorative items costing less than 250 euros are recorded as charges.

3.2.2 Furniture and vehicles

Since financial year 2006, moveable property (mainly furniture) used on administrative premises of KBC Bank and KBC Insurance has been centrally purchased, capitalised and managed.

Furniture is depreciated at 10% over ten years according to the straight-line method.

Since financial year 2007, vehicles have also been capitalised. Vehicles are depreciated at 25%, including non-deductible VAT, on a straight-line basis over four years.

3.2.3 Plant, machinery and equipment in buildings owned by the company

Distinctions are made among various types of plant, each being depreciated at a specific rate (in line with customary practice). It is standard practice to depreciate plant, machinery and equipment designated as hardware according to the straight-line method over a period of three years, such as in the case of personal computers, printers and servers.

Machines that are leased are also written off over three years.

Exceptions to this rule:

  • Alarm installations: 10 years
  • Telephone switchboards: 5 years

  • Cabling: 5 years

  • Industrial plant: 10 years

  • ATMs and deposit machines: 5 years

4. FINANCIAL FIXED ASSETS AND CURRENT INVESTMENTS

4.1 Participating interests and other portfolio securities

Participating interests and shares are valued at acquisition cost, per set identified. The securities sold are valued using the method of individualisation. Additional costs incurred on acquisition of securities are charged immediately to the results for the financial year. When the securities are valued at the end of the financial year and a decline in value is notified and that this decline is considered as long-lasting and sustainable, an impairment equal to the decline in value will be recorded for the securities in question.

To establish the sustainable nature of the decline in value, the Board of Directors may use:

" for listed securities:

o the trend in the share price; o changes in net worth according to the annual accounts;

o The fair value based on the performance of and outlook with regard to profitability

" for unlisted securities:

o changes in net worth according to the annual accounts;

o The fair value based on the performance of and outlook with regard to profitability

If a security on which such an impairment had already been recorded demonstrate a lasting increase in value, the impairment will be reversed in whole or in part.

Participating interests, shares and profit-sharing certificates classified as financial fixed assets may be revalued if, in light of their

usefulness to the company, they demonstrate an incontestable and lasting increase in value.

Listed shares and other variable-yield securities are valued at the lower of their acquisition cost or market value at balance sheet date. Other securities are valued at least once a year, based on the annual accounts for the past year. File administrators are responsible for ensuring that any significant negative changes during the course of the year are also dealt with.

4.2 Own shares (Treasury shares)

The treasury shares the KBC group has or may have in portfolio are made up of two types of shares that must be valued and monitored separately:

" Treasury shares held for the purpose of employee stock option plans are valued at their acquisition cost. If the options are not exercised on the expiry date (because the share price is too low), the shares in question will be cancelled, without having any impact on the result. If there is a legal obstacle blocking cancellation of the shares in question, these shares will be valued as shares that were purchased under the KBC share buyback programm (see below).

When the share options are exercised (the first time was in 2004), the treasury shares repurchased for this purpose are sold. They are removed from the accounts according to the First In, First Out (FIFO) method (at the acquisition cost of the first shares repurchased).

" Treasury shares that are purchased under the KBC share buyback programme are valued per set identified at the lower of their acquisition value and market value at balance sheet date. When they are sold, they are valued (just like shares in the investment portfolio) according to the method of individualization. As long as both types of treasury share are recorded as on-balance-sheet assets, a reserve not available for distribution has to be set aside. When the shares are cancelled, the reserve not available for distribution is reversed. If amounts are written down on the type 2 treasury shares, this amount is transferred directly from the reserve not available for distribution to the reserve available for distribution.

  1. AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT MORE THAN ONE YEAR AND AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE WITHIN ONE YEAR

These are recognised at nominal value. However, amounts receivable represented by fixed-income securities are valued at acquisition cost. The difference between the acquisition costs and the redemption value is reflected as an interest item in the profit and loss account on an accruals basis over the remaining term to maturity of the securities. It is included in the profit and loss account on a discounted basis, based on the internal rate of return at the time of purchase.

The accounting treatment of subordinated loans granted to affiliated companies is similar to fixed income securities as described above. Amounts receivable in foreign currency are recognised at their equivalent euro value using the fixed exchange rate applying at the end of the preceding month. For the purposes of valuation at the end of the financial year, the carrying value is adjusted according to the fixed exchange rate on 31 December.

The positive and negative translation differences are recognised in profit or loss.

If, at the close of the financial year, the realisation value of a receivable is lower than its carrying value, and if this decline in value can be considered real and lasting in nature, an impairment is applied.

Security paid in cash by way of guarantee to public authorities or utilities is recorded in its nominal amount.

6. OTHER ASSETS

6.1. Stocks of warehoused items

Warehoused items comprise requisites for Print and Post-processing assignments.

All items recognised under 'stocks of warehoused items' are valued there for accounting purposes at the moving average price, calculated on the basis of the items' purchase price.

6.2. Orders in progress

Specific software developed by KBC for third parties is recognised under 'orders in progress'. This concerns the marketing of tailor-made software (i.e. software developed on a contractual basis and built entirely to the client's specifications). This software may have been developed from scratch by KBC or using purchased basic software.

The manufacturing price includes all costs that can be allocated directly to the project (e.g., third-party development costs, infrastructure, implementation of software). Maintenance and after-sales service is considered as a period expense.

6.3. Sundry other assets

All other asset items are recorded at nominal value. Amounts receivable in foreign currency are recognised at their equivalent euro value using the fixed exchange rate applying at the end of the preceding month. For the purposes of valuation at the end of the financial year, the carrying value is adjusted according to the fixed exchange rate on 31 December. The positive and negative translation differences are recognised in profit or loss.

6.4. Transitory accounts

These items allow income and expenditure to be allocated to the proper accounting period. The option premiums received with regard to the issued stock option plans are recognised in the profit and loss account as and when, and to the extent that, the stock options expire or are exercised.

The option premiums set aside by the employer are recognised pro rata in the income statement as personnel expenses during the performance period (period between subscription and opportunity to exercise).

If employees who hold options transfer between KBC-group entities, the option premium paid (the part that has not yet been taken to the income statement) is charged to the company the employee is transferring to.

III. LIABILITIES

  1. AMOUNTS PAYABLE

1.1. Debts represented by securities

Debts represented by securities are recognised in the balance sheet in the amount made available, plus or minus the difference between this amount and the redemption price for the portion that has already matured, calculated on the basis of the yield to maturity on recognition. Differences between the amount made available and the redemption value of the debt are recorded as interest on an accruals basis in the profit and loss account.

The costs incurred on issue of the debt securities are recognised as paid commission on a straight-line basis over the term of the instrument. The capitalised costs are recorded under 'Accrued charges and deferred income'.

With regard to commercial paper, the difference between the amount made available and the nominal value is entered pro rata temporis in the profit and loss account as an interest charge.

Subordinated liabilities are measured in the same way as other liabilities, irrespective of whether they are represented by securities. 1.1. Other liabilitities

These are recognised at nominal value. With regard to commercial paper, the difference between the amount made available and the nominal value is entered pro rata temporis in the income statement as an interest charge.

All amounts payable (i.e. amounts payable in respect of tax, remuneration and social security charges, dividends payable on own shares and invoices payable) of a fixed amount or that can be estimated accurately are required to be recorded at nominal value, even if not yet represented by an instrument.

Amounts payable in foreign currency are recognised at their equivalent euro value using the fixed exchange rate applying at the end of the preceding month. For the purposes of valuation at the end of the financial year, the carrying value is adjusted according to the fixed exchange rate on 31 December.

The positive and negative translation differences are recognised in profit or loss.

2. PROVISIONS

2.1 General

Provisions for liabilities and charges are intended to cover losses or charges whose nature is clearly defined and which, at the balance sheet date, are likely to be incurred and whose amount can be estimated with sufficient certainty. All provisions are IFRS-compliant.

2.2 Provisions for taxes

In anticipation of additional tax charges (not yet assessed) for past financial years, a provision may be set aside for the disputed portion of taxes. The undisputed portion of taxes yet to be assessed is recorded under the estimated tax liabilities on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

The additional tax charges already assessed for past financial years are recognised in full under the tax liabilities on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. For the disputed portion of taxes that have been assessed, a claim (i.e. income) is recognised if an appeal has been/will be lodged and if it is sufficiently certain that the claim will stand. The claims recorded for disputed taxes are periodically subjected to an impairment test.

Deferred taxes are recognised for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying value of an asset or liability and its tax base, except for deferred tax assets on tax losses or notional interest deductions carried forward, which are not recognised due to the principle of prudence. Deferred taxes to be recognised are measured using the tax rates in effect on realisation of the assets or settlement of the liabilities to which they relate.
