The Group provides a wide variety of banking services and financial activities in Portugal and abroad, being present in the following markets: Poland, Mozambique, Angola, Switzerland and Romania. All the operations develop their activity under the Millennium brand. Always attentive to the challenges imposed in an increasingly global market, the Group also ensures its presence in the five main continents of the world through representation offices and/or commercial protocols.
The Bank provides a vast range of financial products and services: current accounts, means of payment, saving and investment products, private banking, asset management and investment banking, as well as mortgage loans, consumer credit, commercial banking, leasing, factoring and insurance, among others. The back-office operations for the distribution network are integrated, in order to benefit from economies of scale.
In Portugal, Millennium bcp has the second largest distribution network, focused on retail where it provides services to its Customers in a segmented manner. The operations of the subsidiaries generally provide their products through the Millennium bcp distribution networks, offering a wide range of products and services, with special emphasis on asset management and insurance.
Millennium bcp is the largest private banking institution in Portugal, with a leadership position and particular strength in various financial products, services and market segments based on a strong and significant brand franchise.
The activity in the domestic market focuses on Retail Banking, which is segmented in order to best serve the Customers's interests, both through a value proposal based on innovation and speed aimed at Massmarket Customers, and through the innovation and personalised management of service targeting Prestige and Business Customers. The Retail Network also has a bank aimed specifically at Customers who are young in spirit, intensive users of new communication technologies and prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering innovative products and services.
The Bank also offers remote banking channels (banking service by telephone and Internet), which operate as distribution points for its financial products and services. The remote channels also underlie a new concept of banking, based on the ActivoBank platform.
At the end of the 1st half of 2013, the Bank was supported by the second largest banking distribution network of the country – 797 branches, serving over 2.3 million Customers, and held the position of second bank (first private bank) in terms of market share both concerning loans to customers (19.2%), and customer deposits (18.6%).
The generalisation of the liquidity and credit crises, which began in 2007, has brought new challenges to the financial system. The aggravation of the sovereign debt crisis has required additional effort from national banks in order to overcome the adversities.
Millennium bcp, in particular, has confirmed its robustness by successfully exceeding the successive requirements on matters of capital and liquidity. The Bank's solidity is based on a time-tested and distinguished business model, confirmed through its performance indicators and external recognition.
The capacity of resilience of the business model is essentially based on the Bank's concentration on retail banking, by nature more stable and less volatile, in relation to the reduced weight of financial operations. The resilience of net operating revenues, even in the current context of the financial crisis and high efficiency levels which have been strengthened progressively since 2008, are the result of a continued strategy based on cost reduction.
Under the motto "We seek to see the world through our Customers' eyes, because we aspire to meet all their needs and contribute to the fulfilment of their dreams", Millennium bcp has chosen "Focus on the Customer" as one of its strategic pillars, and this is a critical factor for the Bank's success.
The commitment established with its Clients continues to be one of the Bank's strategic priorities. The 1st six months of 2013 were featured by the launching by Millennium bcp of a new way to communicate, generated by the increasing awareness of the need to adapt not only the products offered but also the message conveyed to the specific features and profiles of each one of its different Client Segments.
By moving from a typical mass communication to a type of communication especially addressed to a target, Millennium intended to augment the relation it establishes with its clients, construing a message more focused on the business and values requirements of each one of them, regardless the fact that they are Mass Market, Prestige or Corporate.
This re-definition of contents was made together with a re-adjustment of the communication pieces in order to distinguish them in terms of colour, message and recipient.
The continuous sharing of information with its Clients is a permanent goal of Millennium bcp. We must highlight the communication effort made during the 1st six months of 2013 in the Prestige Segment that, together with the development of a wide range of initiatives addressed to the corporate Clients, intended to strengthen the distinctive position that Millennium wishes to cement in both Segments.
Thus, and relating to the 1st six months of 2013, we must point out (i) the campaigns of the "Prestige Programme", focused on the advantages and distinctive elements underlying the fact of belonging to the segment Prestige, (ii) the campaigns focused on the product "Credit for Companies" based on the granting, until 2015, of credit lines amounting to 4.200 million Euros to potentiate the growth of the Portuguese Companies and also the (iii) "Jornadas Millennium Empresas", the objective of which is to enhance the establishment of contacts and sharing of experiences amongst the Portuguese entrepreneurs.
Concerning the Mass Market segment, the Bank continued to use a type of communication that is predominantly commercial, based on integrated solutions of banking products and services that are simple and comfortable and enable to save more, such as the product "Cliente Frequente" or the"Cartão Free Refeição".
Since its incorporation, BCP has built a reputation based on dynamism, innovation, competitiveness, profitability and financial strenght. The Bank is considered a benchmark in several market segments in Portugal, and an institution with an international reputation in the distribution of financial products and services. BCP was the first bank in Portugal to introduce several concepts and innovative products, including direct marketing methods, design of branches based on the customers' profile, salary accounts, smaller and more efficient branches ("NovaRede"), telephone banking (through Banco 7, which subsequently became the first online platform in Portugal, health insurance (Médis) and "Seguro Directo" insurance, and was the first Portuguese bank with a website dedicated to companies.
In view of the importance of innovation, as a distinguishing factor of excellence relative to the competition, BCP was also a pioneer in the launch of a new banking concept, supported by the ActivoBank platform, based on the simplicity of customer service, convenience, transparency and presence of emerging distribution and communication channels (e.g. Mobile Banking).
The persistent search for new solutions, as long as new means better, is a commitment that reaches across the organisation. The Employees are also involved in this process through an internal programme of improvement, "Mil Ideas", based on the recognition of the Employees as a creative force generating ideas of value and focusing on a culture of innovation.
Following its mission to add value to its Customer and other stakeholders, Millennium bcp actively entered the Social Networks in May 2010, and now has several dozens of thousands of "followers", in particular on Facebook, whose higher number of visitors and ongoing activity support a communication strategy based on the immediacy and proximity to target groups, with discosure of information of general interest in the context of the activity of each area.
In the 1st half of 2013, the Bank continued its strategy of continuous improvement of information systems through the implementation of a set of projects and structuring and innovative initiatives, among which the following are particularly noteworthy: i) a new Mobile application for Companies, which strengthens the distinctive offer in this channel and provides significant advantages for customers, ii) the upgrade of the commercial platform (iPAC), through a wide range of new essential features to continue the investment in a value proposal focused on the customer, iii) the availability of a new application to support factoring business, which enables a more effective and efficient processes management, improving the level and quality of the service provided to customers in accordance with growing market needs, as well as on the risk management area and, iv) upgrade of the system of risk ratings allocation.
It should be noted, in the scope of the costs reduction policy, the signing of a new contract to provide services in IT outsourcing arrangements, which includes some areas of application development and support services to the Business Units of the Bank's structure.
The Millennium brand is a base for the global offer of the Bank and a fundamental part of its commercial strategy with direct impact on net income, leading to the positioning of Millennium bcp in the mind of its Customers, projecting credibility, strengthening the relation of trust in the Bank and creating feelings of loyalty, boosting the value of the brand.
The Millennium brand reflects also a promise of value for Customers and enables the differentiation of the Bank and its service in relation to the competition by clearly embodying the principles and values undertaken by Millennium bcp and perceived by the market, where "Innovation", "Modernity/Youth", "Dynamism" and "Quality" have a particular importance, according to independent research conducted by Marktest (BASEF) and Grupo Consultores (BrandScore).
Millennium bcp is the largest national private banking institution, with the second largest branch network in Portugal (797) and expanding in the countries where it operates, especially in African affinity markets.
Based on the motto "We seek to see the world through our Customers' eyes", the Bank provides a vast range of banking products and services, concentrated on Retail, through which it provides universal banking services and, additionally, remote banking channels (telephone and Internet banking services), operating as distribution points.
Its mission of ensuring excellence, quality service and innovation are values which make the Bank distinctive and differentiated from the competition. Accompanying the changes in consumer preference for digital banking, the creation of ActivoBank represents a privileged way of serving a group of urban Customers, who are young at heart, intensive users of new communication technologies and value simplicity, transparency, trust, innovation and accessibility in banking relations.
At the end of the 1st half of 2013, operations in Portugal account for 78% of total assets, 79% of total loans and advances to customers (gross) and 70% of total customer deposits. The Bank has 2.3 million Customers in Portugal and market shares of 19.2% and 18.6% for loans and advances to customers and customer deposits, respectively.

Banco Millennium Angola (BMA) was constituted on 3 April 2006 via transformation of the local branch into a bank under Angolan law. Benefiting from the strong image of the Millennium bcp brand, BMA presents distinctive characteristics such as innovation and dynamic communication, availability and convenience. In Angola, the Group aspires, with the investment in progress, to become a reference player in the banking sector in the medium term. BMA also aspires to become an important partner for companies of the oil sector, through the constitution of a specific corporate centre, provision of financial support to these companies and trade finance operations.

In Millennium bcp, the Sustainability strategy aims to respond to the expectations of key stakeholders - Employees, Customers, Shareholders, Suppliers, Media and Analysts - ensuring a balanced management of resources and the creation of social value.
The formal incorporation of this strategy is reflected in the Sustainability Master Plan, which covers the main policies and specific activities to be carried out in order to guarantee their implementation. The identification of material issues is achieved from direct engagement with stakeholders, as well as those arising from regulations and trends that are the result of profound changes - economic, social and environmental - recently verified. In the context of responsible business, the activity developed during the 1st Semester of 2013, and summarized in this chapter, reflects the concern of Millennium bcp in responding to this framework.
We have implemented a new management model of customer satisfaction in the retail network, based on experiences evaluation, which consists in short inquires, made through direct channels (telephone / internet), after the client interactions with the Bank . The objective of this model is to allow a fast intervention whenever the appreciation is less positive. In comparing with the previous model, enabled the Bank: i) strengthen the model by increasing significantly the response rate - the number of monitoring quintupled -, making the process of decision even more reliable, and ii) a reduction of more than 80 % on cost per questionnaire received / year. This new process has also eliminated a large amount of paper questionnaires, making the process more environmentally friendly and less costly.
Is in progress - to be completed by 2014 - the implementation of this model - Evaluation of Experiences - to evaluate the service provided by the Contact Center and Internet Banking channels.
As part of the launch of new products and / or services, and bearing in mind the need to maintain an organizational framework that allows the management of the various risks inherent in its definition, we have reinforce the formal approval and development process, that become more sustainable through the involvement of more areas of the Bank and the introduction of new aspects and analysis tools.
In order to further assist customers in financial difficulties and avoid default, continued the promotion of the Financial Advisory Service (FAS), namely trough an Internet simulator that presents an immediate set of solutions appropriate to the Customer specific situation.
Within the FAS packets, 25,333 contractual changes were made (9,294 mortgage credit and 16,039 consumer credit), restructuring a total amount of 630 million Euros (557 in mortgage and 73 for consumer credit). These alterations consist mainly in the introduction of grace periods and time extensions.

The Bank continued to promote motivation, betting on the role that Employees have in managing their careers through the development programs - Master in Millennium (1st edition) and Grow Fast (3rd edition) - attended by 45 employees and 19 employees, respectively. Intended for Employees with high performance and potential, seeking to provide (for 18 months) skills acquisition opportunities, key so that in future they can assume roles with higher levels of complexity and responsibility.
Following one of the initiatives provided for these programs was realized Grow Together Forum, an opportunity to network with participants from development programs, alumni, mentors and sponsors, in which were presented strategic projects for the Bank's future.
As part of the training program, remained the rational of sharing technical knowledge through the platform of e-learning and classroom training for behavioural training.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised its forecasts for the world economy for 2013 from 3.3% to 3.1%, with the developed countries still suffering from the recessive impact of the financial crisis, consubstantiated in the rebalancing of the balance-sheets of households and corporations as well as in the process of fiscal consolidation, especially in Europe. In the USA, which according to this institution, should grow below 2%, the repercussions of the automatic cuts in public spending on private consumption have been mitigated by the recovery of the labour market and the appreciation in the housing and equity markets. The eurozone stands out negatively among the main economic blocs for being the only for which the IMF forecasts a GDP contraction in 2013 (-0.6%). The dichotomy between the 'periphery' and the 'centre', still relevant regarding the funding capacity, has been diluted in what concerns the economic performance, especially in France, where GDP is expected to fall in the current year. The developing countries that have been used as safe-heavens by investors during the most turbulent period endured by the Western economies reveal signs of cooling given the eurozone recession, the presence of structural constraints and greater restrictions in the access to external capital. China faces a dilemma between stimulating the economy and thus arrest the on going slowdown and the need to correct speculative bubbles in certain markets for which excessive credit has been channelled. In Japan, which is expected to grow 2% this year, the first signs of the positive effects of the fiscal and monetary policies are starting to surface.
Regarding financial markets, investors' sentiment in the 1st six months of the year remained positive despite the financial bailout to Cyprus by the European authorities and the IMF, the political instability in Italy and, the worries about the delays of the Greek government in reforming the public sector under the program of financial assistance. On the institutional side, the first steps towards an European banking union were taken.
The monetary conditions have remained universally accommodative despite the greater propensity of the US Federal Reserve to taper the amounts of liquidity injected in the financial system. In April, the Bank of Japan reinforced the accommodative stance of its policy by committing to double the monetary base in two years in order to achieve the previously announced 2% inflation target. In its May meeting, the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced the main refinancing rate to 0.50%, having in the same occasion demonstrated an inclination to further decreases in the key rates, as well as the use of heterodox instruments, including measures to stimulate the credit to small and medium enterprises, thus mitigating the effect of elevated levels of market interest rates in certain euro area economies. In what respects the Portuguese banks it should be

highlighted the smooth downward trend of the use of the ECB's liquidity facilities throughout the 1st semester.
According to Statistics Portugal (INE), the Portuguese GDP recorded a contraction of 4% in the 1st quarter of 2013. Notwithstanding the measures aimed at reducing public expenditure and the increase of the tax burden, with an adverse impact on consumption and investment, the most recent indicators of activity suggest that the recessive context might have attenuated during the 2nd quarter, due to a great extent to the contribution of net exports. The favourable outcome of the regular reviews of the economic and financial adjustment program (PAEF) as well as the expectations that the ECB could use the Outright Monetary Transactions program (OMT) to purchase Portuguese medium-term sovereign debt contributed to improve the risk perception of Portuguese issuers in the financial markets, a circumstance that the Portuguese Treasury took advantage of to issue medium and longer-term government bonds.
THE PACE OF CONTRACTION OF THE PORTUGUESE ECONOMY GATHERED SPEED
The Polish and Romanian economies have recorded moderate growth rates due to the recessive impact of the processes of fiscal consolidation undertaken by both countries, an effect which nevertheless has been mitigated by the expansion of exports. The relative stability of the zloty has allowed the central bank of Poland to implement an aggressive cycle of interest rate cuts. As of Romania, the monetary authority has remained more cautious in easing monetary policy amid the trend of currency depreciation. According to

the IMF, the fast growth pace expected for the Mozambican (7,0%) and the Angolan (6,2%) economies in 2013, underpinned by the mining industry and, in Angola, also by public investment, should both perform above the Sub-Saharan region average (5,1%). In June, the government of Mozambique asked for a new assistance program to the IMF for another three years, i.e. until 2016.

IMF estimate
This section highlights the risks that are most significant and capable of affecting the Bank's activity in the 2nd half of 2013, and might lead to the future results of the Group diverging materially from the expected results. However, other risk factors could also adversely affect the results of the Group. Hence, the risk factors presented below should not be perceived as an exhaustive and complete statement of all the potential risks and uncertainties which could constrain the Bank's activity in the 2nd half of 2013.
Risks related to the economic and financial crisis of the Portuguese Republic
Risks related to the sovereign debt in Europe
Risks related to the volatility in global financial markets
Risks related to BCP's Business
The results of additional stress tests could result in a need to increase capital or a loss of public confidence in the Group may occur.
BCP's interest rate risk is at historically high levels, making it vulnerable to fluctuations in interest rates, which may negatively affect net interest income and lead to other adverse consequences.
Risks related to BCP Recapitalisation Plan
The extremely adverse economic context resulting from the continuance of the economic and financial crisis initiated in 2007 brought new challenges to the banking industry. During the 1st six months of 2013, the crisis reached Cyprus and all classes of bank creditors were forced to participate in their bail out. In fact, this solution contributed to boost the desire to create the European Banking Union and, at the same time, increased the tensions in the international financial markets due to the accommodative monetary policy practiced in the main advanced economies, including, concerning the Euro, unconventional monetary policy measures.
Two years after the beginning of the Economic and Financial Aid Programme, the Portuguese economy registered a significant improvement in its external payments balance and in its budget deficit, in accordance with the Aid program, within a context of strong deceleration of the economic activity and increase of unemployment. However, the increase of tensions resulting from the contraction of the GDP, the increase of unemployment and the Government's need to implement new austerity measures to be able to comply with the public deficit goals of the Aid Program, led to increased political instability in Portugal. It is expected that, during the 2nd half of 2013, the demanding economic conditions existing in the peripheral countries will continue, particularly in Portugal, as a result of the continuing recessive environment, the increase in unemployment, the reduction of the families' available income and of deflationist pressures in economy acting on the market of products and services, the real estate sector and on wages. Moreover, the need for a second aid program for the Portuguese economy cannot be excluded yet. All these factors will continue to condition the banking industry.
During the 1st six months there has been a significant improvement in the commercial gap of the Portuguese banks and a strengthening of their solvency, a trend that should persist during the last six months of 2013. The last six months of 2013 shall be featured by the continuance of deleveraging (fewer volumes). At the same time efforts will be developed to recover the profitability within a context where default and past due loans increase. However, there are still important challenges to face concerning future profitability prospects. Banks are also facing the degradation of the quality of their assets and the consequent increase of impairment.
Banks had to face higher regulatory requirements on a European level, namely the increase of solvency ratios in 2013. In December 2011, EBA issued a recommendation appealing to the Domestic Authorities so that they request the pre-selected banks to constitute an exceptional and temporary buffer enabling them to attain a minimum Core Tier I ratio of 9% on 30 June 2012. There is some expectation on whether EBA is going to re-assess the public debt at market prices, which would enable the Portuguese banks that resorted to public funding to increase their Core Tier 1 ratio and improve the conditions under which they will repay the public investment. Until 2019, the banks will also have to adjust to a more complex and demanding regulatory environment (transition to Basel III).
Since 2008 Millennium bcp is executing a group of measures and initiatives aimed to reinforce its capital base, namely in what concerns the levels of share capital and equity, including liability management operations, assets management and the transfer of liabilities from the Pension Fund into the Social Security. The completion of the subscription by the State of hybrid instruments able of being qualified as Core Tier 1 capital, totalling 3 billion Euros on 29 June 2009, and the successful increase of share capital, by new cash entries subscribed by its shareholders exercising their legal preference rights and totalling 500 million Euros in October of 2009, materialize the compliance with the priority of achieving the financial strength defined in the 2012 management agenda. However, the issue of hybrid instruments poses new challenges to the management of net interest income and fees, operating costs and impairment.
It was reached an agreement between the European Commission and the Portuguese authorities regarding the Restructuring Plan for BCP.The restructuring plan agreed with the European Commission of the banks that resorted to public investment will be announced in the forthcoming weeks. The final version of the Plan includes improved profitability in Portugal through further significant efforts to reduce costs and clear focus on Bank's core markets and businesses.
The global economic environment continues to generate volatility and aversion to risk on the part of the international investors and led to the closing of the wholesale funding markets making the European banking system more vulnerable and dependent on the funding granted by the European Central Bank (ECB). Within this context and with the purpose of replacing the short term funding, the banking institutions decided to massively resort to long term refinancing operations (LTRO) in order to limit the pressure exercised on their treasury. The Portuguese banks continue to depend on the availability of the ECB to continue to meet the funding needs of the European banks, in particular of those of peripheral countries, in an unlimited manner.
In September 2012, BCP presented a Strategic Plan composed of three phases for the next 5 years: i) Strengthening of the capital and liquidity position (underway during 2012-2013); ii) Creation of conditions to ensure growth and profitability (for implementation over 2014-2015); iii) Sustainable growth (from 2016 to 2017).
| Stages | Priorities | Initiatives already implemented |
|---|---|---|
| Reinforcement of capital | Comfortable capital ratios | Core tier I ratio reaches 12.5% |
| and liquidity position (2012-13) |
Enhance liquidity position Provisions reinforcement Restructuring Plan in Portugal |
Loan to deposit ratio already reaches 123% (according to BoP criteria) and net loans to BS customer funds ratio at 110% |
| Creating conditions for growth and profitability |

Continuous reinforcement of balance sheet impairment charges |

| Sustained growth (2016-17) |
balance between domestic and international operations contributions |
Sale of the Greek operation |
| Agreement with DG Comp concerning the restructuring plan |
Hence, the priorities of the 1st phase, which took place from 2012 to 2013, were the achievement of comfortable capital ratios, improvement of the liquidity position and strengthening of provisions.
During this period, BCP undertook a significant deleveraging effort, with loans and advances to customers (gross) having declined by 16 billion Euros and customer funds on the balance sheet having increased by 1.5 billion Euros. The commercial gap decreased by 14.5 billion Euros between December 2009 and June 2013, the ratio of loans and advances (gross) to customer funds on the balance sheet (Loans-to-On Balance Sheet Customer Funds ratio) fell from 152% in December 2009 to 117% in June 2013. The Bank had amortised 19.5 billion Euros of medium and long term debt by June 2013 and the use of ECB funding declined from 15 billion Euros in December 2010 to 11.6 billion in June 2013, of which 11 billion are LTRO (long term refinancing operations) with the objective of replacing short term funding.
The Core Tier 1 ratio increased from 6.4% in December 2009 to 12.5% in June 2013, benefiting from the reinforcement of Core Tier 1 by 3 billion Euros as a result of liability management operations (2011 and 2012) and issue of hybrid instruments (2012), in spite of the negative impacts of Greece and pension fund and the reduction of RWA by 17 billion Euros, arising from the deleveraging process and adoption of internal rating based (IRB) methodologies, despite the downgrade of ratings. The Bank implemented a Capitalisation Plan reflected in the issue of 3 billion Euros of hybrid instruments and a share capital increase of 500 million Euros.
In relation to the reinforcement of provisioning, allocations for impairment of the value of 3.503 billion Euros were carried during the period of 2010-end of June 2013. Part of this provisioning effort resulted from inspections conducted pursuant to the measures and actions agreed by the Portuguese authorities in relation to the financial system, under the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme established with the IMF, EU and ECB. Thus, the Special Inspection Programme (SIP) of the Bank of Portugal was reflected in the strengthening of provisioning by 381 million Euros, while the On-site Inspection Programme (OIP) covering exposure to the construction and real estate development sectors resulted in the strengthening of provisioning by 290 million Euros.
During the 2nd phase, the Bank intends to ensure the recovery of profitability in Portugal and the continued development of the business in Poland, Mozambique and Angola. The priority of the 3rd phase is the sustainable growth of net income, with an improved balance between the contributions of the domestic and international operations.
It is the objective of BCP to create conditions of growth and profitability from 2014 to 2015 (2nd phase).
During 2013, the Bank intends to recover the profitability in Portugal through 3 areas of action: improve net interest income, reduce operating costs and decrease allocations for impairment. The improvement of net interest income should result from the reduction of the cost of deposits and the recomposition of the mix of the credit portfolio with greater focus on credit to SMEs and companies of the tradable sectors. The objective for operating costs should be achieved through administrative reorganisation, consisting of the simplification of the organisation, improvement of processes and optimisation of the capacity. Regarding allocations for impairment, the implementation of a new credit management model, covering the stages of its granting, monitoring and recovering, should lead to a reduction of the cost of risk. These actions should result in a recovery of profitability.
BCP has a unique international presence focused on key markets where our bussiness model add value and with a large population (Poland) or high rates of growth of the population's participation in the banking system (Mozambique and Angola). By the end of December 2012, these three operations represented 40% of the total branch network, 47% of total Employees, 19% of Turnover and 37% of Net Operating Revenues.
In Poland, Bank Millennium has a well distributed network of branches, supported on modern multichannel infrastructure, reference service quality, high brand recognition, a robust capital base, comfortable liquidity and solid risk management and control. The principal initiatives consist of the exploration of new market opportunities in the corporate segment with strong focus on Medium-sized Enterprises and the expansion of consumer credit. Bank Millennium has already announced its Strategic Plan for 2013-2015.
Mozambique is a market of high growth of GDP, based on natural resources and with rates of expansion of the population's participation in the banking system that are above the regional average. The potential for credit expansion is significant.
Similarly, Angola is also a market of strong growth of GDP, based on the export of oil. However, the contribution of the non-oil sector to the expansion of GDP has been increasing, essentially as a result of the investment in major infrastructure and agriculture. Also in Angola, the rates expansion of the population's participation in the banking system are higher than the regional average.
Completion on June 19, 2013 of the sale of entire share capital of Millennium Bank Greece to Piraeus Bank, in accordance with the general conditions announced on April 22, 2013.
The equity markets began the year 2013 with significant appreciations. Highlightening the strong gains posted by the PSI20 Portuguese index, particularly in the financial sector, supported by the Portuguese Republic 5 year debt issue which took place in January and the Basel Committee's announcement of new rules to for the liquidity coverage ratio which became more flexible.
However the most main European indices had corrected in February, after the significant gains obtained on the 1st month of the year. A penalization resulting from the disclosure of unfavorable macroeconomic indicators for the Euro area in the 4th quarter of 2012 and the preliminary figures of the 1st months of this year, which point, in February, to an further contraction in the activity. Political instability in Italy added to the negative sentiment.
March was characterized by the international assistance to Cyprus and the continuation of the standoff in Italy, situations that have led to partial correction of valuations recorded since the beginning of the year by Iberian banks.
On the positive side, it is worth mentioning the revision of the outlook from S&P for Portugal from "negative" to "stable", the extension of term for the Portuguese and Irish debt, cut in the reference interest rates by the ECB, Portuguese debt issuance for the 10 year maturity and the European policy agenda focused on economic growth.
June was negative for the stock markets globally with the announcement of the end of economic stimulus by the FED. In Europe no sector has escaped to losses with the downward revision of forecasts for economic growth in the Euro zone and a new political crisis in Greece.

Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for "Corporates" exposures in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal model) for generic market risk and the standard method for operational risk.

(4) The adoption of the Standard method of operational risk was authorised in 2009 for application on a consolidated basis.
Consolidated core tier I, calculated in accordance with Bank of Portugal's rules, reached 12.5% as at 30 June 2013, having increased 40 basis points compared to 12.1% as reported at 30 June 2012 and above the minimum threshold defined by the Bank of Portugal (10%).
This performance was determined by the decrease in risk weighted assets, resulting from both the securitization operation performed in June 2013 and the deleveraging and optimization effort undertaken during that period.
Core tier 1 decreased by 639 million Euros in 30 June 2013, compared to 30 June 2012, with emphasis on:
the issuance of debt securities in the amount of 51 million Euros, after taxes (with a combined impact in core tier 1 of -43 basis points);
The risk-weighted assets as of 30 June 2013 decreased 6,885 million Euros in comparison to 30 June 2012, mainly reflecting:
In parallel, the core tier 1 ratio determined in accordance with EBA criteria reached 10.0% as at 30 June 2013, comparing favourably with the 9.7% ratio recorded as at 30 June 2012 (first reporting date for this ratio) and exceeded the defined minimum limit of 9%.
Core tier 1 of EBA is based on core tier 1 calculated according to Bank of Portugal's criteria, adjusted by the impact of the following items: i) deduction of 50% of both the value of significant investments held in shareholdings and the impairment shortfall in comparison to the expected losses of the exposures treated under IRB methodologies; and ii) the capital buffer set by EBA with reference to 30 September 2011 to cover sovereign risks, adjusted by the provisioning undertaken subsequently within the scope of the restructuring of the Greek public debt.

Note: the Bank received authorisation from the Bank of Portugal to adopt IRB approaches for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risks, covering a substantial part of the risks from the activity in Portugal, as from 31December 2010. Estimates of the probability of default and the loss given default (IRB Advanced) were used for retail exposures to small companies and exposures collateralised by commercial and residential real state, and estimates of the probability of default (IRB Foundation) were used for corporate exposures, excluding property development loans and entities from the simplified rating system. In the scope of the Roll- Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk under IRB approaches, the Bank of Portugal formally authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk " Renewable Retail Positions" and " Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk " Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for " Loans secured by residential real estate" and " Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) for the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
During the 1st half of 2013, the Bank continued to implement its 2013 Liquidity Plan, which from the beginning assumed the postponing to 2014 of the return to the medium-long term capital markets, agreed with the "Troika", as determined by the Bank of Portugal during the 6th revision of the Funding and Capital Plan.
Accordingly, the deleveraging effort, materialised in a reduction of the commercial gap (evolution of net loans to customers and of customer deposits) by Euro 7.8 billion in the 1st half of 2012, allowed the Bank to fulfil the objective set in the Liquidity Plan of early redemption of a Euro 1.75 billion issue guaranteed by the State, accomplished at the end of June, and, simultaneously, ensured the maintenance of a liquidity buffer at very comfortable level, which stood at Euro 9.5 billion at the end of June 2013. The Bank considers the possibility of, by the end of the year, partially redeeming of existing own issues guaranteed by the State.
Additionally, it is worth noting that, in accordance with the decision from the ECB, announced at the end of the 1st quarter of 2013, the State guaranteed issues will lose the eligibility status on 1 March 2015, in the event they do not mature in the meantime.
During the 1st half of 2013, the Bank reimbursed medium-long term debt amounting to Euro 1.1 billion, completing the entire refinancing planned for 2013. Focused on the reduction of commercial gap, the increase of Euro 11.6 billion in the net funding from the Eurosystem resulted mainly from the evolution of the securities portfolio (which offset the impact, to a lesser extent, of the sale of the Greek operation on the ECB borrowing level).
The evolution of the liquidity position of the Bank allowed the early redemption of an LTRO tranche of Euro 1.0 billion, from a total of Euro 12.0 billion originally borrowed in Portugal, in order to increase flexibility in short-term treasury management.
In the 1st half of 2013, banking activity in the euro area continued to be developed in a particularly recessionary macroeconomic environment, with particular focus in the peripheral countries. The financial crisis in Cyprus, the political instability in Greece and more recently in Portugal, as well as the expectation that access to wholesale funding markets are not expected to normalize until 2014, as provided in the agreement with the troika, continued to constrain evolution of sovereign ratings.
The strengthening of solvency levels of Portuguese banks, following the fulfillment of regulatory impositions of EBA and the Bank of Portugal was perceived as positive by rating agencies but insufficient to change the perspective of rating's evolution, due to the reliance of the Republic's ratings and the challenges that banks face in terms of asset quality, profitability and the recovery of capital generation.
In the 1st six months of the year, BCP held the Annual Review Meetings with the four rating agencies:
On 28 June 2013, DBRS confirmed long and short-term ratings of Banco Comercial Português, SA at "BBB (low)" and "R-2 (middle)", respectively, and reduced the intrinsic rating of BCP from "BBB (low)" to "BB (high)". The Outlook remains negative.
On 10 July 2013, Fitch Ratings affirmed long and short-term ratings of Banco Comercial Português, SA at "BB +" and "B", maintaining the negative outlook.
Following the revision of Portuguese Republic's Outlook from "Stable" to "Negative" on 5 July 2013, S & P considered that the deteriorations of the political instability had additional risks for the Portuguese banking sector and on 11 July 2013 reduced the long-term rating of Banco Comercial Português, SA from "B +" to "B", confirming the short-term rating at "B", with "Negative" Outlook.

The consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under the terms of Regulation (EC) number 1606/2002, of 19 July, and in accordance with the reporting model determined by the Bank of Portugal (Notice number 1/2005), following the transposition into Portuguese law of Directive number 2003/51/EC, of 18 June, of the European Parliament and Council, as the currently existing versions.
Following the conclusion on 19 June 2013 of the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, in accordance with the general conditions announced, and according to IFRS 5, Millennium bank in Greece is now classified as a discontinued operation, with the impact on results presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as income arising from discontinued operations and the profit and loss account was restated as at 30 June 2012, for comparative purposes. At the consolidated balance sheet level, the presentation of assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece were not included as at 30 June 2013, but remained in the criteria considered as at 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2012.
Millennium bcp's consolidated net income was negative by 488.2 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, compared with a net loss of 544.3 million Euros posted in the 1st half of 2012.
Net income in the 1st half of 2013 includes, in particular, the impacts related to:
Compared with the 1st half of 2012, net income was mostly influenced by the activity in Portugal, hindered by the performance of net interest income, net trading income and by the level of impairment charges for loan losses and for other impairment and provisions, despite the reduction in operating costs.
NET INCOME IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2013 Million euros
activity, excluding Greece, showed an increase of 12.7%, from the 1st half of 2012, essentially supported by the growth in net operating revenues and the reduction in operating costs, highlighting the favourable performance in the subsidiary companies in Poland and in Angola.
Bank Millennium in Poland presented a net income of 60.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, showing an increase compared to the 52.5 million Euros registered in the same period of 2012, reflecting (i) banking income favourable evolution, that benefited from trading results and commissions performance, in spite of net interest income evolution, associated with the impact of market interest rates decrease, and (ii) the slight decrease of operating costs.
Millennium bim in Mozambique recorded a net income of 40.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with 46.1 million Euros booked in the same period of 2012. This unfavorable evolution was due to the performance of: (i) net interest income, penalised by the impact of reference interest rates decrease; (ii) trading results; and of (iii) operating costs, influenced by the branches' expansion plan, despite commissions' positive contribution.
Net income generated by Banco Millennium Angola increase to 18.3 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, from 17.3 million Euros registered in the same period of 2012. This increase primarily resulted from commissions' positive performance, which more than offset the impact of government bonds' interest rates reduction, that contributed to net interest income decrease, and the effective income tax rate increase, as interest from new public debt issues are subject to tax since de beginning of 2013.
Banca Millennium in Romania registered a negative net income of 3.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, that compares with a negative net income of 6.5 million Euros in the same period of 2012, due to (i) banking income good performance, which mainly benefited from net interest income favourable evolution (influenced by loans to customers volume increase and cost of deposits decrease), together with (ii) operating costs reduction.
Millennium Banque Privée in Switzerland booked a net income of 3.8 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with a net income of 1.4 million Euros in the same period of 2012, due to the favourable evolution of commissions and other operating income and to savings on operating costs, in spite of net interest income unfavourable performance, associated with market interest rates decrease.
Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands presented a net income of 7.8 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, while in the same period of 2012 net income reached 5.4 million Euros. This increase benefited from banking income performance, mainly influenced by the positive evolution of net interest income and commissions.

Net interest income totalled 388.1 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with 582.1 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012, hindered by the impact of the issuance of hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State, for which interest expenses accounted in the 1st half of 2013 amounted to 134.7 million Euros.
Net interest income over the period was influenced by the unfavourable business volume effect, essentially in Portugal, reflecting the adverse macroeconomic environment and the consequent retraction of credit demand by individuals and companies. Even so, the Bank continued to support customers in achieving sustainable business plans, providing access to credit lines aimed at reinforcing investment and strengthening the productive capacity in different sectors of the economy.
In addition, the performance of net interest income continued to be restrained by the unfavourable interest rate effect, influenced by market historically low interest rates, despite continued efforts to reprice loan operations, in order to adjust financing costs to customer risk profiles, and the favourable effect from the gradual reduction in the cost of term deposits.
In the 2nd quarter of 2013, benefiting from the decrease in the cost of term deposits, net interest income in the activity in Portugal showed an increase of 21.1% from the 1st quarter of 2013.
In the international activity, net interest income evolution was restrained by the performance of the subsidiary companies in Poland and Mozambique.
The net interest margin stood at 1.01% in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with 1.43% in the same period in 2012.

Other net income, which includes dividends from equity instruments, net commissions, net trading income, other net operating income and equity accounted earnings, stood at 402.7 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, compared with 649.8 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012. This evolution was mainly determined by the performance of net trading income. Other net income was influenced by the activity in Portugal, while showed a favourable evolution in the international activity.

Income from equity instruments, which include dividends received from investments in financial assets available for sale, totalled 1.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, compared with 3.6 million Euros posted in the 1st half of 2012. Income from equity instruments posted in the 1st half of 2012 and 2013 comprise essentially the income associated to the Group's investments in shares and in investment fund units.
Net commissions amounted to 338.6 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with 334.8 million Euros posted in the same period in 2012. Net commissions include the cost associated with the guarantee granted by the Portuguese State to debt securities issued by the Bank. Excluding this impact, net commissions increased 1.5% from the 1st half of 2012.
The performance of net commissions in the 1st half of 2013 essentially reflects:
the increase in net commissions related to the financial markets (+11.0%), benefiting from operations with securities and asset management. This evolution reflects the increase of 12.6% in the international activity, sustained by overall international operations, and the rise of 9.4% in the activity in Portugal; and
the decrease in net commissions associated with the banking business (-0.3%), due to the lower levels of activity in Portugal, despite the increase of 14.8% in the international activity.
The evolution of net commissions, between the 1st and the 2nd quarters of 2013, posted a growth of 7.6%, sustained by the performance of commissions associated with both banking business and financial markets.

The stabilisation of other net operating income was influenced, on the one hand, by the reduction showed in the activity in Portugal and, on the other, by the increase posted in the international activity, benefiting from the gains obtained from the sale of real estate during the 1st half of 2013.
Equity accounted earnings, which include the results appropriated by the Group associated to the consolidation of entities over which, despite having a significant influence, the Group does not control the financial and operational policies, in particular the appropriation of results from the 49% shareholding in Millenniumbcp Ageas, totalled 30.6 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013 (30.2 million Euros in the same period of 2012).
Operating costs, which include staff costs, other administrative costs and depreciation costs, stood at 612.2 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, down from 626.3 million Euros in the same period in 2012.
The evolution of operating costs was affected by the following:

| Foreign activity | 236.9 | 242.5 | -2.3% |
(1) Excludes the impact of specific items presented in the table.
In the activity in Portugal, operating costs include the abovementioned effects. Excluding those impacts, operating costs declined 16.5% from the 1st half of 2012, supported by lower staff costs, reflecting the plan to decrease the number of employees implemented in 2012. Additionally, operating costs benefited from the reduction in both other administrative costs, as a result of the cost containment initiatives implemented, and depreciation, following the gradual end of the period of depreciation of investments.
In the international activity, operating costs were down by 2.3% from the 1st half of 2012, benefiting from the reduction of costs posted by the subsidiary company in Poland, which more than offset the evolution in Millennium bim in Mozambique and in Banco Millennium Angola, as a result of the organic growth strategy implemented in those two African markets.
Staff costs stood totalled 344.2 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013 (325.0 million Euros in the same period in 2012). However, excluding the previously mentioned impacts, staff costs stood at 340.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, a decrease of 11.9%, when compared with 386.3 million Euros posted in the same period of 2012.
This evolution in staff costs was influenced by the activity in Portugal (-16.7%), together with the reduction of 0.9% in the international activity.
In the international activity, staff costs reflected the reduction posted by the operation in Poland, notwithstanding the increase in the subsidiary companies in Angola and Mozambique.

Other administrative costs reduced 11.2% to 233.6 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, from 263.0 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012, benefiting from the impact of rationalisation and cost containment initiatives implemented by the Group, in particular the resizing of the branch network in Portugal (-65 branches, from the end of June 2012), aiming to rationalise the distribution network under the restructuring program implemented in 2012. From the 1st half of 2012, it is worth noting the savings achieved in most line items, in particular, specialised services, communication, advertising & sponsorship and rent.
In the activity in Portugal, other administrative costs fell by 16.4%, reflecting the savings obtained in the line items above mentioned, while in the international activity costs decreased 3.7%, as a result of the containment in expenses posted by most of the international subsidiaries, in particular in Poland and Angola.

Depreciation costs stood fell 10.1%, from 38.4 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012 to 34.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013.
This decrease in depreciation costs was mostly influenced by the activity in Portugal, which showed a reduction of 15.3% from the 1st half of 2012, due to the lower level of depreciation associated with buildings and equipment.
In the international activity, depreciation costs fell by 3.7%, from the 1st half of 2012, benefiting from the reduction in the level of depreciation costs in most of the international subsidiaries, in particular by the slowing down of the depreciation level in Banco Millennium Angola, despite the increases at Millennium bim in Mozambique and Bank Millennium in Poland.
Impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) stood at 476.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with 466.5 million Euros in the same period in 2012.
The impairment charges for loan losses, in the 1st half of 2012, include an additional impairment charge posted in the 2nd quarter, associated, in a large extent, to the anticipation of the reinforcement of impairment charges for credit risks originally planned for the 2nd half of the year.
The performance of impairment charges for loan losses was mostly driven by the evolution of the activity in Portugal, while in the international activity, the impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) showed a decrease, reflecting primarily the lower charges posted by the activity developed in Poland.

The cost of risk stood at 155 basis points in the 1st half of 2013, compared with 142 basis points in the 1st half of 2012 (excluding Millennium bank in Greece).

Other impairment and provisions aggregate the items of impairment charges associated with other financial assets, with other assets, in particular assets received as payment in kind resulting from the termination of loan contracts with customers, and charges for other provisions.
Other impairment and provisions totalled 234.6 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with 107.0 million Euros in the same period in 2012.
This evolution was influenced by the reinforcement of provisions for guarantees and other commitments, in the amount of 51.2 million Euros, and by the provision charges for other risks in the amount of 80.0 million Euros posted in the 1st half of 2013, related to the subscription of ordinary shares of Piraeus Bank, as part of the sale process of Millennium bank in Greece.
Income tax (current and deferred) totalled 130.1 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, which compares with a loss of 20.1 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012.
The income tax item includes current tax in the amount of 36.2 million Euros (38.2 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012), net of a deferred tax asset in the amount of 166.3 million Euros (18.0 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012).
Non-controlling interests include the part attributable to third parties of the results of the subsidiary companies consolidated through the full method in which the Group does not hold, directly or indirectly, the entirety of their share capital.
Non-controlling interests were primarily related to the Group's holdings in Bank Millennium in Poland, Banco Millennium Angola and Millennium bim in Mozambique. Non-controlling interests totalled 44.0 million Euros in the six months ended 30 June 2013, which compares with 39.5 million Euros in the six months ended 30 June 2012.
Total assets stood at 83,944 million Euros as at 30 June 2013 (92,999 million Euros as at 30 June 2012 and 89,744 million Euros as at 31 December 2012), influenced by the impact of the sale of Millennium bank in Greece, with the corresponding reflection in all line items of assets and liabilities of the consolidated balance sheet.
Loans to customers, before impairment, stood at 61,401 million Euros as at 30 June 2013 (70,317 million Euros as on the same date in 2012), which, considering the current consolidation perimeter, compares with 65.514 million Euros as at 30 June 2012. This performance was mainly influenced by the activity in Portugal, as evidenced a stabilisation in the international activity.
The securities portfolio, which comprise financial assets held for trading, financial assets available for sale, assets
with repurchase agreement and financial assets held to maturity, totalled 15,235 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, which compares with 13,017 million Euros posted on the same date in 2012 (14.488 million Euros as at 31 December 2012), representing 18.1% of total assets as at the end of June 2013 (14.0% as at 30 June 2012). This evolution was essentially determined by the increase in financial assets available for sale, despite the reduction in both financial assets held to maturity and financial assets held for trading.
Total liabilities reduced to 80,527 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, from 89,053 million Euros on the same date in 2012 (85,744 million Euros as at 31 December 2012). Considering the actual consolidation perimeter, total liabilities slightly decreased from the end of December 2012, essentially influenced by the reduction in debt securities issued, in particular the early redemption of a 1.75 billion Euros issue guaranteed by the State, and by financial liabilities held for trading, despite the increases posted by other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and by subordinated liabilities.
Considering the actual consolidation perimeter, balance sheet customer funds were up by 1.1% to 52,474 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, from 51,883 million Euros on the same date in 2012, reflecting the continuous focus to retain and further increase stable funding and to reduce commercial gap.
Total equity evidenced an evolution from 3,946 million Euros as at 30 June 2012 to 3,417 million Euros as 30 June 2013. This evolution mainly reflects, on the one hand, the effect of the Bank's capital increase by 500 million Euros, completed during the 2nd half of 2012 and, on the other, the impact of the recording of negative net income in the period.

Loans to customers (gross) stood at 61,401 million Euros as at 30 June 2013 (70,317 million Euros as at 30 June 2012 and 66,861 million Euros as at 31 December 2012). Considering the current consolidation perimeter, loans to customers (gross) totalled 65,514 million and 62,151 million Euros as at 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2012, respectively.
From the end of December 2012, excluding the mentioned impact of the sale of the Greek operation, the portfolio of loans to customers showed a decrease of 1.2%, evidencing greater dynamism in lending in the 1st half of 2013.
This evolution of the loans portfolio was influenced by
(*) Before impairment
the activity in Portugal (-1.3%) and by the stabilisation in the international activity, from 31 December 2012, excluding the impact of the sale of Millennium bank in Greece, showing, on the one hand, the decrease in the loans portfolio in the subsidiaries in Switzerland and Cayman and, on the other, the growth at Millennium bim in Mozambique, Bank Millennium in Poland and Banco Millennium Angola.
The performance of loans to customers reflects the decrease in loans to individuals (-2.6%), despite the increase in loans to companies (+0.2%), from 31 December 2012. This evolution was driven by the activity in Portugal, which, notwithstanding the aforementioned dynamism in lending, was restrained by the lower credit demand from economic agents, associated with the perception of the permanent nature of the current process of fiscal adjustment and consolidation, with an impact on both the reduction of the consumption of durable goods which is a component more sensitive to the economic cycle, and the postponement of investment decisions by companies, given the recognised existence of underused productive capacity in some sectors and the need to reduce debt levels.
In this context, Millennium bcp continued to support Portuguese companies to achieve sustainable business plans, highlighting the access to lines of credit focused on investment and on the reinforcement of the production capacity in different sectors of the economy. In fact, in the activity in Portugal loans to companies posted an increase during the 1st half of 2013.
The structure of the portfolio of loans to customers showed identical levels of diversification, between the end of June 2012 and the end of June 2013, with loans to companies representing slightly more than 50% of total loans to customers, as at 30 June 2013.

In the activity in Portugal, total customer funds amounted
to 50,038 million Euros as at 30 June 2013 (49,920 million Euros as at 30 June 2012). In the international activity, total customer funds, excluding Millennium bank in Greece, were up by 8.8% to 15,479 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, reflecting the increase in both balance sheet customer funds and off-balance sheet customer funds, as a result of the favourable performance, in particular, of the subsidiary companies in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.
As at 30 June 2013, balance sheet customer funds represented 80% of total customer funds, with special emphasis on the component of customer deposits, which represented 72% of total customer funds.

The securities portfolio, which comprise financial assets held for trading, financial assets available for sale, assets with repurchase agreement and financial assets held to maturity, totalled 15,235 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, which compares with 13,017 million Euros on the same date in 2012 (14,488 million Euros as at 31 December 2012) and represented 18.1% of total assets (14.0% as at 30 June 2012).
This evolution was essentially determined by the increase in financial assets available for sale – mainly reflecting the increase in the portfolio of sovereign debt financial instruments, in particular, Portuguese and Polish sovereign debt securities, despite the elimination of the exposure to Greek sovereign debt -, despite the reduction in both financial assets held to maturity and financial assets held for trading.

The figures reported for each business segment result from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, including the impact from capital allocation and balancing process of each entity, both at balance sheet and income statement levels, based on average figures. Balance sheet headings for each subsidiary and business unit are re-calculated, given the replacement of their original shareholders' equity by the outcome of the capital allocation process, according to regulatory solvency criteria.
Considering that the capital allocation process complies with regulatory solvency criteria currently in place, the weighted risk, as well as the capital allocated to segments, are based on Basel II methodology. Following the request submitted by the Bank, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010.
In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of that methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland.
Additionally, the Bank was adopted the standard approach for operational risk and the internal models approach for general market risk and foreign exchange risk, for the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal. The capital allocation for each segment, in the 1st half of 2012 and in the 1st half of 2013, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment.
Information related to the 1st half of 2012 is presented on a comparable basis with the information reported in the 1st half of 2013, reflecting the current organisational structure of the Group's business areas referred to in the Segment description described above, and considering the effect of the transfer of clients between networks associated with the segmentation processes.
The net contributions of each segment are not deducted from, when applicable, the non-controlling interests. Thus, the net contribution reflects the individual results achieved by its business units, independent of the percentage held by the Group, including the impact of movements of funds described above. The following information is based on financial statements prepared according to IFRS and on the organisational model in place for the Group, as at 30 June 2013.

Notes:
Loans to companies and total customer funds on monthly average balances, excluding the foreign business segment.
Foreign business segment includes Millennium bank in Greece in Income arising from descontinued operations. Loans to customers and total customer funds were adjusted so that they can be comparable, not including Greece operation figures.
The Retail area in Portugal posted net losses of 67.5 million Euros in the 1st six months of 2013, comparing with a net loss of 39.1 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012, essentially determined by the decrease in net interest income and by the increase in impairment charges, despite the reduction in operating costs.
The decrease in net interest income was a consequence of the decrease in the credit portfolio, reflecting the lower demand of loans from economic agents, and of the downward trend in interest rates, mostly due to the decrease in the Euribor, despite the efforts to revise the pricing of the operations.
Other net income recorded in the 1st half of 2013 are in line with the amounts presented in the same period of the previous year, supported by an increase in net commissions associated to transactions and demand deposits that offset the decrease in net commissions related to loans granted to customers.
Impairment charges in the 1st half of 2013 showed an increase, compared with the amount posted in same period in 2012, reflecting the anticipation of the reinforcement of impairment charges for credit risks originally planned for the 2nd half of the year.
Operating costs went down 18.6% in the 1st six months of 2013 resulting from the amount recorded on 30 June 2012, due to the decrease in administrative and staff-related costs, benefiting from the impact of initiatives in place to rationalise and contain costs, in particular the effect of the branch network resizing.
As at 30 June 2013, commercial gap showed a positive evolution from 30 June 2012, evidencing a decrease in loans to customers above the one recorded in balance sheet customer funds. Loans to customers were down 7.2%, standing at 25,326 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, following the reduction in mortgage loans and other credits in national currency. Total customer funds reached 32,729 million Euros on 30 June 2013, in line with the figures recorded as at 30 June 2012, due to the 6.2% increase in customers' deposits.
During the 1st half of 2013, the Bank continued to implement its segmentation strategy in the Business and Client network, of which we underline the new commercial and performance valuation model. The Bank focused on growth and retaining funds, with the constant target of improving the margin. On the other hand, in terms of credit, the Bank focused on Consumer Loans and on default prevention. It continued to strengthen its position as partner of Small and Medium Enterprises and in the growth of the cards portfolio.
This position allowed it to strengthen quality and service levels provided to Customers and to increase profitability.
Continuing the segmentation made the year before and based on the new commercial and performance valuation model for Customers, we underline the following initiatives:
This set of initiatives resulted in an all-time maximum number of 700 thousand integrated solutions, representing about one third of the eligible client base of the Bank, with a net increase in the portfolio of 50 thousand solutions.
In the 1st half of 2013, aiming to reinforce the Bank's role as partner of Small and Medium Enterprises and to increase the profitability of the Business segment, the bank undertook the following initiatives:
As a result of these actions to improve the product range, sales support, capture and service level, there has been a sustained increase in loans, cross-selling and new customers.
During the 1st half of 2013, Millennium bcp developed a commercial strategy aiming to grow and retain funds, framing its commercial actions in a constant concern with cutting funding costs, so as to improve the margin.
Within the scope of redesigning the products from a segment standpoint and care for the constant support and follow-up of Customers in terms of savings, BCP created several products aiming to induce small savings with previously defined deposits.
Aiming to stabilise the liabilities portfolio and broaden the products available to diversify the Customers' assets, we underline the introduction of the Indexed Deposits in the 1st half of 2013, which turned out to be a great commercial success.
Seeking to improve the loan-to-deposit ratio, during the 1st half of 2013, the Retail Network increased the transformation of maturing structured products and off-balance sheet products into products with a direct impact on this indicator.
During the 1st half of 2013, the Bank's strategic priority was focused on Consumer Loans. Several special pricing conditions were defined for that purpose and, simultaneously, several sales support actions were developed, largely visible online and at the Branches. These initiatives translated into a strong increase in sales and a rise in margin and fees.
One must also highlight the focus on the Bank's real-estate properties, namely credit promotional conditions, considering the high costs these properties bear for the Bank.
Credit default continues to be one of the most relevant issues, with a large impact on the operating account, therefore BCP will continue to increase preventive measures and to recover defaults.
During the 1st six months of 2013, the following initiatives stood out:
The 1st half of 2013 recorded a 3.4% increase in the business of Risk Insurance Policies (Group Insurance Company) comparing with a 3.8% contraction of the insurance market in Portugal (May 2013 data).
We also highlight the following actions:
In the 1st half of the year, the Commercial Daily – a daily communication about marketing and commercial priorities for the Retail Network – was divided, specialising in each segment: Prestige, Mass-Market and Companies.
We highlight the following actions in the 1st half of 2013:
The optimisation of technological solutions in place enabled the Contact Centre to focus on an ever more customer-oriented service, encompassing all its needs, during the 1st half of 2013. The level of efficiency attained helped improve the quality of services provided, the proactive promotion of products and services adjusted to their needs, with strict compliance with their instructions.
The Internet & Mobile area is responsible for innovating, maintaining and managing the Bank's Internet (Individuals and Corporate) and Mobile (Millennium App, Mobile Web and Mobile SMS services) channels. This team is also responsible for assessing how usable the channels are and for arranging with the IT Division the developments and corrections necessary, as well as for working with the digital communication agency responsible for managing the Facebook pages: Millennium Mobile and Millennium Sugere. During the 1st six months of 2013, the following projects stood out:
Information on the contacts of the Client Manager and of the Private Banker in the landing page of the millenniumbcp.pt website after the login.
Permanent update of the information regarding products and services sold by the Bank on the website (Individuals and Corporate) and also actions to improve business carried out based on the website, aiming to disclose and sell products, solutions and increase the use of the website.
In the 1st half of 2013, the Direct Sales Unit developed its outbound commercial activity in accordance with the goals and strategy defined for individual customers of the Mass Market segment. This Unit handled about 8500 leads, obtaining a very interesting number of purchase intentions in several campaigns (especially savings with pre-scheduled monthly payments) so as to offer a product range that better fits the Clients' needs.
The strategic priorities of the Telemarketing channel, in the 1st half of 2013, were to contribute to the increase of the Bank's sales, introducing improvements that help perfect service quality and cut down costs. During the 1st half, 152,657 Clients were contacted, of which 144,569 within the scope of commercial campaigns and 8,088 within the scope of the new performance assessment programme, resulting in 28,349 intentions.
After the Residents Abroad segment was restructured and the new Business model started being implemented, there was a 19% increase in Transfers year-on-year, based on a 62% surge in transferor Customers.
The improvement of the commercial dynamics of the Retail Network enabled the sustainable growth of resources and the increase of cross-selling levels in the segment, namely through the sale of the Integrated Solution Mais Portugal, with a very high rise during his year.
During the 1st Semester, this area also focused on the Golden Permit Residence and the sale of the Bank's real estate properties.
In the 1st half of 2013, the Bank remained focused on the strategic objectives of expanding its customer base and increasing customers' involvement with the Bank. Each of these two strategic objectives was developed according to the following vectors:
Recovering the prominent and leadership position in providing online investment banking services.
During the 1st six months of 2013, several initiatives were developed, amongst which we underline the following:
I. Growth and consolidation of the commercial network
The Bank focused on the expansion of non-banking recommendations, reaching 198 associated promoters and strengthening the approach for Employees of companies identified with the Bank's segment, partly capitalizing on the expansion of the Activo Points network.
II. Institutional communication campaigns and value proposition
The communication campaign to attract customers on the radio, facebook and Internet, executed during the 1st half of 2013, focused on the competitive advantages that set ActivoBank apart from the competition, allowing it to obtain enhanced brand awareness and to increase the number of friends on facebook. The communication campaign developed under the motto: "Banco de Ideias", a Bank of Ideas that underlined ActivoBank's image as a social network bank and a bank that listens to its customers.
Also in the 1st half, increased advertising presence permanently on facebook allowed the Bank to continue to gain more friends in this network and to become one of the frontline institutions in Portuguese social networks.
Simultaneously with the institutional communication, the Bank opted for the local regeneration of Activo Points, either through support to specific events in each city, such as the association to TEDx Porto, or in events with great visibility such as the Color Run and the Out Jazz concerts.
III. Launching new products and services, binding and segmentation
During the 1st half, ActivoBank launched a Home Loan Solution and an innovative Home Leasing Solution, continued to innovate with the introduction of transferences receivable using QR codes and developed institutional communication for the Protection Solution, aiming to continue to meet its clients' demands.
The implementation of Phase 2 of the CRM and segmentation model developed by the Bank, which aims to initially cement the relationship with its customers from a day-to-day perspective, and then focus on meeting the financial needs that arise throughout the clients' lives, represented another step towards ensuring a sustainable long-term involvement with the customer.
Also within the scope of CRM, the Bank put in place the Next Best Offer concept, presenting Customers with a product or service proposal in a coordinated and coherent manner, so as to better fit their profile and needs at each moment in time.
The set of actions taken, along with continuous bet on innovation, contributed to a 49% increase of the customer base in the 1st half.
Companies posted a net loss of 33.5 million Euros in the 1st half of 2013, compared with a net loss of 11.8 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012, mainly determined by the decrease in net interest income and despite lower impairment charges and operating costs.
The decrease in net interest income in the 1st half of 2013, in comparison with the same period of 2012, was a result from a decrease in loans to customers, determined by smaller demand from economic agents and increases in funding costs, despite the repricing effort in credit operations.
The decrease of loans impairment charges for loan losses, despite an adverse macroeconomic context and the deterioration of companies' financial and economic conditions, reflects the provisions reinforcement posted in the 1st half of 2012 as part of to the Special Inspections Programme.
Loans to customers as at 30 June 2013 went down 10.6% from the same period in the previous year totalling 9,194 million Euros by the end of the 1st half of 2013, mainly due to the decrease in short-term financing. Total customer funds reached 3,313 million Euros as at 30 June 2013, up 3.6% year-on-year, sustained by the performance of assets under management.
The network's activity in the 1st half of 2013 was strongly conditioned by the particularly adverse economic framework, resulting from the contraction in the domestic market and in the main target markets for Portuguese exports. The companies' commercial activities slowed down and have no new investment projects due to excessive installed productive capacity and uncertainty as to the macroeconomic performance.
Within this context, the strategic priority in the Companies Network during the 1st half of 2013 was to put in place a strategy for increased support to companies, namely SMEs, considering that the success of Portuguese companies will be of the utmost importance and a catalyst for the country's economic recovery and consequently for the Bank's success, based on the following actions:
Aiming to put in place the strategic actions, the following initiatives were developed:
Large Companies, providing specialized monitoring from Millennium Investment Banking in the set up of the funding operations.
Despite being more selective in credit granting, Millennium bcp kept its commitment to support companies that present a sustainable economic and financial structure, especially in the tradable goods and service sectors and/or that develop an export strategy.
The strategic priorities of the Real Estate Business Division consisted, in terms of credit, on the consolidation of the new sales structure, preventive management and recovery of past due loans and expected losses and, in terms of real-estate, on the decrease of the properties' time to market and increase of sales.
Amongst the various initiatives undertaken, we highlight the following:
In an economic context that continues to exhibit a downward trend in most market indicators: turnover, yields, sales values and rent per m2, Interfundos focused its strategy on restructuring operations, promoting sales, specialising and optimising its activity.
In order to pursue this strategy, Interfundos:
During the 1st six months of 2013, the volume of assets under management by Interfundos totalled 1.499 billion Euros, granting it the market leadership position.
During the 1st six months of 2013, Millennium bcp strengthened its commitment with the microcredit activity. The current economic context continues to be perceived by the Bank as an opportunity to provide support to all those who have an entrepreneurial mind and a feasible business idea, providing them with the help to create their own businesses.
Within this scope, the main strategic priorities of microcredit were based on the disclosure of this type of funding, part of the Bank's social responsibility policy and part of the promotion of an entrepreneurial spirit in the different regions of Portugal, in order to strengthen the leading position of Millennium bcp in this area. For that purpose, several initiatives were carried out with municipalities, parishes, universities, professional schools and other entities that develop their activities near the targetpopulation. These initiatives, articulated with the Bank's retail network, enabled the creation of performance synergies. We point out the following:
As a result of the work developed during the 1st six months of 2013, the Microcredit of Millennium bcp financed 96 new operations, totalling 1.053 million Euros of credit granted and the creation of 158 new jobs. The volume of credit granted to the 1,008 operations in the portfolio, up to 30 June 2013, totalled 10.411 million Euros.
Corporate & Investment Banking recorded net losses of 73.4 million Euros on 30 June 2013, compared with a net loss of 16.6 million Euros in the 1st half of 2012, mainly determined by the increase in loans impairment charges and the decrease in net interest income.
The 19.8% decrease in net interest income is related to the reduction in total loans to customers, determined by the lower demand of loans from economic agents, as well as to the decrease on margin rates, despite the improved performance in the margin of customer funds. The decrease in other net income was mainly due to the fall in net commissions from signature loans, bond loans and net commissions associated to demand deposits.
The increase in impairment charges for loan losses in the 1st half of 2013, from the same period in 2012, resulted from the anticipation of the reinforcement of impairment charges for credit risks originally planned for the 2nd half of, together with the adverse macroeconomic context with consequent deterioration of companies' financial and economic conditions.
As at 30 June 2013, loans to customers decreased 7.1% from the end of June 2012, standing at 12.872 billion Euros, particularly medium- and long-term financing. Total customer funds reached 12.937 billion Euros as at 30 June 2013, up by 8.7% compared to the figures recorded on 30 June 2012, due to the increase in balance sheet customer deposits and assets under management.
The activities carried out by companies during the 1st six months of 2013 were strongly affected by the particularly adverse economic conjuncture. The commercial activities of the companies slowed down and the same was characterized by the lack of new investment projects due to the oversized installed capacity and the feeling of uncertainty concerning macroeconomic prospects.
Within this context, the strategic priorities of the Corporate Network were:
To resume the support given to companies, namely in terms of credit enabling them to pursue their current activities, particularly of those related with their operating cycle;
Among the initiatives held in order to implement the defined strategic priorities, we must highlight the following:
In spite of the unfavourable evolution registered by the domestic stock market as of May 2013 leading PSI 20 to close the semester with a slight loss, the volumes traded were higher than the ones traded last year and the bank increased its market share in Euronext Lisboa to 6.6%, disputing the leadership of the brokerage market with the domestic banks within an environment of strong competition with the foreign banks that already represent more than 60%, in total. At the same time, the bank is developing actions to improve the offer made by the several channels that receive and execute stock exchange orders in all domestic and international markets in order to better satisfy the increasingly sophisticated needs of the Clients.
During the 1st six months of 2013, the Bank more than doubled its offer of Certificates, particularly those on stock indexes, with a strong contribution given by the Prestige segment. This result confirms, without a shadow of doubt, the value and interest of this type of investment for the Clients, namely in what concerns allocation, increase of the yield and diversification of their assets by means of a unique, distinctive and innovative number of products.
This year, Millennium was distinguished by Euronext Lisboa as the entity that obtained more nominations and four awards. Three of those distinctions were awarded due to the capital markets and stock exchange activities developed by Millennium during 2012: Market member - Most Active Trading House in Shares – small and medium capitalizations; Market member - Most Active Trading House in Certificates; Best Capital Market Promotion Event – Dedicated to retail investors and Global Investment Challenge – organized by SDG, in a partnership established with Millennium BCP and the weekly newspaper Expresso.
During the 1st six months of 2013, Millennium investment banking maintained its presence in the segment of bond issues addressed to retail and was joint-leader of the bonds public offering of Benfica SAD (45 million Euros) and participated as Co-Leader in the bonds public offering of Mota-Engil (175 million Euros). After the deleverage process that took place in the last few financial years, the 1st six months of 2013 showed an increase in finance operations, translated in the engagement of new Commercial Paper operations. In this context, we must mention the operations that the bank led for Sonaecom (100 million Euros), Auto-Sueco (increase of the amount to 45 million Euros) and Europa&c Kraft Viana (20 million Euros) besides making a number of maturity extensions in other Programs.
The Bank continued to set up and place structured products, in the wake of the commercial actions developed by the Retail networks and Private Banking to get new stable customer funds. The offer of structured investment products was mainly composed by indexed deposits due to the Customers' appetite for this type of investment. The total amount placed exceeded 500 million Euros.
The macro and microeconomic environment conditioned the foreign exchange business that remained depressed, notwithstanding the increasing trade flows registered in some segments and markets. Since the interest rate risk hedging opportunities remained conditioned by the reduced number of new medium- and long-term financing operations, the activities developed consisted mainly in detecting those opportunities and in the adjustment of existing hedging structures due to the renegotiation or refinancing of underlying operations.
In the area of Corporate Finance, the Bank participated in several relevant projects, providing financial advising to its Clients in dossiers involving the study, development and making of M&A operations, evaluation of companies, company restructuring and reorganization processes, as well as the economicfinancial analysis and study of projects. In what concerns the several advisory jobs developed by the Bank in the M&A segment, we must point out the agreement for the sale of ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal by the Portuguese State to the French Group Vinci, signed in February 2013. Millennium investment banking participated in this privatization process and the sale has already been approved in June by the European Commission. Also in June, EDP Renováveis, advised by Millennium investment banking, concluded the sale to CITIC CWEI Renewables S.C.A. of a 49% stake in the share capital of EDPR EDP Renováveis Portugal, S.A. and of 25% of the outstanding shareholders loans made to this company, within the scope of the strategic partnership EDP/CTG established in December 2011, effective as of May 2012. The sale of the stake mentioned above was made in December 2012.
In Structured Finance and during the 1st six months of 2013, Millennium investment banking was involved in the search for new financing opportunities and analysed credit operations for the food, distribution, media, cement and car component sectors; by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2013, some of these operations were already being negotiated/structured with the clients. During the 1st six months of 2013, the area of Structured Finance was deeply involved in the financial follow-up, analysis and restructuring of around twenty-five Portuguese companies / economic groups.
The international Division based its strategic performance during the 1st six months of 2013 on 3 pillars:
The redefinition of the performance scope to include the Financial Institutions Group extended the activities developed by this Division to all Financial Institutions (and not only Banks) in all geographies where the Bank operates.
More than 150 meetings were held with external counterparties for the presentation and promotion of the Bank's businesses. The straightforwardness and transparency with which these presentations were made, together with a strict compliance with the Strategic Plan announced by the Bank made these presentations to be favourably accepted by the Bank's interlocutors, in spite of the uncertainty transmitted by the Portuguese conjuncture and, particularly, the European one.
Apart from the capture and reinforcement of lines and limits, this Division also provides correspondent services to more than 230 international banks, managing 840 million Euros of funds, with a 25% share in payments remitted and a 23% share in payments received.
The Institutional Custody services is internationally recognized as one of the best of the market, having been distinguished by the magazine Global Custodian as "Top rated". It provides services to outstanding international entities, manages more than 76 billion assets and has a 44% market share (non-resident institutional entities).
Concerning support to the internationalization of the Companies through the International Business Platform, it gave a particular attention to the countries where the bank operates and to others deemed very important. Millennium bcp has been implementing a policy based on a closer proximity with its Clients and a better coordination with its units placed abroad so as to know the business better and be able to anticipate the needs of its Clients and propose value-added solutions.
At the beginning of the year, all the competences related with the Trade Finance business were concentrated in the International Division, a clear sign that the bank is very committed in the pursuit of this business.
The ownership of the Trade Finance business with the corresponding management and development of products, together with the management information developed during these six months enabled the bank to provide a substantial support to exports and to the internationalization of our Customers.
Under the denomination Millennium Trade Solutions, the mission of which is to implement the bank's strategic option in terms of support to international trade, the bank held more than 400 meetings with companies during these six months.
The Asset Management & Private Banking, considering the geographical segmentation recorded, in the 1st half of 2013, a net contribution of 7.4 million Euros, compared with a net contribution of 11.7 million Euros in the same period of the previous year. This performance was based on the decrease in net interest income and on the increase in impairment charges, despite the reduction in operating costs.
The decrease in net interest income during the 1st half of 2013 compared to the amount accounted in the same period of 2012 was mainly due to the downturn in the margin from loans to customers and from term deposits. The decrease of loans interest rates and the evolution of loan volumes had a negative effect on net interest income.
The increase in impairment charges for loan losses in the 1st half of 2013 compared with the amount recorded in the 1st half of 2012 resulted from an adverse macroeconomic context with deterioration of economic conditions. In terms of operating costs, the decrease was mainly due to the decrease in staff costs, influenced by the reduction in the number of employees.
Loans to customers decreased 14.8% between 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2013, mainly due to the decrease in the Private Banking portfolio in Portugal. As at 30 June 2013 total customers funds rose 1.3%, from the 1st half of 2012, reaching 5,794 million Euros, influenced by the increase of assets under management.
The Asset Management Area includes the company Millennium Gestão de Activos that manages the Millennium stock funds in the domestic market and the risk capital fund Millennium Fundo de Capitalização, FCR and Millennium Sicav, incorporated in Luxembourg, for institutional investors and Group clients abroad.
In the 1st half year of 2013, the management of securities investment funds registered a significant increase. Millennium Gestão de Activos presented a total of 1.2545 billion Euros in assets under management by the end of June, evidencing a growth of 47.6% versus the same period in 2012 and of 10.4% versus the previous quarter. The short-term oriented investment funds - treasury securities funds and short-term investment special funds – presented the most significant growth, showing an evolution consistent with the market in general. The funds with greater potential and risk, such as stock funds and funds of funds, globally registered a decrease of around 10% in relation to June 2012 and 5% versus the previous quarter. In terms of the domestic market, the company presented the second highest growth rate in terms of assets since the beginning of the year, reaching a market share of 9.3% in June, comparing with 8.8% in March 2013 and 7.6% one year ago.
The development of the trading of Millennium securities funds in the Group's commercial networks results from the positioning of the investment funds as a pillar of the diversification of the financial assets of investors and clients. Within the current context wherein clients are searching for alternatives to apply their savings, though retaining some risk aversion, the short-term funds managed by Millennium
Gestão de Activos became a proposal with value targeted at clients with a conservative profile that wish to remunerate their savings in an attractive manner. The company promoted several mergers, liquidations, changes to the investment policy or adjustments in the fund's fees in order to simplify the funds and decrease the commercial networks' trading costs. It also increased the number of multi-active funds available by launching the Millennium Multi Assets Selection fund in June, a proposal targeting clients showing a moderate risk profile that search medium-term solutions to optimize the yield of their assets and have a very diversified portfolio with investments made in several classes of assets and regions. The transfer of the real estate funds to Interfundos, a company specialized in that activity, also took place during the 1st six months of 2013. The risk capital fund Millennium Fundo de Capitalização, FCR was created by the end of June.
Regarding Millennium Sicav, total assets managed by all its sub-funds attained 84.6 million Euros by the end of the 1st half-year of 2013, representing a 30.0% growth versus the figures estimated in the same period of 2012, translating, essentially, the investment made by institutional clients during the beginning of the 2nd quarter of 2013.
In the 2nd half-year, apart from ensuring that the commercial promotion of the Millennium funds continues, the company shall complete the adjustment of its fund offer to the new Portuguese legislation and regulations. These new regulations intend to adjust the domestic legal framework to the European one, on all aspects related with the management of securities investment funds. Millennium Gestão de Activos will promote its new activity - the management of risk capital – to companies that represent opportunities for applications of the risk capital fund.
The strategic priorities guiding the commercial actions of the Private Banking during the 1st six months of 2013 follow the strategy designed in 2012:
The objectives defined for the 1st six months of 2013 were:
During the 1st six months of 2013, the following initiatives stood out:
The net contribution of the Foreign Business, considering the geographical segmentation, recorded 82.4 million Euros, in the 1st half of 2013, which compares favourably with the negative 408.0 million Euros registered in the same period in 2012. This performance was determined by the impact of the Bank's operation in Greece, which was recently sold and is presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as income arising from discontinued operations. Excluding the impact from the Bank's operation in Greece, foreign business net contribution increased 14.3% from the 1st half of 2012.
In the 1st six months of 2013, all the operations recorded positive contribution except for Romania, which even so improved its year-on-year results, aiming for break-even in 2014.
The observed decrease in net interest income in the 1st half of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, was mainly driven by the Bank's operation in Mozambique, with its negative impact on funding costs due to pressure to attract customer funds. At the same time, the intermediation margin of banks has been affected by the monetary policy followed by Mozambique's Central Bank, which lowered reference rates and decreased the issue of Treasury Bills.
The increase in other net income accounted in the 1st half of 2013, in comparison with the figures of the 1st half of 2012, was common to all the operations abroad, with special highlight for Poland's performance.
Operating costs in the 1st half of 2013 decreased 2.3% when compared to the value recorded in the 1st half of 2012, benefiting from the decrease in Poland.
The increase in impairment charges in the 1st six months of 2013, relative to the impairments recorded in the same period of the previous year, is associated to a higher level of impairment recorded for the Polish and Romanian subsidiary companies, partly offset by the smaller impairment charges recorded in Mozambique, Angola and Switzerland.
As at 30 June 2013, total customers funds, excluding the impact from the sale of the Greek subsidiary, were up 8.8% compared to the amount recorded at the end of the 1st half of 2012, benefiting from all the operations except for the Cayman Islands, particularly Poland where total customer funds were up 1.125 billion Euros mostly driven by the rise in balance sheet customers deposits.
At the end of the 1st half of 2013, loans to customers, excluding the impact from the sale of the Greek subsidiary remained stable (+0.1%) since the increases in Mozambique, in Romania and in Poland more than offset the decrease posted by the operations in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.
By the end of October 2012, Bank Millennium announced a new strategy for 2013-2015. The definition of the new strategy was based on the future prospects on the macroeconomic context, the current trends of the banking industry in Poland and also the level of ambition towards achieving a higher performance and generating value for the Shareholders, Customers and Employees.
The medium-term objectives for 2015, in accordance with the new strategy are:
Thus, in the 1st six months of 2013, the main initiatives developed aiming to materialize the strategic priorities were focused on:
The gradual implementation of the main strategic initiatives contributed in a positive manner for the results achieved during the 1st six months of 2013, supporting profitability in a context of low interest rates.
Concerning business, the results were already meaningful during the 1st six months of 2013 due to the acceleration of the implementation of the strategy consisting in altering the credit and deposits structure:

During the 1st six months of 2013, Banca Millennium continued to consolidate its positioning in the sector as a universal bank supported by a wide base of clients and high business volumes. The Millennium brand is well-known in the Romanian market and is associated with positive attributes. The bank has a network with 65 retail branches located throughout the country and 8 corporate centres located in the main Romanian cities. Banca Millennium operates with 584 Employees and has more than 73 thousand customers.
The bank's strategy for 2013 is based on 3 pillars: increase the business volumes by increasing sales; simplification of the organization and maintenance of a conservative approach to risk management. Concerning its commercial activities, the bank reviewed its business model, reorganizing the sales areas (commercial and retail) to make them more efficient. Within this context, we must underline the adoption of a low cost retail distribution hub and spoke model, based on hubs - large branches with relationship managers and product specialists - and spokes - small branches essentially focused on transactional banking and sale of basic products. This solution enabled the bank to increase the number of employees exercising sales functions and, simultaneously, reduce costs. At the same time, the bank perfected is value proposal for each Client segment and gave a particular attention to mass market and SMEs. The objective of the mass market segment is to increase the number of customers of the bank, becoming the main source of funding to support the bank's growth and a way to reduce the average cost of deposits through the increase in the number of wage and current accounts. Loans were granted mainly to SMEs, particularly to companies operating in sectors showing more favourable prospects. The results for the 1st quarter of 2013 show a clear increase in the number of new customers, mainly supported by the establishment of a significant number of wage accounts conventions with companies. On the other hand, deposits and credit grew almost 18% and 19%, respectively.
During the 1st half of 2013, Banca Millennium tried to align its costs structure with its banking revenues profile through an ongoing effort to improve its efficiency levels by means of the renegotiation of several outsourcing contracts, simplification of several business key procedures and adjustment of the number of employees to the current activity level, maintaining the Client's service quality. It is important to mention that the bank continued to reduce its operating costs for the 3rd consecutive year. In June 2013 the bank reached, for the 1st time since its incorporation, the operational breakeven on a monthly basis.
The bank maintained a conservative approach to risk, ensuring a solvency ratio aligned with the sector, reducing the loan to deposit ratio and the loans in foreign currencies, adopting a strict credit granting policy and improved procedures for the recovery of past due loans. The loan concession activity focused mainly at short term loans to SMEs operating in selected sectors, collateralized retail credits and at, in a smaller extent, non-collateralized loans to clients showing a good payment history. This policy enabled the bank to improve its credit quality indicators.

During the 1st six months of 2013 net income increased almost 50% if compared with the same period of 2012, converging to break-even, which must be reached in 2014. The operating income increased 79% year-on-year. This improvement was based on an outstanding increase of profits (32%), supported by an increase in the number of clients and in a growth exceeding that of the market and also in an important cost reduction (10%).
The Millennium Banque Privée, incorporated in Switzerland in 2003, is a private banking platform that provides services to clients of the Group with high assets, namely discretionary management, financial advising and orders execution services.
On 30 June 2013, the clients' assets under management totalled 1.8 billion, representing a 7% increase if compared with December 2012. This evolution results mainly from the new net assets from clients and of the positive effect of the market quotes, partially compensated by the effect of the deleveraging of the loans to clients portfolio.
During the 1st six months of 2013, the Bank's net income totalled 3.8 million Euros, in comparison with 1.4 million Euros recorded on 30 June 2012. These figures result mainly from the increase in net fees from 7.4 to 9.9 million Euros, mainly related with more brokerage revenues and the positive effect of the market evolution on assets under management. Besides, the bank's cost reduction strategy resulted in a reduction in operating costs, from 9.6 million Euros to 8.8 million Euros. However, the reduction of net interest income, from 3.4 million Euros to 3 million Euros, limited the growth of net earnings.
During the 2nd half of 2013, the bank will focus its attention on offering its clients a number of quality and personalized services, providing a safe and autonomous platform supported by an irrevocable commitment of compliance with the risk profile, a strict management of risks and an efficient IT platform. In order to develop its activities, the Bank will carry out the following initiatives:

During the 1st six months of 2013, Millennium bim, with 152 branches located throughout the country (147 in June 2012), strengthened its leading position in the banking sector in Mozambique. Apart from a larger branches network, the bank has the highest number of ATMs (399 units) and POS (4,648 units), registering a 10% and 37% growth, year-on-year.
The pressure to increase resources continues, with negative impact on their cost. On the other hand, the maintenance of the monetary policy followed by Banco de Moçambique until May 2013, cutting its reference rates and reducing the issue of Treasury Bills, exercised a negative effect on the Bank's intermediation margins.
Notwithstanding, Millennium bim has been carrying out initiatives that enabled it to maitain its loans market share practically at the same level than June 2012, always taking into consideration the defence of the margin and the quality of the loans granted, privileging good risk operations backed by reinforced collaterals. At the same time, and pursuing its business strategy, the bank has been concentrating its efforts in the capture of customer funds in order to maintain its market share and increase its liquidity levels.
In 2013, the bank continued to launch innovative products and services in order to fully meet the financial needs of its customers, such as:
The market once again recognized and distinguished the value proposal presented by Millennium bim. The clients trust its products and services and subscribe them, a fact proved by the increase registered in the number of clients, more than 1,182 thousand, representing a 7% increase, year-on-year.

The Macau Branch achieved an income totalling 9.1 million Euros during the 1st six months of 2013, representing a 41% increase versus the same period in 2012, reflecting the null cost of risk in 2013 and the increase in net interest income (+37%).
The increase in loans portfolio due to a price/volume good performance, the positive evolution of the spreads and the advantageous mix in the deposits portfolio (current and term deposits) were the basis for the income obtained during the 1st six months of 2013.
The most significant activities and events carried out by the Branch in Macau during the 1st six months of 2013, were:
The branch moved into a more modern building and that move implied the modernization of the operational equipment, providing the branch with the logistic capacity to better assist the companies that are clients of the Bank and wish to use the Macau platform to develop their businesses in southern China;

The economic and financial crisis, which suffered an aggravation in the last two years, continues to affect the evolution shown by the insurance market. The Bank's balance sheet deleveraging process is almost complete, before the established deadline. This process produced very negative effects in the insurance industry, especially in life insurances where more than 90% of the premium volumes comes from the banking channel. However, and in spite of the growth shown by the volumes in the 1st six months of 2013, the funds under management (mathematical provisions) remain practically the same showing that the recovery process of the life insurance business is still very incipient. Volumes in nonlife insurance businesses continue to fall due to the recessive economic environment that is affecting Portugal, leading to an increase in the number of insurances annulled and to a decrease in the insured assets.
The 1st six months of 2013 turned out to be both extremely demanding and challenging; Millenniumbcp Ageas is committed to executing the new strategic agenda, denominated Vision 2015, defined during the 2011 financial year with the aim of, strategically, redefining the business model of Millenniumbcp Ageas and ensuring its future development. The main guidelines of this strategy are the increased attention given to non-life insurance businesses, the sector where Millenniumbcp Ageas has more opportunities to grow due to the fewer products sold keeping, nevertheless, its leading position in the life insurance business, an activity that will continue to be, during the forthcoming years, its main source of income.
The execution of the new agenda is already giving a new profile to Millenniumbcp Ageas: throughout the 1st six months, the premiums of non-life insurance grew, despite the fall registered by the market; it was also able to maintain a leading position in the life insurance business, maintaining a sustained profitability, succeeding in the strengthening of the balance sheet translated in a solvency ratio three times above the one legally required.
The life insurance business, driven by the financial products, presented a significant growth in premiums during the 1st six months of 2013, showing a 49%, increase versus the same period of 2012. However, and as mentioned before, the volume of mathematical provisions remained, more or less, stable. Concerning the life insurance business, Millenniumbcp Ageas' performance was better than that of the market (a 48.5% growth in the volume of premiums). It continues to have a leading position in what concerns mathematical provisions, with a share market above 25%. Contrary to what happened in the market (showing a 3.8% decline) the non-life insurance business of Millenniumbcp Ageas showed a 3.0% growth.
The good operating performance, both in life and non-life, notwithstanding the increase in the number of incidents in some businesses due to adverse weather conditions, and cost control enabled Millenniumbcp Ageas to achieve a net income of 53 million Euros by the end of the 1st six months of 2013. Its financial strength has been strongly reinforced, as evidenced by its consolidated solvency ratio of 302% (273% by the end of 2012).

As at 30 June 2013, pension liabilities were fully funded and kept at a higher level than the minimum set by the Bank of Portugal, presenting a coverage rate of 117% (105% at the end of June 2012). On the same date, the pensions liabilities reached 2,304 million Euros, which compares with 2,393 million Euros registered on 30 June 2012. The Pension Fund recorded, as of 30 June 2013, a positive rate of return of 0.6%, which compares with a negative rate of return of 4.1% as of 30 June 2012.
As at 30 June 2013, the bank kept the Pension Fund's actuarial assumptions considered at the end of 2012 for the purpose of determining the liabilities related to retirement pensions. At the end of the 1st semester of 2013 the main actuarial assumptions were: 4.5% discount rate, salary growth rate of 1.0% until 2016 and 1.75% after 2017 and pension growth rate of 0% until 2016 and 0.75% after 2017. The actuarial differences recorded in the 1st six months of 2013, considering the financial and non-financial, reached 45 million Euros.
Actuarial differences in the 1st six months of 2013 had a negative impact, after tax and after corridor impact, of 7 basis points on core tier I ratio. However, considering the additional negative effects associated to the depreciation of deferred impacts allowed by the Bank of Portugal, the impact increased to 9 basis points.
Risk Management
Throughout the 1st half of 2013, the Risk Office pursued its activities concerning the promotion and coordination of risks' management and control, as well as the reporting - both external and internal for the different risk types in which the Group incurs, resulting from the development of its businesses.
The risk management activities were centred on the following lines of action:
A highlight should also be made upon the continuous improvement of processes for the identification, assessment, monitoring and control of risks, as well as of its reporting - namely, to the Audit Committee and to the Risk Commission.
The risk management governance framework encompasses several bodies, as represent in the following chart:
Following, a description of the competences and attributions of the bodies intervening in risk management governance at Group level – either with management or internal supervisory capacities (except for the Board of Directors and its Executive Commission).
The Risk Assessment Committee is composed by three non-executive members of the Board of Directors and has the following competences:
The Audit Committee is also composed by three non-executive members of the Board of Directors and has the following attributions:
The Audit Committee is the main addressee of the Internal Audit's, Certified Accountant's and External Auditors' reports and holds regular meetings with the Director responsible for the financial area, with the Group Risk Officer, with the Compliance Officer and the with the Head of Internal Audit.
The Risk Commission is responsible for the follow-up of overall risk levels (credit, market, liquidity and operational risks), ensuring that these are compatible with the objectives, the available financial resources and the strategies approved for the development of the Group's activity.
This Commission includes all of the members of the Executive Commission, the Group Risk Officer, the Compliance Officer and the Heads of Internal Audit, of Treasury and Markets, of Research, Planning and ALM, of Credit and of Rating.
The mission of this specialised Sub-commission is the monitoring of the performance and risk of BCP's Pension Funds (the Defined Benefits Fund and the Complementary Fund) and the establishment of adequate investment policies and its respective hedging strategies.
The members of this Sub-Commission are the Executive Commission's members responsible for the financial area and for risk management, the Group Risk Officer and the Heads of Human Resources and of Research, Planning and ALM. Through permanent invitation, the entities linked to the management of the Pension Funds (Pensõesgere and F&C) are also represented.
The Group CALCO is responsible for the management of the overall capital of the Group, for the management of assets and liabilities and for the definition of liquidity management strategies at a consolidated level. Specifically, the Group CALCO Group (also called the Planning and Capital Allocation and Assets and Liabilities Management Commission) is responsible for the structural management of market and liquidity risks, including, among others, the following aspects:
The Group CALCO is chaired by the Executive Commission's member responsible for the financial area and a further four members of the Commission are also members of this body. The other members of the CALCO Group are appointed by the Executive Commission, including, among others, the Heads of Research, Planning and ALM, of Treasury and Markets, of Management Data, of Corporate Business and of Marketing.
It is the person responsible for the risk control function for all entities of the Group. Thus, in order to ensure the transversal monitoring and alignment of concepts, practices and objectives, the Group Risk Officer is responsible for informing the Risk Commission on the general risk level and for proposing measures to improve the control environment and to implement the approved limits.
The Group Risk Officer has veto power concerning any decision that might have an impact on the Group risk levels and is not subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or its Executive Commission.
In order to fulfil its mission, the duties of the Group Risk Officer include:
Ensuring the existence of an effective IT platform and a database for a robust and complete risk management;
Participating in all decisions of relevance to risk and with an impact on the internal control system, empowered with the authority to enforce compliance with the Group's regulations and objectives relative to risk;
The Group Risk Officer is appointed by the Board of Directors and supports the works of the Risk Commission, as well as of its sub-commissions.
Economic Capital breakdown
For the calculation and management of economic capital, the Group considers a time horizon of 12 months, bringing together various aspects of economic, regulatory and practical order around this same forecasting window: business planning, external ratings, the regulatory capital within the scope of Pillar I and quantification of credit risk through the internal probability of default (PD) models, among others.
In the economic capital model used, a goal parameter of a 1-year global default probability of 6 basis points was defined (at a confidence level of 99,94%).
The graph below shows the economic capital breakdown in June 2013:
Credit risk continues to be the most significant for the Group. Equities risk represented 23% of the total economic capital (before diversification benefits); the Group's participation in Piraeus Bank contributes for the weight of this risk.
In the 1st half of 2013, the following activities - concerning credit risk assessment, follow-up and control, for the different portfolio segments - are highlighted:
The graphs below present the breakdown of the consolidated direct credit portfolio, as at 30th of June 2012, in terms of exposure classes:
As previously referred, by the end of the 1st quarter of the year the Group presented to Banco de Portugal its annual report on Credit Concentration Risk, referred to 31/12/2011, in compliance with the supervisor's Instrução no. 5/2011.
This report identified the top 100 credit risk positions, in terms of individual exposures (single name concentrations) and also showed the exposures' distribution in terms of economical activity sectors (sector concentration), both at consolidated level and for each of the three major countries where the Group operates.
It's worth mentioning that Banco de Portugal's requirements reinforce the Group's policies concerning the identification, assessment and management of credit risk concentration. In fact, there are internally defined limits to credit exposure, aiming at the mitigation of this risk. The status of the largest credit exposures towards those limits is regularly monitored by the Risk Office and reported to the Audit Committee and to the Risk Commission.
The next table shows the position of the 20 largest customer groups by the end of the 1st half of 2013, as a percentage of Own Funds, as well as its weights over the consolidated Exposure at Default.
| Clients' Groups | Net Exposure / Own Funds | EAD weight in total EAD |

The Models Control Unit (a sub-unit of the Risk office) is responsible for the independent monitoring and validation of credit and market risks models and systems.
The implemented monitoring and validation structure also includes the model owners, the rating systems owners, the Validation Committee, the Risk Commission and the Internal Audit Division.
During the 1st half of 2013, as planned, several validation, calibration and revision/improvement actions were performed over credit risk and market risks models.
In the case of credit risk models, these actions were focused on rating models and systems for Corporate and Retail, in its various components, for models used in Portugal and in some subsidiaries abroad.
Within the scope of the validation processes, the most significant models are the Value-at-Risk (VaR) model for market risks, the losses estimation model (LGD model), the credit conversion factors estimation model (CCF model) and the probability of default (PD) models, such as the Small, Mid and Large Corporate rating models, the Real Estate Promotion rating model and the TRIAD behavioural models applied to retail customers.
The follow-up and validation of models also aims to monitor and increase the knowledge about its quality, in order to strengthen the capacity to timely react to changes in its predictive powers, thus enabling the Group to reinforce its confidence in the use and performance of each of the implemented models and systems.
The Group's activities related to the management of this risk were continued in the 1st half of 2013 in the main subsidiaries of the Group, with the following achievements' highlights:
The regular monitoring of the risk indicators that contribute for an early identification of changes in the processes' risk profiles;
The launching of the operational risk management system in Cayman and preparation for the launching in Angola;
The main goal for creating an operational loss events' database is to increase awareness of this risk and provide relevant information to the Process Owners, for incorporation within the processes management.
The profile of the events recorded in the database of the Group until 30 June 2013 – by cause, geography and amount - is presented in the following graphs. These show that most of the losses were caused by procedural flaws and external causes, occurred mainly in Poland and Portugal and resulted in low materiality amount (less than € 20,000).
Bytype ofevent
LOSS AMOUNTS DISTRIBUTION Bycountry
The annual risks self-assessment exercises (RSA) aim to identify effective or potential risks within the scope of each process, promoting the reduction or elimination of the most significant exposures.
These exercises are regularly executed in Portugal, Poland, Greece, Romania and Mozambique.
The classification of each risk, within each process, is obtained through its positioning on a risktolerance matrix, for three different scenarios, allowing for:
The most significant exposures are mitigated through corrective measures identified during the RSA exercises, its implementation being monitored through the IT application that supports operational risk management.
The RSA annual exercises also allow the profiling of the magnitude of the 20 different risk sub-types that are considered in operational risk management - considering the expected severity of loss events and the expected frequency of such events – for the global set of processes considered, for each country.
When loss events are registered for the operational processes, this information is used to measure the results (back-testing) of the self-assessments by the Process Owners and Process Managers.
Key Risk Indicators (KRI) provide alerts for possible changes in risk profiles or in the effectiveness of the controls, allowing for the identification of corrective measures that contribute to prevent potential risks.
The use of this management tool has been progressively extended to new processes of the major operations, and has recently been extended to Mozambique. The identification of KRI for new processes is supported by an 'indicators library'' at Group level which currently has over 350 KRI for the monitoring of risks of the major processes (business processes and business' support processes). The processes management also uses performance and control indicators (Key Performance Indicators - KPI and Key Control Indicators - KCI). Although oriented to operational efficiency, the monitoring of such indicators also contributes for risks prevention.
Business continuity plans (within Business Continuity Management) have been defined and implemented for the main Group operations, in order to ensure the continuity of the main business activities in the event of disaster or major contingency.
In the last semester, this operational risk management component continued to be improved being promoted and coordinated by a dedicated organizational unit. A highlight should be made upon the undertaking of contingency simulation exercises, within the scope of a program and strategy previously approved, allowing for the testing of the defined recovery plans and train employees from organizational units that support the activities of critical processes
The contracting of insurance for risks related to assets, persons or third party liability is another important instrument within operational risk management, aiming at the transfer - total or partial - of risks.
Proposals for the contracting of new insurance policies are submitted by process owners, under the scope of their duties concerning the management of operational risks inherent to their processes, or are presented by the Heads of areas or of organizational units, and then analysed by the Risk Commission and authorised by the Executive Commission.
The specialised technical and commercial functions within insurance contracting are entrusted to the Insurance Management Unit which is specialised and transversal to all entities of the Group located in Portugal. This unit and the Risk Office share information for the purpose of strengthening the coverage of the policies, as well as for increasing the quality of the operational losses database.
Market risks consist in the potential losses that might occur in a given portfolio, as a result of changes in interest or exchange rates and/or in the prices of the different financial instruments of the portfolio, considering not only the correlations that exist between those instruments also its volatility.
For the purpose of profitability analysis and of the quantification and control of market risks, the following management areas are defined for each entity of the Group:
Funding Management of institutional funding (wholesale funding) and monetary market positions;
Investment Management of all positions in securities held until maturity (or during a long period of time) or that are not tradable on liquid markets;
The definition of these areas allows for an effective management segregation of the trading and banking books, as well as for a correct allocation of each operation to the most suitable management area, according to its respective context. It should be noted that this trading book definition is not the same as its accounting definition; in fact, the negotiation concept here is strictly connected to the goals of holding the positions, rather than to its accounting treatment.
In order to ensure that the risk levels incurred in the different management areas' portfolios of the Group are in accordance with the Group's risk tolerance levels, several limits are defined for market risks (at least, once a year) and are applied to all management areas portfolios that, in accordance with the management model, might incur in these risks.
The definition of these limits is based on the market risks metrics used by the Group in its control and monitoring, which are followed on a daily basis (or intra-daily, in the case of the financial markets' areas (Trading and Funding) by the Risk Office.
In addition to these risk limits, stop loss limits are also defined for the financial markets areas, based on multiples defined for those areas, aiming at limiting the maximum losses which might occur within each of the areas. When these limits are reached, a review of the management strategy and assumptions for the positions in question must be undertaken.
The Group uses an integrated market risk measurement that allows for the monitoring of all of the risk subtypes that are considered to be relevant. This measurement includes the assessment of the following types of risk: generic risk, specific risk, non-linear risk and commodities' risk.
Each risk subtype is measured individually using an appropriate risk model and the integrated measurement is built from those without considering any type of diversification between the four subtypes (worst-case scenario approach).
For the daily measurement of generic market risk - relative to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, equity risk and price risk of credit default swaps - a VaR (Value-at-Risk) model is used, based on the parametric approximation defined in the methodology developed by RiskMetrics (1996). This approach considers a time horizon of 10 business days and a significance level of 99%.
In this methodology, the volatility of each of the market risk factors (and respective correlations) considered in the model is estimated by an econometric estimation model, EWMA, with an observation period of one year and a time-weighting factor (lambda) of 0.94. The adequacy of this parameter is regularly assessed by the Models' Control unit, through standard criteria.
Furthermore, an internally-developed methodology is also applied, replicating the effect that the main non-linear elements of options' positions might have in the results of the different books in which these are included, in a similar way considered within the VaR methodology, using the same time horizon and significance level.
Specific and commodities' risks are measured through standard methodologies defined in the applicable regulations (arising from Basel), with a corresponding change of the time horizon considered.
The amounts of capital at risk are thus determined, both on an individual basis and in consolidated terms, considering the effects of diversification of the various portfolios. A note should be made to the fact that this approach to the trading book market risks is also followed for the portfolios of other management areas, whenever these incur in these type of risks.
The table below presents the values at risk measured by the methodologies referred to above, for the Trading Book, between 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2013:

Along the 1st half of 2013, the Group's trading book risk showed reduced materiality levels in spite of the relevant increases of market volatility, mainly observed in the Public debt from the Southern European countries. In the 1st half of 2013, the previous market trend for a greater volatility of this segment (when compared to the other market segments) was maintained. Within this environment, the Bank continued to act very prudently, even in terms of the size of its trading book.
The next graph shows that the trading book's main risk during the 1st half of 2013 was the interest rate risk and that the VaR increases that have occurred in that period were due to this type of risk (in particular, due to the volatility increases in the Public Debt segment).
In order to ensure that the internal VaR model is adequate for the risks assessment of the positions held, several validations of different scope and frequency are performed, including back testing, estimation of the effects of diversification and scope analysis of the risk factors considered.
The following graph illustrates the hypothetical back testing for the trading book, confronting the VaR indicators with the hypothetical results of the model used.
As shown by this graph, only 1 excess value was observed (around 0.4% of frequency for 248 business days) over the hypothetical results of the model, which confirms its adequacy for the assessment of the risks in question.
This excess has occurred in the beginning of June 2013, as a result of a sharp daily increase of the Portuguese Public Debt interest rates.
As a complement to the VaR calculation and aiming at identifying risk concentrations that are not captured by this measurement and, also, for the purpose of testing other possible loss dimensions, the Group continuously tests a broad set of stress scenarios over the trading book and analyses its results.
The results of these tests on the Group's trading book, as at 30th of June 2013, were as follows:
| million euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| Tested scenarios | Negative results scenario | Result |
| Parallel shift of the yield curve by +/- 100 bps | + 100 bps | -10.8 |
| Change in the slope of the yield curve | + 25 bps | -0.7 |
| (for maturities from 2 to 10 years) by +/- 25 bps | ||
| 4 possible combinations of the previous 2 scenarios | + 100 bps and + 25 bps |
-11.5 |
| + 100 bps and - 25 bps |
-10.1 | |
| Variation in the main stock market indices by +/- 30% | +30% | -2.1 |
| Variation in foreign exchange rates (against the euro) by +/- 10% | -10%, -25% | -4.0 |
| for the main currencies and by +/- 25% for other currencies | ||
| Variation in swap spreads by +/- 20 bps. | - 20 bps | -0.04 |
The results from these stress tests show that the Group's trading book exposure to the several risk factors considered is limited and that the main adverse scenario at stake is an increase in interest rates, especially if that increase is accompanied by an increase in the steepness of the yelds curve.
The interest rate risk derived from the operations of the Banking Book is assessed through a process of risk sensitivity analysis, undertaken monthly and covering all the operations included in the Group's consolidated Balance Sheet.
The variations in market interest rates have an influence on the Group's net interest income, both under a short and a medium/long term perspective, affecting its economic value in the long term. The main risk factors arise from the repricing mismatch of the portfolio's positions (repricing risk) and from the risk of variation of market interest rates (yield curve risk). Moreover - although of a lesser impact there is the risk of unequal variations in different reference rates with the same repricing period (basis risk).
In order to identify the exposure of the Group's banking book to these risks, the monitoring of the interest rate risk takes into consideration the financial characteristics of the positions registered at the information systems, with the respective expected cash-flows being forecasted in accordance with the repricing dates, thus calculating the impact over economic value resulting from alternative scenarios of change of the market interest rate curves.
This analysis, referred to 30th of June 2013, was carried out by calculating the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch, discounted at market interest rates, and the present value of that mismatch, discounted at market interest rates +100 bps (for all terms), results in an impact of around € -66 M for the positions in Euros.
The following table show the impact on economic value of this shift, for each management area and for the different terms-to-maturity of the positions at stake:
| Reprincing terms to maturity | ||||||

Hence, the sensitivity of the banking book to the interest rates variation has increased, when compared to the situation by the end of 2012: an increase of 100 bps in interest rates would then lead to an economic value loss of around € 16 M, while such an interest rate change would cause a loss of € 66 M by June 2013.
The risk positions that are not subject to specific market hedging operations are transferred internally to the two markets' areas (Funding and ALM), thus becoming an integral part of the respective portfolios. As such, they are daily assessed through the market risks control model for the trading book, already mentioned.
The exchange rate risk of the banking book is transferred internally to the Trading area (Treasury), in accordance with the risk specialisation model followed by the Group for the management of the exchange rate risk of the Balance Sheet.
The only exposures to exchange rate risk that are not included in this transfer – the financial holdings in subsidiaries, in foreign currency - are hedged on a case-by-case basis through market operations. As at 30 June 2013, the Group's financial holdings in USD, CHF and PLN were covered.
On a consolidated basis, these edges are identified, in accounting terms, as "Net investment" hedges, in accordance with the IFRS definition. Hedge accounting also occurs, on an individual basis, at the subsidiaries (in this case, through Fair Value Hedges).
The Group maintains some equities' positions of an insignificant magnitude in the Banking Book, which are not meant to be negotiated with trading purposes.
The management of these positions is carried out by a specific area of the Group, its risk being included in the Investment area and followed-up on a daily basis, through measurements and limits defined for the control of market risks within the Group.
These positions have small dimension and risk within the Group's investment portfolio, only representing around 7.2% of this portfolio's VaR by 30th of June 2013.
Liquidity risk reflects the Group's potential inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses, resulting from the deterioration of funding conditions (funding risk) and/or sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).
Within the current financial markets environment, the Group has been pursuing a strategy of reducing its commercial gap (the difference between clients' deposits and credit to clients), aimed at reducing its funding risk. The commercial gap in Portugal was significantly reduced, contributing to a decrease of around € 1.2 B in the Group's wholesale funding balance between 30th of June 2012 and 2013, with a favourable impact on the funding needs.
Simultaneously, as a complementary measure to mitigate liquidity risk, the Bank maintains an optimization policy concerning the management of the European Central Bank (ECB) discountable assets. The recent evolution of this portfolio is illustrated by the following graph:
The Group's wholesale funding structure is defined for each annual period by the Liquidity Plan, which is an integral part of the budgeting process, being formulated at consolidated level and for the main subsidiaries of the Group. The setup of this plan is coordinated by the Group Treasurer and its implementation is monitored continuously along the year, being revised whenever necessary.
The table below illustrates the wholesale funding structure, as at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012, in terms of the relative importance of each instrument used:
| Liquidity breakdown | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (Wholesale funding) | |||
| 28 Jun 2013 | 31 Dec 2012 | Weight difference | |
| MM | 4.5% | 2.4% | 2.1% |
| BCE | 51.6% | 51.2% | 0.4% |
| CoCo's | 13.0% | 12.5% | 0.5% |
| Commercial Paper | 6.3% | 6.1% | 0.2% |
| Repos | 0.4% | 0.2% | 0.2% |
| Loan agreements | 3.6% | 4.1% | -0.5% |
| Schuldschein | 0.9% | 1.0% | -0.1% |
| EMTN | 9.2% | 12.1% | -2.9% |
| Equity Swaps | 0.0% | 0.1% | -0.1% |
| Covered bonds | 9.1% | 8.9% | 0.2% |
| Subordinated debt | 1.4% | 1.4% | 0.0% |
| TOTAL | 100.0% | 100.0% | - |
Along the 1st semester of 2013, the relative importance of medium and long term debt securities (EMTN) within the Group's wholesale funding structure continued to follow a decreasing trend from previous years, due to the impossibility of obtaining new financing in that market. On the other hand, the weight of the ECB funding has increased slightly (even if there was a decrease in absolute terms), continuing to be the main funding source.
The control of the Group's liquidity risk, for short term time horizons (up to 3 months) is carried out daily based on two internally defined indicators - the immediate liquidity indicator and the quarterly liquidity indicator - which measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise cumulatively over the respective time horizons, considering the cash flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively. These indicators, on 30th of June 2013, are presented in the following table:
| thousand euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| Immediate liquidity | Quarterly liquidity | |
| Portugal | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Poland | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Greece | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Romania | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Angola | 0.0 | 0.0 |
In all geographies (except for Greece) there was a liquidity positive balance, as shown by these indicators, both in immediate or in a quarterly horizon, reflecting the prudent management of the several Group treasuries towards this risk.
In parallel, the evolution of the Group's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis, by the identification of all the factors underlying the variations that have occurred.
The Group controls its structural liquidity profile through the regular monitoring, by its management structures and bodies, of a set of indicators defined both internally and by regulations, aimed at characterising liquidity risk, such as:
| Reference value | Jun-13 | Dec-13 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accumulated net cash-flows up to 1 year as a % of total accounting liabilities | Not less than (- 6 %) |
5,8% | 9,6% | |
| Liquidity gap as a % of illiquid assets | Not less than (- 20 %) |
3,1% | 2,9% | |
| Loans to Deposits ratio | Not higher | a) | 117,0% | 119,9% |
| than 150 % | b) | 123,2% | 127,8% | |
| Wholesale Funding coverage ratios by Highly Liquid Assets (HLA) | ||||
| Up to 1 month | > 100 % | 505,9% | 878,6% | |
| Up to 3 months | > 85 % | 352,7% | 357,4% | |
| Up to 1 year | > 60 % | 204,5% | 298,8% |
a) Considering Balance-Sheet Structured Products equivalent to deposits
b) As defined by Banco de Portugal's Instruction no. 16/2004, in its current version
The Capital and Liquidity Contingency Plan (PCCL) defines the priorities, responsibilities and specific measures to be undertaken in the event of a situation of a liquidity contingency. This plan is reviewed at least once a year.
The PCCL states, as its objective, the maintenance of a balanced liquidity and capital structure, also establishing the need for the continuous monitoring of market conditions, as well as lines of action and triggers aimed at a timely decision-taking in adverse scenarios, either anticipated or observed.
The PCCL defines a composite indicator (29 variables) of the main parameters identified as advanced indicators of liquidity stress situations that can affect the Group's liquidity situation. This indicator is calculated weekly and its evolution is followed by the Group CALCO, the Group Treasurer and the Group Risk Officer.
This risk stems from the potential devaluation of the assets of BCP's Defined Benefit Pension Fund or from a decrease in its expected returns. Given such a scenario, the Group has to make unplanned contributions in order to maintain the benefits defined by the Fund.
The regular monitoring of this risk and the follow-up of its management lies with the Pension Funds Sub-Commission.
Until last June, the Pension Fund registered a gross return of 0.74%, mainly justified by the positive performance of bonds and real-estate funds.
This type of risk materialises as negative impacts on net income and/or capital, arising from decisions with adverse effects, from the implementation of inadequate management strategies or from the inability to respond effectively to market changes.
The variation of the stock market price of the BCP share is a relevant indicator for the measurement of this type of risk, with its quantification being made under the internal model used to assess the needs of own funds and its allocation to the various business areas (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process – ICAAP).
Under this perspective, the calculation of the economic capital required to cover this type of risk is based on the evolution and price levels of the BCP share, after deduction of the external influence of the stock market which is estimated from a time series of share prices of the largest banks listed at Euronext Lisbon.
The Group's portfolio does not have any exposure either to the US sub-prime/Alt-A mortgage market, namely through Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS"), Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities" (CMBS), Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) or Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDO), or in relation to monoline type insurers.
The Group carries out transactions with derivatives fundamentally to hedge structured products for Customers (guaranteed capital and other products), risks stemming from the Bank's daily business, essentially including hedging interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The trading activity of the Group's own portfolio in derivatives is immaterial insofar as Group profits or risk exposure is concerned.
Over the years, the Group has carried out credit securitisation operations based on loans to individuals – mortgage loans and consumer credit – as well as loans to companies. Credit securitisation is used as a liquidity and capital management tool, aimed at financing the Group's business and, under certain circumstances, releasing capital. The Group has no exposure to Special Purpose Entities (SPE) other than that arising from its own securitisations and normal credit business, as described in the Notes on Accounting Policies and on Customer Loans and Advances of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Furthermore, the accounting policies relative to SPE and securitisations have not been altered over the past 12 months.
The international financial crisis revealed structural imbalances in State expenditure in many jurisdictions of the world, including Greece, Ireland and Portugal. As at 30 June 2013, the Group's net exposure to Portuguese sovereign debt was 6.6 billion Euros, net exposure to Irish sovereign debt was 0.2 billion Euros, net exposure to Italian sovereign debt was 50 million Euros and net exposure to Spanish sovereign debt was 44 million Euros, amongst which 493 million Euros was recorded under the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale, and 9.256 billion Euros under the portfolio of financial assets held to maturity. Further information on exposure to the sovereign debt of countries of the European Union in bailout situations is presented in Note 56 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group's accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in the 1st Half of 2013 Accounts and Notes to the Accounts. Further information on valuation of financial assets and risk management is presented in the Notes on Financial assets held for trading and available for sale; Hedge derivatives; Financial assets held to maturity; Fair value reserves, Other reserves and Retained earnings; Fair value and Risk Management in the Report referred to above.

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. Sociedade Aberta (the ‗Bank') is a public bank, established in Portugal in 1985. It started operations on 5 May, 1986, and these consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the operations of the Bank and all its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‗Group') and the Group's interest in associates, for the six month period ended 30 June, 2013 and 2012.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002, Decree-Law no. 35/2005, of 17 February and Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, the Group's consolidated financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‗IFRS') as endorsed by the European Union ('EU') since the year 2005. IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‗IASB') as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (‗IFRIC') and their predecessor bodies. The consolidated financial statements presented were approved on 27 August 2013 by the Bank's Executive Committee. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June, 2013 were prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the EU and effective on that date and the disclosures in accordance with the requirements set by IAS 34. These financial statements also present a statement of the second quarter of 2013 with comparative figures for the second quarter of last year. The financial statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2013 do not include all the information to be published in the annual financial statements. As referred in note 48, during the first semester of 2013, the Group sold 100% of the investment in Millennium Bank, Societé Anonyme (Greece), and therefore the referred investment ceased to be consolidated in the financials statements of the Group. This fact should be considered for comparative analyses.
The Group has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2013.
The accounting policies in this note were applied consistently to all entities of the Group and are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the previous period, except for the adoption and amendments to the following standards:
IFRS 13 provides a guidance about fair value measurement and replacing guidance that was scattered in several standards. The standard defines fair value as the price for which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would be realized between market participants at the measurement date. The standard has been applied prospectively by the Group, without significant impacts in the measurement of its assets and liabilities.
The amendments to IAS 1 only had impact on the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, which presents now the separation of the items that may be reclassified to the income statement and the items that will not be reclassified to the income statement.
The Group's financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the application of fair value for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and available for sale assets, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are hedged under hedge accounting are stated at fair value in respect of the risk that is being hedged, if applicable. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortised cost or historical cost. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The liability for defined benefit obligations is recognised as the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the value of the fund.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Executive Committee to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The issues involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or for which assumptions and estimates are considered to be significant, are presented in note 1 ad).
As from 1 January, 2010, the Group applied IFRS 3 (revised) for the accounting of business combinations. The changes in the accounting policies resulting from the application of IFRS 3 (revised) are applied prospectively.
The investments in subsidiaries, where the Group holds control, are fully consolidated from the date the Group assumes control over its financial and operational activities, until the control ceases to exist. Control is presumed to exist when the Group owns more than half of the voting rights. Additionally, control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to manage the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefits from its activities, even if the percentage of capital held is less than 50%.
As from 1 January, 2010, accumulated losses are attributed to non-controlling interests in the respective proportion, implying that the Group can recognise negative non-controlling interests. Previously, when the accumulated losses of a subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest exceeded the equity of the subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest, the excess was attributed to the Group and charged to the income statement as it occurs. Profits subsequently reported by the subsidiary are recognised as profits of the Group until the prior losses attributable to non-controlling interest previously recognised by the Group have been recovered.
As from 1 January, 2010, on a step acquisition process resulting in the acquisition of control, the revaluation of any participation previously acquired, is booked against the profit and loss account when goodwill is calculated. On a partial disposal resulting in loss of control over a subsidiary, any participation retained is revalued at market value on the sale date and the gain or loss resulting from this revaluation is booked against the income statement.
Investments in associated companies are consolidated by the equity method from the date that the Group acquires significant influence and the date it ceases to exist. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. It is assumed that the Group has significant influence when it holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights of the investee. If the Group holds, directly or indirectly less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee, it is presumed that the Group does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated.
The existence of significant influence by the Group is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
The consolidated financial statements include the part that is attributable to the Group of the total reserves and results of associated companies accounted on an equity basis. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the carrying amount is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred in a legal obligation to assume those losses on behalf of an associate.
Goodwill arising from business combinations occurred before 1 January 2004 was charged against reserves.
Business combinations that occurred after 1 January 2004 are accounted under the purchase method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the fair value, determined at the acquisition date, of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed including the costs directly attributable to the acquisition, for acquisitions up to 31 December, 2009.
As from 1 January, 2010 onwards, costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a subsidiary are booked directly in the income statement.
As from the transition date to IFRS (1 January 2004), positive goodwill arising from acquisitions is recognised as an asset carried at acquisition cost and is not subject to amortisation.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates is defined as the difference between the cost of acquisition and the total or corresponding share of the fair value of the net assets and contingent liabilities acquired, depending on the option taken.
Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the income statement in the year the business combination occurs.
The recoverable amount of the goodwill in subsidiaries is assessed annually, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher between the assets value in use and the market value deducted of selling costs, calculated using valuation methodologies supported by discounted cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, the time value of money and the business risks.
Until 31 December 2009, the contingent acquisition prices were determined based on the best estimate of probable future payments, being the future changes booked against goodwill. As from 1 January 2010, goodwill is no longer adjusted due to changes in the initial estimate of the contingent purchase price and the difference is booked in the income statement, or in equity, when applicable.
Until 31 December, 2009, when an investment in a subsidiary was disposed of, without a loss in control, the difference between the sale price and the book value of the equity allocated to the proportion of capital to be sold by the Group, plus the carrying value of goodwill in that subsidiary, was recognised in the income statement of the period as a gain or loss resulting from the disposal. The dilution effect occurred when the percentage of investment in a subsidiary decreased without any sale of interest in that subsidiary, for example, when the Group did not participate proportionally in a share capital increase of that subsidiary. Until 31 December, 2009, the Group recognised the gains or losses resulting from a dilution of a subsidiary following a sale or capital increase in the income statement.
Also in an acquisition of non-controlling interests, until 31 December 2009, the difference between the acquisition value and the fair value of the noncontrolling interests acquired was accounted against goodwill. The acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related to investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests were recorded as a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. Any difference between the non-controlling interests acquired and the fair value of the liability was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the liability was determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against goodwill and the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding) was recognised in the income statement. This accounting treatment is maintained for all options contracted until 31 December 2009.
Since 1 January 2010, the acquisition of the non-controlling interests that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary is accounted as a transaction with shareholders and, therefore, is not recognised additional goodwill resulting from this transaction. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of non-controlling interests acquired is recognised directly in reserves. On this basis, the gains and losses resulting from the sale of non-controlling interests, that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary, are always recognised against reserves.
Similarly, as from 1 January 2010, the acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related with investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests, are recorded as a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. The fair value of the liability is determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against the income statement as well as the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding). As from 1 January 2010 onwards, in an acquisition (dilution) of non-controlling interests not resulting in a loss of control, the difference between the fair value of the non-controlling interests acquired and the acquisition value, is accounted against reserves.
The Group fully consolidates SPEs resulting from securitization operations of assets from Group entities (as referred in note 22) and from operations regarding the sale of loans, when the substance of the relation with those entities indicates that the Group exercises control over its activities, independently of the percentage of the equity held. Besides these SPEs resulting from securitization and sale of loans operations, no additional SPEs have been consolidated considering that they do not meet the criteria established on SIC 12 as described below.
The evaluation of the existence of control is determined based on the criteria established by SIC 12, which can be analysed as follows:
The activities of the SPE, in substance, are being conducted on behalf of the Group, in accordance with the specific needs of the Group's business, in order to obtain benefits from these activities;
The Group has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority of the benefits of the activities of the SPE or, by setting up an autopilot mechanism, the Group has delegated these decision-making powers;
The Group has the rights to obtain the majority of the benefits of the SPE and therefore may be exposed to risks inherent to the activities of the SPE;
The Group retains the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or its assets in order to obtain benefits from its activities.
The Group manages assets held by investment funds for which the participation units are held by third parties. The financial statements of these entities are not consolidated by the Group, except when it has the control over these investment funds, namely when it holds more than 50% of the participation units.
When the Group consolidates real estate investment funds, the real estate property resulting from these funds are classified as investment property, as described in note 1 r).
The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries and associates of the Group are prepared in their functional currency, defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate or the currency in which the subsidiaries obtain their income or finance their activity. In the consolidation process, assets and liabilities, including goodwill, of foreign subsidiaries are converted into euros at the official exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The goodwill existing on these investments is valued against reserves.
Regarding the investments in foreign operations that are consolidated under the full consolidation, proportional or equity methods, for exchange differences between the conversion to Euros of the opening net assets at the beginning of the year and their value in Euros at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date for consolidated accounts are charged against consolidated reserves - exchange differences. The exchange differences from hedging instruments related to foreign operations are eliminated from profit and loss in the consolidation process against the exchange differences booked in reserves resulting from those investments. Whenever the hedge is not fully effective, the ineffective portion is accounted against profit and loss of the year.
The income and expenses of these subsidiaries are converted to Euros at an approximate rate of the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences from the conversion to Euros of the profits and losses for the reporting period, arising from the difference between the exchange rate used in the income statement and the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, are recognised in reserves - exchange differences.
On disposal of investments in foreign subsidiaries for which there is loss of control, exchange differences related to the investment in the foreign operation and to the associated hedge transaction previously recognised in reserves, are transferred to profit and loss as part of the gains or loss arising from the disposal.
The balances and transactions between Group's companies, or any unrealised gains and losses arising from these transactions, are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated in the proportion of the Group's investment in the entity.
Loans and advances to customers includes loans and advances originated by the Group which are not intended to be sold in the short term and are recognised when cash is advanced to costumers.
The derecognition of these assets occurs in the following situations: (i) the contractual rights of the Group have expired; or (ii) the Group transferred substantially all the associated risks and rewards.
Loans and advances to customers are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and fees and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, being presented in the balance sheet net of impairment losses.
The Group's policy consists in a regular assessment of the existence of objective evidence of impairment in the loan portfolios. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed, in a subsequent period.
After the initial recognition, a loan or a loan portfolio, defined as a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics, can be classified as impaired when there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events and when these have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan or of the loan portfolio that can be reliably estimated.
According to IAS 39, there are two basic methods of calculating impairment losses: (i) individually assessed loans; and (ii) collective assessment.
Impairment losses on individually assessed loans are determined by an evaluation of the exposures on a case-by-case basis. For each loan considered individually significant, the Group assesses, at each balance sheet date, the existence of any objective evidence of impairment. In determining such impairment losses on individually assessed loans, the following factors are considered:
Impairment losses are calculated by comparing the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the loan, with its current carrying value, being the amount of any loss charged in the income statement. The carrying amount of impaired loans is reduced through the use of an allowance account. For loans with a variable interest rate, the discount rate used corresponds to the effective annual interest rate, which was applicable in the period that the impairment was determined.
Loans that are not identified as having an objective evidence of impairment are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics, and assessed collectively.
Impairment losses are calculated on a collective basis under two different scenarios:
for homogeneous groups of loans that are not considered individually significant; or
losses which have been incurred but have not yet been reported (IBNR) on loans for which no objective evidence of impairment is identified (see last paragraph (i)).
The collective impairment loss is determined considering the following factors:
The methodology and assumptions used to estimate the future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group in order to monitor the differences between estimated and real losses.
Loans for which no evidence of impairment has been identified, are grouped together based on similar credit risk characteristics for calculating a collective impairment loss. This analysis allows the Group's recognition of losses whose identification in terms individual only occur in future periods.
In accordance with "Carta-Circular" no. 15/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there is no realistic expectation, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals, for the part of the loans which is collateralised, is effectively received. This chargeoff is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.
The financial assets and liabilities acquired or issued with the purpose of sale or re-acquisition on the short term, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, or that are part of a financial instruments portfolio and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking or that can be included in the definition of derivative (except in the case of a derivative classified as hedging) are classified as trading. The dividends associated to these portfolios are accounted in gains arising on trading and hedging activities.
The interest from debt instruments is recognised as net interest income.
Trading derivatives with a positive fair value are included in Financial assets held for trading and the trading derivatives with negative fair value are included in Financial liabilities held for trading.
The Group has adopted the Fair Value Option for certain own bond issues, loans and time deposits that contain embedded derivatives or with related hedging derivatives. The variations of the Group's credit risk related to financial liabilities accounted under the Fair Value Option are disclosed in Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities.
The designation of other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss is performed whenever at least one of the requirements is fulfilled:
the assets and liabilities are managed, evaluated and reported internally at its fair value;
the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch of the transactions;
The financial assets and liabilities at Fair Value Option are initially accounted at their fair value, with the expenses or income related to the transactions being recognised in profit and loss and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. The accrual of interest and premium/discount (when applicable) is recognised in Net interest income according to the effective interest rate of each transaction, as well as for accrual of interest of derivatives associated to financial instruments classified as Fair Value Option.
Financial assets available for sale held with the purpose of being maintained by the Group, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, are classified as available for sale, except if they are classified in another category of financial assets. The financial assets available for sale are initially accounted at fair value, including all expenses or income associated with the transactions. The financial assets available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value. The changes in fair value are accounted for against fair value reserves until they are sold or an impairment loss exists. On disposal of the financial assets available for sale, the accumulated gains or losses recognised as fair value reserves are recognised under Net gains / (losses) arising from available for sale financial assets. Interest income from debt instruments is recognised in Net interest income based on the effective interest rate, including a premium or discount when applicable. Dividends are recognised in the income statement when the right to receive the dividends is attributed.
The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, for which the Group has the intention and capacity to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or financial assets available for sale. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The interest is calculated using the effective interest rate method and recognised in Net interest income. The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.
Any reclassification or disposal of financial assets included in this category that does not occur close to the maturity of the assets, will require the Group to reclassify the entire portfolio as Financial assets available for sale and the Group will not be allowed to classify any assets under this category for the following two years.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments, that are not quoted in a market and which the Group does not intend to sell immediately or in a near future, may be classified in this category.
In addition to loans granted, the Group recognises in this category unquoted bonds and commercial paper. The financial assets recognised in this category are initially accounted at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost net of impairment. The incremental direct transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate for these financial instruments. The interest accounted based on the effective interest rate method are recognised in Net interest income.
The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.
The other financial liabilities are all financial liabilities that are not recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. This category includes money market transactions, deposits from customers and from other financial institutions, issued debt, and other transactions.
These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The related transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate. The interest calculated at the effective interest rate is recognised in Net interest income.
The financial gains or losses calculated at the time of repurchase of other financial liabilities are recognised as Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities, when occurred.
At each balance sheet date, an assessment of the existence of objective evidence of impairment, is made. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment resulting from one or more events that occurred after its initial recognition, such as: (i) for listed securities, a prolonged devaluation or a significant decrease in its quoted price, and (ii) for unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reasonably. According to the Group's policies, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
If an available for sale asset is determined to be impaired, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss) is removed from fair value reserves and recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment loss was recognised in the profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. Recovery of impairment losses on equity instruments classified as financial assets available for sale, is recognised as a gain in fair value reserves when it occurs (if there are no reversal in the income statement).
Embedded derivatives should be accounted for separately as derivatives, if the economic risks and benefits of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract, unless the hybrid (combined) instrument is not initially measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss. Embedded derivatives are classified as trading and recognised at fair value with changes through profit and loss.
The Group designates derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk, resulting from financing and investment activities. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Derivative hedging instruments are stated at fair value and gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Group. A hedge relationship exists when:
at the inception of the hedge there is formal documentation of the hedge;
the hedge is expected to be highly effective;
the hedge is valuable in a continuous basis and highly effective throughout the reporting period; and
for hedges of a forecasted transaction, the transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.
When a derivative financial instrument is used to hedge foreign exchange arising from monetary assets or liabilities, no hedge accounting model is applied. Any gain or loss associated to the derivative and to changes in foreign exchange risk related with the monetary items is recognised through profit and loss.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedge instruments are recognised in profit and loss, together with changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risk of the asset or liability or group of assets and liabilities. If the hedge relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gains and losses recognised until the discontinuance of the hedge accounting are amortised through profit and loss over the residual period of the hedged item.
In a hedge relationship, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in equity - cash flow hedge reserves. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognised in profit and loss when occurred.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit and loss in the periods in which the hedged item will affect profit or loss.
In case of hedging variability of cash-flows, when the hedge instrument expires or is disposed or when the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or when the hedge relation is revoked, the hedge relationship is discontinued on a prospective basis. Therefore, the fair value changes of the derivative accumulated in equity until the date of the discontinued hedge accounting can be:
Deferred over the residual period of the hedged instrument; or
Recognised immediately in results, if the hedged instrument is extinguished.
In the case of a discontinued hedge of a forecast transaction, the change in fair value of the derivative recognised in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit and loss.
For a hedge relationship to be classified as such according to IAS 39, effectiveness has to be demonstrated. As such, the Group performs prospective tests at the beginning date of the initial hedge, if applicable and retrospective tests in order to demonstrate at each reporting period the effectiveness of the hedging relationships, showing that the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are hedged by the changes in the hedged item for the risk being covered. Any ineffectiveness is recognised immediately in profit and loss when incurred.
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity related to the investment in a foreign operation and to the associated hedge operation are included in the income
In October 2008, the IASB issued a change to IAS 39 – Reclassification of Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures). This change allowed an entity to transfer financial assets from Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss – trading to Financial assets available for sale, to Loans and Receivables - Loans represented by securities or to Financial assets heldto-maturity, as long as the requirements described in the standard are met, namely:
The Group adopted this possibility for a group of financial assets, as disclosed in note 24.
Transfers of financial assets recognised in the category of Financial assets available-for-sale to Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities and to Financial assets held-to-maturity are allowed, in determined and specific circumstances.
Transfers from and to Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss by decision of the entity (Fair value option) are prohibited.
The Group derecognises financial assets when all rights to future cash flows have expired. In a transfer of assets, derecognition can only occur either when risks and rewards have been substantially transferred or the Group does not maintain control over the assets.
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when these are discharged, cancelled or extinguished.
h) Equity instruments
An instrument is classified as an equity instrument when there is no contractual obligation at settlement to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, independently from its legal form, showing a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Transaction costs directly attributable to an equity instruments' issuance are recognised in equity as a deduction to the amount issued. Amounts paid or received related to sales or acquisitions of equity instruments are recognised in equity, net of transaction costs.
Preference shares issued by the Group are considered as an equity instrument when redemption of the shares is solely at the discretion of the issuer and dividends are paid at the discretion of the Group.
Income from equity instruments (dividends) are recognised when the right to receive this income is established and are deducted to equity.
i) Compound financial instruments
Financial instruments that contain both a liability and an equity component (example: convertible bonds) are classified as compound financial instruments. For those instruments to be considered as compound financial instruments, the terms of its conversion to ordinary shares (number of shares) cannot change with changes in its fair value. The financial liability component corresponds to the present value of the future interest and principal payments, discounted at the market interest rate applicable to similar financial liabilities that do not have a conversion option. The equity component corresponds to the difference between the proceeds of the issue and the amount attributed to the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost through the effective interest rate method. The interests are recognised in Net interest income.
j) Securities borrowing and repurchase agreement transactions
Securities lent under securities lending arrangements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are measured in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. Cash collateral received in respect of securities lent is recognised as a financial liability. Securities borrowed under securities borrowing agreements are not recognised. Cash collateral placements in respect of securities borrowed are recognised under loans and advances to either banks or customers. Income and expenses arising from the securities borrowing and lending business are recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transactions and are included in interest income or expense (net interest income).
The Group performs acquisition/sale of securities under reselling/repurchase agreements of securities substantially equivalent in a future date at a predetermined price ('repos'/'reverse repos'). The securities related to reselling agreements in a future date are not recognised on the balance sheet. The amounts paid are recognised in loans and advances to customers or loans and advances to credit institutions. The receivables are collateralised by the related securities. Securities sold through repurchase agreements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are revaluated in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. The amounts received from the proceeds of these securities are considered as deposits from customers and deposits from credit institutions.
The difference between the acquisition/sale and reselling/repurchase conditions is recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transaction and is included in interest income or expenses.
Non current assets, groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets together and related liabilities that include at least a non current asset) and discontinued operations are classified as held for sale when it is intention to sell the referred assets and liabilities and when the referred assets are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale those non-current assets or groups of assets acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, which are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets or all assets and liabilities in a disposal group, is performed in accordance with the applicable IFRS. After their reclassification, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their cost and fair value less costs to sell.
Discontinued operations and the subsidiaries acquired exclusively with the purpose to sell in the short term, are consolidated until the disposal.
The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale, the investments arising from recovered loans that are measured initially by the lower of its fair value net of selling costs and the loan's carrying amount on the date that the recovery occurs or the judicial decision is formalised.
The fair value is determined based on the expected selling price estimated through periodic valuations performed by the Group.
The subsequent accounting of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value net of expenses. In case of unrealised losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.
At the lessee's perspective, finance lease transactions are recorded as an asset and liability at fair value of the leased asset, which is equivalent to the present value of the future lease payments. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial charge and the amortisation of the capital outstanding. The financial charge is allocated to the periods during the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining liability balance for each period.
At the lessor's perspective, assets held under finance leases are recorded in the balance sheet as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial income and amortization of the capital outstanding. Recognition of the financial result reflects a constant periodical return rate over the remaining net investment of the lessor.
Interest income and expense for financial instruments measured at amortised cost are recognised in the interest income or expenses (net interest income) through the effective interest rate method. The interest related to financial assets available for sale calculated at the effective interest rate method are also recognised in net interest income as well as those from assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate, for a shorter period), to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example: early payment options) but without considering future impairment losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received considered as included in the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts directly related with the transaction, except for assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
If a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised based on the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
Specifically regarding the accounting policy for interest on overdue loans' portfolio are considered the following aspects:
Interest income for overdue loans with collaterals are accounted for as income, up to the limit of the valuation of the collateral valued on a prudent basis, in accordance with IAS 18, assuming that there is a reasonable probability of recoverability; and
The interests accrued and not paid for overdue loans for more than 90 days that are not covered by collaterals are written-off and are recognised only when they are received, in accordance with IAS 18, on the basis that its recoverability is considered to be remote.
For derivative financial instruments, except those classified as hedging instruments of interest rate risk, the interest component is not separated from the changes in the fair value and is classified under Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities. For hedging derivatives of interest rate risk and those related to financial assets or financial liabilities recognised in the Fair Value Option category, the interest component of the changes in their fair value is recognised under interest income or expense (Net interest income).
Fees and commissions are recognised according to the following criteria:
Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, are recognised in net interest income.
Financial net gains / losses includes gains and losses arising from financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, that is, fair value changes and interest on trading derivatives and embedded derivatives), as well as the corresponding dividends received. This caption also includes the impairment losses and gains and losses arising from the sale of available for sale financial assets and financial assets held to maturity. The changes in fair value of hedging derivatives and hedged items, when fair value hedge is applicable, are also recognised in this caption.
Assets held in the scope of fiduciary activities are not recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Fees and commissions arising from this activity are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur.
Property and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits will result for the Group. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The Group performs impairment tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the book value exceeds the highest between the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell, being the difference charged to the profit and loss.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the following periods which correspond to their estimated useful life:
| Number of years | |
|---|---|
| Premises | 50 |
| Expenditure on freehold and leasehold buildings | 10 |
| Equipment | 4 to 12 |
| Other fixed assets | 3 |
Whenever there is an indication that a fixed tangible asset might be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss shall be recognised if the net value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is determined as the highest between the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use calculated based on the present value of future cash-flows estimated to be obtained from the continued use of the asset and its sale at the end of the useful life.
The impairment losses of the fixed tangible assets are recognised in profit and loss.
r) Investment property
Real estate properties owned by the investment funds consolidated in the Group, are recognised as Investment properties considering, that the main objective of these buildings is the capital appreciation on a long term basis and not its sale in a short term period, or its maintenance for own use.
These investments are initially recognised at its acquisition cost, including the transaction costs and subsequently revaluated at its fair value. The fair value of the investment property should reflect the market conditions at the balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognised in results as Other operating income.
The expertises responsible for the valuation of the assets are properly certified for that purpose, being registered in CMVM.
The Group does not capitalise any research and development costs. All expenses are recognised as costs in the year in which they occur.
Software
The Group accounts as intangible assets the costs associated to software acquired from external entities and depreciates them on a straight line basis by an estimated lifetime of three years. The Group does not capitalise internal costs arising from software development.
t) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months' maturity from the balance sheet date, including cash and loans and advances to credit institutions.
Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted balances with Central Banks.
u) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined against profit and loss, except for financial assets available-for-sale, for which the difference is recognised against equity.
The Group has the responsibility to pay to their employees retirement pensions and widow and orphan benefits and permanent disability pensions, in accordance with the agreement entered with the collective labour arrangements. These benefits are estimated in the pensions plans ‗Plano ACT' and ‗Plano ACTQ' of the Pension Plan of BCP Group, which corresponds to the referred collective labour arrangements (the conditions are estimated in the private social security of the banking sector for the constitution of the right to receive a pension).
Until 2011, along with the benefits provided in two planes above, the Group had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan). The Group at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP ( Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made, having been assigned to the employees, individual rights acquired. On that date, the Group also proceed to the settlement of the related liability.
From 1 January 2011, banks' employees were integrated in the General Social Security Scheme which now covers their maternity, paternity, adoption and pension benefits. However, the Banks remain liable for those benefits as concern illness, disability and life insurance (Decree-Law no. 1-A/2011, of 3 January).
The contributory rate is 26.6% divided between 23.6% supported by the employer and 3% supported by the employees, replacing the Banking Social Healthcare System (‗Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários') which was extinguished by the decree law referred above. As a consequence of this amendment the capability to receive pensions by the actual employees are covered by the General Social Security Scheme regime, considering the service period between 1 January 2011 and the retirement age. The Bank supports the remaining difference for the total pension assured in ‗Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho'.
Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, which was published on 31 December, was established an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions in order to transfer, to the Social Security, the liabilities related with pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, as at 31 December 2011.
This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred related to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the ‗Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continued to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also established the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.
The Group's net obligation in respect of pension plans (defined benefit pensions plan) is calculated on a half year basis at 31 December and 30 June of each year.
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted in order to determine its present value, using a discount rate determined by reference to interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations. The net obligations are determined after the deduction of the fair value of the Pension Plan's assets.
The income / cost of interests with the pension plan is calculated, by the Group, multiplying the net asset / liability with retirement pension (liabilities less the fair value of the plan's assets) by the discount rate used in the determination of the retirement pension liabilities, mentioned before. On this basis, the income / cost net of interests includes the interest costs associated with retirement pension liabilities and the expected return of the plan's assets, both measured based on the discount rate used to calculate the liabilities.
Gains and losses from the remeasurement, namely (i) gains and losses resulting from differences between actuarial assumptions used and the amounts actually observed (experience gains and losses) and changes in actuarial assumptions and (ii) gains and losses arising from the difference between the expected return of the plan's assets and the amounts obtained, are recognised against equity under other comprehensive income.
The Group recognises in its income statement a net total amount that comprises (i) the current service cost, (ii) the income / cost net of interest with the pension plan, (iii) the effect of early retirement, (iv ) past service costs and (v) the effects of any settlement or curtailment occurred during the period. The net income / cost with the pension plan is recognised as interest and similar income or interest expense and similar costs depending on their nature. The costs of early retirements corresponds to the increase in liabilities due to the employee's retirement before reaching the age of 65.
Employee benefits, other than pension plans, namely post retirement health care benefits and benefits for the spouse and sons for death before retirement are also included in the benefit plan calculation.
Costs arising from early retirements are recognised in the income statement on the year in which the early retirement is approved and announced.
Gains and losses for the year are recognised against reserves in the year they occur.
The contributions to the funds are made annually by each Group company according to a certain plan contributions to ensure the solvency of the fund. The minimum level required for the funding is 100% regarding the pension payments and 95% regarding the past services of active employees.
For Defined Contribution Plan, the responsibilities related to the benefits attributed to the Group's employees are recognised as expenses when incurred.
As at 30 June 2013, the Group has two defined contribution plans. One plan that covers employees who were hired before July 1, 2009. For this plan, called non-contributory, Group's contributions will be made annually and equal to 1% of the annual remuneration paid to employees in the previous year. Contributions shall only be made if the following requirements are met: (i) the Bank's ROE equals or exceeds the rate of government bonds of 10 years plus 5 percentage points, and (ii) exist distributable profits or reserves in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.
The other plan covers employees who have been hired after July 1, 2009. For this plan, designated contributory, monthly contributions will be made equal to 1.5% of the monthly remuneration received by employees in the current month, either by themselves or by the Group and employees.
As at 30 June 2013 there are no share based compensation plans in force.
The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees.
This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year to which it relates.
The Group is subject to the regime established by the Income Tax Code ("CIRC"). Additionally, deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences between the accounting net income and the net income accepted by the Tax Authorities for Income Taxes calculation, are accounted for, whenever there is a reasonable probability that those taxes will be paid or recovered in the future.
Income tax registered in net income for the year comprises current and deferred tax effects. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except when related to items recognised directly in equity, which implies its recognition in equity. Deferred taxes arising from the revaluation of financial assets available for sale and cash flow hedging derivatives are recognised in shareholders' equity and are recognised after in the income statement at the moment the profit and loss that originated the deferred taxes are recognised.
Current tax is the value that determines the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred taxes are calculated in accordance with the liability method based on the balance sheet, considering temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation purposes using the tax rates approved or substantially approved at balance sheet date and that is expected to be applied when the temporary difference is reversed.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, differences arising on initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that probably they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxes assets are recognised to the extent when it is probable that future taxable profits, will be available to absorb deductible temporary differences for taxation purposes (including reportable taxable losses).
The Group, as established in IAS 12, paragraph 74, compensates the deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if: (i) has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating segments. A business segment is a group of assets and operations that are subject to risks and returns different from other business segments. The results of the operating segments are periodically reviewed by the management with the aim of taking decisions. The Group prepares regular financial information concerning these segments, which is reported to Management. A geographical segment is a group of assets and operations located within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. The Group controls its activity through the following major operating segments:
Portugal
Following the completion of the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, on 19 June 2013, as duly announced on general conditions and in accordance with IFRS 5, the Millennium bank in Greece was classified as a discontinued operation, with the impact on results presented on a separate line named as income arising from discontinued operations. The income statement with reference to 30 June, 2012 was restated for comparative purposes. In terms of the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece are no longer disclosed with reference to 30 June 2013.
The aggregate Others includes the activity not allocated to the segments mentioned above, namely the developed by subsidiaries in Romania, Switzerland and Cayman Islands.
Provisions are recognised when (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or resulting from past practices or published policies that imply the recognition of certain responsibilities), (ii) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
On the cases that the discount effect is material, provision corresponds to the actual value of the expected future payments, discounted by a rate that considers the associated risk of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate, being reverted through profit and loss in the proportion of the payments that are probable.
The provisions are derecognised through their use for the obligations for which they were initially accounted or for the cases that the situations were not already observed.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury stock.
For the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted to consider conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible debt and stock options granted to employees. Potential or contingent share issues are treated as dilutive when their conversion to shares would decrease net earnings per share.
If the earnings per share are changed as a result of an issue with premium or discount or other event that changed the potential number of ordinary shares or as a result of changes in the accounting policies, the earnings per share for all presented periods should be adjusted retrospectively.
The Group issues contracts that contain insurance risk, financial risk or a combination of both insurance and financial risk. A contract, under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from another party, by agreeing to compensate that party on the occurrence of a specified uncertain future event, is classified as an insurance contract.
A contract issued by the Group without significant insurance risk, but on which financial risk is transferred with discretionary participating features is classified as an investment contract recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to insurance contracts. A contract issued by the Group that transfers only financial risk, without discretionary participating features, is classified as an investment contract and accounted for as a financial instrument.
Premiums of life insurance and investment contracts with discretionary participating features, which are considered as long-term contracts are recognised when due from the policyholders. The benefits and other costs are recognised concurrently with the recognition of income over the life of the contracts. This specialization is achieved through the establishment of provisions / liabilities of insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features.
The responsibilities correspond to the present value of future benefits payable, net of administrative expenses directly associated with the contracts, less the theoretical premiums that would be required to comply with the established benefits and related expenses. The liabilities are determined based on assumptions of mortality, costs of management or investment at the valuation date.
For contracts where the payment period is significantly shorter than the period of benefit, premiums are deferred and recognised as income in proportion to the duration of risk coverage.
Regarding short-term contracts, including contracts of non-life insurance, premiums are recorded at the time of issue. The award is recognised as income acquired in a pro-rata basis during the term of the contract. The provision for unearned premiums represents the amount of premiums on risks not occurred.
Gross premiums written are recognised for as income in the period to which they respect independently from the moment of payment or receivable, in accordance with the accrual accounting principle.
Reinsurance premiums ceded are accounted for as expense in the year to which they respect in the same way as gross premiums written.
Provision for unearned premiums from direct insurance and reinsurance premiums ceded
The provision for unearned gross premiums is based on the evaluation of the premiums written before the end of the year but for which the risk period continues after the year end. This provision is calculated using the pro-rata temporis method applied to each contract in force.
At each reporting date, the Group evaluates the adequacy of liabilities arising from insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features. The evaluation of the adequacy of responsibilities is made based on the projection of future cash flows associated with each contract, discounted at market interest rate without risk. This evaluation is done product by product or aggregate of products when the risks are similar or managed jointly. Any deficiency, if exists, is recorded in the Group's results as determined.
The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Insurance Institute of Portugal to practice the activity of insurance mediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law n. º 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and non-life.
Within the insurance mediation services, the banks perform the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance mediation, the Banks receive commissions for arranging contracts of insurance and investment contracts, which are defined in the agreements / protocols established between the Banks and the Insurance Companies.
Commissions received by insurance mediation are recognised in accordance with the principle of accrual, so the commissions which payment occurs at different time period to which it relates, are subject to registration as an amount receivable under Other Assets.
IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments that require the Executive Committee and management to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The most significant of these accounting policies are discussed in this section in order to improve understanding of how their application affects the Group's reported results and related disclosure.
Considering that in some cases there are several alternatives to the accounting treatment chosen by the Executive Committee, the Group's reported results would differ if a different treatment was chosen. Executive Committee believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present the Group's financial position and results fairly in all material aspects.
The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statements and are not intended to suggest that other alternatives or estimates would be more appropriate.
The Group determines that financial assets available for-sale are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value below its acquisition cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates among other factors, the volatility in the prices of the financial assets. According to the Group's policies, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
In addition, valuations are generally obtained through market quotation or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Group.
The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment losses on a regularly basis, as described in note 1 c).
The evaluation process in determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The probability of default, risk ratings, value of associated collaterals recovery rates and the estimation of both the amount and timing of future cash flows, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a different level of impairment losses with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Group.
Fair values are based on listed market prices if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer price quotations (both for that transaction or for similar instruments traded) or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future cash flows which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curve and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating their values.
Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model could result in different financial results for a particular period.
The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-tomaturity. This classification requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity.
If the Group fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances — for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity — it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value instead of amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are subject to impairment tests made by the Group. The use of different assumptions and estimates could have an impact on the income statement of the Group.
The Group sponsors the formation of SPEs primarily for asset securitization transactions for liquidity purposes and/or capital management.
The Group does not consolidate SPEs that it does not control. As it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether the Group does control an SPE, it makes judgments about its exposure to the risks and rewards, as well as about its ability to make operational decisions for the SPE in question.
The determination of the SPEs that needs to be consolidated by the Group requires the use of estimates and assumptions in determining the respective expected residual gains and losses and which party retains the majority of such residual gains and losses. Different estimates and assumptions could lead the Group to a different scope of consolidation with a direct impact in net income.
In the scope of the application of this accounting policy and in accordance with note 23, the following SPEs resulting from securitization transactions were included in the consolidation perimeter: NovaFinance n.4, Magellan n.2 and 3, Orchis Sp zo.o, Caravela SME n.2 and Tagus Leasing n.1. The Group did not consolidate the following SPEs also resulting from securitization transactions: Magellan n.1 and n.4. For these SPEs, which are not recognised in the balance sheet, the Group concluded that the main risks and the benefits were transferred, as the Group does not hold any security issued by the SPE, which are exposed to the majority of the residual risks, neither is exposed to the performance of the credit portfolios.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the worldwide amount for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the year.
The Portuguese Tax Authorities are entitled to review the Bank and its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a period of four years or six years in case there are tax losses brought forward. Hence, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law which for its probability, the Executive Committee considers that there is no relevant material effect at the level of the Financial Statements.
Determining pension liabilities requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the use of actuarial projections, estimated returns on investment, and other factors that could impact the cost and liability of the pension plan.
Changes in these assumptions could materially affect these values.
The goodwill recoverable amount recognised as a Group's asset, is revised annually regardless the existence of impairment losses.
For this purpose, the carrying amount of the business units of the Group for which goodwill has been recognised is compared with the respective recoverable amount. A goodwill impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the business unit exceeds the respective recoverable amount.
In the absence of an available market value, the recoverable amount is determined using cash flows predictions, applying a discount rate that includes a risk premium appropriated to the business unit being tested. Determining the cash flows to discount and the discount rate, involves judgment.
IFRS requires separate disclosure of net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity, as presented in notes 3, 6, 7 and 8. A particular business activity can generate impact in net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity. This disclosure requirement demonstrates the contribution of the different business activities for the net interest margin and net gains from trading and hedging, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity

The Group recognises impairment for financial assets available for sale when there is a significant or prolonged decrease in its fair value or when there is an impact on expected future cash flows of the assets. This assessment involves judgement in which the Group takes into consideration among other factors, the volatility of the prices of securities.
Thus, as a consequence of the low liquidity and significant volatility in financial markets, the following factors were taken into consideration in determining the existence of impairment:
Equity instruments: (i) decreases of more than 30% against the purchase price; or (ii) the market value below the purchase price for a period exceeding 12 months;
Debt instruments: when there is objective evidence of events with impact on recoverable value of future cash flows of these assets.

Hedging derivatives are measured in accordance with internal valuation techniques considering mainly observable market inputs. In accordance with the hierarchy of the valuation sources, as referred in IFRS 7 these derivatives are classified in level 2.
The Group applies derivatives to hedge interest and exchange rate exposure risks. The accounting method depends on the nature of the hedged risk, namely if the Group is exposed to fair value changes, variability in cash-flows or highly probable forecast transactions.
The Group adopts, for the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, the hedge accounting method mainly interest rate and exchange rate derivatives. The fair value hedge model is adopted for debt securities, loans granted with fixed rate loans and deposits and money market loans. The cash flows hedge model is adopted for future transactions in foreign currency to cover dynamic changes in cash flows from loans granted and variable rate deposits in foreign currency and foreign currency mortgage loans.
The relationships that follow the fair value hedge model recorded ineffectiveness for the year of a negative amount of Euros 6,239,000 (31 December 2012: negative amount of Euros 29,457,000) and the hedging relationships that follow the cash flows model recorded ineffectiveness for the period of a negative amount of Euros 1,088,000 (31 December 2012: negative amount of Euros 14,623,000).

| Balance on 1 January | - | 532,665 |
| Impairment for the period | - | 119 |
| Securities charged-off | - | (532,784) |
| Balance on 30 June | - | - |
As at 1 January 2012, the balance of Impairment for securities corresponded to the impairment recognised on Greek sovereign debt, considering the evolution of the European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece, which contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implied that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.
Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector ('PSI'), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt (‗GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.
Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, as at 1 January 2012, the fair value corresponded to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. Following of the reestructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the first half of 2012, the impairment was charged off. The exchange offer occurred in 12 March 2012.
The PSI is part of an European Union Euros 130,000,000,000 bailout package for Greece.
After the exchange, the Group sold almost all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt arising from the PSI.

According to the accounting policy described in note 1 b), the recoverable amount of the Goodwill is annually assessed, regardless of the existence of impairment triggers or, in accordance with the paragraph 9 of the IAS 36, every time there are indicators that the asset might be impaired.
In accordance with IAS 36 the recoverable amount of goodwill should be the greater between its value in use (the present value of the future cash flows expected from its use) and its fair value less costs to sell. Based on this criteria, the Group made in 2012, valuations of their investments for which there is goodwill recognised considering among other factors:
(i) an estimate of future cash flows generated by each entity;
(ii) an expectation of potential changes in the amounts and timing of cash flows;
(iii) the time value of money;
(iv) a risk premium associated with the uncertainty by holding the asset; and
(v) other factors associated with the current situation of financial markets.
The valuations are based on reasonable and sustainable assumptions representing the best estimate of the Executive Committee on the economic conditions that affect each subsidiary, the budgets and the latest projections approved for those subsidiaries and their extrapolation to future periods.
The assumptions made for these valuations might vary with the change in economic conditions and in the market.

The guarantees granted by the Group may be related with loan transactions, where the Group grants a guarantee in connection with a loan granted to a client by a third entity. According with its specific characteristics it is expected that some of these guarantees expire without being executed and therefore these transactions do not necessarily represent a cash-outflow.
Stand-by letters and open documentary credits aim to ensure the payment to third parties from commercial deals with foreign entities and therefore financing the shipment of the goods. Therefore the credit risk of these transactions is limited once they are collateralised by the shipped goods and are generally short term operations.
Irrevocable commitments are non-used parts of credit facilities granted to corporate or retail customers. Many of these transactions have a fixed term and a variable interest rate and therefore the credit and interest rate risk is limited.
The financial instruments accounted as Guarantees and other commitments are subject to the same approval and control procedures applied to the credit portfolio, namely regarding the analysis of objective evidence of impairment, as described in note 1 c). The maximum credit exposure is represented by the nominal value that could be lost related to guarantees and commitments undertaken by the Group in the event of default by the respective counterparties, without considering potential recoveries or collaterals.
Considering their nature, as described above, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.
Banco Comercial Português informs about the conclusion of the sale of Millennium Bank in Greece

Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, as occurs regarding many products sold to clients, fair value is estimated through internal models based on cash-flow discounting techniques. Cash-flows for the different instruments sold are calculated according with its financial characteristics and the discount rates used include both the interest rate curve and the current conditions of the pricing policy in the Group.
Thus, the fair value obtained is influenced by the parameters used in the evaluation model that have some degree of judgement and reflects exclusively the value attributed to different financial instruments. However it does not consider prospective factors, as the future business evolution. Therefore the values presented cannot be understood as an estimate of the economic value of the Group.
The main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value for the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are presented as follows:
Cash and deposits at Central Banks, Loans and advances to credit institutions repayable on demand
Considering the short term of these financial instruments, the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Loans and advances to credit institutions, Deposits from credit institutions and Assets with repurchase agreements
The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the instalments occur in the contractually defined dates.
For Deposits from Central Banks it was considered that the book value is a reasonable estimate of its fair value, given the nature of operations and the associated short-term. The rate of return of funding with the European Central Bank is 0.50% as at 30 June 2013 (31 December 2012: 0.75%).
Regarding loans and advances to credit institutions and deposits from credit institutions, the discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group on identical instruments for each of the different residual maturities. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the period). As at 30 June 2013, the average discount rate was 2.80% for loans and advances and 3.01% for deposits. As at 31 December 2012 the rates were 3.87% and 3.13%, respectively.
Financial assets held for trading (except derivatives), Financial liabilities held for trading (except derivatives), Financial assets available for sale and Other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
These financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.
Market interest rates are determined based on information released by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically as a result of prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from similar sources but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.
When optionality is involved, the standard templates (Black-Scholes, Black, Ho and others) are used considering the volatility areas applicable. Whenever there are no references in the market of sufficient quality or that the available models do not fully apply to meet the characteristics of the financial instrument, specific quotations supplied by an external entity are applied, typically a counterparty of the business.
These financial instruments are accounted at amortised cost net of impairment. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value.
In case of derivative contracts that are quoted in organised markets their market prices are used. As for derivatives traded "Over-the-counter", it is applied methods based on numerical cash-flow discounting techniques and models for assessment of options considering variables of the market, particularly the interest rates on the instruments in question, and where necessary, their volatilities.
Interest rates are determined based on information disseminated by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically those resulting from prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from a similar source but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.
The fair value of these instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the instalments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group in similar instruments for each of the homogeneous classes of this type of instrument and with similar residual maturity. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the period) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of 2012. The average discount rate was 5.59% as at 30 June 2013 and 4.92% as at 31 December 2011, assuming the projection of the variable rates according to the evolution of the forward rates implicit in the interest rate curves. The calculations also include the credit risk spread.
Loans and advances to customers and deposits repayable on demand without defined maturity date
Considering the short maturity of these financial instruments, the conditions of the portfolio are similar to conditions used at the date of the report. Therefore the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for the referred instruments, considering that payments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group in similar instruments with a similar maturity. The discount rate used reflects the actual rates of the Group to this type of funds and with similar residual maturity date. The discount rate includes the market rates of the residual maturity date (rates of monetary market or the interest rate swap market, at the end of the period) and the spread of the Group at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of 2012. As at 30 June 2013, the average discount rate was 2.69% and as at 31 December 2012 was 3.43%.
For these financial instruments the fair value was calculated for components for which fair value is not yet reflected in the balance sheet. Fixed rate instruments for which the Group adopts "hedge-accounting", the fair value related to the interest rate risk is already recognised.
For the fair value calculation, other components of risk were considered, in addition to the interest rate risk already recorded. The fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted by associated factors, predominantly credit risk and trading margin, the latter only in the case of issues placed on non-institutional customers of the Group.
As original reference, the Group applies the curves resulting from the market interest rate swaps for each specific currency. The credit risk (credit spread) is represented by an excess from the curve of interest rate swaps established specifically for each term and class of instruments based on the market prices on equivalent instruments.
For own debts placed among non institutional costumers of the Group, one more differential was added (commercial spread), which represents the margin between the financing cost in the institutional market and the cost obtained by distributing the respective instrument in the owned commercial network.
The average reference yield curve obtained from market prices in EUR and used in the calculation of the fair value of own securities was 8.96% (31 December, 2012: 9.71%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 8.30% (31 December, 2012: 12.21%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 4.33% (31 December 2012: 5.38%) and 3.85% (31 December, 2012: 4.25%) for senior and collateralised securities placed on the retail market.
For debt securities, the fair value calculation focused on all the components of these instruments, as a result the difference determined as at 30 June 2013 is a negative amount of Euros 116,890,000 (31 December 2012: a negative amount of Euros 250,147,000), and includes a receivable amount of Euros 1,734,000 (31 December 2012: a receivable amount of Euros 2,375,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.
As at 30 June 2013, the following table presents the interest rates used in the definition of the interest rate curves of main currencies, namely EUR, USD, GBP and PLN used to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Group:

The Group assumed the liability to pay to their employees pensions on retirement or disability and other obligations. These liabilities comply with the terms of the 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho do Grupo BCP'. The Group's pension obligations and other liabilities are mainly covered through the Banco Comercial Português Pension Fund managed by PensõesGere - Sociedade Gestora de Fundo de Pensões, S.A.
Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no.127/2011, which was published on 31 December, an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions was established that regulated the transfer of the liabilities related with pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, to the Social Security.
This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred relate to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the ‗Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continue to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also establishes the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.
As referred in note 1w), in addition to the benefits provided for in collective agreements, the Group had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan).
The Group at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age of the Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP (Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change in the benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made and the individual rights acquired were specifically assigned to the employees. On that date, the Group also performed to the settlement of the related liability, in the amount of Euros 233,457,000.
For accounting purposes and in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, as at 31 December, 2012, there was no impact of the change of plan considering that: (i) the present value of the liabilities had no changes, and (ii) despite the Bank has carried a settlement of the plan, the actuarial deviations associated with these liabilities had already been recognised in reserves in 2011 following the change in accounting policy. Following the changes made, the Bank has no longer any financial or actuarial risk associated with liquidated liabilities.
As at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012 the number of participants in the Pension Fund of Banco Comercial Português covered by this pension plan and other benefits is analysed as follows:

The balance Impact resulting from the change of the calculation of the Death subsidy (Decree-Law n. º 13/2013) corresponds as at 30 June, 2013, to the amount of Euros 7,453,000 arising from the change in the calculation method of the death subsidy following the publication on 17 January 2013, of the Decree-Law No. 13/2013 which amends the determination of the amount of that benefit. In 2012 the amount of Euros 63,951,000 was also recognised as a result of the impact of Decree-Law No. 133/2012.
In accordance with IAS 19, it is a negative past service cost which occurs when there are changes on the benefit plan, which impact in a reduction of the current value of the responsibilities for past services. On that basis, the gain should be deferred and amortized throughout the average of the vesting period. Considering that the acquisition conditions of the benefit are fulfilled (vested), since the employee or pensioner has the right to the benefit without having to fulfil any service condition, the Group accounted the referred impact in results for the year.
As at 30 June 2013 the value of the benefits paid by the Pension Fund, excluding other benefits included on Extra-fund, amounted to Euros 25,493,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 42,596,000). As at 29 June 2012, it was made the final transfer of the retired employees and pensioners to the GSSS, in accordance with the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, which had an increase of Euros 7,143,000 due to the change in the population.
The liabilities with health benefits are fully covered by the Pension Fund and correspond, at the end of the first semester of 2013, to the amount of Euros 264,805,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 264,163,000).
Regarding the coverage of some benefit obligations related to pensions, the Bank contracted with Ocidental Vida the acquisition of perpetual annuities for which the total liability as at 30 June 2013 amounts to Euros 82,427,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 86,231,000), in order to pay:
i) pensions of former Group's Board Members in accordance with the Bank's Board Members Retirement Regulation.
ii) pensions and complementary pension to pensioners in accordance with the Pension Fund of the BCP Group employees established in 28 December 1987, as also to pensioners, in accordance with other Pension Funds, that were incorporated after on the BCP Group Pension Fund and which were planed that the retirement benefits should be paid through the acquisition of insurance policies, in accordance with the Decree - Law no. 12/2006. As at 30 June 2013 the number of beneficiaries was 69.
Ocidental Vida is 100% owned by Ageas Group and Ageas Group is 49% owned by the Group.

As referred in the accounting policy 1w) and due to the change of IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, the interest cost / income became to be recognised by its net amount in interest and similar (income or costs).
As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common on the insurance market the acquisition of perpetual annuities including the increase in pensions, the Bank determined, the liability to be recognised on the financial statements taking into consideration current actuarial assumptions.
In accordance with the remuneration policy of the Board Members, the Group has the responsibility of supporting the cost with the retirement pensions of former Group's Executive Board Members, as well as the Complementary Plan for these members in accordance with the applicable rules, funded through the Pension Fund, Extra-fund and perpetual annuities.
To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Group recognised a provision of Euros 4,413,000 (31 December 2012: Euros 4,413,000). During the first semester of 2013 there was no change in this provision.
Following the agreements established between the Bank and former members of the Executive Board of Directors the amount of Euros 1,790,000 related with amounts paid to set up a perpetual annuity policy to cover the responsibility with retirement pensions of former members of the Executive Board of Directors, were reimbursed by Ocidental Vida.
The movement of the amounts of the responsibilities with retirement pensions payable to former members of the Executive Board of Directors, included in the balance Other liabilities (note 41), is analysed as follows:
| Jun 2013 | Dec 2012 | |

| Write-back | - | (1,091) |
| Balance at the end of the period | 4,413 | 4,413 |
Considering the market indicators, particularly the estimations of the inflation rate and the long term interest rate for Euro Zone as well as the demographic characteristics of the employees, the Group considered the following actuarial assumptions for the calculation of the liabilities with pension obligations with reference to 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012:
| Jun 2013 | Dec 2012 | |
|---|---|---|
| 1% until 2016 | 1% until 2016 | |
| Increase in future compensation levels | 1.75% after 2017 | 1.75% after 2017 |
| 0% until 2016 | 0% until 2016 | |
| Rate of pensions increase | 0.75% after 2017 | 0.75% after 2017 |
| Projected rate of return of fund assets | 4.50% | 4.50% |
| Discount rate | 4.50% | 4.50% |
| Mortality tables | ||
| Men | TV 73/77 - 1 year | TV 73/77 - 1 year |
| Women | TV 88/90 - 2 years | TV 88/90 - 2 years |
| Disability rate | 0.00% | 0.00% |
| Turnover rate | 0.00% | 0.00% |
| Costs with health benefits increase rate | 6.50% | 6.50% |
The mortality tables consider an age inferior to the effective age of the beneficiaries, one year for men and two years for women, which is translated in higher average life expectancy.
The assumptions used on the calculation of the employees benefits are in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19. No disability decreases are considered in the calculation of the liabilities.
The determination of the discount rate as at 30 June 2013, took into account (i) the evolution in the major indexes in relation to high quality corporate bonds and (ii) duration of benefit plan liabilities.
The Group face to (i) the positive deviations observed in the last financial year and (ii) the current trend of wages evolution and the economic situation at this time, led to a growth rate of wages progressive of 1% by 2016 and 1.75% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2016 and 0.75% from 2017.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2013, the rate of return on plan assets considered in the calculation of the present value of the liabilities, corresponds to the discount rate.
However, the estimated expected return for 2013, based on the portfolio as at 30 June 2013, is as follows:
| 2013 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asset class | Portfolio % | Estimated return | ||||
| Shares | 25.98% | 4.30% | ||||
| Bonds and other fixed income securities | 26.20% | 3.50% | ||||
| Participations units in investment funds | 11.16% | 5.04% | ||||

| Properties | 14.72% | 6.55% | ||||
| Loans and advances to credit institutions and others | 9.96% | 3.50% | ||||
| Total income expected | 3.98% |
Net actuarial losses amounts to Euros 44,660,000 (31 December 2012: actuarial losses of Euros 164,191,000) and are related to the difference between the actuarial assumptions used for the estimation of the pension liabilities and the actual liabilities and are analysed as follows:

The remuneration for insurance mediation services were received through bank transfers and resulted from insurance intermediation with the subsidiaries of Millenniumbcp Ageas Group (Ocidental Vida e Ocidental Seguros).
The Bank does not collect insurance premiums on behalf of Insurance Companies, or performs any movement of funds related to insurance contracts. Thus, there is no other asset, liability, income or expense to be reported on the activity of insurance mediation exercised by the Bank, other than those already disclosed.
As at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012, the receivable balances from insurance mediation activity by nature and entity are analysed as follows:

The commissions received by the Bank result from the insurance mediation contracts and investment contracts, under the terms established in the contracts. The mediation commissions are calculated given the nature of the contracts subject to mediation, as follows:
insurance contracts – use of fixed rates on gross premiums issued;
investment contracts – use of fixed rates on the responsibilities assumed by the insurance company under the commercialization of these products.
The segments presented, concerning business and geographic segments, are in accordance with IFRS 8. In accordance with the Group's management model, the primary segment corresponds to segments used for Executive Committee's management purposes. The Group offers a wide range of banking activities and financial services in Portugal and abroad, with a special focus on Commercial Banking, Corporate and Investment Banking and Asset Management and Private Banking.
The Retail Banking activity includes the Retail activity of Banco Comercial Português in Portugal, operating as a distribution channel for products and services from other companies of the Group, and the Foreign business segment, operating through several banking operations in markets with affinity to Portugal and in countries with higher growth potential.
The Retail segment in Portugal includes: (i) the Retail network in Portugal, where the strategic approach is to target ―Mass Market‖ customers, who appreciate a value proposition based on innovation and speed, as well as Prestige and Small Business customers, whose specific characteristics, financial assets or income imply a value proposition based on innovation and personalisation, requiring a dedicated Account Manager; and (ii) ActivoBank, a bank focused on clients who are young in spirit, intensive users of new communication technologies and who prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering modern products and services.
The Companies Banking business includes the Companies segment in Portugal, which operates as a distribution channel of products and services from other companies of the Group, and the Corporate & Investment Banking segment.
The Companies in Portugal segment includes: (i) the Companies network, that covers the financial needs of companies with an annual turnover between Euros 2.5 million and Euros 50 million, and focuses on innovation, offering a wide range of traditional banking products complemented by specialised financing; and (ii) the activity of the Real Estate Business Division.
The Corporate & Investment Banking segment includes: (i) the Corporate network in Portugal, targeting corporate and institutional customers with an annual turnover in excess of Euros 50 million, providing a complete range of value-added products and services; (ii) the Investment Banking unit, which specialises in capital markets, providing strategic and financial advisory, specialised financial services – Project finance, Corporate finance, Securities brokerage and Equity research - as well as structuring risk-hedging derivatives products; and (iii) the activity of the Bank's International Division.
The Asset Management and Private Banking segment, for purposes of the geographical segments, comprises the Private Banking network in Portugal and subsidiary companies specialised in the asset management business in Portugal. In terms of business segments, it also includes the activities of Banque Privée BCP and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust.
The Foreign Business segment, for the purpose of geographical segments, comprises the operations outside Portugal, in particular Bank Millennium in Poland, Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland, Banca Millennium in Romania, Millennium bim in Mozambique, Banco Millennium Angola and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands. The Foreign Business segment, in terms of the business segments, comprises the Group operations outside Portugal referred to above, excluding Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands, which are included in the Asset Management and Private Banking segment.
In Poland, the Group is represented by a universal bank offering a wide range of financial products and services to individuals and companies nationwide; in Switzerland by Banque Privée BCP, a Private Banking platform under Swiss law; and in Romania with an operation focused on individuals and small and medium-sized companies. Additionally, the Group is represented in Mozambique by a universal bank targeting companies and individual customers; in Angola by a bank focused on private customers and companies as well as public and private institutions; and in the Cayman Islands by Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, a bank designed for international services in the area of Private Banking to customers with high net worth ("Affluent" segment).
Other segment includes the centralised management of shareholdings and the remaining corporate activities and operations that are not included in the business segments, namely the bancassurance activity, a joint-venture with the Belgian-Dutch Group Ageas, and the remaining amounts not allocated to the segments.
The figures reported for each business segment result from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, including the impact from capital allocation and the balancing process of each entity, both at balance sheet and income statement levels, based on average figures. Balance sheet headings for each subsidiary and business unit are re-calculated, given the replacement of their original own funds by the outcome of the capital allocation process, according to regulatory solvency criteria.
Considering that the capital allocation process complies with regulatory solvency criteria currently in place, the weighted risk, as well as the capital allocated to segments, are based on Basel II methodology. Following the request submitted by the Bank, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of that methodology to the subclasses of risk ―Renewable Retail Positions‖ and ―Other Retail Positions‖ in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk ―Corporates‖ in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for ―Loans secured by residential real estate‖ and ―Renewable positions‖ of the Retail portfolio in Poland.
Additionally, it was adopted the standard approach for operational risk and the internal models approach for general market risk and foreign exchange risk, for the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal. The capital allocation for each segment, in the first semester of 2012 and in the first semester of 2013, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, with no impact on consolidated accounts.
Operating costs determined for each business area rely on one hand the amounts accounted directly in the respective cost centres, and on the other hand, the amounts resulting from internal cost allocation processes. For example, in the first set of costs are included costs related to phone communication, travelling accommodation and representation expenses and to advisory services and in the second set are included costs related to correspondence, water and electricity and to rents related to spaces occupied by organic units, among others. The allocation of this last set of costs is based on the application of previously defined criteria, related to the level of activity of each business area, like the number of current accounts, the number of customers or employees, the business volume and the space occupied.
Financial flows generated by the business areas, in particular the placement of funds from new deposits and funding of loans granted, are processed at market prices, having the Bank's Treasury as counterparty. These market prices are determined according to the currency, the maturity of the transactions and their repricing periods. Additionally, all financial flows resulting from capital allocation are based on the average 6-month Euribor interest rate for each given period.
Information related to the first semester of 2012 is presented on a comparable basis with the information related to the first semester of 2013, reflecting the current organisational structure of the Group's business areas referred to in the Segment description described above, and considering the effect of the transfer of clients.
The net contributions of each segment include, where applicable, the non-controlling interests. Thus, the net contribution reflects the individual results achieved by its business units, independent of the percentage held by the Group, including the impact of movements of funds described above. The following information is based on financial statements prepared according to IFRS and on the organisational model in place for the Group, as at 30 June 2013.
The Group operates with special emphasis in the Portuguese market, and also in a few affinity markets and in markets of recognised growth potential. Considering this, the geographical segments include Portugal, Poland, Mozambique, Angola and Other. The segment Portugal reflects, essentially, the activities carried out by Banco Comercial Português in Portugal, ActivoBank and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário. The segment Poland includes the business carried out by Bank Millennium (Poland); while the segment Mozambique contains the activity of BIM - Banco Internacional de Moçambique and the segment Angola contains the activity of Banco Millennium Angola. The segment Other, indicated within the geographical segment reporting, comprises the Group's operations not included in the remaining segments, namely the activities developed in other countries, such as Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland, Banca Millennium in Romania and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands.
Following the conclusion on 19 June 2013 of the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium bank in Greece, in accordance with the general conditions announced, and according to IFRS 5, Millennium bank in Greece is now classified as a discontinued operation, with the impact on results presented on a separate line item in the profit and loss account, defined as income arising from discontinued operations for comparison, the income statement was restated as at 30 June 2013. At the consolidated balance sheet level, the presentation of assets and liabilities of Millennium bank in Greece were not included as at 30 June 2013, but remained in the criteria considered as at 30 June 2012.
As at 30 June, 2013, the net contribution of the major business segments is analysed as follows:

The balance sheet items of each subsidiary and each business unit are recalculated considering the replacement of accounting equity by the amounts assigned through the allocation within the strict fulfilment of solvency regulatory criteria. (2) Corresponds mainly to the income attributable to third parties related to the subsidiaries in Poland, in Mozambique and in Angola.
(3) Includes difference in costs allocated to the segments, namely those connected with corporate areas and strategic projects. In June 2012 includes a gain associated with the calculation of the death benefit of Euros 64,000,000.
(4) Includes provisions for property in kind, administrative infractions, various contingencies and other unallocated to commercial networks. In June 2013 includes Euros 80,000,000 related to the investment in Piraeus Bank.

The Group is subject to several risks during the course of its business. The risks from different companies of the Group are managed centrally coordinating with the local departments and considering the specific risks of each business.
The Group's risk-management policy is designed to ensure adequate relationship at all times between its own funds and the business it carries on, and also to evaluate the risk/return profile by business line.
Monitoring and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Group's business is subject are of particular importance.
Credit – Credit risk is associated with the degree of uncertainty of the expected returns as a result of the inability either of the borrower (and the guarantor, if any) or of the issuer of a security or of the counterparty to an agreement to fulfils their obligations.
Market – Market risk reflects the potential loss inherent in a given portfolio as a result of changes in rates (interest and exchange) and/or in the prices of the various financial instruments that make up the portfolio, considering both the correlations that exist between them and the respective volatility.
Liquidity – Liquidity risk reflects the Group's inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses resulting from the deterioration of the funding conditions (funding risk) and/or from the sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).
Operational – Operational risk is understood to be the potential loss resulting from failures or inadequacies in internal procedures, persons or systems, and also the potential losses resulting from external events.
The Banco Comercial Português Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of the risk policy, including the approval at the very highest level of the principles and rules to be followed in risk management, as well as the guidelines dictating the allocation of economic capital to the business lines.
The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, ensures the existence of adequate risk control and of risk-management systems at the level both of the Group and of each entity. At the proposal of the Banco Comercial Português Executive Committee, the Board of Directors also approves the risk-tolerance level acceptable to the Group.
The Risk Commission is responsible for monitoring the overall levels of risk incurred, ensuring that they are compatible with the objectives and strategies approved for the business.
The Group Risk Officer is responsible for the control of risks in all the Group entities, in order to ensure that the risks are monitored on an overall basis and that there is alignment of concepts, practices and objectives. It must also keep the Risk Commission informed of the Group's level of risk, proposing measures to improve control and implementing the approved limits.
The activity of every entity included within the Banco Comercial Português consolidation perimeter is governed by the principles and decisions established centrally by the Risk Commission and the main subsidiaries are provided with Risk Office structures which are established in accordance with the risks inherent in their particular business. A Risk Control Commission has been set up at each relevant subsidiary, responsible for the control of risks at local level, in which the Group Risk Officer takes part.
The Group Head of Compliance is responsible for implementing systems of monitoring the compliance with legal obligations and responsibilities to which the Bank is subject, as well, the prevention, monitoring and reporting of risks in organizational processes, which include, among others, the prevention of money laundering, combating financing of terrorism, prevention of conflict of interest, issues related to abuse of market and compliance with the disclosure requirements to customers.
For purposes of profitability analysis and risk quantification and control, each entity is divided into the following management areas:
Trading and Sales: involves those positions whose objective is to obtain short-term gains through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, are tradable without restriction and may be valued frequently and precisely, including the securities, the derivatives and the sales activities;
Financing: Financing operations of the group in the market, including both money market operations and institutional ones (and possible risk coverage), but no structural financing transactions (e.g. subordinated debt);
Investment: includes those positions in securities to be held to maturity, during a longer period of time or those that are not tradable on liquid markets, or any others that are held with no other purpose than short-term gains. Also includes any other hedging risk operation associated to those;
Commercial: includes all operations (assets and liabilities) held at the normal course of business group with its customers;
ALM: is the Assets and Liabilities management function, including operations decided by CALCO in the group's global risk management function and centralizes the transfer of risk between the remaining areas;
Structural: deals with balance sheet elements or operations that, because of their nature, are not directly related to any of the other areas, including structural financing operations of the group, capital and balance sheet fixed items;
The definition of the management areas allows effective separation of the management of the trading and banking portfolios, as well as a proper allocation of each operation to the most appropriate management area according to their context.
Credit granting is based on prior classification of the customers' risk and on thorough assessment of the level of protection provided by the underlying collateral. In order to do so, a single risk-notation system has been introduced, the Rating Master Scale. It is based on the expected probability of default, allowing greater discrimination in the assessment of the customers and better establishment of the hierarchies of the associated risk. The Rating Master Scale also identifies those customers showing worsening credit capacity and, in particular, those classified as being in default in keeping with the Basel II Accord.
All the rating and scoring models used by the Group have been duly calibrated for the Rating Master Scale.
The protection-level concept has been introduced as a crucial element of evaluation of the effectiveness of the collateral in credit-risk mitigation, leading to more active collateralization of loans and more adequate pricing of the risk incurred.
To quantify the credit risk at the level of the various portfolios, the Group has developed a model based on an actuarial approach, which provides the distribution of total loss probability. In addition to the Probability of Default (PD) and of the Amount of the Loss Given Default (LGD) as the central points, consideration is also given to the uncertainty associated with the development of these parameters, through the introduction of the respective volatility. The effects of diversification and/or concentration between the sectors of the loan portfolios are quantified by introducing the respective correlations.
The gross Group's exposure to credit risk (original exposure), as at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012 is presented in the following table:

The balance Retail includes the amounts of credit granted to the retail segment and does not consider the amounts of interest, impairment or risk mitigation through collaterals.
The balance State and other public entities includes the amounts related to sovereign debt, credit to governmental institutions, public companies, governments and municipalities, and does not consider the amounts of interest, impairment or risk mitigation through collaterals.
The Group in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the diverse portfolios (according with the previous definition), uses an integrated risk measure that includes the main types of market risk identified by the Group: generic risk, specific risk, non linear risk and commodities risk.
The measure used in evaluating the generic market risk is the VaR (Value at Risk). The VaR is calculated on the basis of the analysis approximation defined in the methodology developed by the RiskMetrics. It is calculated considering a 10-working day time horizon and an unilateral statistical confidence interval of 99%. In calculating the volatility associated with each risk factor, is performed using the econometric model estimation EWMA that assumes a greater weighting for the market conditions seen in the more recent days, thus ensuring more accurate adjustment to market conditions.
A specific risk evaluation model is also applied to securities (bonds, shares, certificates, etc) and associated derivatives for which the performance is related to its value. With the necessary adjustments, this model follows regulatory standard methodology.
Complementary measures are also used for other types of risk, a risk measure that incorporates the non-linear risk of options not covered in the VaR model, with a confidence interval of 99% and a standard measure for commodities risks.
These measures are included in the indicator of market risk with the conservative assumption of perfect correlation between the various types of risk.
Capital at risk values are determined both on an individual basis for each one of the position portfolios of those areas having responsibilities in risk taking and management, as well as in consolidated terms taking into account the effects of diversification between the various portfolios.
To ensure that the VaR model adopted is appropriate to the evaluation of the risks involved in the positions that have been assumed, a back testing process has been instituted. This is carried out on a daily basis and it confronts the VaR indicators with the actual results.
The following table shows the main indicators for these measures to the trading portfolio, during the first semester of 2013:

Evaluation of the interest rate risk originated by the banking portfolio is performed by a risk sensitivity analysis process carried out every month for all operations included in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.
For this analysis are considered the financial characteristics of the contracts available in information systems. Based on these data, a projection for expected cash flows is made, according to the repricing dates and any prepayment assumptions considered.
Aggregation of the expected cash flows for each time interval for each of the currencies under analysis allows determination of the interest rate gaps per repricing period.
The interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet in each currency is calculated through the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch after discounting the market interest rates and the discounted value of the same cash flows by simulating parallel shifts of the market interest rates.
The following tables shows the expected impact on the banking books economic value of parallel shifts of the yield curve by +/- 100 and +/- 200 basis points, on each of the main currencies:

The information on the gains and losses in exchange rates on the loans to cover the investments in foreign institutions, accounted for as exchange differences, is presented in the statement of changes in equity.
The ineffectiveness generated in the hedging operations is recognised in the statement of income, as referred in the accounting policy 1 e).
Evaluation of the Group's liquidity risk is carried out using indicators defined by the supervisory authorities on a regular basis and other internal metrics for which exposure limits are also defined.
The evolution of the Group's liquidity situation for short-term time horizons (up to 3 months) is reviewed daily on the basis of two indicators defined in-house, immediate liquidity and quarterly liquidity. These measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise on a single day, considering the cash-flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively.
Calculation of these indicators involves adding to the liquidity position of the day under analysis the estimated future cash flows for each day of the respective time horizon (3 days or 3 months) for the transactions as a whole brokered by the markets areas, including the transactions with customers of the Corporate and Private networks that, for their dimension, have to be quoted by the Trading Room. The amount of assets in the Bank's securities portfolio considered highly liquid is added to the calculated value, leading to determination of the liquidity gap accumulated for each day of the period under review.
In parallel, the evolution of the Group's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis identifying all the factors that justify the variations that occur. This analysis is submitted to the Capital and Assets and Liabilities Committee (CALCO) for appraisal, in order to enable the decision making that leads to the maintenance of financing conditions adequate to the continuation of the business.
In addition, the Risks Commission is responsible for controlling the liquidity risk.
This control is reinforced with the monthly execution of stress tests, to characterize the Bank's risk profile and to ensure that the Group and each of its subsidiaries, fulfil its obligations in the event of a liquidity crisis. These tests are also used to support the liquidity contingency plan and management decisions.
In the current conjuncture, and given the continued prudent management of liquidity by the Group, has been reinforced the buffer role provided by the liquidity asset portfolio discountable with the ECB (or other Central Banks), although the effect of loss of eligibility of part of the portfolio and the remaining devaluation. In this line, the portfolio of discountable assets to the ECB ended the first semester of 2013 with a value of Euros 15,807,708,000, a lower value than the end of 2012 but in line with the reduction in financing needs of the Group in this period.
The eligible pool of assets for funding operations in the European Central Bank and other Central Banks in Europe, net of haircuts, is detailed as follows:

17,690,385 986,636 |
| 17,565,133 | 18,677,021 |
As at 30 June 2013, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank and Other Central Banks amounted to Euros 11,900,000,000 and Euros 0 respectively (31 December 2012: Euros 12,255,000,000 and Euros 0).
The amount of eligible assets for funding operations in the European Central Banks includes securities issued by SPE concerning securitization operations in which the assets were not derecognised at a consolidated level, therefore the respective securities are not recognised in the securities portfolio.
The evolution of the Pool Monetary Policy of the ECB and the corresponding collaterals used is analysed as follows:

The approach to operational risk management is based on the business and support end-to-end processes. Process management is the responsibility of the Process Owners, who are the first parties responsible for evaluation of the risks and for strengthening the performance within the scope of their processes. The Process Owners are responsible for keeping up to date all the relevant documentation concerning the processes, for ensuring the real adequacy of all the existing controls through direct supervision or by delegation on the departments responsible for the controls in question, for coordinating and taking part in the risk self-assessment exercises, and for detecting and implementing improvement opportunities, including mitigating measures for the more significant exposures.
In the operational risk model implemented in the Group, there is a systematic process of gathering information on operational losses, that defines on a systematic form, the causes and the effects associated to an eventual detected loss. From the analysis of the historical information and its relationships, processes involving greater risk are identified and mitigation measures are launched to reduce the critical exposures.
The contractual terms of instruments of wholesale funding encompass obligations assumed by entities belonging to the Group as debtors or issuers, concerning general duties of societary conduct, maintenance of banking activity and the inexistence of special guarantees constituted for the benefit of other creditors (―negative pledge‖). These terms reflect essentially the standards internationally adopted for each type of instrument.
The terms of the Group's participation in securitization operations involving its own assets are subject to mandatory changes in case the Group stops respecting certain rating criteria. The criteria established in each transaction results mainly from the existing risk analysis at the moment that the transaction was set, being these methodologies usually applied by each rating agency in a standardised way to all the securitization transactions involving the same type of loans.
Regarding the Covered Bond Programs of Banco Comercial Português and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário that are currently underway, there are no relevant covenants related to a possible downgrade of the Bank.
Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk ―Renewable Retail Positions‖ and ―Other Retail Positions‖ in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for ―Loans secured by residential real estate‖ and ―Renewable positions‖ of the Retail portfolio in Poland. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) to the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
Consolidated own funds of Banco Comercial Português are determined according to the applicable regulatory rules, namely the Regulation nº6/2010 from the Bank of Portugal. The own funds result from adding tier 1 with tier 2 and subtracting the component of Deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, established in the Regulation nº3/2011, and other relevant elements to the discharge of tier 1. The tier 1 and, in particular, core tier 1, comprises the steadiest components of the own funds.
As core tier 1 positive elements, the paid-up capital and the share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State in the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings, non-controlling interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries and the deferred impacts related to the transition adjustments to the International Financial Reporting Standards, are considered. Net losses, own shares, the shortfall of impairment to the regulatory provisions of the Regulation nº3/95 from the Bank of Portugal, calculated on an individual basis for exposures treated by the standardised approach, goodwill and other intangible assets correspond to negative elements.
At the end of the 2011 the Bank decided for a change in the accounting policy related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses of the Pension Fund. Accordingly, and following an analysis of the options permitted by the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 - Employee benefits, the Group decided to recognise the actuarial gains and losses against reserves. Previously, the Group used to defer actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor method, in which the unrecognised actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the largest among between the current value of the liabilities and the fair value of the assets were recognised against the income statement according to the estimated remaining useful life of active employees.
Despite this change in accounting policy, the Bank of Portugal, for prudential purposes, allowed to continue to be used a corridor, corresponding to the higher value between i) 10% of liabilities from retirement and other pensions benefits, and ii) 10% of the value of the Pension Fund, as defined in the Regulation nº2/2012 from the Bank of Portugal. This corridor was enlarged by the Bank of Portugal to include the impacts that resulted from the change of mortality tables in 2005 and the actuarial losses of 2008, excluding the expected return of the fund's assets in the same year. This enlarged corridor is subject to a monthly amortization, which ended in December 2012.
Core tier 1 can also be influenced by the replacement of unrealised gains and losses which do not represent impairment on debt securities, loans and other receivables recorded in the available-for-sale portfolio, on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk, as well as by the reversal of unrealised gains on equity securities classified as available-for-sale and loans and other receivables from the trading portfolio or measured at fair value through profits and losses.
Since the second half of 2011, the Bank of Portugal established new rules which have influenced the core tier 1 of the Group:
In November 2011, the Bank of Portugal issued a clarification regarding the Regulation nº 6/2010, determining a deduction to core tier 1 related to customers deposits with yields above a certain threshold (Instruction nº15/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).
The Bank of Portugal has allowed the prudential neutralization, as from December 2011 and until June 2012, of the impacts related to the transfer of part of pension liabilities to the General Social Security Scheme and the Special Inspection Programme, carried out under the program of financial assistance to Portugal (Regulation nº1/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).
In June 2012, the Bank issue Euros 3,000 millions of core tier 1 capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the recapitalization process of the Group and in accordance with Regulation n. 3/2011 from the Bank of Portugal. These instruments eligible until the maximum of 50% of core tier 1. The additional elements that integrate the tier I are preference shares, other hybrid instruments, and even some deductions taken by 50%: (i) of interests held in financial institutions and insurers; and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning risk‐weighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach.
The tier 2 includes the subordinated debt and 45% of the unrealized gains on available for sale assets that have been deducted to core tier 1. These components are part of the upper tier 2, except the subordinated debt, that is split between upper tier 2 (perpetual debt) and lower tier 2 (the remaining). Subordinated debt can only be included in the own funds with the agreement of the Bank of Portugal and as long as their total amount complies with the following limits: a) the tier 2 cannot surpass the amount of the tier 1 and b) the lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of the tier 1. Additionally, non-perpetual subordinated loans should be amortised at a 20% annual rate, during the last five years to maturity. The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% not deducted to the tier 1: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning risk‐weighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach. If the amount of tier 2 is not enough to accommodate this deduction, the excess should be subtracted to the tier 1.
In order to conclude the calculation of the regulatory capital, there are still some deductions to the own funds that need to be performed, namely the amount of real-estate assets resulting from recovered loans that have exceeded the regulatory period of permanence in the Bank's accounts, the impairment concerning securitization transactions that have not reached the regulatory definition of effective risk transfer, to the extent of the amounts not recognised in the Bank's accounts, and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits in the scope of Bank of Portugal published Regulation nº7/2010.
Capital requirements have been determined in accordance with the Basel II framework since the beginning of 2008. Capital requirements for credit risk have been determined in accordance with the Regulation nº5/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using IRB approaches to calculate minimum capital requirements for exposures managed from Portugal, covering a substantial part of the retail and corporate portfolios, and for a significant part of the retail portfolio of Poland as from 31 December 2012, and the standardised approach for the remaining portfolios and geographies.
Capital requirements for operational risk have been calculated following the standard approach described in the Regulation nº9/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, and capital requirements for the trading portfolio have been calculated according to the Regulation nº8/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using the internal models approach to calculate capital requirements for the generic market risk of the trading portfolio, comprising the sub-portfolios managed from Portugal, related to debt instruments, capital instruments and foreign exchange risks, and the standardised approach to calculate capital requirements for the specific risk.
Additionally, in the scope of the program of financial assistance to Portugal, the Bank of Portugal established, through the Regulation nº3/2011, that financial groups should reinforce their core tier 1 ratios, on a consolidated basis, to at least 9% until 31 December 2011 and 10% until 31 December 2012. In accordance to the criteria defined by EBA, which include the capital buffer of Euros 848 million related to sovereign risks, the Group reached a core tier 1 ratio of 9.8% in December 2012, above the minimum established limit (9%).

A press release issued by the Bank of Portugal on 28 December 2007 mentioned that such administrative proceedings were initiated ―based in facts related with 17 off-shore entities, whose nature and activities were always hidden from Bank of Portugal, in particular in previous inspections carried out‖.
On 12 December 2008, the Bank was notified of an accusation under the administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO instructed by the Bank of Portugal, in which this Authority charges the Bank and the other defendants, with the practice of six administrative offences regulated by paragraph g) and three administrative offences regulated by paragraph r) of article 211 of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (LFCIFC).
The offences, should the charges be proven true, would be the following:
a) Failure to comply with the applicable accounting rules, determined by law or by the Bank of Portugal, that do not cause serious damages to the knowledge of the company's assets and financial standing is an administrative offence regulated in article 210 (f) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, if such conduct causes serious damages, it may become the offence regulated in article 211 (g) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.
b) the (i) omission of information and communications to the Bank of Portugal, within the due deadlines or (ii) the provision of incomplete information are offences regulated in article 210 (h – presently amended to i) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, the (i) provision of false information or (ii) of incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal that may lead to wrongful conclusions with the same or similar effect as false information regarding that subject are offences regulated in article 211 (r) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.
According to the charges, each offence is punishable by a fine between Euros 2,493.99 and Euros 2,493,989.49, and pursuant to the rules on accrued offences, defined in article 19 (1 and 2), of the Portuguese regime on administrative offences (Regime Geral das Contra-ordenações), in case of conviction for several offences, there shall be a single fine, the maximum amount of which cannot surpass twice the highest limit of the accrued offences.
On March 2009, the Bank did not accept the charges or accusations made and provided defence under these administrative proceedings within due term.
On 12 May 2010, the Bank was notified of the contents of the decision that, within the scope of the proceedings, was issued by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal, applying to it, as primary sanction, a single fine of Euros 5,000,000.
Different fines were applied to the remaining defendants as primary sanctions, globally amounting to Euros 4,470,000. The Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal decided to file the proceedings relating to a former Director and a Manager.
The Bank objected to this decision and has already been informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.
The trial hearing began in April 2011 and in September, the Court heard the witnesses so as to better appraise the validity of the documentation provided with the claims and their eventual nullity as evidence due to violation of banking secrecy.
After the hearing, the Court issued a decision dated of 7 October 2011 declaring that the evidence was null and therefore the entire process was annulled.
The Public Prosecutor and Banco of Portugal appealed this decision. The Bank and other defendants have already presented their counter-claim.
On 5 July 2012, the Bank was notified of the decision of the Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa (Lisbon court of appeals) which approved the appeals presented by Banco de Portugal and by the public prosecution, and revoked the decision appealed, determining that, ―there being no other reason not to, the trial hearing shall be continued and at the appropriate moment, a decision will be made based on the evidence‖
Several defendants (natural persons) presented an appeal to the Constitutional Court and the proceeding is waiting to be appraised.
Pursuant to a summary judgment adopted on 20 March 2013, the Constitutional Court decided ―not to know‖ the appeals brought by the defendants stating that that those appeals did not comply with the respective requirements.
On 29 May 2013, the Constitutional Court did not accept the claims presented in the meantime by some of the defendants (natural persons) and confirmed the summary judgment. The proceedings will now return to the first-stage court for the schedule of a new trial.
Considering this notification, and although considering as reproduced the contents of the defence presented in the above mentioned administrative proceedings, the Bank decided, in order to avoid any risk of a future allegation of loss of the right to an indemnity that may occur if no recourse is presented in this process, to present legal documentation regarding: (i) the recognition of its right, in a later period namely following the final identification of the facts, present a separate process in civil courts requesting an indemnity and (ii) additionally and cautiously, if the right to the request of a separate indemnity process in civil courts is not recognised, a civil indemnity according to the facts and terms mentioned in the accusation, if they are proven.
On 19 July 2011 the Bank was notified of the decision of the 8ª Vara Criminal de Lisboa (Lisbon criminal court section) to recognise that the Bank could present an eventual request for civil indemnity separately. One of the Defendants appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals, which was admitted by the first instance court but has a merely devolutive effect, being passed to the higher court only with the eventual appeal that ends the proceedings.
The debate and trial hearing is currently underway.
The loan agreements are ruled by the Swiss Law and subject to the jurisdiction of the Swiss courts and the Bank was informed that, according to the Swiss law, the Plaintiffs' request is not likely to be granted. Since the lawsuit was brought forward in the Portuguese courts, if the Portuguese courts decide to try the same, its outcome may be uncertain. Since the Bank believes that the Plaintiffs' request has no grounds, the Bank did not make any provisions regarding this litigation.
On 29 October 2012, the Bank presented its arguments. Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. requested that the citation be considered null; the request was accepted and an order was issued for the repetition of the citation, and the same was repeated on 08 January 2013. Banque Privée presented its arguments on 11 March 2013. The proceeding is waiting the scheduling of a preliminary hearing or the pronunciation of a decision accepting the formalities of right of action.

The values for Credit Default Swaps identified in the tables above, are economically offset by other symmetrical Credit Default Swaps or Credit Linked Notes issued by the Group and for which is applied the Fair Value Option or are being detached embedded derivatives associated, so that, in net terms, the Group is not exposed to the risks underlying sovereign risks.
The Group performed a set of transactions of sale of financial assets (namely loans and advances to customers) for Funds specialized in the recovery of loans. These funds take the responsibility for management of the companies or assets received as collateral with the objective of ensuring a pro-active management through the implementation of plans to explore/increase the value of the companies/assets. The financial assets sold under these transactions are derecognised from the balance sheet of the Group, since the transactions result in the transfer to the Funds of a substantial portion of the risks and benefits associated with the assets as well as the control on the assets.
The specialized funds that acquire the financial assets are closed funds, in which the holders of the participation units have no possibility to request the reimbursement of its investment throughout the useful life of the Fund.
These participation units are held by several banks, which are the sellers of the loans, in percentages that vary through the useful life of the Funds, ensuring however that, separately, none of the banks holds more than 50% of the capital of the Fund.
The Funds have a specific management structure (General Partner), fully independent from the banks and that is selected on the date of establishment of the Fund.
The management structure of the Fund has as main responsibilities:
determine the objective of the Fund;
manage exclusively the Fund, determining the objectives and investment policy and the conduct in management and business of the Fund.
The management structure is remunerated through management commissions charged to the Funds.
These funds, in the majority of the transactions (in which the Group holds minority positions) establish companies under the Portuguese law in order to acquire the loans to the banks, which are financed through the issuance of senior and junior bonds. The value of the senior bonds fully subscribed by the Finds that hold the share capital of the companies match the fair value of the asset sold, determined in accordance with a negotiation based on valuations performed by both parties. These bonds are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.
The value of the junior bonds is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior bonds and the sale value.
These junior bonds, when subscribed by the Group, provide the right to a contingent positive value if the recovered amount for the assets transferred is above the nominal value amount of senior bonds plus it related interest.
However, considering that these junior bonds reflect a difference between the valuations of the assets sold based on the appraisals performed by independent entities and the negotiation between the parties, the junior bonds are fully provided.
-Participation units of the Funds, for which the cash-flows that allow the recovery arise mainly from a set of assets transferred from the participant banks (where the Group has clearly a minority interest). These securities are booked in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for at fair value based on the market value, as disclosed by the Funds and audited at year end.
Within this context, not withholding control but maintaining an exposure to certain risks and rewards, the Group, in accordance with IAS 39.21 performed an analysis of the exposure to the variability of risks and rewards in the assets transferred, before and after the transaction, having concluded that it doesn't hold substantially all the risks and rewards.
Considering that it doesn't hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Bank performed the derecognition of the assets transferred under the scope of IAS 39.20 c (i) and the recognition of the assets received as follows:
