RESULTS AND ACTIVITY IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2012

At the end of the 2011, considering the agreement signed between the Portuguese Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the unions of bank employees to transfer the pension liabilities for retired employees and pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme, the Bank decided, just prior to the transfer, to change the accounting policy associated with the recognition of actuarial deviations.

Following the analysis of the several alternatives allowed by International Accounting Standards (IAS) 19 for Employee Benefits, the Group chose to recognise actuarial deviations in the period on equity. Previously, the Group proceeded with the deferral of actuarial deviations determined in accordance with the corridor method, in which gains and losses which exceeded 10% of the greater between the current value of the liabilities and the fair value of the Fund's assets were recorded in results by the value of the remaining estimated useful life of the active employees.

To reflect this, in accordance with IAS, this change was performed with retroactive effect to 1 January 2010, and consequently the Group recognised in equity the total actuarial deviations deferred. In accordance with the standards, the Group performed the restatement of financial statements as at 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010, as well as in relation to the months during the year 2011, for comparison purposes.

RESULTS

Millennium bcp's consolidated net income was negative by Euro 796.3 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared with a profit of Euro 97.6 million posted in the first nine months of 2011 (restated according to the change in the accounting policy).

The evolution of consolidated net income was hindered by the reinforcement of impairment and provision charges posted in the activity in Portugal in the first nine months of 2012, in the amount of Euro 813.0 million, and by the accounting of impairment for estimated losses together with the net losses posted by the subsidiary in Greece, in the global amount of Euro 531.6 million. In the international activity, net income was restrained by the activity developed in Greece, despite the favourable performance of Bank Millennium in Poland, excluding the foreign exchange effect of the zloty against the euro, and of Banco Millennium Angola.

In the first nine months of 2012, operating costs excluding specific items reduced 1.8%, benefiting mostly from the activity in Portugal (-3.5%).

Net income for the first nine months of 2012 comprises:

  • the impairment charges posted in the activity in Portugal, totalling Euro 813.0 million;
  • the accounting of impairment for estimated losses and the negative net income of the operation in Greece totalling Euro 531.6 million, as mentioned above;
  • the unfavourable impact on net interest income of the liability management operations, completed in 2011, in the amount of Euro 144.0 million, and of the issuance in 2012 of hybrid securities subscribed by the Portuguese State, in the amount of Euro 67.4 million;
  • the accounting of a cost in the amount of Euro 51.1 million associated with commissions from the issuance of debt securities guaranteed by the Portuguese Republic;
  • the repurchase of own debt securities which led to a capital gain of Euro 184.3 million;
  • the gains associated with Portuguese sovereign debt classified as held for trading of Euro 42.7 million; and
  • the favourable impact from the legislative change related to the mortality allowance of Euro 64.0 million.

Net income for the first nine months of 2011 includes:

  • the losses associated with Portuguese sovereign debt classified as held for trading of Euro 126.1 million;
  • the reversal of provisions related to the pension fund of former members of the Executive Board of Directors and to the complementary plan of employees, of Euro 48.3 million; and
  • the recognition of deferred tax benefit in the amount of Euro 132.5 million in the scope of the restructuring process of the Group's shareholdings.

Net interest income totalled Euro 770.9 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared with Euro 1,196.8 million in the same period of 2011.

Net interest income in the activity in Portugal reflects the impact of the unfavourable interest rate effect, driven by the increase in the funding cost, and of the negative business volume effect, influenced by the performance of the portfolio of loans to customers. In the third quarter of 2012, net interest income includes the impact associated with the issuance of hybrid securities subscribed by the Portuguese State in the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process. In the international activity, net interest income reflects the evolution posted by Millennium bank in Greece, despite the increases observed in Millennium bank in Poland and in Banco Millennium Angola.

The net interest margin stood at 1.22% in the first nine month of 2012, which compares with 1.75% in the same period in 2011, determined by the impact of the liability management operations completed in the second half of 2011 and of the issuance in 2012 of hybrid securities subscribed by the Portuguese State and by the higher costs associated with term deposits, while, benefitting from the credit repricing effort.

Net commissions totalled Euro 516.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, which compares with Euro 594.5 million in the same period of 2011. In the activity in Portugal, excluding the effect of commissions associated with the guarantee granted by the Portuguese State, net commissions decreased by 6.7% from the same period in 2011. In the international activity commissions increased 0.4%, benefiting from the performance of most line items of commissions in the subsidiary companies in Mozambique and Angola.

Net commissions reflected:

  • a lower level of net commissions related with the banking business (-2.2%);
  • a drop in commissions related with the financial markets (-17.7%), as a result of the persistence of uncertainty factors in capital markets, leading to an unfavourable performance in the management of financial investments; and
  • the cost associated with the issuance of debt securities by the Bank guaranteed by the Portuguese Republic, in the amount of Euro 51.1 million, posted in the first nine months of 2012.

The net trading income totalled Euro 358.8 million in the first nine months of 2012, which compares with Euro 181.2 million in the same period of 2011, reflecting the impact of the capital gain from the repurchase of debt securities issued by the Bank of Euro 184.3 million, posted in the activity in Portugal. In the international activity, net trading income was essentially influenced by the performance of trading and derivative operations, despite the higher results from foreign exchange activity.

The evolution of net trading income in the activity in Portugal, from the same period in 2011, was boosted by the higher gains related to the repurchase of debt securities issued by the Bank and to the Portuguese sovereign debt securities classified as available for trading, despite the unfavourable evolution in financial instruments at fair value option.

Other net operating income was negative by Euro 40.4 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared with gains of Euro 7.6 million in the first nine months of 2011.

In the activity in Portugal, the evolution of other net operating income was influenced by the higher losses associated with the re-evaluation of assets (including repossessed assets), in the amount of Euro 13.4 million, compared to the first nine months of 2011, together with the higher level of tax posted, of Euro 5.9 million, compared to the same period in 2011. In the first nine months of 2011, other net operating income comprised the positive impact from the adjustment of insurance premiums related with pensions, in the amount of Euro 18.9 million.

The performance of other net operating income in the international activity benefited from the growth achieved in the subsidiary companies in Poland and Angola.

Equity accounted earnings increased to Euro 42.9 million in the first nine months of 2012, from Euro 2.1 million posted in the same period in 2011, benefiting from the higher appropriation of results from the 49% shareholding in Millenniumbcp Ageas.

Operating costs totalled Euro 1,031.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, which compares with Euro 1,065.9 million accounted in the same period of 2011.

The evolution of operating costs includes: (i) the favourable impact of the legislative change related to mortality allowance, in the amount of Euro 64.0 million, accounted in the second quarter of 2012; (ii) the reversal of provisions related to the pension fund of former members of the Executive Board of Directors and

the complementary plan of employees, in the global amount of Euro 48.3 million, posted in the first nine months of 2011; and (iii) the accounting of costs for early retirements of Euro 2.7 million in the first nine months of 2012 (Euro 1.8 million in the same period of 2011).

Excluding these impacts, operating costs were down by 1.8%, reflecting the 11.5% reduction in depreciation, together with the decreases of 0.6% in staff costs and of 1.9% in other administrative costs.

In the activity in Portugal, operating costs excluding the mentioned effects decreased 3.5% from the first nine months of 2011, as a result of the reductions posted in depreciation (-15.2%), other administrative costs (-3.5%) and staff costs (-2.5%).

In the international activity, operating costs increased 0.9% from the first nine months of 2011, determined by the activity in the subsidiary companies in Angola and Mozambique, reflecting the reinforcement of the operational infrastructure and the support for the organic growth strategy underway in those markets, despite the savings achieved in the operations in Greece and Poland.

The consolidated cost-to-income ratio, excluding specific items, stood at 66.1% in the first nine months of 2012 (56.1% in the same period of 2011), while the activity in Portugal stood at 67.9% in the first nine months of 2012 (54.0% in the same period in 2011).

Staff costs stood at Euro 550.7 million in the first nine months of 2012 (Euro 569.2 million in the same period of 2011). However, staff costs excluding the previously mentioned impacts stood at Euro 612.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, evidencing a decrease of 0.6% from Euro 615.7 million posted in the same period of 2011.

The evolution of staff costs were influenced by the 2.5% decrease in the activity in Portugal, despite the increase of 3.1% in the international activity.

In the international activity, staff costs reflect the increase posted by the subsidiary company in Poland, excluding the foreign exchange rate effect of the zloty against the euro, together with the increases showed by the operations developed in Mozambique and Angola, driven by the rise in the number of employees, from the end of September 2011, in these two operations, to reinforce their competences and operational capabilities.

Other administrative costs decreased 1.9% to Euro 418.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, from Euro 426.3 million posted in the same period of 2011, as a result of the efforts carried out to rationalise and contain costs, highlighting the savings achieved in costs associated with rents, advertising and outsourcing.

Other administrative costs reduced by 3.5% in the activity in Portugal and, simultaneously, showed a reduction of 0.1% in the international activity. The higher expenses evidenced by the subsidiary companies in Mozambique and Angola were offset by the reductions in administrative costs in Millennium bank in Greece and Bank Millennium in Poland.

Depreciation costs fell 11.5% to Euro 62.3 million in the first nine months of 2012, from Euro 70.4 million posted in the same period in 2011.

In the activity in Portugal, depreciation costs decreased 15.2% from the same period of 2011, favourably influenced by the reduction in the level of depreciation on the whole line items. In the international activity depreciation costs fell by 7.4%, over the same period, benefiting from the reduction in depreciation costs posted by the subsidiary companies in Poland, Greece and Romania, despite the increase showed by Banco Millennium in Angola and Millennium bim in Mozambique, due to the ongoing investments as part of the business plans underway in these geographies.

(1) Excludes the impacts of the legislative change related to mortality allowance in the second quarter of 2012 (Euro 64.0 million), the reversal of provisions associated with pensions in the first nine months of 2011 (Euro 48.3 million) and the costs associated with early retirements (Euro 2.7 million in the first nine months of 2012 and Euro 1.8 million in the first nine months of 2011).

(2) Activity in Portugal. According to Instruction no. 23/2011 from the Bank of Portugal. (3) Excludes the impact of specific items.

Impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) stood at Euro 1,236.6 million in the first nine months of 2012, which compares with Euro 764.0 million in the same period of 2011. This evolution reflects the impact of impairment charges for loan losses related with the subsidiary company in Greece, which totalled Euro 543.5 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared with Euro 50.9 million in the same period of 2011.

In the activity in Portugal, the performance of impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) reflects the persistence of an adverse macroeconomic and financial framework and consequently the worsening of the economical and financial situation of Portuguese households and companies.

In the international activity, impairment for loan losses (net of recoveries) reflects essentially the reinforcement of impairment charges in the subsidiary companies in Greece and Poland.

The cost of risk stood at 239 basis points in the first nine months of 2012, compared with 135 basis points in the same period in 2011.

Other impairment and provisions totalled Euro 184.4 million in the first nine months of 2012, which compares with Euro 167.0 million in the same period of 2011.

The evolution of other impairment and provisions reflects mostly the reinforcement of provision charges in the activity in Portugal, in particular, related to repossessed assets, which, in the process of regular re-evaluation of these assets, showed a decline in the respective market value, as well as the rise in charges for provisions related to other risks and commitments.

Income tax (current and deferred) totalled Euro -59.3 million in the first nine months of 2012, which compares with Euro -174.7 million in the same period of 2011.

In the first nine months of 2012, the income tax item includes the cost of current tax in the amount of Euro 52.8 million (Euro 57.1 million in the same period of 2011) and a deferred tax benefit in the amount of Euro 112.1 million (tax benefit of Euro 231.8 million in the same period of 2011, reflecting the accounting of a benefit of Euro 132.5 million in deferred tax assets in the scope of the restructuring of the Group's shareholdings).

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets stood at Euro 89,274 million as at 30 September 2012, which compares with Euro 95,932 million as at 30 September 2011.

Loans to customers (gross), adjusted for a repo operation of Euro 2,256 million on 30 September 2011, decreased 5.9%, to Euro 69,069 million as at 30 September 2012, from Euro 73,379 million on the same date in 2011.

The decrease in the loan portfolio, from the end of September 2011, reflects the reduction of 8.0% in the activity in Portugal. In the international activity, the loan portfolio grew 1.1%, from 30 September 2011, partly influenced by the foreign exchange rate effect of the appreciation of the zloty against the euro. Excluding the foreign exchange rate effect, loans to customers in the international activity decreased in most subsidiaries, despite the growth shown by Banco Millennium Angola and Millennium bim in Mozambique.

The evolution of the loans portfolio was influenced by both loans to companies (-8.7%) and loans to individuals (-2.8%), as a result of the gradual and progressive deleveraging process underway.

Between the end of September 2011 and the end of September 2012, the structure of the loans to customers' portfolio registered identical levels of diversification, with loans to companies representing 51% of total loans to customers as at 30 September 2012, while loans to individuals represented 49% of total loans.

Total customer funds increased 3.1%, adjusted for a repo operation of Euro 2,256 million on 30 September 2011, achieving Euro 66,535 million as at 30 September 2012, which compares with Euro 64,552 million on the same date on 2011.

The growth of total customer funds was boosted by an increase of 4.8% in balance sheet customer funds, benefiting from both customer deposits (+4.3%) and in debt securities (+8.7%). Off-balance sheet customer funds fell by 3.8% to Euro 12,697 million as at 30 September 2012, from Euro 13,201 million as at 30 September 2011, reflecting the evolution of capitalisation products and assets under management.

In the activity in Portugal, total customer funds remained stable, totalling Euro 48,703 million as at 30 September 2012 (Euro 48,695 million on the same date in 2011). In the international activity, total customer funds were up by 12.5%, benefiting from the increase in both balance sheet customer funds and off-balance sheet customer funds, sustained by the performance of the subsidiary companies in Poland, Mozambique, Romania and Angola.

As at 30 September 2012, the structure of total customer funds comprised mostly balance sheet customer funds, which represented 81% of total customer funds, highlighting the component of customer deposits, which represented 71% of total customer funds, while off-balance sheet customer funds represented 19% of total customer funds.

The securities portfolio stood at Euro 12,756 million as at 30 September 2012, up slightly from Euro 12,433 million posted on 30 September 2011.

This evolution was influenced, on the one hand, by the increase in financial assets available for sale and, on the other, by the reduction of financial assets held to maturity, reflecting the lower exposure to Portuguese and Greek sovereign debt and the repayment of bonds issued by Portuguese private issuers.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Bank continued the implementation of the Liquidity Plan, emphasising the optimisation of the management of eligible assets for monetary policy operations with the ECB (European Central Bank). Accordingly, one of the measures involved a new covered bond issuance, which strengthened the pool of eligible assets by Euro 1.6 billion (after haircuts). Globally, the operations to optimise the management of eligible assets for monetary policy operations with the ECB mainly explained the growth of Euro 1.5 billion, to Euro 19.5 billion, in eligible assets, shown by the pool of monetary policy operations from 30 June 2012, which also represents a growth of Euro 3.8 billion since the beginning of 2012.

During the first nine months of 2012, the reduction of the commercial gap and the inflow of Euro 3.0 billion concerning the issuance of capital Core Tier I instruments subscribed by the State led to the reimbursement of Euro 5.4 billion of medium- and long-term debt placed in the markets, an amount that, comprising the anticipated repurchase of debt in advantageous terms, exceeded the initial forecast of the Funding Plan. At the same time, the ECB net exposure showed a reduction to Euro 13.1 billion as at 30 September 2012, when compared with Euro 15.3 billion as at 30 September 2011. Until the end of 2012, the amount of medium- and long-term debt to be refinanced is not significant, with the deleveraging effort expected to continue as well as, whenever justified, actions concerning the optimisation of the portfolio of eligible assets with the ECB

CAPITAL

Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal formally 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 gradual adoption of the IRB methodologies for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk and following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, 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.

The Core Tier I ratio stood at 11.9% in accordance with the Bank of Portugal rules and at 9.4% in accordance with EBA rules (12.1% and 9.7%, respectively, at the end of June 2012), reflecting the decrease of Core Tier I in the third quarter of 2012 (Euro 216 million in accordance with Bank of Portugal rules and Euro 240 million with EBA rules), as well as the decrease is risk weighted assets (Euro 793 million).

The decrease of Core Tier I was mainly influenced by the net loss in the quarter and by the amortisation of the deferred impacts permitted by the Bank of Portugal, despite the favourable contribution of the increases in fair value reserves of Millenniumbcp Ageas, in non-controlling interests and of positive exchange rate differences. The decrease of risk weighted assets was mainly influenced by the efforts related to the deleveraging process and to the optimisation and reinforcement of collaterals registered in the third quarter of 2012.

In the scope of the Bank's Capitalisation Plan, the share capital increase was successfully implemented, through the issue of ordinary shares in the amount of Euro 500 million. Considering the impact of this operation, the Core Tier I as of 30 September 2012 reaches 12.8% in accordance with the Bank of Portugal rules and 10.3% in accordance with EBA rules.

Note: The Bank received authorisation from the Bank of Portugal (BoP) to adopt IRB approaches for the calculation of capital requirements for credit risks, as from 31 December 2010. Estimates of the probability of default and the lost given default (IRB Advanced) were used for retail exposures to small companies and collateralised by commercial and residential real estate, and estimates of the probability of default (IRB Foundation) for corporate exposures, in Portugal, 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 and following the request submitted by the Bank, 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. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorisation from BoP to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) to the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.

MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The world economic activity continued to lose strength during the third quarter in a broad manner, as emerging countries started to be affected more meaningfully by further slack in world trade. According to IMF's latest projections, global GDP will expand by 3.3% this year and 3.6% in the next, with a significant wedge persisting between the performance expected in the emerging countries (growth above 5%) and in the advanced countries as a group (less than 2%).

Over the next few months, the election's outcome in the US and decisions at the institutional level in the European Union (a revision of the aid program to Greece, the Spanish financial system support package and the architecture of supervision of the banking system and of monitoring of national budgets) represent sources of risk. In the medium term, mending excessive indebtedness in advanced countries and creating alternative sustained growth drivers in the emerging countries remain the main policy challenges.

Central banks moved further with unconventional measures to counteract the limitations of fiscal policy in an excessive debt environment and to ensure proper monetary transmission, particularly in the euro area. In this context, a highlight is the ECB's decision for undertaking Outright Monetary Transactions in the secondary market for government securities, subject to a strict conditionality for the countries concerned, namely the existence of a global or preventive macroeconomic adjustment program. The transactions will mainly focus on sovereign bonds with maturities ranging between one to three years.

The bold steps taken by the monetary authorities, despite the lingering uncertainty, helped improve the confidence climate, leading to cyclical assets improving and an overall reduction of the risk premia. This was helpful for the euro periphery, contributing to reduce the borrowing costs of Portugal and for the issuance of debt by Portuguese companies. The ECB's main refinancing rate was kept unchanged at 0.75% but the Euribor interest rates converged to new lows (0.2% for the 3-month Euribor). Despite the reduction in interest rate differentials, the European currency strengthened, chiefly against the U.S. dollar (1.30 dollars per euro), interrupting the depreciation trend that had persisted since mid-2011.

The easing of tensions at the EU level compensated somewhat Portugal's deteriorating macroeconomic environment over the period. Portuguese GDP decreased 1.2% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter - in line with the projected decline of close to 3.0% for the whole year but failing to extend the good results posted at the beginning of the year - and the unemployment rate rose to above 15% of the labour force. Notwithstanding the upward revision for the budget deficit targets to 5.0% and 4.5% of GDP in 2012 and 2013 respectively, fiscal austerity will remain extreme, concentrated on direct taxes, thus constraining both the ability and willingness to spend. In these circumstances, the recession will extend into 2013, driven by weak domestic demand. The indirect impact of measures on economic activity and the direct effects, through taxation on financial products and companies, as included in the budget proposal, add to the challenging environment that banks are facing.

Economic activity has slowed as well in Poland, driven by softer external demand, fiscal consolidation and the petering out of specific one-time events that supported demand at higher levels. The recent decision to relax some requirements associated with lending to households and the growing bias towards a more expansionary monetary policy will tend to minimise some of these effects, thus rendering still reasonable economic growth at above 2% for the period 2012/2013. In Greece, the extension and revision of the rescue package, as is currently being negotiated, will most likely not prevent another recession in 2013. The IMF estimates GDP will contract by 6.0% in 2012 and by a further 4.0% in 2013, completing a full six year period in a recessionary environment.

The sub-Saharan region has displayed a remarkable capacity to withstand the adverse contagions effects stemming from the outside, maintaining robust growth at above 5%. Mozambique has been successful in combining strong economic growth (over 7%) with aggressive disinflation (inflation at below 2% in September). In Angola, the government program as endorsed by the general elections of August ("Angola 25") aims at reinforcing macroeconomic stability by combating inflation, improving competitiveness and promoting sound public finances. The measures to support adequate funding to companies and the development of the capital markets will contribute to further diversification of economic activity and have a positive bearing on prospective banking business.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

30 September, 2012

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of presentation

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 nine months period ended 30 September, 2012 and 2011.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002, and as transposed into Portuguese Law through 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 5 November 2012 by the Bank's Executive Committee. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.

All the references in this document related with any normative always report to current version.

The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September, 2012 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 third quarter of 2012 with comparative figures for the third quarter of last year. The financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September, 2012 do not include all information to be disclosed in annual financial statements.

According to one of the options allowed by IAS 19 Employee Benefits, the Group decided in 2011 for a change in the accounting policy for recognition of actuarial gains and losses, starting to recognise the actuarial gains and losses of the year against reserves. In accordance with IAS 8, this change in accounting policy is presented for comparative purposes from 1 January 2011, recognising in that date all the deferred actuarial gains and losses determined at that date in equity. Thus, the balance Reserves and retained earnings includes, with effective date 1 January 2011, the restatement resulted from the referred change in the accounting policy.

Previously, the Group proceeded to the deferral of actuarial gains and losses determined in accordance with the corridor method. Under this method, actuarial gains and losses not recognised that exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the liabilities and the fair value of the Fund's assets are recorded in the income statement for the period corresponding to the estimated remaining useful life of the employees in service.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently throughout the Group's entities and for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

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 (trading and fair value option) 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, the results of which form the basis of 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 where assumptions and estimates are considered to be significant are presented in note 1 ac).

b) Basis of consolidation

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.

Investments in subsidiaries

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 exceed 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 parcial 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 associates

Investments in associated companies are consolidated by the equity method between 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:

  • representation on the Executive Board of Directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;
  • participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
  • material transactions between the Group and the investee;

  • interchange of the management team; or

  • provision of essential technical information.

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 an associate, the carrying amount is reduced to nil 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

Goodwill arising from business combinations occurred prior to 1 January 2004 was charged against reserves.

Business combinations that occurred after 1 January 2004 are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. 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 of the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is determined based on the value in use of the assets, 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, contingent acquisition prices were determined based on the best estimate of probable future payments, being the future changes in the estimate 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.

Purchases and diluition of non-controlling interests

Until 31 December, 2009, when an interest in a subsidiary was disposed of, without a loss in control, the difference between the sale price and the book value of the net assets held 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 interest in a subsidiary decreased without any sale of interest in that subsidiary, for example, if the Group did not participate proportionally in the 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 fair value of the non-controlling interests acquired and the consideration paid, was accounted against goodwill. The acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related with 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. The 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 as an adjustment to the cost of the business combination against goodwill and the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding) was recognised as a financial expense in the consolidated 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 book value or 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.

The gains and losses resulting from the dilution or sale of a financial position in a subsidiary, with loss of control, are recognised by the Grupo in results for the year.

The same way, 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 consideration paid, is accounted against reserves.

Special Purpose Entities ("SPEs")

The Group fully consolidates SPEs resulting from securitization operation with assets from Group entities (as referred in note 22) and resulting from operations regarding the sale of customer 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. Other than these SPEs resulting from securitization operations and the sale of loans, 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.

Investment fund management

The Group manages the 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 the Group 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).

Investments in foreign subsidiaries and associates

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 in the Group accounts under the full consolidation, proportional consolidation 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. The exchange differences from hedging instruments related with 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 aproximate 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.

Investments in jointly controlled entities

Jointly controlled entities, consolidated under the proportional method, are entities where the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include, in the corresponding captions, the Group's proportional share of the entities' assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, with items of a similar nature on a line by line basis, from the date that joint control started until the date that joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses arising from intragroup 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 to the extent of the Group's interest in the entity.

c) Loans and advances to customers

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 borrowers.

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, less impairment losses.

Impairment

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 the charge is reversed, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, in a subsequent period.

After initial recognition, a loan or a loan portfolio, defined as a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics, may be classified as impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events and when the loss event has 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.

(i) Individually assessed loans

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:

  • Group's aggregate exposure to the customer and the existence of overdue loans;
  • The viability of the customer's business and capability to generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations in the future;
  • The existence, nature and estimated value of the collaterals;
  • A significant downgrading in the client rating;
  • The assets available on liquidation or insolvency;
  • The ranking of all creditor claims;
  • The amount and timing of expected receipts and recoveries.

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 and the amount of any loss is 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.

Individual 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.

(ii) Collective assessment

Impairment losses are calculated on a collective basis under two different scenarios:

  • for homogeneous groups of loans that are not considered individually significant; or

  • in respect of losses which have been incurred but have not yet been reported (‗IBNR') on loans for which no objective evidence of impairment is identified (see paragraph (i)).

The collective impairment loss is determined considering the following factors:

  • historical loss experience in portfolios of similar risk characteristics;
  • knowledge of the current economic and credit conditions and its impact on the historical losses level; and
  • the estimated period between a loss occurring and a loss being identified.

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 which have been individually assessed and 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 loss covers loans that are impaired at the balance sheet date but which will not be individually identified as such until some time in the future.

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 charge-off is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.

d) Financial instruments

(i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement

1) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

1a) Financial assets held for trading

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 interest margin.

Trading derivatives with a positive fair value are included in the Financial assets held for trading and the trading derivatives with negative fair value are included in the Financial liabilities held for trading.

1b) Other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss ("Fair Value Option")

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 with 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 assets and liabilities include derivatives that significantly change the cash-flows of the original contracts (host contracts).

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 with 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.

2) Financial assets available for sale

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. In the sale 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.

3) Financial assets held-to-maturity

The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, that 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 sale 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.

4) Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities

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.

5) Other financial liabilities

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.

(ii) Impairment

An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any objective evidence of impairment, namely circumstances where an adverse impact on estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets can be reliably estimated or based on a significant or 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. The impairment losses recognised in equity instruments classified as available for sale, when reversed, are recognised against fair value reserves.

(iii) Embedded derivatives

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.

e) Derivatives hedge accounting (vi) Impairment

(i) Hedge accounting

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 effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
  • 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, are recognised through profit and loss.

(ii) Fair value hedge

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.

(iii) Cash flow hedge

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.

(iv) Hedge effectiveness

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.

(v) Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation

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 statement on the disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss from the disposal.

f) Reclassifications between financial instruments categories

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:

- If a financial asset, at the date of reclassification present the characteristics of a debt instrument for which there is no active market; or

  • When there is some event that is uncommon and highly improbable that will occur again in the short term, that is, the event can be classified as a rare circumstance.

The Group adopted this possibility for a group of financial assets, as disclosed in note 24.

Transfer of financial assets recognised in the category of Financial assets available-for-sale to Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities and Financial assets held-to-maturity are permitted.

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.

g) Derecognition

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 The Group adopted the Fair value option for the debt, loans and deposits originated in 2007 which contain embedded derivatives or associated hedging

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) can not 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

(i) Securities borrowing

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).

(ii) Repurchase agreements

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.

k) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

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, 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, that 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 expenses 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.

l) Finance lease transactions

Finance lease transactions for a lessee are recorded at the inception of the lease as an asset and liability, at the 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 finance 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.

Assets held under finance leases for a lessor 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.

m) Interest income and expense

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 on the 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 exactly 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 (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 using the rate of interest 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 the following aspects are considered:

  • 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. This income is registered against results 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 writen-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).

n) Fee and commission income

Fees and commissions are recognised according to the following criteria:

  • Fees and commissions which are earned as services are provided are recognised in income over the period in which the service is being provided; - Fees and commissions that are earned on the execution of a significant act, are recognised as income when the service is completed.

Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, are recognised in net interest income.

o) Financial net gains / losses (Net gains / losses arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity)

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.

p) Fiduciary activities

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 year in which they occur.

q) Property and equipment

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 testing 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.

s) Intangible Assets

Research and development expenditure

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 Relativamente The Group, following à actividade the requirements seguradora, ofosIFRS investimentos 5, classifies emasterrenos no-current edifícios assetssãoheldvalorizados for sale theaobuildings seu valorarising actual,outvalor of recovered este que corresponde loans for which ao valor theredeis

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 deposits with banks.

Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted balances with central banks.

u) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported 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.

v) Foreign currency transactions

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.

w) Employee benefits

Defined benefit plans

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).

As for the benefits estimated in the two previous pensions plans, the Group also assumed the responsibility, if some conditions are met in each year, of the attribution of a complementary plan to the employees of the Group, after due consideration of the requirements of the collective labour agreements applicable to each sector (complementary plan).

The Group's net obligation in respect of pension plans (defined benefit pensions plan) is calculated on an half year basis at 31 December and 30 June of each year.

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 inurance (Decree-Law no. 1-A/2011, of 3 January).

The contributive 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, 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 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.

As referred in note 1a), according to one of the options allowed by IAS 19 Employee Benefits, the Group decided in 2011 to change the accounting policy for recognition of actuarial gains and losses, starting to recognise the actuarial gains and losses of the year against reserves. In accordance with IAS 8, this change in accounting policy is presented for comparative purposes from 1 January 2010, recognizing in that date all the deferred actuarial gains and losses in equity.

Previously, the Group proceeded to the deferral of actuarial gains and losses determined in accordance with the corridor method. Under the corridor method, actuarial gains and losses not recognised that exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the liabilities and the fair value of the Fund's assets are recorded in the income statement for the period corresponding to the estimated remaining useful life of the employees in service.

The current services cost plus the interest cost on the unwinding of the Pension liabilities less the expected return on the Plan assets are recorded in operational costs.

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 assets of the Pension Plan.

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 funding policy of the Plan is to make annual contributions by each Group company so as to cover the projected benefits obligations, including the noncontractual projected benefits. The minimum level required for the funding is 100% regarding the liability with pensioners and 95% regarding the employees in service.

Defined contribution plan

Defined Contribution Plan, when applicable, the responsibilities related to the benefits attributed to the Group's employees are recognised as expenses when incurred.

Share based compensation plan

As at 30 September 2012 there are no share based compensation plans in force.

Variable remuneration paid to employees

The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees.

x) Income taxes

The Group is subject to the regime established by the Income Tax Code ("CIRC"). Additionally, deferred taxes resulting from the temporary diferences 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 recorded in profit and loss 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 equity and after are recognised in profit and loss in the moment the results that originated the deferred taxes are recognised.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on 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 for financial reporting purposes 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.

y) Segmental reporting

The Group determines and presents the operational segments based on the management information prepared for internal purposes.

An operational segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing an individual product or service or a group of related products or services, in a specific economic environment and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments, which operates in different economic environments. The Group controls its activity through the following major operating segments:

Portugal

  • Retail Banking;

  • Companies (which includes companies in Portugal, Corporate and Investment Banking);

  • Asset management and Private Banking.

Foreign activity

  • Poland;
  • Greece;
  • Angola:
  • Mozambique.

Others

The aggregate Others includes the activity not allocated to the segments mentioned above, namely the developed by subsidiaries in Romania, Switzerland and Cayman Islands.

z) Provisions

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 discont efect is material, provion correspondes to atual value of the espected future payments, disconted by a rate that consideres 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.

aa) Earnings per share

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.

ab) Insurance contracts

Oactivos impostoe passivos é reconhecido incluídos nademonstração num 'disposal

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.

Recognition and measurement

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.

Premiums

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 premiuns 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.

Liability adequacy test

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.

ac) Accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

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.

Impairment of financial assets available for-sale

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.

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.

Impairment losses on loans and advances to customers

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 value of derivatives

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.

Held-to-maturity investments

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.

Securitizations and special purpose entities (SPEs)

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 22, the following SPEs resulting from securitization transactions were included in the consolidation perimeter: NovaFinance n.4, Magellan n.2 and 3, Kion n.1 and 3 , Kion CLO Finance n.1, 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 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, that are exposed to the majority of the residual risks, neither is exposed to the performance of the credit portfolios.

Income taxes

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 efect at the level of the Financial Statements.

Pension and other employees" benefits

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.

Goodwill impairment

Goodwill recoverable amount recognised as an asset of the Group 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.

2. 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

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 referred in the accounting policy 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.

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, Millennium bank in Greece, 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.

Business segments activity

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, with the application in Portugal in 2011 and 2012 of the IRB Advanced method for the Retail portfolio in credit risk and the IRB Foundation method for loans to companies, excluding real estate promoters and entities of the simplified rating system. 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 nine months of 2011 and 2012, 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 2011 is presented on a comparable basis with the information reported in 2012, 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 and also the redeployment of cost of funds held under the rationalization of the business platform.

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 September 2012.

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, Greece, 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); the segment Greece contains the activity of Millennium Bank (Greece), while the segment Mozambique contains the activity of BIM - Banco Internacional de Moçambique and the segment Angola contains the activity of Banco Millennium Angola.
