BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

International Economy

The growth dynamics in the first half year were characterized by high volatility and heterogeneous behaviour amongst regions, but with a clearer slowing down trend towards the end of the period, especially in the euro zone and in the emerging markets.

In July, the IMF revised the growth prospects for 2014 to a lower basis, by 0.3pp, to 3.7%, largely due to the expected economic path for the USA and the emerging markets. For the euro zone, the revision is reflected in differences amongst countries, without changes in the union as a whole. The IMF maintains, however, its 4% growth prospects for 2015, based upon acceleration in all the regions of the world economy. The risks, however, are biased downwards, also due to the geopolitical risk in some world regions, the Ukrainian conflict being especially relevant in the case of Europe.

The USA contributed toward a greater slowdown in growth, since its GDP contracted, unexpectedly, in the first quarter, largely affected by adverse climatic conditions, which affected not just investment in construction, but equally household consumption. This effect has already been reversed in the second quarter, with a reacceleration in the GDP, which the IMF considers as opening up favourable perspectives for 2015.

The labour market, however, continues very dynamic, with an average monthly job growth of 230,000 since the beginning of the year, which caused a faster reduction in the rate of unemployment, to 6.2% in July.

As a result of this development the US Federal Reserve continued gradually reducing its volume of acquisition of financial assets ("tapering") to a monthly rate of 25 billion dollars. Should this reduction pace be kept up the current cycle of quantitative easing will be concluded by November. The internal debate still continues, however, as to the moment when reference interest rates will be raised, which investors believe could occur in the first half of 2015 but which they equally believe, as declared by Federal Reserve governors, could be gradually implemented, with the main reference interest rates remaining at low levels.

The discussion as to the beginning of this "tapering" process and its execution had a relevant impact on the emerging markets, which had benefited, in the previous years, from the liquidity generated by the intervention of the central banks. There was a massive outflow of funds from these markets, leading to exchange rate volatility and requiring interventions by the authorities, including increases in reference interest rates. South Africa, Turkey and even Brazil adopted measures, already this year, such as sharp increases in reference interest rates, in order to reverse the exchange depreciation that their currencies were experiencing.

As a result, a significant part of these funds was channelled to Europe, jointly contributing with the favourable economic data (at the beginning of the year), towards an increase in value of the equity markets and to the lowering of the medium and long term interest rates.

In the euro area, the half year began with a greater than expected dynamism, with most of the business indicators generally showing an acceleration of the activity and the subsequent upgrading in the growth perspectives. However, the situation was reversed in the second quarter and some countries witnessed a contraction in GDP, thus increasing the growth heterogeneity amongst the members of the euro zone, especially between Germany and other countries.

The new IMF forecasts for the growth of GDP in the euro zone in 2014 precisely reflect these differentiated dynamics. Although the projections for the euro zone as a whole remained unaltered at 1.1% as compared to the April scenario, there was an upgraded review in the case of Germany, compensated by a downgraded review for France and Italy, countries where the manufacturing sector has shown greater weakness.

This environment of below potential growth, but especially a faster slowing down in inflation that, in June, stood at 0.4%, led the European Central Bank to lower its reference interest rates and to announce an increased number of measures intended to re-launch bank credit and, through this, support economic growth and increase the rate of inflation.

The rate for refinancing operations was lowered to an historical minimum of 0.15% (a 10bp reduction), whilst the rate for the deposit facility with ECB became negative. With this measure the ECB will endeavour that the financial sector reduces its volumes of deposits with it (which has already been significantly reduced since the 2012 maximums) and channels such funds into the real economy. Simultaneously, ECB announced it would maintain its unlimited liquidity provision until end 2016.

The second package of measures announced consists of a number of targeted long term refinancing operations (TLTRO), through which the ECB will provide liquidity: (i) in a first stage up to an amount of 7% of the credit portfolio to companies and families (excluding mortgages); and (ii) in a second stage, up to 3 times the net lending, relative to a reference, defined as the cumulative net lending in the 12 months up to April 2014. These operations, limited to a maximum of 4 years, will have a fixed interest rate, equivalent to the refi rate at the moment the funds are committed, accrued by 0.1%. In the first stage the amount of eligible liquidity is, additionally, almost 400 billion euros.

ECB, in later communications, indicates that it intends obtaining information on the demand for liquidity in these new operations, before considering new support measures for European economic recovery. However, it will continue placing efforts to re-launch the market for credit securitization, especially credit for companies.

During the first half year equity markets appreciated to all time highs, especially in the USA, due to positive results and to a general feeling of optimism and lower aversion to risk. At the end of the half year, the aversion to risk returned, resulting in a downgrading of the main indices, with the Portuguese Stock Exchange index PSI20 especially affected due to the events related with Banco Espírito Santo.

Long term yields were corrected from the maximums shown at the beginning of the year, reacting to the less favourable economic data which became known during the second quarter, and later influenced by a movement of escape towards quality, within a framework of divestment from equity markets. This effect was more largely felt in Europe, with German yields reverting to minimum levels.

Portuguese Economy

At the end of the first half year, Portugal concluded the Programme of Economic and Financial Adjustment (PRFA), agreed with the international institutions in April 2011, within which it received financing amounting to approximately 76 billion euros.

Portugal dispensed with the last instalment of three billion euros, due to the decision of unconstitutionality, by the Constitutional Court, of the new rules covering cuts in salaries (which enlarged the scope of the cuts to include 650 euro monthly salaries). To conclude the 12th assessment and receive the final instalment, Portugal would have to extend the period of the programme and adopt, in a reduced period of delay, the compensatory measures.

During the first half year, the Treasury maintained its access to the international financial markets, with several 5 and 10 year medium and long term debt issues, which attracted relevant demand and progressively lower interest rates. In June, the Treasury carried out a 10 year issue with a 3.25% yield (which compares with a 5.11% issue in February). In July, and for the first time since 2010, the Treasury placed an issue in US Dollars at a rate of 5.23%.

During the first half of the year the economic environment was characterized by a more moderate growth than was the case in late 2013, and which featured several factors, such as the temporary close down for maintenance purposes of the Sines Refinery, which resulted in the reduction in the exports of energy products and consequent impact on growth. GDP shrank 0.6% in the first quarter of 2014, due in large measure to the above factor, but will have recovered in the second quarter after the reopening of the refinery.

Internal demand indicators continue showing a moderate recovery in activity. Private consumption has expanded moderately, as households begin to reset the expenditure levels they had cut down during 2011 and 2012. The lowering of the unemployment rate, which fell to 13.9% in the second quarter, recovering to 2011 levels, and due to job creation, contributed to consumer confidence. In spite of a slight decrease, the rate of savings continues at high levels, in excess of 12%.

Investment continued recovering, in spite of several projects being brought forward into 2013, as a result of fiscal incentives to capital expenditure. However, the investment survey carried out by the National Statistics Institute and published in July, shows greater investment intentions in the current year (+2.4%, compared to the previous estimate of +1.1%).

This improvement is shown, partly, in the dynamics of the new production of credit to companies. In spite of the volumes still being historically low, a homologous growth of approximately 5% was recorded in April and May. The survey on credit market conditions, published by the Bank of Portugal, also signals a moderation in the conditions of credit granting by the banks, as well as an increase in demand from companies.

However, total credit to companies continues decreasing, reflecting, on the one hand, the ongoing deleveraging in the economy and, on the other, specific factors, such as the Portuguese State assuming the financing of some public transportation companies.

The impact on the trade balance of the shrinkage in exports, associated to the technical close down of the Sines Refinery, cancelled the surplus balance achieved in the past year, with any improvement now dependent upon a recovery in exports.

The budgetary execution to June, as recorded by public accounts (on a cash basis) shows a deterioration in the budgetary balance as compared to the homologous period, resulting from increase in expenditure (including employee expenses) in spite of a growth in revenue, especially in Personal Income Tax and VAT.

Already in July the Government took a series of legislative measures with respect to salaries and pensions, with the new remuneration regime and the substitute for the extraordinary solidarity contribution, but which still require being validated by the Constitutional Court. Corrective measures which may still affect the 2014 budgetary execution shall only be applied after this decision is known.

The Republic's risk notation was upgraded by Moodys, to Ba1 (one level below investment grade), with a stable outlook. The remaining agencies maintained their ratings but revised the Outlook to stable.

Main risks and uncertainties in the second half of 2014

Risks and uncertainties that may affect business activity in the second half year are related to domestic and external factors.

Internationally, the risk factors are related with the weaker perspectives of economic growth, as shown in the review of the IMF forecasts. Growth in emerging markets continues below the average of latter years, and there are additional risks associated to the termination of the US Federal Reserve programme of acquisition of financial assets, which has already generated upheavals in the flow of funds between markets and financial assets.

In the euro zone, economic growth continues weak, and there are risks associated with the geopolitical instability in the Ukraine/Russia issue, which could also affect the Russian supplies of natural gas to Central and Eastern Europe. Such upheavals, in the past, promptly affected economic growth.

At national level there are two types of uncertainties. On the one hand, the sustainability of the recovery in economic activity. The improved development in the second quarter must still be perceived as stable, and economic recovery is dependent upon the improvement in the international economy and in the confidence of the economic stakeholders. At Summer's end, the preparation of the 2015 Government Budget, which assumes the reduction of the budgetary deficit from 4% to 2.5% of GDP, demands the adoption of additional measures which may also require assessment by the Constitutional Court.

The recent developments in the banking sector with the BES resolution and its split into a "bad bank" (BES, which holds the exposure to the Espírito Santo Group – GES – and to Angola, amongst others) and into a "New Bank" (which holds the remaining assets), may cause several risks to arise with impacts in the national as well as in the European financial systems.

In the latter case, because Portugal tested the new framework of banking resolution contained in the recently approved European Regulation, although this only comes into force in 2015. The new rules demand a bail-in process, before the possibility of the use of public funds. In the BES case, the bail-in affected the shareholders and the holders of subordinated bonds issued by the institution.

Domestically, because the share capital of the New Bank was ensured by the Resolution Fund, a body which is financed by the participating banks, although in this case transiently financed by a loan from the Portuguese Government. The risks associated to the sale of the New Bank are, ultimately, the responsibility of these institutions.

Still with regard to the financial sector, ECB will publish in October the results of the Asset Quality Review and the stress test it is carrying out jointly with the national supervisors and the European Banking Authority, before it assumes responsibility for the "Single Supervisory Mechanism". These tests will assess the capital adequacy of 130 European banks, including 4 national banking groups.

Consolidated Activity

Introduction

In a macroeconomic environment that continues extremely difficult, Banco Santander Totta keeps on demonstrating a strong capability of generating results, with no need to increase its share capital or to obtain any public aid, thus showing very comfortable solvency ratios as compared to the minimum levels required.

At the end of the first half of 2014, Banco Santander Totta achieved net income amounting to 81.3 million euros, a significant increase over the 24.2 million euros in the homologous period (+236.2%). This evolution reflected the increase in recurring revenue, in which stood out the 8.0% growth in net interest income, the improvement of operational efficiency and the reduction in appropriations for impairments, notwithstanding a prudent risk and provisioning policy.

The credit portfolio stood at 26.8 billion euros at the end of June 2014, a homologous 3.5% decrease, within the context of a heavy reduction in the whole of the banking system, although credit granted to companies remained relatively stable throughout the first six months of the year.

The credit at risk ratio decreased to 5.7%, as compared to the 5.9% recorded at the end of the past year, although showing a slight increase relative to the 5.4% shown in June 2013.

Customer's resources stood at 25.5 billion euros, a -5.3% variation as compared with that of the homologous period, although with a favourable development in investment and private and business deposits.

The transformation ratio, measured by the weight of net credit on deposits, stood at 126.7%, at the end of the first half of 2014.

The CET I (Common Equity Tier I) ratio, in line with the CRD IV/CRR rules for 2014, stood at 12.6%, greatly above the minimum 8% value. CET I ratio, fully implemented, stood at 10.5%.

During the first half of 2014, the Bank went back to the international markets through issues of mortgage bonds: one billion euros at 3 years with a 1.5% coupon at the end of the first quarter, and 750 million euros at 5 years, with a 1.625% coupon, at the beginning of June. In both issues demand largely exceeded the offer and spreads were 88 and 93 basis points, at 3 and 5 years respectively, these levels significantly below the Republic's cost of financing. With these issues the net financing obtained with the Eurosystem stood at 3.3 billion euros, a reduction of 2.3 billion euros compared to the homologous period and of 1.8 billion euros, relative to March 2014.

The rating of Banco Santander Totta is the best within the financial system. At the beginning of July, Fitch upgraded the Bank's short and long term ratings, with the outlook going from negative to positive. The current rating notations of the long term debt of Banco Santander Totta as compared with the ratings of the Republic are the following: Fitch – BBB (Portugal – BB+); Moody's – Ba1 (Portugal – Ba1); S&P – BB (Portugal – BB); and DBRS – BBBH (Portugal – BBBL)

Net Income 81.3 24.2 +236.2%

Net interest income amounted to 266.3 million euros at the end of June 2014, an 8.0% homologous increase, which benefited from the decrease in finance costs, especially in the case of deposits.

Net commissions and other results of the banking business amounted to 122.3 million euros, an homologous variation of -26.2%, as compared with the amount shown in June 2013, mainly due to the impact attributable to regulatory changes which limited administratively the capabilities to collect commissions, especially from the third quarter of 2013, as well as the conservative position adopted

by the Bank with reference to the potential devaluation of the assets of Novimovest real estate investment fund, which was consolidated in the Bank's accounts in the second half of 2013. Commercial revenue stood at 389.7 million euros, a 5.7% homologous decrease.

The results of financial transactions stood at 79.9 million euros, an expressive increase in homologous terms, especially due to the recording of income obtained from the securities' portfolio, which was however cancelled by the setting up of voluntary provision. The development of revenue led resulted in operating income amounting to 469.6

million euros, 11.0% above the value shown at the end of the first half year of 2013.

Operating expenses amounted to 244.0 million euros, recording a 3.2% increase compared to June 2013. This development is due to the impact of an extraordinary depreciation, amounting to 13.7 million euros, related to the change in the useful life of several software applications, from 5 to 3 years (a 29.7% increase in depreciation),

which will result in a future reduction in depreciation costs. In turn, personnel expenses and general expenses recorded variations of -2.6% and +3.1%, respectively.

Personnel Expenses (135.4) (139.1) -2.6%

Efficiency Ratio (excludes depreciation) 43.5% 48.7% -5.2 p.p.
Efficiency Ratio (includes depreciation) 52.0% 55.9% -3.9 p.p.

At the end of the first half of 2014, the efficiency ratio, which shows operating expenses as a proportion of operating income, stood at 52.0%, thus leading to a 3.9 p.p. improvement relative to June 2013, shown by variations of +11.0% in revenues and +3.2% in operating expenses.

Net operating income amounted to 225.6 million euros, above the 186.5 million euros recorded in the 2013 homologous period (+21.0%).

EFFICIENCY RATIO

Standing out in terms of productivity indicators is the favourable variation of credit per branch, an important feature in an environment of large

reductions in credit granted and in branches viewed in the banking sector.

Resources per Branch(2) 40.7 41.4 -1.5%

(1) Includes guarantees

(2) Includes branches, corporate centers and representative offices

Appropriations for impairment and net provisions amounted to 113.9 million euros, compared with 147.5 million euros recorded in the homologous period, a -22.7% variation. This evolution resulted from the slowing down of new inputs in nonperforming loans, deriving from the implementation of a conservative credit granting policy and from an efficient methodology for the control and follow-up of overdue credit.

The results of associate companies recognized by the equity method, amounting to 6.9 million euros, grew by 7.1% compared to the value achieved in June 2013, incorporating the result of the shareholding in Banco Caixa Geral Totta de Angola, in Unicre-Instituição Financeira de Crédito, and in Partang, amongst other lesser participations.

At the end of June 2014, income before taxes and minority interests amounting to 118.6 million, showed an increase of 160.6%, relative to June 2013.

Banco Santander Totta recorded net income amounting to 81.3 million euros, at the end of the first half of 2014, as compared with 24.2 million euros recorded at end-June 2013, a homologous variation of +236.2%.

Accounts and Business Activity

At the end of June 2014, the volume of business amounted to 53.4 billion euros, a 4.4% decrease as compared to the value recorded in the first half of 2013.

BUSINESS AREAS

Private and Business

During the first half of 2014, the Bank was largely focused on resources, implementing a policy of capture and retention of value added products and also in the diversification of customer portfolios, namely in financial investments and investment funds. Also outstanding was the focus kept on new domiciling of salaries, on the underwriting of protection insurance (autonomous insurance) and on credit cards.

In the field of support to families and their projects, through the granting of personal credit, and of credit granted to micro and small and medium sized companies, productions achieved amounted to 235.7 million euros in personal credit and 725.5 million euros in credit to the Business and SME segments.

Due to the good results obtained in prior years, the campaign for the capture of salaries/pensions, based on the exemption of commissions on the main day-to-day services and in gift offerings, was maintained.

Also in the support for families through savings, the Bank continued to privilege these through the offer of programmed savings products, structured deposits and financial insurance.

Private Banking and Select

In the Private Banking area, the soundness of Banco Santander Totta, the consultancy model and the external recognition by the prestigious Euromaney magazine, which, for the third consecutive time, recognized the Santander Totta Private Banking as the "Best Private Banking in Portugal", contributed decisively towards the significant growth in the segment's business volume, through the capturing of new customers and the improvement in business profitability.

The Select label (new corporate denomination for the Premium segment) was launched in February, with specific products made available for this segment, amongst which stand out: personal credit allowing a discount in the interest rate in the case of salaries domiciled with the Bank; access to very competitive interest rates; "Crédito Liquidez Plus" ("Liquidity Credit Plus") for customers with

financial applications, funds and several traditional savings products, such as "Select Programmed Plans" deposits, or the "New Select" deposit. On the launching date, the Select segment comprised 9% of the private customers of the Bank in Portugal.

Companies

In the Companies area, the first half of the year confirms the Bank's commitment to the support of entrepreneurial activity, investing in critical sectors of the Portuguese Economy, such as the exports sector, both in international business and in the support for internationalization, and in sectors of transactional goods that may benefit from the improvement in the rating of the Republic and in the prospect of the gradual recovery of investments by the economic stakeholders.

With the encouraging signals in the recovery of the Portuguese economy, Banco Santander Totta strengthened the Companies Commercial Network, opening, in the beginning of 2014, three new Company Commercial Departments (Paredes, São João da Madeira and Torres Vedras), investing in greater customer proximity.

The first half of the year was characterized by a greater pressure on price levels, reflecting the enlarged availability in the offer of banking services in the Companies segment. In this environment, the Companies Network kept to its line of action, investing in the growth of the credit portfolio, safeguarding the balanced management of volumes in the credit portfolio and in resources. In this particular issue, and throughout the first half year, the Companies Network achieved a credit production in excess of 2.4 billion euros.

Within the scope of the protocol subscribed with the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Bank made available a line of credit that allows access to credit in preferential conditions. This line is intended to support projects located in any State of the European Union, in several sectors of the economy (agriculture, industry, services), and preferably covering the SME and MIDCAPS market segments. At the end of June approximately 71% of the total contracted amount of the EIB line was already fulfilled.

In the SME Invest/Growth lines, Banco Santander Totta has an important standing with a 17% market share, and placed approximately twenty thousand operations until June, amounting to more than 1.9 billion euros. In the 2014 SME Growth line, which commenced being marketed in March, the Bank has equally positioned itself above its market share, obtaining a 15% franchise in the amount of financed operations presented in the Mutual Guarantee Societies. Santander Totta is the leader in the SME Extension line, with a 41% rate of adhesion.

In factoring and confirming, the Bank is also the market leader with an aggregate share of 25.2% (April 2014 data), which demonstrates the Bank's commitment in the effective support to company activity.

In the international business segment, the site SantanderTrade.com was launched at the end of 2013, a tool that provides access to external markets by customers searching for new business opportunities. With this site the Bank's ambition is to become the main partner of companies in the development of their international business. In short, the site offers an adequate and relevant volume of information in all sectors of trade, in more than 186 countries, this tool comprising more than 40 data bases, including governmental data.

Additionally, and aiming towards supporting the internationalization of Portuguese companies, the Bank has made available the International Desk unit, the objective of which is to aid, facilitate and establish trade contacts through the effective interconnection of the Company Network with its counterparts in the several international banks included in the Santander Group, enabling the use of its international dimension (mainly featuring Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Colombia, Angola and Spain) to increase the effectiveness of the international business of Portuguese companies.

Promoters and Brokers

With respect to External Promoters, the established strategy was materialized by the launching of several initiatives with the objective to reward and recognize the best performances in various business features, such as capturing customers, resources, personal credit and credit for the Business segment, thus setting up the best conditions for these partners to remain focused and identified with the Bank's main priorities.

In the Promoter Shop project, considering the Country's macroeconomic environment and the Bank's strategy relative to branch cover, it was decided to strengthen this network still further with new openings throughout the year.

As to Real Estate Brokers, the first half of 2014 was featured by the resurgence of growth dynamics in mortgage loans, very visible in the launching of "Home Solutions". A full analysis was carried out in the brokers' portfolio with active protocols, and meetings were held with the main real estate networks in order to once again steamline this type of partners.

Complementary Channels

The Self Banking activity was based upon a strategy to optimize the current ATM Network, namely the uninstalling of equipment with negative profitability. As a consequence market shares stood at 12% in number of ATM´s and at 13% relative to the number of transactions.

Regarding customer proximity, adjustment and increment of solutions for deposit automation was continued, with 560 items of equipment installed covering approximately 80% of the branch network.

Outstanding in the Internet channels is the availability of a new public page in NetBanco Private and in NetBanco Companies, with improved browsing and based on the most recent technology. Visual components were strengthened to simplify the pages and improve their usage. Standing out in NetBanco Companies is also the launching of the Santander Trade Site and the manual setting up of SEPA lot transfers, and, in NetBanco Private/Companies the adaptation of adjustments in SEPA related operational actions. In NetBanco Private the site was adapted to the Select label and to the availability of funds for this segment.

Improvements were recorded in the availability and performance of the websites as well as a growth in traffic, with the number of individual visitors increasing by 3%. The number of frequent users of Netbanco Private recorded a 3% growth in the first 5 months of 2014 and the rate of penetration increased by 6% in the same period. Equally recorded was an increase in the number of customers carrying out transactions.

In the first half of 2014, the Santander Totta Contact Centre was considered for the 6th consecutive year, the "Best Portuguese Contact Centre in the Financial Sector", a prize attributed by the Portuguese Association of Contact Centres.

A multichannel view was implemented, in order to ensure the experience of a customer of reference, and to increase effectiveness and profitability.

The Contact Centre has strengthened investment in the increase of its autonomy and in the swift resolution of all situations presented by the customers. All customers' requests even if without the scope of the Contact Centre, are followed up by the competent areas.

An increase in the use of chat as a means of contact by the customers is being confirmed, as compared to the homologous period.

Throughout 2014 the launching of new initiatives was featured in the Facebook pages. The number of fans of the Bank's official page has already exceeded 60,000.

International Business Activity

The international business activity of Banco Santander Totta, for customers residing abroad, recorded a positive evolution, in line with activity indicators that show greater customer binding and loyalty.

In close connection with the commercial network in Portugal, solutions directed towards the segment of customers residing abroad were made available, offering savings products in the more significant currencies, with a continued good growth rate of new customers.

Business volume recorded stability and, in spite of the aggressive offer of passive interest rates by some of the main competitors, it was possible to

maintain and stabilize the resource portfolio, especially in the latter part of the half year.

In the area of community relationships, several events were carried out, namely in Paris, with participation in the Real Estate Exhibition, and in London, taking part in the 10th Annual Conference of the Luso-British Chamber of Commerce.

A Summer campaign was once again launched that intends, in a structured form, to welcome the Portuguese who reside abroad. The promotion of Bank services and support will enjoy greater visibility in national airports and means of communication, providing an enlarged range of savings products.

In parallel, and in order to support Portuguese who leave the Country to reside and work abroad, a supplement was developed, with the collaboration of the newspaper "Mundo Português" ("Portuguese World"), which illustrates the reality and main features of the main emigration destinations and where the Bank is represented.

Within the scope of the promotion and offer of services for the community abroad, and taking advantage of the world soccer championship, a competition was launched that aimed to streamline transfers to Portugal and which obtained a large adhesion, with a 23% increase in transfers to the Bank, as compared to the homologous period.

The London Branch has been showing stability in the volume of deposits and control of the credit portfolio, strongly supporting the branches in Portugal.

Global Banking & Markets

Corporate Finance, in the first half of the year, stood out as joint leader in several successfully concluded operations, with special reference to the participations in the placing syndicate of the Initial Public Offer of ESS – Espírito Santo Saúde and in the placing syndicate of the public sales offer of REN shares, within the scope of the 2nd stage in the company's privatization.

In the Credit Markets area the strengthening of the business was maintained, with companies taking advantage of the decreasing trend in credit spreads to take decisions on the extension of their

indebtedness. Additionally, a positive evolution came about in the area of Project Finance with companies exploiting opportunities for the financing of new projects.

Bond and securitization markets experienced firm dynamics with both national and international investors regarding Portugal with great interest and searching for good investment opportunities. An improvement in market conditions occurred, allowing unrated medium sized companies to access the bond market, some for the first time .

The Structured Products area showed good performance at the beginning of 2014, with the marketing of passive products. Twelve structured products were issued in the first half of the year, of which 10 were issued in euros amounting to a total of 375 million euros and 2 issued in US Dollars, amounting to a total of 30 .1 million US Dollars. The issues placed in this period are indexed to different assets transacted in several worldwide shareholder markets.

In February 2014, Banco Santander Totta was distinguished by "Euromoney Structured Retail Products " as the "Best Sales in Portugal" of structured products in Portugal.

In the first half year, the Cash Equities activity was featured by a clearly better provision than in the homologous period of the previous year, which resulted not just in increased volumes but also with commissions generated in the shareholder market. The debt market continues attracting lower interest with investors. The still latent geopolitical crises in Europe continued conditioning the market sensitivity, with an increase in volatility which became more evident from May onwards .

Santander Totta International Custody recorded a 10% increase in volume of assets under custody in the last quarter and 15 .6%, in the year, according to data made available by CMVM ( Securities Market Regulator), which is construed as a 21.3% market share in the custody activity.

Outlook for the 2nd half of 201 4

The Portuguese economy has been showing signs of moderate recovery but relevant macroeconomic risk factors still subsist which equally concern the financial system .

In the last few years which have been featured by a particularly adverse e nvironment, Banco Santander Totta demonstrated its revenue generating capability, maintaining the soundness of its accounts and a comfortable liquidity situation.

The introduction of new rules in the banking sector, specifically with reference to capital requisites, liquidity and leveraging ratios, and also the new rulings relative to resolution mechanisms, have, and will continue having, a structural impact in the profitability of the financial institutions .

In this difficult and highly demanding context, the Bank will continue focusing its strategy in the support to revitalize the Portuguese economy and companies, maintaining a policy of strict control of the risks associated with the granting and follow up of credit .

Simultaneously, the Bank will pursue its co mmercial banking strategy based upon greater customer proximity, and present adequate solutions for each business segment with the objective of incrementing the levels of customer binding and to endeavour their considering Santander Totta as their prime bank . This strategy will be based on simplifying procedures, ensuring their greater efficiency; in the use of tools that allow improving information management ; and streamlining risk management, with models better adjusted to each customer segment, keeping to a prudent and strict control of the accepted risks .

In spite of the branch network continuing as a fundamental channel in ensuring customer relations, the Bank will keep on streamlining the multichannel distribution model in order to provide customers with an improved and more accessible service .

RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit Risk

Main vectors of activity

In the first half of 2014 the activity of the Credit Risk area continued based on maintaining the principle of segmentation in the treatment of risks, diversifying their approach in line with the features of customers and products.

The strictness in the acceptance criteria and consequently the quality of the accepted risks in each of the segments, aiming to preserve the high degree of quality of the credit portfolio, continues to be the strategic vector of the operation.

Regarding portfolio risks, customer proximity was intensified in order to anticipate their credit requirements, to revise their lines of credit and possible problems in their reimbursement capabilities. This action was materialized in the maintenance of ratios of non-performing loans and of credit at risk significantly lower than the average for the sector. On another hand support levels were intensified in the capturing of new operations and new low risk customers, and improvements were implemented in the procedures in order to answer customers' requests with greater effectiveness and swiftness.

Concerning the function of following up portfolios and customers, focus was maintained in the supervision of segments with lower ratings and in sectors which are more affected by the macroeconomic environment. The permanent review of all portfolios allows concluding that these are analysed with adequate criteria and that the level of estimated impairments is equally adequate.

During the half year a very similar follow up was pursued over measures implemented in 2013 in the acceptance procedures of new credits aiming to improve the quality of the service rendered to customers whenever these present new business opportunities.

Concerning Standardized Risks, and considering the current difficult macroeconomic context, the main focus was kept on the maintenance of the portfolio's quality level, by making available a set of products and solutions for debt restructuring that allow adapting customers' expenditure to

their reimbursement capacity and current and future available income.

In this sense acceptance strategies have been established, integrated in the Bank's decision systems, and behavioural systems used for the identification of preventive and renewal measures to offer customers.

Still concerning standardized risks, the Bank continued being selective in credit acceptances in terms of risk and profitability, making use of the automatic decision systems in force, specifically scorings and behavioural systems used in the Private and Business segments.

With the objective to strengthen commercial involvement and customer cross selling and simultaneously increase the effectiveness of capturing new customers, the "Spring Credit" campaign was kept in operation in the Business sector, in its features of activation, capturing and placing of secured current accounts in order to increase the growth potential of this portfolio.

The recoveries activity was strengthened and streamlined, namely through computerized developments that aim controlling the procedure from the entry into recovery, to relations with attorneys and executive action. Outstanding is the activity of massive management of recoveries, simultaneously following up special and judicial or pre-judicial cases, and a reinforced negotiation policy aiming towards payment endowments as an alternative to court actions.

With respect to solvency and credit control, focus was permanently kept on the knowledge and follow up of credit portfolios, aiming towards a strict control of the attached risk, endeavouring to provide adequate and timely management information, in order to allow measures being taken towards an orderly management of the Bank's risks.

Equally surveyed were the Bank's internal models, most of which already recognized (by the regulators) as advanced models (IRB) for the purposes of establishing equity requirements, as well as their ever greater inclusion in management procedures.

Risk model

Introduction

Credit risk arises from the possibility of losses derived from total or partial non-performance of the financial liabilities contracted with the Bank by its customers.

The organization of the credit risk function in Santander Totta is specialized in line with customer types and is differentiated, throughout all the risk management process, between customers in portfolio and standardized customers (not in portfolio):

  • Customers within the portfolio are those that, fundamentally due to the accepted risk, have been attributed a risk analyst. Included in this group are companies comprised in wholesale banking groups, financial institutions and some of the companies comprised in retail banking groups. Risk assessment of these customers is carried out by the analyst, complemented by decision supporting tools based on internal models of risk evaluation;
  • Standardized customers are those that have not been assigned a specific analyst. Included in this group are risks with private customers, self-employed entrepreneurs, and the companies comprised in retail banking groups that are not included in the portfolio. Assessment of these risks is based on internal evaluation models and automatic decision, alternatively complemented, when the model is not sufficiently precise, with teams of specialized risk analysts.

Parameters of credit risk

The valuing of the customer and/or operation, through rating or scoring, is an assessment of credit capacity, which is quantified through the probability of default (PD). In addition to the valuing of the customer, the quantitative risk analysis takes into account other features such as the term of the operation, the type of product and the existing guarantees. As such, not only the probability of default is taken into account but also the exposure at default (EAD) as well as the proportion of loss given default (LGD).

All these factors (PD, LGD and EAD) that constitute the main parameters of credit risk, allow with their grouping the establishing of the expected and non-expected loss. The expected loss (or probable loss) is considered as a further activity cost (thus

reflecting the risk premium), with this cost being included in the price of the operations.

The computation of the unexpected loss, which is the basis of the measurement of the regulatory capital in line with the standards of the Basle capital agreement, is referred to an extremely high loss level, however not very probable, which, accounting to its nature, is not considered as recurrent and must thus be covered by equity funds.

In small and medium sized companies, information obtained from their accounts is used not only to attribute a rating, but also to obtain explanatory factors relative to the probability of default. In retail portfolios, PD is computed by viewing the entries in non-performing loans and correlating these with the scoring attributed to the operations. Excepted from this principle are portfolios which, derived from lesser internal default experience, such as financial institutions or Global Retail Banking, computing is carried out based upon alternative sources of information, such as market prices or assessments by experienced and recognizably competent agencies with a portfolio containing a sufficient number of entities (such portfolios are known as low default portfolios).

LGD estimates are based on the observation of the recovery procedures of operations in default, taking into consideration not just revenues and expenses associated to this process, but also the moment when the same are produced and the indirect expenses that derive from the recovery activity.

Measurement of EAD is based upon the use of committed lines at the time of default and in a normal situation, in order to identify the real consumption of the lines at the moment of default.

Estimated parameters are immediately attached to operations which are in normal situations, and are differentiated between the low default portfolios and the remainder.

Credit risk cycle

The risk management procedure consist in identifying, measuring, analysing, controlling, negotiating and deciding, in line with the risks accepted by the Bank.

This process is commenced in the business areas. Risks are analysed and decided upon in specific committees, which act through competences

delegated by the Executive Committee on the Higher Credit Committee (CSC). CSC establishes the risk policies and procedures and the limits of the mandates.

Planning and establishing limits

Establishing risk limits is conceived as a dynamic procedure which identifies the risk profile that the Bank is liable to accept, through the assessment of business proposals and the opinion of the Risks area.

A pre-classification model is used in the case of large corporate groups, based upon a measurement and follow up system of economic capital.

In risks included in a portfolio, the most basic level is that of the customer and when certain circumstances occur – generally a level of relative importance – the latter is the object of an individual limit, normally known as a preclassification, through a more simplified system, and normally for those customers that comply with specific requisites (adequate knowledge, rating, etc.).

With reference to standardized risks, the procedure of planning and establishing limits is carried out through the joint preparation, by the Risks and Business areas, of programmes of credit management (PCM) where the expected results of the business in terms of risk and profitability are reflected, as well as the limits to which must be submitted the related activity and risk management.

Risk assessment, decision on operations, follow up and control

Risk assessment is a prior requisite to the authorization of any credit operation in Banco Santander Totta. This assessment consists of the analysis of the customer's capability to comply with the contractual commitments assumed with the Bank, which implies analysing the customer's credit quality, its credit operations, its solvency and profitability. Additionally, an assessment and review is also carried out on the attributed rating, whenever an alert or event arises that may affect the customer/operation.

The decision procedure on operations has the objective to analyse and take the respective decision, considering the risk profile and the

operation's relevant components, in order to establish a balance between its risk and profitability.

In order to maintain adequate control of the portfolio's credit quality, in addition to the actions developed by Internal Audit, a specific following up function has been established within the Risks area, staffed by its own teams and responsible officers. This function is also specialized in customer segmentation and is fundamentally based on a continuous observation procedure which allows the anticipated detection of incidences that may occur in the evolution of the risk, on the operation and on the customer, aiming to undertake, in anticipation, the necessary mitigating actions.

Recoveries

Recoveries management in Santander Totta is a strategic, integral and business activity. The specific objectives of the recoveries process are the following:

  • Ensure the collection or the settlement of amounts in irregular situations, with preference for negotiated solutions, in order to regularize the customer's credit portfolio. Should the negotiated solution not prove possible, the Recoveries area will endeavour to recover the credits through the courts of law;
  • Maintain and strengthen customer relations, cautioning its behaviour in line with the commitments that were contractually agreed with the Bank.

Recoveries activity is structured in line with the customers' commercial segmentation: Private, Business and Companies, with specific management models. The recoveries' management, thus segmented, also respects the distinct management stages: preventive management, management of irregulars and management of tardy payers and bankruptcies, which have specific models, strategies and circuits. All this activity is shared with the business areas.

Counterparty Risk

Counterparty risk, dormant in contracts carried out in financial markets – organized markets or over the counter (OTC) – corresponds to the possibility of default by the counterparties over the

contractual terms and subsequent occurrence of financial losses for the institution.

Types of transactions comprised include the purchase and sale of securities, operations in the interbank monetary market, contracting of "repos", loans of securities and derivative instruments.

Control of such risks is carried out through an integrated system that allows recording the approved limits and provides information on their availability for different products and maturities. The same system also allows the transversal control of risk concentration for certain groups of customers and/or counterparties

Risks in derivative positions, known as Credit Risk Equivalent (CRE), is the sum total of the Present Value of each contract (or Current Replacement Cost) and the respective risk potential, a component that reflects an estimate of the maximum expected value until maturity, according to the underlying volatilities of the market factors and the contracted flow structure.

During the first half of 2014, the present value of transactions on the indexing factors of interest rates (Euribor) generally recorded an increase, reflecting the movements of the medium and long terms market rates. With respect to the exposure to financial groups, a reduction was verified in the transactions carried out to cover the structural risk of interest rates with relatively low exposures being kept in line with the collateral providing agreements (ISDA Master Agreements/Credit Support Annex).

Balance Sheet Risk

The management of structural risk is ensured by a body in the first level of the Bank's organization and the decisions are taken by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO), with powers delegated by the Executive Committee. This body is presided by the Chairman of the Executive Committee and comprises the directors responsible for the Financial, Risk, Commercial and Marketing areas. This Committee meets on a monthly basis.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk in the consolidated balance sheet is measured through a model of dynamic risk analysis, modelling the timing variations of risk factors and the Bank's positions over assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rate variations. The model in use allows the measuring and control of the factors linked to the balance sheet market risk, namely the risks originating directly from the movement of the income curve, given the structure of the indexing factors and existing reappreciation.

Considering the uncertainty in the variation of interest rate levels for 2014, the policy followed was to keep sensitivity at the levels considered as adequate.

Exchange Rate Risk

The exchange rate risk of commercial activity is measured and controlled by the global exchange position, the Group's strategy being its total coverage

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity policy followed by the Group is based upon a low liquidity risk and the continuous diversification of the sources of finance, placing into perspective the volume and nature of the financing instruments used to allow the achievement and the development under good conditions of the established business plan.

By keeping to a conservative profile, the Bank is better protected with respect to potential crises that affect its environment.

The policy of a financing mix is always based on an adequate level of liquidity risk, in line with the established limits and will be assessed monthly by ALCO. The limits of liquidity risks are established by an independent management body which, apart from other indicators, demands a reasonable amount of available liquid assets.

Liquidity management is carried out at the consolidated level. Financial policy takes into consideration the variations of the balance sheet components, the structural situations of the maturities of assets and liabilities, the level of interbank indebtedness relative to the available lines, the spread of maturities and the minimization of expenditure related to the funding activity. The structural liquidity situation is fully balanced. In June 2014 the Bank showed an asset situation in

the short term monetary market of approximately 599 million euros.

Throughout the first half of 2014, the Bank materialized two issues of mortgage bonds amounting to one billion euros (at 3 years) and 750 million euros (at 5 years). These issues recorded a heavy demand from a diversified number of investors, with spreads of 88bps and 93bps, respectively.

The ECB continued assuming itself as the counterparty to the system through lending operations and absorbing liquidity. To take part in these operations it is necessary to hold assets considered eligible by the ECB to be given as collateral. In June 2014, the Bank held 11.7 billion euros in eligible assets that constitute a very comfortable liquidity reserve. In turn, the net resources obtained with the Eurosystem attained 3.3 billion, an annual reduction of 2.3 billion euros and a quarterly reduction of 1.8 billion euros.

Market Risks

Activities subject to market risk

The perimeter of measurement, control and follow up of financial risks comprises operations where asset risks are assumed. This risk derives from the variation in risk factors – interest rate, exchange rate, variable income and their respective volatility – as well as the solvency risk and the liquidity risk of the several products and markets in which Santander Totta operates.

As a function of the risk objectives, activities are segmented as follows:

  • Negotiation: This heading includes the financial services provided to customers;
  • Balance Sheet Management: Interest rate and liquidity risk arise as a result from the timing differentials existing in maturities and re-pricing of assets and liabilities. Additionally, this heading includes the active management of the credit risk inherent to Santander Totta's accounts.
  • Structural Risks:
  • Structural Exchange rate risk: Exchange rate risks resulting from the currencies in which investments are placed in consolidated or non-consolidated companies;
  • Structural variable income: comprised in this heading are investments in shareholdings in

companies that do not consolidate, financial or non-financial, generating a risk of variable income.

Methodologies

Negotiation Activity

The methodology applied, within the scope of Banco Santander Totta, for the negotiation activity, is the Value at Risk (VaR). Used as a basis is the methodology of historic simulation with a 99% level of confidence and a one day time horizon, with statistical adjustments applied that allow a swift and effective inclusion of the more recent events that condition the assumed risk levels.

Stress Testing is used as a complement, consisting in the definition of behavioural scenarios of differing financial variables and obtaining the respective impact on results when applying these to the portfolios. These scenarios may replicate the behaviour of financial variables relative to past factual events (such as crises) or, on the contrary, may determine plausible scenarios that do not correspond to past events. In short, the analysis of scenarios endeavours to identify the potential risk over extreme market conditions and in the fringes of occurrence probabilities not covered by VaR.

Also estimated are several sensibility measures (BPV and Greeks) and equivalent volumes.

In parallel, a daily accompaniment of positions takes place, by carrying out an exhaustive control of the changes that occur in the portfolios, aiming to detect changes in profile or possible incidences for their correction. The daily preparation of the profit and loss account is a risk indicator, insofar as it allows identifying the impact of the movements in the financial variables or the changes in the make-up of the portfolios.

Calibration and contrast measures (Backtesting)

The reliability of the VaR model is periodically checked through a backtesting analysis. Backtesting consists of a comparative analysis between the Value at Risk estimates and the daily "clean" trial balances (clean P&L - result related to the reassessment of the closing portfolios of the previous day at the closing prices of the following day), where the spot/sporadic variances of the recorded results compared to the estimated measures are analysed.

The backtesting analyses carried out in Santander Totta comply with the BIS recommendations, as regards the comparison of the internal systems used in the measurement and management of financial risks. Additionally, backtesting includes hypothetical tests: excess tests, normality tests, measures of average excess, etc.

Limits

Quantitative limits for negotiation portfolios, which are classified in two groups, are established in line with the following objectives:

  • Limits intended to protect the volume of potential future losses. Instances of such limits are the VaR limits, over sensibility measures (BPV and Greeks) or other equivalent positions;
  • Limits intended to protect/accommodate the volume of effective losses or to protect levels of results already achieved during the period. These types of limits aim to generate alerts on positions that are generating losses (loss triggers), allowing decisions to be taken before the limit of maximum loss is reached (stop loss), from which point it will be considered that losses will have reached unacceptable levels and the positions will be immediately closed.

Quantitative analysis of VaR throughout the year

The evolution of the risk relative to negotiation activity during the first half of 2014, quantified through VaR was that described in the following chart:

VaR was kept at reduced levels, varying between 9,000 and 42,000 euros.

Operational Risk

Definition and objectives

Santander Totta defines Operational Risk as "the risk of loss arising from deficiencies or failures in internal procedures, human resources or systems, or derived from external circumstances". This is generally a risk differing from other types of risks, that is not related to products or business, but which arises in processes and/or assets, and is internally generated (people, systems, etc.) or as a consequence of external risks such as natural catastrophes.

The management and control of operational risk is directed towards the identification, measurement, assessment, control and mitigation and information concerning this risk.

The priority approach is thus to identify and eliminate risk centres, independently from losses having occurred or not. Its measurement has also contributed towards the establishment of priorities in the management of operational risk.

To estimate the equity value required to cover operational risk the Group opted in a first stage for the method foreseen in the BIS II standards

Management model

The organizational management and control model results from the adaptation of the Group's approach to Basle II.

Supervision and control of operational risk is practised through its governing bodies. As such, the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee periodically include in their agendas the treatment of relevant features in the management and mitigation of operational risk.

The management and control of operational risk is the responsibility of all the Bank's areas, since these have the better knowledge of the processes, as well as of those items that are susceptible to cause relevant exposures to operational risk. These are accompanied by a central area, responsible for the implementation and follow up of the project through control and supervision.

The different stages of the management model allow:

  • Identifying the operational risk inherent to all the Bank's activities, products, processes and systems;
  • To measure and assess the operational risk objectively, continually and coherently with the Basle II standards, define objectives, analyse the risk profile and define the respective limits;
  • Carry out the continuous follow up of exposures to operational risk with the objective to detect risk levels that have not been assumed;
  • Implement control procedures, improving the information available on the origins of the operational risk as well as the respective implications;
  • Establish the mitigating measures to eliminate or minimize the operational risk.

The control model of the operational risk that was implemented has the following advantages:

  • Allows a comprehensive and effective management of the operational risk (identification, measurement/assessment, control/mitigation and information);
  • It allows an improvement concerning the information available on the operational risks, whether effective or potential, and their being framed in the business and support lines;
  • Information on operational risk contributes towards improving processes and controls, reduce losses and revenue volatility.

Limits to operational risk are annually established. An appetite for risk is equally established, which must always be set in the low/medium-low bracket profile.

Governance Practices and Internal Control Model

The structure of the Company's Governance as well as policies, procedures and offices of internal control have not sustained any changes relative to the information detailed in the 2013 Annual Report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

INTRODUCTION

Banco Santander Totta, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as the "Bank", "BST" or "Group") previously known as Companhia Geral de Crédito Predial Português, S.A. ("CPP"), was founded in 1864 and has its registered office in Portugal, in Rua do Ouro, nº 88, Lisboa. The Bank was nationalized in 1975 and transformed into a government owned corporation in 1990. On December 2, 1992 the Bank's capital was re-privatized through an Initial Public Offering carried out in a special session of the Lisbon Stock Exchange.

Since December 2000, following the acquisition of Banco Totta & Açores, S.A. ("Totta") by the Santander Group, the Bank has been part of the Santander Group. The main balances and transactions with companies of the Santander Group during the first semester of 2014 and the year of 2013 are detailed in Note 46.

On December 16, 2004, a demerger/merger operation of Totta was carried out, under which its investments in Foggia, SGPS, S.A. and Totta Seguros – Companhia de Seguros de Vida, S.A. were demerged and the remainder of its operations, together with Banco Santander Portugal, S.A. ("BSP"), were merged into CPP, which then changed its name to the current one.

On May 3, 2010, the Bank carried out the merger by incorporation of Banco Santander de Negócios Portugal, S.A. ("BSN"). For accounting purposes the operation was recorded as from January 1, 2010.

On April 1, 2011, the Bank carried out the merger by incorporation of Totta Crédito Especializado – Instituição Financeira de Crédito, S.A. ("Totta IFIC"). For accounting and tax purposes the operation was reported as from April 1, 2011, which was the date of registration.

The Bank's operations consist in obtaining funds from third parties, in the form of deposits and other, to apply along with its own funds, in all sectors of the economy, mostly in the form of loans granted or securities and providing other banking services in Portugal and abroad.

The Bank has a domestic network of 587 branches (604 branches as at December 31, 2013) and also has a branch in London, as well as an international financial branch in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The Bank has also subsidiaries and representation offices abroad as well as investments in subsidiaries and associated companies.

1. BASES OF PRESENTATION AND MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1. Bases of presentation of the accounts

BST's consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, from its books and accounting records maintained in accordance with the accounting principles set forth in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, Regulation (CE) 1606/2002 of July 19 of the European Parliament and Council, transposed to Portuguese legislation by Decree-Law 35/2005 of February 17, and Notice 1/2005 of February 21 of the Bank of Portugal. When Group companies used different accounting principles, appropriate adjustments are made for conversion to the IAS/IFRS.

The Bank has adopted IAS 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting" in the presentation of its half-year financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

In the first semester of 2014, the Bank adopted the following standards (new and revised) and interpretations endorsed by the European Union:

  • IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements" This standard establishes the requirements relating to the presentation of consolidated financial statements by a parent company, replacing, with regard to these matters, standard IAS 27 – "Consolidated and separate financial statements" and SIC 12 – Consolidation – "Special purpose entities". This standard also introduces new rules regarding the definition of control and the determination of the consolidation perimeter.
  • IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements" This standard replaces IAS 31 "Joint Ventures" and SIC 13 – "Jointly Controlled Entities – Non monetary contribution by ventures" and eliminates the possibility of using the proportional consolidation method in accounting for interests in joint ventures.
  • IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests on other entities" This standard sets out a new set of disclosures relating to investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.
  • IAS 27 "Separate financial statements" (2011) (revised) This amendment restricts the scope of IAS 27 to separate financial statements only.
  • IAS 28 "Investments in associates and joint ventures" (2011) (revised) This amendment ensures consistency between IAS 28 – "Investments in associates" and the new standards adopted, in particular IFRS 11 – "Joint arrangements".
  • IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements" and IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests in other entities" (Investment entities) (amendment) – This amendment introduces an exemption from consolidation for certain entities that meet the definition of investment entities. It also establishes rules of measurement of investments held by those investment entities.
  • IAS 32 "Offsetting financial assets and liabilities" (amendment) This amendment clarifies certain aspects of the standard related to meeting criteria for the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities.
  • IAS 36 "Impairment of assets" (Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets) (Amendment) - This amendment eliminates the need to disclose the recoverable amount of cash generating units containing goodwill or intangible assets with undefined useful life in periods where no impairment loss or reversal has been recognized. This standard also introduces additional disclosures for assets where impairment loss or reversal have been recorded and the recoverable amount of those assets has been determinate based on fair value less costs to sell.
  • IAS 39 "Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement" (Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting) – This amendment allows, in certain circumstances, the continuation of hedge accounting when a derivative designated as a hedge instrument is novated.
  • IFRIC 21 "Levies" (amendment) This amendment establishes criteria about when to recognize a liability to pay a levy as a result of a certain event (for example, participating in a specific market), where payment is not made for the acquisition of assets or specific services.

The adoption of the standards and interpretations above had an impact primarily on the disclosures and presentation of these financial statements.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Furthermore, up to the date of approval of the accompanying financial statements, the following standards and improvements, which are still not endorsed by the European Union, were also issued:

  • IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" (2009) and subsequent amendments This standard is part of the draft revision of IAS 39 and establishes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.
  • IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" (2013) and IFRS 7 "Financial instruments disclosures" The amendment to IFRS 9 is part of the draft revision of IAS 39 and establishes the requirements for the application of hedge accounting rules. IFRS 7 was also revised as a result of this amendment.
  • IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" (revised) This amendment clarifies under which circumstances employee contributions for post-employment benefit plans represent a reduction in the cost of short-term benefits.
  • Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2010-2012 Cycle): These improvements involve the review of several standards.
  • Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2011-2013 Cycle): These improvements involve the review of several standards.
  • IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets". This amendment clarifies the methods accepted for depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets.
  • IFRS 11 "Join Arrangements" This amendment clarifies the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint arrangements.
  • IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts" The purpose of this standard is to specify the disclosure requirements applied to the balances arising from the supply of goods or services to customers at prices or rates that are subject to regulation.
  • IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" The purpose of this standard is to specify disclosure requirements related to revenue recognition.

These standards have not been endorsed by the European Union and so they were not adopted by the Bank in the semester ended June 30, 2014.

1.2. Consolidation principles and recording of associated companies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and those of the entities controlled directly and indirectly by the Bank (Note 4), including special purpose entities.

Subsidiary companies are those in which the Bank exercises effective control over its current management in order to obtain economic benefits from their activities. Control usually exists when more than 50% of the share capital or the voting rights are held. Furthermore, as a result of the application of the IAS 27 – "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" and IFRS 10 – "Consolidated Financial Statements", the Group includes special purpose entities in its consolidation perimeter, namely vehicles and funds created under securitization operations when it exercises effective financial and operating control over them and when it is exposed to the majority of the risks and benefits associated to their activity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated by the full integration method from the date that the Bank has control over their activities to the date that control ceases. The transactions and the significant balances between the companies subject to consolidation were eliminated. In addition, when applicable, consolidation adjustments are made in order to ensure consistency in the application of accounting principles. Third party shareholders in subsidiary companies consolidated by the full integration method are accounted for under the caption "Minority interests" (Note 28).

As part of its fund management activity, the Bank manages assets held by investment funds whose participating units are held by third parties. The financial statements of those investment funds are not included in the consolidation perimeter of the Bank, except when the Bank has control over those investment funds, namely when it holds more than 50% of its participating units, situations when they are consolidated by the full integration method. In accordance with the IFRS 10, the amount corresponding to the third party participations in the investment funds that were consolidated by the full integration method is presented as a liability under the caption "Equity representative instruments" (Note 24).

Associated companies are those in which the Bank has significant influence, but over which it does not have control. Significant influence is presumed to exist when a participation (direct or indirect) exceeds 20% or where the Bank has the power to participate in decisions relating to it's financial and operating policies, but does not have control or joint control over them. Participations in associated companies are recorded in accordance with the equity method of accounting, from the date the Bank has significant influence until the date it ceases.

In accordance with the equity method of accounting, the consolidated financial statements include the part of shareholders' equity and profit or loss of the associated companies attributable to the Bank.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the acquisition cost over the effective percentage held in the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of subsidiary and associated companies. At least once a year, the Bank performs impairment tests to the goodwill recognized in the balance sheet, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 36 - "Impairment of Assets". For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units, and the recoverable amount is assessed based on the present value of estimates of future cash flows using discount rates considered appropriate by the Bank. Impairment losses associated with goodwill are recorded in the income statement and cannot be reversed.

Goodwill on associated companies is included in the carrying amount of the investment, which is subject to impairment tests.

The Bank decided not to apply IFRS 3 – "Business combinations", retrospectively. Therefore, goodwill on acquisitions up to January 1, 2004 is reflected as a deduction to shareholders' equity in compliance with the former accounting policy. Previously recognized negative goodwill was recorded as an increase in shareholders' equity, as permitted by IFRS 1.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and associated companies after January 1, 2004 were recorded in accordance with the acquisition method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries and associated companies as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recorded as an asset and is subject to impairment tests in accordance with IAS 36, but is not depreciated. Furthermore, whenever the fair value of the assets acquired and of the liabilities incurred or assumed is higher than the acquisition cost (negative goodwill), the difference is recognized in the income statement.

With the application of the amendments to the standards IFRS 3 and IAS 27, the Bank defined as accounting policy the fair value valuation through profit or loss when there is a change of control for subsidiaries acquired in stages. In such cases, the participation acquired prior to the date of the change of control is revalued at fair value through profit or loss. Goodwill is calculated on a given date as the difference between the total acquisition cost and the proportion in the fair value of the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities. Similarly, by the application of the amendments above, the Bank revalue through profit or loss the undertakings in which it loses control (Note 4).

On the other hand, the Bank decided to reverse, as of the transition date (January 1, 2004) to the IAS/IFRS, the reserve resulting from foreign exchange differences arising out from the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries and associated companies expressed in functional currencies other than the Euro. As from that date, in compliance with IAS 21, the financial statements of subsidiaries and associated companies expressed in foreign currencies have been converted to Euros as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to Euros using the exchange rate for Euros on the balance sheet date;
  • Non-monetary assets recorded at historical cost, including tangible assets, remain reflected at the original exchange rates; and
  • Foreign currency income and expenses are translated to Euros at the average exchange rates of the month in which they are recognized.

Exchange differences arising upon translation to Euros are accounted in shareholders' equity in the caption of "Revaluation reserves – Foreign exchange fluctuation".

1.3. Summary of the main accounting policies

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements were the following:

a) Accruals basis

The Bank uses the accrual-based accounting principle for most of its financial statement captions. Therefore, expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, independently of when they are paid or received.

b) Foreign currency transactions

The Bank's accounts are prepared in the currency of the economic environment in which it operates (functional currency), being expressed in Euros.

Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency, and the corresponding income and expenses, are recorded at the exchange rate of the date when they occur. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated to Euros at the fixing exchange rates as of the balance sheet date (Bank of Portugal fixing).

c) Loans and accounts receivable

This category of financial assets includes loans and advances to customers and applications in credit institutions.

Loans and advances to customers include loans to customers, as well as other securitized loans (commercial paper and bonds), not intended to be sold in the short term, being initially recorded at fair value, less any commissions, plus all the external costs directly attributable to the operations.

Subsequently, loans and other accounts receivable are recorded at amortised cost, being submitted to periodic impairment analysis.

Commissions and the external costs attributable to the underlying operations included in this category, as well as interests associated to the loans and advances granted, are recognized on an accruals basis, using the effective interest rate method, regardless of when they are received or paid. The Bank chose to defer commissions received and paid relating to loans granted as from January 1, 2004.

The Bank classifies as overdue credit instalments of principal and interests overdue for more than 30 days. Loans with overdue instalments are denounced in accordance with the credit procedures approved by the Bank, being the whole debt considered overdue from that moment on.

On the other hand, the Bank periodically analyses the loans and advances that should have already been paid in full but where the effort to collect them has not been effective. When the prospects of recovering those loans are negligible, loans are considered to be uncollectible and impairment losses are recognized for the full amount. In these cases, the Bank writes them off. Credits recovered subsequently are recognized in the income statement in the caption "Loan impairment net of reversals and recoveries".

Impairment

The Bank periodically analyses the loans and advances granted to customers and other receivable accounts in order to identify objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if, and only if, there is evidence that one or more loss events have occurred that have a measurable impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset or group of assets.

For the purpose of determining loan impairment, the Bank´s loan portfolio is segmented as follows:

  • Corporate customers;
  • Mortgage loans;
  • Consumer credit;
  • Credit granted through credit cards;
  • Other credit to individual customers;
  • Guarantees and sureties; and
  • Derivatives.

On the other hand, concerning the segment of credit provided to corporate customers, the Bank makes an individual assessment of the customers that have:

  • Credit granted greater than tEuros 5,000;
  • Credit granted greater than tEuros 500 that are classified in the Bank's monitoring system as doubtful not in litigation;
  • Credit granted greater than tEuros 500 if classified in VE1 and Substandard and tEuros 1,000 if classified in VE2 and VE3, in the Bank's special monitoring system.

In this regard, these segments may include customers without overdue credit. Occasionally the Bank also includes some customers without the mentioned features in individual assessment, by professional judgment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Customers assessed individually with impairment losses less than 0.5% are subsequently assessed on a collective impairment basis, being segmented between customers with responsibilities greater or less than tEuros 300.

The Bank carries out a collective impairment assessment on the remaining segments of the loan portfolio.

Evidence of impairment of an asset or group of assets, as defined by the Bank, corresponds to the observation of several loss events, such as:

  • Contractual breach, such as delay in principal and/or interest payments;
  • Significant financial difficulties of the debtor;
  • Significant change of the debtor's financial situation;
  • Other adverse changes, such as:
  • . Conditions and/or ability to pay; and
  • . Economic conditions in the sector in which the debtor operates with an impact on the debtor's ability to comply with its obligations.

Impairment losses for customers without overdue credit correspond to the probability of having overdue credit (PI) times the difference between the book value of the respective credits and the present value of estimated future cash flows of those operations. PI corresponds to the probability of one transaction, operation or client becoming overdue during an emergence period. The emergence period corresponds to the period between the occurrence of a loss event and the identification of that event by the Bank (incurred but not reported). For all loan portfolio segments, the Bank considers an emergence period of 6 months.

If there is evidence that the Bank has incurred in an impairment loss on loans or other receivables, the impairment loss corresponds to the difference between the book value of those assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original interest rate of the asset or financial assets. The book value of the asset or group of assets is reduced by the impairment loss account balance. In the case of loans with variable interest rates, the discount rate used to determine an impairment loss is the current interest rate, as determined by the respective contract. Impairment losses are recorded by a corresponding charge in the income statement.

In accordance with the Bank's current impairment model for the loan portfolio, impairment losses are assessed individually, on a sample basis, and on a collective basis. When a group of financial assets is assessed collectively, the future cash flows of that group are estimated based on the contractual cash flows of the assets of that group and on historical data regarding losses arising out from assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Whenever the Bank considers it necessary, the historic information is updated based on current observable data, in order to reflect the effect of current conditions.

When, in a subsequent period, there is a decrease in the amount of impairment losses due to a specific event occurring after the impairment determination, the previously recognized amount is reversed and the impairment loss balance is adjusted. The amount of the reversal is recognized directly by a corresponding charge in the income statement.

Write off of principal and interest

In accordance with the policies in place in the Bank interests arising out from overdue credits without a real guarantee are reversed three months after the due date of the operation or after the first due instalment. Unrecorded interest on the above-mentioned loans is only recognized in the period of its actual collection.

Interests on mortgage loans or on loans granted with other real guarantees are suspended from the date of termination of the contract.

Loan sales

Gains and losses on the definitive sale of loans are recorded in the income statement caption "Result from the sale of other assets" (Note 38). These gains or losses correspond to the difference between the sale amount agreed and the book value of these assets, net of impairment losses.

Factoring

Assets resulting from factoring operations with recourse are recorded in the balance sheet as loans granted by the amount of the advance funds on behalf of those contracts.

Assets resulting from factoring operations without recourse are recorded in the balance sheet as loans granted by the amount of the credits taken against the recognition of a liability under the caption "Other liabilities - Creditors and other resources - Other creditors - Creditors under factoring contracts." The delivery of funds to the counterparts in factoring operations originate´ s a corresponding debit in the caption "Other liabilities - Creditors and other resources - Other creditors - Creditors under factoring contracts" (Note 25).

Commitments resulting from credit lines negotiated with the customers and not yet used are recorded on off-balance sheet items.

Non derecognized securitized credit

The Bank does not derecognize from the balance sheet credits sold in securitization transactions when:

  • retains control over operations;
  • continues to receive a substantial part of their remuneration, and;
  • maintains a significant portion of the risk on the transferred credits.

Credits sold and not derecognized are recorded under the caption "Loans and advances to customers" and are subject to the same accounting criteria as other credit operations. The interests and commissions associated to the securitized loan portfolio are accrued over the term of the loans.

The maintenance of risk and/or benefit is represented by the bonds with higher risk level issued by the securitization vehicle. The amounts recorded in assets and liabilities represent the proportion of the risk / benefit held by the Bank (continuing involvement).

The bonds issued by the securitization vehicles held by the Group entities are eliminated from consolidation.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there are no derecognized securitized loans.

Finance leasing

Lease operations are classified as finance leases when substantially all the risks and benefits relating to ownership of the leased asset are transferred to the lessee under the lease contract. Finance leasing's are recorded in accordance with the following criteria:

i) As lessee

Assets purchased under finance leases are recorded at their fair value in other tangible assets and in liabilities and the corresponding depreciation is recognized. Lease instalments are split in accordance with the respective financial plan, being the liabilities decreased by the amount corresponding to the payment of the principal. Interest included in the instalments is recorded in the caption "Interest and similar charges".

ii) As lessor

Leased assets are recorded in the balance sheet as loans granted, which are repaid by amortising the principal in accordance with the financial plan of the contracts. Interest included in the instalments is recorded in the caption "Interest and similar income".

Guarantees given and irrevocable commitments

Responsibilities arising from guarantees given and irrevocable commitments are recorded in off-balance sheet accounts for the amount at risk, while interest, commissions and other income are recorded in the income statement over the period of the operations.

d) Recognition of income and expenses relating to services and commissions

Income from services and commissions obtained in the execution of a significant act, for example a commission from syndicating loans operations, is recognised in the income statement when the significant service act has been completed.

Income from services and commissions obtained as the services are rendered is recognised in the income statement in the period to which it refers.

Income from services and commissions that are part of the remuneration of financial instruments is recorded in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.

Expenses relating to services and commissions are recognised using the same criteria as adopted for income.

e) Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet at the date of payment or receipt, unless there is an explicit contractual provision arising from the legal regime applicable that establishes that the rights and obligations related to the traded values are transferred at a different date, in which cases the latter will be the relevant date.

Financial assets and liabilities are subsequently classified into one of four specific categories set down in IAS 39:

  • Financial assets and liabilities held for trading;
  • Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;
  • Available-for-sale financial assets; and
  • Other financial liabilities.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

i) Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets held for trading include fixed or variable yield securities traded on active markets purchased with the intention of being sold or repurchased in the short term. Trading derivatives with a receivable net value (positive fair value) and options bought are included in the caption Financial assets held for trading. Trading derivatives with a payable net value (negative fair value) and options sold are included in the caption Financial liabilities held for trading.

Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at fair value. Gains and losses arising from subsequent fair value measurement are recognised in the income statement.

The interest inherent to the financial assets and the difference between the acquisition cost and the nominal value (premium or discount) is calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method and recognised in the income statement in the caption "Interest and similar income". The effective interest rate is the one that, when used to discount the estimated future cash flows associated to the financial instrument, makes its present value equal to the net carrying amount of the financial instrument on initial recognition.

Interest relating to trading derivatives is recorded in the caption "Result of assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss" in the income statement.

The fair value of financial assets held for trading and traded on active markets is their bid-price or their closing price on the balance sheet date. If the market price is not available, fair value of the instrument is estimated based on valuation techniques that include price valuation models or discounted cash flow techniques.

When discounted cash flow techniques are used, the future cash flows are estimated in accordance with management's expectations and the discount rate used corresponds to the market rate for financial instruments with similar characteristics. Data used in price valuation models correspond to market prices information.

The fair value of the derivatives financial instruments that are not traded on active markets including the credit risk component attributed to the parties involved in the transaction ("Credit Value Adjustments" and "Debit Value Adjustments") is estimated based on the amount that would be received or paid to settle the contract on that date, considering the current market conditions as well as the credit quality of the counterparties.

ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include equity and debt instruments that are not classified as financial assets held for trading, at fair value through profit or loss, as investments to be held to maturity or as loans and accounts receivable.

Available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value, with the exception of equity instruments not listed on an active market and which fair value cannot be reliably measured, which are recorded at their acquisition cost, net of impairment. Subsequent gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are reflected in a specific equity caption "Revaluation reserves - Fair value" until they are disposed of or until impairment losses are recognised, moment when they are reclassified to the income statement. Foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary assets are directly recognised in the income statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Interest on available-for-sale financial assets is calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method and recorded in the income statement caption "Interest and similar income".

Income from variable return securities is recognized in the income statement caption "Income from equity instruments" in the date that it is declared. In accordance with this criterion, the interim dividends are recognized as income in the year the distribution is declared.

Reclassification of financial assets

In accordance with the amendment introduced on October 13, 2008 in Standard IAS 39 - "Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement", the Bank can reclassify a financial asset that is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term (although it may have been acquired or incurred mainly for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term), removing it from the category of fair value through profit or loss, if some certain requirements are met. However, reclassifications of other categories are not permitted for the category Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

iii) Income recognition

Interest relating to financial assets and the recognition of the difference between their acquisition cost and nominal value (premium or discount) is calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method and recorded in the "Interest and similar income" caption in the income statement.

iv) Sale operations with repurchase agreements

Securities sold with repurchase agreements are maintained in their original securities portfolio. Funds received are recorded on the settlement date in a specific liability account, while interest payable are accrued.

v) Impairment of financial instruments

When there is objective evidence of impairment of a financial asset or group of assets, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

For listed securities, objective evidence of impairment exists when there is a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value. Objective evidence of impairment for unlisted securities exists when there is a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset, provided that it can be reliably estimated.

The Bank considers the specific nature and features of the assets being valued in its periodic impairment tests. In terms of objective impairment criteria, the Bank considers a 24 month period to be adequate for the prolonged devaluation of financial instruments in relation to their acquisition cost. The Bank also considers the existence of unrealised capital losses exceeding 50% of the acquisition cost to be a significant devaluation.

Except as explained in the following paragraph, if in a subsequent period there is a decrease in the amount of impairment loss attributable to an event occurring after the impairment determination, the previously recognised impairment loss is directly reverted through an adjustment to the impairment loss account. The amount of the reversal is recognised directly in the income statement.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

When there is objective evidence of impairment of available for sale financial assets as a result of a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security or financial difficulties of the issuer, the accumulated loss of the fair value reserve is reclassified from equity to the income statement. Impairment losses on fixed income securities can be reverted through profit or loss if there is an increase in the fair value of the security resulting from an event that occurs after the determination of the impairment. Impairment losses on equity instruments cannot be reverted and so any unrealised capital gains arising after recognition of an impairment loss are recorded in the fair value reserve. In the case of equity instruments for which impairment losses have been recognised, subsequent reductions in its fair value are always recognised in the income statement.

For financial assets recorded at cost, namely unlisted equity instruments which fair value cannot be reliably measured, the Bank also carries out periodic impairment tests. In this context, the recoverable amount of those assets corresponds to the present value of the estimated future cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the underlying risk of a similar asset.

vi) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities correspond essentially to resources of central banks, of other credit institutions, of customers' deposits and bond issues. These liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, which normally corresponds to the amount received, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method.

Bond issues are recorded in the captions "Debt securities" and "Subordinated liabilities".

Embedded derivatives in bonds issued are recorded separately in the captions "Financial assets and liabilities held for trading", being revalued at fair value through the income statement.

Secondary market transactions

The Bank carries out repurchases of bonds issued in the secondary market. Purchases and sales of own bonds are included in proportion to the respective accounts of debt issued (capital interest and commissions) and the differences between the amount settled and the disposal are recognised immediately in profit or loss or deferred during the maturity of the bonds.

Fair value

As mentioned above, the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the categories of "Financial assets held for trading", "Financial liabilities held for trading", "Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" and "Available-for-sale financial assets" are measured at fair value.

The fair value of a financial instrument corresponds to the amount for which an asset or a financial liability can be sold or settled (in other words, an exit price) between independent, knowledgeable and interested parties in the transaction under normal market conditions.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is determined by an independent area of the Bank's trading function, based on:

  • For financial instruments traded on active markets, the closing price on the balance sheet date;
  • For debt instruments not traded on active markets (including unlisted securities or with limited liquidity) methods and valuation techniques are used, which include:
  • i) Prices (bid prices) obtained through financial information providers, namely Bloomberg and Reuters, including market prices available for recent transactions;
  • ii) Indicative quotes (bid prices) obtained from financial institutions that operate as market-makers;
  • iii) Valuation models, which take into account market inputs that would be used to determine the price for the financial instrument, reflecting the market interest rates and volatility, as well as the liquidity and credit risk associated to the instrument.

Amortised cost

Financial instruments measured at amortized cost are initially recorded at their fair value added to or deducted from the income or costs directly attributable to the transaction. The interest is recognised through the effective interest rate method.

Whenever the estimate of payments or collections associated with financial instruments measured at amortized cost is revised, the carrying amount is adjusted to reflect the new expected cash flows. The new amortized cost results from the present value of the revised future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument. The adjustment in the amortized cost is recognised by a corresponding charge in the income statement.

f) Valuation and registration of derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments traded by the Bank are always recognised in the balance sheet at their fair value.

Embedded derivatives in other financial instruments (namely in bonds and structured deposits) are separated from their host contract whenever their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract and the whole instrument is not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

The Bank uses derivative financial instruments namely to hedge the interest rate risk resulting from financing and investing activities. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded as financial instruments held for trading, under the financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading captions, being all changes in their fair value recorded by a corresponding entry in the income statement.

Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value and the corresponding capital gains and losses are recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Bank.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

In accordance with IAS 39, hedge accounting is applicable only when the following requirements are cumulatively met:

  • There is formal documentation regarding the hedging relationship and risk management strategy of the Bank, including the following aspects:
  • Identification of the hedging instrument;
  • Identification of the hedged item;
  • Identification of the type of hedged risk; and
  • Definition of the method used to measure the hedging effectiveness and subsequent monitoring.
  • Initial expectation that the hedging relationship is highly effective; and
  • Throughout the life of the operation, the hedging effectiveness is kept between 80% and 125%. The hedging effectiveness is tested on each reporting date by comparing the variation in the fair value of the hedged item with the variation in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

Hedge accounting is only applied as from the time all these requirements are met. In the same way, if at any time the hedging effectiveness ceases to be between 80% and 125%, hedge accounting is discontinued.

Fair value hedges

Gains or losses on the revaluation of a hedging derivative financial instrument are recognised in the income statement. If the hedge is effective, the gains or losses resulting from variations in the fair value of the hedged item relating to the risk being hedged are also recognised in the income statement.

If a hedging instrument matures or is early terminated, the gains or losses in the valuation of the hedged item relating to the risk being hedge, recognised as value adjustments of the hedged items, are amortized over the effective remaining period. If the asset or liability being hedged is sold or settled, the amounts recognised as a result of the valuation of the hedged risk are reclassified to the income statement and the derivative is transferred to the trading portfolio. If the hedge becomes ineffective, the gains or losses recognised as value adjustments to the hedged items are amortized through the income statement over the remaining period.

Hedge accounting is not applied in the case of foreign exchange rate hedging of monetary items, being the gain or loss arising from the derivative and from the foreign exchange variation of the monetary items both recognised in the income statement.

Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges refer to hedging the exposure to variability in future cash flows that can be attributed to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability, or to a highly probable forecast transaction that may affect profit or loss.

In this sense, the Bank has entered into derivatives to hedge future cash flows of interest on its variable rate mortgage loan portfolio.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

The application of cash flow hedge accounting is also subject to the previously mentioned hedge accounting requirements and implies the following records:

  • The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in a specific equity caption; and
  • The ineffective portion is recorded in the income statement.

In addition, the gain or loss in the hedging instrument recognised in equity corresponds to the lower of the following amounts:

  • The cumulative gain or loss in the hedging instrument from the inception of the hedge; and
  • The cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, relating to the risk that is being hedged, from the inception of the hedge.

In this regard, and if applicable, the remaining of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument not recognised in equity is included in profit or loss.

Cash flow hedge accounting shall be discontinued if the hedging instrument matures or is early terminated, if the hedge relationship becomes ineffective or if it is decided to terminate the hedging relationship. In these cases, the accumulated gain or loss on the hedging instrument that was recognised in equity continues to be separately classified in equity, being recorded in the income statement in the same period that the gains or losses of the hedged item are recognised.

g) Other tangible assets

Tangible assets used by the Bank in its operations are stated at cost (including directly attributable costs) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, when applicable.

Depreciation of tangible assets is recorded on a monthly basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which corresponds to the period in which the asset is expected to be available for use:

Years of
useful life
Property for own use 50
Equipment 4 to 10

Non recoverable expenditure capitalized on leasehold buildings is amortised over a period adjusted to its expected useful life or the lease contract term, if shorter, which on average corresponds to a period of ten years.

As permitted by IFRS 1, tangible assets acquired up to January 1, 2004 have been recorded at their book value at the transition date to the IAS/IFRS, which corresponded to its cost adjusted by legal revaluations based on evolution of the general price index. 40% of the increase in the depreciation charges resulting from such revaluations is not tax deductible, being the corresponding deferred tax liabilities recognised accordingly.

On the other hand, the tangible assets of the Bank are subject periodically to impairment tests. The branches are considered as cash flows generating units for this purpose with impairment losses being recognised whenever the recoverable amount of a property (through its use in the operations or through its sale) is lower than its carrying amount.

The criteria followed in the valuation of the properties normally uses a market comparison method and the amount of the valuation corresponds to the market value of the properties in their current condition.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

h) Intangible assets

In this caption the Bank recognises the expenses incurred in the development stages of IT systems implemented and in implementation stage, as well as expenses of acquiring software, in both cases where their impact extends beyond the financial year in which the expenses are incurred. Impairment losses assessments are performed on an annual basis.

Intangible assets are amortised on a monthly basis over its estimated useful life, which corresponds to three years on average. For the new computer platform (Partenon), until December 31, 2013, the expected useful life corresponded to a maximum of five years. In the first half of 2014, the Bank has revised the estimated useful life of that platform and reduced it to three years.

i) Investment properties

Investment properties comprise, essentially, buildings and land held by Novimovest – Real Estate Investment Fund (Novimovest) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, rather than for its use in the provision of goods, services, or for administrative purposes.

Investment properties are stated at their fair value based on periodic valuations performed by independent appraisers. Changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized directly in the income statement for the year.

Costs incurred with investment properties in use, such as maintenance, repairs, insurance and property taxes (municipal property tax) are recognized in the income statement for the year to which they relate. Improvements which are expected to generate additional future economic benefits are capitalized.

j) Non-current assets held for sale

The Bank accounts for property and other assets received in settlement of non-performing loans under this caption, when these are available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale is highly probable within one year. Should these criteria not be met, these assets are accounted for under the caption "Other assets" (Note 17). These assets are recorded at the amount agreed under negotiation or court decision, deducted from the estimated sale costs or their forced sale value, if lower. On the other hand, property recovered following the termination of finance lease contracts is recorded as an asset by the outstanding principal amount on the date the contract is terminate.

This caption also includes participating units of a real estate investment fund acquired following a debt settlement agreement with a customer.

In addition, the Bank's property for own use which is in process of being sold is accounted for under this caption. These assets are transferred at their net book value in accordance with IAS 16 (acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses), thereafter being subject to periodic impairment tests.

Property is subject to periodic valuations performed by independent real estate appraisers. Impairment losses are recognised whenever the appraised value (net of costs to sell) is lower than the book value.

According to IFRS 5 – "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations", the Bank does not recognize unrealized gains on these assets.

At last, the Bank's Board of Directors considers that the valuation methods adopted for these assets are appropriate and reflect the market environment.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

k) Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is set up whenever there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) arising from past obligation event relating to which there will be a probable future outflow of resources, and this can be determined reliably. The amount of the provision corresponds to the best estimate of the amount to be disbursed to settle a liability at the balance sheet date. Whenever the outflow of resources is not probable, a contingent liability exists. Contingent liabilities need only to be disclosed unless the probability of their disbursed is remote.

Thus, in accordance with IAS 37, this caption includes the provisions to cover specific postemployment benefits of members of the Board of Directors, restructuring plans, tax contingencies, legal processes and other losses arising from the Bank's activity (Note 22).

l) Employees' post-employment benefits

The Bank signed the Collective Labour Agreement (Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho - ACT) for the Portuguese Banking Sector, under which its employees or their families are entitled to retirement, disability and survival pensions.

For employees hired by the Bank up to December 31, 2008, BST's pension plan corresponds to a defined benefit plan, as it establishes the criteria for determining the amount of the pension that each employee would receive during retirement, based on his/her time of service and remuneration at the time of retirement, being the pensions updated annually based on the remuneration established in the ACT for the serving employees. For these employees, the Bank has been responsible for the payment of the full amount of the pensions established under the ACT. The liabilities arising out from the defined benefit plan are covered by a Pension Fund.

As from January 1, 2009, employees hired by the Bank started to be registered in the Social Security and are covered by a supplementary defined contribution pension plan with acquired rights under Article 137 – C of the ACT. The plan is supported by contributions from the employees (1.5%) and from the Bank (1.5%) over the amount of the effective monthly salary. For this purpose, each employee can choose his/her own pension fund.

The employees of the former Totta were already covered by Social Security, thus the Bank's liability for those employees consists only in the payment of supplements.

In October 2010 an agreement was reached between the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity, the Portuguese Association of Banks and the Financial Sector Federation (FEBASE) to include workers of the banking sector in the General Regime of the Social Security. Following this agreement, it was published in 2011 the Decree-Law nº 1- A/2011, dated January 3, which defined that serving workers in the banking sector at the date of its entry into force (January 4, 2011) are to be included in the General Regime of the Social Security with regard to retirement pensions and in the event of maternity, paternity and adoption. Given the complementary nature allowed for under the rules of the Collective Labour Agreement for the Banking Sector, the Bank will continue to cover the difference between the amount of the benefits paid under the General Regime of the Social Security and those resulting from the Collective Labour Agreement.

Past service liabilities as at December 31, 2010 have not changed as a result of the abovementioned Decree-Law since the reduction of the pensionable amount attributable to the Bank will affect the services to be provided by the employees in the future as from January 1, 2011. Thus, the current service cost has been reduced as from this date only, though at the same time the Bank has started to pay the employer's contribution to the Social Security of 23.6% (the so called "Taxa Social Única"). On the other hand, the Bank maintains the responsibility of paying out the disability pensions and the survival pensions along with any healthcare assistance. This understanding was also confirmed by the National Council of Financial Supervisors (Conselho Nacional de Supervisores Financeiros).

In December 2011 a three party agreement was established between the Ministry of Finance, the Portuguese Association of Banks and the Federation for the Financial Sector (FEBASE), concerning the transfer to the Social Security of part of the liabilities for pensioners which, as at December 31, 2011 were covered by the substitutive regime of the Social Security as per the Collective Labour Agreement (ACT) in force for the banking sector.

Following the above-mentioned three party agreement, still in 2011, Decree-Law nº 127/2011, dated December 31, was issued determining that as from January 1, 2012 the Social Security started to be responsible for the above-mentioned pensions for an amount corresponding to the pension computed in accordance to the terms and conditions in force under the Collective Labour Agreement for the banking sector as at December 31, 2011, including both vacation (14th month) and Christmas bonuses.

In accordance with this Decree-Law, the Bank, through its Pension Fund, only maintains the responsibility for paying:

  • i) the update of pensions referred to above, in accordance to the Collective Labour Agreement for the banking sector;
  • ii) the employer's contributions to healthcare benefits ("Serviços de Assistência Médica Social – SAMS") managed by the respective unions, over the retirement and survival pensions, in accordance with the terms of the Collective Labour Agreement for the banking sector;
  • iii) the death subsidy;
  • iv) the survival pension for children;
  • v) the survival pension for children and living spouse, provided it refers to the same employee; and
  • vi) the survival pension for the family of a current pensioner, meeting the vesting conditions as from January 1, 2012.

Under the transfer of responsibilities to the Social Security, the Bank's Pension Fund assets backing such responsibilities were also transferred. The value of the Pension Fund assets transferred corresponded to the value of the responsibilities assumed under the above mentioned Decree Law, which were determined considering the following assumptions:

Mortality table male population TV 73/77 less 1 year
Mortality table female population TV 88/90
Actuarial technical rate (discount rate) 4%

The assets to be transferred should be comprised by cash and up to 50% in Portuguese government debt securities valued at their respective market value.

Under the terms of the aforementioned Decree-Law, the ownership transfer of the assets was performed by the Bank as follows:

  • i) Up to December 31, 2011, an amount equivalent to at least 55% of the provisional present value of the liabilities;
  • ii) By June 30, 2012, the remaining amount to complete the definite present value of the liabilities transferred.

In this regard, and prior to the transfer to the Social Security, the Bank obtained actuarial studies that allow the calculation of the amount of the transfer.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Following the transfer agreement responsibilities of the pensioners to the Social Security, and for purposes of determining the value of the liabilities to be transferred in accordance with the provisions established in Decree Law nº 127/2011, of December 31, the Bank calculated the liabilities separately for serving and retired employees, having defined specific assumptions for each case (Note 44).

The difference between the amount of the liabilities to be transferred to the Social Security determined as per the above referred assumptions and the liabilities determined based on updated actuarial assumptions as adopted by the Bank, was recorded under the caption "Staff costs" in the income statement.

Furthermore, the London branch employees are covered by a defined benefit pension plan, for which there is a separate Pension Fund (Note 44).

On the other hand, in February 2010, a supplementary defined contribution pension plan was approved for a defined set of the Bank's executives, for which an insurance policy was taken out.

BST's retirement pension liability is calculated annually by external experts (Towers Watson (Portugal) Unipessoal Limitada) based on the "Projected Unit Credit" method. The discount rate used in the actuarial calculations is determined based on market rates for high quality corporate bonds in terms of credit risk, in the currency in which the benefits will be paid (Euros), with similar maturity of the plan's liability. Employees' post-employment benefits also include healthcare assistance (SAMS) and death subsidy during retirement. In the first half of 2014, the ex-BSN Fund was settled after authorization from Instituto de Seguros de Portugal.

Banco Santander de Negócios Portugal, S.A. (BSN) did not sign the Collective Labour Agreement (ACT) in force for the banking sector. So in 2006 BSN established a defined contribution pension fund under which employees have been allowed to make voluntary contributions. BSN's contribution to that fund depended of the results and corresponded to a percentage of the employees' wages, with an annual floor of 1,000 Euros per participant. Following the merger of BSN into BST, the employees of the former BSN have been incorporated in the ACT and in BST's defined benefit pension plan as from May 2010, with recognition of the seniority of employees hired before July 1, 1997.

Totta IFIC had no Pension Fund. As a result of the merger by incorporation of Totta IFIC into BST, the employees of the former Totta IFIC were integrated in the ACT and in the BST's defined benefit pension plan as from April 2011. Additionally, the seniority of the employees hired before July 1, 1997 has been recognised.

Application of IAS 19

On January 1, 2004 the Bank opted not to apply IAS 19 retrospectively, and therefore has not recalculated the actuarial gains and losses that would be deferred on the balance sheet if that standard had been adopted as from the beginning of the pension's plans. Accordingly, the actuarial gains and losses existing as at January 1, 2004, as well as those resulting from adopting IAS 19, were reversed/recorded against retained earnings as at the transition date.

In 2011 the Bank decided to change the accounting policy for recognizing actuarial gains and losses using the corridor method, having started to recognize actuarial gains and losses in equity, as provided in the revised version of IAS 19.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

From January 1, 2013 following the revision of IAS 19 - "Employee Benefits", the Bank records under the caption "Staff costs" in the income statement the following components:

  • Current service cost;
  • Net interest profit / cost with the pension plan;
  • Early retirement cost corresponding to the increase in the past service liability due to early retirement; and
  • Gains and losses resulting from changes in the conditions of the plan.

Net interest profit / cost with the pension plan is calculated by multiplying the Bank net asset / liability with pensions (liabilities less the fair value of plan assets) by the discount rate used in determining the liabilities with retirement pensions. Thus, the net interest profit / cost represents the interest cost associated with pension liabilities net of the theoretical return of the Fund's assets, both measured based on the discount rate used to calculate pension liabilities.

Gains and losses from remeasurement, namely: (i) gains and losses resulting from differences between actuarial assumptions and actuarial values (experience gains and losses) as well as changes in actuarial assumptions; and (ii) gains and losses arising from the difference between the theoretical return of the Fund's assets and the values obtained are recognized against the statement of other comprehensive income.

The liabilities for retirement pensions less the fair value of the assets of the Pension Fund are recorded in the captions "Other assets" or "Other liabilities", depending on whether there is financial surplus or deficit.

Notice nº 4/2005 of the Bank of Portugal states that the liability arising from pensions being paid shall be fully funded and a 95% minimum funded level should exist for the past service liabilities of serving employees. Notwithstanding this, it also established a transition period ranging from 5 to 7 years in respect of the increase in the liabilities as result of the adoption of IAS 19.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the rate of coverage of the full amount of the liability of BST for employee benefits, including SAMS, was 99.57% and 99.25%, respectively (Note 44).

m) Long service bonuses

In compliance with the ACT, the Bank assumed the commitment to pay bonuses to serving employees with fifteen, twenty-five and thirty years of good and effective service, corresponding, respectively, to one, two or three months of their effective monthly wage (in the year the bonus is attributed), respectively.

The Bank determines the present value of its liability for long service bonuses by actuarial calculations based on the "Projected Unit Credit" method. The actuarial assumptions used (financial and demographic) are based on expectations, as of the balance sheet date, regarding salary increases and are based on mortality tables adapted to Bank's population. The discount rate used is determined based on market rates for high quality corporate bonds with similar maturity to the liability.

Long service bonuses' liabilities are recorded in the caption "Accrued costs - Relating to personnel – Long service bonuses" (Note 25).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

n) Income tax

BST and the Group's companies established in Portugal are subject to the tax regime established in the Corporate Income Tax Code ("CIRC"). The branches' accounts are consolidated with those of the Bank for tax purposes. In addition to being subject to Corporate Income Tax, the results of the branches are also subject to local taxes in the countries/territories in which they are established. Local taxes are deductible for Corporate Income Tax in Portugal under the terms of article 91 of CIRC and the Double Taxation Agreements signed by Portugal.

With the wording used in the State Budget Law for 2011 (Law nº 55–A/2010, of December 3), in accordance with article 92 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, tax paid under the terms of item 1, article 90, net of international double taxation and any tax benefits, cannot be less than 90% of the amount that would have been determined if the taxpayer did not have the tax benefits established in item 13, article 43 and article 75 of the Corporate Income Tax Code.

Since January 1, 2007, local authorities have been able to establish a maximum local surcharge of up to 1.5% over taxable income subject to and not exempt from Corporate Income Tax. With the publication of Law nº 12 - A/2010, of 30 June, a state surcharge was also introduced, which must be paid by all taxpayers subject to and not exempt from Corporate Income Tax with taxable income in excess of tEuros 2,000. The state surcharge corresponds to 2.5% of the taxable income exceeding that limit.

With the publication of the State Budget Law for 2012 (Law nº 64-B/2011, of December 30), the companies that present higher taxable income in that year and on the two following years were subject to higher state surcharge rates. Companies with taxable income comprised between tEuros 1,500 and tEuros 10,000 were subject to a state surcharge rate of 3% and companies with taxable income exceeding tEuros 10,000 were subject to a rate of 5%.

Additionally, following the publication of Law nº 2/2014, of January 16, (CIRC amendment) the taxation of corporate income for the year 2014 became the one described below:

  • Corporate income tax (IRC) rate of 23% on taxable income (25% in year 2013);
  • Municipal surcharge at a rate between 0% and 1.5% on taxable income (equal to year 2013); and
  • State surcharge at a variable rate on taxable income according to the limits presented below:
  • Less than tEuros 1,500 0%;
  • Between tEuros 1,500 and tEuros 7,500 3%;
  • Between tEuros 7,500 and tEuros 35,000 5%;
  • More than tEuros 35,000 7%.

Thus, the above referred change implied that the rates used by the Bank in the calculation and recognition of deferred taxes for the year 2013 and for the first half of 2014 were 23% for tax losses and 29.5% for temporary differences.

On the other hand, tax losses may be used in the five subsequent tax periods (or the twelve subsequent tax periods for the tax losses generated from 2014, inclusive). However, within the terms allowed in the State Budget Law for 2012, the deduction of the losses in each year cannot exceed 75% of the respective taxable income (70% from the year 2014), although the remaining ones continue to be deductible up to the end of the tax utilization period.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Following the publication of Law nº 55-A/2010, of December 31, the Bank is subject to the banking sector contribution regime. The basis of such contribution is as follows:

  • a) Liabilities calculated and approved by taxpayers deducted from own funds (Tier 1) and supplementary own funds (Tier 2) as well as deducted from the deposits under the Deposits Guaranteed Fund coverage. The following balances are deducted from the liability thus computed:
  • Balances that in accordance with the applicable accounting standards are accounted for under shareholders' equity;
  • Liabilities associated to the recognition of liabilities for defined benefit plans;
  • Provisions;
  • Liabilities arising from the revaluation of derivative financial instruments;
  • Deferred income, without consideration of that arising from liability operations; and
  • Liabilities arising from assets not derecognised within securitization operations.
  • b) Notional amount of off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, as determined by the taxpayers, with the exception of hedge derivatives or those derivatives with open symmetric risk positions.

The rates applicable to the bases of incidence defined in a) and b) above are 0.07% and 0.0003%, respectively, as provided in the amendment made by the Dispatch nº 64/2014, of March 12 to the nº 5 of the Dispatch nº 121/2011, of March 30.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities correspond to the amount of the tax recoverable and payable in future periods resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and their respective tax bases. Tax credits are also recognised as deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is estimated that they will be recovered and only up to the amount that will probably be recovered through the existence of sufficient expected future taxable income to absorb the deductible temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities were calculated based on the tax rates decreed for the period in which the respective assets are expected to be realised or the liabilities incurred.

Current and deferred taxes are reflected in the income statement, except for taxes on transactions recorded directly in shareholders' equity, namely potential gains and losses on financial assets available for sale and on cash flow hedging derivatives, as well as actuarial gains and losses related to pension liabilities following the change of its accounting policy (Note 1.3. I)).

o) Long term incentive plans

The Bank has long-term incentive plans for stocks and stock options of Banco Santander, S.A., holding company of the Santander Group. Given their characteristics, these plans consist of equity settled share-based payment transactions, as defined in IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11. The management, hedging and implementation of these long-term incentive plans is provided directly by Banco Santander, S.A.. The Bank pays out annually these plans to Banco Santander, S.A..

The recording of such plans corresponds to the recognition of the Bank's employee's right to these instruments in the caption "Other reserves" against an entry in the caption "Staff costs" of the income statement, as these are granted in exchange for services rendered.

A description of the long-term incentive plans for stocks and stock options in force in Banco Santander S.A. is included in Note 47.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

p) Treasury shares

Treasury shares are recorded in the equity accounts at their acquisition cost and are not subject to revaluation. Gains or losses arising from the sale of treasury shares, as well as the related taxes, are recorded directly in equity not affecting the net income for the year.

q) Preference shares

Preference shares are recorded as equity instruments when:

  • There is no contractual obligation of the Bank to reimburse (either in cash or in another financial asset) the preference shares acquired by the holder;
  • The remission or early redemption of the preference shares may only be made at the Bank's option; and
  • The dividend distributions made by the Bank to the holders of preference shares are discretionary.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank classified as equity instruments the preference shares issued by Totta & Açores Financing and BST International Bank, Inc. - Puerto Rico.

The preference shares classified as equity instruments and held by third parties are presented in the consolidated financial statements under the caption "Minority interests".

r) Insurance brokerage services rendered

Income (commissions) from the insurance brokerage services rendered is recorded on an accrual basis. Income is recorded as it is generated, irrespective of when it is received. Amounts receivable are subject to impairment analysis.

The Bank is not engage in the collection of insurance premiums on behalf of insurers, neither performs the movement of funds related to insurance contracts. Thus, there is no other asset, liability, revenue or expense to report on the activity of insurance mediation performed by the Bank besides the ones already disclosed.

s) Cash and cash equivalents

In the preparation of the cash flow statement, the Bank considers "Cash and cash equivalents" to be the total of the captions "Cash and deposits at central banks" and "Balances due from other banks".

2. PRINCIPAL ESTIMATES AND UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of the financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made by the Bank's Board of Directors. These estimates are subjective by nature and can affect the amount of the assets and liabilities, income and costs, and also of the contingent liabilities disclosed.

Employees' post-employment benefits

Retirement and survival pensions have been estimated using actuarial valuations performed by external experts certified by the Portugal Insurance Institute (ISP). These estimates incorporate a set of financial and actuarial assumptions, including discount rate, mortality and disability tables, pension growth and wages, amongst others.

The assumptions adopted correspond to the best estimate of the Bank's Board of Directors regarding the future behaviour of the above referred variables.

Valuation of financial instruments not traded on active markets

Models and valuation techniques, such as those described in Notes 1.3 e) and f) above, are used to value financial instruments not traded on active markets. Consequently, the valuations correspond to the best estimate of the fair value of these instruments as at the balance sheet date. As mentioned in Note 1.3. e) to ensure an adequate segregation of duties, the valuation of these financial instruments is determined by an independent area of the trading function.

Determination of loans impairment losses

Loans impairment losses have been determined as explained in Note 1.3 c) above. Consequently, impairment assessment performed on an individual basis corresponds to the Bank's judgement as to the financial situation of their customers and its estimate of the value of the collaterals received with the corresponding impact on the expected future cash flows. Impairment losses determined on a collective basis are estimated based on historical parameters for comparable types of operations, considering estimates of default and recoverability.

Determination of impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets

As described in Note 1.3. e), the unrealised capital losses resulting from the valuation of these assets are recognised under the revaluation reserve. Nevertheless, whenever there is objective evidence of impairment, the accumulated capital losses recorded on that reserve are transferred to the income statement.

In the case of equity instruments, the determination of impairment losses may involve a degree of subjectivity. The Bank determines whether or not impairment on these assets exists through specific analysis at each balance sheet date taking into account the existence of any of the events foreseen in IAS 39.

In the case of debt instruments recorded in this category, unrealised capital losses are transferred from the revaluation reserve to the income statement whenever there are indications that default might occur, namely, due to financial difficulties of the issuer, failure to comply with other financial liabilities, or a significant deterioration in its rating.

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised based on the assumption of the existence of future taxable income. Furthermore, deferred tax assets and liabilities have been determined based on the interpretation of the tax legislation currently in force. Therefore, changes in tax legislation or in its interpretation by the competent authorities may have an impact on the amount of deferred taxes recorded.

The Bank, as an entity subject to the Bank of Portugal supervision, must present separate (nonconsolidated) financial statements in accordance with the Adjusted Accounting Standards as issued under Bank of Portugal Notice nº 1/2005, dated February 21, and which form the basis for determining the taxable income.

In order to adapt the Corporate Income Tax Code to the International Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union and to the new accounting system "Sistema de Normalização Contabilistica" (SNC), approved by Decree Law nº 158/2009, dated July 13, the Decree Law nº 159/2009, dated July 13, was also approved.

The above referred Decree Law amended some articles of the Corporate Income Tax Code and also revoked paragraph 2 of Article 57 of the State Budget Law of 2007. These changes came into force on January 1, 2010.

In this regard, these new rules were observed to compute the taxable income for the six month periods ended in June 30, 2014 and 2013, in accordance with the Bank's interpretation.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Determination of the outcome of the legal proceedings in progress

The outcome of the legal proceedings in progress, including those mentioned in Note 49, as well as the need for provisioning are estimated based on the opinion of the lawyers / legal advisors of the Bank, which, however may not come to materialize.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

In compliance with IFRS 10, which replaced IAS 27 and SIC 12, the Bank's consolidated financial statements include special purpose entities (SPE) created for securitization operations since the Bank retains the majority of the risks and benefits associated to their activity, namely the bonds issued by those entities with a higher degree of subordination (Note 45). These entities are referred to above as Leasetotta or Hipototta FTC (securitization loans funds) and Hipototta PLC or Leasetotta Ltd. (entities which subscribed the participating units issued by the securitization loans funds).

During the year 2013 the Bank increased its financial interest in Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário - Novimovest, managed by Santander Asset Management, SGFIM, S.A. ("SAM"), to a holding percentage higher than 50%. According to the accounting policy adopted by the Bank the Investment Funds are consolidated (by the full consolidation method) when control exists, i.e., when more than 50% of their participating units are held by it.

From July 1, 2013, the Bank started to consolidate that Fund.

For the above referred reasons, on December 31, 2013, the Bank also consolidated Fundo de Investimento Mobiliário Aberto de Obrigações de Taxa Variável – Santander Multiobrigações, also managed by SAM.

On December 31, 2013, the Funds consolidated for the first time during that year, their activity, the percentage of participation held by the Bank and the amount paid in their acquisition were as follows:

Entity Activity % of
participation
Amount
paid
Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário Aberto - Novimovest Real estate Investment
Fund
71.60% 275,910
Fundo de Investimento Mobiliário Aberto de Obrigações de Taxa
Variável - Santander Multiobrigações
Investment Fund 64.32% 239,249

Since the participating units in the Investment Funds referred to above were recorded at their fair value, determined based on the value of the participating units disclosed periodically by SAM in the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) site, and given that all the subscriptions of participating units were based on that source of valuation, no goodwill was generated on those acquisitions. Moreover, all subscriptions of participating units in those Funds had cash in return.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance sheet of those Funds had the following breakdown:

30-06-2014 31-12-2013

In accordance with European Central Bank Regulation nº 2,818/98, dated December 1, as from January 1, 1999 credit institutions established in Member States shall maintain minimum cash reserves at the participating National Central Banks.

The minimum cash reserves earn interest at the average of the rates for the principal refinancing operations of the European Central Bank System.

The Bank carries out derivative transactions in the scope of its activity, managing its own positions based on expectations for the market's evolution, satisfying customer's needs, or covering positions of a structural nature (hedging).

The Bank trades derivatives, namely exchange rates contracts, interest rate contracts or a combination of both. These transactions are carried out over-the-counter (OTC).

The negotiation of derivatives on over the counter (OTC) markets is based, usually, on a standard bilateral contract, which encompasses all the derivative transactions between the parties. In the case of professional relationships, an ISDA Master Agreement - International Swaps and Derivatives Association. In the case of customer relationships, a specific agreement of the Bank.

In these type of contracts the compensation of liabilities in the event of default is ruled (the scope of such compensation is provided in the contract and is regulated by Portuguese law and, for contracts executed with foreign counterparties or under foreign law by the law applicable in the relevant jurisdiction).

The derivative contract may also include an agreement of collateralization of the credit risk that arises from the transactions covered by it. Note that the derivative contract between two parties normally includes all OTC derivative transactions made between those two parties, whether they are for hedging or not.

According to IAS 39, embedded derivatives are also separated and recorded as derivatives, in order to recognize in profit or loss the fair value of those operations.

All derivatives (embedded or autonomous) are accounted at fair value.

Derivatives are also recorded in off balance sheet accounts by their theoretical value (notional amount). Notional amount is the reference amount for the calculation of payments and receipts resulting from the operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

The fair value corresponds to the price of the derivatives if they were traded on the market at the reference date. The evolution of the fair value of the derivatives is recognized in the appropriate balance sheet accounts and has an immediate impact in the income statement.

The Bank's intention is to immediately sell all properties received as settlement of defaulting loans. These properties are classified as non-current assets held for sale and are recorded upon their initial recognition at the lowest of their fair value less expected selling costs and the accounting value of the loans recovered. Subsequently, these assets are measured at the lowest of its initial recognition value and its fair value less costs to sell and they are not depreciated. The unrealized losses on these assets, thus determined, are recognized in the income statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

The valuation of these properties is made in accordance with one of the following methodologies applied according to the specific situation of each asset:

a) Market method

The market method has by reference the transaction values of similar and comparable properties to the asset being studied, obtained through market research, and carried out in the place where the asset is located.

b) Income method

The purpose of this method is to estimate the value of the property from the capitalization of its net rent discounted to the present moment, through the discounted cash flows methodology.

c) Cost method

The cost method consists in determining the replacement value of the property taking into consideration the cost of build another one with identical functionality, less the amount of functional, physical and economical depreciation/obsolescence verified.

The valuations of the properties mentioned above are performed by specialized independent entities, which are accredited in the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM).

In 2011, following a debt settlement agreement referring to a loan granted, the Bank received 2,748,238 participating units of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário Fechado - Imorent for an amount of tEuros 18,663. These participating units were initially recorded in the caption "Available-for-sale financial assets". Nevertheless, in the year 2012, the Bank reclassified these participating units to this caption as it considers that they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and that the sale is probable to occur in the short term.

The impact of the fair value valuation of the investment properties is recorded in the income statement caption "Other operating income - Unrealized gains/losses on investment properties" (Note 39).

Investment properties held by the Bank are valued mostly on an annual basis, using specialized independent entities, in accordance with the valuation methodologies described in Note 12.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51)

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

If an increase in the rent value per square meter occurs or an increase in the vacancy rate or a decrease in the yield occurs, the fair value of the investment properties will increase. On the other hand, if an increase in the construction or sale costs occurs, the fair value of the investment properties will decrease.

Under the terms of the agreement signed in August 2008 between Caixa Geral de Depósitos, S.A. (CGD) and BST, on June 4, 2009 Santotta – Internacional, SGPS, S.A. (Santotta) and BST founded Partang, SGPS, S.A. (Partang) through the delivery of shares of Banco Caixa Geral Totta de Angola, S.A. ("BCGTA"), previously denominated by Banco Totta de Angola, S.A., corresponding to 50.5% and 0.5% of its share capital, respectively. Under the terms of the above referred agreement, on July 2, 2009 CGD subscribed the total amount of Partang's capital increase. After this operation, Partang was 50% owned by CGD and 50% by the Santander Group (of which 49.51% was held by the subsidiary Santotta and 0.49% was held directly by BST).

Under the terms of the agreement entered into between BST and CGD, on July 5, 2010 CGD exercised its purchase option over 1% of Partang's share capital. Following this operation, the Bank owned 49% of the share capital of Partang, having lost its joint control over BCGTA. In accordance with IAS 27, the Bank measured the remaining participating interest at the date when joint control was lost at fair value. Thus, the participation started to be recognised in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

On the other hand, the Bank has a put option to sell its participation in Partang to CGD, exercisable during the period of 4 years starting July 2, 2011. Additionally, CGD has a second call option on the Bank's participation in Partang, with a limit of 80% of Partang's share capital and voting rights, to be exercise in the first month of the fifth anniversary of the date of the share capital increase of Partang (July 2, 2009). CGD on July 2, 2014 did not exercise its call option.

The participation in Benim – Sociedade Imobiliária, S.A. is held indirectly by the Bank through Totta Urbe – Empresa de Administração e Construções, S.A. (Totta Urbe).

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Partang owns 51% of Banco Caixa Geral Totta de Angola, S.A..

Following the changes of the tax legislation for the year 2014, the Bank started to measure and recognize the deferred tax assets related to tax losses carried forward at a rate of 23% and the deferred taxes associated with temporary differences at a rate of 29.5%.

The dividends distributed to the Bank by its subsidiaries and associated companies located in Portugal or in a European Union member state, are not taxed in result of the arrangements laid down in Article 46 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, which provides for the elimination of double taxation on distributed profits.

Tax authorities may review the Bank's tax situation during a period of four years, except in the cases of tax losses carried forward, as well as of any other tax deduction or credit, in which cases the right to the corrections expires in the year of the use of that right.

The Bank was subject to tax inspections up to the year 2011, inclusive. As a result of the inspection for 2011, the Bank was subject to an additional assessment of Corporate Income Tax relating to autonomous taxation and several corrections to the tax losses reported in that year. In terms of Stamp Duty Tax, the Bank was also subject to an additional assessment. The corrections made to the tax base related to several matters, including, amongst others, adjustments to early retirement and utilization of provisions for overdue loans. Some of these corrections are only temporary.

As regards the additional tax assessments received, the Bank has paid them. However, the Bank has challenged the majority of those additional tax assessments.

The Bank records in the liability caption "Provisions" the amount considered to be necessary to cover the risks arising from the additional tax assessments received as well as from contingencies relating to the years not yet reviewed by the Tax Authorities (Note 22).

During the year 2013, the Bank proceeded with the acquisition of 124,258 treasury shares by the amount of tEuros 752. During the first half of 2014, there were no acquisitions of own shares.

Within the terms of Dispatch nº 408/99, of June 4, published in the Diário da República – I Série B, nº 129, the share premium, amounting to tEuros 193,390, cannot be used to pay out dividends or to purchase treasury shares.

The other equity instruments refer to supplementary capital contributions made by the shareholder Santander Totta, SGPS, S.A., which neither bear interest nor have a defined redemption term. These instruments can only be redeemed by decision of the Bank's Board of Directors with the previous approval of the Bank of Portugal.

During the first half of 2014 the Bank paid dividends in the amount of tEuros 1,202 (net of the dividends allocated to own shares).

During the year 2013, the Bank did not pay dividends.

Deferred taxes were calculated based on current legislation and reflect the best estimate of the impact of realization of potential capital gains or losses included in the revaluation reserves.

The revaluation reserves cannot be used to pay dividends or to increase capital.

During 1998, under Decree-Law nº 31/98, of February 11, the Bank revalued its tangible fixed assets which resulted in an increase in the respective value, net of accumulated depreciation, of approximately tEuros 23,245, which was recognised in revaluation reserves. The net amount resulting from the revaluation may only be used for capital increases or to offset losses through the use (amortization) or sale of the assets it relates to.

Legal reserve

In accordance with the provisions of Decree Law nº 298/92, of December 31, amended by Decree Law nº 201/2002, of September 26, BST set up a legal reserve fund up to the amount of the share capital or of the sum of the free reserves and the retained earnings, if greater. For this purpose, a portion of the annual net income on a stand-alone basis is transferred to this reserve each year until the aforementioned amount is reached.

This reserve may only be used to offset accumulated losses or to increase share capital.

Merger reserve

Under the current legislation, the merger reserve is equivalent to the legal reserve and may only be used to offset accumulated losses or to increase the share capital.

Deposit Guarantee Fund

The Deposit Guarantee Fund was created in November 1994 in accordance with Decree-Law nº 298/92, dated December 31, to guarantee customers' deposits in accordance with the limits established in the General Regime for Credit Institutions. The initial contribution to the Fund, which was established by Ministerial Order of the Ministry of Finance, was made through the delivery of cash and deposit securities, and was amortized over 60 months as from January 1995. Except as mentioned in the following paragraph, regular annual contributions to the Fund are recorded as an expense in the year to which they relate.

In 2011, as allowed by the Bank of Portugal, the Bank paid 90% of the annual contribution to the Fund, in the amount of tEuros 3,918. In that year, the Bank also accepted an irrevocable commitment to the Deposit Guarantee Fund to pay the remaining 10% of the annual contribution if and when required to do so. The total accumulated unpaid amount of this commitment as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 amounted to tEuros 54,092. Assets pledged as guarantee to the Bank of Portugal are recorded in off-balance sheet accounts at market value. During the first half of 2014 and during the year of 2013, the Bank paid the full amount of the annual contribution amounting to tEuros 4,222 and tEuros 4,642, respectively.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, this liability arise to tEuros 3,640 and tEuros 3,178, respectively.

44. EMPLOYEES' POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

For the purpose of determining BST's past service liability relating to the servicing and retired employees, actuarial studies were carried out by Towers Watson (Portugal) Unipessoal Limitada. The present value of the past service liability and the corresponding current service cost were determined based on the Projected Unit Credit method.

The liabilities of BST with retirement pensions, healthcare benefits and death subsidy on June 30, 2014 and in the four previous years, as well as the respective coverage, are as follows:

30-06-2014 31-12-2013 31-12-2012 31-12-2011 31-12-2010

The increase in the responsibilities in the year 2013 was mainly explained by the decrease in the discount rate used to calculate the responsibilities for past services.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

In 2011, a three party agreement was established, between the Finance Ministry, the Portuguese Association of Banks and the Federation for the Financial Sector (FEBASE), regarding the transfer to the Social Security of part of the liabilities with pensioners who at December 31, 2011 were covered by the substitutive regime of the Social Security under the Collective Labour Agreement (ACT) in force for the banking sector. As a result, the Bank's Pension Fund assets covering such liabilities were also transferred to the Social Security. Following Decree Law nº 127/2011, dated December 31, the value of the pension liabilities transferred to the Social Security was determined considering the following assumptions:

Mortality table male population TV 73/77 less than 1 year
Mortality table female population TV 88/90
Actuarial technical rate (discount rate) 4%

The liabilities transferred to the Social Security amounted to tEuros 456,111 and were determined based on the assumptions described above.

The liabilities calculated by the Bank immediately before the transfer, according to the financial and actuarial assumptions used by it amounted to tEuros 435,260.

The difference between the liabilities transferred to the Social Security calculated using the assumptions set out in Decree Law nº 127/2011, dated December 31 (tEuros 456,111) and those used by the Bank (tEuros 435,260), amounting to tEuros 20,851, was recorded in the caption "Staff costs" of the income statement for 2011.

The assumptions used by the Bank for the determination of the liabilities immediately before the transfer to the Social Security, were the following ones:

Serving
Employee's
Retired
Employee's
Mortality table TV 88/90 TV 88/90
Actuarial technical rate (discount rate) 5.92% 5.00%
Salary growth rate 2.35% -
Pension growth rate 1.35% 1.35%

The liabilities determined considering the above referred assumptions amounted to tEuros 1,186,387, of which tEuros 435,260 corresponded to the liabilities transferred to the Social Security, as mentioned above.

The main assumptions used by the Bank for determining its liabilities with pensions on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were as follows:

Mortality table TV 88/90
Pension fund return rate 4.00%
Actuarial technical rate (discount rate)
- Serving employees 4.30%
- Retired employees 3.54%
Salary growth rate for 2015 and 2016 (2014 and 2015) 0.50%
Salary growth rate after 2016 (2015) 2.35%
Pension growth rate for 2015 and 2016 (2014 and 2015) 0.00%
Pension growth rate after 2016 (2015) 1.35%
Inflation rate 1.75%

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the discount rates used of 4.30% for serving employees and 3.54% for retired employees correspond to an average rate of 4%, more specifically, the use of different rates for different populations leads to the same liability amount that would be determined if a rate of 4% had been used for the entire population.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

To determine the amount of the Social Security pension which, under the terms of the ACT of the banking sector should reduce the pension to be provided under that ACT, the following assumptions were used on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Salary growth rate to calculate the deductible pension:

For 2015 and 2016 (2014 and 2015) 0.50%
After 2016 (2015) 2.35%
Inflation (nº 1 of Article 27) 1.75%
Inflation (nº 2 of Article 27) 2.00%
Sustainability factor accumulated until 2013 Reduction of 4.78%
Sustainability factor accumulated until 2012 Reduction of 3.92%
Sustainability factor accumulated until 2011 Reduction of 3.14%
Future sustainability factor Reduction of 0.5% per year

On the other hand, Decree-Law nº 167-E/2013, of December 31, changed the retirement age for the general Social Security regime for the years 2014 and 2015 to 66 years old. Nevertheless, the sustainability factor charge will not apply to the pensioners who retire at that age.

The discount rate was determined based on the market rates of low risk corporate bonds for similar maturities to the ones related to the settlement of the liabilities.

The economic environment and the sovereign debt crisis of the South of Europe have brought volatility and disruption to the debt market in the Euro Zone with a consequent abrupt reduction in the market yields of the debt of the companies with the best ratings and have limited the available basket of these bonds. In order to maintain the representativeness of the discount rate taking into consideration the universe of the Euro Zone, on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank incorporated in the determination of the discount rate information regarding interest rates that is possible to obtain on bonds denominated in Euros, including public debt, which it had considered to be of high quality in terms of credit risk.

Changes in the Bank's past service liability for the semester ended on June 30, 2014 and the year ended on December 31, 2013, may be detailed as follows, with regard to the Bank's pension plan:

30-06-2014 31-12-2013
Liabilities at the beginning of the period 846,885 794,508
Current service cost 892 1,054

The liabilities with defined benefit pension plans exposes the Bank to the following risks:

  • Investment risk the discounted value of the liabilities is calculated based on a discount rate determined by reference to bonds denominated in Euros with high quality in terms of credit risk; if the profitability of the Pension Fund is lower than the discount rate, it will create a shortfall in the funding of the liabilities.
  • Interest rate risk a decrease in the bonds interest rate will increase pension liabilities; however, it will be partially offset by an increase in the profitability of the Pension Fund.
  • Longevity risk the discounted value of the liabilities is calculated considering the best estimate of the expected mortality of the participants before and after the date of retirement. An increase in life expectancy of plan participants will increase pension liabilities.
  • Salary risk the discounted value of the liabilities is calculated based in an assumption of the estimated future salaries of the participants. Thus, an increase in participant's salaries will increase pension liabilities.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount of liabilities associated with health care (SAMS) resulting from a 1% change in the contribution rate can be presented as follows:

Between July 2003 and February 2011, BST securitized part of its mortgage loan portfolio, through twelve operations, with a total initial amount of tEuros 23,250,000. The loans were sold at their nominal value (book value) to Hipototta FTC Funds, with the exception of the last securitization operations (Hipototta nº 11 and Hipototta nº 12), in which the credits were sold to Tagus – Sociedade de Titularização de Créditos, S.A. (Tagus).

In April 2009, the former Totta IFIC securitized part of its leasing and long-term rental portfolio through an operation with a total initial amount of tEuros 1,300,000. The loans were sold at their nominal value (book value) to a securitization fund called LeaseTotta nº 1 FTC.

In October 2009 BST liquidated Hipototta no. 9 Ltd. which was established under the securitization operation of November 2008, the initial amount of the loans sold being tEuros 1,550,000. The liquidation occurred after a "Mortgage Retransfer Agreement", under which the Bank repurchased the previously securitised loans for tEuros 1,462,000.

In April 2010, BST liquidated Hipototta nº 6 Ltd, which was established under the securitization operation of October 2007, the initial amount of the loans sold being tEuros 2,200,000. The liquidation occurred after a "Mortgage Retransfer Agreement", under which the Bank repurchased the previously securitised loans for tEuros 1,752,357.

In July 2010, BST securitized part of its mortgage loan portfolio, through an operation denominated Hipototta nº 11 for the total initial amount of tEuros 2,000,000. The loans were sold at their nominal value (book value) to Tagus.

In January and February 2011, BST entered into "Mortgage Retransfer Agreements" with Hipototta nº 2 PLC, Hipototta nº 3 PLC and Hipototta nº 10 Ltd. under which it repurchased the loans previously securitised, by the amounts of tEuros 880,636, tEuros 1,548,396 and tEuros 803,494, respectively and the Notes held in its portfolio related to these securitizations have been redeemed at their nominal value.

In May and June of 2012, BST entered into "Mortgage Retransfer Agreements" with Hipototta nº 11 and Hipototta nº 12. Under these agreements BST repurchased the previously securitised loans for tEuros 1,719,660 and tEuros 1,197,009, respectively, and was reimbursed relating to the Notes it held in its portfolio associated to these securitizations at the respective nominal value.

In March 2011, BST securitised part of its portfolio of commercial paper and loans granted to companies through an operation denominated BST SME nº 1, with a total initial amount of tEuros 2,000,000. Additionally, in June 2011 the Bank proceeded to the securitization of part of its consumer credit portfolio through an operation denominated Totta Consumer nº 1 with a total initial amount of tEuros 1,000,000. The credits from these operations were sold at their nominal value to Tagus. In March 2012, BST liquidated the BST SME nº 1. This liquidation took place through the "SME Receivables Retransfer Agreement", under which the Bank repurchased the credits initially securitised for tEuros 1,792,480.

In October 2011, BST liquidated Hipototta nº 8. The liquidation occurred after a "Mortgage Retransfer Agreement" under which the Bank repurchased the previously securitised loans for tEuros 907,828.

In August 2012, BST liquidated the Totta Consumer nº 1. This liquidation occurred after a "Consumer Receivables Retransfer Agreement" under which the Bank repurchased the credits initially securitized for tEuros 626,373.

In May 2013, BST liquidated Hipototta nº 7. The liquidation occurred after a "Mortgage Retransfer Agreement" under which the Bank repurchased the previously securitised credits for tEuros 1,196,403.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Part of the Funds Hipototta and Leasetotta are managed by Navegator – Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Titularização de Créditos, S.A. (Navegator). BST continues to manage the loan contracts, transferring all the amounts received under the loan contracts to Hipototta and Leasetotta Funds and to Tagus. Santander Group do not hold any direct or indirect participation in Navegator or in Tagus.

To finance these operations, Hipototta and LeaseTotta FTC Funds issued participating units for the same amount of the loans portfolios purchased, which were fully subscribed by the Hipototta and LeaseTotta PLC/Ltd Funds, both incorporated in Ireland.

Furthermore, Hipototta and LeaseTotta FTC Funds deliver all the amounts received from BST and from the Portuguese Treasury ("Direcção Geral do Tesouro") to the Hipototta PLC/Ltd Funds and to Leasetotta nº 1 Limited, segregating the instalments between principal and interest.

To finance these operations, the Hipottota and the LeaseTotta PLC/Ltd Funds issued bonds with different levels of subordination and rating and, consequently, of return. On June 30, 2014, the bonds issued and still outstanding are as follows:

The bonds issued by Hipototta nº 1 PLC and Hipototta nº 4 PLC bear interest quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The bonds issued by Hipototta PLC nº 5 and Hipototta nº 7 Ltd bear interest quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 31 and November 30 of each year. The bonds issued by LeaseTotta nº 1 Ltd bear interest quarterly on January 30, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year.

BST has the option to early redeem the bonds on the above-mentioned dates. For all Hipototta and Leasetotta PLC/Ltd BST has the possibility of repurchasing the loan portfolios at their nominal value when their outstanding amount is equal to or less than 10% of the initial amount of the operations.

Furthermore, up to five days before each quarterly interest payment date, Hipototta and Leasetotta PLC/Ltd have the option to make partial repayments of the Classes A, B and C notes, as well as the Classes D and E notes in the case of Hipototta PLC nº 5, in order to adjust the amount of the liability to that of the outstanding mortgage loan portfolios.

The Class D bonds of Hipototta nº 1 and Hipototta nº 4, the Class F bonds for Hipottota nº 5 and the Class C bonds for LeaseTotta nº 1 Ltd are the last liabilities to be paid.

Remuneration of these classes of bonds corresponds to the difference between the income generated by the securitised loan portfolio and the sum of all costs of the operation, namely:

  • Taxation;
  • Expenses and commissions calculated over the amount of the portfolios (custodian fee and service fee, both charged by BST, and management fee, charged by the Funds);
  • Interest on the other classes of notes; and
  • Impairment losses.

When the securitization operations were launched, the estimated income of the securitised loans portfolios included in the calculation of the remuneration of the Class D bonds for Hipototta PLC nº 1 and nº 4 corresponded to an average annual rate of 1.1% and 0.9%, respectively. For the Class F notes of Hipototta PLC nº 5 it corresponded to an annual average rate of 0.9% of the total credit portfolio. For the Class C bonds of LeaseTotta nº 1, it corresponded to an annual average rate of 0.7% of the total credit portfolio.

When the securitizations were issued, subordinated loans were granted by BST to Hipotottas, which correspondend to facilities / credit lines in case of need for liquidity by Hipotottas. At the same time, there were also signed "Swap Agreements" between the Santander Group and the first issued Hipotottas and between BST and the remaining securitization vehicles to cover the interest rate risk.

MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BOARDS

Board of Directors

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the loans and advances to members of management and supervisory boards, considered key management personnel of the Bank, amounted to tEuros 947 and tEuros 1,009, respectively. Fixed and variable remuneration at these dates amounted to tEuros 3,500 and tEuros 2,725, respectively (Note 40).

The Santander Group, which includes BST, also has a worldwide long term incentive plan, which is described in Note 47 and is divided into cycles. For the members of the Board of Directors, the amount recorded in the caption "Staff costs" in the reporting dates ended on June 30, 2014 and 2013, is presented below:

30-06-2014 30-06-2013

--- ----
6 60
== ==

The cycles of the share plans linked to objectives of the members of the Board of Directors ended on the dates indicated below and shares were attributed at the following amount per share:

Cycle Maturity date Number of shares attributed Value per share
First July 6, 2009 97,676 8.49 Euros
Second July 8, 2010 136,719 8.77 Euros
Third July 11, 2011 133,727 7.51 Euros
Fourth July 9, 2012 35,850 4.88 Euros
Fifth July 31, 2013 - n.a.

With regard to post-employment benefits, the members of the Board of Directors with a labour contract with BST are included in the pension plan of the Collective Labour Agreement ("Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho" - ACT) for the banking sector subscribed by the Bank. The general conditions of this plan are described in Note 1.3. l).

In the Shareholders' General Meeting held on May 30, 2007, the BST's shareholders approved the "Regulation for supplementary attribution of retirement pensions for age or disability" for the executive members of the Board of Directors of the former Totta that are executive members of the BST's Board of Directors (Executive Committee) which were in office for more than fifteen years, consecutive or interpolated. Under this Regulation they will be entitled to a pension supplement equivalent to 80% of its gross annual salary. The amount of the supplementary retirement pension shall be determined by the Remuneration Committee when the time in office is less than fifteen years. For these situations, it is defined that the supplement of the pension will be 65% of gross annual salary, whenever the time in office is equal to or is more than ten years, and 75% of gross annual salary, whenever the time in office is equal to or is more than twelve years. This defined benefit plan is a supplementary plan dependent from the general Social Security system.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the liabilities with this plan amounted to tEuros 16,042 and tEuros 15,598, respectively, and were covered by a provision of the same amount recorded in the caption "Provision for pensions and other charges" (Note 22).

With regard to employment termination benefits, in accordance with the Commercial Company's Law ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais"), whenever the term of a member of the management or supervisory board is early terminated by BST, it will pay the member the future remuneration that he/she would be entitled to up to the end of its term.

47. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

The "Share Plan Linked to the Santander Group's Objectives" was approved in a Shareholders' General Meeting of Banco Santander, S.A.. This plan is divided into cycles, and so far six cycles have been approved. BST is also included in this plan.

Each beneficiary of the plan has the right to receive a maximum number of Banco Santander, S.A.'s shares. The final number allocated is determined by multiplying the maximum number of shares initially allocated by the sum of coefficients indexed to the evolution of Banco Santander, S.A. in comparison with other entities included in a predefined group. That comparison is performed taking in consideration two parameters: total shareholders' return and increase in earnings per share for the first three cycles and for the remaining the total shareholders' return only.

The maturity dates of the cycles for the "Share Plan Linked to the Santander Group's Objectives", the total number of shares granted and the value per share are as follows:

Total number
Cycle Maturity date of shares granted Value per share
First July 6, 2009 326,681 8.49
Second July 8, 2010 540,822 8.77
Third July 11, 2011 571,640 7.51
Fourth July 9, 2012 200,897 4.88
Fifth July 31, 2013 - n.a.

As described in Note 1.3. o), the accounting recognition of the share incentive plans consists in recognizing the right of the Bank's employees to such instruments in the income statement for the year under the caption "Staff costs", as it corresponds to a remuneration for services rendered. Management, hedging and implementation of the plans are provided by Banco Santander S.A. for all employees covered by the worldwide Plan.

On June 30, 2014 and 2013, the total cost of the "Share Plan Linked to the Santander Group's Objectives" for all the employees of the Bank covered by it was as follows:

Notes:

(a) Reversal of the rights granted to beneficiaries who have not completed the requirements of permanence in the Santander Group established in the Regulation Plan.

For the "Share Plan Linked to the Santander Group's Objectives" in force on June 30, 2014 (6th cycle), the fair value was determined in accordance with the following methodology:

  • It was considered that the beneficiaries will remain in the Santander Group during the period of the plan;
  • The value associated with the relative position of the Total Return to Shareholders (TRS) was determined at the vested date based on the report performed by an independent expert who carried out a stochastic valuation using a "MonteCarlo" model with 10,000 simulations performed to determine the TRS for each entity included in the group of comparables. The results (each one representing the delivery of a number of shares) are sorted on a descending basis, calculating a weighted average and discounting the amount at a risk free interest rate.
PI14
51.35%
6.06%
4.073%

(*) Historical volatility of the corresponding period (2 or 3 years)

Application of the above referred simulation model results in a percentage of 55.39% for PI14, to which 50% of the value allocated to determine the accounting cost of the TRS incentive is applied. Since the valuation refers to a market condition, it is not subject to adjustment as from the allocation date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SEMESTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

In accordance with IFRS 7, the Bank's financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value are classified into three levels:

  • Level 1 Financial instruments recorded at fair value based on quotes published in active markets, comprising mainly government debt, some private debt, investment funds and shares.
  • Level 2 Financial instruments recorded at fair value based on internal valuation models using observable market data as significant inputs. This category comprises some securities included in the portfolio of available-for-sale financial assets valued with indicative bids provided by external counterparties and the majority of the derivative financial instruments used for hedging and trading. It should be pointed out that the internal valuation models used correspond mainly to discounted cash flow models and "Black-Scholes" based models for options and structured products. The discounted cash flows models use the interest rate curves applicable to each currency observable in the market ("present value method"), increased by the credit spread of the issuer or entity with similar rating.

For derivative financial instruments, the main valuation techniques are as follows:

Derivative instrument Main Valuation Techniques
Forwards Present Value Model
Interest Rate Swaps Present Value Model
Currency Swaps Present Value Model
Equity Swaps Present Value Model
FRA's Present Value Model
Currency Options Black-Scholes Model, Monte Carlo Model
Equity Options Black-Scholes Model, Heston Model
Interest Rates Options Black-Scholes Model, Heath-Jarrow-Morton Model
Options - Other Black-Scholes Model, Monte Carlo Model, Heath-Jarrow-Morton Model
Caps/Floors Black-Scholes Model, Monte Carlo Model, Heath-Jarrow-Morton Model

Additionally, in the calculation of Credit Value Adjustments and Debit Value Adjustments to financial derivative instruments, the following inputs were used:

  • Counterparties with listed credit default swaps published price quotations in active markets;
  • Counterparties without listed credit default swaps:
  • Published price quotations in active markets for counterparties with similar risk; or
  • Probability of default estimated taking into consideration the internal rating assigned to the client (see section credit risk of these Notes) x loss given default (specific for project finance clients and 60% for other clients).

When the inputs used in the valuation of derivative financial instruments resulted from market observable data, the Bank classified its derivative financial instruments valued at fair value in Level 2. When such valuation resulted from internal information prepared by the Bank, those financial instruments were classified in Level 3.

  • Level 3 – In this level the Bank classifies the financial instruments that are valued using internal models with some inputs that do not correspond to market observable data. Some unquoted securities for which the Bank uses market data extrapolations were classified in this category.

Closing balance 13,817 - 337,401 351,218

The reclassifications occurred in the first semester of 2014 to Level 3 can be explained as follows:

  • Reclassification from Level 2 of debt instruments whose valuation was based, essentially, in credit spreads calculated internally by the Bank;
  • Acquisitions of debt instruments whose valuation was based, essentially, in credit spreads calculated internally by the Bank;
  • Reclassification to Level 2 of derivative financial instruments whose respective Credit Value Adjustments / Debit Value Adjustments were calculated taking into consideration market credit spreads.

On June 30, 2014, the valuation techniques, the inputs used and the relationship between those inputs and the fair value determined for financial instruments classified in Level 3 were as follows:

To determine the fair value of financial instruments recorded at amortized cost or historical cost, the valuation methods used consisted of valuation techniques, namely discounting future cash flows. On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the financial instruments recorded at amortized cost or historical cost, presents the following detail by valuation methodology:

The main assumptions used in the calculation of fair value, by type of financial instrument, were the following:

  • Future cash flows of applications and resources in credit institutions were discounted using the interest rate curves of the money market;
  • The fair value of variable rate loans was determined considering the average spread of the production in the last quarter, which has been used to discount the future portfolio cash flows. Regarding the fixed rate loans, future cash flows were discounted at the average rates applied by the Bank to new credit operations in the last quarter;
  • The fair value of demand deposits from customers was considered to be equal to their book value. For term deposits, the Bank used the average rates for deposits contracted in the last month of the period for each type of deposit;
  • The fair value of debt securities issued was determined by discounting the future cash flows considering the market conditions of similar issues at the end of the semester/year;
  • The fair value of subordinated liabilities was determined by discounting the future cash flows at market rates taking in consideration the residual term of each issue.

RISK MANAGEMENT

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk management by the Bank includes identification, measurement, integration and evaluation of different credit risk exposures and analysis of return in relation to risk, on an overall basis, as well as for each area of activity.

Credit risk management is provided by an independent area, the Group Risk Area, which is responsible for managing the special client vigilance system, credit risk segmentation based on the characteristics of customers and products and for the scoring systems (applicable to mortgage loans, consumer credit and credit cards) and ratings used by the Bank.

Counterparty risk consists in the potential credit risk on transactions in financial markets, corresponding to the possibility of non-compliance by the counterparty with the contracted terms and subsequent financial loss for the Bank. Such transactions include the purchase and sale of securities, the contracting of sale transactions with repurchase agreements, the loan of securities and derivative instruments. Considering the complexity and volume of the transactions, as well as the requirements of an adequate control of the consolidated risks with certain customer segments, a perimeter control is defined in accordance with the segments involved.

Control of these risks is carried out on a daily basis using an integrated system that records the limits approved, updates the positions in real time, and provides information on the limits available and aggregate exposure, also in real time, for the different products and maturities. The system also enables that the concentration of risk by groups of customers/counterparties to be controlled on a transversal basis (at several levels).

Derivative position risk (known as Equivalent Credit Risk) is determined as the sum of the present value of each contract (or present cost of substitution) with its Potential Risk, a component that reflects the estimated maximum expected value until maturity, in accordance with the volatility of the underlying market and contracted cash flow structure.

For specific customer segments (namely global corporate customers) the Bank has implemented credit limits that consider economic capital, incorporating variables relating to the credit quality of each counterparty in the quantitative control.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the maximum exposure to credit risk and the corresponding book value of the financial instruments are made up as follows:

The risk analysis for customers or economic groups where the Bank has an exposure of more than 500,000 Euros are made by risk analysts that follow customers and are supported by an internally developed rating model approved by the regulators. The rating attributed to the customers', which can go from 1 to 9, is dependent upon its risk level and the probability of default in one year that the Bank monitors and calibrates in a constant and in a regular way. The rating is determined based on an analysis of the following parameters:

  • . Demand/Market;
  • . Partners/Management;
  • . Access to credit;
  • . Profitability;
  • . Generation of funds;
  • . Solvency.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

A classification from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum) is attributed to these factors in accordance with the following weighting:

Weighting parameters Large Companies Small and medium size Companies
Demand/Market 20% 20%
Partners/Management 15% 15%
Acess to credit 10% 10%
Profitability 15%
Generation of funds 25% 55%
Solvency 15%

The rating is calculated by analysts, based on information supplied by the customer, general information of the business sector and external databases. The final rating, by each weighting parameter, is subsequently introduced into the Bank's IT system.

In general terms, the Bank's internal rating classification may be described in the following manner:

Rating 1 – 3: Customer with high credit risk;

Rating 4 – 6: Customer with medium credit risk;

Rating 7 – 9: Customer with low credit risk.

Restructured credit

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the restructured credit operations were identified in accordance with the Instruction nº 32/2013 of Bank of Portugal (which replaced the Instruction nº 18/2012), which established the definition of restructured credit due to client's financial difficulties.

According to the referred Instruction, the institutions shall identify and mark in their information systems credit operations of clients with a difficult financial situation whenever there are changes to the terms and conditions of those operations (namely, postponement of the reimbursement deadline, introduction of grace periods, capitalized interest, reduction in interest rates, forgiveness of interest or principal) or the institution enters into new credit lines for settling (totally or partially) the existing debt service, in which cases the institutions should include the reference "restructured credit by financial difficulties of the client."

A client is considered to be in a difficult financial position whenever he has failed to fulfil any of its financial obligations to the institution or if it is predictable, given the information available, that such situation will occur.

Unmarking restructured credit by financial difficulties of the client can only occur after a minimum period of two years from the date of its restructuring, provided that certain conditions are cumulatively verified. So far BST has not unmarked any restructured credit.

On June 30, 2014, the portfolio of restructured credits by restructuring measure adopted, had the following detail:

LIQUIDITY RISK

The liquidity risk management policy is decided in the top organization structure responsible for Asset and Liability Management (ALM), the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO), which is chaired by the President of the Executive Committee and includes the members of the Executive Committee responsible for the Financial, Treasury, Commercial, Marketing and International Areas. The ALCO Committee meets monthly and analyses balance sheet risks and strategic options.

The following balance sheet risk management limits are defined for the ALM Area:

  • Limits aimed to control interest rate risk, namely financial margin (NIM) sensitivity and asset value (MVE) sensitivity to unexpected fluctuations in interest rates; and
  • Limits aimed to control liquidity risk through liquidity coefficient and accumulated net illiquidity indicators.

The Bank financing policy considers the evolution of the balance sheet components, the structural position of the maturity terms of its assets and liabilities, its net inter-bank debt level given the credit lines available, the dispersion of the maturities and the minimization of funding activity related costs.

Under its liquidity management policy, on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank has a Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) Program, under which tEuros 32,300 and tEuros 141,830 are used, respectively.

It should be noted that the Bank does not analyse the liquidity risk of financial instruments held for trading.

The projected cash flows of the financial instruments were determined based on principles and assumptions used by the Bank to manage and control liquidity resulting from its operations, namely the following ones:

  • The projected cash flows of assets and liabilities with variable remuneration associated with the interest rate curve were calculated considering the forward interest rate curve;
  • Financial instruments classified as "non-structural" were considered as maturing on demand, except for equity instruments recorded as available-for-sale financial assets, which were considered as having an undetermined maturity. Non-structural assets and liabilities correspond to assets not subject to changes in interest rates (cash, balances due from banks and equity instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets) and assets and liabilities held for trading, the management of which is based on the control of the exposure to the market risk. In this regard, the Bank considers the fair value of assets and liabilities held for trading as being its market value on demand;
  • Credit line operations without defined maturity or periodically renewable, such as bank overdrafts and current account credit lines, were considered to have an average maturity of 25 months;
  • The projected cash flows of demand deposits were considered as being payable on demand.

MARKET RISK

Market risk generally consists in the potential fluctuation of a financial instrument value due to unanticipated variations in the market variables, such as interest rates, exchange rates, credit spreads, equity security prices, precious metals and commodities.

The standard methodology applied for the Bank trading activity is Value at Risk (VaR). Historical simulation with a 99% confidence level and a time horizon of one day is used as the basis, being applied statistical adjustments to enable the more recent occurrences that affect the level of risk assumed to be included quickly and effectively. This measure is only used in the Group's treasury management since the Bank uses specific sensitivity measures.

The VaR calculated represents a daily estimate of the maximum potential risk under normal market conditions (individually by portfolio/business sector and for the overall positions), within the underlying assumptions of the model.

In addition, other measures are carried out that enable additional risk control to be maintained. In abnormal market conditions stress testing is carried out. This consists of defining extreme behavioural scenarios with different financial variables, in order to obtain the corresponding potential impact on results. In resume, the analysis of scenarios tries to identify the potential risk in extreme market conditions and scenarios at the limits of probability not covered by VaR.

Furthermore, daily positions are also monitored, with an exhaustive control being made of changes in the portfolios so as to detect the existence of possible situations that require immediate correction. A daily income statement is prepared in order to identify the impact of changes in variables or in the composition of the portfolios.

The Bank uses sensitivity measures and equivalent positions. For interest rate, it uses the BPV – estimated impact on results of parallel changes in the interest rate curves. Due to the unusual nature of derivative operations, specific sensitivity measures are carried out daily, namely calculation of sensitivity to changes in the underlying prices (delta and gamma), volatility (vega) and time (theta).

Quantitative limits, classified into two groups, are used for the trading portfolio based on the following objectives:

  • Limits aimed to protect the volume of potential losses (VaR, Equivalent positions and sensitivity); and
  • Limits aimed to protect the volume of effective losses or protecting the results already achieved during the period (Loss Triggers and Stop Losses).

The model used to analyse interest rate structural risk enables the measurement and control of all the factors associated with the balance sheet market risk, namely the risk resulting directly from the change in the yield curve, given the existing indexing and re-pricing structure, which determine the sensitivity of the financial margin and the sensitivity of the asset value of the balance sheet instruments.

Financial instruments – structural balance (excluding assets and liabilities held for trading)

The methodology used for the calculation of the sensitivity of the net asset value simulates the variation in the market value of assets and liabilities based on changes of 100 basis points (bp's) in the forward interest rate curve. This methodology uses the following parameters and assumptions:

  • all assets and liabilities that are sensitive to variations in interest rates are identified, that is, whose value and corresponding contribution to financial margin change as a result of changes in market rates;
  • the assets and liabilities are grouped in accordance with their exposure to interest rate risk;
  • future cash flows, duly distributed by the re-pricing dates (variable rate) or maturity dates (fixed rate), are calculated for each sensitive operation (contract);
  • operations are sub-grouped by re-pricing/maturity date for each previously defined group;
  • the intended time ranges for measurement of the interest rate gaps are defined;
  • for each group, the flows are re-grouped based on the ranges created;
  • for each product considered to be sensitive, but without a defined maturity date, the distribution parameters are estimated based on previously studied behavioural models; and
  • the total inflows and outflows are calculated for each range and the difference between them, corresponding to the interest rate risk gap, is determined for each range.

The interest rate gap enables an approximation to the sensitivity of the net assets value and the financial margin to variations in market rates. This approximation uses the following assumptions:

  • the volumes remain constant in the balance sheet and are automatically renewed;
  • the movement in interest rates are assumed to be parallel, while the possibility of actual changes for different terms of the interest rate curve is not considered; and
  • different elasticity between the various products is not considered.

In terms of variation in net asset's value, an increase in the interest rates originates a decrease in the amount of the ranges with positive gaps and an increase in the value of the negative gaps. A decrease in interest rates has the opposite effect.

General assumptions of this interest rate sensitivity analysis

  • Evolution of the balance sheet a static balance sheet is assumed, under which the amounts of the contracts that mature are replaced by new operations of the same amount, so that the balances remain unchanged during the period under analysis;
  • Maturities and re-pricing the actual maturity and re-pricing dates of the operations are considered. The value of the assets and liabilities that do not change with changes in interest rates are not considered to be sensitive;
  • Indexing factors the indexing factors defined contractually are considered, and for simulation purposes a spot curve as at the valuation date with a forward underlying curve is used; and
  • New business features (term, spread, indexing factor and other) the conditions applied in the budget for each product are used. When these features cease to be within market conditions for certain products, the average conditions in place in the last month or new commercial directives for each product under review are used.

Financial instruments held for trading

Besides the Bank's own calculation methodology, the basic parameters for the calculation of VaR are as follows:

  • Time horizon: The period of time used for calculating potential losses on a portfolio, for measuring VaR (daily) is 1 day;
  • Confidence level: both VaR (potential loss) and VaE (potential gain) are determined with a confidence level of 99% (1% and 99%, respectively, of the distribution of losses and gains);
  • Exponential deterioration factor: Enables that the amount of change in market factors to be exponentially weighted over time, by giving less weight to more distant observations in time. The exponential deterioration factor applied is calculated periodically by Market Risk methodology.

In any case, the values of VaR are the highest arising from the calculation made with the factor of deterioration in force and the calculation with uniform weights.

  • Currency of calculation: VaR calculations are made in Euros, which ensures that local currency is the risk currency. VaR results are reported in US Dollars in order to allow accumulation of different units; and
  • Time window of market data: A 2 year time window is used or at least 520 items of data obtained from the VaR calculation reference date going back in time.

The calculation of the VaR Percentile assumes that the set of 520 observations considered have all the same weight. The VaR Weighted Percentile assumes a significantly higher weight to the more recent observations in relation to the reference date of the analysis.

Historic simulation consists of using historic changes as a distribution model of possible changes in risk factors. Therefore, the period chosen must be sufficiently long and significant, so that all the interactions between the market factors, including the volatilities and correlations between them, are well reflected in the historical period selected.

In addition, a complete revaluation of the portfolio requires a valuation for each of the instruments using the respective mathematical expression, in order to obtain the market value of each individual position. Upon using revaluation methods, the implicit nonlinear effects on certain financial products as a result of market factor changes are calculated and retained in the VaR amounts.

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the VaR associated to the interest rate risk corresponds to:

30-06-2014 31-12-2013
VaR Percentil 99% (2) (4)
VaR Weighted Percentil 99% (2) (2)

Foreign exchange risk

The profile defined for foreign exchange risk is very conservative and is based on the hedging policy adopted. Implementation of the policy is a responsibility of the Treasury Area so that the risks involved are maintained at a low level, this being achieved mainly through currency swaps. Exchange risk limits are established and monitored by the Market Risk Area.

Equity risk of assets

Financial instruments held for trading

On June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank had no equity risk associated with financial instruments held for trading and therefore the VaR related to this risk is zero.

49. LEGAL ACTIONS IN PROGRESS

From the end of the first quarter of 2013 a movement with public projection arise in Portugal in the sequence of which the validity of some interest rate swap agreements established between some financial institutions and several state owned enterprises, namely in the railway and road transportation sectors, have been challenged. These agreements were signed essentially until 2008, which is, before the beginning of the recent financial crisis and represent to those enterprises high charges.

Among those agreements, some established with the Bank were challenged, whose positive fair value at June 30, 2014 arise to approximately tEuros 1,243,000, which is reflected in the accompanying balance sheet under the caption "Financial assets held for trading " (Note 7). These agreements were carried out without incidents until September 2013.

Following the above referred movement, in its conviction of the total regularity and binding force of the agreements established with the state owned enterprises, the Bank requested a legal statement regarding their validity, considering that it was its duty to contribute, by the appropriate way, to eliminate any doubts about their validity and binding force. This initiative took place during the second quarter of 2013, in English courts, as they were the ones chosen by the parties as expressly stated in the respective agreement terms.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

On September 2013, after the submission of the above referred legal actions, the state owned enterprises communicated to the Bank that they would suspend from that date the payment of the net interest associated with those swap agreements until the on-going actions were decided. On June 30, 2014, the balance sheet caption "Other assets - Other" includes approximately tEuros 100,000 relating to the interests not paid (Note 17).

On November 2013, the state owned enterprises presented to the English courts their plea to the legal actions raised by the Bank requiring the nullity of the agreements and requesting the refund of the net flows of interest paid in the past, which amounted to approximately tEuros 134,000.

On February 14, 2014, the Bank presented to the English courts its reply to the plea submitted by the state owned enterprises. Currently, those legal actions are in progress following their normal procedures.

It is the Board of Directors of the Bank belief, supported by the opinion of its English and Portuguese legal attorneys, that all the conditions are now met for the court to rule in its favour and consequently to declare the validity of the above referred agreements and notifying the state owned enterprises to liquidate the corresponding interest. For this reason, no provisions were recorded in the accompanying financial statements to address for any eventual adverse outcome of those legal actions.

Additionally, during the first semester of 2014, some new legal actions regarding the validity and binding force of certain interest rate swap agreements were raised against the Bank in Portuguese Courts by some entities comprised in the Regional Government of Madeira Island (entities included in the Portuguese public sector), which have also suspended the payment of the net interest associated with those contracts. On June 30, 2014, the positive fair value of those swaps amounted to tEuros 80,000 and was recorded under the caption "Financial assets held for trading" (Note 7). On the other hand, on June 30, 2014 the balance sheet caption "Other assets - Other" includes approximately tEuros 80,000 relating to the interests not paid. Last, the above referred entities are asking for the refund of the net interest paid by them in the past, which as of June 30, 2014 amounted to tEuros 20,000.

and the interest which payment is suspended (both recorded in the financial statements of the Bank as of that date), as well as, the net interest paid in the past by those entities that now are being subject to a refund request amounted to, approximately, tEuros 88,000, tEuros 8,000 and tEuros 20,000, respectively. As of this date, the Bank has already presented its plea to these legal actions. Nevertheless, since the arguments used by the above referred entities to challenge the validity of those swap contracts are similar to the ones used in the legal actions referred in the previous paragraphs, the Board of Directors of the Bank do not expect an adverse outcome of those legal actions.

Furthermore, on June 30, 2014, another set of claims / legal actions were placed against the Bank by its customers relating to swap agreements. In the majority of those claims / legal actions the customer's request the cancelation of the swap agreements established with the Bank, as well as the reimbursement of the net amount of interest paid by them in the past. On June 30, 2014, the amounts involved in those claims / legal actions were as follows:

Interest received from customers 39,507
Interest paid to customers (4,755)
34,752
Interest overdue not paid by customers 9,701
Swaps Mark to Market 459
Impairment recorded (9,142)
1,018
Provisions for litigations in progress (3,120)
Exposure 32,650

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

However, it is the Board of Directors of the Bank belief that the provisions recorded in the accompanying financial statements are sufficient to address an eventual adverse outcome of the above referred claims / legal actions.

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 51) (Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros - tEuros, unless otherwise expressly indicated)

Finally, in the first quarter of 2014 another major legal action was placed against the Bank, involving a total amount of approximately tEuros 274,500, which is not included above. However, that legal action relates to a request for the cancelation of some of the swap contracts signed by the Bank with one Portuguese state-owned enterprise, which are already in litigation as described above.
