INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Directors present their interim management report, Directors' responsibility statement and the condensed financial statements for Morgan Stanley B.V. (the "Company") for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS
The profit for the six months ended 30 June 2016, after tax, was $\epsilon$ 133,000 (30 June 2015: $\epsilon$ 1,952,000).
During the six months ended 30 June 2016, no dividends were paid or proposed (30 June 2015: $\epsilon$ nil).
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the Company is the issuance of financial instruments including notes, certificates and warrants ("Structured Notes") and the hedging of the obligations arising pursuant to such issuances.
The Company was incorporated under Dutch law on 6 September 2001 and has its statutory seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The business office of the Company is at Luna Arena, Herikerbergweg 238, 1101 CM, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The Company's ultimate parent undertaking and controlling entity is Morgan Stanley, which, together with the Company and Morgan Stanley's other subsidiary undertakings, form the "Morgan Stanley Group".
FUTURE OUTLOOK
There have not been any significant changes in the Company's principal, financing or investment activity in the period under review and no significant change is expected.
BUSINESS REVIEW
UK Referendum
On 23 June 2016, the United Kingdom (the "UK") electorate voted to leave the European Union (the "EU"). It is difficult to predict the future of the UK's relationship with the EU, which uncertainty may increase the volatility in the global financial markets in the short and medium term. There are several alternative models of relationship that the UK might seek to negotiate with the EU, the timeframe for which is uncertain but could take two years or more. The regulatory framework applicable to financial institutions with significant operations in Europe, such as Morgan Stanley, is expected to evolve and specific and meaningful information regarding the long-term consequences of the vote is expected to become clearer over time. Morgan Stanley will continue to evaluate various courses of action in the context of the development of the UK's withdrawal from the EU and the referendum's potential impact on its operations.
Overview of 2016 financial results
The issued Structured Notes expose the Company to the risk of changes in market prices of the underlying securities, interest rate risk and, where denominated in currencies other than Euros, the risk of changes in rates of exchange between the Euro and the other relevant currencies. The Company uses the contracts that it purchases from other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings to hedge the market price, interest rate and foreign currency risks associated with the issuance of the Structured Notes.
The condensed statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is set out on page 7. The Company made a profit before income tax of $\epsilon$ 169,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2016, a decrease of $\epsilon$ 2,434,000 from the six months ended 30 June 2015. The profit before income tax represents management charges received for issued Structured Notes of £2,858,000 (30 June 2015: £2,603,000) reflected in 'Other income', and a loss in fair value of certain Structured Notes attributable to own credit risk of £2,689,000 (30 June 2015: €nil) reflected in 'Net gains/ (losses) on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss.'
In certain limited circumstances, Structured Notes have been issued to other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings and hedged by prepaid equity securities contracts, both of which are designated at fair value through profit and loss. The Company has entered into collateral arrangements on these prepaid equity securities contracts with other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings.
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
BUSINESS REVIEW (CONTINUED) Overview of 2016 financial results (continued)
As a result of the collateral arrangements associated with these prepaid equity securities contracts, whilst the Company recognises changes in fair value attributable to own credit risk of the issued Structured Notes in the condensed statement of comprehensive income, no offsetting change in fair value attributable to counterparty credit risk of the prepaid equity securities contracts is recognised in the condensed statement of comprehensive income.
'Other expense' for the six months ended 30 June 2016 includes a net foreign exchange loss of €710,000 as a result of hedging assets and liabilities recognised for Morgan Stanley Group reporting purposes (30 June 2015: €14,370,000 net foreign exchange gain recognised in 'Other income'). Consistent with the calculation of the yield payable on Convertible Preferred Equity Certificates ("CPECs") explained in note 5, this has resulted in a decrease in 'Interest expense' which primarily relates to the yield of $C7,187,000$ (30 June 2015: €25,104,000).
The condensed statement of financial position for the Company is set out on page 9. The Company's total assets at 30 June 2016 are $\epsilon$ 9,300,670,000, an increase of $\epsilon$ 530,462,000 or 6% when compared to 31 December 2015. Total liabilities of $\epsilon$ 9,262,847,000 represent an increase of $\epsilon$ 530,329,000 or 6% when compared to total liabilities at 31 December 2015. These movements are primarily attributable to the value of hedging instruments and the related issued Structured Notes held at 30 June 2016. Structured Notes have increased since 31 December 2015 as a result of new issuances and fair value movements in the period partially offset by maturities. The increase in the value of issued Structured Notes has resulted in a net increase in the value of the related hedging instruments.
The risk management section below sets out the Company's and the Morgan Stanley Group's policies for the management of liquidity and cash flow risk and other significant business risks.
Risk management
Risk is an inherent part of the Company's business activity. The Company seeks to identify, assess, monitor and manage each of the various types of risk involved in its business activities, in accordance with defined policies and procedures. The Company has developed its own risk management policy framework, which leverages the risk management policies and procedures of the Morgan Stanley Group, and which includes escalation to the Company's Board of Directors and to appropriate senior management personnel of the Company as well as oversight through the Company's Board of Directors.
Note 10 to the condensed financial statements provides more detailed quantitative disclosures and note 15 to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 provides more detailed qualitative disclosures on the Company's exposure to financial risks.
Set out below is an overview of the Company's policies for the management of financial risk and other significant business risks.
Market risk
Market risk refers to the risk of losses for a position or portfolio due to changes in rates, foreign exchange, equities, implied volatilities, correlations or other market factors.
Market risk management policies and procedures for the Company are consistent with those of the Morgan Stanley Group and include escalation to the Company's Board of Directors and appropriate senior management personnel.
The Company manages the market risk associated with its trading activities at both a trading division and an individual product level.
It is the policy and objective of the Company not to be exposed to net market risk.
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
BUSINESS REVIEW (CONTINUED)
Risk management (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of loss arising when a borrower, counterparty or issuer does not meet its financial obligations to the Company. Credit risk includes the risk that economic, social and political conditions and events in a foreign country will adversely affect an obligor's ability and willingness to fulfil their obligations.
Credit risk management policies and procedures for the Company are consistent with those of the Morgan Stanley Group and include escalation to the Company's Board of Directors and appropriate senior management personnel.
Credit risk exposure is managed on a global basis and in consideration of each significant legal entity within the Morgan Stanley Group. The credit risk management policies and procedures establish the framework for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling credit risk whilst ensuring transparency of material credit risks, ensuring compliance with established limits and escalating risk concentrations to appropriate senior management.
Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity and funding risk refers to the risk that the Company will be unable to finance its operations due to a loss of access to the capital markets or difficulty in liquidating its assets. Liquidity and funding risk also encompasses the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations without experiencing significant business disruption or reputational damage that may threaten its viability as a going concern.
The primary goal of the Morgan Stanley Group's liquidity and funding risk management framework is to ensure that the Morgan Stanley Group, including the Company, have access to adequate funding across a wide range of market conditions. The framework is designed to enable the Morgan Stanley Group to fulfil its financial obligations and support the execution of the Company's business strategies.
The Company continues to actively manage its capital and liquidity position to ensure adequate resources are available to support its activities, to enable it to withstand market stresses.
Operational risk
Operational risk refers to the risk of loss, or of damage to the Company's reputation, resulting from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or from external events (e.g. fraud, theft, legal and compliance risks or damage to physical assets). Operational risk relates to the following risk event categories as defined by Basel Capital Standards: internal fraud; external fraud; employment practices and workplace safety; clients, products and business practices; business disruption and system failure; damage to physical assets; and execution, delivery and process management. Legal, regulatory and compliance risk is discussed below under "Legal, regulatory and compliance risk".
The Company may incur operational risk across the full scope of its business activities.
The Company has established an operational risk framework to identify measure, monitor and control risk across the Company. This framework is consistent with the framework established by the Morgan Stanley Group and includes escalation to the Company's Board of directors and appropriate senior management personnel. Effective operational risk management is essential to reducing the impact of operational risk incidents and mitigating legal and reputational risks. For further discussion on the Company's operational risk refer to pages 4 and 5 of the Directors' report in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

BUSINESS REVIEW (CONTINUED)
Risk management (continued)
Legal, regulatory and compliance risk
Legal, regulatory and compliance risk includes the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss; including fines, penalties, judgements, damages and/ or settlements or loss to reputation the Company may suffer as a result of a failure to comply with laws, regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organisation standards and codes of conduct applicable to our business activities. This risk also includes contractual and commercial risk, such as the risk that a counterparty's performance obligations will be unenforceable. It also includes compliance with Anti-Money Laundering and terrorist financing rules and regulations. The Company is generally subject to extensive regulation in the different jurisdictions in which it conducts its business.
For further discussion on the Company's legal, regulatory and compliance risk, refer to pages 5 and 6 of the Directors' report in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Going concern
Retaining sufficient liquidity and capital to withstand market pressures remains central to the Morgan Stanley Group's and the Company's strategy. Additionally, the Company has access to further Morgan Stanley Group capital and liquidity as required.
Taking all of these factors into consideration, the Directors believe it is reasonable to assume that the Company will have access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim management report and condensed financial statements.

The change in fair value of issued Structured Notes recognised through the condensed statement of comprehensive income attributable to own credit risk is a gain of $\epsilon$ 18,027,000 (30 June 2015; gain of $C$ 33,113,000) and cumulatively is a loss of $C$ 11,960,000 (31 December 2015: cumulative loss of €29,987,000). This change is determined as the amount of change in fair value that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk.
The change in fair value of loans recognised through the condensed statement of comprehensive income attributable to own credit risk is a loss of $\text{\textsterling}20,716,000$ (30 June 2015: loss of $\text{\textsterling}33,113,000$ ) and cumulatively is a gain of $\text{\textsterling}13,711,000$ (31 December 2015: cumulative gain of $\text{\textsterling}34,427,000$ ).
The Company has entered into collateral arrangements to manage the credit exposure on certain financial instruments used to hedge issued Structured Notes, and accordingly there are no cumulative gains or losses for own credit risk as at 30 June 2016 on the related hedging instruments.
The change in fair value recognised through the condensed statement of comprehensive income attributable to own credit risk is a loss of £2,689,000 (30 June 2015: Enil) This relates to the change in fair value attributable to own credit risk of issued Structured Notes for which there is no offsetting change on the related hedging instrument due to collateral arrangements made. The Structured Notes in which own credit risk is recognised have been issued to another Morgan Stanley Group undertaking and have a short term maturity date therefore the credit risk exposure is similarly short term and within the control of the Morgan Stanley Group.
The carrying amount of financial liabilities designated at fair value was $667,791,000$ lower than the contractual amount due at maturity (31 December 2015: 6110,908,000 lower).

Credit risk (continued)
The Company enters into the majority of its financial asset transactions with other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings, and both the Company and the other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same ultimate parent entity, Morgan Stanley. As a result of the implicit support that would be provided by Morgan Stanley, the Company is considered exposed to the credit risk rating for Morgan Stanley of 'A' as at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 'A'). In addition, the Company has credit exposure to external financial institutions of €1,839,000 (31 December 2015: $\epsilon$ 499,000) with a credit rating of 'A' (31 December 2015: 'A'). Internal credit ratings are derived using methodologies generally consistent with those used by external rating agencies.

Market risk
The issued Structured Notes expose the Company to the risk of changes in market prices of the underlying securities, interest rate risk and, where denominated in currencies other than Euros, the risk of changes in rates of exchange between the Euro and the other relevant currencies. The Company uses the contracts that it purchases from other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings to hedge the market price, interest rate and foreign currency risks associated with the issuance of the Structured Notes, consistent with the Company's risk management strategy. As such, the Company is not exposed to any net market risk on these financial instruments.
The net foreign exchange losses or gains recognised in 'Other expense' and 'Other income respectively arise as a result of exposure to hedging on assets and liabilities recognised for Morgan Stanley Group purposes, under the Morgan Stanley Group's local reporting requirements.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO OFFSETTING 11.
In the condensed statement of financial position, financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and presented on a net basis where there is a current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and an intention to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and the liability simultaneously. In the absence of such conditions, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented on a gross basis.
The following tables present information about the offsetting of financial instruments and related collateral amounts. The effect of master netting arrangements, collateral agreements and other credit enhancements on the Company's exposure to credit risk is disclosed in note 10. The information below is limited to quantitative information and should be read in conjunction with note 16 of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

(1) Amounts include $65,943,000$ of financial assets classified as held for trading - derivatives, $658,440,000$ of financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss - prepaid equity securities contracts, £19,961,000 of financial liabilities classified as held for trading - derivatives and £5,200,875,000 of financial liabilities classified as designated at fair value through profit or loss issued Structured Notes which are either not subject to master netting agreements or collateral agreements or are subject to such agreements but the Company has not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable.
(2) Amounts are reported on a net basis in the condensed statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable master netting arrangement that provides for the current right of offset and there is an intention to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.
(3) Amounts relate to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements which have been determined by the Company to be legally enforceable, but do not meet all criteria required for net presentation within the condensed statement of financial position.
(4) Cash collateral used to mitigate credit risk on exposures arising under derivatives contracts and prepaid equity securities contracts is determined and settled on a net basis and has been recognised in the statement of financial position within trade receivables.
(5) In addition to the balances disclosed in the table related to cash collateral, certain trade receivables and payables of 636,606,000 not presented net within the condensed statement of financial position have legally enforceable master netting agreements in place and can be offset in the ordinary course of business and/or in the event of default.
(6) Amounts relate to intercompany cross-product master netting arrangements, which include those amounts where Morgan Stanley Group undertaking from which the Company purchased the prepaid equity securities contracts is also the holder of the issued Structured Notes. These arrangements have been determined by the Company to be legally enforceable but do not meet all the criteria required for net presentation within the condensed statement of financial position.
(7) Of the residual net exposure, intercompany cross-product legally enforceable netting arrangements are in place which would allow for an additional £28,204,000 to be offset in the ordinary course of business and/ or in the event of default.

. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value on a recurring basis
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the current period and prior year.
Changes in Level 3 financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value on a recurring $\mathbf{c}$ . basis
The following tables present the changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial assets and financial liabilities for the period ended 30 June 2016 and year ended 31 December 2015. Level 3 instruments may be hedged with instruments classified in Level 2. As a result, the realised and unrealised gains/ (losses) for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below do not reflect the related realised and unrealised gains/ (losses) on hedging instruments that have been classified by the Company within the Level 2 category.
Additionally, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealised gains/ (losses) during the period for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value during the period that were attributable to both observable (e.g. changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g. changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
The Morgan Stanley Group operates a number of intra-group policies to ensure that, where possible, revenues and related costs are matched. Where the trading positions included in the tables below are risk managed using financial instruments held by other Morgan Stanley Group undertakings, these policies potentially result in the recognition of offsetting gains or losses in the Company,

The tables below provide information on the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs and their ranges and averages for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance.
The level of aggregation and breadth of products cause the range of inputs to be wide and not evenly distributed across the inventory. Further, the range of unobservable inputs may differ across firms in the financial services industry because of diversity in the types of products included in each firm's inventory. The following disclosures also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis $\mathbf{e}$ .
Non-recurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are those which are required or permitted in the condensed statement of financial position in particular circumstances. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the current period or prior year.
13. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
For all financial instruments not measured at fair value, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Review report
To the shareholder of Morgan Stanley B.V.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying Interim financial report of Morgan Stanley B.V., Amsterdam, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at June 30, 2016. the condensed statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the period of six months ended June 30, 2016, and the notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim financial report as at June 30, 2016 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
