Chapter 5. Features of creation of consolidated financial statements of banks

general information about activities of bank;

Consolidated balance (appendix 3);

Consolidated statement about financial results (appendix 5);

Consolidated cash flow statement (amendments 6, 7);

Consolidated statement about equity (appendix 8);

notes to consolidated financial statements.

The parent bank includes in consolidated financial statements indicators of the annual financial reporting of participants of the consolidated group according to consolidation perimeter (appendix 1), except for indicators of the annual financial reporting of associable or subsidiary companies if control temporary as the acquired share securities of issuers answering to determinations of associable or subsidiary company of bank contain only for sale within 12 months from the date of acquisition, but if sale did not take place in this time, then they are subject to consolidation from the date of primary acquisition with repeated preparation of reports for previous period.

5.3. The parent bank and associable, subsidiary companies constitute the financial reporting regularly used for creation of consolidated financial statements. Consolidation of the financial reporting does not influence accounting of transactions of parent bank, the associable and affiliated companies, but influences the reporting of the integrated economic unit.

The parent bank constitutes consolidated financial statements according to the data obtained from participants of the consolidated group. Participants of the consolidated group bear responsibility for reliability and completeness of the data provided to parent bank.

5.4. The financial reporting of parent bank and the participants of the consolidated group used for creation of consolidated financial statements is constituted for the same accounting period and for the same date.

If the financial reporting used for consolidation was constituted on different reporting dates, then the parent bank performs adjusting records according to influence of essential transactions or other events which take place between these dates and date of the financial reporting of parent bank, and opens information on it in notes. Anyway the interval between dates of the reporting shall not exceed three months.

5.5. The parent bank constitutes consolidated financial statements taking into account the financial reporting of participants of the consolidated group with use of single accounting policy for similar transactions and other events under similar circumstances. If the participant of the consolidated group applies accounting policy which differs from accepted in consolidated financial statements for similar transactions and events under similar circumstances, then in its financial statements it is necessary to perform the corresponding adjustment during creation of consolidated financial statements for the purpose of approval of accounting policy of parent bank.

5.6. The parent bank constitutes consolidated financial statements by inclusion in structure of the financial statements for the corresponding date of indicators of financial statements of participants of the consolidated group with use of one of such methods:

complete consolidation;

equity participations.

The choice of method of consolidation according to which the reporting of the participant joins in the consolidated statements performs parent bank taking into account potential voting power, proceeding from consolidation perimeter (appendix 1), that is the level of control of the consolidated group in the capital of each participant which is calculated as the amount of sizes:

a) the specific weight of voices in the capital of the participant which is available in property of parent bank, in total quantity of voices;

b) the specific weight of voices in the capital of the participant which is available in property of other participants, in total quantity of voices.

5.7. The consolidated groups have different structures, in particular:

simple - immediate possession by parent bank shares in the authorized capital of participants;

vertical - control of parent bank is exercised mediately through subsidiary companies, each of which controls other subsidiary or associable company;

difficult triangular - direct share of parent bank in subsidiary companies which in turn have investment in each other. Such structure requires exact calculation of share of control and share of participation of the consolidated group in the authorized capital of data of subsidiary companies.

5.8. The parent bank at first constitutes the Consolidated statement about financial results and the Consolidated balance. The consolidated cash flow statement and the Consolidated statement about equity constitutes parent bank based on the Consolidated balance and the Consolidated statement about financial results.

In case of need the parent bank can add above-mentioned working tables and the magazine with other Articles.

Reporting data of non-bank subsidiary companies for the purpose of their reduction in compliance with the Consolidated balance and the Consolidated statement about financial results group in such similar Articles as assets, obligations, the capital, the income and expenses.

5.10. During creation of the consolidated statements the parent bank performs the adjusting records which are registered in the Magazine of adjusting records (appendix 17). The parent bank in it displays the adjustments calculated in consolidation cards on each certain participant of the consolidated group and displayed in registers of intra group transactions and other auxiliary documents which increase or reduce articles of the Consolidated balance and the Consolidated statement about financial results.

The parent bank in the Magazine of adjusting records registers such records:

exception of share value (share) of participants of the consolidated group displayed in balance of parent bank and/or other participants of the consolidated group whose reporting joins by method of complete consolidation;

exception of share value (share) of participants of the consolidated group displayed in balance of parent bank and/or other participants of the consolidated group whose reporting joins by method of equity participation;

inclusion of share value (share) of the participants of the consolidated group calculated by method of equity participation;

inclusion in asset of the Consolidated balance of the amounts of goodwills calculated in consolidation cards;

reduction (increase) of profit of the consolidated group by the amount depreciation of goodwill;

exception of intra group profits (losses);

exception of intra group requirements / obligations;

others.

5.11. The packet of consolidated financial statements of the consolidated group for the previous financial year is the basis in the course of consolidation of the financial reporting during the subsequent accounting periods.

5.12. If shareholding in subsidiary company of bank decreases with corresponding change of the status of subsidiary company, then the parent bank stops application of method of complete consolidation from the date of changes of investments, proceeding from whether it recognizes the participant as the associable company (the method of equity participation is applied) or classifies investments as withheld for sale.

After recalculation of Articles includes financial statements of branches, representative offices of the Ukrainian banks, subsidiary banks, the affiliated non-bank organizations located outside Ukraine, parent bank in consolidated financial statements according to the same scheme, as local, including the procedure of exception of intra group transactions, calculations of goodwill and share of minority, and so forth.

5.16. If the subsidiary bank located outside Ukraine completely does not belong to parent bank, then part of the exchange differences which arose during recalculation of financial statements of subsidiary bank in the course of consolidation belongs to share of minority and is displayed in its structure in the Consolidated balance.

5.17. The parent bank lists assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company located outside Ukraine by the currency rate for date of balance of this company if its financial reporting for the objective reasons is constituted for the date of the reporting which is not answering to date of the reporting of parent bank (provided that the interval between them constitutes no more than three months). The parent bank does the corresponding adjustments if considerable changes in the currency rate before date of creation of balance of parent bank took place.

The parent bank excludes the dividends received from participants of the consolidated group during the accounting period from the income.
