NOTES TOTHE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEYEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013
(Thousands of euros)
The valuation adjustment is the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the recoverable amount,
which is the greater of the investment’s fair value, less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows derived
from the investment. Unless better evidence of the recoverable amount of the investments is available, impairment of
this type of asset has been estimated taking into account the equity of the subsidiary, adjusted by any unrealized capital
gain existing on the measurement date.
Unless financial support has been promised to the investee, no provisions are set aside in excess of the value of the
investment.
Impairment loss and its reversion are recognized as expenses or as revenue, respectively, in the income statement.
The reversal of an impairment is limited to the carrying value of the estimate that would have been recognized on the
reversal dates had no impairment loss been recognized.
Available-for-sale financial assets
When there is objective evidence of a decline in the fair value of this category of financial assets due to impairment, the
underlying capital losses recognized as “Unrealized gains (losses) reserve” in equity are taken to the income statement.
The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Such reversal is limited to the carrying amount
of the financial asset that would have been recognized on the reversal date had no impairment loss been recognized
D) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes all or part of a financial asset when the contractual rights to related cash flows expire or are
transferred. In such cases, substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership must be assigned, under circumstances
that are evaluated by comparing the Company’s exposure before and after the transfer with the variability in the
amounts, and the timing of the net cash flows of the transferred asset.
If the Company has not transferred or retained substantially all of the risks and rewards, the financial asset is derecognized
if control over the asset has not been retained.The situation is determined in accordance with the transferee’s capacity
to transfer the asset. If control over the asset is retained, the Company continues to recognize it to the extent to which it
is exposed to the changes in the value of the transferred asset, i.e., due to its continuing involvement, and the associated
liability is also derecognized.
When the financial asset is derecognized, the difference between the consideration received, net of attributable
transaction costs, including any new financial asset obtained less any liability assumed, and any cumulative gain or loss
directly recognized in equity, determines the gain or loss generated upon derecognition and is included in the income
statement in the year to which it relates.
The Company does not derecognize financial assets and it recognizes a financial liability for an amount equal to the
compensation received in the transfers of financial assets in which it has retained substantially the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership, such as discounted bills, recourse factoring, disposals of financial assets under repurchase
agreements at fixed prices or sale price plus interest, and securitizations of financial assets in which the company, as
transferor, retains subordinated debt or other types of guarantees that substantially absorb estimated losses
