Notes to the consolidated financial statementsManagement <strong>report</strong>Consolidatedfinancial statementsAdditional information <strong>Annual</strong> financial statements1 January 2011. This amendment will have no impact on<strong>Dexia</strong>, which is not a first-time adopter anymore.• Amendment to IFRIC 14 “Prepayments of a MinimumFunding Requirements“ applicable as from 1 January 2011.This amendment will not impact <strong>Dexia</strong>.• IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures“ applicable as from1 January 2011. This standard supersedes IAS 24 “RelatedParty Disclosures“ (as revised in 2003). This amendment willnot significantly impact <strong>Dexia</strong>.• IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with EquityInstruments“ applicable as from 1 January 2011. Thisinterpretation has no impact on <strong>Dexia</strong>.1.2.3. New IFRS standards, IFRIC interpretations andamendments issued during the current year but not yetendorsed by the European Commission• Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax: Recovery of UnderlyingAssets“. There is no impact for <strong>Dexia</strong> as <strong>Dexia</strong> measures theseassets at amortised cost.• Amendment to IFRS 1 “Severe Hyperinflation and Removalof Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters“. This amendment willhave no impact on <strong>Dexia</strong>, which is not a first-time adopteranymore.• “IFRS 9 Financial Instruments“ – Phase I Classification andMeasurement. <strong>Dexia</strong> performed several impact assessmentsand the main preliminary conclusions were the following:- Some structured loans, for which the embedded derivativeare currently bifurcated and measured at fair value while thehost contract is <strong>report</strong>ed at amortised cost, will be measuredat fair value through profit or loss.- Bonds currently classified as available-for-sale and thus<strong>report</strong>ed at fair value through other <strong>com</strong>prehensive in<strong>com</strong>e,will be <strong>report</strong>ed either at amortised cost or at fair valuethrough profit or loss. Consequently the negative AFS reservewill either be reversed or reclassified to retained earnings.- For structured products (ABS, RMBS, …) a “look through“approach should be applied under the new standard in orderto determine the measurement model. As <strong>Dexia</strong> investedmostly in the highest tranche, these products could bemeasured at amortised cost under IFRS 9.- Some financial assets will probably be measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss as the business model criteria (collectingthe cash flows attached to the underlying instrument) foramortised cost are not respected.However, the out<strong>com</strong>e of these assessments is tentative andis subject to potentially important changes once the finalpolicies on impairment and hedge accounting are known.• Amendment to IFRS 7 “IFRS Disclosures – Transfers ofFinancial Assets“. This amendment will impact <strong>Dexia</strong> byrequiring more detailed disclosures on transferred assetswhich were not derecognised by <strong>Dexia</strong>.• “The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting <strong>2010</strong>“<strong>com</strong>pletes the first phase of the review and <strong>com</strong>prises Chapter1 “The objective of general purpose financial <strong>report</strong>ing“ andChapter 3 “Qualitative characteristics of useful financialinformation“. There is no impact for <strong>Dexia</strong> because <strong>Dexia</strong>already <strong>com</strong>plies with the principles of the ConceptualFramework.• “Improvements to IFRSs“ (issued by IASB in May <strong>2010</strong>),which are a collection of amendments to existing InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards. These amendments areeffective as from 1 January 2011 and the impact mainlyrelates to disclosures.The IASB also published “IFRS Practice Statement:Management Commentary: A Framework for presentation“.This Practice Statement is not an IFRS but provides a nonbindingframework for the presentation of management<strong>com</strong>mentary.1.2.4. Changes in presentationDue to the sale of FSA insurance activities, the publication lineXVI “Deferred Acquisition Costs“ became irrelevant and hasbeen removed. Consequently, in the consolidated financialstatements as at 31 December <strong>2010</strong> an amount of EUR-7 million of deferred acquisition costs has been reclassified to“General and administrative expense“.<strong>Dexia</strong> has decided to <strong>report</strong> as from 30 June <strong>2010</strong> as aseparate line item in statement of in<strong>com</strong>e all legal litigationsin the line “Provisions for legal litigations“ below Grossoperating in<strong>com</strong>e together with “Impairment on loans andprovisions for credit <strong>com</strong>mitments“, “Impairment on tangibleand intangible assets“ and “Impairment on goodwill“. In<strong>Dexia</strong>'s previous <strong>report</strong>ing, such legal litigations were <strong>report</strong>edin “Other net in<strong>com</strong>e“.The IASB amended IAS 39 in October 2008. By thisamendment, an entity is allowed to reclassify, if certainconditions are met, financial assets from “Held for Trading“or “Available-for-Sale“ to “Loans and Receivables“ and from“Held for Trading“ to “Available-for-Sale“. <strong>Dexia</strong> mainlyapplied this amendment to reclassify a part of its “Availablefor-Sale“portfolio to “Loans and Receivables“. These assetswere transferred at fair value on 1 October 2008, the date ofreclassification. The amortization of the discount on the bondis <strong>com</strong>pensated by the amortization of the “frozen“ fair valueadjustment. The consequences were that (i) these assets aresubject to the impairment procedure applicable for the category“Loans and Receivables“ and (ii) any subsequent change infair value does no longer impact <strong>Dexia</strong>'s financial statements.In order to distinct the “frozen“ fair value adjustments ofreclassified assets from the fair value adjustments relating tothe remaining “Available-for-Sale“ portfolio, <strong>Dexia</strong> decided tosplit these elements within its equity.1.3. CONSOLIDATION1.3.1. Business <strong>com</strong>binationsAcquisitions of businesses are accounted for using theacquisition method. The consideration transferred in abusiness <strong>com</strong>bination is measured at fair value, which iscalculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values ofthe assets transferred by <strong>Dexia</strong>, the liabilities incurred by <strong>Dexia</strong>to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests128 <strong>Dexia</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>report</strong> <strong>2010</strong>
