CA Consumer Finance is a credit institution authorised by the Prudential Control Authority to carry out banking operations, and is subject to the provisions of the French Monetary and Financial Code. It is also subject to oversight by the banking supervisory authorities and more particularly by the Prudential Control Authority. Registered office: 128-130 boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris Registration number: 542 097 522 Paris Trade and Companies Registry French société anonyme with a share capital of €346,546,434. CA Consumer Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Group and forms part of the Specialised Financial Services Division. Significant events of the year On 1 April 2010, Sofinco's shareholders approved the merger of Finaref and CA Consumer Finance into Sofinco with retroactive effect from 1 January 2010. Concurrently with the merger, Sofinco changed its name to CA Consumer Finance. These merger operations are internal restructurings within the Crédit Agricole Group and therefore do not fall within the scope of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations as adopted under Commission Regulation (EC) no. 495/2009 of 3 June 2009. In accordance with the standards applied by the Crédit Agricole Group, the mergers were accounted for using the pooling of interests method. The assets and liabilities were therefore transferred retrospectively at their carrying amounts in the financial statements of Crédit Agricole S.A. at 1 January 2009. The net asset value transferred including the goodwill existing in Crédit Agricole S.A.'s financial statements was recognised in consolidated reserves. This method presents the financial statements of CA Consumer Finance as if the new entity comprising the former Sofinco and the transferred entities (now called CA Consumer Finance) had always existed. The operation led to the recognition of €1,657 million of goodwill, including €1,017 million for Finaref S.A., €407 million for Sofinco S.A., €183 million for Finaref AB and €41 million for Nordic. The impact on consolidated equity (including goodwill) was €2,250 million.

Gains or losses on cash flow hedges transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss are recognised in net banking income. Other than dividend payments and net income for the year, the main changes in equity were as follows: o extinction of CACF treasury shares owned by Valris (€17.4 million); o change in other comprehensive income arising mainly from the fair value remeasurement of hedges of net investments in foreign operations (-€39.4 million) and changes in translation differences (€21.2 million) 20 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method. Operating activities represent income-generating activities of the CACF Group including income from assets classified as held-to-maturity investments. Tax inflows and outflows are included in full within operating activities. Investing activities represent cash flows arising from the acquisition and disposal of interests in consolidated and non-consolidated companies and from purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. This section includes strategic investments classified as available-for-sale financial securities. Cash flows from investing activities mainly comprise: • • • • Disposal of Fia-Net shares (€25.6 million); Subscription to shares issued by GAC Sofinco Finance Company Ltd (-€24.5 million); Adjustment to the acquisition price of FGA Capital SpA shares (-€8.1 million); Disposal of Carrefour Servizi Finanziari shares (€7.5 million). Purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets generated a net cash outflow of €36.8 million. Financing activities represent cash flows arising from changes in financial structure involving equity and long-term borrowing. Cash flows from transactions with shareholders mainly comprise: • Dividends paid to shareholders (€242.4 million) • Sale of CACF treasury shares to Crédit Agricole SA (€17.4 million). Other cash flows from the CACF Group's financing activities mainly comprise bond redemptions (-€297.9 million) and interest paid on subordinated debt and bond issues (-€70.6 million). Net cash and cash equivalents include cash, debit and credit balances with central banks and debit and credit demand balances with banks. All cash balances of companies held at 31 December 2010 are available to the CACF Group. 21 2010 (in thousands of euros) Pre-tax income Net depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Impairment of goodwill and other fixed assets Net charges to depreciation, amortization, and impairment Share of profit in equity-accounted entities Income from investing activities Income from financing activities *** Other movements Total non-cash item s included in income before tax and other adjustments Cash flows arising from transactions with credit institutions*** Cash flows arising from transactions with customers Cash flows arising from other transactions affecting financial assets or liabilities*** Cash flows arising from transactions affecting non-financial assets or liabilities Dividends received from equity-accounted entities (1) Tax paid Net decrease/(increase) in assets and liabilities arising from operating activities TOTAL NET CASH GENERATED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES (A) Cash flows related to equity investments Cash flows related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets TOTAL NET CASH USED IN INVESTIN G ACTIVITIES (B) Cash flows arising from transactions with shareholders Other net cash flows arising from financing activities TOTAL NET CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES (C ) Impact of changes in exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents (D) Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents (A + B+ C + D) 2009 (1) 749 081 267 398 43 000 1 214 228 -12 780 737 69 913 151 581 1 734 077 5 380 583 -2 537 241 -3 704 465 -245 302 0 -474 465 -1 580 890 902 268 -4 036 -36 848 -40 884 -223 963 -368 540 -592 503 518 765 295 600 12 656 1 238 461 -10 259 -2 303 102 522 -281 193 1 355 484 3 066 711 -4 161 363 371 716 -90 297 0 -193 196 -1 006 429 867 820 -74 332 -36 243 -110 575 -387 388 -541 091 -928 479 -541 1 694 268 340 -169 540 Cash and cash equivalent at beginning of the period 761 464 931 004 Net balance of cash and central bank accounts * 27 192 503 483 Net balance of interbank demand items ** 734 272 427 521 Cash and cash equivalent at end of the period 1 029 804 761 464 Net balance of cash and central bank accounts * 605 319 27 192 Net balance of interbank demand items ** 424 485 734 272 CHANGE IN NET CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 268 340 -169 540 * Comprising the net balance of cash and central bank items excluding accrued interest, as detailed in note 6.1 (including the cash of entities classified as assets held for sale). ** Comprising the balance of performing ordinary accounts in debit and performing overnight loans as detailed in note 6.5 and ordinary accounts in credit and overnight borrowings as detailed in note 6.7.

(1) The impacts of the change of accounting method applied as of 1 January 2010 are described in note 1.5. 22 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Accounting principles and methods, assessments and estimates 1.1. Applicable standards and comparability Pursuant to EC regulation no. 1606/2002, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the international financial reporting standards (IAS/IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC) applicable at 31 December 2010, as adopted by the European Union. The CACF Group accordingly applies the carve-out version of IAS 39, which permits certain exemptions from the rules on macro-hedge accounting. These standards and interpretations are available on the European Commission's website at the following address: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/standards_en.htm The standards and interpretations are the same as those used and described in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 with the exception of the method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses on post-employment defined benefit plans. According to IAS 19, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans may be accounted for as follows: - Entirely through profit or loss; - Partly through profit or loss in an amount determined using the corridor method; - Entirely through other comprehensive income. Until 31 December 2009, the CACF Group recognised actuarial gains and losses through profit or loss in the period in which they arose. In order to provide information more comparable with the principles applied by other companies, the Group has now decided to recognise actuarial gains and losses entirely through other comprehensive income. This method has been applied on a permanent and consistent basis to all defined benefit plans since 1 January 2010. This change of accounting method has been treated in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8 and applied retrospectively. The main impacts of the change are disclosed in note 1.5. The standards and interpretations used to prepare the financial statements at 31 December 2009 have been supplemented by the new or amended standards and interpretations as adopted by the European Union at 31 December 2010, which are mandatory for the first time in 2010. These are: Standards, Amendments or Interpretations Annual amendment to improve IFRS 5, relating to subsidiaries facing a sale plan entailing a loss of control and related amendments to IFRS 1 IAS 27 Revised – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements IFRS 3 Revised - Business Combinations Amendment to IAS 39 on eligible hedged items, which provides clarifications on the use of hedge accounting Date of publication by the European Union 23 January 2009 (EC no. 70/2009) 3 June 2009 (EC no. 494/2009) 3 June 2009 (EC no. 495/2009) 15 September 2009 Date of firsttime application: financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 23 for the inflation component of a financial instrument IFRS 1 Revised – First-time Adoption of International Reporting Standards Annual improvements to IFRSs amending and clarifying nine standards and two interpretations, adopted in regulation EU no. 243/2010 of 23 March 2010 Amendment to IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment, incorporating and superseding guidance previously included in IFRIC 8 and IFRIC 11 IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements, which does not concern the Group's businesses IFRIC 16 – Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate dealt with in IAS 11 - Construction Contracts and IAS 18 – Revenue IFRIC 17 – Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners IFRIC 18 - Transfers of Assets from Customers, which does not concern the Group's businesses (EC no. 839/2009) 25 November 2009 (EC no. 1136/2009) and 23 June 2010 (EU no. 550/2010) 23 March 2009 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 23 March 2009 (EU no. 244/2010) 1 January 2010 25 March 2009 (EU no. 254/2009) 4 June 2009 (EU no. 460/2009) 22 July 2009 (EC no. 636/2009) 1 January 2010 26 November 2009 (EC no. 1142/2009) 27 November 2009 (EC no. 1164/2009) 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 1 January 2010 The application of these new standards, amendments and interpretations had no material impact on net income or equity for the period. IAS 27 and IFRS 3 Revised were applied prospectively to business combinations completed on or after 1 January 2010, leading to a change of accounting method for the Group. The main changes are: - On initial recognition, minority interests may be measured in one of two ways at the acquirer's option: at their acquisition-date fair value; at their proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities. This option is available on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The Group has early adopted IFRS 3 Revised amended for Annual Improvements to IFRS 2010, which states that this option does not apply to all equity instruments held by the owners but only to those that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the net assets in the event of liquidation. - Acquisition-related costs may no longer be included in goodwill but must be expensed in full in the period in which they are incurred. If the transaction is highly probable, these costs are 24 recognised under "net gains or losses on other assets", otherwise they are recognised as "general operating expenses". - Some transactions must now be accounted for separately from the business combination. - Method of accounting for business combinations achieved in stages or partial disposals involving loss of control. - Contingent consideration that is a financial instrument falls within the scope of IAS 39. During 2010, the CACF Group did not complete any transaction likely to be affected by this change of accounting method. Furthermore, the Group has not early adopted any standards or interpretations that are not yet mandatory, unless specifically stated otherwise. This mainly concerns: Standards, Amendments or Interpretations Amendment to IAS 32 - Classification of Rights Issues Date of publication by the European Union 23 December 2009 (EU no. 1293/2009) Amendment to IFRS 1 and IFRS 7 on the exemptions 30 June 2010 from disclosing comparative information on financial (EU no. 574/2010) instruments for first-time adopters Amendment to IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures 19 July 2010 regarding state-controlled entities (EU no. 632/2010) Amendment to IFRIC 14 – The Limit on a Defined 19 July 2010 Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and (EU no. 633/2010) their Interaction IFRIC 19 - The extinction of Financial Liabilities with 23 July 2010 Equity Instruments. This amendment will be applied (EU no. 662/2010) for the first time on 1 January 2011 Date of firsttime mandatory application: financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2011 1 January 2011 1 January 2011 1 January 2011 1 January 2011 The CACF Group does not expect these standards, amendments and interpretations to have a material impact on net income or equity. Lastly, standards and interpretations published by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union will not be mandatory until they have been adopted and have accordingly not been applied by the Group at 31 December 2010. 25 1.2 Presentation of Financial Statements In the absence of any specific requirements under IFRS, the CACF Group uses the financial statement presentation (balance sheet, income statement, comprehensive income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement) set out in CNC recommendation no. 2009-R.04 of 2 July 2009. 1.3 Significant accounting policies Critical accounting estimates and assessments The preparation of the financial statements requires the Group to make assumptions and estimates which involve risks and uncertainties as to whether they will be achieved in the future. Actual outcomes may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: • activity in domestic and international markets; • fluctuations in interest and exchange rates; • the economic and political climate in certain industries or countries; • changes in regulations or legislation. This list is not exhaustive. Accounting estimates that require the use of assumptions mainly affect: • financial instruments measured at fair value; • minority interests; • pension plans and other future employee benefits; • stock option plans; • impairment of available-for-sale financial assets; • impairment of unrecoverable loans and receivables; • provisions; • impairment of goodwill; • deferred tax assets. The procedures for making assessments and estimates are described below. 26 Financial instruments (IAS 32 and 39) Financial assets and liabilities are accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 as adopted by the European Commission. They are initially recognised at fair value including transaction costs (except for financial instruments recognised at fair value through profit or loss) and subsequently measured either at fair value or at amortised cost using the effective interest method, depending on their classification. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Non-consolidated interests may be measured at cost if their fair value cannot be determined directly by reference to prices in an active market or estimated by CACF using other valuation techniques. These interests are intended to be held for the long-term and are disclosed in note 2.5. Financial assets • Classification of financial assets Financial assets are classified into four categories defined in IAS 39: - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (held for trading or by designation); - Held-to-maturity investments; - Loans and receivables; - Available-for-sale financial assets. o Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss In accordance with IAS 39, this category comprises financial assets held for trading and those designated by the CACF Group on initial recognition as being at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term or it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. A financial asset may be designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss in the following three cases, provided it meets the conditions set out in IAS 39: (i) it is a hybrid instrument containing one or more embedded derivatives, (ii) it significantly reduces an accounting mismatch or (iii) it is part of a group of financial assets that is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis. This accounting treatment is generally used to avoid 27 recognising and measuring embedded derivatives separately from the host contract in the case of hybrid instruments. The CACF Group has not designated any financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value excluding any directly-related transaction costs (which are expensed as incurred) and including accrued interest. They are subsequently measured at fair value and any gains or losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are not subject to review for impairment. o Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity that the CACF Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, other than: - those that the CACF Group designates on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss; - those that meet the definition of loans and receivables. Therefore, debt securities that are not quoted in an active market cannot be classified as held-to-maturity investments. Financial assets in this category may not be sold before their maturity except in the specific cases permitted by IAS 39. Portfolio hedges of interest rate risk on held-to-maturity investments are not eligible for hedge accounting under IAS 39. Held-to-maturity investments are initially recognised at cost, including any directly-related transaction costs and accrued interest. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, including any premium or discount. Held-to-maturity investments carried at amortised cost are subject to review for impairment under the conditions described in the section entitled "Impairment of financial assets". At 31 December 2010, the CACF Group did not hold any financial assets classified as held-tomaturity. o Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are initially recognised at cost including any directly-related transaction costs and accrued interest. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, including any premium or discount and adjusted for any impairment. Loans and receivables carried at amortised cost are subject to review for impairment under the conditions described in the section entitled "Impairment of financial assets". 28 o Available-for-sale financial assets IAS 39 defines AFS both as assets that are designated as AFS and as the default category. They are initially recognised at fair value, including any directly-related transaction costs and accrued interest. They are subsequently measured at fair value and any gains or losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income. In case of sale, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss. Any premiums or discounts on fixed-income securities are amortised through profit or loss using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets are subject to review for impairment under the conditions described in the section entitled "Impairment of financial assets". • Impairment of financial assets An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event'), except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss. Objective evidence of impairment includes a prolonged or significant decline in the value of an equity instrument or a significant deterioration in the credit risk of a debt security evidenced by a risk of non-recovery. For equity instruments, the CACF Group uses quantitative criteria as indicators of potential impairment. These quantitative criteria are mainly based on a loss of at least 30% in the value of the equity instrument over a period of six consecutive months. Management may decide to take other factors into consideration such as the issuer's financial difficulties or short-term prospects. In addition to these criteria, an impairment loss is recognised if the value of an equity instrument falls by more than 50% or there is a prolonged decline in value for more than three years. The duration conditions have been revised in order to harmonise all criteria across Group entities. For debt instruments, the impairment criteria are those applied to loans and receivables. The impairment loss is recognised as follows: - for financial assets carried at amortised cost, through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss and may be reversed in the event of a subsequent improvement; - for available-for-sale financial assets, by transferring the cumulative loss from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. In the event of a subsequent improvement in the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale, the impairment loss may be reversed through profit or loss when justified by the circumstances. 29 • Recognition date of financial assets The CACF Group recognises financial assets classified as available-for-sale or as loans and receivables on the settlement date. Other financial assets, regardless of their type or classification, are recognised on the trade date. Reclassification of financial assets In accordance with the amendment to IAS 39 published and adopted by the European Union in October 2008, the following reclassifications are permitted: - - out of "held for trading" or "available for sale" into "loans and receivables", if the entity now has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity and if the requirements for this category are met on the reclassification date (in particular, financial assets not quoted in an active market); - in rare, documented circumstances, out of "held for trading" into "available for sale" or "held to maturity", if the requirements for the relevant category are met on the reclassification date. The fair value of the financial asset on the date of reclassification becomes its new cost or amortised cost as applicable. Information on reclassifications made by the CACF Group in accordance with IAS 39 is provided in note 9. As in previous years, the CACF Group did not reclassify any financial assets in accordance with the amendment to IAS 39 in 2010. Lending operations Loans are predominantly classified as loans and receivables. In accordance with IAS 39, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the loan to its initial carrying amount. It includes any discounts and all transaction income and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Syndicated loans intended to be sold in the short term are classified as financial assets held for trading and are measured at fair value. Subordinated loans and repo agreements (represented by securities or certificates) are classified in the appropriate category of loans and receivables according to counterparty type. Income calculated on the basis of the effective interest rate is carried in the balance sheet as accrued interest and a corresponding amount recognised in the income statement. • Impaired loans and receivables In accordance with IAS 39, impairment losses are taken against loans classified as loans and receivables when one or more loss events have occurred after their initial recognition. Once these loans have been identified, they may be individually or collectively assessed for impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the loans (amortised cost) and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the 30 original effective interest rate, or in the form of discounts on loans that have been restructured due to customer default. The amount of the impairment loss is also assessed on the basis of a statistical estimate of forecast losses and may also take other factors into account such as regulatory or overindebtedness issues. A distinction is made between: - loans individually assessed for impairment: these are impaired loans and restructured loans for which a discount has been recognised due to customer default; - loans collectively assessed for impairment: these are loans that have not been individually assessed for impairment but are included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics that are collectively assessed for impairment. This mainly concerns past due loans. Past due loans are loans with payment arrears but which have not been impaired on an individual basis (loans at risk on the watch-list). Impairment losses are discounted and estimated on the basis of various factors, mostly business or sector-related. It is possible that future assessments of the credit risk may differ significantly from current assessments, which may lead to an increase or decrease in the amount of the impairment recognised. Probable losses in respect of off-balance sheet commitments are covered by provisions recognised as a liability on the balance sheet. Impairment losses and write-backs for non-recovery risk are recognised in the cost of risk and any increase in the carrying amount of a loan arising from an impairment write-back or amortisation of the restructured receivables discount over time is recognised in net interest income. o Loans individually assessed for impairment These are loans of any kind, even with guarantees, that present a known credit risk arising from one of the following events: - the loan is at least three months in arrears; - the borrower's financial position is such that a known risk exists regardless of whether or not the loan is in arrears; - the bank and borrower are in legal proceedings. For a given borrower, if a loan is impaired, all other loans and commitments made to that borrower are impaired by "contagion", even when guarantees or other collateral exist. If a restructured loan remains classified as impaired, the discount is not recognised separately but is accounted for through the impairment loss. The CACF Group recognises impairment losses corresponding to all expected losses on impaired loans, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Expected losses on portfolios of small loans with similar characteristics may be estimated on a statistical basis rather than individually assessed. 31 For restructured loans where the initial financial terms (interest rate, maturity) have been revised due to counterparty risk, the loans are reclassified as performing loans and the reduction in future cash flows granted to the borrower when the loan was restructured is recognised as a discount and recorded in the cost of risk. The discount represents the net present value of the reduction in future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. It is equal to the difference between: - the nominal value of the loan; - the sum of the theoretical future cash flows from the restructured loan, discounted at the original effective interest rate (set at the time the financing commitment was made). o Loans collectively assessed for impairment The CACF Group recognises collective impairment allowances to cover a known statistical probability of partial uncollectibility of loans that have not been individually assessed for impairment. In particular, consumer credit exposures with one or more payment arrears of less than three months are subject to impairment determined on the basis of a statistical analysis of expected losses. The statistical analysis: - measures loss rates by generation of exposures entering the legal collection process (nonperforming); - measures, over twelve months, the volume of transfers from other categories of impaired exposures to non-performing loans, or to any other category for which an allowance may be taken (doubtful loans or loans at risk). Financial liabilities IAS 39 as adopted by the European Union recognises three categories of financial liabilities: - Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised through profit or loss. - Financial liabilities designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability may be designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss in the following three cases, provided it meets the requirements of IAS 39: (i) it is a hybrid instrument containing one or more embedded derivatives, (ii) it significantly reduces an accounting mismatch or (iii) it is part of a group of financial liabilities that is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis. This accounting treatment is generally used to avoid recognising and measuring embedded derivatives separately from the host contract in the case of hybrid instruments. - Other financial liabilities: this category comprises all other financial liabilities. These liabilities are initially recognised at fair value (including transaction income and costs) and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The measurement of issues made by the Group recognised at fair value through profit or loss includes the change in the Group's own credit risk. However, the CACF Group does not use the fair value option for its financial liabilities. 32 • Securities classified as financial liabilities or equity o Distinction between debt and equity A debt instrument or a financial liability is a contractual obligation to: - deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; - exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. IAS 32 adopted by the European Union on 21 January 2009 now permits financial instruments previously classified as debt to be reclassified as equity under certain conditions. These financial instruments are: - instruments issued by the issuer that are redeemable at the option of the holder; - instruments that entitle the holder to a share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation. If these conditions are met, mutual fund units issued must now be classified as equity rather than liabilities. o Share buybacks Treasury shares or equivalent derivative instruments such as stock-options repurchased by the CACF Group, including shares held to cover stock option plans, do not meet the definition of a financial asset and are deducted from equity. They have no impact on profit or loss. Deposits Deposit-taking represents only a very small part of the CACF Group's business. Deposits are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Derivative instruments Derivative instruments are financial assets or financial liabilities and are recognised on the balance sheet at their fair value at inception. On each balance sheet date, they are remeasured at fair value whether they are held for trading or for hedging purposes. Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value are recognised in profit or loss (with the exception of cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation). • Hedge accounting Fair value hedges are intended to protect against exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment. 33 Cash flow hedges are intended to protect against exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction. Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are intended to protect against the risk of an adverse change in fair value arising from the exchange rate risks associated with a foreign investment in a currency other than the euro. A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if all of the following conditions are met: - the hedging instrument and the hedged item are eligible; - at the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship identifying the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the risk being hedged; - the effectiveness of the hedge must be demonstrated, at inception and retrospectively, by testing on each balance sheet date. The CACF Group accounts for portfolio hedges of interest rate risk as fair value hedges as permitted by the "carve-out" version of IAS 39 adopted by the European Union. They are accounted for on the basis of the Group's gross position in derivative instruments and hedged items. Their effectiveness is measured using maturity schedules. Changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are recognised as follows: - Fair value hedges: the change in fair value of the derivative is recognised in profit or loss symmetrically with the change in fair value of the hedged item. Therefore, only the change in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedge affects profit or loss. - Cash flow hedges: the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Cumulative gains or losses are reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss. - Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation: the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. If a hedge no longer meets the requirements for hedge accounting, the following accounting treatment is applied prospectively. - Fair value hedges: gains or losses on the hedging instrument continue to be recognised through profit or loss. The hedged item is accounted for in full according to its classification. For availablefor-sale financial assets, changes in fair value after the hedging relationship has ceased are recognised in other comprehensive income. For portfolio hedges of interest rate risk on items measured at amortised cost, the cumulative gains or losses are amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the hedged item. - Cash flow hedges: the hedging instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cumulative gains or losses on the effective portion of the hedge continue to be recognised in other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects profit or loss. For portfolio hedges of interest rate risk, profit or loss is affected when interest payments are made. Cumulative gains or losses are therefore amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the hedged items. 34 - Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation: cumulative gains or losses on the effective portion of the hedge continue to be recognised in other comprehensive income and are only reclassified to profit or loss upon disposal and derecognition of the investment. • Embedded derivatives: An embedded derivative is the component of a hybrid contract that meets the definition of a derivative instrument. An embedded derivative must be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if the following three conditions are met: - the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss; - the embedded component would meet the definition of a derivative if separated from the host contract; - the characteristics of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the characteristics of the host contract. Determination of the fair value of financial instruments The fair values of financial instruments are determined in accordance with IAS 39 and presented according to the fair value hierarchy set out in IFRS 7. The Group also applies the recommendation on the fair value measurement of certain financial instruments published by the AMF, CNC and ACAM on 15 October 2008. IAS 39 considers that the most reliable evidence of fair value is quoted prices in an active market. If quoted prices are not available, IAS 39 requires fair value to be determined using a valuation technique based on observable or non-observable inputs. • Level 1: fair values based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market. Level 1 comprises financial instruments quoted directly in an active market. These include equities and bonds quoted in an active market such as the Paris Bourse, London Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange, etc., units in investment funds quoted in an active market and derivatives traded on an organised market such as futures. A market is considered to be active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. For financial assets and liabilities with offsetting market risks, the CACF Group uses mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fair values for the offsetting risk positions and applies the bid or asking price to the open net short or long position as appropriate. • Level 2: fair values measured using directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1. These inputs are either directly observable (i.e. as prices) or indirectly observable (i.e. derived from prices) and generally meet the following characteristics: they are not entity-specific data but available and obtainable public data that would be used by market participants. Level 2 comprises: 35 • equities and bonds quoted in a market not considered to be active, or not quoted in an active market but for which fair value is determined using a valuation technique widely used by market participants and based on observable market inputs (such as discounted cash flow techniques or the Black & Scholes model); • instruments traded over the counter, the fair value of which is measured using models based on observable market data, i.e. which can be obtained regularly from several, independent external sources. For example, the fair value of interest rate swaps is generally derived from yield curves based on observable market interest rates on the reporting date. When the models used are based on standard models with observable market inputs (such as yield curves or implied volatility surfaces), the day one gain or loss resulting from the initial fair value measurement of the related instruments is recognised in profit or loss at inception. • Level 3: fair value measurements making significant use of unobservable market inputs. For some complex instruments that are not quoted in an active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are not supported by observable market data for an identical instrument. These instruments are disclosed within Level 3 and mainly comprise complex interest rate instruments, equity derivatives and structured credit instruments for which fair value measurement requires the use of, for instance, correlation or volatility inputs that are not directly comparable to market data. The transaction price is deemed to reflect the fair value at inception and recognition of any day one gain or loss is deferred. The day one gain or loss on these structured financial instruments is generally recognised through profit or loss over the period during which the inputs are deemed to be unobservable. If the market inputs become observable, the remaining deferred day one gain or loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Valuation techniques and models used for financial instruments disclosed within Levels 2 and 3 incorporate all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price. They must be validated beforehand through independent checks. Fair value measurement takes account of both liquidity risk and counterparty risk. No accepted valuation technique for determining the fair value of an equity instrument In accordance with IAS 39, if there is no satisfactory technique or if the various techniques used result in a wide range of estimates, the instrument is measured at cost and classified under available-for-sale financial assets as its fair value cannot be determined reliably. In this case, the Group does not disclose a fair value in accordance with the recommendations of IFRS 7. The main instruments concerned are investments in non-consolidated companies that are not quoted in an active market, the fair value of which is difficult to determine reliably. Net gains or losses on financial instruments • Net gains or losses on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss: This income statement item comprises the following gains and losses on financial instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets and liabilities held for trading: 36 - dividends and other income from equities and other variable-income securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; - changes in fair value of financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; - gains or losses on disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; - changes in fair value and gains or losses on disposal or termination of derivative instruments not documented as a fair value or cash flow hedge. It also includes the ineffective portion of fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. • Net gains or losses on available-for-sale assets: This income statement item comprises the following gains and losses on available-for-sale financial assets: - dividends and other income from equities and other variable-income securities classified as available-for-sale; - gains and losses on disposal of fixed-income and variable-income securities classified as available-for-sale; - impairment of variable-income securities; - gains or losses on disposal or termination of instruments documented as fair value hedges of available-for-sale financial assets when the hedged item is sold; - gains or losses on disposal or termination of loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments in those cases provided for by IAS 39. Netting of financial assets and financial liabilities In accordance with IAS 32, the CACF Group nets a financial asset and a financial liability and discloses only the net amount if, and only if, it has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognised and intends to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial guarantees given A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of: - the amount determined in accordance with IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets"; or - the amount initially recognised less any amortisation accounted for in accordance with IAS 18 "Revenue from other activities ". 37 Financial commitments that are not designated as at fair value through P&L or not treated as derivatives as defined by IAS 39 are not recognised on the balance sheet. However, they may be subject to provisions in accordance with IAS 37. Derecognition of financial instruments A financial asset or group of financial assets is fully or partially derecognised if: - the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are transferred or are deemed to have been transferred because the entity has assumed an obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients; and - substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. In this case, any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer are recognised separately as assets or liabilities. If the entity transfers the contractual rights to the cash flows but retains some of the risks and rewards of ownership and control over the financial asset, it continues to recognise the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. In particular, the securitisation transactions carried out by CACF, its subsidiary Agos-Ducato (Italy) and within the FGA Capital Group do not qualify for derecognition under IFRS. A financial liability (or part of a financial liability) is only derecognised when it is settled. Provisions (IAS 37 and 19) The CACF Group identifies all obligations (legal or constructive) arising as a result of a past event, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These estimates are discounted when the impact is material. For obligations other than those related to credit risk, the CACF Group has set aside provisions to cover: - employee benefits; - financing commitment execution risks; - claims and liability guarantees; - tax risks. Estimates may be made to determine the amount of the following provisions: - the reserve for operational risks, which although based on a review of known risks, requires management to make assessments with regard to their frequency and the amount of the potential financial impact; - The reserve for legal risks, which is based on management's best estimates in light of information in its possession on the reporting period. 38 Detailed information is provided in note 6.14. Employee benefits (IAS 19) In accordance with IAS 19, employee benefits are divided into four categories: - short term employee benefits such as salaries, social security contributions and variable compensation payable no later than twelve months after the year end; - long term employee benefits (long-service awards, variable and other compensation payable more than twelve months after the year end); - termination benefits; - post-employment benefits, which are divided into two categories as described below: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. Long-term employee benefits Long-term employee benefits are benefits payable to employees, other than post-employment benefits, termination benefits and equity benefits, which are not due in full within twelve months after the end of the year in which the related services were rendered. They mainly include bonuses and other compensation deferred for more than twelve months. They are measured using a similar method to that used by the Group to measure defined postemployment benefit plans. Post-employment benefits • Retirement, early retirement and end-of-career benefits – defined benefit plans At each reporting date, the CACF Group measures its retirement benefit and similar obligations as well as all other employee benefits that meet the definition of a defined benefit plan. In accordance with IAS 19, these obligations are measured on the basis of a set of actuarial, financial and demographic assumptions using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, each period of service gives rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and each unit is measured separately to build up the final obligation. The final obligation therefore represents the net present value of future benefit entitlements. The obligation is measured on the basis of assumptions made by management concerning discount rates, staff turnover rates and the rate of increase in salaries and social security costs. If actual results differ from the assumptions made, the obligation may increase or decrease in future years (see note 7.4). Discount rates are determined according to the average period of the obligation, that is the arithmetic mean of the periods calculated between the valuation date and the payment date weighted by staff turnover assumptions. The expected return on plan assets is also estimated by management on the basis of expected returns on fixed-income securities, and notably bond yields. 39 The CACF Group has elected not to use the corridor method and accordingly since 1 January 2010 all actuarial gains and losses have been recognised directly in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss. The main impacts of this change of accounting method on the 2009 financial statements are described in note 1.5. The amount of the provision is equal to: - the net present value of the defined benefit plan obligation on the reporting date, calculated using the actuarial method recommended in IAS 19; - if necessary, less the fair value of any plan assets allocated to fund the obligation. Plan assets may include a qualifying insurance policy. If the obligation is entirely covered by a policy that exactly matches the amount and timing of all or some of the benefits payable under the plan, the fair value of the policy is deemed to be the value of the corresponding obligation, i.e. the amount of the corresponding actuarial liability. The provision for the unfunded portion of the obligation is recognised as a liability on the balance sheet under the heading "Provisions". The amount of the provision is equal to the amount of the CACF Group's liability to its employees in service at the year end. Lastly, certain companies have an obligation to pay supplementary pension benefits, for which a provision is calculated on an actuarial basis and recognised as a liability on the balance sheet under the heading "Provisions". • Pension plans – defined contribution plans Employers contribute to a variety of compulsory pension schemes. Plan assets are managed by independent organisations and the contributing companies have no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional contributions if the funds do not have sufficient assets to cover all benefits corresponding to current and past services rendered by employees. Consequently, the CACF Group has no liabilities in this respect other than its ongoing contributions. Share-based payment (IFRS 2) IFRS 2 requires share-based payment transactions to be measured and recognised in the income statement and balance sheet. It applies to plans granted after 7 November 2002 which had not yet vested at 1 January 2005 and covers two types of transaction: - equity-settled share-based payment transactions; - cash-settled share-based payment transactions. The main share-based payment plans concern CACF. They are entirely equity-settled and ended in 2010. Options granted are measured at their fair value on the grant date, mainly using the Black & Scholes model. Their fair value is expensed as a charge under "personnel costs" over the vesting period (four years for all existing plans), with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income. Employee share issues made as part of an employee savings scheme are also covered by IFRS 2. Shares may be offered to employees with a discount of no more than 20%. There is no vesting period for these plans but the shares are subject to a five-year lock-up period. The benefit granted to employees is measured as the difference between the fair value per share purchased, taking 40 account of the lock-up period, and the purchase price paid by the employee on the issue date, multiplied by the number of shares issued. A more detailed description of the plans and valuation methods is provided in note 7.6 "Sharebased payment". The expense relating to share award plans settled in Crédit Agricole S.A. equity instruments and to employee share issues is now recognised in the financial statements of the plan beneficiaries' employer. The impact is recognised in employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in "consolidated reserves attributable to owners of the parent". Current and deferred tax In accordance with IAS 12, the income tax expense includes all taxes based on income, whether current or deferred. Current income tax is defined as "the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for a period". Taxable profit (tax loss) is the profit (loss) for a period, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable (recoverable). The current tax expense is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted in each country where the Group's companies operate. Current tax includes all income tax payable or recoverable, which is not contingent on the occurrence of future transactions, even if payment is deferred over several years. Current income tax is recognised as a liability until paid. If the amount already paid in respect of the current and prior years exceeds the amount due for those periods, the surplus is recognised as an asset. Some transactions made by the entity may have tax consequences that are not taken into account in measuring current tax. Differences between the carrying amount and tax base of an asset or liability are defined as temporary differences under IAS 12 and give rise to the recognition of a deferred tax liability or asset in the following cases: • A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amount or tax base of an asset or liability, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from: - the initial recognition of goodwill; - the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). • A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences between the carrying amount or tax base of an asset or liability to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. • A deferred tax asset is also recognised for the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. 41 The tax rates enacted in each country are used as applicable. Deferred taxes are not discounted. Taxable unrealised gains on financial assets do not give rise to temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax base of the asset or accordingly to the recognition of deferred taxes. In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, unrealised gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. The associated tax expense or benefit effectively incurred by the entity is therefore deducted directly from the gains or losses. In France, gains on disposals of equity interests as defined in the French General Tax Code, which are governed by the rules on long-term capital gains, are exempt from tax for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007, except for 5% of the gain which is taxed at the standard rate. Accordingly, unrealised gains recognised at the year-end generate a temporary difference that gives rise to the recognition of deferred tax in respect of that 5%. Current and deferred tax is recognised as a tax benefit or expense and included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from: - a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in equity, in which case it is debited or credited directly to equity; - a business combination. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if: - the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and - the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either: a) the same taxable entity; or b) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. When tax credits on income from receivables and securities are effectively used to settle income tax due for the period, they are recognised under the same heading as the income to which they relate. The corresponding tax expense continues to be recognised in the income statement under "Income tax expense". Treatment of fixed assets (IAS 16, 36, 38 and 40) The CACF Group applies component accounting to all items of property, plant and equipment. In accordance with IAS 16, the depreciable amount takes account of the residual value of the asset, if any. Land is measured at cost less any impairment losses. Property used in operations, investment property and equipment are measured at their purchase cost less all accumulated depreciation, amortisation, and impairment losses. 42 Purchase software is measured at its purchase cost less all accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impaired losses since acquisition. Internally generated software is measured at its production cost less all accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses since completion. Other than software, intangible assets mainly comprise intangible assets acquired in a business combination, which are measured according to the expected future economic benefits or service potential. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The following components and depreciation periods have been used by the CACF Group since the adoption of component accounting. The depreciation periods are adjusted according to the type of building and its location: Component Depreciation period Land Not depreciable Buildings 20 to 50 years Computer equipment 3 to 5 years Other 3 to 15 years Software 1 to 5 years Exceptional depreciation charges, which do not reflect a true impairment in the value of the asset, are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Based on available information, the CACF Group does not believe that impairment testing would lead to a change in the carrying amounts of its non-current assets. Foreign currency transactions (IAS 21) In accordance with IAS 21, a distinction is made between monetary and non-monetary items. On the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the CACF Group's functional currency at the closing rate. Any resulting translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. There are two exceptions to this rule: - available-for-sale financial assets: only those translation differences calculated on amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and the balance is recognised in other comprehensive income; - Translation adjustments on items designated as cash flow hedges or forming part of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income. The treatment of non-monetary items differs according to their nature: - items measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date; - items measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the closing date. 43 Translation adjustments arising on non-monetary items are recognised as follows: - in profit or loss if the gain or loss on the non-monetary item has been recognised in profit or loss; - in other comprehensive income if the gain or loss on the non-monetary item has been recognised in other comprehensive income. Commission and fees (IAS 18) Fee and commission income and expense are recognised in profit or loss according to the type of service: - Fees and commissions that form an integral part of the effective yield on a financial instrument are recognised as an adjustment to the yield and included in the effective interest rate; - When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the translation is recognised as "commissions and fees" by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date: a) Fees and commissions received or paid in consideration for non-recurring services are recognised in full in profit or loss. Fees and commissions payable or receivable that are contingent upon meeting a performance target are recognised only if all the following conditions are met: i) the amount of fees or commissions can be measured reliably; ii) it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; iii) the stage of completion of the transaction can be measured reliably, and the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete it can be measured reliably; b) Fees and commissions in consideration for ongoing services, such as payment systems, are recognised in profit or loss and deferred over the period during which the service is performed. Insurance business (IFRS 4) Insurance liabilities are partly measured using French GAAP, as permitted by IAS and IFRS, pending further amendments to the existing standards. Life insurance technical reserves are estimated conservatively on the basis of the technical rates defined in the contracts. Total expenses related to the insurance business are disclosed in note 4.5 on Net income (expense) on other activities. 44 Leases (IAS 17) In accordance with IAS 17, leases are classified either as operating leases or finance leases according to the substance and financial reality of the transaction. Lease finance operation is treated as a purchase of a fixed asset by the lessee financed by a loan from the lessor. In the lessor's financial statements, classification of a transaction as a finance lease leads to: - recognition of a financial receivable from the customer, amortised by the lease payments received; - apportionment of the lease payments between interest income and repayment of principal, which is known as financial amortisation; - recognition of a net lease reserve, which is equal to the difference between: a) the net lease reserve: amount payable by the lessee comprising the principal outstanding and accrued interest at the year-end; b) the net carrying amount of the leased fixed assets; c) the provision for deferred taxes. In the lessee's financial statements, a finance lease is treated as an asset financed by borrowing, which leads to the recognition in the balance sheet of a financial liability and a depreciable asset. Accordingly, in the income statement, the lease payment is apportioned between depreciation (which would have been recognised had the asset been purchased) and the finance charge (on the borrowing). For operating leases, the lessee recognises the lease payments as expenses. The lessor recognises the corresponding income in profit or loss and the leased assets on its balance sheet. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations (IFRS 5) A non-current asset (or a disposal group) is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly probable. The relevant assets and liabilities are shown separately on the balance sheet under “Non-current assets held for sale” and “Liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale”. A non-current asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. If the fair value is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. A non-current asset is not depreciated or amortised while it is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: 45 - represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, - is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or - is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. A single amount is disclosed on the face of the income statement comprising the total of the following items: - the post-tax profit or loss for the discontinued operation until the date of disposal; - the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement at fair value less costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation. 1.4 Consolidation methods and principles (IAS 27, 28 and 31) Scope of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CACF and all companies over which CACF exercises control or significant influence in accordance with IAS 27, IAS 28 and IAS 31. This is presumed to be the case when CACF directly or indirectly holds at least 20% of the existing and potential voting rights. Definitions of control In accordance with international financial reporting standards, all entities over which the CACF Group has exclusive or joint control or over which it exercises significant influence are included in the consolidated financial statements, provided that their contribution is deemed to be material and they are not covered by the exclusions listed below. Materiality is assessed in light of three main criteria expressed as a threshold of total consolidated assets, consolidated equity and consolidated net income. Exclusive control is presumed to exist when CACF owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of an entity's existing or potential voting rights unless, in exceptional circumstances, it can be clearly demonstrated that such ownership does not constitute control. Exclusive control also exists when CACF owns half or less of the existing and potential voting rights of an entity but has the power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the management bodies. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity by two or more co-venturers. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not exclusive or joint control over those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when CACF owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, 20% or more of an entity's voting rights. 46 Consolidation methods Consolidation methods are set out in IAS 27, 28 and 31. The method used depends on the type of control exercised by CACF over entities that can be consolidated, regardless of their business activity and whether or not they have legal entity status: - full consolidation for entities under exclusive control, including entities with different financial statement structures, even if their business is not an extension of that of CACF; - proportional integration for entities under joint control, including entities with different financial statement structures, even if their business is not an extension of that of CACF; - equity method for entities over which CACF exercises significant influence. Full consolidation consists in substituting for the value of the securities each of the assets and liability items carried by each subsidiary. The share of minority interests in equity and net income are disclosed separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheet and income statement. Minority interests are interests that do not have power to control as defined by IAS 27 and include instruments that are present ownership interests and entitle the holder to a proportionate share of the net assets in the event of liquidation, as well as other equity instruments issued by the subsidiary and not owned by the Group. Proportional consolidation consists of eliminating the carrying amount of the interest recognised in the consolidating company's financial statements and recognising a proportion of the assets, liabilities and results of the entity representing the consolidating company's interest. Equity method accounting consists of eliminating the carrying value of the Group's interest and recognising its share of the equity and net income of the entities concerned. Consolidation adjustments and eliminations Adjustments are made to harmonise the accounting methods used by consolidated companies, unless they are deemed to be non-material. Intra-group transactions are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheet and income statement. Gains or losses on the sales of assets between consolidated companies are eliminated. Any lasting impairment measured at the time of an internal disposal is recognised. Translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements (IAS 21) The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into euros in two stages: - where necessary, the local accounting currency is translated into the functional currency (currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) using the historical cost method and any translation adjustments are recognised immediately in profit or loss; - the functional currency is translated into euros, the currency in which the Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented. Balance sheet items are translated at the closing rate. Income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. 47 Translation adjustments arising from the translation of the balance sheet and income statement are recorded under a specific item in equity. Business Combinations – Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3, except for combinations of entities or businesses under common control, which are not covered by IFRS 3. These transactions are accounted for at their net carrying amount in accordance with French GAAP, as permitted by IAS 8. On the date of acquisition, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity which satisfy the conditions for recognition set out in IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair value. Restructuring liabilities are only recognised as a liability of the acquired entity if, at the date of acquisition, the acquiree is under an obligation to complete the restructuring. For transactions completed after 1 January 2010, any contingent consideration (price adjustment) is recognised at its fair value (if it can be measured reliably) even if its occurrence is not considered probable. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as a financial liability are recognised in profit or loss. For transactions completed on or before 31 December 2009, contingent consideration is only included in the cost of the combination if its occurrence is probable, even after the twelve-month measurement period. Since 1 January 2010, the components of a non-controlling interest that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a share of the net assets in the event of liquidation may be measured in one of two ways, at the acquirer's option: - at their value on the acquisition date; - at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. This option is available on a transaction by transaction basis. Other components of a non-controlling interest (equity instruments issued by the subsidiary not owned by the Group) are recognised at their acquisition-date fair value. The initial valuation of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities may be revised within a maximum period of 12 months after the acquisition date. Some transactions relating to the acquired entity are recognised separately from the business combination, mainly including: - a transaction that in effect settles pre-existing relationships between the acquirer and acquiree; - a transaction that remunerates employees or former owners of the acquiree for future services; - a transaction that reimburses the acquiree or its former owners for paying the acquirer’s acquisition-related costs. These separate transactions are usually recognised through profit or loss on the acquisition date. 48 The consideration transferred in a business combination (acquisition cost) is measured as the sum of the fair values transferred by the acquirer on the acquisition date in exchange for control of the entity acquired (e.g. cash, equity instruments, etc.). For transactions completed on or before 31 December 2009, the cost of the acquisition also included costs directly attributable to the business combination. For business combinations completed on or after 1 January 2010, acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, separately from the business combination. If the transaction is highly probable, these costs are recognised under "net gains or losses on disposal of other assets", otherwise they are recognised as "general operating expenses". Any positive difference between i) the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of any minority interest and ii) the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed measured at fair value is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet under the heading "Goodwill" when the entity acquired is fully or proportionately consolidated and under the heading equity-accounted companies when the entity acquired is accounted for by the equity method. Any negative difference is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Goodwill is recognised in the balance sheet at its initial amount in the currency of the acquired entity and translated at the closing rate. In the case of business combinations achieved in stages, on the date that control is obtained, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at fair value through profit or loss on the acquisition date and the goodwill is calculated once only based on the acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever there is objective evidence that it might be impaired and at least once a year. The choices and assumptions used to measure minority interests on the acquisition date may influence the amount of initial goodwill and any impairment loss. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the business combination. The CGUs have been defined within the Group's core business lines as the smallest group of identifiable assets and liabilities that operate according to their own specific business model. Impairment testing consists of comparing the carrying amount of each CGU, including any goodwill allocated to it, with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cashgenerating unit, as set out in the medium-term business plans prepared by the Group for management purposes. If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, a corresponding impairment loss is recognised against the goodwill allocated to the CGU. This impairment loss is not reversible. If CACF increases its ownership interest in an entity it already controls, the difference between the consideration transferred and the additional share of net assets acquired is recognised in "Consolidated reserves attributable to owners of the parent". If CACF reduces its ownership interest in an entity without losing control, the difference between the sale price and the carrying amount of the minority interest sold is also recognised directly in consolidated reserves. Expenses related to these transactions are recognised in equity. 49 In the event of a change in ownership interest in an entity that is already controlled, the value of the goodwill remains unchanged but is reallocated between equity attributable to owners of the parent and minority interests. As a result, the accounting treatment of put options granted to minority shareholders is as follows: - When a put option is granted to the minority shareholders of a fully consolidated company, a liability is recognised on the balance sheet. It is initially measured at the estimated net present value of the option's exercise price. In consideration for the liability, the share of net assets belonging to the minority shareholders is reduced to zero and the balance is deducted from equity. - Subsequent changes in the estimated value of the exercise price will affect the amount of the liability and will give rise to a corresponding adjustment to equity. Symmetrically, subsequent changes in the share of net assets belonging to the minority shareholders are cancelled out through an adjustment to equity. Disposals that involve the loss of control give rise to the derecognition of the entire ownership interest and the recognition of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value on the transaction date. 50 1.5 Main impacts of the change in method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses (IAS 19) 31 December 2009 (in millions of euros) Income statement Gross operating income - o/w employee benefits expense Income tax Net income (owners + NCI) Minority Interests Net income attributable to owners of the parent Earnings per share (in euros) Diluted earnings per share (in euros) Published 1 766 964 -562 441 -93 336 431 806 77 915 353 891 40,60 40,60 Impact of IAS 19 option -6 377 -6 377 1 688 -4 689 -169 Adjusted 1 760 -568 -91 427 77 587 818 648 117 746 -4 520 -0,52 -0,52 349 371 40,08 40,08 4 520 -8 966 Statement of other comprehensive income Other comprhensive income (net of tax) attributable to the owners excluding equity accounted entities Share of other comprehensive income of equity accounted entities Net income attributable to owners of the parent Net income and other comprehensive income attributable to minority interests -13 486 -839 353 891 -839 -4 520 66 754 349 371 66 754 Balance sheet Liabilities and equities Other comprehensive income Net income for the year Minority Interests -29 836 353 891 324 571 4 520 -4 520 -25 316 349 371 324 571 Statement of changes in equity Other comprehensive income (column heading)/change in other comprehensive income -29 836 4 520 -25 316 525 142 1 232 084 -6 377 6 377 518 765 1 238 461 Cash flow statement Pre-tax income Net impairment and provision charges 51 2 Scope of consolidation The scope of consolidation at 31 December 2010 is presented in detail at the end of these notes. 2.1 Changes in scope of consolidation during the year Companies consolidated for the first time in 2010 - Antena Antena is a Greek entity, 80% owned by Emporiki Credicom (wholly-owned subsidiary of CA Consumer Finance) since end-2007. Its main activity is leasing. This entity was not consolidated in 2009, but has been consolidated since 1 January 2010 as it now meets the materiality criteria. In the first quarter of 2010, Antena increased its share capital by €22 million. The capital increase was fully suscribed by Emporiki Credicom and the minority interests were therefore diluted by 20% to 0.37%. The capital increase was paid for with Emporiki Rent shares (wholly-owned subsidiary of Emporiki Credicom). Consequently, at 31 December 2010, Antena was fully consolidated with a 99.63% ownership interest for the Group. - GAC – Sofinco Auto Finance Co. Ltd GAC – Sofinco Auto Finance Co. Ltd is a newly-created 50/50 joint venture between Gaungzhou Automobile Group Co. Ltd and CACF. It has a carrying amount of €24.5 million. Launched in July 2010, it offers financing solutions to dealerships of vehicle makes related to GAC in China. As CACF exercises significant influence over this entity, GAC-Sofinco has been accounted for by the equity method at 50% since 1 July 2010. Companies deconsolidated in 2010 - Winding-up of GIE Sofilead & GIE Sofiliance These two economic interest groups were 50% owned by Finaref and 50% by Sofinco. Their purpose was to pool the interests of Finaref and Sofinco. On 1 April 2010, concurrently with the Finaref/Sofinco/CACF merger, these two GIEs were in the process of winding up. - Winding up of GIE Argence Management GIE Argence Management is the economic interest group that employees the staff responsible for defining the strategic and general outlines of the Finaref Group's policy. On 1 April 2010, Finaref was merged into Sofinco, which was then renamed CA Consumer Finance. GIE Argence Management therefore has no further purpose and it is currently in liquidation. The staff employed by the GIE were transferred to CA Consumer Finance concurrently with the merger. As the balances and transactions remaining after 31 March 2010 were not material, GIE Argence Management was deconsolidated as of 1 April 2010. 52 - Disposal of Fia-Net Fia-Net SA is a French entity, wholly-owned by CACF. It provides a certification service to secure online payments. At 30 September 2010, it was sold to Crédit Agricole SA for the sum of €25.9 million. - Deconsolidation of Credigen Credigen is a Hungarian entity, wholly-owned by CACF. In 2010, it was decided to gradually runoff Credigen's operations. At 31 December 2010, Credigen was not making any further loans and was deconsolidated as it no longer met the materiality criteria. - Deconsolidation of Sofinco Saudi Fransi SSF is a Saudi entity, 50%-owned by CACF. In 2010, it was decided to gradually run-off SSF's operations. At 31 December 2010, SSF was deconsolidated as it no longer met the materiality criteria. - Disposal of Carrefour Servizi Finanziari CSF is an Italian entity 40%-owned by Agos Ducato and 24.40% by CACF. On 31 December 2010, Agos sold its interest to Société des Paiements Pass S.A. for the sum of €3.3 million. As the disposal was outside the CACF Group, a €0.2 million gain on the Group's interest was recognised at 31 December 2010. Other changes - Sofinco/ Finaref/CACF merger As described in the section on significant events of 2010, Sofinco, Finaref and Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance merged with retroactive effect at 1 January 2010. On 1 April 2010, Sofinco did not hold an equity interest in Finaref and the merger was therefore paid for by way of a distribution of new Sofinco shares to Finaref's shareholders. - Merger of Antena and Emporiki Rent On 15 October 2010, Emporiki Rent was merged into Antena with no retroactive effect, with the aim of combining all the Emporiki Group's leasing activities into a single entity. After the merger, Antena-Rent was renamed Emporiki Rent Long Term Leasing Of Vehicles S.A. Change of company name - Credit Agricole Consumer Finance Nederland On 1 July 2010, Crédit Agricole Deveurope was renamed Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance Nederland. - Credicom Consumer Finance Bank S.A On 2 December 2010, Emporiki Credicom was renamed Credicom Consumer Finance Bank S.A. 53 2.2 Main acquisitions made during the year No acquisitions were made in 2010. 2.3 Investments in equity accounted entities 31/12/2010 (in thousands of euros) Ucalease* Climauto* Alsolia Wafasalaf Carrefour Servizi Finanziari Finalia GAC Sofinco Auto Finance Co.

Its task is to control credit, market and operational risk and to oversee projects affecting management of these risks. A detailed description of the risk management system now appears in the management report in the section entitled “Risk factors”, as permitted by IFRS 7. Nonetheless, the accounting breakdowns are still presented in the financial statements. 3.1. Credit risk (see Management Report, note 3.1) Credit risk occurs when counterparty is unable to honour its obligations and when the carrying amount of these obligations in the bank’s books is positive. The counterparty may be a bank, an industrial or commercial enterprise, a government and its various entities, an investment fund, or an individual. The exposure may be a loan, debt or equity instrument, performance exchange contract, performance bond or unused confirmed commitment. The risk also includes the settlement risk inherent in any transaction entailing an exchange of cash or physical goods outside a secure settlement system. Maximum exposure to credit risk An entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the gross carrying amount, net of any offsetting amount and any recognised impairment loss.

Market risk (see Management Report, note 3.2) Market risk is the risk of a negative impact on the income statement or balance sheet of adverse fluctuations in the value of financial instruments following changes in market parameters, including: - interest rates: interest rate risk is the risk of a change in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to a change in interest rates; - exchange rates: foreign exchange risk is the risk of a change in the fair value of a financial instrument due to a change in exchange rates; - prices: price risk is the risk of a change in the price and volatility of equities and commodities, baskets of equities and stock indices. The instruments most exposed to this risk are variableincome securities, equity derivatives and commodity derivatives. 62 Derivative instruments: analysis by remaining maturity Hedging derivative instruments – fair value of assets 31/12/2010 E xchange-traded (in thousands of euros) Under 1 year 1 to 5 years Over 5 years Interest rate instruments: .

The remaining contractual maturities of derivative instruments are shown in note 3.2 “Market Risk”. 67 3.4. Cash flow and fair value interest rate and foreign exchange hedging (see Management Report, note 3.2.5) Derivative financial instruments used in a hedging relationship are designated according to the intended purpose: - fair value hedge; - cash flow hedge; - hedge of a net investment in a foreign currency. Each hedging relationship is formally documented describing the strategy, item hedged and hedging instrument, and method of measuring effectiveness. Fair value hedges A fair value hedge modifies the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed-rate financial instrument caused by changes in interest rates. Fair value hedges transform fixed-rate assets or liabilities into floating-rate assets or liabilities. Items hedged are principally fixed-rate loans, securities, deposits and subordinated debt. Cash flow hedges A cash flow hedge modifies the risk related to variability in cash flows arising from floating-rate financial instruments. Items hedged are principally floating-rate loans and deposits. Hedges of a net investment in a foreign currency A hedge of a net investment in a foreign currency protects the Group against fluctuations in exchange rates and resulting changes in the value of assets or liabilities held in currencies other than the entity's reference currency.

Operational risk (see Management Report, note 3.3.1) Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events that are not related to a credit, market or liquidity risk. 3.6. Capital management and regulatory ratios The amendment to IAS 1 adopted by the European Union on 11 January 2006 requires disclosure of information on the entity’s capital and capital management. The purpose of the amendment is to disclose information that enables users of the entity's financial statements to evaluate its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. It requires disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information in the notes to the financial statements, including summary quantitative data about what the entity manages as capital, a description of any externally imposed capital requirements (such as regulatory requirements), an indication as to whether the entity has complied with such regulatory requirements, and, if not, the consequences of such noncompliance. In accordance with the French prudential regulations applicable to banks, which implement the provisions of the European directives on "Capital Adequacy of Investment Firms and Credit Institutions" and "Financial Conglomerates", the CACF Group must comply with the prescribed capital ratios, liquidity ratios and rules on division of risks and balance sheet management. As required by the French Prudential Control Authority, the CACF Group manages its capital in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements defined in Regulation 90/02 in order to cover risk-weighted assets for credit risk, operational risk and market risk. The French decree of 20 February 2007 implements the provisions of the European Capital Requirements Directives or "CRD" (2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC). The decree defines the “capital requirements applicable to credit institutions and investment firms” and the methods of calculating the solvency ratio as of 1 January 2008. In 2007, in accordance with these provisions, the CACF Group incorporated the impacts of the new European CRD directive into its capital and risk management system. However, the regulator maintained the additional capital requirements relating to floors until 31 December 2011 (the Basel II requirement cannot be less than 80% of the Basel I requirement). Regulatory capital breaks down into three categories: - Tier 1 capital, comprising the Group’s equity adjusted notably for unrealised gains and losses; - Tier 2 capital, which is limited to 100% of the amount of Tier 1 capital and consists primarily of subordinated debt; - Tier 3 capital eligible for the ratio, which consists primarily of subordinated debt with a shorter maturity. Equity investments in other credit institutions are deducted directly from the amount of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, in accordance with the regulations. Under the “Financial Conglomerates Directive”, the CACF Group is required to deduct the value of its investments in equity-accounted insurance companies. In accordance with regulations, the value of entities acquired before 1 January 2007 is deducted from total capital. 69 The regulations require the CACF Group to maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4% and a total solvency ratio of 8%. In 2010, as in 2009, the CACF Group met these regulatory requirements. 4. Notes to the income statement 4.1.

Segment reporting Definition of operating segments The CACF Group's only business is consumer finance, which it conducts through its various products and distribution channels. The business forms part of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Group's Specialised Financial Services division. However, the CACF Group's internal reporting to the Board of Directors and General Management is based on four operating segments: • France; • Italy; • Other international subsidiaries; • Automobile partnerships. Transactions between operating segments are conducted on an arm's length basis. Segment assets are determined on the basis of the accounting items comprising the balance sheet of each operating segment.

The shareholders resolved to distribute the sum of €244,967,359.40 from the share premium account and €113,293,756.60 from retained earnings. The dividend payment was made as follows: • in shares, for the sum of €115,895 thousand, • in cash, for the sum of €242,366 thousand. Appropriation of 2010 net income and 2010 dividend recommendation The proposed appropriation of net income and recommended dividend for 2010 were set out in the resolutions presented by the Board of Directors to CACF's annual general meeting of shareholders on 5 May 2011. The proposed resolutions are as follows: Fourth resolution At the proposal of the Board of Directors and voting under the quorum and majority conditions required for ordinary business, the shareholders resolve to distribute the sum of €200,795,774.80 from the share premium account. Fifth resolution Voting under the quorum and majority conditions required for ordinary business, the shareholders duly note that net income for 2010 amounted to €181,293,840.24. Consequently, having duly noted that the legal reserve has already reached 10% of the share capital, the shareholders resolve to apply the net income for the year, plus the sum of €200,795,774.80 from the share premium account in accordance with the fourth resolution, in payment of a net dividend of €43.00 per share, making a total of €382,089,615.00. 88 6.16.

Other employee benefits CACF's collective variable compensation policy is based mainly on the following items. Mandatory profit-sharing is defined in the profit-sharing agreement signed on 29 June 2010 and last amended on 30 September 2010 (amendment no. 1). For 2010, an expense of €23.9 million was recognised. Discretionary profit-sharing is defined in the 2008/2009/2010 discretionary profit-sharing agreement signed on 26 June 2008 between General Management and the trade unions, last amended on 3 February 2009. For 2010, an expense of €12.8 million was recognised. Retirement benefits and long-service awards (including seniority bonuses) are covered by the company agreement negotiated each year between management and the various trade unions. A provision of €31 million was recognised in respect of these long-term benefits in the 2010 financial statements. Other similar benefits exist in some of the Group's international subsidiaries. Their terms and conditions are defined locally in accordance with local legislation and regulations. A provision of €39.9 million was recognised in respect of these commitments in the 2010 financial statements. The number of hours acquired by CACF employees under the individual training entitlement (Droit Individuel à la Formation) amounted to 366,081 at 31 December 2010. The following table shows the movement in this entitlement during the year. No provision has been recognised in the financial statements.

CACF CACF's stock option plans were all established prior to 6 October 2006. All the stock options had been exercised at end-2010. In 2010, the expense related to these plans recognised in the consolidated financial statements amounted to €763 thousand. Agos Since 2001, Agos has established six stock option plans (one a year). All the stock options had been exercised at end-2009. Crédit Agricole S.A. 92 Stock options on Crédit Agricole S.A. shares were granted to certain executive officers of the CACF Group from 2003 to 2006. Shares that could potentially be issued under these plans represented an expense of €762 thousand for 2010. This sum was recognised in employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in "Consolidated reserves attributable to owners of the parent", as required by IFRS 2. 7.7. Executive compensation The Directors of CACF do not receive any compensation in respect of their office. In 2010, members of CACF's Executive Committee (21 people) received aggregate compensation of €3,493,683.25. This amount includes fixed salary, variable compensation, benefits and 2009 mandatory and discretionary profit-sharing paid in 2010. Other long-term benefits represented a cost of €721,475 in 2010. The items listed above do not include any banking or consumer credit benefits on terms available to all CACF employees. Nor do they include any entitlement to retirement benefits and longservice awards, the amount of which is calculated on an actuarial basis in accordance with the company agreements and on terms applicable to all employees. These amounts are included in provisions. 93 8.

The taking of such collateral is not a systematic policy given its marginal contribution to the CACF Group's activities. The CACF Group does not recognise any assets obtained through repossessions. As part of their automobile financing business, the Group's entities may repossess financed vehicles during the legal debt collection process. Repossessed vehicles are not accounted for separately and are sold as soon as possible. Amounts recovered are applied in reduction of the sums owned by the customers. The statistical determination of collective and individual impairment takes account of this type of future cash inflow. 94 Reclassification of financial instruments • Reclassifications made by the CACF Group As in previous years, the CACF Group did not reclassify any financial instruments in 2010 pursuant to the amendment to IAS 39 adopted by the European Union on 15 October 2008. 95 9. Fair value of financial instruments Fair value of a financial instrument is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair values shown below are estimates made on the reporting date. They may change in subsequent periods due to developments in market conditions or other factors. The calculations represent best estimates, which are based on various valuation models and assumptions. To the extent that these models contain uncertainties, the fair values shown may not be achieved upon actual sale or immediate settlement of the financial instruments concerned. In practice, and in line with the going-concern principle, not all these financial instruments would necessarily be settled immediately at the values estimated below. 9.1. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost (in thousands of euros) ASSETS Loans and receivables to credit institutions Loans and receivables to customers Held-to-maturity investments Investment property LIABILITIES Due to credit institutions Due to customers Debt securities in issue Subordinated debt 31/12/2010 Estimated Carrying market amount value 31/12/2009 Carrying amount Estimated market value 6 803 621 50 201 197 7 368 281 50 456 803 6 970 987 48 870 714 6 969 422 48 495 969 618 618 617 617 45 008 047 222 644 9 039 978 2 392 584 44 415 222 8 887 2 401 470 644 063 585 39 460 208 12 260 2 393 892 270 010 456 39 460 208 12 027 2 410 007 270 698 804 For financial instruments quoted in an active market, the best estimate of fair value is the market price (quoted, published prices). In the absence of an active market or reliable market data, fair value is determined using an appropriate method consistent with usual practice in the financial markets, e.g. by reference to the market value of a comparable instrument, discounted future cash flows or valuation models. When fair values have to be estimated using valuation techniques, discounted cash flow is the mostly commonly used method. In addition, the CACF Group has taken account of the report published by the IASB Expert Advisory Panel on 31 October 2008 on measuring and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments in markets that are no longer active. In some cases, market values are close to carrying amounts.
