PART A
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A1. General Information
Section 1 - Statement of compliance with IFRS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FCA Bank S.p.A. for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are being provided pursuant to Rule 3-09 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). The designation IFRS also includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as well as all the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC” and “SIC”).
In accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, only the 2013 consolidated financial statements are required to be audited under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards as 2013 was the only year in which FCA Bank S.p.A. met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 are unaudited.
Section 2 - Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in compliance with Bank of Italy Instructions dated December 22, 2014 (Instructions for the preparation of financial statements of Financial Institutions entered in Bank of Italy’s “Special Register”).
The consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the same accounting policies adopted to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis and in accordance with the accrual
basis of accounting, and on a going-concern accounting gaap.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in thousands of Euros.
The consolidated financial statements are audited by Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A..
Section 3 - Subsequent events
Effective 14 January 2015, FCA Bank S.p.A., with registered office and operational headquarters in Turin, Corso G. Agnelli, 200 - CAP 10135, was entered in the Bank Register under article 13 of the Consolidated Law on Banking (TUB).
FCA Bank S.p.A. - which resulted from the change in the corporate purpose of “FGA Capital S.p.A.”, a financial company
- was attributed registration number 5764.
As of the above mentioned date, the Company is no longer registered in the general and special lists provided for by TUB. Again, as of 14 January 2015, FCA Bank S.p.A. was entered in the Register of banking groups, as per article 64 of TUB, as “FCA Bank S.p.A.” group, with the new bank as the parent company.
On 15 January 2015, the Swiss National Bank allowed the Swiss franc to float freely against the Euro. Consequently the Swiss currency rose substantially against the single currency.
Section 4 - Other information
There was no further information to be reported at year-end.
Section 5 - Scope and methods of consolidation
Scope of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 include the accounts of the parent company, FCA Bank S.p.A., and its direct and indirect Italian and foreign subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and companies subject to significant influence, as specifically provided for by IFRS 10 which replaces partially IAS 27, “Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements”, and totally SIC-12, “Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities”. IFRS 10 introduces also a single consolidation model applicable to all companies, including SPEs under SIC-12. SPEs/SPVs, in particular, continue to be consolidated when there is actual control, regardless of the existence of any equity interest.
The following table lists the companies included in the scope of consolidation. It shows company name, registered office, country of incorporation, if different from registered office, type of relationship, percentage of ownership and, if different, percentage of votes exercisable at general meetings:

Consolidation methods
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries (approved by each Board and prepared according to IAS/IFRS) are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses.
The book value of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary company and the corresponding portion of the equity of each subsidiary of the parent company are eliminated.
Any differences arising from the consolidation process are stated - after allocating amounts to the assets and liabilities of the consolidated subsidiary, where possible - as goodwill at the date of the first time consolidation and, subsequently, as other reserves.
Non-controlling interests in the net profit of consolidated subsidiaries for the reporting period are identified and adjusted against the profit of the Parent Company’s shareholders so as to arrive at the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company.
Intercompany balances and transactions and related unrealized profits are eliminated in full.
The financial statements of the parent company and of other companies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are prepared as at the same reporting date.
When the financial statements of foreign companies are prepared in a currency other than the Euro, assets and liabilities are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date while income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.
In translating the financial statements of a foreign subsidiary, income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates while assets and liabilities are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing on and the reporting date spot.
All resulting exchange differences are recorded under equity until the disposal of the net investment.
The exchange rates used for the consolidated financial statements are set out in a Section 7 - Additional information of these notes.
A.2 MAIN ITEMS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In this section accounting policy for the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 december 2014 is exposed. It is referred to
recognition, classification, valuation and derecognition criteria for assets and liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities held for trading
Recognition method
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the settlement date.
Financial assets and liabilities held for trading are initially recognized at their fair value, without considering transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument.
Classification criteria
This item only includes the positive and negative value of derivative financial instruments held for trading.
Valuation method
After initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities held for trading are measured at their fair value, that normally corresponds to the consideration paid.
The fair value of the derivative contracts is determined using valuation models that take account of risks relating to the instruments and that are based on information available on the market such as interest rate.
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets and liabilities held for trading are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows deriving therefrom expire or when the financial asset or liability is sold, substantially transferring all related risks and rewards.
Financial assets available for sale
Recognition method
Financial assets held for sale are recognized on the date of settlement.
They are initially recorded at fair value, inclusive of directly attributable costs or revenues. Instruments reclassified out of Financial assets held to maturity are measured at their fair value at the time they are transferred.
Classification criteria
This item includes debt securities that are not classified as “Financial assets held for trading”, “Financial assets held to maturity” or as “Receivables”. In addition to bonds not held for trading, bonds not accounted for as “Financial assets held to maturity” or as “Receivables”, this item includes shares that are not held for trading or that might not be qualified as controlling interests or investments in associates or joint ventures.
Valuation method
After the initial recognition, Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with the corresponding amortized cost reported in the income statement and gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in Other comprehensive income, until the asset is either disposed of or impaired. When the asset is sold or impaired, the relevant cumulative gain or loss is reversed to profit or loss. Fair value is measured on the basis of the criteria already illustrated for Financial assets held for trading.
The existence of objective evidence of impairment is checked at fiscal year-end or at half-year end. In the presence of any such evidence, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the asset’s original effective interest rate.
Reversals of impairment are recognized in profit or loss, in case of debt instruments, and in equity, in case of shares. Reversals cannot result in a carrying amount that exceeds what the amortized cost would have been had no impairment been recognized.
Financial assets held to maturity
Recognition method
Financial assets held to maturity are recognized on the date of settlement.
They are initially recorded at fair value, inclusive of directly attributable costs or revenues.
Classification criteria
This item includes debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity date that the entity has the intention and ability to hold until maturity.
Valuation method
After initial recognition, financial assets held to maturity are stated at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses relating to financial assets held to maturity are recorded in the income statements when the assets are derecognized or impaired and through the amortization of the difference between book value and the amount repayable at maturity.
As part of year-end and interim closing procedures, a test is performed to determine whether there is objective evidence of possible impairment.
If such evidence exists, the loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flow, as discounted at the original effective rate of interest. Any such losses are recorded in the income statement.
If the reasons for impairment cease to exist because of events taking place after impairment losses were recorded, the value of the asset may be restored through profit and loss.
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets held to maturity are derecognized when the contractual rights to cash flow from the assets expire or when the financial asset is sold, substantially transferring all related risks and rewards.
Receivables
Recognition method
Initial recognition of a receivable occurs at disbursement date. They are initially recorded at fair value, that is normally equivalent to the amount disbursed, inclusive of costs/revenues directly attributable to the single receivable and which can be determined right from the start of the transaction, even if they are liquidated at a later date.
Classification criteria
Receivables include financial instruments, different from derivatives, with fixed and determinable payments that are not listed on an active market and are not classified as “Financial assets held for trading”, “Financial assets held for sale” and “Financial assets held to maturity”.
“Due from customers” includes receivables arising from retail finance and finance lease transactions and loans assigned on a recourse basis. Receivables assigned on a non-recourse basis are reported after it is determined that there are no contractual clauses precluding their recognition.
Lease contracts are classified as finance leases when the terms of the contract transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are considered operating leases.
Amounts due from lessees under finance lease contracts are recognized as receivables for the amount of the Group’s investment in the leased assets.
Valuation method
After initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortized cost, equal to the initial value plus/minus principal repayments, write-downs / write-backs of value and amortization - calculated using the effective interest rate method - of the difference between the amount disbursed and the amount to be reimbursed at maturity, considering also the costs/ revenues directly related to each loan.
The effective rate of interest is determined as the rate that equals the present value of future cash flow from the receivable
- for principal and interest - as applied to the amount disbursed net of costs/revenues attributable to the loan.
By focusing on the cash movements, this accounting method allows the effect of the costs/revenues to be spread over the expected residual life of the loan. Short term loans, being negligible the time effect, are stated at historical cost. Receivables are regularly tested for impairment to check whether their estimated realizable value has decreased.
This is performed by applying a statistical method to measure collectively, in homogeneous categories, groups of loans that are not meaningful individually. The estimated cash flows from the assets are reduced by expected losses as determined based on historical data, taking account of corrective measures derived from the qualitative analysis of the loans.
Significant individual receivables are tested separately.
The impairment adjustment is determined as the difference between the book value and the amount expected to be collected. Collective adjustments are recorded in the income statement.
Derecognition criteria
Loans are derecognized in part or in full when they are no longer considered recoverable. The losses are recorded in the income statement net of write-downs / provisions previously made.
Amounts recovered on loans previously written down are recorded against the item “net adjustments to non-performing loans”.
Loans sold are derecognized if the transaction involves the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits relating to the loans. However, if the risks and benefits relating to the loans sold remain with the Group, the loans continue to be reported, even though title to them has actually been transferred.
If it is not possible to determine whether or not all risks and benefits have been substantially transferred, the loans are derecognized if no form of control has been maintained over them. Meanwhile, if some form of control has been maintained, the loans continue to be reported in proportion to the remaining control, as measured based on the Group’s exposure to changes in the value of the loans sold and to changes in cash flows from the loans. Finally, the loans sold are derecognized if the contractual rights to receive related cash flows have been retained while a commitment has been made to pay said cash, and only it, to other third parties.
Other information - Securitised portfolio
Certain companies of FCA Bank Group take part in securitisation programmes as issuers of and investors in securities from such transactions. Other companies take part in third party securitisation transactions solely as investors in the securities issued.
Securitisation transactions involve the sale of a portfolio of receivables, on a non-recourse basis, to a special purpose entity that finances the purchase of the receivables by issuing Asset Backed Securities i.e. securities whose repayment and interest flow depend on the cash flow generated by the portfolio of receivables.
Asset-backed securities are divided into different classes depending on their seniority and rating: the senior ones are issued on the market and subscribed by investors; the junior ones, which are redeemed after the senior ABS, are subscribed by FCA Bank Group companies.
Pursuant to IFRS 10, SPEs are included in the scope of consolidation as investment in junior asset-backed securities and the involvement of the originator company in arranging the programs and drafting the contracts imply substantial control over the SPE.
Hedging transaction
Types of hedges
Hedging transactions are intended to neutralize potential losses on a specific item or group of items, attributable to a specific risk, through the gains generated on another instrument or group of instruments in the event that the specific risk in question materializes.
FCA Bank Group applies, with the aim of covering its exposure to changes in future cash flows, with reference to retail financing portfolio and bond issued, hedging instruments designated as Fair Value Hedge.
This approach is not applied to derivative financial instruments with the purpose of hedging the interest rate risk associated with the funding related to long term rental activity, on which are applied hedging instruments designated as Cash Flow Hedge.
Only those entered into with a counterparty not belonging to the Group may be treated as hedging instruments.
Valuation method
Hedging derivatives are stated at fair value and changes in their fair value are allocated, for the effective portion of the hedge, to a specific equity reserve in the case of Cash Flow Hedge, while in the case of Fair Value Hedge they are recognized through profit and loss.
Fair value is calculated on the basis of interest rates and exchange rates quoted on the market and represents the discounted cash flows on single contracts.
A derivative instrument is designated to be a hedge if the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument is documented and if it is effective from the time the hedge starts and throughout the entire period of the hedge.
In the case of Cash Flow Hedge, the effectiveness of the hedge depends on the extent to which variations in the fair value of the hedged item or related expected cash flows are offset by those of the hedging instrument. Therefore, effectiveness is appraised by comparing the aforementioned variations, considering the intent of the entity at the time it entered into the hedging transaction. A hedge is effective (in a range between 80% and 125%) when the changes in the fair value (or cash flows) of the hedging financial instrument almost entirely offset the changes in hedged item with regard to the risk being hedged.
In the case of Fair Value Hedge, FCA Bank Group applies the so-called Macrohedge to homogeneous risk groups. The risk exposure is determined by comparing the nominal amount of underlying receivable portfolio with the notional amount of hedging derivatives until the next re-pricing date (maturity date for fixed-rate positions).
In both cases, if these tests do not confirm the effectiveness of the hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the hedging derivative is reclassified to instruments held for trading.
Equity investments
Interests held in associated companies are recorded using the equity method.
If there is any evidence that the value of an investment has been impaired, the recoverable value of the investment is estimated, taking account of the future cash flows that it will generate, including its disposal value.
If the recovery value is lower than book value, the difference is recorded in the income statement.
In later periods, if the reasons for the impairment cease to exist, the original value may be restored through the income statement.
Property, plant and equipment
Recognition method
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost. This includes the purchase price paid and all incidental charges directly attributable to the purchase and to make the asset fully operational. Costs incurred after purchase are only capitalized if they lead to an increase in the future economic benefits deriving from the asset to which they relate. All other costs are recorded in the income statement as incurred.
Classification criteria
Tangible assets include land, buildings, furniture, fittings, plants, other machinery and equipment.
These are tangible assets held for use in the production or supply of goods and services, for rental to third parties or for administrative purposes and which are expected to be used during more than one accounting period.
Leased assets include vehicles given to clients under operating leases by the Group’s leasing companies. Trade receivables under operating lease agreements that are being collected or are subject to recovery procedures are classified under “Other assets”. Operating lease agreements with buyback clauses are also classified under “Other assets”.
Valuation method
After initial recognition, tangible assets are stated at cost, net of cumulative depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis considering the remaining useful life and value of the asset.
At every reporting date, if there is any evidence that an asset might be impaired, the book value of the asset is compared with its realizable value - equal to the higher of fair value, net of any selling costs, and the value in use of the asset, defined as the net present value of future cash flows generated by the asset. Any impairment losses and adjustments are recorded in the income statement. Initial direct costs incurred when negotiating and agreeing on the operating lease are added to the value of the leased assets in equal instalments over the duration of the contract.
Derecognition criteria
Property, plant and equipment are derecognized when they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from their disposal.
Intangible assets
Recognition method
Intangible assets are recognized when it is likely that their use will generate future economic benefits and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Goodwill is the positive difference between the acquisition cost of the investment (including incidental charges) and the fair value of the net asset value of the business acquired.
Classification criteria
The item mainly comprise Goodwill, “intellectual property rights” and software applications for long term use.
Valuation method
Intangible assets are valued at purchase or production cost and amortized except for goodwill on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
At every reporting date, where there is evidence of impairment losses, the recovery value of the intangible asset is estimated. The impairment loss, recorded in the income statement, is equal to the difference between the book value of the assets and its recovery value.
Goodwill is subjected to an impairment test every year (or whenever there is evidence that its value has been impaired). The cash generating unit to which to allocate the goodwill is identified for this purpose. The amount of any impairment is determined based on the book value of the goodwill and its recovery value, that is equal to the expected discounted cash flows. The recovery value is equal to the greater of the fair value of the cash generating unit, net of any selling costs, and the related value in use. Resulting impairment losses are recorded in the income statement and reversal are prohibited.
Derecognition criteria
Intangible assets are derecognized upon disposal or if no future economic benefits are expected.
Payables, securities issued and other liabilities
Recognition method
Initial recognition is based on the fair value of the liabilities. This normally equals the amount collected or the issue price, considering any transaction costs and income that may be directly allocated to the instrument.
Classification criteria
Borrowings from banks and other lenders and securities issued mainly include the various forms of funding used by the Group. In particular, securities issued comprise bonds issued by Special Purpose Entities in relation to securitisation transactions.
Valuation method
After initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost as calculated with the effective interest method. On the other hand, short term liabilities where the time factor has a negligible effect are recorded at amount collected.
Derecognition criteria
Financial liabilities are derecognized when they expire or are extinguished. Derecognition also takes place upon the repurchase of securities previously issued. The difference between the book value of the liability and the amount paid to repurchase it is recorded in the income statement.
Post-employment and other employee benefits
Pension Plans
FCA Bank Group employees take part in several different defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans in accordance with local conditions and practice in the countries in which the Group operates.
In Italy, the Employee Severance Fund is recognized as “post-employment benefits”, which are treated as:
| |
• | a “defined contribution plan” for the provisions to the employee severance fund made after 1 January 2007 (date on which the supplementary pension reform under Legislative Decree no. 252 of 5 December 2005 came into force), whether the individual employees elect to have the sums attributable to them deposited in a supplementary pension fund or in the Treasury fund established by INPS, the Italian social security agency. These provisions are accounted for as personnel expenses, on the basis of the contributions payable, without any actuarial calculations; |
| |
• | a “defined benefit plan” for the provisions to the employee severance fund made until 31 December 2006; the plan is recognized on the basis of its actuarial value by using the “projected unit credit” method. These provisions are recognized on the basis of their actuarial present value by using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the provisions is set on the basis of the yields of bonds issued by prime corporates, taking into account the average terms to maturity of the liability, as weighted by the amounts paid or advanced, for each maturity date, as a percentage of the total payments to be made or advanced to extinguish the liability. |
Costs related to post-employment benefits are expensed as incurred and are accounted for in line item 110. a) “Administrative expenses: personnel expenses” and include, for the portion related to the defined benefit plan, (i) service costs for companies with less than 50 employees; (ii) interest accrued for the year (interest cost), for the portion attributable to the defined contribution plan; (iii) the provisions made during the year to either the supplementary pension fund selected by the employee or, in the absence of such selection, to INPS’s Treasury fund. On the asset side of the balance sheet, line item 100 “Employee severance fund” reflects the balance of the fund at 31 December 2006 minus all the payments made until 31 December 2014. On the liability side, line item 90 “Other liabilities - Due to social security entities” reflects the debt accrued as of the reporting date toward supplementary pension funds and INPS in relation to post-employment benefits.
Actuarial gains and losses, resulting from the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the liability at year-end, are recognized in equity in the Valuation reserve pursuant to IAS19 Revised.
Post-employment plans other than pensions
The FCA Bank Group provides certain defined benefit post-employment schemes, mainly healthcare plans. The applicable accounting method and the frequency of their calculation are similar to those used for defined-benefit pension plans.
Provisions for risks and charges
Retirement funds and similar obligations
Internal retirement funds are set up in accordance with company specific agreements and classified as defined benefit plans. Under these plans, employees leaving the company with the minimum period of service defined therein are entitled to a loyalty bonus equal to a number of months’ salary.
Liabilities under these funds and the related employment cost are determined based on actuarial assumptions.
The liability associated with these plans and the social security costs for current employees are recognized on the basis of actuarial assumptions by applying he projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from the valuation of the defined benefit plans are recognized in equity in the Valuation reserve.
The discount rate adopted to calculate the present value of post-employment benefits varies, depending on the country or the currency in which the liability is denominated, and is set by reference to yields, as of the reporting date, of bonds issued by prime companies with an average term to maturity consistent with that of the liability.
Other funds
Other provisions for risks and charges are intended to cover costs and charges of a determinate nature and which are certain or probable but whose amount and due date were uncertain at the reporting date. Provisions for risks and charges are only created when:
| |
a) | there is a current obligation (legal or constructed) as a result of a past event; |
| |
b) | it is likely that fulfilment of the obligation will involve a cost; |
| |
c) | the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. |
Where time value is significant, the provision is stated at the present value of the cost expected to be incurred to fulfil the obligation.
The item includes also long-term employee benefits, whose costs are calculated with the same actuarial criteria described for pension plans. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized when they are collected or, in any case, when it is probable that future benefits will be received and they can be reliably quantified. In particular, interest income on receivables and commissions from customers and interest income on receivables from banks are classified under “Interest and similar income” and recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Commission and interest received or paid in relation to financial instruments are accounted for on an accruals basis. Income from services is recorded when the services are rendered.
Cost recognition
Costs are recognized when they are incurred. In particular, interest expenses on financial instruments accounted at amortized cost and determinable from the start, regardless of when they are paid, are recognized through profit and loss.
Write-downs are recognized in the year they are incurred.
Insurance assets and liabilities
IFRS 4 describes an insurance contract as a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policy holder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder.
The Group’s insurance activity is related to the reinsurance of life and non-life policies sold to retail customers in order to protect the repayment of their debt.
The financial and operating effects of the reinsurance contracts issued and held were accounted, as required by Paragraph 2 of IFRS 4, in the items described below.
Other assets - Item 140 in Assets
This item includes reinsurance assets under contracts entered into by Group companies.
Other liabilities - Item 90 in Liabilities
This item includes reinsurance liabilities under contracts entered into by Group companies.
Fees and commissions income - Item 30 in Income Statement
This item includes:
| |
• | premiums received during the period in relation to insurance contracts, net of cancellations; |
| |
• | commission income and other revenues received in connection with re-insurance activities. |
Fees and commissions expenses - Item 40 in Income Statements
This item includes:
| |
• | costs related to premiums ceded to reinsurers; |
| |
• | commissions expenses and others expenses related to the insurance activity. |
Taxation
Corporate income tax is calculated in accordance with current tax law.
The tax charge (income) for the period represents the sum of both current and deferred tax charges included in determining the result for the year.
Current taxation represents the corporate income tax due (recoverable) on the taxable income (tax loss) for the year.
Deferred tax liabilities represent corporate income taxes due in future tax periods on taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets regard corporate income tax that may be recovered in future tax periods and relate to:
| |
a) | deductible timing differences; |
| |
b) | unused tax losses carried forward; |
| |
c) | unused tax credits carried forward. |
Timing differences relate to differences between the book value of an asset or a liability and the corresponding tax base.
They may relate to:
| |
a) | taxable timing differences i.e. timing differences that, in determining taxable income (tax loss) in future years, will give rise to taxable amounts when the book value of the assets or liabilities is realized or extinguished; |
| |
b) | deductible timing differences i.e. timing differences that, in determining taxable income (tax loss) in future years, will give rise to deductible amounts when the book value of the assets or liabilities is realized or extinguished. |
The tax base of an asset or liability is the value attributed to the asset or liability under applicable tax law. Deferred tax liabilities are recorded in respect of all taxable timing differences in accordance with IAS 12. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible timing differences under IAS 12 only if it is probable that there will be taxable income against which to utilize the deductible timing difference.
Tax assets and liabilities for deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the tax rate in force in the periods in which the asset will be realized or the liability extinguished.
Current and deferred taxes are recorded in the income statement except for that relating to gains or losses on available- for-sale financial assets and to changes in the fair value of derivative hedging instruments (cash flow hedges), which they are recognized, net of taxation, directly in equity.
Use of estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS which require the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities and the amounts of income and expense reported for the period.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on elements that are known when the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience and on any other factors that are considered to be relevant.
In this respect, the situation caused by the continuing difficulties of the economic and financial environment, in particular in the Eurozone, led to the need to make assumptions regarding future performance which are characterised by significant uncertainty; as a consequence, therefore, it cannot be excluded that results may arise in the future which differ from estimates, and which therefore might require adjustments, even significant, to be made to the carrying amount of the items in question, which at the present moment can clearly neither be estimated nor predicted.
The main items affected by these situations of uncertainty are non-current assets (tangible and intangible assets), deferred tax assets, provision for employee benefits, and allowances for contingencies liabilities.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and continuously by the Group. If the items considered in this process perform differently, then the actual results could differ from the estimates, which would accordingly require adjustment. The effects of any changes in estimate are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the adjustment is made if it only affects that period, or in the period of the adjustment and future periods if it affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical measurement processes and key assumptions used by the Group in applying IFRSs which may have significant effects on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements or for which there is a risk that a significant difference may arise in respect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the future.
Recoverability of non-current assets
Non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, other intangible assets, equity investments and other financial assets. The Group periodically reviews the carrying amount of non-current assets held and used and that of assets held for sale when events and circumstances warrant such a review. For goodwill such analysis is carried out at least annually and when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The analysis of the recoverable amount of non-current assets is usually performed using estimates of future expected cash flows from the use or disposal of the asset and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
The estimates and assumptions used as part of that analysis reflect the current state of the Group’s available knowledge as to the expected future development of the business of the various sectors and are based on a realistic assessment of the future development of the markets and the car industry, which remain subject to a high degree of uncertainty due to the continuation of the economic and financial crisis and its effects on that industry. Although current Group estimates do not indicate any other situations concerning possible impairment losses on non-current assets, any different developments in the economic environment or Group performance could result in amounts that differ from the original estimates, needing the carrying amount of certain non-current assets being adjusted.
Recoverability of deferred tax assets
FCA Bank Group had deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences and theoretical tax benefits arising from tax loss carry forwards. The Group has recorded these valuation because it believes it is probable will be recovered. In the definition of this amount, management has taken into consideration figures from budgets and forecasts consistent with those used for impairment testing and discussed in the preceding paragraph relating to the recoverable amount of non-current assets. Moreover, the adjustments that have been recognised are considered to be sufficient to protect against the risk of a further deterioration of the assumptions in these forecasts, taking account of the fact that the net deferred assets accordingly recognised relate to temporary differences and tax losses which, to a significant extent, may be recovered over a very long period, and are therefore consistent with a situation in which the time needed to exit from the crisis and for an economic recovery to occur extends beyond the term implicit in the above-mentioned estimates.
Pension plans and other post-retirement benefits
Employee benefit liabilities with the related assets, costs and net interest expense are measured on an actuarial basis which requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the net liability or net asset. The actuarial method takes into consideration parameters of a financial nature such as the discount rate and the expected long term rate of return on plan assets, the growth rate of salaries and the growth rates of health care costs and the likelihood of potential future events by using demographic assumptions such as mortality rates, dismissal or retirement rates. In particular, the discount rates selected are based on yields curves of high quality corporate bonds in the relevant market. The expected returns on plan assets are determined considering various inputs from a range of advisors concerning long-term capital market returns, inflation, current bond yields and other variables, adjusted for any specific aspects of the asset investment strategy. Salary growth rates reflect the Group’s long-term actual expectation in the reference market and inflation trends. Trends in health care costs are developed on the basis of historical experience, the near-term outlook for costs and likely long-term trends. Changes in any of these assumptions may have an effect on future contributions to the plans.
Contingent liabilities
The Group makes a provision for pending disputes and legal proceedings when it is considered probable that there will be an outflow of funds and when the amount of the losses arising from such can be reasonably estimated. If an outflow of funds becomes possible but the amount cannot be estimated, the matter is disclosed in the notes. The Group is the subject of legal and tax proceedings covering a range of matters which are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the outflow of funds which will result from such disputes with any certainty. Moreover, the cases and claims against the Group often derive from complex and difficult legal issues which are subject to a different degree of uncertainty, including the facts and circumstances of each particular case, the jurisdiction and the different laws involved. In the normal course of business the Group monitors the stage of pending legal procedures and consults with legal counsel and experts on legal and tax matters. It is therefore possible that the provisions for the Group’s legal proceedings and litigation may vary as the result of future developments of the proceedings in progress.
Accounting standards, amendments and IFRS and IFRIC interpretations not yet applicable and not adopted early by the Group
Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations - Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
| |
• | On 6 May 2014 the IASB issued certain amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements regarding accounting for acquisitions of interests in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business. In this case the acquirer is required to apply all of the principles on business combinations, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combination, to recognize the acquisition of a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business. |
The amendments will apply as of 1 January 2016 but early adoption is permitted.
Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38)
| |
• | On 6 May 2014 the IAS issued certain amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets. The amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment provide that the depreciation method based on revenue is not appropriate. The amendment clarifies that the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits of the asset. The amendments to IAS 38 - Intangible Assets introduce a rebuttable presumption that a revenue-based amortization method for intangible assets is inappropriate for the same reasons as in IAS 16 - Property Plant and Equipment. In the case of intangible assets, there are limited circumstances when the presumption can be overcome. |
The amendments will apply as of 1 January 2016 but early adoption is permitted.
IFRS 15 - “Revenues from contracts with customers”
| |
• | On 28 May 2014 the IASB published IFRS 15 - Revenues from contracts with customers. |
IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 18 “Revenues”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts”, and interpretations SIC 31, IFRIC 13 and IFRIC 15.
The new IFRS applies to all contracts with customers - except for those that fall within the scope of IAS 17 - Leasing, insurance contracts and financial instruments - and sets out a process to define the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The company must recognize revenues as the performance obligations are fulfilled. A performance obligation is fulfilled when control over the underlying goods or services (assets) is transferred to the customer. Control is defined as “the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all the residual benefits of the asset”. A performance obligation may be fulfilled at a given time (this occurs typically as a result of commitments to provide goods to the customer) of throughout a specified period of time (generally in case of provision of services to the customer). Application of IFRS 15 will be mandatory as of 1 January 2017; early adoption is permitted. On first-time adoption, comparative information must be provided retrospectively. However, a modified approach can be adopted, whereby it is not necessary to restate the amounts presented in the comparative accounts. In this case the effects deriving from the application of the new standard should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at the date of initial application.
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

• | In July 2014 the IASB published IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. The standard is the first part of a process to be completed in phases which is intended to supersede IAS 39 and introduces new criteria for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and for hedge accounting. In particular, the new standard uses a single approach for financial assets that reflects the way they are managed and their cash flow characteristics to measure them, thereby replacing the different rules provided for by IAS 39. For financial liabilities, instead, the main change occurred concerns the accounting treatment of changes in the fair value of a financial liability through profit or loss, in the event that such change is due to a variation in the creditworthiness of the financial liability. According to the new standard, such changes must be recognized through “Other comprehensive income”, not through profit or loss. |
With reference to hedge accounting, the standard is designed to respond to criticisms to the requirements of IAS 39, which are often considered too strict and unsuited to reflect the risk management policies of entities. The main novelties outlined in the paper regard:
| |
• | changes for the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting; in particular, the risks of non-financial assets/ liabilities eligible for hedge accounting are extended; |
| |
• | the change of the accounting treatment of forward contracts and options, when they are included in a hedging relationship, to reduce earnings volatility; |
| |
• | changes in the effectiveness test via the replacement of the current effectiveness test, based on the 80-125% threshold, with the “economic relationship” between hedged item and hedging instrument. Moreover, an assessment of the retrospective effectiveness of the hedge relationship will no longer be required. |
IFRS 9 will take effect starting 1 January 2018 but early adoption is permitted.
IAS 19 - “Employee Benefits”
| |
• | On 21 November 2013, the IASB published certain minor amendments to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits titled “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions”. These amendments concern the simplification of the accounting treatment of contributions to defined benefit plans by employees or third parties in specific cases. The amendments apply retrospectively for financial years starting 1 July 2014 but early adoption is permitted. |
On 12 December 2013 the IASB issued several amendments to IFRSs (Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2010-2012 Cycle e Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2011-2013 Cycle). The most significant areas addressed by these amendments, among others, include: the definition of vesting condition under IFRS 2 - Share-Based Payments; disclosure of estimates and judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments under IFRS 8 - Operating Segments; the identification and disclosure of a related-party transaction with an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity under IAS 24 - Related Party Disclosure; the exclusion from the scope of IFRS 3 - Business Combinations of all types of joint arrangements (as defined by IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements); and certain clarifications on the exceptions to the application of IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement. The amendments will be applicable as of 1 January 2015.
The Group will adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations on the basis of the required application date and will evaluate their potential impacts.

According to IFRS 13, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). IFRS 7 introduces instead the definition of “fair value hierarchy”. This standard calls for fair value to be determined in accordance with a three-level hierarchy based on the significance of the inputs used in such measurement. The objective is to set the price at which the asset can be sold.
The three levels are as follows:
| |
a) | Level 1 (L1): quoted prices (without adjustments) in an active market - as defined by IAS 39 - for the assets and liabilities to be measured; |
| |
b) | Level 2 (L2): inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) in the market; |
| |
c) | Level 3 (L3): inputs that are not based on observable market data. |
Below, the methods adopted by the Company to determine fair value are illustrated:
Financial instruments classified as (L1), whose fair value is their market price (securities traded in an active market), refer to:
| |
• | Austrian government bonds purchased by the Austrian subsidiary, quoted in regulated markets (Caption: assets held to maturity); |
| |
• | bonds issued by the subsidiaries in Ireland, Poland and Switzerland under, the Euro Medium Term Notes program and listed in regulated markets (Caption: bonds outstanding); |
| |
• | bonds issued in connection with securitisation transactions, placed with the public or with private investors, by different Group entities (Caption: bonds outstanding). |
For listed bonds issued in connection with securitisation transactions, reference to prices quoted by Bloomberg.
Financial assets and liabilities classified as (L2), whose fair value is determined by using inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) in the market, refer to:
| |
• | OTC trading derivatives to hedge securitisation transactions; |
| |
• | OTC derivatives entered into to hedge Group companies’ receivables; |
| |
• | trade receivable portfolio (Caption: Receivables); |
| |
• | ABS notes issued in connection with securitisation transactions, placed with the public or with private investors, by different Group entities. |
Derivatives are measured by discounting their cash flows at the rates plotted on the yield curves provided by Bloomberg. Receivables and payables are measured in the same way.
In accordance with IFRS 13, to determine fair value, the FCA Bank Group considers default risk, which includes changes in the creditworthiness of the entity and its counterparties. In particular:
| |
• | a CVA (Credit Value Adjustment) is a negative amount that takes into account scenarios in which the counterparty fails before the company and the company has a positive exposure to the counterparty. Under these scenarios, the company incurs a loss equal to the replacement value of the derivative; |
| |
• | a DVA (Debt Value Adjustment) is a positive amount that takes into account scenarios in which the company fails before the counterparty and the company has a negative exposure to the counterparty. Under these scenarios, the company obtains a gain for an amount equal to the replacement cost of the derivative. |
At 31 December 2014, the impact of CVAs and DVAs on the fair value of the derivatives on the books was - €250,000 and € 82,000, respectively. Outstanding bonds are measured according to the prices published by Bloomberg. For unlisted bonds reference is made to quoted prices for comparable transactions.
For bonds issued in connection with private securitisation transactions, reference is provided by prime banks active in the market taking as reference equivalent transactions, or made to the nominal value of the bonds or the fair value attributed by the banking counterparty that subscribed to them.
The Group uses measurement methods (mark to model) in line with those generally accepted and used by the market. Valuation models are based on the discount of future cash flows and the estimation of volatility; they are reviewed both when they are developed and from time to time, to ensure that they are fully consistent with the objectives of the valuation.
These methods use inputs based on prices prevailing in recent transactions on the instrument being measured and/or prices/quotations of instruments with similar characteristics in terms of risk profile.

| |
• | € 50,1 million relate to the recognition - by the subsidiary Fidis Servizi Finanziari S.p.A., which merged into the Holding FCA Bank on March 1st, 2008 - of goodwill arising on the transfer of the “Network finance and other financing” business and the acquisition of the “Holding Division” from Fidis S.p.A.; |
| |
• | € 36,8 million relate to the first-time consolidation of certain European companies engaged in dealer financing; |
| |
• | € 15 million relate to the first-time consolidation of the Fidis Servizi Finanziari S.p.A. Group, which was eventually merged into the parent Company. |
The item “Other intangible assets” mainly refers to:
licences and software of the subsidiary Leasys S.p.A. for € 15,7 million and of the parent company, FCA Bank, for € 15,1 million;
royalties for € 1,4 million.
Impairment test of Goodwill
According to IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets, goodwill must be tested for impairment every year to determine its recoverable amount. Therefore, on every reporting date the Group tests goodwill for impairment, estimating the relevant recoverable amount and comparing it with its carrying amount to determine whether the asset is impaired.
Definition of CGUs
To test goodwill for impairment - considering that goodwill generates cash flows only in combination with other assets - it is necessary first of all to attribute it to an organizational unit that enjoys relative operational autonomy and is capable of generating cash flows. Such cash flows must be independent of other areas of activity but interdependent within the organizational unit, which is aptly defined as cash generating unit (CGU).
IAS 36 suggests that it is necessary to correlate the level at which goodwill is tested with the level of internal reporting at which management checks any positive or negative change in goodwill. The definition of this level depends solely on the organizational models and the attribution of management responsibilities over the direction of the operational activity and the relevant monitoring.
For FCA Bank Group, the CGU relevant for goodwill allocation are identified in Dealer Financing business unit and Leasys S.p.A. business.
In assessing the independence of cash inflows, which is necessary to draw the contours of the CGUs, management attributed to Dealer Financing the role of CGU of reference to run the goodwill impairment test, thereby abandoning the definition in place until 31 December 2013, which attributed the CGU role to the companies acquired by the Group over time. This structure turned out to be inadequate for the Group’s organizational and management development.
The CGU’s carrying amount
The carrying amount of a CGU must be determined consistently with the criteria guiding the estimation of its recoverable amount.
From the standpoint of a banking firm, the cash flows generated by a CGU cannot be identified without considering the cash flows of financial assets/liabilities, given that these result the firm’s core business. Following this approach (i.e. "equity valuation"), the carrying amount of the CGU can be determined in terms of free cash flow to consolidated equity, including non-controlling interests.
Criteria to estimate the value in use of a CGU
The value in use of the CGUs was determined by discounting to present value their expected cash flows over a five-year forecast period. The cash flow of the fifth year was assumed to grow in perpetuity (at a rate indicated with the notation "g", to determine terminal value. The growth rate "g" was set on the basis of a consistent medium-term rate of inflation in the euro zone).
From the standpoint of a banking/financial company, the cash flows generated by a CGU cannot be identified without considering the cash flows of financial assets/liabilities, given that these arise from the company’s core business. In other words, the recoverable amount of the CGUs is affected by the above cash flows and, as such, must include also financial assets/liabilities. Accordingly, these assets and liabilities must be allocated to the CGU of reference.
In light of the above, it would be rather fair to say that the cash flows of the individual CGUs are equivalent to the earnings generated by the individual CGUs. Accordingly, it was assumed that the free cash flow (FCF) corresponds to the Net Profit of a CGU under valuation.
Determining the discount rate to calculate the present value of cash flows
In determining value in use, cash flows were discounted to present value at a rate that reflects current considerations on market trends, the time value of money and the risks specific to the business.
The discount rate used - given that it was a financial firm - was estimated solely in terms of equity valuation, that is considering only the cost of capital (Ke), in keeping with the criteria to determine cash flows that, as already shown, include also the inflows and outflows associated with financial assets and liabilities.
The cost of capital was then calculated by using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Based on this model, cost of capital is calculated as the sum of a risk-free return and a risk premium which, in turn, depends on the risk specific to the business (such risk reflecting both industry risk and country risk).
Results of the impairment test
Goodwill was tested for impairment on the reporting date, without any impairment loss.
In particular, for the Dealer Financing line the test was performed by adopting the definition of CGU described above which, as noted, differs from that adopted in the impairment tests used until 31 December 2013. The test was repeated by utilizing the same definition of CGU, without resulting in any impairment loss also in this case.
The underlying assumptions to calculate the recoverable amounts of the CGUs reflect past experience and earnings forecasts approved by the competent corporate bodies and officers and are consistent with external sources of information, particularly:
| |
• | the discount rate of 10.26% was calculated as cost of capital, considering a risk-free interest rate of 0.51%, a risk premium for the company of 7.23% and a beta of 1.35; |
| |
• | the estimated growth rate was 1.8%. |
Sensitivity analysis has been done, by simulating a change in significant parameters such as an increase in the discount rate up to 1% or a decrease in the growth rate "g". After such analysis the recoverable amount is confirmed to be higher than carrying amount.

Provisions for risks and charges related to operating leases
This provision mainly consists of provisions for future maintenance and insurance costs for cars provided under operating lease contracts.
Provisions for tax disputes
This item refers to provisions in connection with tax litigation and related charges.
Provisions for sundry risks
This item reflects provisions of € 51.5 million for risks related, in the UK market, to the remaining value of the vehicles purchased with PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) loans and the customers’ option to terminate voluntarily their contract, under local laws.

As indicated in the report on operations, the decision adopted in October by the German Supreme Court on the administrative expenses charged disability to customers in connection with the disbursement of financing had a significant impact on the profits for 2014. Accordingly, it is noted that the decision entitled customers to apply - by 31 December 2014 - for a refund of such charges from as far back as 2004; in that respect, the decision extended also the statute of limitation from three to ten years. This extension of the statute of limitation expires starting in 2015; it follows that the potential risks for the Group were limited to the charges billed to customers starting in 2012 and for which no refund application has been received. In view of these risks, the Company made provisions for future risks and charges for € 1.4 million.
On 15 July 2014, the Swiss Anti-trust authority (Wettbewerbskommission) announced publicly the start of an inquiry into the finance lease business in Switzerland involving a total of nine captive companies, among others. The Swiss subsidiary, FCA Capital Suisse SA, is one of the companies involved in the inquiry.
In case the Commission determines that a breach of the anti-trust law has been committed, it may levy penalties, in accordance with the applicable laws. These penalties depend on the length, seriousness and nature of the breach. The potential fine may represent as much as 10% of revenues generated in the market of reference for the past three financial years.
Against this backdrop, FCA Capital Suisse SA carried out a review with support from legal experts. The review revealed that fines are unlikely and, as such, no provisions were made.

Section 2 - SECURITISATION TRANSACTIONS AND SALES ON RECEIVABLES
C.1 - Securitisation transactions and sales of receivables
QUALITATIVE INFORMATION
Strategy and processes underpinning receivables securitisation transactions.
The Group companies enter into securitisation transactions and sales of receivables with a view to achieving three objectives:
1) diversification of funding sources: securitisation is an important source of funding for the Group, as an alternative to traditional bank financing;
2) enhancement of the liquidity position: the Group’s ability to securitise receivables represents an important support to the Group’s liquidity position. The excellent performance of the securitisation transactions entered into to date, coupled with the sound reputation of the Group companies operating as “servicers”, allows access to this financial instrument, even in case of uncertainty in the financial markets;
3) optimization of cost of funding: the structuring of securitisation transactions and the quality of the receivable portfolio sold make it possible - thanks also to the highest rating for the portfolio - to access funding at a very attractive cost.
Types of securitisation transaction
There are essentially three different types of securitisation transactions:
| |
(a) | “Warehouse + ABS revolving or amortizing” transactions; |
| |
(b) | “ABS revolving or amortizing” transactions; |
| |
(c) | “Conduit” transactions. |
Securitisation transactions under a) above involve two distinct phases:
Warehousing phase
During this phase, the securitised portfolio is gradually built-up to the pre-established amount-through the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) making a number of successive purchases of receivables over a predetermined time frame.
The SPV finances the purchase of these receivables by issuing series of asset-backed securities in two different classes: the Senior Notes, subscribed in full by banks or Conduit entities which finance the purchase of such Notes by issuing commercial paper, and the Junior Notes, which are subscribed in full by the Originator company or by another company of the Group.
ABS phase (optional)
If this course of action is taken, the ABS phase commences - when the securitised portfolio reaches a level considered appropriate and market conditions are considered favorable - with the issuance and placement of different classes Asset Backed Securities (ABS securities) with European professional investors. ABSs placed in the market can be issued either by the same SPV used during the Warehousing phase of the Programme or by a new SPV, in this case after the transfer of the portfolio upon repayment of the Notes issued during the Warehousing phase.
ABS Notes issued during the ABS phase are assigned a public rating by at least one Rating Agency and are normally listed on a regulated stock exchange.
The ABS Phase can be either “revolving” - where the Originator can assign, from time to time, new receivables in accordance with the restrictions set out by the securitisation contract, for a pre-set period of time, so as to maintain the existing portfolio equal to that at the time of issue - or “amortizing”, with the portfolio declining in size, since the Originator cannot assign additional receivables.
At the end of the revolving period, or since the issuance of the ABSs - in case the ABS phase is amortizing - the amortization of the portfolio will determine the repayment of the issued securities according to the priority of payments contractually determined.
This type of structure was adopted for NIXES THREE, NIXES FOUR (these are currently in the amortizing phase, given that the warehousing phase, which ended in December 2011, was not followed by an ABS phase) and NIXES FIVE and NIXES SIX.
“ABS revolving or amortizing” transactions under b) above are structured in such a way as to perform a single sale of receivables only by the Originator Company to the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) created for the transaction. The SPV then issues several classes of Asset Backed Securities, placing them with European professional investors, and uses the proceeds to purchase the portfolio.
Also in this case, the ABS phase may be either “revolving” or “amortizing”, with effects on the repayment of the ABSs issued as described under a) above.
This structure has been adopted also for the following transactions:
A-BEST FOUR, A- BEST SEVEN, A-BEST EIGHT, A-BEST NINE and A-BEST TEN.
These transactions are structured to allow for the sale of receivables - up to the maximum limit of a programme - to an SPV purchasing the receivables over a pre-determined period of time.
The purchase of these portfolios of receivables is financed by the proceeds of the issue of two different classes of securities: Senior securities subscribed by banks and Conduit entities which, in turn, finance the purchase through the issue of short term securities such as commercial papers, typically with the help of the arranger banks; Senior securities subscribed by the Originator Company or by another company so as to make up the difference between the receivables sold and the maximum amount subscribed by Conduits or banks; and Junior securities subscribed by the Originator Company or by another Group company.
The Originator may, from time to time, sell new receivables that fulfill the terms of the securitisation transaction contract for up to a pre-determined amount, over a period that is typically longer than three years. Unlike the transactions described under a) and b) above, at the end of the revolving period the securities are not placed with investors, thus the portfolio starts amortizing and repayment of the securities issued begins, according to the priority set by contract.
The ERASMUS and FCT FAST 2 securitisations reflect that structure.
Revolving structure
The transactions, if revolving as described above, can also provide, for a limited period of time, for the SPV to purchase additional portfolios containing receivables of the same legal type and business origin and similar risk profile, funding such purchases solely with the collection of the receivables held in the portfolio existing at the time the ABSs were issued and which had been previously assigned by the Originator.
The revolving structure makes it possible to cover the fixed costs of the transaction over a longer period, thus optimizing the cost of the transaction. At the end of the revolving phase, the ABSs issued are repaid according to the repayment profile of the underlying receivables.
Liquidity management (liquidity line)
The Originator may be requested in every transaction, and in manners that can be formally different from one another, to allocate a liquidity line or a cash deposit to support the SPV.
The amount of the line of liquidity is contractually determined and is intended to ensure that the SPV can meet temporary cash shortfalls (typically, at payment dates) that might arise under the payment “waterfall” described below.
“Waterfall” structure
The “waterfall” structure identifies the priorities for the allocation of the cash available within the SPV. Typically, securitisation transactions adopt similar waterfall structures, providing for a pre-defined order of payments on each payment date.
In case of securitisations originated from retail financing receivables, a distinction is generally made between the “Income” (equivalent to the discount rate calculation applied to the sale of the receivables) and “Principal” components of the funds received by the SPV, providing, in essence, for the following categories of payment:
INCOME
(a) SPV expenses (mainly costs relating to Service Providers of the transaction)
(b) Swaps (contracts agreed to hedge the SPV’s interest rate risk)
(c) Payments to the Servicer
(d) Interest on securities
(e) Reinstatement/remuneration of Liquidity line
(f) Provision for overdue receivables
(g) Other payments
PRINCIPAL
(a) Coverage of any payments required but not made under INCOME waterfall as above
(b) Purchase of receivables (during revolving period)
(c) Repayment of securities issued (at end of any revolving period)
(d) Other payments
In the case of securitisations originated from dealer financing receivables, due to the different features of the portfolio, the SPV usually manages the following inflows:
(a) Current account balances
(b) Release of funds from the Cash Reserve structure
(c) Collection of receivables
(d) Issuance of new Senior Notes
(e) Issuance of new Junior Notes
to make the following payments:
(a) SPV expenses
(b) Interests on the Senior Notes
(c) Provision to Cash Reserve
(d) Purchase of receivables (during revolving period)
(e) Repayment of Senior Notes (if any)
(f) Interests on Junior Notes
(g) Repayment of Junior Notes (if any)
Servicing activity
Within the FCA Bank Group, the Originator acts always as the Servicer in securitisation transactions. In addition, FCA Bank acts as Coordinator in the ERASMUS transaction and as Performance Guarantor in the ERASMUS, NIXES FIVE, NIXES SIX and A-BEST EIGHT transactions.
The role of Servicer requires compliance with a series of qualitative standards regarding proper management of the assets backing the securities issued by the SPV, and an appropriate organizational structure in terms of operations and skills.
The Servicer’s operational responsibilities include:
a) handling contracts in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policies and applicable laws and regulations, in agreement with the SPV and with the Trustee / Representative of Noteholders of the transactions. The Servicer is also required to inform the Rating Agencies of any relevant event;
b) recording collections of installments and recoveries, transferring the amounts to the SPV. The collected amounts are transferred by the Servicer of each transaction to the SPV with the frequency applicable under each transaction (normally daily) and the amounts collected are held in interest bearing current accounts until the first available payment date, when they are used to make payments in accordance with the waterfall, or alternatively, in case of transactions in the Warehousing or ABS Revolving phases, until they are used to purchase additional receivables;
c) monitoring, reporting and control of the transaction (the Paying Agent/Calculation Agent/Agent Bank activities are assigned to an independent bank).
The SPV pays a servicing fee to the Servicer, at arm’s length.
Rating Agencies
The securitisation transactions have been structured in such a way as to obtain, in case of public placements, the highest rating for the senior bonds issued by the SPV. For public transactions (ABSs), the Group has obtained ratings of ABS securities (Senior and Mezzanine, except for Junior), from at least one of the four major rating agencies (Standard&Poor’s, Moodys’ Investor Service, DBRS and Fitch Ratings).
In private placements, instead, senior bonds may or may not have a rating (if they do, the rating is private), depending on the subscriber’s requirements.
Junior securities have no rating.
Performance of securitisation transactions
The securitised portfolios have performed extremely well as shown by the reports produced by the Servicer and in the quarterly reports prepared by the Cash Manager/Agent Bank for the Investors (in the case of public operations).
This is also highlighted in some cases by the positive review (upgrade) of the rating assigned by the Rating Agencies to the securities.
Following the downgrading of the sovereign rating assigned by the agencies to the bonds issued by the Republic of Italy, and as a result of the application of internal methodologies at the rating agencies, recently the rating of senior bonds issued by the Group in transactions backed by receivable originated in Italy were revised negatively by some agencies.
All the Group’s securitised receivables portfolios have performed well within the parameters laid down for each transaction. The portfolio has never failed to respect the “trigger events” used to monitor them.
“Trigger events” related to the portfolio are monitored, in the retail financing transactions, at each new receivables sale date during the Warehousing and Revolving phases. Monitoring does not take place in the event of “amortizing” transactions as, given its “static” nature, the portfolio is not subject to changes due to revolving sales but only to the initial assessment by the Rating Agencies. Therefore, performance measurement is for information purposes only.
The portfolio performance is monitored on a quarterly basis.
Similarly, the triggers and the portfolio performance in transactions originated by dealer financing receivables are monitored on a monthly basis. The receivables sold show a regular performance.
QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION
The tables attached herewith contain summary information relating to the main securitisation transactions originated by the FCA Bank Group and in place at 31 December 2014.
The following transactions, originated by Group Companies, have been terminated during this or the previous financial years, through the Originator’s exercise of the clean-up option at the end of amortization phase. The clean-up option is contractually defined in the transaction documents in order to allow the Originator to decide whether or not to repurchase the residual portfolio, when such portfolio falls to a minimum pre-defined level.

Section 3 - INFORMATION ON RISKS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
3.1 CREDIT RISK
QUALITATIVE INFORMATION
1 General information
The Group’s commercial activities unfold along the following activities:
| |
• | factoring and Financing activities with the FCA Group and JLR dealer networks; |
| |
• | loans to finance the purchase of automobiles and commercial vehicles - retail car loans repayable in fixed installments or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) loans repayable with a bullet payment; |
| |
• | finance lease transactions to finance purchases of automobiles and commercial vehicles; |
| |
• | other residual forms of finance, including personal loans for a specific purpose or otherwise; |
| |
• | long term rental activities with professionals and businesses. |
The main credit risk factors are as follows:
| |
• | customer selection and approval; |
| |
• | credit collection activities; |
Customer selection and approval
In the dealer financing business, on a yearly basis, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover dealers are given an individual credit limit (plafond) for the financing of new and used vehicles inventory.
The extent of the potential risk is determined at the approval stage as the difference between the amount of the line of credit granted and the bank and insurance guarantees provided (which are related to the assigned ratings).
The credit quality is measured using a rating model that classifies the dealer’s financial strength and financial and performance ratios taken from audited financial statements and the actions of the dealer (payment punctuality, stock audits, reports to the central credit register); each dealer is given a score based on this process.
Finally, the concentration of risk on the various business Groups is measured.
In the retail financing sector, loan applications undergo an advanced assessment process that uses “Credit Scoring systems” for around 90% of applications. The systems vary for each market and for each product and guarantee a high level of automation and an objective approach to the entire approval process.
A total of 30 score cards are currently in use in all the Groups. They are constantly monitored to check their effectiveness in identifying possible bad payers. According to the monitoring activity results, scoring grids are steadily renewed.
In the Long Term Rental sector, during the approval process, the client’s ability to pay is assessed the basis of information obtained from internal and external databases and on specific assessments in the case of companies or groups. In some cases, approval of the customer may be subject to the issue of various types of specific guarantees. Repayments made by customers are monitored constantly and, in the event of default, the Credit Recovery Department is immediately involved.
Credit collection activities
In the dealer finance business, the credit collection procedures are essentially activated through termination of the dealership agreement and notification of the end of the relationship with implementation of reserves of title and subsequent repossession of the vehicles.
The indicators used to measure credit risk exposure are stock rotation, aging of overdue balances, concentration of risk by business group, utilization of linen of credit and stock audit results.
In the retail finance sector, the Group companies perform credit collection activities through a process organized into three broad areas of collection.
The first area involves making phone calls to establish an initial contract with the customer to ascertain the reasons for non-payment and ask for payment of the debt. The action resulting from the telephone collection process depends on the nature and amount of the default.
The second area - in turn divided into several phases of collection based on the age of the overdue receivables - involves extra-judicial collection activities, essentially using external credit collection companies, as coordinated by Group personnel.
The third area is represented by legal action. The Group companies follow different credit collection strategies and a different mix of credit collection methods depending on the situation they operate in.
The process to make collection measures more effective and more efficient is a constant one, performed by the Group companies and coordinated and directed by the parent company.
Monitoring of risk
Dealer financing
The Group companies analyze exposures arising from financing on the basis of each counterpart credit quality. The monitoring activity is monthly renewed, according to the outcomes of Credit Committee.
Monitoring is done centrally with the followings reports:
| |
• | credit reclassification; |
| |
• | watch List e Work out list. |
Retail and long term sector
All the Group companies monitor their exposure to risk relating to financing granted by measuring overdue balances by group of past due loans and credit quality. The exposure is monitored by determining movements on loans by group of past due loans between two different dates.
Monitoring is done centrally with the followings reports:
| |
• | international Risk Reporting; |
| |
• | quarterly reports on exposures higher than €/k 150. |
2 Credit risk policies management
2.1 Organizational structure and management, measuring and monitoring systems
Credit risk management is organized on the basis of a common model for the three lines of business.
The modus operandi approved by FCA Bank S.p.A.’s Board of Directors has been adopted by headquarters and the individual markets.
A Credit Committee will be set up in every Market for the three lines of business (Dealer Financing, Retail and Rental), made up as follows:
| |
• | credit department for the business line; |
| |
• | administration, Finance and Control department; |
The local Credit Committee, in the case of credit applications for amounts exceeding their limits, will send the relevant application packages with the necessary remarks and signatures to the Headquarter Internal Credit Committee, which is the next higher level for the review and credit decision, indicating the applicant’s business, credit and profitability aspects.
This Committee, within the limits of the powers assigned to it, adopts a decision on the transaction, notifying the market concerned.
If the exposure to the transaction falls within the preview of the Credit Committee or the Board of Directors, as the relevant amount exceeds Headquarter Internal Credit Committee’s limit, the latter will submit the application package with its views to the next higher level.
In case the customer is part of an international group the application has to be sent to the central level, regardless of the application amount. This step ensures the Group’s awareness of risk concentration toward the same business group.
2.2 Credit risk mitigation methods
Dealer Financing
The dealers undergo a credit analysis process. The process uses computer procedures that can assess the following for each dealer:
When credit is granted, the following are also analysed:
| |
• | the quality of the guarantees provided; |
| |
• | information on general conduct (results of stock audit, dishonored payments, past due invoices). |
The dealer’s operating and financial situations are monitored on a continuous basis.
The guarantees currently accepted for Network/Dealer Finance activities are as follows:
| |
• | guarantees in the form of a lien on the vehicle (in certain countries); |
| |
• | secured, bank and insurance guarantees; |
| |
• | guarantee deposits from dealers. |
Retail financing and other financing types
Applications for loans are assessed - through an acceptance process - based on the ability of the customer to fulfil the commitments it intends to take on.
The guarantees currently accepted by the Group in the retail finance sector and other financing types include the following (they depend on the individual business):
| |
• | guarantee in the form of a lien on the vehicle (in certain countries). |
Portfolio assessment based on “VAL FONDI” system
The group method of monitoring exposure to credit risk is based on changes in loans by group of past due amounts between two given dates (Probability of Default) and the quantification of the final loss for each contract (Loss on Default).
This system, known internally as “VAL FONDI”, makes it possible to determine the Probability of Default (PdP), i.e. the probability, over a given period of time, that the contracts included in the portfolio will be included in the group of loans past due for over 240 days, the default band. It also estimates the Loss on Default (AdP) i.e. the possible loss obtained as the ratio between historical losses incurred and the initial sum of the contract installments.
The “VAL FONDI” System performs a detailed analysis of loans by group of past due amounts. Any provision is allocated on a proportionate basis to all loans in the same group of past due amounts.
The aging summary makes it possible to analyse and control credit risk by age of the past due amounts.
FCA Bank also makes an individual adjustment on loans that have not the same features of total portfolio (for examples, receivables exceeding a threshold, restructured loans, past due, etc.).
Long Term Rental
The Long Term Rental business is subject to the remarketing risk i.e. the risk that the market value of the rented asset is less than its book value at the end of the rental contract.
The Company monitors this risk as follows:
| |
• | every quarter, the residual value committee determines, for each model, the residual value for use in determining the price of new long term rental contracts. It does so by using local benchmarks of the used car market and historical performance data; |
| |
• | a specific procedure is followed in order to identify any variances for fleet vehicles between market value and residual value as calculated during the acquisition phase of fleet vehicles; any differences are covered by creating provisions. |
2.3 Non-performing loans
The criteria used to classify the credit risk associated with the deteriorated positions, the policies to write off deteriorated assets and write-off policies in general are in keeping with the Regulator’s guidelines.
2.4 Retail Financing information
The retail business is mainly designed to finance the purchase of vehicles of the FCA Group.
Nevertheless, JLR Portfolio at fiscal year-end accounted for 18% of the retail business, rose on the previous year, showing a significant footprint especially in the UK and German markets.
Limited financing was provided also in connection with application originated from channels other than captive: this activity is referred to as non-captive.
The Group’s retail receivable portfolio features a high granularity.
The exposures towards individual customers or groups are managed at individual operating company level. Each operating company handles the approval of loans in accordance with the regulations and limits described in the Group Credit Policies, pinpointing the overall risk profile.
Attention is called to the following:
| |
• | the growing use of longer maturities, a trend under way throughout the credit market; |
| |
• | the progressive increase of the average tickets financed, due to the growing JLR portfolio. |

3.2 MARKET RISK
3.2.1 CHANGE/INTEREST RATE RISK
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
1. General Description
The Group’s financial strategy aims at:
| |
• | maintaining a stable and diversified funding structure; |
| |
• | managing liquidity risk; |
| |
• | minimizing exposure to interest rate, currency and counterparty risk. |
The Treasury department ensures that liquidity and all other financial risks are correctly managed at Group level, in accordance with the Risk Management Policies approved by the Board of Directors, managing and/or coordinating all funding and operating activities for all of the Group’s companies.
In 2014 the Group continued to pursue the goal to fund maturing assets in every time interval; in addition, the Group can rely on the availability of financing by the banking shareholder, Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance, to meet its borrowing requirements, so as to manage any liquidity risk.
Under the interest risk management policies in place, which are designed to protect consolidated interest spreads against the impact of changes in interest rates, the liability maturities (as determined on the basis of the reset dates for interest rates) are matched to asset maturities.
The interest risk exposure is calculated using the following methods:
| |
• | Reset Gap Analysis: this method is aimed at identifying the gap between assets and liabilities with reset dates in the same time period - three months in year one and six months in later years; |
| |
• | Duration Analysis: the objective of this method is to identify the difference between the durations of assets and liabilities by reset date. |
Maturity matching is achieved through the use of more liquid derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements (Group risk management policies call specifically for the use of plain vanilla products).
The interest rate risk hedging strategy pursued during the year delivered a substantially fully hedged position thus neutralizing the potential impact of interest rates volatility.
In terms of exchange rate risk, it is Group policy not to hold any position in foreign currency. Accordingly, portfolios in currencies other than Euro are match-funded by currency. In some cases, the necessary funding is arranged synthetically through the use of foreign exchange swaps or a combination of interest rate and currency swaps (Group risk management policies allow the use of foreign exchange transactions solely for hedging purposes).
Counterparty risk is minimized, in accordance with the criteria set by Group risk management policies, through the selection of prime banking counterparties with a high credit rating, the use of short-term investment products and, in relation to derivative products, the use of standardized contracts (ISDA).

3.3 OPERATIONAL RISKS
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
1. General Description
FCA Bank Group has an organizational structure for the control of the operational risks in line with the Basel II principles.
This organization is based on:
| |
• | the creation of an independent function of Operational Risk Management (currently inserted in the RPC structure); |
| |
• | the identification, collection and measurement of the main events of operating loss (with the storage of the necessary information in a common data base to monitor periodic trends); |
| |
• | the set-up of a management reporting system to support corrective actions and prevention; |
| |
• | the periodic check of the operational risk management (ORM) process by Internal Audit. |
The activities carried on by FCA Bank S.p.A. is inspired by the following guidelines:
| |
• | classification of the operational loss events under control based on the tables set out by Basel II as adapted to FCA Bank’s business; |
| |
• | role description and adoption of IT tools that make up the ORM’s framework; |
| |
• | loss data Collection LDC. |
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATIONAL RISK EVENTS
The classification of operational risk events has been adapted over the years to FCA Bank’s business requirements.
It focuses on the monitoring and analysis of the following risk categories:
| |
• | theft and fraud (internal and external); |
| |
• | employment practices and workplace safety; |
| |
• | customers, products and business practices; |
| |
• | damage to physical assets; |
| |
• | business disruption and system failure; |
| |
• | execution, delivery and process management. |
The Group as a whole pays special attention to risk issues:
EXTERNAL FRAUDS: in connection with loan applications, frauds are perpetrated mainly through the submission of false or altered documentation. Therefore, the group launched in 2008 a specific training initiative on this item for all employees called “KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER”.
PRIVACY PROTECTION: in managing customers’ personal data in relation to:
| |
• | the necessary credit checks; |
| |
• | the storage of customer data; |
| |
• | promotion and marketing activities. |
Special attention is paid, in this area, to training (periodically upgraded) of all the group staff in line with the requirements of the Data Protection Code.
PROTECTION OF THE COMPANY’S PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: carried out through the writing of internal procedures and technical instruments that the company and all partners must adopt in order to guarantee the effectiveness of the actions of protection of corporate proprietary data, with special attention to personal data.
RISKS RELATED TO NEW REGULATIONS FOR THE INDUSTRY: this item has been addressed by FCA Bank through the introduction of periodic monitoring, with the involvement of all the business areas and the coordination of the R&PC and Internal Audit.
LEGAL DISPUTES: the constant monitoring of this risk makes it possible to address problems before they become critical.
3. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The roles and responsibilities of the functions within the Parent Company and FCA Bank involved in the management of operational risks can be summarized as follows:
Operational Risk Committee (Parent Company): this body meets during the internal control meeting on a quarterly basis, providing guidelines and policies to manage operational risk at group level. It coordinates and approves the action plans set out by each legal entity of the group, to mitigate and prevent the identified risks, monitoring the relevant progress.
Operational Risk Management (Parent Company): this function is part of the R&PC. It defines and upgrades the overall operational risk management Framework at the Group level, providing support to local risk managers as they implement the Operational risk management model, ensuring the appropriate progress reports to the Parent Company’s management.
Local Operational Risk Committee: with the new R&PC structure it is one of the responsibilities taken on by the R&PC contact person for each market. Concerning Operational Risk Management issues, this Manager implements the Framework in the company, defining and applying risk measurement and Loss Data Collection (LDC) methodologies.
Moreover, this Manager submits the LDC measurements to central Risk Management and identifies the actions to mitigate risk by getting the local management involved.
The Manager is supported by a number of contacts within the individual operational areas. These figures are responsible for identifying and reporting, in agreement with their superiors, operational loss events occurred in the period and any changes in the processes under their responsibility, analysing any possible risk associated with them.
As a support to the Operational Risk Management framework, FCA Bank has developed software to collect, analyse and report operational loss data. This procedure consists of two modules to map the risks in the different corporate processes and the collection of operational loss data.
The database so created makes it possible to prepare loss reports by individual company, company area and type of event.
4. LOSS DATA COLLECTION
The Loss Data Collection process in FCA Bank is essentially intended to:
| |
• | be compliant with BASEL II; |
| |
• | define and comply with a set of standards and principles to support a uniform map of corporate processes; |
| |
• | define standards for the observation, measurement and mitigation of operational risks; |
| |
• | decentralize operational risk management, resulting in more effective preventive actions; |
| |
• | promote an operational risk culture, so as to improve processes by completing the analysis phases with a more focused approach on risk issues. |
5. BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
In order to reduce risks for the operative continuity, during the year FCA Bank has carried on activies with the scope of checking and maintaning the continuity plan.
Thus there has been the update of related procedures and the check operative standards to manage events compromising the business continuity and fulfilling tests focused on the protection of the business and of the effectiveness of the Plan elements.
The FCA Bank BCP has been developed in compliance with Vigilanza bullettin 7/2004 defining Bank mandatory requirements for the operative continuity, detailing crisis scenarios have to be taken in consideration, the essential contents of the Continuity Plan and deciding modality and frequency in updating and checking it.
3.4 LIQUIDITY RISK
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
1. General Description, liquidity policies management, measuring and monitoring systems.
The Company’s liquidity risk is associated with its inability to meet its financial obligations as they come due.
Specifically, this risk would materialize if the Company were unable to renew/extend/refinance at maturity - in whole or in part for every future date on the horizon considered - parts of its funding profile (in its more or less structured forms).
To facilitate the proper identification and management of liquidity risk, it is worthy of note that:
| |
• | the Holding is responsible for the Group’s cash management, as its Treasury department coordinates the borrowing requirements of all its subsidiaries. Moreover, all structured finance transactions are centrally managed; |
| |
• | the Company is the only Group entity with a credit rating assigned by Fitch Ratings, Moody’s e Standard&Poor’s. In this sense, all bank accounts and lines of credit are managed centrally; |
| |
• | all the Group companies refer to the Holding to meet their financing requirements through the selection of the most appropriate funding instruments. |
In essence, treasury management takes place at Group level.
The Group manages this risk by matching its liabilities with its assets, by amount and maturity.
This approach, which relies also on the approval and availability of significant lines of credit (including from the banking shareholder Crédit Agricole), allows the Company and its subsidiaries to minimize their exposure to liquidity risk.
In addition, liquidity is measured monthly by currency (Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Danish krone and Polish zloty).
The model to manage liquidity risk, rests on a number of key pillars, such as:
| |
• | management of cash flow from operating activities and structural liquidity, also throughout a financial planning reviewed and updated; |
| |
• | constant monitoring of cash inflows/outflows and adoption of metrics to measure and control exposure to liquidity risk (maturity mismatch approach); |
| |
• | setting of supervisory limits to risk exposure; |
| |
• | stress tests to evaluate risk exposure and set under stress situations; |
| |
• | preparation of the Contingency Funding Plan, which is designed to define roles and responsibilities, actions to be taken and the identification of risk-mitigation instruments to be adopted in the event of a sudden liquidity crisis signalled by early warning indicators (EWI). |
Based on the measurement carried out on the reporting date (December 31, 2014), it is confirmed that the actions taken by central treasury, thanks also to the significant lines of credit available (mainly related to the arrangements with the banking shareholder to meet the Group’s borrowing requirements and the presence of revolving securitisation programs that can still be used to carry out additional receivable assignments), were effective in managing liquidity risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders
of FCA Bank S.p.A. (formerly FGA Capital S.p.A.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of FCA Bank S.p.A. and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of FCA Bank S.p.A. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Other Matter
The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of FCA Bank S.p.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, were not audited, reviewed or compiled by us and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
