Note 14 Financial instruments at fair value

Methods in order to determine fair value

General
The interest rate curve that is used as input for fair value valuations of hedging instruments and hedging objects consists of the NIBOR-curve for maturities less than one year. The swap-curve is used for maturities exceeding one year.

Interest rate swaps
Valuation of interest rate swaps at fair value is done through discounting future cash flows to their present values.  Valuation of currency swaps will also include the element of foreign exchange rates

Bonds 
Valuation of bonds at fair value is done through discounting future cash flows to present value.

With effect from 2009 SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS has implemented the changes in IFRS 7 in relation to the valuation of financial instruments as of the date of the financial accounts. The changes require a presentation of the fair value measurement for each Level.  We have the following three Levels for the fair value measurement:

Level 1: Valuation based on quoted prices in an active market

Fair value of financial instruments which are traded in active markets are based on the market price at the balance sheet date. A market is considered to be active if the market prices are easily and readily available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulating authority and that these prices represent actual and regular market transactions on an arm's length basis. In this category are, amongst others, debt certificates and covered bonds listed on an exchange in the Eurozone and the US.

Level 2: Valuation based on observable factors

Level 2 consist of instruments which are valued using information which is not listed prices, but where the prices are directky or indirectly observable for assets or liabilities or, and which also include prices in active markets. In this category are included covered bonds issued in NOK and listed on the Oslo stock exchange or ABM.  The valuation of these instruments are largely affected by the change in interest rate curves and credit spreads.  Where prices are not directly observable these have been derived from observable interest rate curves and credit spreads produced by the Association of Fund Managers (VFF).

Level 3: Valuation based on other than observable factors

If valuations according to Level 1 or Level 2 are not available, valuations are based on not-observable information.  The Company has as a matter of principle neither assets nor liabilities which are valued at this level.

Note 17 Asset coverage requirement

 

The asset coverage is calculated according to the Financial Services Act § 2-31 (Covered Bond Legislation). There is a discrepancy between the asset coverage test and the amounts in the balance sheet because for the purposes of the test mortgage loans which may have migrated above the 75% loan to value level are reduced to reflect the decrease in the value of the underlying collateral so that only a maximum loan corresponding to a value of 75% of the collateral is considered.  Furthermore, the fact that market values are recorded for all bonds and certificates in the cover pool could have an impact.  In addition any defaulted loans, i.e. loans in arrears at or beyond 90 days, are excluded from the test (there have been no occurances of any defaults since commencement of operations).  The company separates Cover Pool 1 and Cover Pool 2.  Cover Pool 1 is utilised for market issuances of covered bonds whilst Cover Pool 2 is a separate mortgage portfolio established solely for use in the swap facility with Norway's Central Bank in 2009.

Note 18 Capital adequacy

 

The primary goal for the Company's management of capital reserves is to ensure compliance with laws and regulatory requirements and maintain solid financial ratios and a high quality credit assessment in order to best support its business.

A new capital requirements directive was introduced in Norway as of January 1, 2007 (Basel II). SpareBank1 Boligkreditt AS obtained permission from the Financial Services Authority in Norway (Finanstilsynet) for the implementation of its own Internal Ratings Based (IRB) model for credit risks from the seond quarter of 2009.  The Company's parent banks have committed themselves to pay in additional capital (Shareholders Agreement) if the Company's capital declines below 9% (Core Tier 1), primarily pro-rata according to individual ownership shares, then collectively (joint and several) up to twice the original pro-rata amount for each parent bank. 

Transitional rules have been implemented by the FSA whereby regulated financial institutions with approved IRB models will not be able to fully benefit from the results of such models until the year 2018. Regulated entities are allowed to reduce by 20% the total sum of risk weighted assets which would otherwise have been in place under the previous Basel I framework.  In the following years until the end of 2017, the transitional rules will lead to significantly higher capital requirements than what would otherwise have been applicable under Basel II.

The European Union has approved new regulatory requirements, CRD IV.  The new regulations places more robust requirements on capital adequacy, capital structure, liquidity buffers and funding.  CRD IV is gradually introduced in Norway up until the end of 2016. The requirement of 13.5% total capital from July 1, 2014 includes a 10% Core Tier 1 capital and 3.5% other capital.  A new calculation for capital adequacy (CRD IV) is introduced for SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt from the 3rd quarter 2014. 

The parent banks have committed themselves to pay in additional capital if the Company's Core Tier 1 capital should decline below 9%.  Individual bank additional amounts are determined by the pro rata ownership shares, and if not sufficient, the banks are required to pay in an amount up to twice the pro-rata based individual amounts.
