We have conducted our audit in accordance with the regulatory standards of the audit practice in force Spain. These regulations require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the Annual Accounts are free of substantial misstatements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Annual Accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's opinion, including the assessment of the risks of substantial inaccuracy in the Annual Accounts due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control that is relevant to the formulation by the entity of the Annual Accounts, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in terms of the circumstances, and not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the entity. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies applied and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Annual Accounts taken as a whole. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained provides a sufficient and adequate basis for our audit opinion. 3

16 1 BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. NAME OF THE COMPANY, LEGAL FORM, AND ADDRESS OF COMPANY HEADQUARTERS Ahorro Corporación Financiera, S.V., S.A.U. was established for an indefinite period of time via a public deed dated July 7, The Company is registered with the Securities Company Register of the National Securities Market Commission (hereinafter, C.N.M.V.) under number 24, and it undertakes its business activities through its offices open in Madrid and Barcelona.

This agreement was put on record in a public document on February 28, The company headquarters is in Madrid, Paseo de la Castellana, 89, and the purpose of the company is as follows: Investment Services under the conditions described in article 140 of Royal Legislative Decree 4/2015, which approved the Consolidated Text of the Securities Market Law (LMV): a) Reception and transmission of clients' orders in relationship with one or more financial instruments. b) Execution of said orders on clients' behalf. c) Dealing on own account. d) Discretionary and individualized management of investment portfolios in accordance with the instructions provided by clients. e) Placing of financial instruments, with or without a firm commitment basis. f) Underwriting of issues or placing of financial instruments. g) Investment advising.

17 f) Currency exchange services, provided these are related with the provision of investment services. During the 2015 fiscal period, the Company was substituted as a party into several sales agreements held by Ahorro Corporación Gestión, S.G.I.I.C., S.A. with other foreign management firms. As of December 31, 2016, the Company sells the foreign Collective Investment Schemes listed in Annex I. The undertaking of the aforementioned business activities shall be conditioned to an explicit statement before the C.N.M.V. pertaining to the Company's will to undertake each one of said business activities, including the general or limited scope that is desired for each case. For said purposes, the Company did formulate the corresponding statement of business activities. The Company, along with the following entities, is part of a consolidated group of financial entities as described in Royal Decree 1332/2005, of November 11, which regulates Law 5/2005 of April 22 on the supervision of financial conglomerates: Ahorro Corporación S.A. (Parent company of the Group) ACF International Inc. Vehículo de Tenencia y Gestión 3, S.L.U. Ahorro Corporación, S.A. has been designated by the National Securities Market Commission as an entity which is obliged to formulate, separately, the consolidated annual accounts for the Ahorro Corporación Group, which are, in turn, subject to independent audit COMPANY SALE PROCESS As of November 8, 2016, the Board of Directors of the sole shareholder, Ahorro Corporación, S.A., agreed to accept an offer made to purchase all the shares representing the Company's capital stock, said offer being made by the British group StormHarbour Partners. The sale of these shares likewise implied the sale of the American subsidiary, ACF International Inc. -- a wholly-owned Company subsidiary. On that same date, the sole shareholder and the purchaser of the Company signed a private sale agreement, which was complemented with the Addendum thereto dated February 16, 2017 (see note 23). In accordance with the conditions of the Agreement and its subsequent Addendum, it has been established that the effective sale of the shares of Ahorro Corporación Financiera, S.V., S.A.U. is subject to compliance with two conditions precedent: Approval of said sale transaction by the General Assembly of Shareholders of the sole shareholder. Said approval was granted unanimously in the meeting of the sole shareholder's General Assembly of Shareholders held on November 15, No express or tacit objection to this transmission by the National Securities Market Commission (C.N.M.V.). To this end, it must be indicated that neither on December 31, 2016 nor on the date that these annual accounts were drafted has the C.N.M.V. made any type of comment on the matter and, as a result, the sale cannot be considered effective. 11

18 Likewise, aiming to facilitate said sale, on November 8, 2016, the Company and its sole shareholder, Ahorro Corporación, S.A., signed a Contribution Agreement under which the sole shareholder committed to providing the Company, as of December 31, 2016, with a series of assets that had been property of the sole shareholder until that time and that are necessary for the Company's independent, autonomous functioning, without the need to turn to the auxiliary services provided by the AC Group or, if applicable, by other external providers in the form of outsourced services. In accordance with the conditions of said Contribution Agreement, as of December 31, 2016, the sole shareholder effectively provided the Company with the following assets, which were included on the balance sheet as of said date: The so-called Corporate Services Unit, made up of the assets, the labor relationships held with the employees, and the associated labor liabilities. More specifically, the following has been provided: - Different types of tangible assets, amongst which the central computer is noteworthy (see Note 12.1). - A total of 38 employees (of the 41 that made up the sole shareholder's staff as of the date of contribution) were transferred to the Company, which, in turn, assumed the occupational conditions and commitments that the sole shareholder had with said employees. - Certain labor liabilities of the sole shareholder covered by the Restructuring Provision (see Note 17). - Other assets and liabilities of lesser importance. The net value of the assets provided and listed on the balance sheet of the sole shareholder as of the effective date of provision came to 2,058,000 euros; for accounting purposes, this provision has been reflected by adding the contributed assets to the Company balance sheet for the aforementioned net value, with the "Shareholder Contribution" item of the Total Equity being the balancing entry, given that this contribution has not involved any type of payment by the Company. Additionally, several intangible assets associated with brands and internet domains which were also the property of the sole shareholder have likewise been provided to the Company. These intangible assets were not listed on the sole shareholder's balance sheet as they were internally generated and, consequently, they also have not been listed on the Company's balance sheet. Nevertheless, for the purposes of the "Contribution Agreement," these assets were assessed by an independent expert and said assessment came to 2,839,000 euros. Considering that the sale was not complete as of December 31, 2016, nor was it complete as of the date that these annual accounts were drafted, the Company --for accounting, tax, regulatory, etc. purposes-- is still part of the Ahorro Corporación Group DRAFTING OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS The annual accounts for the 2016 period, which were prepared by the Board of Directors during a meeting dated March 28, 2017, are pending approval from the Company's General Assembly of Shareholders. Nevertheless, the Administrators believe that said annual accounts will be approved without modifications. The annual accounts from the 2015 period were approved by the Company's General Assembly of Shareholders which was held on April 27, Said accounts were drafted in accordance with the provisions in Circular 7/2008, of November 26, of the C.N.M.V. 12

19 1.4. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS The business activities undertaken by the Company are regulated by Royal Legislative Decree 4/2015, of October 23, which approved the Consolidated Text of the Securities Market Law. The Company is subject to compliance with a solvency ratio (see Note 5) and to maintain a minimum level of liquid assets, set in accordance with the clients' balances (see Note 6.4). As of June 26, 2013, the European Parliament and the Council published Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms. This Regulation is obligatory for Member States and of application as of January 1, BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2.1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL ACCOUNTS The annual accounts of the Company are presented in accordance with the criteria and practices established in Circular 7/2008, dated November 26, drafted by the C.N.M.V., on accounting regulations, annual accounts, and statements of sensitive information from investment firms (hereinafter, Circular 7/2008). The accounts have been presented to show a true and fair view of the Company's equity and financial situation as of December 31 of 2016, while likewise showing a true and fair view of profits or losses from the Company's operations and of changes in total equity and in cash flows during the annual fiscal period ending on the aforementioned date. The aforementioned annual accounts have been prepared based upon the Company's accounting records. Circular 7/2008's aim is to modify the accounting scheme of the entities to which it applies, adapting said scheme to the new accounting framework established in the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, of November 16. Thus, accounting rules and criteria are established which, while being framed within the principles and guidelines of the new General Accounting Plan, adapt said General Accounting Plan to the specific characteristics inherent to investment firms, collective investment scheme management companies, and venture capital management companies. This allows for adequate, effective supervision of the aforementioned entities, guaranteeing the protection of investors. While drafting these annual accounts, we have followed the accounting principles and guidelines, as well as the assessment criteria, listed in Circular 7/2008, all of which is summarized in Note 3. There are no obligatory accounting principles or assessment criteria that significantly affect the annual accounts and have been left out. Changes in accounting criteria --whether they be because regulations are changed or because the Administrators decide to change the criteria for application retroactively-- require adjusting the amounts of the affected line items by using as a balancing entry the corresponding total equity item in the oldest opening balance sheet about which comparative information is published, as if the new accounting criteria had always been of application. Retroactive application of the new criteria is not undertaken if it is impractical to do so or if the regulatory provision modifying said criteria sets the date from which it should be of application. If errors from prior fiscal periods are detected as a result of omissions, inaccuracies, or mistakes when using the information available during said fiscal periods, these errors shall be corrected by applying the same guidelines mentioned previously for when a change in the applied accounting criteria occurs. The figures included in these annual accounts are in euros, unless otherwise noted. 13

20 2.2. USE OF JUDGMENT AND ESTIMATIONS IN THE DRAFTING OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS When preparing the Company's annual accounts, the Administrators have had to assess values, undertake estimations, and make assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the asset, liability, income, and expense figures, likewise affecting the breakdown of contingent liabilities which were in existence on the date these annual accounts were issued. Value judgments, estimations, and assumptions made are based on prior experience and other various factors which are understood to be reasonable for the circumstances. The results of said judgments, estimations, and assumptions make up the basis for establishing the carrying amount for assets and liabilities whose values are not easily accessible via other means. Estimations and assumptions are reviewed continuously. Nevertheless, the inherent uncertainty of estimations and assumptions could bring about significant adjustments in the future to the values for the affected assets and liabilities. The most significant value judgments and estimates used for the preparation of these annual accounts make reference to: Estimation of the degree of recoverability of doubtful accounts (Notes 3.i and 6.2) Assessment of financial instruments (Notes 3.h.4 and 6.1) Recovery of deferred tax assets (Note 20) 2.3. COMPARISON OF INFORMATION In accordance with commercial code, the Company Administrators are presenting, for comparative purposes, with each one of the entries for the balance sheet, for the profit and loss statement, for the statement of recognized income and expenses, for the statement of changes in total equity, and for the statement of cash flows and notes, the corresponding figures for the previous fiscal period in addition to figures from the 2016 fiscal period. To this end, the balance sheets, profit and loss statements, recognized income and expense statements, changes in total equity statement, and cash flow statements presented herein align with the templates included in Circular 7/ EVALUATION PRINCIPLES AND CRITERIA APPLIED The most important accounting principles and criteria that were applied when preparing theses annual accounts are those which are summarized below. They align with the stipulations of Circular 7/2008: a) Going concern principle The business activity of the Company, and that of the Group to which it belongs, has been affected over the last few fiscal periods by the financial crisis and its impact on the real economy. This has mainly translated into lower levels of activity in the different businesses and difficulties when accessing finance markets. Within this context, the Company gradually adopted measures over the last few years which were aimed at adapting its capacity to the current situation and business outlook. To accomplish this, the Company had the support of the Group and of its shareholders. These measures were complemented with other measures designed to streamline the Company's structure and cut back on its balance sheet. This restructuring process has been undertaken in to main spheres: firstly, a plan was put into place to disinvest in non-strategic assets (sale of portfolios, settlement of positions in 14

21 financial derivatives, disinvestment in companies and assets, etc.) and, secondly, a very significant reduction of financing needs and operating expenses has been undertaken. The aforementioned has been planned and carried out with the aim of allowing the Company to continue its business activity autonomously, with a stable capital base, and with regulatory capital levels higher than the legal minimums. During this 2016 fiscal period, the restructuring process was finished with the sale of the Company to an investor outside of the Ahorro Corporación Group (see Note 1.2). Once said sale is finalized, it is expected for the new shareholder to put into place a new business plan aiming to earn a profit on the investment made. Considering the aforementioned, and independently from the sales process which has been started, the Administrators feel that the continuity of the Company's operations is guaranteed and, consequently, the Administrators have drafted these annual accounts based upon the "going concern" principle. b) Accrual accounting principle These annual accounts, except for parts related with the cash flow statement, have been drafted based upon the actual flow of goods and services and regardless of the date of their payment or their collection. c) Principle of prudence For the drafting of estimations and assessments under uncertain conditions, the Company is accounting for only the profits yielded until the final day of the fiscal period. However, for the drafting of these annual accounts, all risks which originated during the fiscal period in question and during other prior fiscal periods were taken into account as soon as they were known when liabilities or expenses were calculated, notwithstanding their subsequent reflection upon other documents which make up the annual accounts. d) Offsetting of balances Balances only offset each other and, as a result, we only present on the balance sheet (with their net amount) debit and credit balances which contemplate the possibility of being offset and for which the intention is for them to be settled for their net amount, or for the asset to be realized and the liability to be settled simultaneously. e) Materiality principle For the drafting of these annual accounts, the materiality principle has been upheld. Thus, the Company has opted to group any entries or amounts of a similar nature, provided their materiality is not very significant. Thus, the true and fair view of the Company is not altered. f) Transactions in a foreign currency For the purposes of these annual accounts, the euro has been chosen as the functional currency and the currency used for presentation. The term "foreign currency" can be understood as any currency different from the euro. Upon initial recognition, debit and credit balances in foreign currencies are converted to euros by using the spot exchange rate. After that moment, the following rules are applied for converting figures listed in foreign currencies to euros. 15

22 Assets and liabilities of a monetary nature are converted to euros by using the official reference exchange rate published by the European Central Bank on the date of each fiscal period's close. Non-monetary items assessed at historic cost are converted based upon the exchange rate on the day of acquisition. Non-monetary items assessed at fair value are converted based upon the exchange rate of the day on which the fair value was determined. Income and expenses are converted by applying the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Amortizations are converted by applying the exchange rate applied to the corresponding asset. Exchange variations which arise through the conversion of figures in a foreign currency are recorded on the profit and loss statement, with the exception of variations which arise in non-monetary items assessed at fair value whose adjustment to said fair value is allocated to total equity until the time when said items are realized. g) Recognition of income and expenses Generally speaking, income is recognized at the fair value of the compensation that is received (or that is going to be received), less commercial discounts, allowances, or markdowns. If cash inflow is deferred in time, the fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows. Recognition of any income on the profit and loss statement or in the total equity shall be conditioned to compliance with the following premises: Its amount can be reliably estimated. It is likely for the entity to receive the economic benefits. Information is verifiable. If doubts remain in relationship with the collection of an amount recognized previously as income, the amount whose recoverability may no longer be probable is recorded as an expense and not as lower income. All debt instruments which are classified by the Company individually as impaired, as well as those debt instruments for which impairment losses have been calculated collectively as they are over three months past due, stop accruing interest. Interest and dividends are recorded on the profit and loss statement based upon the following: Interest uses the effective interest rate method for recognition on the profit and loss statement. Dividends are recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest and dividends accrued prior to the instrument's acquisition date and which are outstanding do not make up part of the acquisition nor are they recognized as income. 16

23 h) Financial instruments A financial instrument is a contract which brings about a financial asset in one entity and simultaneously brings about a financial liability or capital instrument in another entity: Financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet solely if the Company becomes a party in the contract, in accordance with the specifications thereof. The Company recognizes accounts receivable or payable through credits and debits from the date on which the legal right to receive or the legal obligation to pay arises (for cash); for financial derivatives, this is from the contract date. Additionally, transactions undertaken on the currency market are recorded on the settlement date. Financial assets traded on Spanish secondary stock markets, if they are capital instruments, are recognized on the contract date and, if they are debt securities, this is on the settlement date. Financial instruments issued by the Company, as well as their components, are classified as financial liabilities on the date of their initial recognition, in accordance with their substance if said substance does not coincide with their legal form. Remuneration, changes to carrying amounts, as well as profit or loss associated with the repurchase or refinancing of financial liabilities are recorded on the profit and loss statement as a financial expense. Likewise, in the profit and loss statement all issuance costs for financial liabilities are recorded, applying the effective interest rate method. h.1) Financial assets Financial assets are, amongst others, the cash in hand balance, lines of credit in favor of financial intermediaries, lines of credit in favor of individuals, debt securities, acquired capital instruments (except for those which correspond to dependent companies, jointly-controlled companies, or associated/partner companies), and trading derivatives and hedging derivatives. The Company classifies its financial assets into the following portfolios for the purposes of assessment: Financial assets at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss Trading portfolio: Financial assets which originated or were acquired with the aim of being realized over the short term, or which are part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are identified and managed jointly and for which there is evidence of recent actions to obtain profits over the short term. Likewise, part of this portfolio is comprised of derivative instruments which are not designated as accounting hedges. Other assets at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss: The Company includes in this category hybrid financial instruments which must be assessed at their fair value in accordance with Circular 7/2008. Held-to-maturity investment portfolio: Includes debt securities with fixed dates of maturity whose future flows are of a determined or determinable amount and which the Company has the intention and proven financial ability (both at the beginning and at any later date) to hold until maturity. Lending investments: Include financial assets which are not traded on an active market and for which assessment at fair value is not obligatory; their cash flows are of a determined or determinable amount and the entire amount paid by the Company is expected to be recovered -- except for in cases which are attributable to the debtor's solvency. This category includes investments stemming from the business activity of providing lines of credit in favor of financial intermediaries and individuals. Financial assets available for sale: This portfolio includes debt securities which are not classified as held-to-maturity investments or fair value investments with changes posted to 17

24 profit and loss, capital instruments belonging to the Company's non-dependent entities, associated/partner entities, or jointly-controlled entities, as well as shares in mutual funds -- all of which are have not been included in the category of "at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss." Upon initial recognition on the balance sheet, financial assets are recorded at their fair value. The fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability can be settled, between interested and duly informed parties, in an arm's length transaction. After their initial recognition, the Company assesses all financial assets, including active derivatives, at fair value without deducting any transaction costs incurred through their sale, or any other type of payment, with the following exceptions: Financial assets included in the categories "Lending Investments" and "Held-to-maturity Investment Portfolio," which are assessed at their amortized cost. Financial assets that are capital instruments and whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated, as well as derivatives that those instruments have as underlying assets and that are liquidated through their surrender -- these are assessed at cost. The "fair value of a financial instrument" is understood to be the amount for which said instrument could be bought or sold on a given date, between interested and duly informed parties, in an arm's length transaction. "Amortized cost" is understood as the acquisition cost of a financial asset or liability which is adjusted (either up or down, depending upon the case) as a result of the repayment of principle and interest, plus or minus (depending on the case) the difference between the initial amount and the repayment amount of said financial instrument, as assigned to the profit and loss statement (through the use of the effective interest rate method). In the case of financial assets, the amortized cost additionally includes value adjustments due to any impairment undergone. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly matches the net carrying amount of a financial instrument to all its estimated cash flows of any kind throughout its residual life. For financial instruments with a fixed interest rate, the effective interest rate corresponds to the contractual interest rate set at the time of acquisition plus, if applicable, any commissions that are comparable to an interest rate because of their nature. For financial instruments with a variable interest rate, the effective interest rate corresponds to the rate of return prevailing for all items until the date on which the reference interest rate is to be revised for the first time. Financial assets are taken off the Company's balance sheet when the rights to receive the related cash flows have matured or have been transferred, provided that their risks and rewards are substantially transferred in said transfer or, although the latter are not substantially transferred nor retained, control over the financial asset is transferred. In this latter case, if control of the assets is not transferred, said assets shall continue being recognized for their ongoing commitment; that is to say, for an amount equal to the Company's exposure to changes in value for the transferred financial asset. Additionally, the Company will consider as doubtful accounts any amounts which correspond to debt instruments (matured or not) for which, after individual analysis, their possibility of recovery is considered to be remote and they should be derecognized from assets. Unless proof to the contrary is provided, all debits shall be included in this category (except for amounts covered by sufficient effective guarantees) from clients who are in bankruptcy proceedings and for which it is on record that the liquidation phase has been undertaken or is going to be undertaken, or debts from clients whose solvency notably and irreversibly goes down, as well as the inclusion of balances from transactions classified as doubtful because of the fact they have been outstanding for more than two years. 18

25 The carrying amount for financial assets is adjusted by the Company and posted to the profit and loss statement if there is objective evidence that impairment losses have arisen (see Note 3.i). h.2) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are, amongst others, debts with financial intermediaries, debts with individuals, trading derivatives and hedging derivatives, subordinate liabilities, and short positions. Financial liabilities are classified, for the purpose of their assessment, into the following categories: Financial liabilities at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss: This item mainly includes trading derivatives, as well as the short-selling of securities. Financial liabilities at amortized cost: This category includes financial liabilities which are not included in the previous category. Upon initial recognition on the balance sheet, financial liabilities are recorded at their fair value. After their initial recognition, all the Company's financial liabilities are assessed at their amortized cost, except for those identified as "liabilities at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss." The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation has disappeared. The difference between the carrying amount for extinguished financial liabilities and the compensation received is immediately recognized on the profit and loss statement. The securities Company maintains instrumental and temporary credit balances on behalf of individual clients in demand deposits with financial intermediaries, specifically mentioning their condition as "client balances" in compliance with Order 848/2005 from the Ministry of the Treasury. h.3) Earnings and losses from financial instruments Earnings and losses from financial instruments are recorded depending on the portfolio in which they are classified, in accordance with the following criteria: For financial instruments included in the category of "at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss," changes in fair value are recorded directly on the profit and loss statement. A distinction is made, for instruments which are not derivatives, between the part attributable to the instrument's accrued returns (recorded as interests or dividends, depending on their nature) and the rest (recorded as returns from financial transactions). Interest from financial instruments classified within this category is calculated by applying the effective interest rate method. For financial instruments assessed at amortized cost, changes in fair value are recognized when the financial instrument is derecognized and, for financial assets, when impairment occurs. Interest from financial instruments classified within this category is calculated by applying the effective interest rate method. For financial assets available for sale, the following criteria are applied: (i) Accrued interest is calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method and, if applicable, accrued dividends are recognized on the profit and loss statement; (ii) Impairment losses are recorded in accordance with the description in Note 3.i), (iii) Exchange variations are recognized on the profit and loss statement if monetary financial assets are at play, and temporarily in total equity as "valuation adjustments" if non-monetary financial assets are at play -- until they are derecognized from the balance sheet, at which time these differences are allocated to the profit and loss statement; (iv) The remaining value changes are recognized directly in the Company's total equity until the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. 19

26 h.4) Fair value of financial instruments The most objective and common reference for the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be paid for said instrument on an active market. If a price reference does not exist on the active market for a specific financial instrument, an estimate of its fair value is turned to, based upon recent transactions of comparable instruments and, if this is not possible, properly backed up assessment models are turned to, taking into account the specific peculiarities of the instrument to be assessed and, especially, the different types of risk that are associated with the instrument. The Company considers a market as not active if the trading volume and the number of transactions do not surpass the minimum threshold and, therefore, it cannot be considered to be representative. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has generally considered the corporate bond market as not active. More specifically, for debt instruments not traded on active markets, the Company has used the information available on the informational sheets of the Financial Asset Intermediaries' Association and the information disseminated via informational channels (Bloomberg, Reuters, etc.) which provide reference prices based upon quotes sent by different contributors. The fair value of financial trading derivatives on organized, transparent, and deep markets included in trading portfolios resembles the daily quote; and if, because of extraordinary circumstances, a quote cannot be established on any given day, methods similar to those used to assess derivatives not traded on organized markets are turned to. The fair value of derivatives not traded on organized markets or traded on organized markets which are not very deep or transparent resembles the sum of future cash flows which originate in the instrument, discounted to the assessment date ("present value" or "theoretical close"), using during the assessment process methods which are recognized on the financial markets: "net present value" (NPV), option pricing models, etc. -- including a spread for non-collateralized positions that reflects the counterparty risk and the product's liquidity. h.5) Reclassification of financial instruments to other categories. Reclassification of financial instruments to other categories is permitted under certain extraordinary circumstances and in accordance with specific rules. During the 2016 and 2015 fiscal periods, the Company did not undertake any type of reclassification. i) Impairment on financial assets The carrying amount for financial assets is adjusted by the Company and posted to the profit and loss statement if there is objective evidence that impairment losses have arisen. i.1) Debt instruments Objective evidence of the impairment of debt instruments (understood as loans and debt securities) is considered to exist if, after initial recognition, an event which has a negative impact on said instrument's future cash flow occurs. Objective evidence of impairment is determined individually for significant debt instruments, and individually and jointly for groups of instruments which are not individually significant. In the case of debt instruments valued at their amortized cost, the amount of impairment losses is equal to the difference between their carrying amount and the present value of their future estimated cash flows, taking into account the value of the guarantees received. For traded instruments, and as 20

27 a substitute for the present value of cash flows, the Company uses the market value thereof -- provided that said market value is sufficiently reliable. The amount of estimated impairment losses is recognized on the profit and loss statement, using a compensatory balancing entry to correct the value of the assets. Foreseen future flows are calculated by taking into account the guarantees, types of risk, and circumstances under which recovery is foreseen to take place. In the case of financial assets available for sale, the amount for impairment losses is equal to the positive difference between the asset's acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment, and its fair value, less any impairment losses previously recognized on the profit and loss statement. If there is objective evidence of a decrease in fair value being due to impairment, unrealized losses recognized as "valuation adjustments" in "total equity" are recorded immediately on the profit and loss statement. Recovery of impairment losses from debt instruments are recognized on the profit and loss statement for the period in which recovery took place. To calculate impairment losses for this type of asset, the Company evaluates possible losses as follows: Individually: for all significant assets and for assets that, although they are not significant, they are not included in homogeneous groups with similar characteristics - age of amounts due, type of guarantee, business activity sector, geographic area, etc. Collectively: The Company groups assets that have not been identified individually into homogeneous groups depending on their balancing entry, sector, transaction state, guarantee, and age of amounts due. For each group, the Company calculates the impairment losses, which are represented by the difference between the carrying amount of all the Company's financial assets and the present value of its future estimated cash flows, said cash flows being estimated based upon the Company's historic loss trends and trends from other entities which do business on the same market, for debt instruments with credit risk characteristics which are similar to those of the group, once the pertinent adjustments have been undertaken to align the historic data with the current market conditions. i.2) Capital instruments There is objective evidence of the fact that a capital instrument has become impaired if, after recognition, the asset undergoes a significant or prolonged decrease below its carrying amount in such a way that the Company feels as though its carrying amount will not be able to be recovered, or if significant adverse changes have arisen in relationship with the technological, market, economic, or legal contexts where the instrument's issuer does business, said changes possibly affecting recovery of the investment. In the case of capital instruments assessed at fair value and included in the "financial assets available for sale" portfolio, impairment losses are calculated as the difference between their acquisition cost and their fair value less previously recognized impairment losses. Unrealized losses directly recognized as "valuation adjustments" in "total equity" are recorded on the profit and loss statement if decrease in fair value is determined to be due to impairment. If, subsequently, all or part of the impairment losses are recovered, their amount is recognized in the "valuation adjustments" entry in "total equity." In the case of capital instruments assessed at cost in the "financial assets available for sale" portfolio, impairment losses are calculated as the difference between their carrying amount and the present value of expected future cash flows, updated in accordance with the market rate of return for other similar securities. For the calculation of impairment, the total equity of the investee is taken into account, and this is corrected for unrealized gains existing at the assessment date. These losses are 21

28 recorded on the profit and loss statement by directly deducting the capital instrument, without its amount being recoverable later except for in the case of sale. j) Accounting hedges The company uses financial derivatives as part of its strategy to reduce its exposure mainly to interest rate risks, credit risks, and exchange variation risks, amongst others. If these transactions meet certain requirements which are established in Regulation 25 of Circular 7/2008, said transactions are considered to be "hedging transactions." The Company designates hedging transactions from the initial moment, documenting said transaction properly, identifying the hedged instrument or instruments and the hedging instrument or instruments in addition to the nature of the hedged risk, as well as the criteria or methods used by the Company to evaluate the effectiveness of the hedge over its entire term in terms of managing the hedged risk. The Company only records as hedging transactions those transactions that are considered highly effective throughout their term. A hedge is considered highly effective if, during its foreseen term, variations in fair value or in cash flows that are attributed to the hedged risk are almost entirely offset by changes in the fair value or in the cash flows, as appropriate, of the hedging instrument or instruments. To measure the effectiveness of hedges, the Company analyses whether, from the beginning to the end of the term defined for the hedging transaction, it may be expected, prospectively, that the changes in fair value or in the cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk will be almost entirely offset by changes in the fair value or in the cash flows, as applicable, of the hedging instrument or instruments and, retrospectively, that the results of the hedge will be within a range of 80% to 125% of the results of the hedged item. During the 2016 and 2015 fiscal periods, the Company did not undertake any type of hedging transaction. k) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets include amounts for real property, furnishings, computer equipment, and other facilities which belong to the Company or are acquired under a financial leasing scheme. Tangible assets are classified depending on their use as tangible fixed assets for own use and real estate investments, and they can be reclassified into another category if their use changes. Tangible fixed assets for own use includes all assets which are property of the Company or which the company holds under a financial leasing scheme and which the Company expects to use for more than one fiscal period for administrative purposes or for producing or supplying goods and services. These assets are initially assessed at cost and, subsequently, they are assessed at cost less their accumulated amortization and, if applicable, less the accumulated amount for write downs as a result of recognized impairment. The cost of tangible fixed assets includes payments made both initially upon acquisition and production and subsequently if an extension, substitution, or improvement takes place provided, in both cases, future economic benefits are thought to be likely to stem from the asset's use. Likewise included as part of the value for tangible fixed assets is the initial estimate of the present value for any obligations assumed stemming from dismantling or removal, as well as restoration costs and similar costs, provided said obligations give rise to the recognition of provisions in accordance with the stipulations for assessing provisions set forth herein. The acquisition costs or production costs for tangible assets, net of their residual value, are depreciated on a straight-line basis depending on the estimated years of service life for the different elements and in accordance with the following: 22

29 YEARS OF SERVICE LIFE DEPRECIATION RATE USED Communications equipment % Computer equipment 4 25% Facilities %-15% Furniture and fixtures 10 10% Transport elements %-20% Expenses for maintenance and upkeep which do not increase the asset's service life are charged to the profit and loss statement for the fiscal period in which they are incurred. The borrowing costs incurred before getting the fixed asset up and running, stemming from outside financing, whether specific or generic, are included as a higher value in the acquisition price -- provided that they are directly attributable and that the period of time for the asset to be operational is greater than one year. The tangible fixed assets are derecognized from the balance sheet upon their transfer of title, when they are disposed of, or when they are permanently taken out of use and no future financial benefit is expected to stem therefrom. The difference between the sale amount and the asset's carrying amount is recognized on the profit and loss statement for the period in which the asset is derecognized, and it is classified in a separate line item. The Company periodically reviews the residual value, the service life, and the depreciation method used for assets and it identifies if there are any indications --either internal or external-- that a tangible asset may be impaired as of the date reflected on the financial statements. For any assets that are identified, the recoverable amount of the tangible asset is estimated, which is understood to be the greater value of: (i) its fair value less necessary sale costs and (ii) its value in use. If the recoverable value calculated in this way is less than the asset's carrying amount, the difference between the two is recognized on the profit and loss statement, reducing the asset's carrying amount to its recoverable amount. l) Intangible assets The Company classifies as intangible assets all non-monetary assets without physical substance from which it is probable that financial benefits shall be obtained and whose costs may be reliably estimated. For each intangible fixed asset, the service life is analyzed to determine if it is finite or indefinite. Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost and, subsequently, they are assessed at cost less any accumulated amortization and possible impairment losses. An intangible asset is recognized as such if and only if it is likely for the asset to generate future returns for the Company and if its cost can be assessed reliably. Intangible assets are systematically depreciated depending upon the estimated service life of the goods and on their residual value. The depreciation methods and periods applied are reviewed upon close of each fiscal period and, if applicable, adjusted prospectively. At least upon fiscal period closure, the existence of signs of impairment is evaluated, in which case the recoverable amounts are estimated and the applicable value adjustments are made. The years of service life and the depreciation rates used for intangible assets are as follows: YEARS OF SERVICE LIFE DEPRECIATION RATE USED Computer applications 3 33% 23

30 Included in computer applications are amounts paid for access to property rights or for usage rights over computer programs. Maintenance costs for these computer programs are directly allocated as expenses for the fiscal period in which they arise. m) Commissions and trading losses The Company classifies the commissions that it collects or pays into the following categories: m.1) Commissions for service provision Commissions for investment services, complementary business activities, and other similar activities are recognized on the profit and loss statement in accordance with the following: Commissions for business activities and services provided during a specific timeframe (client portfolio management, Collective Investment Scheme sales, deposit contracts, asset registration, custody, and administration, etc.), whether or not these activities and services are renewable, shall be allocated to the profit and loss statement over the period in which they are executed. Commissions for business activities and services provided for a non-specified timeframe (agreements for the underwriting and placing of issues, designing or advice strategies, and similar services) shall be recognized on the profit and loss statement depending upon their degree of realization. Commissions received for business activities and services provided just one time (reception, transmission, and settlement of orders, intermediary transactions on markets, Collective Investment Scheme subscription and redemption, etc.) shall be recognized on the profit and loss statement at the time of their execution. m.2) Financial commissions This type of commission, which is a comprehensive part of the return or effective cost of a financial transaction and which is collected or paid in advance, is generally recognized on the profit and loss statement throughout the time period that financing is expected to last, net of directly related costs, as an adjustment to the effective cost or return on the transaction. m.3) Trading losses The Company assumes, as trading losses, any derivative losses from trading incidents due to differences between the conditions of the orders received from the financial intermediaries and the trading and settlement conditions of the realized transactions. The Company recognizes the loss when it arises, regardless of the time when settlement takes place. n) Personnel expenses and remuneration based on capital instruments n.1) Short-term remuneration This type of remuneration is assessed, without being updated, as the amount that must be paid for services received. It is generally recorded as personnel expenses for the fiscal period and is included as "accruals and deferred income" on the liability side of the balance sheet (difference between the total expenditure and the amount already paid). 24

31 o) Other long-term remuneration o.1) Long-term remuneration This type of remuneration is assessed, without being updated, as the amount that must be paid for services received. It is generally recorded as personnel expenses for the fiscal period and is included as "accruals and deferred income" on the liability side of the balance sheet (difference between the total expenditure and the amount already paid). o.2) Provisions for pensions and similar obligations The Company promoted, in 1994, the Pension Plan for Employees of the Ahorro Corporación Group. Said plan is regulated by Royal Decree 304/2004, of February 20, which approves the Regulations on Pension Plans and Pension Funds, and its term is indefinite. The plan promoted covers the following contingencies: Participant's retirement Permanent total disability impeding all work, or severe disability Participant's passing Retirement benefits are charged to the capitalization fund established through pension contributions from the sponsor (net of payments for insurance premiums) plus returns (net of expenses) generated from said contributions. Benefits for disability or death shall be partly charged to the aforementioned capitalization fund and partly charted to an insurance policy with an insurance company. In accordance with the regulations for the aforementioned pension plan, the Company makes ordinary contributions for all staff members, with said contributions being, depending upon the seniority of the employee (greater or less than 2 years), being equivalent to 2.5% of the annual pensionable salary, or equal to the amount necessary to cover the insured capital in the case of death or disability, respectively. Contributions for 2016 and 2015 came to 170,000 and 236,000 euros respectively -- amounts which are recorded under the heading "Personnel Expenses" on the attached profit and loss statement. (Note 19.2). As of February 24, 2005, new specifications were established for the Pension Plan which dictated that, in addition to ordinary contributions, the sponsor could make individual extraordinary contributions for each participant, the amount of which could be determined in accordance with productivity and results during the fiscal period (without surpassing the limits set forth by the regulations in force). There have been no contributions of this type during the 2016 and 2015 fiscal periods. o.3) Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognized as a provision and as a personnel expense only if the Company is demonstrably required to terminate the bond that unites it with the employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date, or if the company is demonstrably required to pay termination benefits as a result of an offer made to incentivize the employee's voluntary withdrawal from employment. p) Provisions and contingencies The company distinguishes between provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets. Provisions are credit balances that cover obligations which are present as of the balance sheet date and which arose as a result of events from which monetary losses for the entity could arise -- considered probable in terms of their occurrence, concrete in terms of their nature, but undetermined 25

32 in terms of their amount and/or moment of payment. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations which arise as a result of past events whose materialization is conditioned on one or more future events happening or not -- whether or not the will of the Company is for said future events to materialize. Contingent assets are assets whose existence is conditioned to the occurrence or not of events outside of the Company's control which bring about the asset's origin. The Company's annual accounts include all significant provisions with regard to which it is thought the likelihood of having to handle the obligation is greater than that of not having to handle the obligation, provided that the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably and that said obligation involves the Company's losing of resources which are financially beneficial. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognized in the annual accounts; instead, they are informed upon in memorandum accounts. Provisions, which are quantified taking into account improved information available on the consequences of the event which caused them and are re-estimated at every accounting reporting period, are used to face the specific obligations for which they were originally recognized. Thus, they are reverted (either in full or partially) if said obligations cease to exist or diminish. Under no circumstance are provisions recognized to cover future losses stemming from the business activities of the entity nor to compensate for lower future returns. For situations in which compensation is going to be received from a third party when an obligation is settled, and provided that there are no doubts as to whether said payment will be received, an asset is posted without reduction of the amount of the debt. The amount for which said asset is recorded may not surpass the amount of the obligation recorded in the accounting. Only in cases in which there is a legal or contractual bond through which a portion of the risk has been externalized and as a result of which the Company is not liable has compensation been taken into account when estimating the amount of the provision. q) Tax on profits The expense for tax on profits is determined by the tax to be paid with regard to the accounting profit from a fiscal period after having considered variations during said fiscal period stemming from temporary differences, from tax credits due to deductions and abatements, and from negative tax bases. The expense for tax on profits is recognized on the profit and loss statement, except when the transaction is directly recorded in total equity and except in the case of business combinations (in which the deferred tax is recorded as another capital asset thereof). For deductions, abatements, and credits from negative tax bases to be applied, the requirements in current legislation must be complied with. The tax effect of temporal differences is included, if applicable, in the corresponding prepaid or deferred tax line items recorded under the headings "tax assets" and "tax liabilities" of the attached balance sheet. The Company reviews recorded deferred tax at least at the end of each reporting period and, therefore, review is likewise undertaken of the related tax assets and liabilities recorded. The opportune value corrections are made in the event that said deferred taxes are found not to be outstanding or are recoverable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are assessed at the effective tax rates that are expected to be of application for the fiscal period in which the assets are realized or the liabilities are settled, depending upon the tax rates (and tax law) approved as of the date on the balance sheet. 26

33 r) Off-balance-sheet customer funds The Company includes, in memorandum accounts and at fair value, funds entrusted by third parties for their investment in companies and mutual funds, pension funds, and discretionary portfolio management agreements. Likewise, in memorandum accounts (see Note 18), recorded at fair value or, in the event that a reliable estimation thereof does not exit, at cost, are assets acquired on behalf of third parties, capital instruments, debt instruments, derivative instruments, and other financial instruments that are held on deposit; therefore, the Company is liable before its clients to this end. When the market so requires, the Company uses omnibus accounts (combining individuals' accounts) for which the entity itself appears as the bearer of the positions. The Company keeps the internal records necessary to know the breakdown per client. To determine the fair value of these positions, the Company uses the share prices obtained on the different markets or supplied by the global custodians if mutual funds are being dealt with (net asset value). The commissions charged for the provision of these services are included under the heading of "commissions received" on the profit and loss statement, and they have been detailed in Note 19.1 of this Report. s) Investment Guarantee Fund and National Resolution Fund In accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 948/2001, dated August 3, on systems to indemnify investors, modified by Law 53/2002, of December 30, on tax measures, administrative measures, and social measures, also modified by Royal Decree 1642/2008, of October 10, which updates guaranteed amounts, Securities Companies must make annual contributions to an Investment Guarantee Fund. The amount that the Company contributed during the 2016 fiscal period to said Fund came to 183,000 euros (185,000 euros during 2015) and it is listed as an expense under the heading other operating expenses (Note 19.4) of the attached profit and loss statement. Law 11/2015, of June 18, along with its regulatory body listed in Royal Decree 1012/2015, of November 6, stipulates the transposition of Directive 2014/59/EU, of May 15, to Spanish legal order. In said regulation, a new framework is established for the resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, said framework in turn being one of the bases that contributes to the constitution of a Single Resolution Mechanism created through Council Regulation (EU) No. 806/2014, of July 15, establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund. One of the pillars of the new framework for resolution is the creation of resolution funds as financing instruments that the resolution authorities are able to use to effectively undertake the different established resolution measures. On the national level, Law 11/2015 regulates the creation of a National Resolution Fund whose financial resources must reach, before December 31, 2024, 1% of the amount of guaranteed deposits -- this being reached through the contributions of credit institutions and investment firms established in Spain. The Royal Decree establishes that the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB) shall annually set the entities' contributions to the National Resolution Fund, with said contributions being tailored to the entity's risk profile. During the 2016 fiscal period, a contribution to the National Resolution Fund was made for the amount of 173,000 euros (248,000 euros in 2015) (Note 19.4), recorded under the heading other operating expenses on the profit and loss statement. 27

34 t) Related parties The company considers Administrators, key members of Management, and related individuals to be related parties -- as well as companies belonging to the Ahorro Corporación Group. Transactions with related parties are undertaken under normal market conditions. u) Shares This item includes investments in Group Companies, Jointly-Controlled Companies, and Associated/Partner Companies. These investments are assessed at cost less any write downs for impairment. Group Companies are those over which the Company has control either by exercising effective control or by virtue of agreements with the other shareholders. v) Cash flow statement For the purposes of drafting the cash flows, the Company has considered as cash or cash equivalents the cash balance in the treasury, demand deposits with financial intermediaries, and lines of credit to financial intermediaries for proprietary trading pending settlement, net of debts with financial intermediaries for proprietary trading pending settlement. The breakdown of these entries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: VALUES ARE IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS Cash (Note 7) Demand deposits (Note 11.1) Cash and cash equivalents DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT Below, the distribution of profit from the 2016 fiscal period is included, which the Company's Board of Directors will propose to the General Assembly of Shareholders for approval. Likewise included is the distribution of profit from the 2015 fiscal period which was approved by the General Assembly of Shareholders as of April 27, 2016: EUROS Profit/(Losses) from the fiscal period after corporate income tax (749,606.08) (2,909,612.23) Total distributable (749,606.08) (2,909,612.23) To negative results from previous fiscal periods (749,606.08) (2,909,612.23) Total distributable (749,606.08) (2,909,612.23) 28

35 4.1 LIMITATIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS The Company is obliged to allocate 10% of profits from the fiscal period for the constitution of legal reserves until said reserves reach at least 20% of the capital stock. Likewise, the Company must recognize a restricted reserve every year of at least 5% of the goodwill recorded in assets on the balance sheet. 5 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company maintains active management of its equity based on the hedging of the main business risks. The Company's equity is supervised in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, of June 26, on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms. This Regulation is obligatory for Member States and of application as of January 1, Capital management The main goal of the Company's capital management strategies is to ensure that compliance is met in terms of equity and to guarantee maintenance of a healthy capital ratio with the aim of undertaking business and maximizing value for the shareholder. The Company manages the structure of its equity and makes the necessary adjustments in accordance with changes in economic conditions and with risks stemming from the businesses activities undertaken. To maintain or adjust the structure of equity, the Company adjusts the amount of the dividends to be paid to the shareholder, the issuance of own capital instruments, and the distribution of reserves. Current laws (aforementioned) regulate the minimum amount of equity which must be held by investment firms, both on an individual level and on a consolidated group level, as well as the way in which said equity must be calculated. The Company's computable equity (and that required) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, calculated in accordance with Regulation 575/2013, is as follows: VALUES ARE IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS Computable capital Computable reserves Intangible assets (321) (189) Second tier equity - - Computable equity Equity requirements Equity surplus

36 6 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK MANAGEMENT The company has the following control and compliance departments within the structure of the Ahorro Corporación Group: Risk management Legal services and regulatory compliance Internal auditing Computer system monitoring The aforementioned departments, in order to undertake their activities, have access to accounting information, general managerial information, and risk management information from every business unit. Generally, their tasks can be summed up as: Evaluating the suitability and efficiency of control procedures and mechanisms established in terms of the different Company business activities (including the undertaking of unscheduled audits of business activities). Supervising policies and procedures for risk control, as well as complying with risk limits at the close of each day. Drafting proposals and developing internal control systems and risk control systems. Advising the Company in order to guarantee compliance with current regulations while undertaking its investment activities and service provision. Monitoring and evaluation of compliance with current legislation. Drafting proposals for the Company's Board of Directors on informational models and systems for incurred risks. Informing the Company's Board of Directors by presenting periodic reports on the degree of compliance with control procedures and on compliance with risk limits MARKET RISK Exposure to potential loss stemming from adverse movements in terms of the price of the securities which make up portfolios is considered "market risk." Amongst the factors which originate market risk, noteworthy because of their incidence in the business activities undertaken by the Company are interest rate fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations, share price, and option volatility. As described in Note 3 --except for financial assets classified under the heading "lending investments" and capital instruments whose fair value cannot be estimated reliably, or derivative instruments whose underlying assets are said capital instruments-- the Company's financial assets are recorded on the attached balance sheet at fair value. Likewise, except for financial liabilities recorded under the heading "financial liabilities at amortized cost," the rest of the financial liabilities are recorded at fair value on the attached balance sheet. Management of market risk is undertaken by the Ahorro Corporación Group's Strategy and Risk Commission and Parent Company Board of Directors through the establishment of limits and the daily calculation of the Value at Risk (VaR). This management is complemented by the definition and monitoring of other limits (mainly concentration ratio and stop-loss methods). 30

37 The VaR is established based on a confidence level of 99%, a historical observation period of one year (250 sessions), and a time horizon that includes the investments of one day. The summary of the monthly evolution of the average and maximum daily VaR from the 2016 and 2015 fiscal periods, by business activity area, is as follows (in thousands of euros): Monthly evolution of the VaR from the 2016 fiscal period Average Daily VaR Limit (*) JAN-16 FEB-16 MAR-16 APR-16 MAY-16 JUN-16 JUL-16 AGU-16 SEP-16 OCT-16 NOV-16 DEC-16 Average 2016 Risk - Variable Income Risk - Fixed Income TOTAL AGGREGATED VaR % 25% 28% 22% 21% 15% 3% 3% 2% 2% 2% 2% 13% Maximum Daily VaR Limit (*) JAN-16 FEB-16 MAR-16 APR-16 MAY-16 JUN-16 JUL-16 AGU-16 SEP-16 OCT-16 NOV-16 DEC-16 Average 2016 Variable Income - Cash Variable Income - Derivatives TOTAL AGGREGATED VaR % 29% 30% 22% 22% 22% 3% 3% 3% 2% 2% 6% 15% Monthly evolution of the VaR from the 2015 fiscal period Average Daily VaR Limit (*) JAN-15 FEB-15 MAR-15 APR-15 MAY-15 JUN-15 JUL-15 AGU-15 SEP-15 OCT-15 NOV-15 DEC-15 Average 2015 Risk - Variable Income Risk - Fixed Income TOTAL AGGREGATED VaR % 19% 15% 15% 15% 16% 22% 24% 20% 20% 24% 22% 18% Maximum Daily VaR Limit (*) JAN-15 FEB-15 MAR-15 APR-15 MAY-15 JUN-15 JUL-15 AGU-15 SEP-15 OCT-15 NOV-15 DEC-15 Average 2015 Variable Income - Cash Variable Income - Derivatives TOTAL AGGREGATED VaR % 24% 19% 17% 19% 18% 25% 26% 26% 35% 30% 28% 24% Below, the breakdown of the fair value of the financial instruments is indicated. The financial instruments are classified depending upon the assessment method applied. The three levels of classification are: Level 1: Financial instruments whose market value has been calculated based on their quoted price in active markets. Level 2: Financial instruments whose fair value has been calculated based on assessment methods which use references to prices from similar instruments or inputs based on observable market data. The main assessment methods, hypotheses, and inputs used for estimating the fair value of financial instruments classified as Level 2, by financial instrument type, are as follows: Trading derivatives: The fair value of derivatives on interest rates has been determined by discounting future flows by using money market curves and the swap curve. For derivatives on equity instruments or stock indexes, the fair value has been obtained by using the Monte Carlo Method or the Black-Scholes Model. 31

38 As of July 30, 2015, the Company signed a sales agreement for practically all of its positions in derivatives -- subject to compliance with specific conditions. With regard to derivatives with a banking entity counterparty, the purchaser applied, to the present value thereof, a discount of 1.5 million euros, paid in November of 2015 and recognized as a decrease in the value of the aforementioned derivatives. This loss has been reflected in the heading "profit or loss on financial transactions (net) - trading portfolio" on the attached profit and loss statement. Recording of derivatives shall continue on the Company balance sheet until conditions arise in which all risks from the portfolio are transferred to the acquiring entity. Likewise, in the aforementioned agreement, a series of discounts were established, applicable to corporate IRS derivatives. As of December 31 of the 2016 fiscal period, the Company continued to record 23 transactions with these characteristics. Debt securities: The fair value of debt instruments has been determined based on their price on official markets (Office of Entries of the Bank of Spain), informational sheets by the Financial Asset Intermediaries' Association (credit institutions), or by applying prices obtained from information service providers who calculate their prices based on prices disseminated by contributors, as well as by using prices from recent sales of similar instruments. Lending investments and financial liabilities at amortized cost: These headings recognize credits and debits at a fixed or variable interest rate whose maturity is on a very short term; therefore, significant differences between their amortized cost and the fair value of said credits and debits are not thought to arise. Level 3: Financial instruments whose fair value has been calculated based on assessment methods in which some of the input is not based on observable market data. The assessment methods applied for these cases are sufficiently backed up by the financial markets, they are habitually used by those who operate on said markets, they maximize the use of observable data and/or recent transactions, and they take into account the specific peculiarities of the instrument to be assessed and, especially, the different types of risk that are associated with the instrument. For the specific case of derivatives not traded on organized markets or traded on organized markets which are not very deep or transparent included in Level 3, such as corporate IRS derivatives, their fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the derivative, discounted to the assessment date ("present value") and, additionally, for derivatives not guaranteed by a collateral contract, an adjustment is applied for the Company's own credit risk or for external credit risks (CVA and DVA) which reflects the counterparty credit risk and the product's liquidity. 32

39 As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 these non-collateralized transactions correspond to long-term financial swaps with companies for which no observable data exists on the market such as rating, Credit Default Swap (CDS) price, etc. To determine CVA, fixed income issues from entities or institutions which, due to their nature, would be comparable to the balancing entries for these transactions have been used as a reference. As a result of the evolution of the interest rate curve for the 2016 fiscal period, the spreads applied to the market interest rates (Euribor) as of December 31, 2016 were zero basis point spreads (72 and 2,704 basis points in 2015) and, as a result, no CVA was made as of December 31, During the 2015 fiscal period, CVA came to 16,710,000 euros, impacting the profit and loss statement for 2015 with 4,783,000 euros in losses. As has been indicated previously, the purchaser of the corporate IRS derivatives has applied a series of discounts to the present value thereof. When calculating the spreads listed previously, the most unfavorable discount for the Company has been considered. The breakdown of all the financial assets and liabilities, classified by the different assessment levels, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: 33

42 ANEXO I 6.2 CREDIT RISK CREDIT RISK GOALS, POLICIES, AND MANAGEMENT PROCESSES Credit risks arise due to the possibility of incurring losses as a result of non-compliance with payment obligations by debtors, as well as losses in value due to declines in debtors' creditworthiness. In the Company, most credit risks (including counterparty risk) come from market transactions, or credit risk is assumed alongside entities (mainly credit institutions) and comes from the financial transaction -- both in cash (where the amount of risk is comparable to the nominal amount of the transaction) and in derivatives not traded on organized markets (whose exposure to risk, in the majority of cases, is less than the nominal amount of the transaction). The management policies for said risk are set by the Board of Directors through the Strategy and Risk Commission. Thus, the Board establishes the general principles which define the risk profiles for the Company in terms of the business activities undertaken. The Company has a procedure for granting and monitoring of limits, as well as for the approval of certain specific transactions with entities which are not financial institutions. Credit risk is managed via a limit structure that is dependent upon the likelihood of default, with similar criteria being used as that for the different rating levels. In the case of transactions on financial markets, the Company also has contractual rights and agreements for compensation ( netting ) with the majority of the financial counterparties with which it contracts derivative instruments. It is also a common practice on the financial market to establish Collateral Programs amongst entities which contract O.T.C. derivative products. The main reason for this lies in mitigating the counterparty credit risk for said derivative products. Currently, there are different collateral agreements for derivatives ( Collateral Security Agreement ) and for repos ( General Master Repurchase Agreement ). In all of these agreements, only "cash" is accepted as a guarantee. Thus, value adjustments are avoided for the guarantee. To ensure the effectiveness of these guarantees, the agreements entered into with the counterparties are materialized by using ISMA contracts (International Securities Markets Association), ISDA contracts (International Swaps and Derivatives Association), and the ISDA-CSA (ISDA Credit Support Annex), within the context of ISDA support. Calculation of exposure for each transaction takes into account methods based upon the market value for the transaction, and this is determined by the transaction's credit risk equivalent (CRE) -- its market value, or current exposure. The Risk Control Department undertakes daily monitoring of business with each counterparty and verifies that everything is within the authorized limits. Mediation of risks and management of collateral is undertaken daily, and the information generated is periodically presented to the Risk Committee, made up of the corporate executives responsible for risk management. Likewise, said Committee is in charge of setting and approving specific transactions and lines with new counterparties -- always respecting the general principles established by the Board of Directors through the Strategy and Risk Commission. Financial assets exposed to credit risks are those shown below, with their carrying amount. The company's maximum credit risk exposure is as follows: 31 DECEMBER 2016 EUROS 36

45 ANEXO I recorded under the heading impairment losses on financial assets (net) on the attached profit and loss statement (Note 11.3). As mentioned in Note 11.1 of this Report, during the 2015 fiscal period the Company released the provisions held for the outstanding invoices which corresponded to two venture capital companies -- invoices which, until said date, had been recorded as doubtful and 100% accounting provisions had been made. The breakdown of impairment losses from the 2016 and 2015 fiscal periods is included in Note INTEREST RATE RISK This risk refers to the impact that general interest rate changes can have on the profit and loss statement (flows which generate income and expenses) or on the financial assets. The causes are gaps in maturity dates or the repricing of assets and liabilities, which produces a different response when faced with interest rate variations.

The Company must comply with a liquidity ratio; thus, a volume of investments in low-risk, highliquidity assets must be maintained at all times to cover a percent of the callable liabilities whose remaining term is less than a year, not counting instrumental and temporary credit balances held for clients. Said volume is defined by the Ministry of the Treasury, and its minimum is 10%.

48 ANEXO I The Risk Committee of Ahorro Corporación Financiera, S.V., S.A.U. undertakes daily monitoring of the liquidity position, defined as the part of shareholders' equity that surpasses structural investments (tangible assets and investments in associated/partner companies) plus liquidities (excluding the investment of clients' temporary balances and including available balances in unused lines of credit), less future commitments. Management of liquidity is related with prudent business growth control in terms of financial transaction asset volumes. The key lies in the ability to answer for debts incurred without having high costs or a drop in profitability. The scheme for assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, and accrued liabilities, classified by contractual maturity, in thousands of euros, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: 31 DECEMBER 2016 SIGHT UP TO 1 MONTH BETWEEN 1 AND 3 MONTHS BETWEEN 3 AND 6 MONTHS BETWEEN 6 AND 12 MONTHS MORE THAN 12 MONTHS UNDEFINED TOTAL Financial assets: Trading portfolio Debt instruments Capital instruments Derivatives Other assets at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss Lending investments Financial assets available for sale Debt securities Capital instruments Hedging derivatives Total financial assets Financial liabilities: Trading portfolio Other liabilities at fair value, with changes posted to profit and loss Short-selling of capital instruments -Short-selling of debt instruments Financial liabilities at amortized cost Hedging derivatives Total financial liabilities Period gap Cumulative gap

The item instruments deposited in other entities includes the remaining securities which are redeposited in other entities that act as sub-custodians (Euroclear (AA+), for fixed income and variable income domestic securities, Goldman Sachs International (A), BNP Paribas (AA), and Citibank (A+), for variable income foreign securities, Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (Grupo C. Suisse A+), for derivatives traded on foreign markets, and CECA for variable income domestic securities). Each system or sub-custodian either maintains individualized accounts for each bearer or global combined accounts ( omnibus accounts) in which there is a distinction between the Company account (if there are positions held by the Company) and the global combined third-party account. The Administrators of the Company feel that the securities held in global combined accounts (because they are recorded in accounts which are specifically for clients, and because the clients have been informed on their use) are assets restricted for clients and they thus would not be part of the assets with which the Company should answer to liabilities or commitments. Nevertheless, these assets are exposed to the counterparty risk of the global combined custodians. As of December 31, 2016, the Company held 75 third-party portfolio management agreements (18 contracted in 2015). 19 PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT 60

71 ANEXO I 20 TAX SITUATION The Company is part of a Group whose parent company is Ahorro Corporación, S.A., paying corporate income tax under the tax consolidation scheme. The company has its returns for the last four fiscal periods open for inspection. These returns correspond to Corporate Income Tax, Personal Income Tax, and Value Added Tax. In accordance with current legislation, tax returns may not be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or the corresponding limitation period has passed. Because of the different interpretations of applicable tax law and the different interpretations of profit and loss amounts that could stem from other tax inspections, there are tax liabilities of a contingent nature which cannot be objectively quantified. Nevertheless, it is estimated that, in the event of the appearance of the aforementioned possible contingent liabilities, they would not significantly affect the overall image of the Company's equity and financial situation. During the 2010 fiscal period, the Company was under the basic VAT tax consolidation scheme as stipulated by Law 36/2006, of November 29, which modified Law 37/1992, of December 28, on Value Added Tax. As of December 17, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's joining (beginning on January 1, 2011) of the special scheme for advanced-level entities -- alongside the parent company, Ahorro Corporación, S.A., and the rest of the associate companies which met the specific legal requirements. Determination of the accounting results before taxes and the tax base for Corporate Income Tax, as well as the other calculations made by the Company in relationship with said tax, as of December 31, 2016, are as follows: VALUES ARE IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS INCREASE DECREASE BALANCE Accounting result from the fiscal period after corporate income tax (750) Corporate income tax 10 Long-term differences due to tax consolidation - (59) (59) Long-term differences (6.656) (2.627) Adjusted accounting result (3.426) Short-term differences - Originating during the fiscal period Originating during prior fiscal periods - (1.778) (1.778) Tax base for the fiscal period Long-term differences due to tax consolidation Application of tax loss and tax credit carryforwards Total (3.679) VALUES ARE IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS TAX TAX DUE Refundable Rate (25%) - On adjusted accounting result On tax base - - Deductions - For investments Others - - Others (foreign corporate income tax) 10 - Corporate income tax - - Withholding and partial prepayment - 41 Total

The refundable tax amount is recognized in the item other credit and advances as part of the balances with Related Parties (Note 21). As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company does not have deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. The Administrators decided not to record the tax credits or the deferred tax assets which arose as a result of the losses from the 2012 fiscal period, although they did consider the continuity of operations to be sure. Nevertheless, uncertainties about the business and the sector do not bring about the circumstances required by accounting regulations for recognition of the aforementioned tax credits and deferred tax assets during this fiscal period. The Company's tax loss and tax credit carryforwards pending offset in future fiscal periods, after the 2016 period, come to a total of 106,832,000 euros. 66

95 MANAGEMENT REPORT CORRESPONDING TO THE ANNUAL PERIOD FINISHED ON DECEMBER 31, ECONOMIC CONTEXT a economic context and financial markets 2016 was marked by populism and the price of oil. The global economy saw moderate growth in 2016 (+3.0% vs. +3.2% in 2015) due to the slowing of developed economies, which were largely affected by turbulent financial markets and a continued recession in Russia and Brazil. During a good part of 2016, financial markets oscillated between caution --due to political risks, especially in Europe-- and optimism stemming from better economic indicators and a spike in the price of oil, which calmed deflationary fears. During the last part of the year, Trump's triumph triggered "reflationary optimism" and brought about a good push for risk assets.

96 Oil prices stole center stage at the start of the year... The year started off with clear symptoms of economic downturn in China, which resulted in additional falls for already decreasing crude prices. Said falls in crude oil prices incited even more fear of deflation in developed economies, which were already feeling the weight of an economic slowdown. The context of crude oil prices put the oil companies into check and a fear that the insolvency of these companies would bring the financial sector down with them awoke the ghost of the 2008 financial crisis and put the sector on center stage with a double fear: its exposure to energy companies and the decline in its profitability against a backdrop of low interest rates. The correlation between the price of oil and risk assets, which has turned positive since the start of the financial crisis in 2008, spiked sharply -- ebbed on by deflationary expectations. Thus, in an environment with extremely low interest rates, the price of crude oil became one of the main references for risk assets. With the price of the Brent barrel reaching lows below 30 USD / barrel in January, risk assets suffered from hard falls, recording lows that, in the case of European equities, have been around since Recovery since then In March, the ECB announced an increase to its stimulus efforts, while the Fed hinted at delaying its scheduled rate increase. Public debt was classified to be negative over the short and medium term in a good part of the European countries. Recovery of crude prices began in the wake of expectations of a moderation of supply (oil company insolvency, especially in the USA, and worry amongst the members of OPEC about such low levels of prices) and a recovery of demand (economic data began to show signs of improvement). The final agreement to reduce the supply levels amongst the members of the OPEC did not arrive until the end of the year, although expectations were surpassed as the volume of supply was cut more than expected and other non-opec members were also included, like Russia. This agreement gave a major boost to crude prices, which closed at levels higher than 55 USD / Brent barrel at the end of the year. and politics rounded off the second part of the year. The turbulence of the financial markets at the start of the year made variable income trading volumes plummet -- caution which was beset by fear of the possibility that the UK's Brexit referendum would bring about the country's effective withdrawal from the EU. The possibility that the vote would be no to staying in the EU paved the way for great uncertainty, not only in terms of the economy but also in the political realm. The final vote, which was quite close but ended up deciding in favor of withdrawal, caused panic selling that lasted a few weeks. From then on, the expectation for the central banks to once again rescue the markets, as well as the economic indicators (which continued to show signs of improvement) made the markets adopt a position of "let's wait and see." In this context, although calm returned to the markets, the volume of risk assets was still quite depleted. 3

Evolution of the trading volume of European equities in 2015 and ene-15 abr-15 jul-15 oct-15 ene-16 abr-16 jul-16 oct-16 Source: FactSet and ACF Strategy Volumen RV Europa (Pricipales bolsas en España, Francia, Italia, Alemania, Holanda y Bélgica) The financial consequences of the Brexit will take a while to become visible and will depend on the exit scheme agreed upon between the EU and the United Kingdom, but we are already experiencing the political consequences. The Brexit has made evident a problem that had been festering in Europe since the debt crisis of : the increase of populist, anti-european political parties. This put on the table the real possibility of the breakup of the EU that different European parties had advocated for with increasingly more support from citizens. The increase of these parties is presumed to be especially worrying in terms of the next few years (2017 and 2018), which have a very tight electoral calendar with countries like France and Germany in the spotlight. Likewise, Italy has become one of the centers for greatest worry in Europe because of the possibility that it may have to move up its elections and due to the strong electoral support that the anti-system and anti-european "Five Star Movement" has. Spain, which was able to establish a government after its second elections in June while avoiding the "Podemos" party in the equation, was reborn as one of the countries with greatest political stability amongst the large countries of the EU -- despite the fact that its government is weakly supported. Another of the great political spotlights of the year was, undoubtedly, Trump who, in November, against all forecasts, won the presidential elections of the United States. Likewise against all forecasts, after a short period of initial volatility, the reaction of the markets to the election was practically one of a buying spree brought on by the "reflationary optimism" which was fed by the expectation that Trump would substantially increase infrastructure spending and lower taxes. The possibility for protectionism to be increased in one of the biggest commercial powers of the world, in accordance with the nationalist rhetoric of Trump and his America First slogan for foreign policy, has been until now less considered by investors. 4

98 The euphoria generated by Trump, the increase in the prices of oil, and the Fed's return to its normalization process for monetary policy during a period of economic improvement all favored the increase in risk assets of the last two months of the year and the rebound of returns on long-term debt. The main equity indexes were able to close a very complicated year positively, with the upturns in Brazil being especially relevant (where the change of government had a positive impact on the markets) and also in the USA (where the main indicators closed 2016 at all-time highs). In Europe, the positive tone took a second stage to the political risks, and losses were recorded of around 2% in Spain and 10% in Italy, where the special political risk and banking sector acted as additional impediments. b. Financial and economic outlook for 2017 The global economy has shown signs of greater dynamism during the last stretch of 2016 and start of Favorable global financial conditions, reinforced by expansive monetary policies, by the recovery and stabilization of oil prices, and by less pressure on the dollar justify the signs of moderate growth. Thus, the likelihood is strengthened of the USA growing nearly 2.5% and of the Eurozone growing more than 1.5%, with Spain continuing to be one of the main engines, with a growth of 2.7%. One of the keys to the improved outlook, which shows signs of global growth acceleration near 3.5% as compared with 3.1% in 2016, is the stabilization of the Chinese economy, which increased its interannual growth by one tenth during the last quarter to 6.8%. Likewise of relevance will be the foreseen abandonment of the recessionary climate in economies like those of Russia and Brazil. The reasonably favorable macroeconomic outlook, which is being contemplated with the continuity of the process towards normalization of rates of inflation in advanced economies, likewise has clear risks of decline, amongst which we can point out populism, the change of monetary policy, and risks which are now almost commonly associated with excess credit in the Chinese economy. The populist threat is the most relevant: a risk of protectionist policies and/or an excessive fiscal expansion in the USA, a risk of breakup processes in the Eurozone, and a risk of the Brexit going towards an especially traumatic situation. Our common theme is that none of said risks will materialize in full over the next few months. In 2017, politics will continue to mark the evolution of financial markets -- with special intensity during the first half of the year, thanks to the elections in Holland and France, and as we wait for Trump to start to formulate his most relevant policies. The central banks will also be in the spotlight, thanks to the normalization process in terms of monetary policy being carried out by the Fed -- three increases of 25 basis points are expected for rates this year -- and the possibility of the ECB, in keeping with a clearly expansive monetary policy, beginning to phase out its stimulus program. Within this context, we expect a spike in returns on sovereign debt both in the USA and in Europe, moderate depreciation of the Euro when compared with the dollar, and improved behavior of European equities when compared with American equities. One of the greatest risks for European assets -- the populist increase -- could become an opportunity and favor more expansive fiscal policies in Europe and, as a result, economic growth. Additionally, European equities could finally benefit from a more attractive position in terms of its market valuations. 5

99 c. Evolution of the financial system Turbulence on the financial markets, political risks, an environment with extraordinarily low interest rates, and regulatory changes brought about important challenges for the European financial system during Nevertheless, the Spanish financial system kept its signs of improvement that began to appear in 2015 in terms of its leverage ratios and solvency, strengthening its capital ratios and cleaning up its balance sheets. The ECB made a comment to this end in its report after its supervision of the Spanish banking system in October 2016, pointing out that the banking sector had continued exhibiting a high degree of stability, favored by low finance costs, the restructuring process underway in the sector, and the strength of economic recovery. After the stress tests undertaken by the European Banking Authority, the Spanish financial system demonstrated sufficient levels of solvency to bear periods of tension. Additionally, and according to data from the Bank of Spain, the quality of the balance sheet continued to improve, with a fall in doubtful assets of more than 38% from December of 2013 to June of something which would leave the payment default ratio around levels which are similar to those of 2012 (10%). The main challenge that the Spanish banking sector faces, just like in other Eurozone countries, is that of maintaining returns in the current context of low volumes of activity and interest rates which are extremely low. Another of the great challenges that the financial system faces is that of adapting to the digital revolution, which is changing the way banking entities relate with their clients, the efficiency of operations, and even the types of services provided. d. Regulatory context Probably the most relevant regulatory element of 2016, which will continue to be present in 2017, is the Reform of the Registry, Clearing, and Settlement System. In 2016, it was the turn of variable income instruments and it is expected that in September of 2017, it will be time for fixed income instruments. Ahorro Corporación Financiera S.V., S.A.U. has successfully participated in the entire adaptation process for the new system and it is preparing to face the changes in terms of the fixed income environment. Likewise, the 2017 fiscal period will be crucial for the adaptation of the new MIFID II Directive which will come into effect in January of something which will pose a great challenge for all those who participate in securities markets, as well as for companies that provide investment services. 2. MAIN FIGURES FROM THE 2016 FISCAL PERIOD During the 2016 fiscal period, Ahorro Corporación Financiera S.V., S.A.U. had losses of 750,000 euros. The main cause for this negative result was the evolution of trading volumes on financial markets (mainly domestic markets). However, during the 2016 fiscal period ACF was able to consolidate a solid equity base and very comfortable levels of liquidity; thus, it can work on accomplishing the aim of achieving returns which are sustainable over time. The Company has solvency levels which are much higher than the regulatory requirements. From the 2016 fiscal period, the following significant events stand out: Sale process of 100% of ACF, SV, S.A.U. shares and of ACF International Inc. Transfer of the subsidiary Vehículo de Tenencia y Gestión 3, S.L.U. (V3) from ACF to Ahorro Corporación S.A. 6

100 3. STRATEGIC PILLARS FOR THE PERIOD a. Ahorro Corporación Group's downsizing plan The Group's Board of Directors, with the support of the executive team, put an action plain into place (in the middle of the 2014 fiscal period) with the aim of undertaking downsizing within the Group so that it could obtain sustainable profits in the best interest of its shareholders, employees, clients, and providers. Said plan had different phases which had to be undertaken in a certain order over time: disinvestment, strategic definition, adjustment plan. Lastly, during the 2016 fiscal period, a competitive process was put into place for the sale of the Group's core business, held by the securities company. Said process culminated in the sale of Ahorro Corporación Financiera, S.V., S.A.U. to StormHarbour Partners. As of November 8, 2016, Ahorro Corporación, S.A. signed a sales contract for 100% of the shares it held in ACF, S.V., S.A.U. with the British group, StormHarbour Partners. The sale of this company likewise means the sale of its American subsidiary, ACF International Inc. Subsequently, on February 16, 2017, an Addendum to said sale agreement was firmed which modified and/or included new clauses for the initial agreement. The sale is subject to two conditions: Approval of the sale by the General Assembly of Shareholders of Ahorro Corporación, S.A. a condition which was met during the 2016 fiscal period. No objection to the transfer by the National Securities Market Commission pending. It is estimated that this second condition will not be met until the second quarter of i. Disinvestments The year 2016 brought an end to the disinvestment process started in 2014 by the Ahorro Corporación Group with the sale of Ahorro Corporación Financiera, S.V., S.A.U. Additionally, the disinvestment process for the trading derivatives portfolio has continued. The first round of derivative transaction assignments or maturities took place during the last quarter of the 2015 fiscal period. These transactions have allowed us to reduce the derivatives figure for the trading portfolio on the balance sheet by 282 million euros and it also reduced the lending investments figure by an approximate amount of 105 million due to reduced provision of collateral guarantees. During the 2016 fiscal period, the majority of positions were able to be closed so that, as of December 31, 2016, the derivative figure for the trading portfolio on the balance sheet came to 81 million euros (compared to 363 million euros at the close of the 2015 fiscal period), and the "other lines of credit in favor of financial intermediaries" value, inside "lending investments," came to 6 million (compared to 111 million at the close of the 2015 fiscal period). Assignment of the last outstanding transactions is being finalized and, once complete, there will be a very significant effect on the ACF balance sheet and on the consolidated balance sheet -- both of which will see substantial reductions. 7

101 ii. Contribution to equity As of December 31, 2016, Ahorro Corporación, S.A. transferred, to ACF, the Corporate Services Unit (made up solely of assets, labor relationships held with Group employees who provided their services for ACF, and labor liabilities) as well as certain brands and domain names that belonged to Ahorro Corporación, S.A. This was done through Ahorro Corporación, S.A.'s contribution to the Company's equity. The main implications of said contribution for ACF were that: The tangible assets contributed by Ahorro Corporación were recorded on the ACF balance sheet for the net carrying amount that they had at the parent company, being posted to "Total Equity - Shareholder Contributions." The intangible assets received, despite having been assessed by an expert, were not recorded on the ACF balance sheet. The provision for restructuring assumed in relationship with the contingent risks of Ahorro Corporación was recorded in the liabilities of ACF, being posted to the profit and loss statement. iii. Company structure During the 2015 and 2016 fiscal periods, the company structure of Ahorro Corporación, S.A. Group was simplified. This diagram reflects the structure as of December 31, 2016 (prior to the sale of ACF): AHORRO CORPORACIÓN, S.A.
