The activities of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations derive from

its original mission as the legal depository for private funds that the

French legislature wanted to safeguard by ensuring that they were

managed in a way guaranteeing their protection.

The management of these funds, which are used to finance pub-

lic-interest investments and assist local development in France, also

led Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations to become a major player

in financial markets, which it does today through specialized sub-

sidiaries subject to market conditions.

This entity forms a public and decentralized Group, carrying out its

business in France and internationally, specialized in financial acti-

vities and services governed by public fiduciary obligations or exer-

cised freely in the competitive sector.

Public-interest missions

• Management of passbook savings accounts and financing for

public housing;

• Fiduciary management of major public retirement programs from

its decentralized offices in Angers and Bordeaux;

• Regulated banking and financial activities;

• Support for local development, urban policy, job creation and small

and medium-sized businesses.

Competitive businesses

• Finance activities under the auspices of EULIA, the holding com-

pany providing strategic governance for the competitive businesses

of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations and the Caisses d’Epargne

Group, in particular:

–investment banking activities with the CDC IXIS Group: capital

markets and financing, asset management (financial, real estate

and private equity), banking and securities services;

– insurance and guaranty activities;

– real estate activities, mainly with Crédit Foncier de France Group;

• Life insurance with CNP Assurances;

• Services and engineering for local development in France with the

subsidiaries of C3D.

For purposes of accounting and financial presentation, Caisse des

Dépôts Group’s activities are divided according to their two princi-

pal missions:

• the fiduciary management of the funds entrusted to Caisse des

Dépôts et Consignations according to the rules defining the nature

of the services provided and the related financial conditions.

These funds are managed individually and include, in particular,

the Savings Funds centralized with Caisse des Dépôts et

Consignations and the management of public retirement funds;

• the direct activity performed by the Central Sector – Caisse des

Dépôts et Consignations’ financial and administrative entity, ma-

naged separately from the operations under mandate – and by

affiliated Groups, notably EULIA, CDC IXIS, C3D and CNP

Assurances, in France and internationally. This activity alone is

considered to constitute a group for the purpose of preparing con-

solidated financial statements drawn up in accordance with

accounting standards applicable to credit institutions.

The consolidating entity is the Central Sector and, depending on

the level of control, subsidiaries are consolidated under the full or

proportional method, or accounted for by the equity method.

This distinction is evidenced by the exclusion of the Savings Funds

and Retirement Funds from the scope of consolidation. Their finan-

cial statements are presented separately.

Notion of Group


Introductory note

The activities of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations comprise two

main missions:

• the direct business of the Central Sector – the financial and admi-

nistrative entity of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations which is

managed separately from the operations under mandate – and of

the subsidiaries and long-term equity holdings attached to it, nota-

bly EULIA, the C3D and CNP Assurances groups, and the Caisse

des Dépôts et Consignations departments that have been spun off

into subsidiaries. Following the agreement with the Caisses

d’Epargne savings banks signed in June 2001, Caisse des Dépôts

et Consignations’ competitive financial subsidiaries have been

brought together, through EULIA, with the national subsidiaries of

the Caisses d’Epargne, which are consolidated by the proportio-

nal method;

• the management of the funds entrusted to it. The accounting

structure of Caisse des Dépôts reflects the nature of the relation-

ships existing between the Public Institution and these funds. A

series of legal, regulatory and contractual documents defines the

nature of the services provided by Caisse des Dépôts and their

remuneration. The accounting systems used make it possible to

identify the resources of each fund, their uses and the earnings

generated. Therefore, a balance sheet and an income statement

are drawn up for each fund. These funds, which consist mainly of

Savings Funds centralized by Caisse des Dépôts, include deposits

taken on the Livret A passbooks of the Caisses d’Epargne, Livrets

d’Epargne Populaire passbooks for low-income savers, the Livret

Bleu passbooks of Crédit Mutuel and the deposits collected by La

Poste (Livret A, Livret B and CNE home-purchase savings plans),

as well as deposits on Codevi accounts. This mission also includes

the management of retirement funds and other organizations.

This section presents financial information relating tothe first of these missions:• the audited consolidated balance sheet and income statement of

Caisse des Dépôts Group;

• the audited balance sheet and income statement of the Central

Sector reporting Caisse des Dépôts’ own activities.

Audit of the financial statements

Although not a legal requirement given its status, Caisse des Dépôts

has chosen to have its financial statements audited in accordance

with ordinary law in order to guarantee that the accounting and

financial information provided is of the quality and transparency

required by the nature and volume of its activities.

The independent auditors have issued unqualified audit opinions

on the 2002 financial statements of the Central Sector and the

consolidated financial statements of the Caisse des Dépôts Group.

This is also the case, in particular, for the accounts of the Savings

Funds, and of the CDC IXIS, C3D and CNP Assurances Groups.

These accounts have been published separately.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsHighlights

The Caisse des Dépôts Group recorded consolidated net income

of €710 million in 2002, down 49% relative to the 2001 proforma

result.

This sharp decrease in net income was largely due to the severe

financial market downturn as well as the non-recurring income reflec-

ted in the 2001 results, including capital gains on the disposal of

shares of CNP Assurances, CDC IXIS and Sicovam. In response to

the market contraction, and consistent with its usual prudent stra-

tegy, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations and its financial subsi-

diaries significantly increased the provisions on their long-term equity

portfolios. Thus the Central Sector alone allocated a net €928 mil-

lion to provisions for the securities in the portfolios.

In the first half of 2002, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations wrote

back €259 million from the Fund for General Banking Risks (FGBR).

This amount corresponded to allocations to the FGBR made in the

years 1998 through 2000, reflecting prudent portfolio management

by the Public Institution, given the non-recurring nature of a portion

of its results during the market bubble.

After analyzing the business climate, Caisse des Dépôts et

Consignations also wrote down several assets. Exceptional amor-

tization was taken on the goodwill arising from the October 2000

acquisition of CDC IXIS Asset Management North America (formerly

Nvest). This exceptional amortization trimmed €155 million from

the Group’s consolidated net income. An additional €71 million

write down of deferred tax assets (group share) was also made.

Aside from market-related influences, changes within the Group

affected the 2002 results:

• C3D Group’s contribution to net banking income was up sharply,

as this subsidiary continued its selective expansion strategy. Some

of the highlights during the year included the partnership agree-

ment between Transdev and RATP, the successful cash takeover

bid by Compagnie des Alpes on Grévin & Co., and the acquisi-

tion of ELLUL, a real estate development company.

• The insurance division, with gains driven by CNP Assurances and

its subsidiary Caixa Seguros, whose results were consolidated

for a full year in the 2002 financial statements.

Finally, CDC IXIS refocused on its core business last year while EULIA

was effectively established.

Income Statement

Net banking income (NBI) contracted by 6.7% to €4,785 million in

2002, compared with €5,131 million the previous year. This decline

was due in large part to the establishment of provisions for the

Central Sector’s securities portfolio, specifically the non-recurring

portion of the allocation. Adjusting for these non-recurring provi-

sions, which involved mainly the TMT and insurance sectors, NBI

totaled €5,559 million, up 8% relative to 2001.

This increase in NBI, excluding non-recurring items, reflects the

increased revenues of several units:

• CNP Assurances, whose consolidated revenues rose by 6.2% on

the year, underpinning a €698 million contribution to NBI of Caisse

des Dépôts Group;

• C3D Group, whose consolidated revenues increased by 23%

through organic growth and the integration of new entities, contri-

buted €1,779 million to NBI.

• Several EULIA entities, in particular Crédit Foncier de France,

where customer loan volumes enjoyed sustained growth and

which benefited from favorable interest rate trends.

Gross income from operations totaled €1,145 million, down 40% rela-

tive to 2001. Given the aforementioned non-recurring items, this decline

reflects the increase in operating expenses and net amortization

charges of 12,7% in the year, a total of €410 million largely as a result

of the expanded consolidation scope (CNCE’s financial activities contri-

buted to CDC IXIS, CNP Assurances with Caixa Seguros, C3D with

Grévin and ELLUL) and the absence of large-scale write-backs from

provisions as in 2001 (euro, Y2K, creation of CDC IXIS).

Net recurring income before income tax contracted by 46% to

€1,133 million, exacerbating the decline in gross income from ope-

rations on account of the absence of income from fixed asset dis-

posals, which were significant in 2001.

Income tax fell by €180 million, given the decline in pretax income

and the tax-exempt status of FGBR write-backs.

The exceptional goodwill amortization recorded on CDC IXIS AM

North America assets led to the sharp increase in goodwill amorti-

zation, which totaled €232 million in 2002, compared with €69 mil-

lion the previous year.

In 2002, €266 million were written back to income from the FGBR

whereas in 2001, €62 million were transferred to this fund. This

change resulted mainly from the decision to write back €259 mil-

lion from the FGBR to the Central Sector income statement.

Lastly, the group share of consolidated net income totaled €710

million. The Central Sector and its direct subsidiaries (the Caisse

des Dépôts et Consignations division) contributed €227 million,

EULIA - CDC IXIS added €142 million, C3D Group accounted

for €107 million and CNP Group contributed €234 million.

The Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations division’s contribu-

tion fell by 64% compared to 2001, or by 7.9% after adjus-

ting for non-recurring items. Although at €571 million, the

CNP Assurances Group’s published consolidated net income

was up by a substantial 8.1% on 2001 recurring net income,

its contribution was down 6% given the non-recurring items

recorded the previous year. C3D Group, on the other hand,

saw its contribution to consolidated net income rise by 43%.

EULIA’s contribution fell by 68% because of its CDC IXIS sub-

sidiary. The unfavorable market conditions in 2002 had a sub-

stantial negative impact on CDC IXIS, which established major

provisions on its equity portfolio, wrote down the value of its

CDC IXIS AM North America asset management subsidiary

and reduced its disposal program for marketable securities.

It should be noted, however, that several EULIA subsidiaries

recorded clear gains, including Crédit Foncier de France,

Ecureuil Vie, Ecureuil IARD and EULIA Caution...

Balance SheetTotal consolidated assets increased by €21 billion to €349 billion

in 2002, a 6.4% increase on the year.

Unlike in 2001, the increase in total assets did not result from any

changes in consolidation scope.

On the asset side, interbank transaction volume rose by 7.6% to

€129 billion, driven higher by the contributions from CDC IXIS and

Martignac Finance. Their interbank loan volume increased by €3.9

billion and €6.9 billion, respectively. Martignac Finance disposed

of its bond portfolio and followed up by developing its interbank len-

ding business.

Customer transaction volume rose by €4.0 billion, or 13%, to

€34.5 billion. The Central Sector accounted for €1.9 billion of this

increase, driven by substantially higher transaction volume from

Acoss and a €0.9 billion increase in the CFF contribution relative to

the previous year. With a €1.2 billion increase in customer tran-

saction volume, CDC IXIS has demonstrated the rapid growth of

its financing activities.

The securities portfolio totaled €83.6 billion, up 2.6% from €81.5

billion.

Insurance company investments rose by €3.3 billion, or 5.5% com-

pared to the previous year. CNP Assurances accounted for all of this

increase through a 6.2% increase in revenues (net premium income).

Higher revenues automatically result in increased investments.

On the liabilities side, interbank transaction volume rose by 9.3% to

reach €126.7 billion. The Central Sector and CDC IXIS CM contri-

buted €3.9 billion and €5.4 billion, respectively, to this increase. The

heightened reliance on interbank resources was due to the refinan-

cing strategy of these entities and the especially favorable market

conditions characterized by historically low interest rates.

The nearly 9.0% decrease in customer transactions, or €4.3 billion,

was due for the most part to the contraction in the Central Sector’s

volume of ordinary deposits. Customer transactions totaled €43.7

billion.

Debt securities increased by 18.9%, or €8.2 billion, to €51.2 bil-

lion as of December 31, 2002, compared with €43 billion one year

earlier. CDC IXIS and CFF accounted for the bulk of this increase,

adding €6.1 billion and €2.1 billion, respectively. In the former case,

the increase involved the issuance of negotiable debt securities; in

the latter, obligations foncières covered bonds issued by Compagnie

de Financement Foncier, a subsidiary of CFF, to back the Group’s

commercial development.

Insurance company technical reserves totaled €60.8 million as of

December 31, 2002, compared with €57.7 billion the previous year.

CNP Assurances accounted for €60.5 billion of these reserves. Last

year’s 5.3% increase in technical reserves, a total of €3.1 billion, reflec-

ted the growth in CNP Assurances’ revenues.

After taking into account the group’s share of net income for the

year (€710 million), dividends paid during the year (€925 million)

and other changes (a reduction of €226 million, of which €243 mil-

lion attributable to the change in foreign currency translation reserves

due mainly to the U.S. subsidiaries) Caisse des Dépôts Group’s

share of shareholders' equity excluding the FGBR totaled

€12.5 billion.



Accounting Principles used in preparing the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements of Caisse des Dépôts GroupThe consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accor-

dance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to

French banking and financial institutions.

Principal Policies for accounting andpresentation of the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

1 – Alliance between Caisse des Dépôts Groupand Caisse d’Epargne GroupOn July 26, 2001, the Caisse d’Epargne Group and Caisse des

Dépôts Group signed an agreement in principle to combine their

competitive financial businesses (retail banking, investment ban-

king and financing, insurance and real estate), thus taking a deci-

sive step forward toward strengthening their existing partnership.

This combination was realized through the contribution of the two

Groups’ competitive businesses to EULIA, a joint venture, as well

as CNCE’s contribution of its Finance division to CDC IXIS.

All these contributions were made effective December 31, 2001.

The shareholders’ agreement dated December 20, 2001 stipu-

lates the framework of the renewed partnership. EULIA is to pro-

vide strategic direction for the Alliance, notably concerning its busi-

ness strategy, national and international expansion and the

implementation of synergies.

Given the structure of the transaction and the existence of an agree-

ment between the shareholders of EULIA extending an existing part-

nership, Caisse des Dépôts and CNCE chose to avail themselves

of the provisions of Regulation 2000-08 issued by Comité de la

Réglementation Comptable (CRC). This adapts Article 215

(“Alternative method”) of CRC regulation 99-07 to transactions resul-

ting in the joint control of an undertaking by pooling activities car-

ried on beforehand under the shareholders’ common control.

Given that the above consists in a pooling of interests, EULIA and

its subsidiaries have been proportionally consolidated in the conso-

lidated financial statements prepared by Caisse des Dépôts

and CNCE.

2 – Comparability of the financial statementsFor comparative purposes, a 2001 proforma income statement was

prepared that factors in the impact of the EULIA transactions as if

they had been made effective January 1 of that year.

Thus the 2001 proforma income statement integrates the compa-

nies contributed by the Caisse d’Epargne Group, changes in per-

centage holdings as well as changes in the consolidation methods

resulting from the Alliance transactions.

Elements permitting comparisons to be made between the publi-

shed and proforma consolidated financial statements for the year

ended December 31, 2001 are provided in Note 36.

In addition, some commissions related to asset management activi-

ties were reclassified in 2002. In accordance with the Banking

Commission’s March 28, 2002 Regulation 2002-02, expenses rela-

ted to discounts on financial services commissions are now entered

under net banking income to the extent that the discount is offered in

exchange for a volume of business or a recurring service brought in

by new business providers and that the establishment has no direct

ties to the client. Concurrent with this change in presentation, several

commissions related to securities transactions (custodian fees, account

management and valuation fees, etc.) previously entered under ope-

rating expenses were reclassified under commission expenses.

In order to maintain the comparability of the financial information

reported in prior years, the impact of this reclassification is detailed

in Note 36.

Finally, the Caisse des Dépôts Group’s application of the CRC’s

December 7, 2000 regulation 2000-06 relating to liabilities had no

material impact on the retained earnings at the beginning of the

period on January 1, 2002 and has no bearing on the comparabi-

lity of the reported consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation Principles and Policies

1 – Consolidation methods and scope of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the

Central Sector of Caisse des Dépôts, the consolidated accounts

of the sub-groups and the accounts of subsidiaries, whenever their

consolidation is material to the consolidated accounts of the enti-

ties included in the scope of the consolidation.

Those companies whose contribution to the results of the sub-

group to which they belong is considered material, and newly for-

med or acquired companies for which strong growth is expected,

are also consolidated.

➔ Full consolidationUndertakings over which the Group exercises full control and whose

activity is either of a financial nature or an extension of the Group’s

activities are fully consolidated.

Full control is defined as the ability of an undertaking to direct the

financial and operational policies of another undertaking with a view

to gaining economic benefits from its activities.

It results from the ownership of more than one half of the voting

rights of an undertaking, or from the appointment for two succes-

sive years of more than one half of the members of the governing

bodies, or from the power to exert a dominant influence by virtue

of company bylaws or agreements.

➔ Proportional consolidationCompanies over which the Group exercises joint control are pro-

portionally consolidated. Joint control is defined as sharing the

control of an undertaking jointly run by a limited number of partners

or shareholders, such that the financial and operating policies result

from their agreement.

➔ Equity method consolidationUndertakings over which significant influence is exerted are accoun-

ted for under the equity method. Significant influence results from the

ability to take part in determining the financial and operational policies

of an undertaking without exercising control.

➔ Special case of ad hoc entitiesWhen the Group or a group company controls an undertaking in

substance, notably by virtue of contractual agreements or provisions

in company bylaws, the undertaking is consolidated even if there is

no ownership of shares. The existence of control in substance is

assessed using the following criteria, as defined by CRC regulation

99-07: decision-making and management powers in respect of the

daily operations of a special purpose entity ad hoc or in respect of

its assets; and the ability to obtain the majority or all of the econo-

mic benefits and be exposed to a majority of the risks.

Entities that carry out their activities under a fiduciary relationship,

where management is carried out on behalf of third parties and in

the interest of the various parties involved, are not consolidated.

The following types of companies are not consolidated: semipublic

companies (SEMs and SAIEMs) and public housing corporations

(HLMs), for which access to their assets and profits is restricted. As

regards insurance activities, controlled pooled investment vehicles

and transparent companies with property rental activities represen-

ting policyholder liabilities are not consolidated.

The accounts of consolidated entities are generally prepared to

December 31. Companies preparing their accounts more than three

months before or after this date are consolidated using interim

accounts as of December 31.

2 – Changes in the scope of consolidationAs of December 31, 2002, the scope of consolidation comprised the

Central Sector of Caisse des Dépôts, 18 ad hoc entities (of which five

mutual funds and similar entities), a debt securitization fund and 837

other direct and indirect subsidiaries, for an overall total of 857 enti-

ties, compared with 795 entities one year earlier.

The most significant consolidation changes at Caisse des Dépôts

last year were as follows:

• the acquisition of the 7.23% equity interest in BDPME previously

held by Banques Populaires Group;

• the reorganization of the IT Economic Interest Grouping, which

resulted in the sale of a 60% interest in Informatique CDC to CDC

IXIS and CNP Assurances in equal measure;

• the consolidation of the CDC PME Croissance investment fund.

The main changes in the scope of consolidation at the level of the

sub-groups are indicated below:

➔ EULIA sub-group• Sale of CFF Group’s 20.9% interest in SIMCO to Gecina;

• Consolidation of the Teddy debt securitization fund.

➔ CDC IXIS sub-group• Sale of Compagnie EMGP to C3D Group;

• Merger of CDC IXIS with SPID and transformation of CDC GmbH

into a branch of CDC IXIS;

• Consolidation of new controlled ad hoc entities, including the CLEA

2 securitization entity;

• Exclusion from the scope of consolidation of ad hoc entities control-

led by CIFG, whose consolidation would not present a fair pic-

ture. This involves mainly ad hoc entities controlled by the CIFG

sub-group in the context of their insurance activities;

• Acquisition of 38.6% of Nexgen Financial Holdings Group on

December 11, 2002. Given the absence of any material impact

on the Group’s 2002 financial statements, this entity will be conso-

lidated starting in 2003.

➔ C3D sub-group• Following a cash takeover bid, Compagnie des Alpes Group took

control of Grévin et Compagnie, which is now fully consolidated;

• Acquisition from CDC IXIS Group of Compagnie EMGP, which at

year-end is fully consolidated;

• Acquisition by Capri from the Caisse d’Epargne Languedoc

Roussillon of an equity interest in ELLUL, which resulted in the full

consolidation of 36 companies.

➔ CNP Assurances sub-groupNo material transactions were made in 2002.

3 – GoodwillWhen an undertaking is consolidated for the first time, the difference

between the cost of acquisition of the shares and the total restated

value of the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items constitutes

goodwill on acquisition.

The difference between the value retained for an item in the consoli-

dated balance sheet and its carrying value in the individual balance

sheet of the acquired undertaking constitutes a fair value adjustment.

These differences are amortized, written down or written back to

income using the rules normally applicable to the corresponding items.

Goodwill on acquisition, which may be positive or negative, is amor-

tized through the income statement over a period that reflects the

assumptions made and the objectives set at the time of the acquisi-

tion, but does not exceed 20 years.

If material unfavorable changes occur affecting the assumptions on

which the amortization schedule is based, the rate of amortization of

goodwill on acquisition is increased.

4 – Deferred taxesDeferred taxes are recognized when a temporary difference is iden-

tified between the restated carrying amount and the tax base of

assets and liabilities.

They are calculated using the liability method, whereby deferred

taxes from prior years are adjusted to account for changes in tax

rates. The corresponding impact is recognized under deferred tax

in the consolidated income statement.

The deferred tax rates applied in 2002 for France were 35.43% for

the full rate and 20.20% for the reduced rate. These rates were

unchanged from 2001.

Deferred taxes are calculated separately for each tax entity. In accor-

dance with the rule of prudence, deferred tax assets are recogni-

zed only if there is a strong likelihood that they may be set against

future tax liabilities.

5 – Foreign currency translationBalance sheet items and off-balance sheet commitments of foreign

companies are translated at the year-end rates, with the exception

of equity capital, which is maintained at the historical rate. Income

statements are translated on the basis of the average exchange

rates during the year. The resulting differences are entered in conso-

lidated reserves under “Translation reserve”.

54



6 – Intra-group transactionsIntra-group accounts as well as income and expenses resulting

from transactions within the Group are eliminated on consolidation

when they are material and whenever they relate to fully or propor-

tionally consolidated subsidiaries.

Securities issued by group companies are also eliminated from the

balance sheet if they are not part of the trading portfolio.

7 – Rental and leasing transactions with purchase option and lease-financed goodsRental and leasing transactions are entered in the company

accounts according to their legal nature.

Under accounting regulations, transactions that are in fact compa-

rable to credit transactions must be restated in the consolidated finan-

cial statements in such a way as to recognize their economic purpose.

Rental and leasing transactions with a purchase option are the-

refore entered on the consolidated balance sheet with the out-

standing amount determined using the so-called financial method.

The unrealized reserve, which consists of the difference between

the reported amortization and the financial amortization of the

invested capital, is entered in consolidated reserves net of defer-

red taxes.

Fixed assets acquired through a lease or similar agreement are resta-

ted for the purpose of consolidation and entered on the balance

sheet as if they had been acquired through borrowing.

Presentation and accounting Policies– Banking and financial Activities

1 – Income statement itemsInterest and commissions classified as such are recorded on an

accruals basis. Commissions not classified as interest are recor-

ded on a cash basis.

2 – Foreign currency denominated transactionsForeign currency denominated assets, liabilities and off-balance

sheet commitments have been translated at exchange rates on

December 31, 2002.

Currency gains and losses from ordinary currency transactions are

recorded in the income statement.

Spot foreign exchange transactions are valued at the spot rate.

Forward currency transactions, other than hedging, are valued at

the rate for the remaining period. Forward currency transactions for

hedging purposes are valued by symmetry with the item hedged.

Premiums and discounts related to hedged forward currency tran-

sactions are taken as income and expenses over the period remai-

ning until the maturity of these transactions.

3 – Advances and loans to financial institutionsand customersThese items include loans, overdrafts and securities purchased

under collateralized and uncollateralized fixed resale agreements.

➔ LoansLoans are recorded as assets in the balance sheet at redemption value.

Accrued interest is recognized as income over the life of the loan.

Loans with non-collection risks are transferred to non-performing loans,

generally when unpaid due amounts are more than three months old.

Provisions are made against the interest and capital on these loans after

taking into account the type of collateral received.

➔ Securities purchased under collateralized and uncollateralized fixed resale agreementsThese securities are recorded as assets in the balance sheet on the

line representing the receivable arising from the transaction. The

corresponding income is recognized on a time basis. Securities

received as collateral and subsequently sold are recorded as liabi-

lities and valued at market value.

4 – Securities and securities transactionsSecurities are classified under accounting categories correspon-

ding to the institution’s activities.

➔ Trading securitiesTrading securities include in particular treasury bills and negotiable

debt securities. They are expected to be held for periods not excee-

ding six months. They are highly liquid and are marked to market.

Valuation differences are recognized in the income statement.

When the Group is in a market-making position and the secu-

rity is actively traded, these securities may be held in the tra-

ding portfolio beyond the regulatory period of six months. This

is also the case when these securities are under specialized

management to hedge instruments valued on a marked-to-

market basis.

➔ Available-for-sale securitiesAvailable-for-sale securities represent securities that are not to

be held until maturity or for trading purposes. They also include,

except in the case of market-making activities, trading securities

reclassified after being held for a period of more than six months.

In this case, the reclassification is made at market value on the

date of the transfer.

Available-for-sale securities are treated according to the FIFO

method and are valued as follows:

– Bonds and equities: unrealized losses calculated based on their

year-end closing price are taken to expenses through a provision

for impairment;

– Treasury bills, negotiable debt securities, and interbank instru-

ments: provisions are made on the basis of the individual situa-

tion of the issuer and market indicators.

Any premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are writ-

ten off over the residual life of the asset on a yield-to-maturity basis

for negotiable debt securities and on a straightline basis for other

securities.

➔ Investment securitiesThis portfolio comprises fixed-income securities that are intended

to be held until maturity, and financed with dedicated long-term

resources or covered through hedging instruments.

Unrealized capital losses resulting from differences between book

and market values are not covered by provisions. However, if appli-

cable, counterparty risks are taken into account in determining the

value of these securities at year-end. The difference between the

acquisition price and the redemption value of the securities (pre-

mium or discount) is amortized using the yield-to-maturity method

for negotiable debt securities and the straight-line method for other

securities.

➔ Medium-term portfolio securities (TAP)Medium-term portfolio securities are investments made on a regu-

lar basis with the aim of realizing a capital gain in the medium term

but without the intention of investing on a long-term basis in the deve-

lopment of the business or taking an active part in the operational

management of the issuing undertaking.

These securities are recorded at cost.

A provision is taken in respect of any permanent impairment in the

value of the security due to a fundamental deterioration in the under-

taking’s position.

Fair value is determined taking into account the general economic

outlook for the issuer and the remaining period for which the secu-

rities will be held. It is calculated using a multi-criteria approach,

with a predominant role given to the market price over a sufficiently

long term.

➔ Other long-term securities (ATDLT)No securities are held by the Group that would be classified under

this accounting category.

➔ Non-consolidated equity securitiesNon-consolidated equity securities are recorded at acquisition cost.

They are valued on the basis of their fair value, with reference to

various criteria such as net assets, potential return, and capitaliza-

tion of earnings. Provisions are constituted to reflect any perma-

nent impairment.

➔ Lending and borrowing of securitiesSecurities are valued using the rules applicable to the portfolio of

origin.

Borrowed securities are recorded as an asset under trading secu-

rities at their market value on the day they were borrowed, and as

a liability to recognize the debt towards the lender. They are valued

on the basis of their year-end market value.

Loans and borrowings guaranteed by cash and notes are treated

in the same way as collateralized resale agreements.

Income from these transactions is recognized on an accruals basis

in the income statement.

➔ Issues indexed on fund performanceThese consist in structured issues, the most often with a zero cou-

pon in fine, that are indexed on fund performance. The index is hed-

ged by the purchase of units in the fund whose performance accrues

entirely to the subscribers at maturity.

The overall financial engineering margin on these transactions

is estimated by reference to the market value of the units in the

fund and the present value of future cash flows relating to these

issues as well as to future management expenses. As required

by applicable regulations, extremely prudent assumptions are

used regarding early redemption when the valuation is based on

models.

5 – Forward financial instrumentsIn application of the strategy defined for the development of its tra-

ding activities and the management of market risks, Caisse des

Dépôts Group operates on all organized and over-the-counter mar-

kets for interest rate, currency and securities futures and options.

In France as well as abroad, these transactions are entered into as

part of specific or general hedging, or in connection with speciali-

zed management of trading portfolios.

For all of these instruments, whatever the management policy pur-

sued, the face value of the futures and options contracts, the value

of the underlying assets, or the exercise price is recorded off-balance

sheet.

The method of accounting for charges and revenues on these ins-

truments depends on the management policy pursued.

➔ Interest rate and currency swaps• Hedging transactions: charges and revenues resulting from

hedging instruments (taken singly or as a homogeneous

group) are recognized symmetrically with the revenues and

charges resulting from the transaction hedged. Charges and

revenues on forward instruments qualified as general interest

rate hedges are recorded on an accruals basis through the

income statement.

• Specialized portfolio management transactions: contracts are

valued at year-end at their market value. In accordance with regu-

lations, the market value takes into account an adjustment for

counterparty risks and the discounted value of future manage-

ment costs. The total net valuation difference is recognized in the

income statement.

➔ Other interest rate and currency transactionsThese transactions relate primarily to futures and options.

• Hedging transactions: charges or revenues are recognized in the

income statement on a symmetrical basis with the revenues or

charges on the transaction hedged.

• Other transactions: these transactions are marked to market.

Unrealized gains or losses at year-end are recognized in the income

statement.

In order to give a fair view of the value of these instruments, those

that are not highly liquid are also valued by reference to their theo-

retical market value.

➔ Complex transactionsComplex transactions are synthetic combinations of instruments

of various types, characteristics and pricing methods.

Each component of the transaction is recorded on- or off-balance

sheet according to the nature of the underlying.

The result is considered globally and recorded through one entry

reflecting the economic nature of the transactions, as if they were

a single instrument. In the case of totally new products, when not

governed by explicit regulation, the accounting approach for reco-

gnition of any gains and losses is based on similar existing products.

The method of accounting for gains and losses depends on the

management policy pursued:

• Hedging transactions: for reasons of prudence, notably when

market liquidity is low, results are recorded on an accruals basis.

A provision is made when market value is negative.

56



• Trading portfolio or transaction for which the result can be consi-

dered as an arrangement fee: the result is recognized when the

transaction is initiated. A discount is applied to take into account

future management expenses and possible counterparty risks.

➔ Credit derivativesCredit derivatives are instruments whose purpose is to transfer the

credit risk in respect of an asset from one counterparty to another,

generally in exchange for a premium paid at the outset or by in-

stallments. In the case of events predefined in the related contract,

known as credit events, the seller of the cover is called upon to bear

the cost under the terms defined in the contract.

There are three categories of credit derivatives: “Credit Default

Swaps”, “Total Rate of Return Swaps” and “Credit Linked Notes”

that can be likened to options, interest rate swaps and securities

swaps, respectively.

In the absence of a specific accounting text, the accounting

approach for credit derivatives is based on their analogy to existing

products with which they can be likened and taking into account

the management policy being pursued:

• Hedging transactions: charges and revenue are recognized sym-

metrically with the revenue and charges on the transaction hed-

ged;

• Isolated open position transactions undertaken as part of a long-

term holding: the result is booked on an accruals basis. A provi-

sion is made against unrealized losses.

• Specialized portfolio management transaction: when market liqui-

dity for the derivative is ensured, contracts are valued at market

price with a discount applied to take into account possible coun-

terparty risks and the present value of future management expenses.

Otherwise, contracts are valued using the applicable regulations for

the underlying transactions, which involves valuing them at cost

and, where necessary, establishing a provision for impairment.

➔ Market valuesWhen the market price of the instruments or the valuation para-

meters are not officially listed, alternative valuation methods are

used, making reference to one or more of the following compo-

nents: price confirmation by brokers or outside counterparties,

comparison with actual transactions and research by issuer or

instrument category.

When the instruments are valued using models, these integrate

the parameters that affect the valuation of the instruments, in par-

ticular the liquidity level of the related markets. Applying a prudent

approach, the calculations are adjusted to take account of the

weaknesses of some of these parameters, in particular their rele-

vance over a long period.

6 – Tangible and intangible fixed assetsFixed assets are valued at cost. In the case of buildings, initial fix-

tures, fittings and installation expenditure may be added to the cost

of acquisition.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method and accor-

ding to the type and quality of the building, over its estimated use-

ful life. Thus, buildings are depreciated over 20 to 50 years. Partial

renovation work on old buildings is depreciated over periods of bet-

ween 15 and 25 years.

Installations, improvements and fittings are generally written off over

10 years.

Market shares acquired are not amortized. They are, however, per-

iodically subjected to an impairment test based on the valuation of

the benefits arising from the competitive position held.

As for insurance activities, the fair value of the contracts portfolio,

which corresponds to the estimated present value of future distri-

butable profits attributable to the portfolio at the time of the acqui-

sition, is amortized for like groups of contracts using a schedule that

is updated regularly and reflects the flow of future profits over a rea-

sonable period.

As a general rule, software is written off over 3 years, with a maxi-

mum of 5 years.

Forests are subject to provisions for impairment as required. In the

event of an irreversible loss, an exceptional depreciation charge is

taken for the amount of the loss.

7 – Investment property risksCaisse des Dépôts Group owns a large portfolio of rental proper-

ties held as long-term investments.

Market values are determined regularly by independent appraisers.

A provision is made for any permanent impairment in value of these

properties, representing the difference between carrying value and

market value.

8 – Advances and loans from financial institutions and customer depositsThese liabilities include deposits, loans and securities sold under

collateralized and uncollateralized fixed repurchase agreements.

➔ LoansLoans are recorded in the balance sheet at redemption value and

accrued interest is charged to the income statement over the life of

the loan.

➔ Securities sold under collateralized fixed repurchase agreementsThe debt is recorded under liabilities. The securities are maintained in

their original portfolio and valued according to the rules applicable to

that portfolio. The corresponding interest is recognized as it is accrued.

9 – Debt securitiesDebt securities are reported according to the type of security: inter-

bank and money market instruments (commercial paper, certifi-

cates of deposit and medium-term notes), bonds and similar debt

securities.

Accrued interest is recorded on the same balance sheet line as the

debt security and is charged to the income statement.

Commissions on the issue of debt securities and any premiums on

their issue or redemption are allocated to the income statement on

a straight-line basis over the life of the securities.

10 – Provisions for risks and chargesThis heading includes:

– provisions for country risk, which are determined based on an

appraisal of the risk carried by the Group in the respective coun-

tries or borrowers in those countries; the appraisal criteria are

generally based on an assessment of the country’s economic,

financial and socio-political situation;

– provisions for sector risks and general provisions to cover losses

whose realization and valuation is uncertain;

– provisions for charges arising from the implementation of a new

labor agreement and the undertaking to provide retirement

indemnities.

– provisions for risks and charges not related to banking transac-

tions, established in accordance with the terms of CRC regula-

tion 2000-06 regarding accounting for liabilities. These provisions

are intended to cover risks and charges that are clearly defined

but whose amount or timing remains uncertain. The establish-

ment of these provisions is subject to the existence of an obliga-

tion to a third-party at year-end, and the absence of at least an

equivalent consideration from this third party. This regulation does

not cover, in particular, banking transactions, financial instruments

and insurance contracts in force.

– provisions for counterparty risks established in the real estate divi-

sion’s subsidiaries. They cover the scope of sound commitments

entered on the balance sheet or as off-balance sheet commit-

ments, for which statistical information is available that makes it

possible to assess default probabilities. These provisions are deter-

mined by applying multiples segmented by rating category and

residual term, and weighted by recovery assumptions in the event

of a default. In particular, they cover potential risks on office space,

financial institutions, local and regional public sector entities and

structured financing.

11 – Pension and related commitmentsIn France, pension liabilities are generally covered by contributions

taken as expenses and paid to retirement or insurance funds, which

then handle pension payments, or by the government in the case

of civil servants.

Provisions are made in respect of the rights of employees to a pay-

ment on retirement that are not covered by insurance contracts, for

each category of employee based on collective bargaining agree-

ments. These provisions are calculated using an actuarial method

taking into account the age and length of service of the personnel,

the mortality rate and probable remaining service with the Group

until retirement, and estimated future salary levels. This provision is

adjusted each year based on changes in the actuarial valuation of

the liabilities.

When these commitments are covered by an insurance policy, the

annual premiums paid are included in expenses for the period.

In countries other than France, there are various compulsory reti-

rement plans to which employers and employees pay contributions.

Depending on each case, the corresponding commitments are paid

to company pension funds or recognized in the individual accounts

of the companies concerned. No restatements are made in this res-

pect in the consolidated financial statements.

Commitments related to bonuses awarded for work medals or

Caisse des Dépôts medals are calculated using the same method

as is used to determine commitments for retirement indemnities.

12 – Subordinated debtThis category includes debt whose repayment in the event of liqui-

dation would occur only after other creditors have been repaid.

Accrued interest payable is carried in a related liability account and

charged against income.

13 – Fund for general banking risksThis fund is constituted to cover operational risks and losses ari-

sing from banking activities and the management of financial

assets that are not covered by general or specific provisions.

Transfers are made to and from this fund on a regular basis to

cover these risks.

Principal accounting and presentationPolicies – Insurance business

Accounting policies and valuation methods specific to insurance

activities have been maintained in the consolidated financial state-

ments of Caisse des Dépôts Group.

Caisse des Dépôts Group applies CRC regulation 2000-05 regar-

ding rules for consolidating companies governed by the Insurance

Code.

Constituent items of the financial statements of insurance compa-

nies are consolidated on the lines of the balance sheet, income sta-

tement and off-balance sheet that are of the same nature, with the

exception of the following items:

➔ Insurance companies’ investmentsInsurance company investments include real estate, investments

representing unit-linked policies and various other investments.

Real estate investments are shown in the balance sheet at acqui-

sition cost, net of acquisition expenses, but increased to reflect the

cost of improvements and certain taxes. Properties are deprecia-

ted over their estimated useful life. The estimated value of proper-

ties is based on reports produced by independent appraisers. A

provision is recognized in the event of permanent diminution in value.

Investments allocated to unit-linked policies are reassessed at the

year end by reference to variations in related unrealized capital

gains or losses. Technical liabilities relating to these policies are

similarly re-estimated.

Equities and other variable income securities are recorded at cost

excluding expenses. A provision for impairment is established to

cover lasting impairment of the securities, determined relative to

the estimated recovery value.

Marketable securities and other fixed-income securities are recor-

ded at cost excluding accrued income. The difference between

the redemption value of these securities and their cost, excluding

accrued income, is allocated on an actuarial basis over the remai-

ning term to maturity. A provision is established in the event of a

default risk on the part of the issuer.

Moreover, when the net book value of the real estate investments

and variable-rate securities exceeds the realization value of these

assets, a provision for the call risk of the technical commitments,

which is equal to the difference between these two amounts, must

be established.

➔ Insurance companies’ technical provisions Technical provisions correspond to commitments to policyholders

and beneficiaries.

58



• Life insurance and capitalization

For policies including death cover, the provision taken comprises

the share of written premiums not earned in the period concerned.

The actuarial provisions relating to premiums on policies denomi-

nated in monetary terms correspond to the difference in the pre-

sent value of the liabilities of the policyholder and of the insurer.

Life insurance provisions are set aside using a discount rate not

exceeding the expected return, cautiously estimated, on the assets

representing these provisions.

Liabilities are discounted applying a rate that is at the most equal

to the rate of the policy concerned, and using mortality rates requi-

red by regulation or actual mortality tables if these are more pru-

dent.

An overall provision is made for the amount of the total future mana-

gement charges of policies not covered by charges levied on pre-

miums or on the financial income generated thereon.

When remuneration in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate,

based on the results of technical and financial management, is due

to the policyholders and has not been distributed to them during

the period, this remuneration is included in the provision for profit-

sharing payments.

The provision for claims payable includes outstanding claims and

capital due at the year-end.

Actuarial provisions in respect of unit-linked policies are assessed

on the basis of the assets underlying these policies.

• Disability, accident and health insurance

A provision is taken for incremental risks to cover timing differences

between the time when guarantees are acquired by policyholders

and when they are financed by insurance premiums.

Provisions for claims are based on the estimated value of foreseeable

expenses net of any recourse recovery.

• Non-life insurance

Non-life insurance technical provisions comprise provisions for

unpaid premiums (share of premiums issued that correspond to

subsequent years) and provisions for claims payable.

• Gross margin on insurance activities

The gross margin on insurance activities comprises earned income

from premiums and contributions, the cost of benefits (including

changes in technical provisions) and net investment income.

Principal accounting and presentationPolicies – Service sector businesses

Accounting policies and valuation methods specific to service sec-

tor businesses have been maintained in the consolidated financial

statements of Caisse des Dépôts Group.

Constituent items of the consolidated financial statements of ser-

vice companies are consolidated on the lines of the balance sheet,

income statement and off-balance sheet that are of the same nature.

One specific line only has been added, entitled “Net income from

other activities” in the intermediate management balances. Net

income from other activities comprises mainly sales and other ope-

rating income, less purchases consumed.

(1) The other movements include the effect of foreign currency translation differences on goodwill recorded at the time of the acquisition of CDC IXIS AssetManagement North America, L.P.(2) Pursuant to paragraph No. 2110 of CRC regulation No. 99-07 on the consolidation rules of companies subject to the CRBF, in 2001 CDC IXIS Groupperformed due diligence and additional audits that led to a more precise market share estimate (see Note 7) and to record a deferred tax asset of $363million, which is included in the acquisition price of CDC IXIS Asset Management North America L.P. This deferred tax asset is being written back over aperiod of 15 years using an actuarial method. As of December 31, 2002, it totaled €314 million (group share: €226 million).The goodwill on this acquisition, amortized over 20 years, totaled $841 million before amortization (€801 million based on the December 31, 2002exchange rate, or a group share of €578 million, compared with €953 million and €687 million, respectively, the previous year).The downturn in the U.S. financial markets last year, which represented an index of impaired value, led the Group to carry out an impairment test thatexamined both specified intangible assets (market share) and residual goodwill. The value in use of these assets was determined by using a method based on the discounted cash flow method applied to the entire CDC IXIS AssetManagement North America Group. The discount rate used in this method includes a substantial risk premium and an exit multiple that is determinedbased on a range of peer companies. The conclusion of this impairment test led the Group to record $203 million (€215 million based on the average exchange rate for the period, or a groupshare of €155 million) in non-recurring amortization. This exceptional amortization affects only the residual goodwill, which as of December 31, 2002totaled $547 million (€521 million based on the year-end exchange rate, or a group share of €375 million), after ordinary and non-recurring amortization,compared with $792 million the previous year (€897 million based on the year-end exchange rate, or a group share of €647 million).

did not result in the crystallization of any capital gains, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations chose to pay a special dividend that was the equivalent to what the State would have received had it received the capital gains on the transactions.

– a non-recurring dividend of €15.2 million paid to the Cyberbase fund.(3) Other changes included:– for the fund for general banking risks, €266 million in net reversals to the income statement, which for the most part corresponded to the reversal

by the Central Sector (€259 million), as well as several transfers at subsidiary level;– for the group share of retained earnings, the change was an overall decrease of €226 million, which included a €243 million decrease from the foreign

currency translation difference mainly with the U.S. subsidiaries. Other movements involve for the most part changes in consolidation methods, reversalsof provisions for long-term impairment prior to 1995 and investment subsidies;

– for minority interests, changes in consolidation scope, notably with the first-time consolidation of the CDC PME Croissance mutual fund and the recording of minority interests on EMGP, which was fully consolidated at year-end.

Information on counterparty risk relative

to forward financial instruments

The analysis below covers the full range of the Caisse des Dépôts

competitive banking subsidiaries, in other words the companies

controlled by EULIA and, in particular, CDC IXIS. The data are pro-

portional to the rate at which Caisse des Dépôts consolidates these

entities. The analysis presented below is not a restatement of tran-

sactions engaged in by Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations’ Central

Sector.

Counterparty risk relative to forward financial instruments is measu-

red as the likely loss that would be suffered by the range of entities

concerned in the event that the counterparty is unable to meet its

commitments. Exposure to counterparty risk on forward interest rate

and foreign exchange instruments (futures and options) can be deter-

mined by calculating the equivalent credit risk as defined in instruc-

tion no. 96-06 of the French banking commission. This involves cal-

culating the sum of:

• the positive replacement cost of the instruments based on mar-

ket value, net of any compensatory agreements that meet the

conditions of article 4 of CRBF regulation no. 91-05;

• the potential credit risk that results from the application of add-

ons, as defined in the above-mentioned regulation, calculated on

the basis of the nominal value of the contracts depending on their

nature and residual duration.

This counterparty risk is partly offset by:

• the signing of master agreements on market conventions (ISDA-

AFB) that allow the compensation of positive and negative repla-

cement values in the event of counterparty default;

• the signing of collateralization agreements involving the granting of

guarantees in the form of cash or securities.

a) CNCE commitmentsAs part of the Alliance's transactions, Caisse des Dépôts Group

entered into commitments (given or reciprocal) with CNCE that could

result in cash outflows or inflows. Because the effects of these com-

mitments could not be assessed until after the guarantee periods

have ended (between 2004 and 2011), only the maximum contrac-

tual amounts were entered among off-balance-sheet commitments.

These commitments given and received totaled €389 million and

€238 million, respectively.

b) Sanpaolo IMI (SP IMI) commitmentCaisse des Dépôts Group and Sanpaolo IMI signed an agreement

that expresses their intention to create a lasting strategic partner-

ship. Along with this agreement, the two groups acquired cross-

holdings. In that context, Caisse des Dépôts granted Sanpaolo IMI

two options to purchase CDC IXIS shares, the first in the event of

a change in CDC IXIS’s controlling ownership, the second, which

includes a liquidity commitment, in the event that the shares are not

listed on an organized European market. In addition, Caisse des

D) OTHER OFF-BALANCE-SHEET COMMITMENTS



Dépôts has an option to buy CDC IXIS shares owned by Sanpaolo

IMI, which can be exercised in the event of a change in the control-

ling interest in Sanpaolo IMI. These commitments expire in 2004.

The sale price of the shares in the event the options are exercised

shall be determined by expert financial appraisals.

NET DEFERRED TAXES CARRIED ON THE BALANCE SHEET 5 50

(1) Pursuant to paragraph No. 2110 of CRC regulation No. 99-07 on the consolidation rules of companies subject to the CRBF, in 2001 CDC IXIS Groupperformed due diligence and additional audits that led to the recognition of a deferred tax asset of $363 million, which is included in the acquisition priceof CDC IXIS Asset Management North America L.P. This deferred tax asset is being written back over a period of 15 years using an actuarial method. As of December 31, 2002, it totaled €314 million in the financial statements of CDC IXIS AM and €226 million in those of Caisse des Dépôts Group.

(2) The Group chose to limit the deferred tax assets recognized in respect of the tax losses of CDC IXIS Asset Management North America to the portionthat could be recovered within a five-year period. This prudential measure resulted in CDC IXIS AM recording $93 million deferred tax charge as ofDecember 31, 2002 (€99 million based on the average exchange rate for the year), while for its part Caisse des Dépôts Group recorded $67 million (€71 million).

(1) Since 2002, commissions paid to new business providers are recorded in net banking income and no longer under operating expenses (see principles for establishing the consolidated financial statements). The 2001 financial statements were therefore restated by applying this principle.

The table below reconciles the reported and proforma 2001 income statements.

The proforma income statement presents the items as if the Alliance transactions realized in late 2001 had been completed as of January

1 of that year. The proforma income statement therefore integrates the results of companies contributed by Caisse d'Epargne Group (Entering

Companies column) and factors in changes in percentages held as well as the changes in consolidation scope resulting from the Alliance

transactions, in particular the proportional consolidation of CDC IXIS and CFF at the respective rates of 79.36% and 45.50% and the increa-

sed holding in CNP Assurances following the consolidation of the long-term equity holdings of the Regional Savings Banks by CNCE.

To the Chief Executive Officer:

In accordance with the assignment entrusted to us, we have

audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements

of Caisse des Dépôts Group established in euros for the year ended

December 31, 2002.

These consolidated financial statements have been approved by

you. Our role is to express an opinion on these financial statements

based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the professional stan-

dards applied in France. Those standards require that we plan and

perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating

the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that

our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and

fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position and results of

the entity formed by the companies included in the consolidation

scope, in accordance with French accounting regulations and

generally accepted accounting principles

Income Statement


Highlights for the year

Sharp deterioration in the financial marketsduring 20022002 was marked by a severe financial market downturn. Stock

market prices plummeted.

Given the sharp deterioration in French and European equities and

their volatility, provisions for impairment established for medium-

term portfolio securities (TAP) were strengthened by €928 million.

Meanwhile, allocations to the FGBR during the period 1998 to 2000

were written back in an amount of €259 million.

Principal policies for accounting and presentation of the financialstatements

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002

have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accoun-

ting principles applicable to banking and financial institutions in

France.

The financial statements are presented in accordance with CRC

Regulation 2000-03 on the preparation of individual company

accounts by undertakings governed by the French Banking

Regulation Committee (Comité de la Réglementation Bancaire et

Financière – CRBF).

The accounting principles and valuation methods used are identi-

cal to those used to prepare the financial statements for the year

ending December 31, 2001, with the exception of the following

points:

➔ Investment propertyFor buildings requiring that have suffered a permanent impairment

of value or are intended to be sold in the medium term, a provision

is established in an amount equal to the difference between the

book value and market value. For major buildings, the market value

is determined using external appraisals.

At subsequent period ends impairment tests are based on an update

of the most recent external appraisal.

➔ Provisions for risks and chargesCRC regulation 2000-06 dated December 7, 2000 relative to liabi-

lities was applied effective January 1, 2002. It defines new accoun-

ting and valuation rules for provisions for risks and charges.

In light of this regulation, a provision for risks and charges must be

established if, at the time the financial statements are finalized, a

commitment toward a third party exists whose term or amount is

not defined precisely. If this commitment is neither certain nor likely,

then a provision is not established but the commitment is descri-

bed in the notes to the financial statements.

In particular, banking transactions, financial instruments and insu-

rance contracts are not covered by the regulation. Regulations pre-

viously in effect remain applicable. Thus the provisions for risks and

charges related to the underlying transactions are established to

cover risks and charges clearly defined in terms of their nature and

likely to occur as a result of prior or ongoing events.

The application of the regulation did not have any material impact

on retained earnings at the beginning of the year.

➔ Urban renewal fund (FRU)Under an agreement signed by the two parties on June 29, 2000,

the French government entrusted Caisse des Dépôts et

Consignations with the management of a fund designed to strength-

en support measures for the urban renewal policy as well as the

new legislative initiatives governing solidarity and urban renewal.

The initiatives of the FRU are financed by a non-recurring dividend

of €457 million paid by the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations.

Following written correspondence with the regulatory authorities,

the fund’s accounting was entrusted to Caisse des Dépôts et

Consignations, and the various transactions, accounted for in third-

party accounts, are reflected in the FRU accounts.

The accounting principles used for the financial statements are describedin detail below

1 – Income statement itemsInterest and commissions classified as such are recorded on an

accruals basis. Commissions not classified as interest are recor-

ded on a cash basis.

2 – Foreign currency denominated transactionsForeign currency denominated assets, liabilities and off-balance

sheet commitments have been translated at exchange rates on

December 31, 2002.

Currency gains and losses from ordinary foreign exchange tran-

sactions are recorded in the income statement.

Spot foreign exchange transactions are valued at the spot rate.

Forward currency transactions, other than hedging, are valued at

the rate for the remaining period. Forward currency transactions for

hedging purposes are valued by symmetry with the item hedged.

Premiums and discounts related to hedged forward currency tran-

sactions are taken as income and expenses over the period remai-

ning until the maturity of these transactions.

3 – Advances and loans to financial institutionsand customersThese items include loans, overdrafts, and securities purchased

under collateralized and uncollateralized fixed resale agreements.

➔ LoansLoans are recorded as assets in the balance sheet at redemption

value. Accrued interest is recognized as income over the life of the

loan.

Loans with non-collection risks are transferred to non-performing

loans, at the latest when unpaid due amounts are more than three

months old, or more than six months old for real-estate loans or

more than nine months old for local and regional government bodies.

Provisions are made against the interest and capital on these loans

after taking into account the type of collateral received.

➔ Securities purchased under collateralized and uncollateralized fixed resale agreements

These securities are recorded as assets in the balance sheet on the

line representing the receivable arising from the transaction. The

corresponding income is recognized on a time basis. Securities

received as collateral and subsequently sold are recorded as liabi-

lities and valued at market value.

4 – Securities and securities transactionsVariable income securities are classified under five accounting cate-

gories corresponding to the institution’s activities.

➔ Trading securitiesTrading securities include in particular treasury bills and negotiable

debt securities. They are expected to be held for periods not excee-

ding six months. They are highly liquid and are marked to market.

Valuation differences are recognized in the income statement.

➔ Available-for-sale securitiesAvailable-for-sale securities represent securities that are not to be

held until maturity or for trading purposes. They also include trading

securities reclassified after being held for a period of more than six

months. In this case, the reclassification is made at market value

on the date of the transfer.

Available-for-sale securities are treated according to the FIFO method

and are valued as follows:

– Bonds and equities: unrealized losses calculated based on their

year-end closing price are taken to expenses through a provision

for impairment;

– Treasury bills, negotiable debt securities, and interbank instru-

ments: provisions are made on the basis of the individual situa-

tion of the issuer and market indicators.

Any premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are writ-

ten off over the residual life of the asset on a yield-to-maturity basis

for negotiable debt securities and on a straight-line basis for other

securities.

➔ Investment securitiesThis portfolio comprises fixed-income securities that are intended

to be held until maturity, and financed with dedicated long-term

resources or covered through hedging instruments.

Unrealized capital losses resulting from differences between book

and market values are not covered by provisions. However, if appli-

cable, counterparty risks are taken into account in determining the

value of these securities at year-end. The difference between the

acquisition price and the redemption value of the securities (pre-

mium or discount) is amortized using the yield-to-maturity method

for negotiable debt securities and the straight-line method for other

securities.

➔ Medium-term portfolio securities (TAP)Medium-term portfolio securities are investments made on a regu-

lar basis with the aim of realizing a capital gain in the medium term

but without the intention of investing on a long-term basis in the

development of the business or taking an active part in the opera-

tional management of the issuing undertaking. These securities are

recorded at cost.

A provision is taken in respect of any permanent impairment in the

value of the security due to a fundamental deterioration in the under-

taking’s position.

Caisse des Dépôts has gradually revised its provisioning proce-

dures for its long-term equity portfolio securities (TAP), and uses

methods for determining the value in use of these securities that

combine three criteria:

1) average stock market price over a predetermined period based

on the portfolio’s expected holding period;

2) stress forecast applied to this average, updated at year-end;

3) by exception, specific estimate of the lines for which the first two

criteria would not accurately reflect the value in use.

➔ Other long-term securities (ATDLT)No securities are held by the Central Sector that would be classi-

fied under this accounting category.

➔ Long-term equity holdingsLong-term equity holdings are recorded at acquisition cost.

They are valued on the basis of their fair value, with reference to

various criteria such as net assets, potential return, and capitaliza-

tion of earnings. Provisions are constituted to reflect any perma-

nent impairment.

➔ Lending and borrowing of securitiesSecurities are valued using the rules applicable to the portfolio

of origin.

Borrowed securities are recorded as an asset under trading

securities at their market value on the day they were borrowed,

and as a liability to recognize the debt towards the lender. They

are valued on the basis of their year-end market value.

Loans and borrowings guaranteed by cash and notes are trea-

ted in the same way as collateralized resale agreements.

Income from these transactions is recognized on an accruals

basis in the income statement.

5 – Tangible and intangible fixed assetsFixed assets are valued at cost. In the case of buildings, initial fix-

tures, fittings and installation expenditure may be added to the cost

of acquisition.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method and accor-

96

Central Sector


ding to the type and quality of the building, over its estimated use-

ful life. Thus, buildings are depreciated over 20 to 50 years. Partial

renovation work on old buildings is depreciated over periods of bet-

ween 15 and 25 years.

Installations, improvements and fittings are generally written off over

10 years. As a general rule, software is written off over 3 years.

Forests are subject to provisions for impairment as required. In the

event of an irreversible loss, an exceptional depreciation charge is

taken for the amount of the loss.

6 – Advances and loans from financial institu-tions and customer depositsThese liabilities include deposits, loans and securities sold under col-

lateralized and uncollateralized fixed repurchase agreements.

➔ LoansLoans are recorded in the balance sheet at redemption value and

accrued interest is charged to the income statement over the life of

the loan.

➔ Securities sold under collateralized fixed repurchase agreements

The debt is recorded under liabilities. The securities are maintained in

their original portfolio and valued according to the rules applicable to

that portfolio. The corresponding interest is recognized as it is accrued.

7 – Debt securitiesDebt securities are reported according to the type of security: inter-

bank and money market instruments (certificates of deposit and

medium-term notes).

Accrued interest is recorded on the same balance sheet line as the

debt security and is charged to the income statement.

8 – Forward financial instrumentsIn application of the strategy defined for the development of its tra-

ding activities and the management of market risks, Caisse des

Dépôts operates on all organized and over-the-counter markets for

interest rate, currency and equities futures and options. In France

as well as abroad, these transactions are entered into:

– as part of specific or general hedging;

– in connection with specialized management of trading portfolios.

For all of these instruments, whatever the management policy pur-

sued, the face value of the futures and options contracts, the value

of the underlying assets, or the exercise price is recorded off-balance

sheet. The method of accounting for charges and revenues on these

instruments depends on the management policy pursued.

➔ Interest rate and currency swaps– Hedging transactions: charges and revenues resulting from hed-

ging instruments (taken singly or as a homogeneous group) are

recognized symmetrically with the revenues and charges resulting

from the transaction hedged. Charges and revenues on instruments

qualified as general hedges are recorded on an accruals basis.

– Specialized portfolio management transactions: contracts are

valued at year-end at their market value. In accordance with regu-

lations, the market value takes into account an adjustment for

counterparty risks and the discounted value of future manage-

ment costs. The total net valuation difference is recognized in the

income statement.

➔ Other interest rate and currency transactionsThese transactions relate primarily to futures and options.

– Hedging transactions: charges or revenues are recognized in the

income statement on a symmetrical basis with the revenues or

charges on the transaction hedged.

– Other transactions: these transactions are marked to market.

Unrealized gains or losses at year-end are recognized in the income

statement.

In order to give a fair view of the value of these instruments, those

that are not highly liquid are also valued by reference to their theo-

retical market value.

➔ Complex transactionsComplex transactions are synthetic combinations of instruments

of various types, characteristics and pricing methods.

Each component of the transaction is recorded on-or off-balance

sheet according to the nature of the underlying.

The result is considered globally and recorded through one entry

reflecting the economic nature of the transactions, as if they were

a single instrument. In the case of totally new products, when not

governed by explicit regulation, the accounting approach for reco-

gnition of any gains and losses is based on similar existing products.

The method of accounting for gains and losses depends on the

management policy pursued:

– Hedging transaction: for reasons of prudence, notably when mar-

ket liquidity is low, results are recorded on an accruals basis. A

provision is made when market value is negative.

– Trading portfolio or transaction for which the result can be consi-

dered as an arrangement fee: the result is recognized when the

transaction is initiated. A discount is applied to take into account

future management expenses and possible counterparty risks.

➔ Market valuesWhen the market price of the instruments or the valuation para-

meters are not officially listed, alternative valuation methods are

used, making reference to one or more of the following compo-

nents: price confirmation by brokers or outside counterparties, com-

parison with actual transactions and research by issuer or instru-

ment category.

When instruments are valued using models, these integrate the

parameters that affect the valuation of the instruments, in particu-

lar the liquidity level of the related markets. Applying a prudent

approach, the calculations are adjusted to take account of the weak-

nesses of some of these parameters, in particular their relevance

over a long period.

9 – Provisions for risks and chargesThis heading includes:

– provisions for specific identified risks and losses relating to cer-

tain sectors of activity;

– provisions for retirement commitments corresponding mainly to

benefits for end of service;

– provisions for charges arising from the implementation of a labor

agreement and the undertaking to provide assistance to all mem-

bers of staff leaving the institution’s employment;

– provisions to cover expected charges from known tax disputes;

– a provision for contingent taxation relative to the deferred assess-

ment of gains on public share exchange offers and mergers.

These provisions were analyzed in detail as part of the application

effective January 1, 2002 of CRC regulation 2000-06 dated

December 7, 2000 regarding liabilities.

Banking transactions and financial instruments in particular are not

covered by this regulation.

10 – Investment property risksCaisse des Dépôts owns a large portfolio of rental properties held

as long-term investments. For buildings depreciated over the long

term as well as those to be sold in the medium term, a provision is

established equal to the difference between the book value and the

market value. For major buildings, market values are determined

by independent appraisers.

11 – Pension and related commitmentsPension liabilities are generally covered by contributions taken as

expenses and paid to retirement or insurance funds, which then

handle pension payments, or by the government in the case of civil

servants.

Provisions are made in respect of the rights of employees to a pay-

ment on retirement that are not covered by insurance contracts, for

each category of employee based on collective bargaining agree-

ments. These provisions are calculated using an actuarial method

taking into account the age and length of service of the personnel,

the mortality rate and probable remaining service with the Group

until retirement and estimated future salary levels. This provision is

adjusted each year based on changes in the actuarial valuation of

the liabilities.

When these commitments are covered by an insurance policy,

the annual premiums paid are included in expenses for the period.

Commitments related to bonuses awarded for work medals or

Caisse des Dépôts medals are calculated using the same method

as is used to determine commitments for retirement indemnities.

12 – Income taxEach year the Central Sector pays to the French Treasury a volun-

tary contribution representative of income tax. The amount is cal-

culated as if the Central Sector was assessed for income tax in

accordance with the tax regime applicable to companies. It is

this amount that is accrued in the accounts under the heading

“income tax”.

A provision for tax is recorded in respect of transactions whose taxa-

tion is deferred. This is calculated applying the tax rate at which

these transactions are likely to be taxed. The deferred full and redu-

ced tax rates of 35.43% and 20.20%, respectively, were unchan-

ged from 2001 and the first half of 2002.

– The distribution of 2000 earnings in 2001 amounted to 33.33% of the group share of consolidated net income for 2001, or €642 million paid to the State.– The 2001 earnings paid to the State in 2002 comprised:• €452 million (33.33% of the group share of 2001 consolidated net income) • an exceptional dividend of €457 million, which corresponded to the absence of capital gains generated by Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations on the sale of its CDC IXIS shares in the course of the creation of EULIA.Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations decided to pay the State the exceptional dividend that would have resulted from the capital gains on those shares.– Another change in 2002 that reduced "Other retained earnings" corresponded to the payment of a dividend of €15 million to the Cyberbase fund.In recent years, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations maintained and strengthened its provisioning policy to the FGBR in a context of a strong run-up in equitymarket prices. Given that the market downturn in 2002 decisively rolled back the gains recorded earlier, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations decided to write back provisionsestablished between 1998 and 2000, a total of €259 million.

NET DECREASE (INCREASE) IN FGBR AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS 275 (43)

a) Guarantee given by Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations to CDC IXIS

Since December 1, 2000, some of the transactions carried out by

CDC IXIS have been covered by a joint guarantee from Caisse des

Dépôts et Consignations. The transactions concerned are, first of

all, transactions on financial instruments, including the issuing of

such instruments, and, second, interbank and treasury transac-

tions, as well as various types of guarantee commitments (endor-

sements, sureties and other guarantees). Under the terms of the

agreement, CDC IXIS can in turn give guarantees to certain of its

subsidiaries under certain conditions.

The compensation due from CDC IXIS in respect of the guaran-

tee given by Caisse des Dépôts depends on the ratio, on a conso-

lidated basis, between capital at risk and Tier 1 capital as defi-

ned for capital adequacy purposes. It is at least equal to the

amount of the total financial instruments outstanding issued by

CDC IXIS multiplied by the difference, at the time of issue, bet-

ween the compensation paid by CDC IXIS in respect of these ins-

truments and that of comparable financial instruments issued at

the same time by the most highly rated private-sector European

financial institutions.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the compensation paid by

CDC IXIS amounted to €10.9 million.

b) Sanpaolo IMI (SP IMI) commitmentCaisse des Dépôts Group and Sanpaolo IMI have signed an agree-

ment that expresses their intention to create a lasting strategic part-

nership. Along with this agreement, the two groups acquired cross-

holdings. In that context, Caisse des Dépôts granted Sanpaolo IMI

two options to purchase CDC IXIS shares, the first in the event of

a change in CDC IXIS’s controlling ownership, the second, which

includes a liquidity commitment, in the event that the shares are not

listed on an organized European market. In addition, Caisse des

Dépôts has an option to buy CDC IXIS shares owned by Sanpaolo

IMI, which can be exercised in the event of a change in the control-

ling interest in Sanpaolo IMI. These commitments expire in 2004.

The sale price of the shares in the event the options are exercised

shall be determined by expert financial appraisals.

c) Guarantee granted in respect of CDC HoldingFinance (CDC HF)

Caisse des Dépôts has given an undertaking to ensure that CDC

Holding Finance will be able to fulfill its commitments as part of

the reciprocal guarantees signed by CDC HF and CNCE at the

time of the Alliance transaction, in the event it should be called

upon to do so.

Note 31 – Change in Fund for General Banking Risks (FGBR) and Regulatory Provisions

Note 32


To the Chief Executive Officer,

In accordance with the assignment entrusted to us, we have audi-

ted the accompanying financial statements of the Central Sector of

to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our

audit.



perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether

the financial statements are free of material misstatement.



also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signi-

ficant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the

overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our

audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of

the results of the Central Sector for the year ended December 31,

rally accepted accounting principles.

Savings Funds

The activities of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations comprise two

main missions:

– the direct business of the Central Sector – the financial and admi-

nistrative entity of Caisse des Dépôts and of the subsidiaries and

long-term equity interests attached to it, notably the CDC IXIS, C3D

and CNP Assurances groups;

– the management of the funds entrusted to Caisse des Dépôts

et Consignations: the accounting structure of Caisse des Dépôts

reflects the nature of the relationship existing between the Public

Institution and these funds.

A series of legal, regulatory and contractual documents defines the

nature of the services provided by Caisse des Dépôts and their

remuneration.

The accounting systems used make it possible to identify each

fund’s resources, their uses and the earnings generated. Therefore,

a balance sheet and an income statement are drawn up for each

fund.

This section presents the financial statements relating to the

Savings Funds centralized by Caisse des Dépôts.

These include in particular deposits taken on the Livret A and LEP

passbooks and Codevi accounts of Caisses d’Epargne, the Livret

Bleu passbooks of Crédit Mutuel, the LEP passbooks and Codevi

accounts of banks and the deposits collected by La Poste (Livret

A, Livret B, PEP, LEP, Codevi, CNE home-purchase savings plans

and Livret Jeunes passbooks).

I – Highlights for the year

1) Urban Renewal Loan (PRU) subsidiesThe agreement signed on June 29, 2000 between the French State

and Caisse des Dépôts stated that the Urban Renewal Fund (FRU)

would be able to participate in financing the additional rebate pro-

vided on urban renewal loans so as to maintain their rate at 3%.

This measure was strictly limited to a line of loans of €1,524 million

granted over three years out of deposits taken on Livret A, CEP and

CNE passbooks.

Even though the interest on Livret A passbook deposits was increa-

sed from 2.25% to 3% on July 1, 2000, the rate on urban renewal

loans has been maintained at 3% since that date, in accordance

with the terms of a letter dated August 7, 2000 sent to Caisse des

Dépôts by the Minister for the Economy, Finance and Industry. This

letter stipulated that the shortfall calculated by the yield-to-maturity

method, the difference between 3% and 3.75%, would be paid by

the Urban Renewal Fund.

Agreements were signed by representatives of the Savings Funds

and the Urban Renewal Fund on April 10 and 17, 2001, respecti-

vely, setting out the methods for calculating and settling this sub-

sidy. Under these agreements, subsidies are to be called up every

six months and taken to the income statement by the yield-to-matu-

rity method as and when loans are redeemed (see Note 11).

Since the Savings Funds bear the cost of the negative spread

between the loans’ theoretical rate (3.75%) and the cost of the

resources collected on Livret A passbook deposits (4.30%), they

are required to book a provision for risks and charges.

The volume of loans already distributed has been closed at €1,463

million; the provision totaled €70 million as of December 31, 2002

(see Note 10).

The Interministerial Committee for Urban Areas meeting of October

1, 2001 voted to open two new three-year lines, a €2.3 billion Urban

Renewal Loan (PRU) line and a €1.5 billion Urban Project Loan

(PPU) line. The terms of these new lines were set forth in the

Ministerial Letter dated January 30, 2002, which in particular esta-

blishes that the rebate for the Savings Funds relating to the PRU

facility would be balanced out by a subsidy for the same amount

from the UESL. In the first half, two agreements, the first between

the DFE and the Urban Renewal Department (DRU) and the second

between the DFE and the UESL, were signed in order to implement

these measures.

2) Housing savings taxesConsistency audits revealed that La Poste had received excess fees

from the housing savings plans and accounts (PEL and CEL). In

2001, the Savings Funds recorded receivables of €50.2 million,

which corresponded to the repayment due from La Poste in light

of this overpayment. Given the still uncertain nature of this claim,

for which an appraisal is being carried out along with La Poste, a

provision for litigation was established for the same amount.

In 2002, an external audit carried out by La Poste and Caisse des

Dépôts confirmed the existence of the overcharge for 2001 and

prior years and determined the precise amount. Once this finding

was verified, the commissions actually paid were adjusted accor-

dingly (beginning in March 2002). After the audit report was sub-

mitted, Caisse des Dépôts requested that La Poste repay these

amounts, recorded €121.6 million in receivables and a €71.4 mil-

lion reduction in commissions and wrote back the €50.2 million

provision for litigation established in 2001.

3) Regional scope of long-term investmentsexpanded to the entire European Union The Ministry for the Economy, Finance and Industry authorized a

broadening of the regional scope for long-term investments of the

Savings Funds to the entire European Union, effective January 1,

2002.

Previously, these investments were only authorized for shares lis-

ted on a French market and money market instruments.

This broadening of the investment region is designed to further diver-

sify the portfolio and thereby enhance the risk/return ratio. This

authorization was accompanied by the implementation of a forma-

lized investment code, approved by the Supervisory Board, that

sets forth the risk diversification rules and maximum weighting thre-

sholds for the portfolio’s assets and asset classes.

Since January 1, 2002, the bond portfolios took advantage of this

authorization to expand their regional scope, mainly by including

euro zone sovereign issues, which saw their share of the portfolio

grow from 1.5% to 5.0%.

The reallocation resulting from this authorized geographic diversifi-

cation has been implemented very gradually and cautiously, using

reinvested cash flow as opposed to reallocations of existing holdings.

4) Divestment of securities that do not conformwith the investment codeSome investment portfolio securities were divested in order to com-

ply with the new investment code implemented by the Ministry of

the Economy, Finance and Industry in a letter dated February 18,

2002. These investments had a book value of €538 million and the

capital gain on disposal totaled €14.7 million. They were replaced

by an equivalent volume of similar securities consistent with the

investment code.

5) Non-recovery riskIn 2002, Caisse des Dépôts revised its estimation method used to

calculate non-recovery risk, which had caused loans to be down-

graded to non-performing. This change was the result of a retros-

pective analysis, which revealed that the method used to date with

regard to CGLLS protocol borrowers was excessively cautious.

Loans to these borrowers were kept on watch as non-performing

loans, even though they did not present any non-payment events

and enjoyed the CGLLS backing as part of the implementation of

restructuring plans. As of December 31, 2002, given the absence

of risk on these loans for the period under review, namely the years

2000 to 2002, the loans were reclassified as performing as of the

signature date of the CGLLS protocol. This revised estimate led to

a €125 million write-back on the ICNE provisions, recorded as a

reduction in the risk cost.

Notes to the Financial Statements


II – Accounting Policies and Methods

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with

generally accepted accounting principles in France and specific

regulations applicable to financial institutions.

1) Fixed assets and long-term equity holdingsFixed assets are valued at cost. In the case of buildings, the cost of

initial fixtures, fittings and installations may be added to the acqui-

sition cost.

The asset represented by property built on land belonging to a third

party and made available under a capital lease is depreciated over

18 years, which corresponds to the term of the lease.

A provision for impairment is recorded in respect of land holdings

when there is a lasting decrease in their value.

Investments in non-trading real estate investment companies are

recorded at cost. Provisions for impairment are recorded when there

is lasting decrease in value determined by reference to the com-

panies’ net asset value.

2) Loans and borrowingsLoans and borrowings are recorded at redemption value.

➔ LoansCertain loans are repayable in increasing annual installments, resul-

ting in cumulative differences between interest accrued and inter-

est payable. These differences are recorded as accrued interest,

which is collected gradually over the life of the loan.

When there is a risk that outstanding loans may not be collected,

the loans are reclassified as non-performing loans and provisions

are made after taking into account any collateral received. Interest

and due but unpaid capital amounts are provided in full. The conta-

gion principle is implemented, except in certain cases where non-

payments are due to factors unrelated to the debtor’s situation

(contract litigation).

When a single borrower has both preferred and subordinated debt

at the same time, the subordinated debt may be subject to a down-

grade and the establishment of a provision, even though, as an

exception to the contagion principle, the preferred debt is not down-

graded to non-performing loan status. The preferred debt risk is

clearly less material than the risk on the subordinated debt.

Compensation received when loans are repaid early or reschedu-

led is credited to income in the year when it is received.

Capital gains arising on the transfer of loans between Savings Funds

are eliminated in the accounts of the Savings Funds centralized by

Caisse des Dépôts.

When the loans and borrowings of GGLLS and former government

loans are assumed by the Savings Funds, the difference between the

transaction value and the book value is recorded as a premium or

discount, which is amortized by the yield-to-maturity method over

the life of the corresponding loans or borrowings. Provisions for impair-

ment are recorded in respect of premiums on loans with a high risk

of being rescheduled or repaid early, since any premium paid when

these loans were assumed no longer has any financial substance.

The amortization schedule is updated every quarter to reflect loans

having given rise to early repayment or rescheduling as well as any

changes in interest rates.

➔ BorrowingsLoans payable are recorded in the balance sheet at redemption

value. Interest expense is charged to the income statement on an

accrual basis.

3) Available-for-sale securitiesThe rules for the valuation of available-for-sale securities depend on

the category to which they belong.

➔ Fixed income securitiesAt the time of purchase, fixed income securities are recorded at face

value, with the difference (premium or discount) between cost and

face value taken to a separate account.

At year end:

– the premium or discount is recognized in the income statement

on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the security;

– a provision for impairment is taken on a line-by-line basis in res-

pect of any unrealized loss determined by reference to the mark-

to-market value at end-December (end-June in the case of the

half-year accounts). Fixed income securities have been accoun-

ted for on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis since January 1, 1999.

➔ Variable income securitiesVariable income securities are recorded at cost and revalued at year-

end and when sold using the weighted average cost method.

A provision is taken when weighted average cost exceeds mark-

to-market value at end-December or the future realizable value of

commitments received, or the latest redemption value in the case

of units in mutual funds.

➔ Negotiable debt securities and other interbanksecuritiesAt the time of purchase, these securities are recorded at face value,

with the difference (premium or discount) between cost and face

value taken to a separate account.

At year-end the premium or discount is recognized in the income

statement by the yield-to-maturity method over the remaining life

of the security. Provisions are taken by reference to the solvency of

the issuer and market indicators.

4) Investment portfolioThis portfolio was set up on January 1, 1999 and comprises bonds

and negotiable debt instruments acquired with the intention of being

held on a long-term basis - normally to maturity - and for which

resources considered to have at least the same maturity have been

earmarked.

The securities are accounted for in accordance with rules applicable

to investment portfolios. Therefore:

– provisions are not taken in respect of unrealized capital losses;

– any premium or discount is spread over the remaining life of the

security by the yield-to-maturity method for negotiable debt secu-

rities and on a straight-line basis for bonds.

Securities are accounted for on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

5) Temporary disposal of securities➔ Lending and borrowing of securitiesSecurities lent are recorded on a separate line on the assets side of

the balance sheet at their book value in the portfolio from which they

were transferred, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

At year-end, they are valued in accordance with rules applicable to

the portfolios from which they were transferred.

Securities borrowed are recorded at their market value on the day

they were borrowed, as an asset under trading securities and as a

liability representing the amount due to the lender.

At year-end, these items are marked to market.

Interest arising from lending and borrowing of securities is recogni-

zed on an accruals basis.

➔ Securities sold (purchased) under collateralizedfixed repurchase (resale) agreementsSecurities sold under collateralized fixed repurchase agreements

are maintained in their original portfolio and continue to be valued

according to the rules applicable to that portfolio. They are recor-

ded on a separate line under liabilities.

Securities received as collateral are recorded under assets, with the

entry representing the amount receivable. These securities are not

revalued.

At year-end, income or charges arising from the above agreements

are recognized on an accruals basis.

6) Public exchange offersThe exchange value used to determine the result of share exchange

offers corresponds to the average stock market price for the com-

pany making the offer, calculated over the period commencing on,

but not including, the date of publication of the notice of filing of the

offer with the appropriate authorities and ending on, and including,

the date of publication of the results of the offer by these same

authorities. Prices used are market prices at the close of business

each day during the reference period. If several offers are filed in

respect of the same securities, the period of reference starts on the

date of the first offer.

7) Off-balance-sheet commitments (other than interest rate swaps)Off-balance sheet commitments relate mainly to loans that have

been granted but for which the funds have not yet been disbursed.

Off-balance sheet commitments received include State guarantees

and securities commitments; the commitments received from local

governments in the form of guarantees are not itemized. They involve

the bulk of the loan volume of the Savings Funds.

8) Interest rate swapsInterest rate swaps entered into by the Savings Funds in order to

hedge specific, perfectly identified transactions are reported as off-

balance sheet commitments.

Income and expenses generated by these instruments are reco-

gnized in the income statement symmetrically with the results gene-

rated by the hedged item.

9) Foreign currency transactionsForeign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the year-

end exchange rates. Spot transactions are translated at the spot

rate, while forward transactions are translated at the forward rate

for the remaining term.

10) Provisions for risks and chargesProvisions are booked for losses that are certain, resulting from loan

programs at rates that are lower than the cost of the related

resources:

– for the LEP program, part of the PLI loans has been refinanced

by borrowings and a provision has been recorded to cover the

actuarial loss;

– in the case of loans bearing interest at rates that are lower than

the cost of the resources, provisions are booked to cover the

actuarial loss. This concerns PLA-TS and urban renewal project

loans, loans for emergency housing projects and demolition-

reconstruction loans indexed on Livret A rates, as well as PLI loans

that are not refinanced by borrowings and PPU loans paid out of

LEP funds.

The provision for losses relating to all Livret A funds is shared across

all funds since resources financing these loans are of the same

nature and bear identical interest rates.

A provision has also been recorded to cover specific risks related

to home-purchase savings products.

This risk, which corresponds to the commitment to grant loans at a

rate that is set contractually in advance, is currently evaluated on a

global basis at 2% of all housing savings deposits at the year-end. As

of December 31, 2002, €38.7 million was allocated to this provision.

11) Funds for general banking risks (FGBR)The funds for general banking risks are intended to cover general

banking risks inherent to the activity of lending and investing in finan-

cial markets. These funds have been constituted by each of the

Savings Funds as a complement to specific provisions recorded by

each of them, so as to ensure that they satisfy minimal capital ade-

quacy requirements as laid down in applicable banking regulations

for counterparty and market risks.

The Home Financing Reserve Fund (Fonds de Réserve du

Financement du Logement, or FRFL), whose liabilities consist of

retained earnings derived indirectly from the cumulative difference

between accrued and invoiced interest has not constituted a fund

for general banking risks, since its capital requirements are amply

covered.

Capital adequacy requirements are covered by regulatory reserves

when these exist, and by the Fund for general banking risks, avai-

lable reserves, retained earnings and income for the year.

The method used to calculate the amount of the Fund for general

banking risks is based on covering the risk through two sequential

steps:

– by the establishment of reserves as required by regulations;

– and then by an allocation to the Fund for general banking risks,

regardless of the existence of available reserves and retained ear-

nings.

This risk is equivalent to the sum of the three capital adequacy com-

ponents for each Savings Fund:

– a component that corresponds to the capital adequacy require-

ment arising from the application of the European solvency ratio,

based on the assets of each fund;

– a second component that corresponds to the capital adequacy

requirement to cover market risk, based on the trading assets of

each fund;

– a component for so-called “projected risks.”

124

Savings Funds


The coverage of the available-for-sale portfolio’s market risk corres-

ponds, in effect, to the year-end capital adequacy requirements. For

management purposes, this requirement may be substantially less

than the portfolio’s potential exposure to market risks. The FGBR’s

ex ante component represents the additional capital that corres-

ponds to the difference between the potential and actual exposure.

For 2002, given the uncertainty surrounding in particular the Noyer-

Nasse risk assessment study and the capital adequacy require-

ments for the Savings Funds, the market risk coverage remained

unchanged.

III – Financial information on Market Risks

1) Assets/Liabilities ManagementThe Savings Funds are exposed to a refinancing risk since they

make medium-to long-term loans out of resources repayable on

demand. However, given the stability of these resources in the past,

the fact that interest rates for most loans are indexed to the cost of

these resources and the satisfactory level of liquidity, the Savings

Funds are able to refinance themselves without being exposed to

a significant risk. Interest rate and liquidity risks are measured using

asset-liability management systems calibrated to take into account

the characteristics of the assets and liabilities to the utmost level of

detail. In particular, it is possible to model the balance sheet to reflect

various assumptions regarding deposit taking and lending. To pro-

vide depositors with the highest possible level of protection, the size

and structure of the portfolio of financial assets are designed to leave

real possibilities for adapting the portfolio to possible changes in

liquidity risk, while protecting the interest margin earned now and

in the future against movements in interest rates.

Throughout the year, the groundwork was laid for the transition to

new capital adequacy requirements for the Savings Funds, in par-

ticular to calibrate their level relative to that of the balance sheet

risks.

2) Risk managementRisk management at Caisse des Dépôts Group is organized on a

three-tier basis, at the levels of the business line, institution and

group. At the group level, Central Control sets standards and

approves systems and methods. The Risk Management Department

is responsible, at the level of the Public Institution, for monitoring

the financial risk to which portfolios are exposed.

Regarding credit risk, a Counterparty Risk Committee meets each

month and is responsible for:

– defining and monitoring the credit risk policy;

– approving the method for setting counterparty limits, based on

proposals by Risk Management;

– setting limits by counterparty, based on proposals by Risk

Management, bearing in mind that the limits for each portfolio are

independent of one another.

Risk Management is responsible for controlling day by day that each

financial department complies with the limits set. When proposing limits,

this work is based on summary data, mainly from the analyses provi-

ded by CDC IXIS, credit rating agencies and published information.

At end-2002, the Savings Funds’ largest commitment by counter-

party of the fixed income portfolios was the French State, with 62%.

The activity of the Savings Funds is regulated, and until December

31, 1999 the use of derivative products was limited mainly to inter-

est rate swaps entered into for micro-hedging purposes, namely to

cover specific transactions as authorized or requested by the super-

visory authorities. These transactions, which are recorded off-

balance sheet, totaled €1.9 billion as of December 31, 2002, of

which €1.2 billion was with Crédit Foncier in connection with PLI

loans.

In July 1999, the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industry

authorized the Savings Funds to make more frequent use of deri-

vative products, with a view to reducing portfolio sensitivity.

Therefore, the Savings Funds have entered into a number of tran-

sactions since 2000 that involve derivatives such as swaps and

notional contracts traded on the MATIF.

At year-end, the derivative volume totaled €3.5 billion; swap

contracts totaling €2.7 billion were entered into during the year.

IV – Financial statements presentation

The financial statements present the overall situation of the Savings

Funds centralized by Caisse des Dépôts.

(1) Codevi deposits have been used to finance an issue of industrial development securities (Titres pour le Développement Industriel, or TDI) paying interest atthe Codevi rate plus 1.5%. Amounts capitalized on deposits are centralized the following year.(2) Until December 31, 1998 and in accordance with the memorandum of April 27, 1991 on requiring funds collected on Crédit Mutuel’s Livret Bleu to be used inthe public interest, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations centralized 85% of the funds deposited with Crédit Mutuel and invested them for 15% in money marketinstruments, with the remaining 85% lent to the Livret A to finance public housing. Under the agreement of December 31, 1998, Crédit Mutuel centralized 100%of its deposits with Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations. The Livret Bleu section has been transferred to the CEP Livret A and the CNE Livrets A and B for 60%and 40%, respectively, i.e. €8.73 billion and €5.82 billion as of December 31, 2002 (compared with €8.27 billion and €5.51 billion the previous year).(3) Capitalized interest takes into account cumulative interest accrued during the year as well as specific items (method of centralization of the LEP Funds, etc.).It therefore is not directly comparable with accrued interest reported in the table below.

Since the centralizing of savings deposits is analyzed fundamentally by reference to the nature of the Savings Funds centralized, custo-

mer deposits (including amounts due to financial institutions) are grouped under the heading of “Centralized deposits”. As of December

31, 2002 deposits by financial institutions amounted to €112,306.1 million (up from €107,709.4 million the previous year), accrued inter-

est included.

A provision has therefore been booked to cover the resultingactuarial loss adjusted to take account of payments and new loan programs.(2) These loans have been rescheduled and now generate interest at rates that are below the cost of the related resources. A provision has therefore been booked to cover the future actuarial loss arising from this rescheduling.
