  3. LIQUIDITY

  RISK [extract]

  The solvency and liquidity of the Volkswagen Group are ensured at all times by rolling liquidity planning, a liquidity

  reserve in the form of cash, confirmed credit lines and globally available debt issuance programs.

  Local cash funds in certain countries (e.g. Brazil, Argentina, Ukraine, Malaysia, India and Taiwan) are only available

  to the Group for cross-border transactions subject to exchange controls. There are no significant restrictions over and

  above these.

  The following overview shows the contractual undiscounted cash flows from financial instruments.

  When calculating cash outflows related to put options and compensation rights, it was assumed that shares would be

  tendered at the earliest possible repayment date.

  Derivatives comprise both cash flows from derivative financial instruments with negative fair values and cash flows

  from derivatives with positive fair values for which gross settlement has been agreed. The cash outflows from

  derivatives for which gross settlement has been agreed are matched in part by cash inflows. These cash inflows are

  not reported in the maturity analysis. If these cash inflows were also recognized, the cash outflows presented would

  be substantially lower.

  The cash outflows from irrevocable credit commitments are presented in note 38, classified by contractual maturities.

  The maximum potential liability under financial guarantees amounted to €674 million as of December 31, 2014.

  Financial guarantees are assumed to be due immediately in all cases. They relate primarily to guarantees.

  12. Financial

  instruments – maturity analysis [extracts]

  Assets and liabilities by contractual cash flow maturity [extract]

  The tables below show the contractual undiscounted cash flows receivable and payable, up to a period of 20 years,

  including future receipts and payments of interest of financial assets and liabilities by contractual maturity.

  Financial liabilities are included at the earliest date on which the counterparty can require repayment, regardless of

  whether or not such early repayment results in a penalty. If the repayment of a financial instrument is triggered by, or

  is subject to, specific criteria such as market price hurdles being reached, the asset is included in the time band that

  contains the latest date on which it can be repaid, regardless of early repayment.

  The liability is included in the time band that contains the earliest possible date on which the conditions could be

  fulfilled, without considering the probability of the conditions being met.

  For example, if a structured note is automatically prepaid when an equity index exceeds a certain level, the cash

  outflow will be included in the less than three months period, whatever the level of the index at the year end. The

  settlement date of debt securities in issue, issued by certain securitisation vehicles consolidated by RBS, depends on

  when cash flows are received from the securitised assets. Where these assets are prepayable, the timing of the cash

  outflow relating to securities assumes that each asset will be prepaid at the earliest possible date. As the repayments

  of assets and liabilities are linked, the repayment of assets in securitisations is shown on the earliest date that the asset can be prepaid, as this is the basis used for liabilities.

  The principal amounts of financial assets and liabilities that are repayable after 20 years or where the counterparty has no right to repayment of the principal are excluded from the table, as are interest payments after 20 years.

  Held-for-trading assets of £498.2 billion (2013 – £452.1 billion; 2012 – £666.5 billion) and liabilities of £477.1 billion (2013

  – £423.3 billion; 2012 – £628.2 billion) have been excluded from the following tables in view of their short term nature.

  Unilever, Nestlé, Volkswagen and Royal Bank of Scotland applied IAS 39 in these

  financial statements but the disclosure requirements in respect of liquidity risk are

  unchanged under IFRS 9.

  5.4.3

  Management of associated liquidity risk

  In addition to the maturity analyses for financial liabilities, the entity should provide a

  description of how it manages the liquidity risk inherent in those analyses. [IFRS 7.39(c)].

  These disclosures are, in effect, intended to ‘reconcile’ the maturity analyses which are

  prepared on a worst case scenario notion (see 5.4.2 above) with how an entity actually

  manages liquidity risk (see 5.4.1 above).13

  It is emphasised that a maturity analysis of financial assets held for managing liquidity risk

  (e.g. financial assets that are readily saleable or expected to generate cash inflows to meet

  cash outflows on financial liabilities) is required if that information is necessary to enable

  users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of the entity’s liquidity risk.

  [IFRS 7.B11E, BC58D]. IFRS 7 does not specify the basis on which such an analysis should be

  provided and in practice they are often prepared on the basis of expected rather than

  contractual maturities as this is considered more relevant information.

  Other factors that might be considered when making this disclosure include, but are not

  limited to, whether the entity: [IFRS 7.B11F]

  • has committed borrowing facilities (e.g. commercial paper facilities) or other lines

  of credit (e.g. stand-by credit facilities) that it can access to meet liquidity needs;

  • holds deposits at central banks to meet liquidity needs;

  • has very diverse funding sources;

  • has significant concentrations of liquidity risk in either its assets or its funding sources;

  • has internal control processes and contingency plans for managing liquidity risk;

  • has instruments that include accelerated repayment terms (e.g. on the downgrade

  of the entity’s credit rating);

  • has instruments that could require the posting of collateral (e.g. margin calls for

  derivatives);

  • has instruments that allow the entity to choose whether it settles its financial liabilities

  by delivering cash (or another financial asset) or by delivering its own shares; or

  • has instruments that are subject to master netting agreements.

  5.4.4

  Puttable financial instruments classified as equity

  Certain puttable financial instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities are

  classified as equity instruments (see Chapter 43 at 4.6). In spite of this classification, the

  IASB recognises that these instruments give rise to liquidity risk and consequently

  requires the following disclosures about them: [IAS 1.136A]

  • summary quantitative data about the amount classified as equity;

  • the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its obligation to

  repurchase or redeem the instruments when required to do so by the instrument

  holders, including any changes from the previous period;

  • the expected cash outflow on redemption or repurchase of that class of financial

  instruments; and

  • information about how the expected cash outflow on redemption or repurchase

  was determined.

  4222 Chapter 50

  5.5 Market

  risk

  IFRS 7 requires entities to provide disclosure of their sensitivity to market risk in one of

  two ways which are set out at 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 below. The sensitivity analyses should

  cover the whole of an entity’s business, but different types of sensitivity analysis may be

  provided for different classes of financial instruments. [IFRS 7.B21]. This is considered by

  the IASB to be simpler and more suitable than the disclosure of terms and conditions of

  financial instruments previously required by IAS 32 and for which there is no direct

  equivalent within IFRS 7. [IFRS 7.BC59].

  No sensitivity analysis is required for financial instruments that an entity classifies as

  equity instruments. Such instruments are not remeasured so that neither profit or loss

  nor equity will be affected by the equity price risk of those instruments. [IFRS 7.B28].

  5.5.1

  ‘Basic’ sensitivity analysis

  Except where the disclosures set out at 5.5.2 below are provided, entities should

  disclose: [IFRS 7.40]

  • a sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk to which the entity is exposed at

  the reporting date, showing how profit or loss and equity would have been affected

  by changes in the relevant risk variable that were reasonably possible at that date.

  The sensitivity of profit or loss (which arises, for example, from instruments measured

  at fair value through profit or loss) should be disclosed separately from the sensitivity

  of equity (which arises, for example, from investments in equity instruments whose

  changes in fair value are presented in other comprehensive income). [IFRS 7.B27].

  The term ‘profit or loss’ is used in IAS 1 to mean profit after tax. Therefore, it might well

  be argued that the amounts disclosed should take account of any related tax effects, a

  view corroborated by the illustrative disclosures in the implementation guidance to

  IFRS 7 (see Example 50.10 below). However, as noted below, the application guidance

  suggests this requirement should (and the implementation guidance might suggest it

  could) be met by disclosing the impact on interest expense, a pre-tax measure of profit.

  Given this conflicting guidance, it is difficult to say that a pre-tax approach fails to

  comply with the standard and, in practice, both approaches are seen.

  Where a post-tax figure is disclosed, it will not always be straightforward to

  determine the related tax effects, especially for a multinational group, and it may be

  appropriate to use the guidance in Chapter 29 at 10 which deals with the allocation

  of income tax between profit or loss, other comprehensive income and eq
uity.

  This requirement focuses exclusively on accounting sensitivity, and does not

  include market risk sensitivities that do not directly impact profit and loss or

  equity, e.g. interest rate risk arising on fixed rate financial assets held at amortised

  cost. In December 2008, the IASB considered encouraging entities to discuss the

  effect of changes in the relevant risk variable on economic value not manifest in

  profit and loss or equity, but decided not to;14

  • the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis; and

  • changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used, and the

  reasons for such changes.

  instruments:

  Presentation and disclosure 4223

  The standard contains a reminder of the general guidance at 3.1 above and explains that

  an entity should decide how it aggregates information to display the overall picture

  without combining information with different characteristics about exposures to risks

  from significantly different economic environments. For example, an entity that trades

  financial instruments might disclose this information separately for financial

  instruments held for trading and those not held for trading. Similarly, an entity would

  not aggregate its exposure to market risks from areas of hyperinflation with its exposure

  to the same market risks from areas of very low inflation. However, an entity that has

  exposure to only one type of market risk in only one economic environment, would not

  show disaggregated information. [IFRS 7.B17].

  Risk variables that are relevant to disclosing market risk include, but are not limited to:

  [IFRS 7.IG32]

  • the yield curve of market interest rates.

  It may be necessary to consider both parallel and non-parallel shifts in the yield curve;

  • foreign exchange rates.

  The standard requires a sensitivity analysis to be disclosed for each currency to

  which an entity has significant exposure; [IFRS 7.B24]

  • prices of equity instruments; and

  • market prices of commodities.

  When disclosing how profit or loss and equity would have been affected by changes in
