Paragraph 122 of Annex V (FINREP) of Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 13 ITS on Supervisory Reporting of institutions (ITS) gives further guidance and asks to include those items in template F 31.00 (F 31.01 + F 31.02) which cover the gains and losses on derecognition of non-financial assets, which have been generated by transactions with related parties and that are part of a designated list of line items of the "Statement of profit or loss", among which is line "Gains or losses on derecognition of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates".

In the published version of FINREP there is no exact corresponding item "gains or losses on derecognition of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates" but an item "gains or (-) losses on derecognition of non-financial assets, net". In order to find a definition for "non-financial" the balance sheet items are consulted: FINREP template F 01.01 on balance sheet assets holds a line for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in row r260 making reference to IAS 1.54 (e) investments accounting for using the at equity method. "An entity with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee shall account for its investment in an associate or a joint venture using the equity method except when that investment qualifies for exemption in accordance with paragraphs 17-19" of IAS 28. Accordingly, IAS 28 is the relevant standard for this kind of investments; IAS 39 of the future IFRS 9 financial instruments will thus not be applicable for this kind of positions. As a result, the investments in associates and joint ventures which are included in r260 of the balance sheet assets have to be reported accordingly in the statement of profit and loss. As investments in associates and joint ventures for which IAS 28 is applicable are excluded from the standard applying for financial instruments and are thus to be considered as non-financial assets in the context of this information, the gains or losses from those assets have to be included in template F 02.00 r330 of the statement of profit and loss for non-financial instruments. It follows from this that those gains and losses in r330 of template F 02.00 shall be further broken down in template F 31.00, e.g. template F 31.02 row 070.

Before entering into the thrust of the question, it is important to refer to paragraphs 119 and 120 of Annex V of the ITS on supervisory reporting, which sets the scope of the information to be reported in templates F 31.01 and F 31.02. In other words, not all the transactions with related parties are to be reported there, since the consolidation process may remove some of them.

To come back to the question asked:

• If a financial institution sells a part of its equity investment in a associate under {F 01.01, r260} to a third party (i.e., a non-related party), nothing shall be reported in F 31.02.
• When the counterparty is a related party and there are pending amounts not fully eliminated in the consolidation process, the respective amount should be reported in {F 31.02, r070}. These amounts are reported in {F 02.00, r 330, c010} "gains or (-) losses on derecognition of non-financial assets, net" in the statement of profit or loss.
