3. Derivative financial instruments

FMO utilizes the following derivative instruments for both hedging and non-hedging purposes: 

  • (Cross-currency) interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another. Swaps result in an economic exchange of currency or interest rate exposure (for example, fixed rate or floating rate) or a combination of all these (i.e. cross-currency interest rate swaps).
  • Currency forwards represent commitments to purchase foreign and domestic currency, including undelivered spot transactions.


The following table summarizes the notional amounts and the fair values of the 'derivatives other than hedging instruments'. These derivatives are held to reduce interest rate risks and currency risks but do not meet the specified criteria to apply hedge accounting. The following table also includes derivatives related to the asset portfolio.

The increased notionals of derivatives other than hedging instruments are due to the hedging of interest rate and foreign exchange risks for loans in local currencies and funding in currencies other than euros and US dollars. FMO does not apply hedge accounting for these derivatives. FMO does not hold derivatives for trading purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, FMO recognized an ineffectiveness of €1.0 million net profit (2009: €0.2 million net loss) on the fair value hedges. The loss on the hedging instruments amounted to €12.8 million (2009: €7.2 million gain). The profit on hedged items attributable to the hedged risk amounted to €13.8 million (2009: €7.4 million loss).

Pension schemes

FMO has established a number of pension schemes covering all its employees. Most of the pension schemes are average salary-defined benefit plans. FMO has outsourced the management of the pension assets to an asset manager. FMO has agreed strict guidelines with the asset manager. The assets of the funded plans are held independently of FMO's assets by the insurance company in separately administered funds. Independent actuaries value the schemes every year using the projected unit credit method. The latest actuarial valuations were carried out on December 31, 2010.

Determination of expected return on assets
An important element for financial reporting is the assumption for return on assets (ROA). The ROA is updated at least annually, taking into consideration the pension plan's asset allocation, historical returns on the types of assets held in the fund, and the current economic environment. Based on these factors, it is expected that the fund's assets will earn an average percentage per year over the long term. This estimate takes into account a deduction for administrative expenses and investment manager's fees paid from the fund. For estimation purposes, it is assumed the long-term asset mix will be consistent with the current mix. Changes in the asset mix could impact the amount of recorded pension income or expense, the funded status of the plan, and the need for future cash contributions. The actual return on plan assets was 14.3% (2009: 8.5%).

The categories of the plan assets can be summarized as follows.

22. Shareholders’ equity

Share capital

The authorized capital amounts to €45,380, consisting of 51% A shares of €22.69 each, which are held only by the State, and 49% B shares, also of €22.69 each, which are held by private investors. The voting rights for A shares and B shares are equal. The equity of the company comprises three reserves, which result from the Agreement State-FMO of November 16, 1998. These are the share premium reserve, the development fund and the contractual reserve. As long as the company continues its activities, these reserves are not available to the shareholders. Upon liquidation of FMO these reserves fall due to the State, after settlement of the contractual return to the shareholders.
