Debt securities issued are recorded at fair value plus transaction costs upon initial recognition. Fair value corresponds to the consideration received. Subsequently, they are remeasured at amortised cost. The difference between issue price and redemption price of the security is amortised over the duration of the debt security using the effective interest method (0.43 per cent debenture 2021; 0.82 per cent debenture 2024).

All proposals made by the Board of Directors were approved at the 53rd annual general meeting of VP Bank in Vaduz on Friday, 29 April 2016. The annual general meeting also approved the proposal of the Board of Directors that the Articles of Incorporation be changed for the conversion of bearer shares into registered shares. Developments at an international level necessitate greater transparency regarding the ownership structures of legal entities. In this context, the Board of Directors proposed that the listed VP Bank bearer shares each with a nominal value of CHF 10.00 be converted into registered shares A with the same nominal value. The existing, non-exchange-listed registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 1.00 remain unchanged as registered shares B and will not be traded on the stock exchange in future either. The first trading day for the registered shares A was on 6 May 2016.

Fair Value of financial instruments
The following table shows the fair values of financial instruments based on the valuation methods and assumptions set out below. This table is presented because not all financial instruments are disclosed at their fair values in the consolidated financial statements. Fair value equates to the price that would be realised in an orderly transaction between market participants at the date of measurement upon sale of the asset or would be paid in transferring the liability.

The following valuation methods are used to determine the fair value of on-balance-sheet financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, money market paper
For the balance-sheet-items “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Receivables arising from money market paper”, which do not have a published market value on a recognised stock exchange or on a representative market, the fair value corresponds to the amount payable at the balance-sheet date.
Due from/to banks and customers, medium-term notes, debenture issues
In determining the fair value of amounts due from/to banks, due from/to customers (including mortgage receivables and due to customers in the form of savings and deposits), as well as of medium-term notes and debenture issues with a fixed maturity or a refinancing profile, the net present value method is applied (discounting of monetary flows with swap rates corresponding to the respective term). For products whose interest or payment flows cannot be determined in advance, replicating portfolios are used.
Trading portfolios, trading portfolios pledged as security, financial instruments at fair value
Fair value corresponds to market value for the majority of these financial instruments. The fair value of non-exchange-listed financial instruments (in particular for structured credit loans) is determined only on the basis of external traders’ prices or pricing models which are based on prices and interest rates in an observable, active and liquid market.
Derivative financial instruments
For the majority of the positive and negative replacement values, the fair value equates to the market value. The fair value for derivative instruments without market value is determined using uniform models. These valuation models take account of the relevant parameters such as contract specifications, the market price of the underlying security, the yield curve and volatility.
Valuation methods for financial instruments
The fair value of listed securities held for trading purposes or as financial instruments, as well as that of listed derivatives and other financial instruments with a price established in an active market, is determined on the basis of current market value (Level 1). Valuation methods or pricing models are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments if no direct market prices are available. If possible, the underlying assumptions are based on observed market prices or other market indicators as at the balance-sheet date (Level 2). For most of the derivatives traded over the counter, as well as for other financial instruments that are not traded in an active market, fair value is determined by means of valuation methods or pricing models. Among the most frequently applied of those methods and models are cash-value-based forward pricing and swap models, as well as options pricing models such as the Black-Scholes model or derivations thereof. The fair values arrived at on the basis of these methods and models are influenced to a significant degree by the choice of the specific valuation model and the underlying assumptions applied, for example the amounts and time sequence of future cash flows, discount rates, volatilities and/or credit risks. If neither current market prices nor valuation methods/models based on observable market data can be drawn on for the purpose of determining fair value, then valuation methods or pricing models supported by realistic assumptions derived from actual market data are used (Level 3). Level 3 principally includes investment funds, for which an obligatory net asset value is not published at least on a quarterly basis. The fair value of these positions is, as a rule, computed on the basis of external estimates by experts in relation to the level of future distributions of fund units, or equates to the acquisition cost of the securities less any applicable valuation allowances.

Sensitivity of fair values of Level 3 financial instruments
Changes in the net asset values of investment funds lead to corresponding changes in the fair values of these financial instruments. A realistic change in the basic assumptions or estimated values has no material impact on the statement of income, other comprehensive income or the equity of VP Bank Group’s shareholders.
17 Acquisition (Excerpt from the audited semi-annual report 2015)
No acquisitions occurred during the first semester 2016.
VP Bank Group continues to pursue the strategy of growth through acquisition. Following receipt of the regulatory approval of the Financial Market Authority (FMA) Liechtenstein, VP Bank Ltd, Vaduz, acquired the entire share capital of Centrum Bank AG, Vaduz, as of 7 January 2015. Centrum Bank AG, Vaduz, thus became a 100-per cent owned subsidiary company of VP Bank Ltd, Vaduz. The legal merger between VP Bank Ltd and Centrum Bank AG was consummated on 30 April 2015.
Marxer Stiftung für Bank- und Unternehmenswerte participated in the capital of VP Bank to the equivalent amount. VP Bank Group thereby welcomes a further anchor shareholder in this reliable and long-term-oriented Liechtenstein family.
The following assets and liabilities were acquired as part of the merger:

Assets under management of CHF 6.7 billion and custody assets of CHF 0.4 billion were taken over as part of the acquisition. The transaction gave rise to a “bargain purchase” of TCHF 49,982 as well as intangible assets (client relationships) of TCHF 34,045. The client relationships will be amortised over 10 years.
The costs of the transaction incurred in the reporting period (advisory, legal, auditing, valuation costs, etc.) amount to CHF 2.1 million and are recognised in general and administrative expenses (note 7). The costs for the capital increase accompanying the transaction, in compliance with IFRS, were not taken to income but charged to capital reserves and amount to CHF 0.5 million for the current period. The resulting “bargain purchase” can be ascribed in particular to two specific reasons. On the one hand, it must be taken into consideration that the whole restructuring and integration costs in connection with this transaction are borne by VP Bank. On the other hand, the fact that the seller has become an anchor shareholder in VP Bank in an equivalent amount is also to be taken into account. The market values underlying the sales price of the bearer shares are significantly lower than the intrinsic value of the bearer share.
The bearer shares of VP Bank have been traded on the stock exchange at a price under their carrying value. Both effects combined led to the disclosed “bargain purchase”. The latter was taken to income under “Other income” (note 5).
Centrum Bank was merged with VP Bank Ltd on 30 April 2015 and fully integrated into VP Bank, Vaduz. Because of the merger of the various organisational units, it is not always possible to show the impact of the acquired company on the profit and loss account.
