CONTENTS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES APPLIED BY BNP PARIBAS HOME LOAN SFH
The financial statements of BNP Paribas Home Loan SFH have been prepared in accordance with the general accounting principles applicable in France to banking institutions, as set out in the following regulations:
- ANC n°2014-07 of 26 November 2014 and its amending regulations since that date,
- ANC n°2014-03 of 5 June 2014 on the General Chart of Accounts and its amending regulations since that date, including ANC regulations n°2022-06 of 4 November 2022 and n°2023-03 of 7 July 2023 applicable to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2025 (no impact on the financial year).
The income statement at 31 December 2025 and the related notes to the financial statements present comparative information at 31 December 2024.
The basic method chosen for assessing the elements listed in the financial statements is the historical cost method.
The following are main methods used:
RECEIVABLES DUE FROM CREDIT INSTITUTIONS AND CUSTOMERS
Receivables from credit institutions include all loans and advances, including subordinated loans and advances, held in connection with banking operations with credit institutions, with the exception of loans and advances evidenced by a security. They also include securities received under repurchase agreements, regardless of the type of operation, and receivables relating to securities delivered under repurchase agreements. They are broken down into sight and term loans.
Receivables from credit institutions and customers are recorded in the balance sheet at their nominal value plus accrued interest not yet due.
DEBTS REPRESENTED BY A SECURITY
Debts represented by a security are recorded at amortized cost.
The accrued interest not yet due on these securities is recorded in a related debt account and offset against the income statement.
Bond issue and redemption premiums are amortised on an actuarial basis over the life of the bonds, with costs relating to their issue spread over the same period on a straight-line basis.
RECORDING INCOME AND EXPENSES
Interest and similar commissions are recorded for their accrued amount, recorded pro rata temporis.
Commissions not treated as interest and corresponding to the provision of services are recorded on the date on which the service is provided or on a pro rata basis over the duration of the service provided when the service is continuous.
Foreign currency income and expenses are recorded at their equivalent value on the operation date.
INFORMATION ON RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Given the company’s business and its ownership structure (99.99%-owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas SA), the requirements of ANC n°2014-07 on the presentation of related party disclosures are not applicable.

As regards corporation tax, in accordance with the terms of the tax consolidation agreement, tax is determined by the subsidiary, as in the absence of tax consolidation.
The amount thus calculated, after deduction of any tax credits, is due to the parent company, BNP PARIBAS SA.

Appointment of the Statutory Auditors
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of BNP PARIBAS HOME LOAN SFH by the Annual General Meeting held on June 4, 2012 for Deloitte & Associés, and on April 26, 2024 for ERNST & YOUNG et Autres.
As at 31 December 2025, Deloitte & Associés and ERNST & YOUNG et Autres were in the fourteenth year and the second year of total uninterrupted engagement, respectively.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with French accounting principles, and for implementing the internal control procedures it deems necessary for the preparation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless it expects to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.
The Board of Directors acting as Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
Statutory Auditors’ responsibilities relating to the audit of the financial statements
Objective and audit approach
Our role is to issue a report on the financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.
As specified in Article L. 821-55 of the French Commercial Code, our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the Statutory Auditors exercise professional judgement throughout the audit. They also:
- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures in response to those risks and obtain audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for their opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control;
- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management and the related disclosures in the financial statements;
- assess the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of their audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the Statutory Auditors conclude that a material uncertainty exists, they are required to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or are inadequate, to issue a qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion;
- evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements and assess whether these statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Report to the Board of Directors acting as audit committee
We submit a report to the Board of Directors acting as audit committee which includes, in particular, a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report any significant deficiencies in internal control, if any, that we have identified regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
Our report to the Board of Directors acting as audit committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and which constitute the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.
We also provide the Board of Directors acting as audit committee, , with the declaration required by Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France, as defined in particular in Articles L.821-27 à L.821-34 of the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss with the Board of Directors acting as audit committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards.
