restatement (see note 2.1).
In 2016, Rabobank sold loans as part of its strategy and normal
business operations. Mortgage loans of EUR 1.5 billion were
sold to insurance companies. FGH Bank sold real estate loans for
an amount of EUR 0.2 billion and Obvion reduced its balance
sheet with EUR 1.4 billion through a sale of Dutch mortgages.
Rabobank acquired financial and non-financial assets during the
year by taking possession of collateral with an estimated value
of 61 (2015: 62). It is the policy of Rabobank to sell these assets
in the reasonably foreseeable future. Yields are allocated to
repay the outstanding amount.

Reclassified assets
In 2008, based on the amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7,
'Reclassification of financial assets', Rabobank reclassified
a number of 'Financial assets held for trading' and 'Available-for-
sale financial assets' to 'Loans and advances to customers' and
'Loans and advances to banks'.
Rabobank has identified assets to which this amendment
applies, whereby the intention has clearly shifted from
holding the securities for the near future as opposed to
selling or trading them in the short term. The reclassifications
were effected as of 1 July 2008 at their fair value at the time.
This note provides details on the impact of the reclassifications
at Rabobank.
The table below shows the carrying amounts and fair values of
the reclassified assets.

If the reclassification had not been made, net profit
for the assets held for trading would have been
3 higher (2015: 2 higher). The change in the equity position
in 2016 would have been 33 more positive (2015: 43 more
negative) if the reclassification of the available-for-sale financial
assets had not been carried out.
Following reclassification, the reclassified financial assets made
the following contribution to operating profit before taxation:
