German term or phrase: Sicherheitseinbehalt a. BNK (netto)

On a list of accounts making up the balance sheet, I have a heading:
Grundstücke, grundstücks-gleiche Rechte und Bauteneinschließlich der Bautenauf fremden Grundstücken
(Land, leasehold rights and buildings, including buildings on non-owned land) and then four items and their costs:

Grundstück
Bauwerk
Baunebenkosten
Sicherheitseinbehalt a. BNK (netto)

The first three are fine. I'm swaying towards security deposit excluding net ancillary construction costs for the fourth term, for lack of a better choice. What does the a stand for? außer? Suggestion for term entered at the top would be appreciated. Thanks!

Share of net BNK set aside/held back as security

Explanation:
Yes, BNK *is* definitely equivalent of "Baunebenkosten", "a." seems to be "auf"

"Baunebenkosten" might be rendered somewhere along the lines of "ancillary construction cost"

one more note on \"auf\":

The whole expression would be \"Sicherheitseinbehalt *auf* Baunebenkosten (netto)\", i.e. in other German words \"der auf die Baunebenkosten (netto) entfallende Sicherheitseinbehalt\".

Sicheheitseinbehalt a. BNK

Explanation:
I quite agree with your version. I have found a. used to mean anrechenbar, which would be tax deductible in this case. It is particularly common with regard to historic buildings and structures, though presumably not exclusively so.
