SUMMARY OF THE BANK'S BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

The basic characteristics of the business environment during 2001 can be briefly summarized as follows:

•• Macro-economic stabilization and re-entry of the country in international financial organizations,•• The markedly restrictive character of the monetary, credit and foreign exchange policies, with a

24.5% mobilization of the Dinar potential,•• High level of tax obligations despite the amendments of the tax regulations,•• Decrease in the annual retail price rise from 113.3% in 2000 to 38.7% in 2001,•• Introduction of the floating exchange rate and its maintenance at a relatively stable level, •• Growth of the GDP product at the rate of 5.5%•• Reduction of the external debt of the country by its write-off by the Paris Club,•• Intensification of the process of credit portfolio control, and of capital adequacy assessment by the

monetary authorities with a view to restructuring the entire banking system in the country.

The results Delta Banka achieved in 2001 placed it at lead position among Yugoslav banks. An objectiveassessment of the Bank's performance can be made on the basis of the following indicators:

•• High level of Dinar and foreign exchange liquidity allowing the Bank to meet in time all its financial obligations and transactions, and depositors to dispose in unhampered manner of their own assets,

•• Deposit potential of the Bank increased significantly, as did the number of depositors,•• High growth in households' foreign exchange savings was registered, and the volume of

transactions carried out with households has gone up as well, •• An important volume of international payment transactions was recorded,•• The Bank's credit portfolio was largely marked by the companies in the areas of

telecommunications, electric power industry, pharmaceuticals, tobacco industry, trading in gas and oil, beer and cement production, as well as for the public sector (public utilities infrastructureand social activities),

•• High rate of recovery of the claims equal to 95.13% is the result of the maximum backing of credits and credit dispersion by beneficiaries and maturity terms,

•• Necessary preparations have been carried out for launching operations with payment cards in 2002.

BANK STAFF

As of 31 December 2001 the Bank employed 479 workers, out of which 230, or 48% are university graduates. Branch offices employ 319 people.

In 2001, a great attention was dedicated to professional education and training of the staff members. Thisis in line with one of the basic ideas cherished in Delta Banka that only by constant educating of theemployees it is possible to keep pace with modern banking flows, and to respond to any challenge in business.

The dynamic management team, experience and professionalism of the staff, application of world businessstandards and a good knowledge of the local environment are only a part of the advantages making DeltaBanka a leading Yugoslav bank.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF DELTA BANKA A.D., BEOGRAD:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Delta Banka A.D., Beograd, ("the Bank") as of31 December 2001, and the related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for theyear then ended. These financial statements, set out on pages 15 to 38, are the responsibility ofthe Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statementsbased on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a testbasis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit alsoincludes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe thatour audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, thefinancial position of the Bank as of 31 December 2001, and the results of its operations and its cashflows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting convention and policies disclosedin notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements.

Without qualifying our opinion we draw attention to the following matters:

(a) The Bank has made adjustments to its statutory financial statements as of, and for the yearended 31 December 2001, for the first time in order to present them in accordance with theaccounting convention and policies disclosed in notes 2 and 3. Since it was impracticable to adjustthe comparative statements of income and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2000, forthey have not been prepared in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reportingyear, they have been omitted from the accompanying financial statements. The omitted financial statements are shown in Appendix 2, not covered by this auditors’ opinion.

(b) As explained in note 24b, the Bank is required to maintain certain minimum or maximum ratioswith respect to its activities and composition of risk assets in compliance with the Yugoslav Lawon Banks and Other Financial Organizations and the National Bank of Yugoslavia regulations. Asof 31 December 2001, only the ratio of property and equipment as a percentage of equity of39.60% was higher than the prescribed limit of 20%. Presently, this ratio is being reconsidered bythe National Bank of Yugoslavia and is expected to be increased.

(c) As disclosed in note 16, the Bank’s management believes that the value of property and equipment reported in these financial statements is understated. However, as no independent valuation of property and equipment was performed, it was not practicable to determine theamount of understatement, if any.

1. BANK’S ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATING POLICY

Delta Banka A.D., Beograd (hereinafter "the Bank") is a shareholding company established in 1991and registered in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for payment transfers, credit and depositactivities in the country and abroad, and in accordance with the Yugoslav law, is to operate on principles of liquidity, security of placements and profitability.

On 1 July 2001 the Bank acquired Tigar banka A.D., Pirot. The shareholders of the acquired bankbecame the Bank’s shareholders thereby increasing the capital of the Bank was increased by Dinar93,796 thousand. By its decision dated 5 October 2001, the Commercial Court in Belgradeapproved this increase of capital.

As of 31 December 2001, the Bank’s shares were owned by three shareholders: Hemslade TradingLtd., Cyprus, Delta M, Beograd and Tigar, Pirot who hold 92.27%, 4.28% and 3.45% of the Bank’soutstanding shares, respectively. Hemslade Trading Ltd., Cyprus and Delta M, Beograd are members of the group of companies referred to as the Delta Group.

As of 31 December 2001, the Bank was comprised of a Head office in Belgrade and thirtybranch offices throughout the country.

During FY 2001, the Bank operated in an environment characterized by structural reforms occuring within commercial, banking and fiscal sectors of the Yugoslav economy. The main goalsof the federal and republic governments in 2001 were to maintain the stability of the domesticcurrency and to appease the inflation rate. In an effort to achieve these policy aims, the government moved ahead with the full restructuring of the banking sector. With a view toacchieving this end, the National Bank of Yugoslavia prepared a detailed strategy plan of solutionsbeginning with a diagnostic review of the financial position of all existing banks. Concurrently, theNBY defined a deadline before which all banks were required to comply with the applicableBanking Law and National Bank of Yugoslavia Directives.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING CONVENTIONS

2.1. Accounting Convention

The Bank maintains its accounting records and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with the Yugoslav accounting standards and regulations, and requirements stipulatedby the Law on Banks and other Financial Institutions and the National Bank of Yugoslavia Directives.

The Yugoslav accounting standards and regulations that were applied for preparation of statutory financial statements depart from International Accounting Standards as specified below:

• Non-application of IAS 29, "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies". As a result, non-monetary and certain monetary assets and equity have been revalued by applying officially

Annual Report 2001

19

Page 20: Annual Report 2001 - Banca Intesa Beograd...Delta Banka A.D. Beograd was founded 10 years ago as an universal bank able to fully, correctly and efficiently respond to the broad range

published retail price indices. However, no revaluation of the statement of income for the yearended 31 December 2000 was made and, accordingly, it is not presented in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, as required by IAS 29.

• The Bank’s taxation policy is based on Yugoslav tax regulations and differs from IAS 12, "IncomeTaxes" in that Yugoslav tax regulations do not recognize temporary differences. Accordingly, nodeferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized.

• Due to undeveloped financial markets, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities is notdetermined in accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39, "Financial instruments".

• Impairment of assets is not determined in accordance with IAS 36, "Impairment of assets".

Adjustments to statutory financial statements in order to present them in the format required byInternational Accounting Standards were made for the first time, as the accounting basis as of 31December 2001. Accordingly, these financial statements differ from the statutory financial statements and are presented in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 3. Theadjustments made to the statutory balance sheet are shown in Appendix 1.

The Bank’s functional currency is the Yugoslav Dinar.

Comparative Figures

Comparative financial statements as of, and for the year ended, 31 December 2000 have been pre-pared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of non-monetary andcertain monetary assets and equity, based on officially published retail price indices.

Certain reclassifications were made to present the comparative balance sheet in the formatrequired by International Accounting Standards, however it was impracticable to make any adjustments thereto.

Because the comparative figures shown in the statements of income and cash flows for the yearended 31 December 2000 are not presented in terms of the measuring unit current at the end ofthe reporting period, and since it was impracticable to make adjustments thereto, these statements are omitted from the accompanying financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1. Income and Expense Recognition

Interest income and interest expense, including penalty interest, and other operating income andexpenses are accounted for on an accrual basis.

In comformity with thenew accounting regulations applicable for the FY 2001, the depreciation charge has been revaluedby applying the officially published revaluation coefficients.

3.9. Taxes and Contributions

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense represents an amount calculated and payable under Yugoslav tax law. Taxauthorities determine the estimated monthly advance of income tax payable.

The Bank‘s effective income tax rate is 20% and is payable on the taxable base reported in the taxreturns. The taxable base reported in the tax returns includes the profit shown in the statutorystatement of income, as adjusted for permanent differences that are defined by the Yugoslav taxlaw. Such adjustments comprise mainly adding back certain disallowed expenses and, up to 30June 2001, deducting certain capital expenditures and investments incurred during the year, up tothe percentage determined by the applicable tax rules. After 30 June 2001, subsequent to amendments in the tax rules, certain capital expenditures and investments became deductiblefrom the income tax expense. The Yugoslav tax law does not recognize temporary differences andaccordingly, no deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized.

The Yugoslav tax law does not allow tax losses of the current period to be used to recover taxespaid within a specific carry-back period. However, the current year losses may be used to decreasetaxable profits for future periods - but for no longer than five years.

Indirect taxes and contributions

Indirect taxes and contributions include property taxes, employer contributions on salaries, andvarious other taxes and contributions paid pursuant to republic and municipal regulations. Thesetaxes and contributions are included under “Other operating expenses“.

3.10. Fair Value

It is the policy of the Bank to disclose the fair value information of those assets and liabilities forwhich published market information is readily available, and whose fair value is materially different from their recorded amounts. Sufficient market experience, stability and liquidity do notexist for the purchase and sale of loans and other financial assets or liabilities, for which publishedmarket information is not readily available. Accordingly, fair value cannot readily be determined.In the opinion of management, the reported recoverable amounts are the most valid and usefulreporting values under the existing market conditions.
