4 5Annual Report

Statement of the Board and the CEO

Yesterday

The financial year 2016/17 was undoubtedly a challenging year for the Iranian banking system. Years of negotiations between Iran and the five world economic leaders (P5+1) finally reached a conclusion, and the signature of the JCPOA in winter 2016 heralded new hope for the Iranian economy. Although the gradual removal of sanctions re-established contact with the international banking system, it also brought to light the fact that it would be necessary to develop the technical, operational and infrastructural capacities required in order to comply with complex, strict standards and to be able to interact productively with international banks and institutions. The new conditions prompted us to pursue even more extensively and diligently our plans to achieve our key goal: “To become the first-choice banking partner for overseas banks.”

Domestically, the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) continued its policy of money supply control and inflation control throughout the year, which reduced interest rates more than once during the year. Although the reduced interest rates promised a positive impact on banks’ profitability, it coincided with the issuance of two separate circulars by the CBI, which adversely affected profits and severely reduced major parts of joint revenue sources. The first circular called for all government, government company and municipality accounts to be centralized within the CBI, and the second circular reduced the gap between interest paid on deposits and interest received from loans. It also stipulated that banks were to avoid paying interest on long-term deposits, simultaneously offering short-term loans to the same clients.

We should bear in mind that approximately 80 percent of the Iranian economy is controlled by the state, and the centralization of government accounts within the CBI means a smaller and more competitive money market for commercial banks, especially privately owned institutions. On the other hand, operational costs were borne by the banks under the existing inflation conditions, and the reduced gap between interest paid and interest gained represents a loss to the banks, which were also responsible for legal deposit costs. Banks experienced similar conditions in the non-joint-revenues section. The economic stagnation had reduced profit and blocked banks’

investments in other markets such as capital and housing markets. No improvement was recorded in fees and charges revenue, in spite of increased operational costs and infrastructural developments during the past five years.

In 2015, the CBI issued a circular stipulating that banks were to pay the costs of using POS systems in retail outlets, despite the major investment in e-commerce and e-payment development. This in itself was responsible for a high increase (IRR 1.064 billion) in our expenses.

Despite all of the above-mentioned challenges, the fact that we had planned with diligent foresight meant that Saman Bank was prepared and equipped to face the new conditions, to effectively manage the restrictions and utilize opportunities in the best possible manner. Our excellent management of resources and expenses, and our focus on our international capabilities enabled us to increase our foreign currency operations from $3.9 billion in 2015/16 to $5.8 billion in 2016/17. The role of the JCPOA in opening up the Iranian banking market and making it more competitive should not be ignored. In such a competitive market, we managed to improve our import market share of 13 percent to 15 percent.

As indicated above, we have invested heavily in our three key areas of business, based on our rigorous forecasts of future developments during the JPA and the start of JCPOA, and taking into account the need to expand our international banking capacities. These actions will continue well into 2017/18.

In order to improve productivity and efficiency, we implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, purchased from a reputable developer, which facilitate the control and utilization of information in all sectors of the bank including financial, accounting, human resources, supply chain and customer services. ERP will enable us to develop and implement the infrastructure needed to prepare and manage our financial statements in line with IFRS standards, which we will certainly need in our interactions with domestic supervisory bodies as well as our international dealings.

Today

Our goals for the current year include the launch of our innovative new corporate banking and personal banking systems. Thanks to our past investments, we can now develop our Internet banking systems independently. In 2016/17, we invested heavily in developing our mobile banking systems, launching our Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). The first series of SIM cards under the manufacturer’s brand, SamanTel, will soon enter the market. We intend to offer payment, insurance and value-added services (VAS) on these SIM cards.

Under our current policy, our programs focus on three major goals: cost management, expansion of international banking, and continued optimization of infrastructures. While working hard to increase the bank’s revenues, we strive to maintain our brilliant record with the CBI as a very active bank in the interbank market.

Another major goal that we strongly pursue is that of reducing the bank’s outstanding claims to the lowest possible level. Our previous investments, including the creation of Hafez Saman Iranian Credit Scoring Company, and the concentration of debt-collection activities have brought us closer to this goal.

In 2017/18, we will establish Saman Holding to create synergy in companies in which Saman Bank is a shareholder. We expect this to improve strategic management and increase revenues in those companies, thereby contributing to Saman’s revenues from its investment arm.

We have also managed to obtain authorization to increase our registered capital from IRR 8000 billion to IRR 12000 billion at the end of the financial year 2016/17. We will follow up on this to increase capital through liquidated claims and shareholders’ equity.

With the promise of improved international relations, Saman relies on its international reputation to develop its correspondent banking network through cooperation with major international banks in 2017/2018. We recently opened our representative office in Italy, and will soon open our office in Germany, both of which will further develop our international banking presence. We also signed a finance agreement with Exim Bank of India and are currently working toward establishing finance agreements with a number of European and Asian banks including Danske Bank in Denmark, Oberbank in Austria, and The Export-Import Bank of Korea in South Korea. Furthermore, we have signed agreements and memorandums of understanding with reputable export credit and insurance organizations such as SACE in Italy, and will continue to make the best use of any opportunity that should arise, in order to boost our international banking relations.

Our next step toward joining the global banking network was to optimize e-banking equipment. In this regard, we have procured the latest software solutions and tailored these to suit our requirements.

The collective efforts of our colleagues across all departments have resulted in numerous awards and accolades for the Bank. Saman’s position improved five steps among the 100 superior companies in Iran, and it now stands in 24th place. Saman’s Customer Complaint system obtained ISO certification, and its Capital Intelligence credit rating improved. Saman was voted first-choice bank for retail banking by more than 50 thousand voters in the context of the “My Favorite Bank” annual festival, and was awarded the prestigious title of “My Favorite Bank.”

Tomorrow

Last year, we produced the bank’s Second 5-Year Strategic Plan, which defined three main areas of focus in Horizon 2021/22. These areas include:

• Development of mobile phone-based e-banking

• Development of corporate and international banking

• Creation of value chain and provision of comprehensive service for customers in target markets

Our vision for 2021/22 is to achieve recognition as a pioneering international bank. We aim to provide our full range of retail banking services and transactions via mobile e-banking, as well as to transform our branches into advice and consultation hubs where the bank meets its clients.

Microcredit and SME Loans

During the reported year, various small and medium-sized enterprises and trading units were categorized based on their business size, credit records and assessed risks. Specific lending limits were set for each group of selected enterprises, and each branch was assigned a selected list of trades to attend to their credit needs.

Since the beginning of the year, the credit reference obtained from Hafez Saman Iranian Credit Scoring Company has served as one of the main criteria when assessing new loan applications. In collaboration with Saman Processing Co. we developed a special credit system to organize lending to sole traders. The final version of this system was delivered at the end of the year and was introduced for pilot use.

The bank issued hundreds of small loans as part of their social responsibility scheme. 6,271 marriage loans (interest-free) totaling IRR 651,921 million were paid to eligible newly-wed couples. Low-income families in receipt of benefits from Imam Khomeini Relief Committee received IRR 54,485 million in the form of 424 interest-free loans, and 81 other interest-free loans, amounting to IRR 8,256 million, were awarded to those covered by the State Welfare Organization. Loan applications by small and medium-sized enterprises introduced by the Business Development Committee were admitted and processed as requested by the Central Bank.

Investment and assemblies affairs

2016/17 was a challenging year for the Tehran Stock Exchange.Government policies on inflation control alongside liquidity cash, the Trump shock, and the reduction in the global price of metals are among the factors which influenced the Iranian capital market. The overall effect was that the TSE Index dropped 4.89 percent during the year.

Portfolio management is one of the important activities of Saman’s Investment Department. The bank’s portfolio in 2016/17 comprised of shares, fixed-income funds, mutual funds and Islamic treasury bills. Due to the higher return rate of Islamic treasury bills compared with other investment options, and the reduced bank and interbank interest rates, Saman deemed it wise to invest. As a result, our investment in Islamic treasury bills increased considerably and the annual mean capital increased from IRR 924 billion at the start of the year to IRR 1,631 billion at the end. The reduced cost price of Saman’s portfolio at the end of the year is due to the sale of Islamic treasury bills.

The following diagram shows the structure of Saman’s investment portfolio at the end of 2016/17:

3- Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our conducted audit in accordance with Auditing Standards.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depends on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, internal control relevant to company’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s financial statements, is considered. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and reasonableness of accounting estimates made by directors, as well as evaluating the presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to express opinion on the financial statements.

Our responsibility as the legal inspector, is to report on non-compliance with legal requirements as per the amended commercial code of Iran and Bank’s Articles of Association and legal regulatory requirements of banking activities to the shareholders ordinary General Meeting.

Central Bank directives, and also presentation of cash flow statement in three categories, have not been anticipated as mandatory by accounting standards.

7- Considering the content of note number 26 of financial statements, the Bank’s corporation tax for the years 1384 (2002) to 1393 (2011) have not yet been finalized, It is necessary for the sum of Rls. 1,238 billions tax differences for the mentioned years to be transferred to prior year adjustments and on the other hand the tax prepayment balance of Rls. 924 Billions to be removed from heading “other assets” and tax payable of Rls. 314 Billions to be reflected in the heading of corporation tax provision.

2- Basis of preparing financial statements

The existing financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting standards and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Central Bank of I. R. Iran.

3-1- The bank consolidated financial statements aggregate the assets and liabilities of the bank and of the subsidiaries qualifying for consolidation upon elimination of inter-group transactions and balances as well as the unrealized profit and loss from intergroup transactions. The list of group companies and their activities has been described in Note 14.2.3.

3-2- As to the acquisition of subsidiaries during the given period, the results of their operations are consolidated as of the date they are effectively controlled by the bank. As regards the subsidiaries transferred to the bank, the results of their operations are consolidated until the date of their possession.

3-3- The bank shares acquired by the subsidiaries are recorded at cost price in their accounts. Such shares are deducted from the shareholders’ equity and reflected in the financial statements under the heading of “parent company held by subsidiaries”.

3-4- The fiscal year of subsidiaries ends on December 21 of each year and their operations are consolidated in the same manner. Nonetheless, in the case any event occurs up to the reporting date of the bank’s financial statements which might substantially affect the consolidated financial statements in their entirety, the effect thereto would be reflected in accounts by making the required adjustments in the items of the financial statements of subsidiaries.

3-5- Atieh Alborz Company was not consolidated in the financial statements of the fiscal year ending March 20, 2017, due to its lack of operations or a future plan to be either transferred or dissolved. The adjustments so required have been made in the financial statements.

3-7- Upon expansion of Atieh Andishan Sepehr Shargh Company business activities during the fiscal year ending March 20, 2017, this company’s operations were also reflected in the bank’s consolidated financial statements.

4- Operating and reporting currency unit

The items in the financial statements have been measured by using Rial as the currency unit in the main economic environment where Saman Bank has been operating. Such items have been presented in Iranian million rials (shortened to Rls. M.) for better understanding and comprehensibility unless otherwise expressly stated in financial statements and/or in the relevant explanatory notes.

9-4-2-The rial-denominated current account with the Central Bank under No. 26200/5 is used for settlement of rial-denominated interbank transactions including the adjustment of statutory deposit balance, settlement of documents exchanged through the clearing house, operations performed by SATENA, PAYA and SHETAB and… payment systems. The balance of this account as per the bank books on March 20, 2016 was in amount of Rls. 4,172 billion. As reflected in the CBI’s statement, the balance of this account was debited in the amount of Rls. 1,339 billion. The discrepancy was due to:

9-4-2-1-Following the problems which arose in the wake of the foreign currency exchange rates in 2011 in the country, Saman Bank was selected to act as a distributing partner for foreign currency allocation. For this purpose, Saman Bank organized an action plan and managed this function within the framework of the commitments and arrangements so undertaken.

9-4-2-2-On March 5, 2012, the Central Bank of Iran withdrew the amount of Rls. 4,866 billion from the said current accounts under code 1006 (without considering the inadequacy of the account balance) allegedly being the differential between the free market exchange rate and the official exchange rate of the foreign currencies delivered to banks subject of a five-member team’s approval. Despite the protest raised by Saman Bank against such withdrawal, the matter has not yet been settled.

9-4-2-3-The Association for Private Banks also made a written protest against the CBI’s action (the withdrawal) on March 7, 2012.

9-4-2-4-Considering the measures taken and by virtue of the notification dated March 17, 2012, the Central Bank of Iran repaid in two stages 90% of its withdrawals totaling the amount of Rls. 4,379 billion. However, once more the amount of Rls. 2,346 billion was withdrawn from Saman Bank’s account by the Central Bank on March 18, 2012 (apparently on the strength of a decree approved by the Council of Ministers).

Saderat Bank

In line with the policy of expanding banking services aimed at providing finance for its customers in the areas of rials and foreign currencies, mitigating the credit portfolio risks and maintaining the capital adequacy1 ratio, Saman Bank included in its loan portfolio services the discount of the term letters of credit which other banks opened and guaranteed their payments on due dates as of March 2011 (ending the Iranian calendar year). In the area of foreign currencies, discounts were made without recourse to the beneficiary by paying the amounts so discounted into the beneficiary’s account (the discount applicant) in compliance with the appropriate rules and standards and within the context of the regulations governing the forex letters of credit and uniform rules concerning the letters of credit. In the area of rials, Saman Bank discounted the locally-issued term letters of credit (in rials) opened by the Iranian banks within the framework of the rules governing the local letters of credit (in rials) and applicable standards adopted by the Central Bank of Iran (uniform rules concerning the letters of credit) without recourse as of 2010 and early periods of 2011 and paid the amounts so discounted into the beneficiary’s account (the discount applicant) in compliance with the appropriate rules and regulations. The discounts so described were performed along with the exercise of all necessary controls following the exchange of instruments in the letters of credit and after receipt of required confirmations (encoded Faxes from correspondent banks) regarding the authenticity of opened letters of credit as well as irrevocable commitments by the opening banks for payment of the proceeds derived from such discounts to Saman Bank on due dates and in return for transfer of the beneficiary’s rights ( discount applicant).

A number of companies made applications for discount of the letters of credit opened and guaranteed by other banks which were processed in compliance with the foregoing standards and upon receipt of authorization from the bank’s credit committees. For the discount of forex-denominated letters of credit, all credit items were paid and settled on maturity dates by the banks which had opened and guaranteed such instruments. For the discounts of rial-denominated term letters of credit all items with the exception of a number of items connected with Amir Mansour Arya Group, were paid and settled by the opening banks in a normal way of business practices. For the discounting facilities provided for the companies affiliated to Amir Mansour Arya Group or for the companies which were trading partners of this Group, except for two banks, Bank Saderat and Bank of Industry and Mine, all other banks including Pasargad Bank, Sepah Bank, Bank Melli and Bank Maskan fulfilled their obligations and paid Saman Bank the committed amounts under 18 letters of credit totaling Rls. 2,136 billion on the due dates. Only the two banks of of Saderat and Industry and Mine failed to honor their obligations pledged against Saman Bank. The total discounts made and the amounts guaranteed to be paid in the letters of guarantee by these two opening banks on the maturity dates were as follows:

1. In calculating the capital adequacy ratio, the assets capital guaranteed or underwritten by local banks are weighted with a lower risk factor relative to other assets with immovable-backed houses/residentials.

In order to protect the interests and rights of Saman Bank and seek compensation from the guaranteed amounts and force the two banks of Saderat and Industry and Mine to fulfill their obligations, Saman Bank has taken legal actions versus these two banks by claiming the collection of proceeds derived from 8 matured letters of credit whereby 6 letters of credit are related to Bank Saderat and 2 letters of credit are related to Bank of Industry and Mine. For all of the 8 letters of credit, Saman Bank submitted a statement of claim to the trial court and requested confiscation of the assets and property owned by the opening banks. Thus the court’s order resulted in the seizure of the assets which belong to Saderat Bank and Bank of Industry and Mine being equivalent to the amounts claimed by Saman Bank. Until the date of presenting financial statements, the court made its ruling on the two cases, brought against the Bank of Industry and Mine in favor of Saman Bank which upon finality of decree and issuance of a writ for execution of the court’s decision resulted in the collection of Rls. 666 billion comprising the original amount for Rls 499 billion, late payment penalty, litigation costs and lawyer’s fee for the amount of Rls. 167 billion. In pursuance of legal actions, Bank Saman brought and followed up claims against Bank Saderat for six letters of credit under three separate cases with the Bench No. 19 of Tehran Civil Courts with a description of:

- Case No. 9009980227900567 remedy sought for the letter of credit No. 89/3446/0072 in the amount of 242,400 million rials;

- Case No. 9009980227900569 remedy sought for the letter of credit No. 89/34469/0063 for the amount of 257,600 million rials; and

- Case No. 9109980227900613 remedy sought for four letters of credit under Nos. 90/3446/0029, 90/3446/0030, 90/3446/0023 and 90/3446/0024 in the amount of 807,183 million rials in total.

The court passed judgments in favor of Saman Bank and ordered Bank Saderat to pay the original amounts claimed and compensate for late payment penalties, litigation costs and lawyer’s fees based on legal rates.

After the court’s initial verdicts received finality in the Bench No. 12 of Tehran Provincial Court of Appeal (Revision), and upon the request made by Saman Bank, three writs of execution were issued for enforcement of the final judgements ( actions of debt collection) with description of:

- Writ No. 9210420227900212 for the case No. 900998227900567;

- Writ No. 9210420227900211 for the case No. 900980227900569;

- Writ No. 9210420227900208 for the case No. 910980227900613.

After the above writs had been served, upon the request made by Bank Saderat, the head of Judiciary ordered the stay of execution for the writ No. 9210420227900212 and thus no money was collected. The Office of Judgments’ Enforcement of the relevant court bench made a calculation of the amounts due to be collected under the other two writs as follows:

In all cases, at the request of Saman Bank’s lawyers an attachment order was issued against Bank Saderat for the amounts inserted in the letters of credit for 11 of such items under Nos. 90/3446/0015, 90/3446/0021, 90/3446/0017, 90/3446/0037, 90/3446/0038, 90/3446/0018, 90/3446/0031, 90/3446/0028, 90/3446/0027, 90/3446/0019, 90/3446/0022 Judgements were issued against Bank Saderat enforcing this Bank to pay the principal amounts and costs sustained in each case.

Pasargad Bank

As regards the letters of credit of Pasargad Bank, this bank has filed a lawsuit versus the claims which is now pending at Bench No. 7 of the Public Court of Law.

Upon the sale of the pledged shares owned by Bank Saderat an amount totaling 1,574,697 million rials was collected and delivered to Bank Saman under four checks. As the head of Judiciary issued an order for the stay of execution, the remainder of the relief sought in the amount of Rls. 142 bilion has not been collected. Upon the appeal made by the judgment debtor or losing party (namely Bank Saderat), the given cases are being examined and reviewed by the Judiciary Deputy for Judicial and Supervisory Affairs under the provision of amended article 18 of the Law for Formation of Public and Revolutionary Courts. Obviously, as soon as the effects resulting from the order for the stay of execution have been removed, the enforcement actions will be restarted to collect and recover the remainder of the judgment debts.

Furthermore, the statement of claim for 13 letters of credit related to Bank Saderat under Nos. 90/3446/0010, 90/3446/0015, 90/3446/0016, 90/3446/0019, 90/3446/0021, 90/3446/0022, 90/3446/0017, 90/3446/0018, 90/3446/0027, 90/3446/0028, 90/3446/0031, 90/3446/0037 and 90/3446/0038 were submitted to the judicial authorities/law-courts which were referred to the benches No. 4, 19 and 14 for investigation and hearing. The first court hearings were subjected to retrial due to the counter claim (July 7, 2012) made by Bank Saderat. Lastly, upon resumption of the court hearings and submissions of various evidentiary documents and memorials, the case pertaining to the letter of credit no. 90/3446/0010 was adjudicated by the court bench No. 4 with a judgment against Bank Saderat ordering this bank to pay the principal amount of 249, 681 million rials and amount of 7, 491 million rials - for litigation cost, lawyer’s fee as per the tariffs and late payment penalty, from the date the claim was brought versus Saderat Bank until the collection date of these sums on the basis of inflation index rate as announced by the Central Bank of Iran in the amount of Rls. 262,450/- million. Reciprocally, Bank Saderat made an appeal against this judgment with the court of appeal (Court of Revision). The Bench No. 18 of Tehran Appeal Court upheld the initial court’s judgment in favor of Saman Bank. Upon the request made by Saman Bank lawyers, an enforcement writ was issued against Saderat Bank and an amount of Rls. 519,624/- million in total was collected and credited in favor of Saman Bank.

Bank’s share of sources from profit-sharing incomes is calculated as follows:

• Should the shared uses be less than the total free resources of investment deposits, the bank’s resources and accordingly its share from the profit-sharing incomes will drop to nil (zero-sum).

• The bank share of resources out of the shared uses means the shared uses deducted from the free resources of investment deposits. Should the total free resources of investment deposits exceed the shared uses, the surplus thereof will be named the surplus free resources of investment deposits.

55-1- There were no material capital obligations as at the balance sheet date.

From the balance sheet date until the approval date of financial statement, there has been no material event which might have affected financial statements and required disclosures.

Saman Bank has no record of bad/written-off debts as at March 2017 ,20.

Saman Bank has devised and established a specialized and appropriate structure which is consistent with the accepted framework of risk management risk. This structure will enable the bank to manage the significant risks in banking industry within the context of a business model devised for banking activities and operations. The information provided in this section is rooted in the bank’s operations and reflects the effect of risks on the balance sheet and the statement of the profit and loss. The key risks which are chiefly addressed by the Saman Bank management in compliance with the risk management guidelines recommended by the Basel Committee (Basel II) are listed below:

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

• Market risk

• Operational risk

The foregoing risks emerge from the bank’s business model and the risk management mechanism. In the current model, attempt has been made to identify the events which may affect the level of the bank’s achieving its paramount goals within the framework of risk management. More notably in parallel with the risks evaluation, the bank’s risk management will take the anticipated loss index as well as the quantitative and qualitative models into account and will continuously develop and enhance its evaluation models and patterns.

56-1- Basic earnings per shae

The basic EPS is earned by dividing the dividends belonging to ordinary shareholders by the average weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding with the shareholders. The average weighted number of ordinary shares (basic) in the parent company consists of 8,000,000,000 shares.

56-2- Diluted earnings per share

The diluted earnings per share is earned by dividing the dividends belonging to ordinary shareholders by the average weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding with the shareholders upon adjustment of dilution impact of all potential ordinary shares. The average weighted number of ordinary shares (diluted) in the parent company consists of 8,000,000,000 shares.

59-2- Framework and chart of risk management

Saman Bank has a strong determination to counter the business risks and environmental uncertainties. The key business segments impacted by financial risks include the retail banking division which is substantially affected by credit and liquidity risks and the corporate banking division which is influenced by various credit, liquidity and market risks. The operational risks may accordingly affect some areas of current activities of the units which will be surveyed and evaluated, by applying the common practices.

The risk management is responsible for developing and controlling the bank’s risk management policies. Thus in line with the policy of effective risk management, Saman Bank has devised and created a Risk Management System comprising the High or Senior Risk Committee and the Risk Department which have been shown in the diagram below. The Risk Department report to the Bank Deputy for Supervision and shall have to implement the decisions taken by the High Risk Committee.

59-3 Credit risk

59-3-1- Definition of the credit risk

Credit risk is the likelihood of suffering loss arising from the counterparty’s failure to meet his contractual obligations with respect to the principal amounts and interests. That is the reason why the main component in banking operations will meaningfully be premised on the correct performance, design and implementation of written procedures and policies for identifying, assessing, monitoring and controlling the credit risk. The credit policies will provide a framework for financings and granting credit facilities by the bank. Obviously, the bank credit policies shall include the matters such as target markets, portfolio composition, pricing requirements, terms of reference, loan approving or sanctioning authorities, reporting procedures, the process relating to list of exclusions and … Such measures shall be clearly defined in line with the banks’ contingent procedures and shall be appropriate to the scale and complexities of banking operations.

More significantly, the credit policies shall be devised and implemented with a view to the internal and external factors such as the bank market position, business locations/areas, staff capabilities and technological advances.

Arguably, these policies shall particularly define the banks’ objectives in the areas of portfolio composition, exposure limits of the counterparty or a group of related parties, special industries or economic sectors, geographical locations and special products. In general, banks shall ensure that their internal exposure limits are consistent with any type of contingent limitations or scopes which have been determined by the banking inspectors (regulators).

59-3-5- Methods of reducing credit risk

One way of mitigating the credit risk is the collateral coverage with a view to the risk exposure and debt liquidity ratio. Considering the risk exposure, collaterals may be divided into three grades:

First grade collaterals and guarantees:

• First grade collateral of type I: includes the cash collateral in the short-term investment deposit in rial at the interim zero interest rate and without banking card (short-term investment deposit in rial coded 836 for natural persons and 837 for legal persons).

• First grade collateral of type II: includes the cash collateral in the ordinary short-term investment deposits in rial.

• First grade collateral of type III: includes short-term investment deposits and special short-term deposits in foreign currency, long-term investment deposits in rial (excluding Atieh Savings deposits), short-term investment deposits in rial and foreign currency at an interest rate higher than the ordinary rate, special short term investment deposits in rial and foreign currency, long-term registered and bearer certificates of investment deposits issued by Saman Bank, investment certificates of fixed income funds for which Saman Bank is acting as the registrar or guarantor of the fund’s units.

• First grade collateral of type IV: includes participation bonds issued by the CBI as well as the participation bonds issued by the state (governmental bonds).

Second grade collaterals and guarantees

include immovable properties and shares of companies listed on the stock exchange (excluding the shares of companies which are traded on the agreed basic market). The immovable properties which are introduced for loan security shall be real-estates or residential apartments or office buildings with six shares or parts of absolute ownership, valuable, easily marketable, uncontested and located in the municipal areas or bounds with a valid certificate of construction work completion. The mortgage of apartments used for business and residential purposes with a maximum age of 25 years as well as the real estates (villas) used for business and residential purposes without the age limit shall meet no impediment. Additionally, the valuation of collaterals should be conducted in compliance with the provision set forth in the last review under the directive No. 92-310-1599 covering the valuation of immovable properties.

Third grade collaterals and guarantees

the third guarantees means the guaranteed promissory notes received from customers. It should be noted that the branches when accepting the promissory notes from customers shall fully and absolutely abide by the provision of last review under the directive No. 92-310-2232 covering the requirements for completion, signature and receipt of guaranteed promissory notes.

59-3-6 Customer’s credit scoring process

The credit scoring or rating process shall include certain proper criteria used to evaluate, measure and obtain accurate information on the bank target market, borrower’s credit quality, counterparty’s credit goals, its structure and funding sources for repayment. The sequence and priority in this process are described below:

• Credit nature and goal: The applicant’s business objective shall be acceptable to the bank which means that it should be legal, non-speculative and consistent with the borrower’s track records. Additionally the bank shall ensure that the credit facilities are used to finance the applicant’s normal business operations. The loan size shall also be adequate for the customer’s goal and shall sound reasonable relative to his available funds. More arguably, with the growth rate of laundering activities in the modern business world, it is highly essential to fully understand and determine the clarity of the purpose of the requested credit facilities.

• Types of credit facilities: Such facilities may include: current account overdraft, hire purchase loan consumer lending loan, working capital loan, long-term loan, leasing loan, credit cards, real estate loan,

Page 78: annual report 2016178 Annual Report 9 Date of capital increase Increase New capital Source of increase percentage IRR billion 29.08.2002 0 200 Liquidated claims and shareholders’

152 153Financial Report

business loan, mortgage backed loan, building construction loan, retail loan, factoring, ….

• Eligibility for borrowing: The lender shall consider the customer’s legal capacity. Arguably, the minor, the poor and the mentally retarded persons do not have the capacity to enter into transactional agreements or contracts. Under such circumstances, they need the appointment of a guardian for their affairs.

• Guarantees: Whenever a collateral security is needed, certain factors such as adequacy, capability, credibility and authenticity of the collateral should be taken into account.

• Review of the borrower’s financial position: When a customer’s financial status is analyzed, it will be highly important to review how his business operations have the capacity to generate sufficient cash flows for fulfillment of his obligations. From among the various factors which may be used to measure a customer’s financial standing, these items are worth mentioning: repayment capacity, liquidity, repayment willingness.

• Repayment capacity forecast: The lender should obtain a reasonable assurance of the borrower’s ability to service his obligations on the due date in future.

• Profitability: The expense of financing for the customer, the remuneration paid to employees with respect to credit assessment, credit grant and credit monitoring, rental costs and other general expenses shall be covered (normally received as prepayment) by the return created on the loans granted. In reality, a comfortable profitability shall be measured by the capital expenses.

• Continous monitoring: credit facilities should be constantly monitored through various methods and channels: risk exposure limit, capital allocation and periodic reports by the type of customer, borrowing position, segment and... .

Essential requirements for opening a credit file

Since the process of granting loans in Saman Bank starts with submission of the customer’s application by filing credit records, it is essential to meet the following requirements in this initial process:

• Customer’s CDD;

• Access to customers’ credit records shall be subject to the confidentiality rules and policies which prevail in the bank;

• The bank credit facilities shall be granted to various industrial sectors with a view to the non-concentration principle;

59-3-8- Credit risk concentration

The credit risk concentration in Saman Bank has been defined in a manner to reflect the type, nature and content of credit risk. More significantly, the credit risk concentration will include the two components of target market and maximum market share of credit portfolio. To this end, Saman Bank annually drafts an operational program in which the target market covering the on-and off balance sheet items will be determined each year. Thus the bank will define its credit risk concentration in the following areas:

• Corporate banking

• Retail and SME banking

Further it should be noted that the responsibility for defining and reviewing various economic sectors including goals and total amounts of credit portfolio shall remain with the High Committee for Strategy and Budget.

59-3-9- Procedures for managing non-current loans

The bank’s policy on the management of non-current claims is premised on preventive measures supported by collaterals and proper management with follow-up actions and debt collection procedure. Considering the requirement set forth in the Law on the Elimination of Barriers to Competitive Production and Enhancement to National Financial System passed on April 21, 2015 by the Islamic Parliament and in compliance with the CBI’s directive No. 94/69383 governing the procedures for calculation and distribution of shared profit, banks shall have to reform their assets structure and increase the share of income-generating assets through the sale and disposal of the foreclosed properties and assets and collection of debts. In order to improve its assets structure and achieve the targets set for collection of non-current debts, Saman Bank takes appropriate measures within the context of its own internally approved by-laws and procedures. To this end, where the follow-up actions towards collection of the bank’s claims in the pending files (including movable and immovable properties and/or rights and privileges which will be held or put under the bank’s ownership) fail to collect debts at branch levels and credit departments, measures will primarily be taken by retail banking and corporate banking departments and, at a later stage, legal actions will be taken by the bank’s legal deputy. In performance of operational and strategic actions and subject to the applicable laws and regulations, Saman Bank shall have to sell surplus and foreclosed assets and properties to collect its outstanding and doubtful debts. As has been contemplated in the organizational structure, the credit departments shall be tasked with reducing the amounts of overdue debts and the bank’s legal deputy shall be responsible for collection of outstanding and doubtful debts.Collection of overdue loans will be performed under the time-frame and scheduled worked out by the VP Credit Deputy and collection of overdue loan balance shall be the responsibility of the Retail and Corporate Banking Department which all shall be pursued in the form of an annual target program based on the approved follow-up standards. In pursuance of the objective set by the Board of Directors, the Retail and SMEs Credit Department shall collect the amount of Rls 2,100,000 million and the Corporate Credit Department shall collect the amount of Rls. 1,101,000 million out of the overdue loan balance in the an annually scheduled program. As a consequence, an aggregate amount in the range of Rls. 3,201,000 million should be collected out of the overdue loan balance through the said two credit departments.Further, the responsibility for collecting outstanding and doubtful debts and sale of foreclosed or seized collaterals and properties shall remain with the Bank Legal Deputy’s Office. A plan is already well under way to collect the amount of Rls. 1,500,000 million of outstanding debts and the amount of Rls. 10,000,000 million of doubtful debts as well as selling the foreclosed collaterals for the amount Rls. 8,000,000 million. In aggregate, an amount of Rls. 19,500,000 million of (non-current) past-due loans has been planned to be recovered by the bank Legal Deputy’s office.The procedures for collecting claims and debts by all credit departments and offices of deputies are governed by the applicable laws and regulations in the country adopted by the CBI as well as the bank’s internal by-laws and directives. As prescribed in the prevalent laws, requirements and the bank’s internal by-laws, the overall procedures for collecting debts from sale of foreclosed properties and collaterals will sequentially entail and include calculation of mortgage debt, submission of documents, request for issuance of enforcement writ, service of enforcement writ, inquiry about property registration status, official expert’s appraisal report, notification of official expert’s opinion, issuance of authorization prior to the notice of sale auction or bid, operating procedures for sale of foreclosed properties and liquidation of claims due to the bank. Where the mortgaged real estate is not sold at the sale auction, the bank shall have to take possession of six shares (the entire portion) or partnership in the foreclosed mortgage put up for sale pursuant to the bank’s applicable rules and on the strength of the permits or licenses issued for this purpose.

59-4-1- Definition of liquidity risk

The liquidity risk means the possibility of impairing or endangering the bank’s ability to provide funds for fulfillment of its obligations.

59-4-2- Liquidity risk policies and processes

The Saman Bank policy is typically to keep for each type of currency a cash buffer of at least 2% of the total deposits of the same currency which is being reviewed not to slide lower than this percentage.

59-4-4- Credit risk measurement method

In order to measure the liquidity risk, Saman Bank uses the existing financial ratios in Basel III which include NSFR (Necessary Stable Funding Ratio) and LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio).

59-4-6- Crisis contingency plan (liquidity stress test)

In order to test the liquidity crisis in Saman Bank, it is essential to identify the factors creating liquidity crisis and make scenarios based on the assumptions which result from the existing facts. To this end, the operational plan for the stress test project is executed with the aim of studying and identifying the factors creating liquidity crisis in the bank by using the previous studies, determining the major risk factors, shock and its impact on the assets and liabilities, designing the scenario in alignment with assets and liabilities, modeling the liquidity crisis test based on the internal influential factors, predicting the possibility for emergence of liquidity crisis and maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity in response to cash outflows and avoiding the source funding with substantial expenses. During the recent financial crisis, the liquidity risk has been the main focus of attention in that, it has revealed how a crisis can accelerate the process of liquidity shortage in the market among the banks and even hinder other large institutions from their operations. Previous to such financial crisis, there was no liquidity crisis test performed by any banks for the historical evidence did not indicate any sign of liquidity risk crisis on the grounds of liquidity events. As a general rule, in the banking industry, the inflow of sources should be consistent with the outflow of sources the failure of which may lead to three possible scenarios to bring about liquidity shortage for the bank as follows:

• Scenario 1: In this scenario it is assumed that the inflow and outflow of sources by depositors will take place in normal conditions. However, the collection of debts by or recovery of sources from the borrowers will happen less quickly. As such, the borrowers will have the sources at their disposal for a longer period of time.

• Scenario 2: In this scenario it is assumed that outflow of sources by depositors will happen more quickly. As such, the inflow of new sources and return of sources by lenders will not cover the outflow of sources.

• Scenario 3: In this scenario, it is assumed that outflow of sources by depositors will increase and simultaneously return of sources by borrowers will slide out of normal conditions.

One of the most applicable ratios for testing the liquidity crisis is the LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio). To define a hypothetical scenario regarding LCR, it will be imperative to exercise hypothetical shocks to the inflow and outflow of assets and measure their impact on this ratio and crisis borderline.

Under normal circumstances and considering the background, the liquidity ratios including LCR have never reached the crisis borderline. Therefore, our scenario will be built on a hypothetical situation and not on historical data. There are various assumptions which may influence the occurrence of crisis including the external factors, such as changes in inflation rate, foreign currency translation, housing price indexes, blocking Shetab payment system by the CBI and... .

The impact of each externally exogenous variable on the balance sheet ratios and increase in the claims ratio as well as decrease in the amounts of facilities and deposits will change the LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) and may ultimately approach the crisis borderline.

59-5- Market risk

59-5-1- Definition of market risk

The market risk or the market value at risk (VaR) may be defined as the risk probability of uncertainty in trading portfolio revenues of a financial institution as a result of changes in market situation such as asset prices, interest rates, market volatility and market liquidity. The market risk will probably arise when a financial institution is actively engaged in trading assets, liabilities and derivative instruments and not when such items are held for long-term investments, financing and hedging purposes.

59-5-2- Executive units charged with market risk management

Saman Bank firmly believes in active management of market risk and, with this view in mind, it has devised a coherent structure to actively manage such risks. In this structure, the board of directors, High Risk Committee, Resource Allocation Committee (ALCO), Investment Commission, Investment Affairs Manager, International Division and Risk Department will play leading roles. The units and departments which are tasked with decision-making in the area of risk management are listed below:

Shares:

• Senior executive commission at the highest level – for a transaction amount in excess of 50 billion rials in a day or 10% of the investee company (whichever is lower);

• Investment Commission – for a transaction amount up to the limit Rls. 50 billion in a day or 10% of the

investee company (whichever is lower);

• Deputy for Investment and Affiliates – for a transaction amount from 3 billion rials up to 30 billion rials in a day and less than 5% of the investee company;

• Investment Affairs Manager – for a transaction amount from 0.2 to 3 billion rials in a day;

• Investment expert – for a transaction amount up to the limit of 200 million rials in a ady.

Foreign currencies:

• The International Division and, more professionally, the foreign exchange office are responsible for decision-making on the authorized limits of transactions;

• In certain cases at the weekly commissions held at the International Division, the board chairperson and CEO will participate in decision-making process as deemed proper by the bank’s special and mega policies.

59-5-3-Methods of measuring the market risk

The bank trading portfolio is made up of two segments:

• Shares/stocks

• Foreign exchange open positions

To evaluate the market risk of shares, the value at-risk of total shares portfolio with a confidence level of 99% will be calculated.

Pursuant to Basel II requirements and the CBI’s evidence regarding the credit risk, the historical simulation method shall be employed to calculate the necessary capital to cover the risk of shares portfolio. Notably, as regards the foreign exchange market risk, the forex open position for the total portfolio as well as the degree of positive/negative open position of each of the currencies and the amount of required capital for the forex risk coverage and value-at-risk of foreign currency portfolio, the historical simulation method will also be used. The open position of a foreign currency will include the absolute value of the following items:

A. the rial equivalent of the difference between forex assets and liabilities in any currency entered in the on-line accounts of balance sheet;

B. the rial equivalent of the difference between the bank’s and customers’ obligations in any currency entered in the off-line accounts of balance sheet.

Pursuant to the CBI’s directive, the authorized limit of open position for any of the currencies (positive or negative) is maximum up to 10% of the bank base capital and the authorized limit of open position for all aggregate currencies (positive or negative) is maximum up to 30% of the bank base capital.

59-5-4- Analyzing the value-at-risk investment in shares and other market-priced investments:

Considering the historical simulation method and percentage of possible changes thereupon in the market value, the level of value-at-risk for investment in shares and other market-priced investments have been illustrated in the table below:

1. Possible change in market price has been calculated for a 10-day period.

2. Effect on profit and loss at market price has been calculated for a 10-day period.

following departments or divisions are involved in this process:

• Risk Department: This department acts as an executive unit for operational risk, with the aim of identifying the resources exposed to operational risk and implementing the process of operational risk management at the level of organizational process. More importantly, the process of operational risk management is practiced in a unified approach which includes risk identification, risk assessment, risk indicators monitoring and further through risk mitigation plans in line with the risk appetite. As it stands, by receiving the periodic and updated reports from other executive departments which are acting in this connection the operational risk in the bank’s key processes is monitored, measured and evaluated.

• Quality Improvement Department: This department’s main functions are to design and document the operational procedures, define and develop the kind of relationship with other organizational divisions with respect to the operational processes, determine the monitoring indicators for evaluation and control as well as establishing an effective link between regulations and directives with the existing processes. This structure has been devised and developed for standardization of processes and minimization of operational events or occurrences.

• Inspection Department: This department will perform periodic inspections of operational processes at branch levels in accordance with the prevailing directives, procedures and by-laws and then will file reports on the findings of such inspections. The contents of these reports will be used as the base data for analyzing the operational events at branch levels. As such, the operational risk of branches will be assessed by the type of events contemplated by the Basel Committee with respect to the number (frequency) of events and the severity of possible losses as reported by the Risk Department.

59-6-3- Preventive measures from occurrence of human intentional and unintentional errors

In view of the fact that one of the effective factors which may result in operating losses is typically shaped up by individuals in an organization, Saman Bank has taken a series of actions as listed below to prevent the occurrence of human intentional and unintentional events by its personnel:

• attempt to create culture and a transparent environment in which all employees, divisions and departments will be aware of performing their duties and responsibilities thoroughly with regard to the adverse events of operational risk;

• dissemination of a proper culture with regard to operational risk so as to institutionalize the enforcement of decent ethical standards;

• planning to organize training courses to ensure that the staff members have sufficient knowledge and expertise in their career path.

59-6-4- Actions to confront a crisis

To obtain assurance for maintaining the situation in times of crisis and/or returning to normal situation under a well-defined plan in the shortest possible time aimed at minimizing the implications of crisis occurrence, Saman Bank has designed a non-operating defense by-law.

59-6-5- Method of assessing operational risk

Saman Bank employs the base index approach for inclusion of operational risk in its calculations related to capital adequacy ratio as required by the Basel II guidelines. Additionally, Saman Bank is currently striving to create and develop the structures required for assessing the operational risk by using an advanced calculation method. To this end, the bank needs to identify and assess the operational risk in all working processes. The identification and assessment tools are listed below:

• Using the risk self-assessment method qualitatively through interaction with directors and operational divisions of the bank;

• Using the findings and collected data in connection with adverse operational risk events in the bank’s daily operations which are derived from regular inspection and auditing;

• Using the risk key indicators in the important processes so as to conduct a survey of the operational risk trends.

59-6-6- Mechanisms for controlling and monitoring operational risk

Mechanism for controlling operational risk

Upon assessment of operational risk, the bank will determine which categories of risks it may accept or control. The control of operational risk shall take place through full cooperation with respective executive

departments. The key measures taken in this area include identification of the processes bottleneck which is deemed to be a factor for creating operational risk (individuals, systems, processes and external events) and development, review of amended and preventive by-laws related to the occurrence of operational adverse incidents.

Mechanism for monitoring operational risk

The bank’s operational risk position will be monitored so as to review the efficiency and effectiveness of controls as well as the effect of any new incident on the organization profile during the course of specified periods. During each period, the amount of resources exposed to operational risk, frequency and severity of the effect of risk factors, key risk indicators and further the degree of efficiency and effectiveness of current controls will be reviewed and monitored.

59-6-7- The capital sum required for operational risk coverage

The capital sum required for operational risk coverage at Saman Bank will be measured and gauged by using the base index method. The amount of capital exposed to operational risk is listed below:
