In keeping with the provisions of section 359 subsections (3) & (4) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, the report of the Auditors is submitted to the Audit Committee which examines the report and makes recommendations to the shareholders at each Annual General Meeting.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND COMPLIANCE

The entire staff and Management of the Bank are responsible for protecting the Bank against fraudulent transactions. However, the Compliance & Audit Division is vested with internal control functions. This division is divided into three units, namely: Compliance, Corporate Audit, and Security.

The Compliance unit is responsible for promoting compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and the anti- money laundering program of the Bank among other things. The primary function of the Corporate Audit Unit is to review all operational transactions entered into by the Bank to ensure accuracy and avoid the processing of erroneous or fraudulent entries. The Security unit of the Bank is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the Bank's Security and Loss Prevention policies.

In keeping with the Bank's strategy of strengthening its Corporate Governance structure and risk management capabilities through the implementation of its Enterprise-wide Risk Management framework, some strategies were adopted to effectively manage the risk of non-compliance with laid down rules, regulations and laws. These include the following.

! Continuous identification and assessment of compliance risks presented by customers, products and services in the Bank, through a properly implemented compliance risk management assessment exercise and monitoring information system that provides management with timely, informative reports on compliance with laws and regulations at both the business unit and transaction levels.

! Continuous training of the entire staff of the Bank on Anti-Money Laundering, Compliance and Corporate Governance issues in line with the Bank's policy on professional development geared towards improving competence across board. Training has been a veritable tool that inculcates and synchronises the requisite compliance knowledge in staff on rules, laws and regulations across all levels and the knowledge is expressed as a guide in doing the Bank's business, thereby eradicating the problem of non-compliance. This clearly manifests the compliance culture of the bank which states that Compliance is everybody's business.

! Disclosing and disseminating information required for regulatory compliance through monthly Newsletters that are broadcast on SharePoint (The Bank's intranet portal).

! Harmonising the compliance culture in all the subsidiaries of the Bank with a view to identifying deficiencies in standards and

formulating proposals for amendment where necessary to safeguard against losses arising from financial, operational, reputational, legal and regulatory risks in processing of transactions and relationship management.

! Consistent implementation of the provisions of the Code of Corporate Governance for Banks which have been embedded in the Bank's decision making processes.

The Bank has upgraded the Internal Control structures of the Bank in conformity with international best practices. The focus of the Bank in the new dispensation is on preventive control rather than detective control, emphasis is placed on processors owning the controls associated with their processes, with this we aim to build quality and effective control from inception to conclusion of transactions and thus reduce associated losses and costs. The Internal Control unit has unhindered access to all operations, records, property and personnel of the Bank. Our strength is in our people, trained and motivated to meet the emerging challenges in the global economy and Information Technology to ensure the integrity of our reports and safety of information generated.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The effective management of risk is indispensable to the business of the Diamond Bank Group (the Group). We consider risk as the quantifiable probability that the outcome of an action or event (internal or external) may result in adverse impacts that could severely hamper the achievement of our strategic objectives. The Group remains committed to the objective of increasing shareholder value by developing, continuously improving and fostering a sustainable business model that is consistent with its risk appetite and that will ensure long-term sustainable profitability.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Vision Diamond Bank's ERM Vision is:“To build a world-class risk management culture”

Risk Management Philosophy & CultureDiamond Bank undertakes all profitable transactions that it considers prudent and which meets its risk appetite and risk profile. The Bank continuously evaluates the risk and rewards inherent in its business endeavours, from strategy development and implementation, to its day-to-day activities.

Thus, its risk culture is guided by the following key elements:

! Diamond Bank Group considers sound risk management as the bedrock for building a strong financial institution; ! Risk officers are empowered to perform their duties professionally and independently within clearly defined authority; ! Business units formally involve and view the Risk Management function as a thought partner;! The Group strives to maintain a balance between risk/opportunities & revenue considerations with the Group's risk appetite. Thus,

risk-related issues are considered in all business decisions;! The Board and Management promote a strong culture of adherence to limits and managing risk exposures;! The Group avoids products, markets and businesses for which it cannot objectively measure and manage their associated risks;! There is open and full reporting of risks to the appropriate levels once they are identified; and! The Group has zero tolerance for breach of regulations and laws.

Risk Management ObjectivesThe following are the key elements of Diamond Bank's risk management objectives:

i) To identify the Group's material risks and ensure that risk management plans are consistent with risk appetite;ii) To optimise risk/return decisions by ensuring business units act as primary risk managers while establishing strong and

independent review/challenge structures;iii) To protect against unforeseen losses and ensure stability of earnings;iv) To maximise opportunities, earnings potential and ultimately stakeholder value; and v) To contribute to building a risk-smart workforce and environment that allows for innovation and responsible risk-taking by staff,

while ensuring cost effective and legitimate precautions are taken to protect shareholders' interests.

Risk Management StrategyOur strategy for managing risks is to sustain a robust Enterprise-wide Risk Management framework (which is process driven and IT enabled), with emphasis on protecting the Group from the adverse effects of risks while maintaining sustainable profitability and shareholder-value.

Scope of RisksThe scope of risks we manage includes the following:i) Credit risk;ii) Operational risk;iii) Market risk; iv) Liquidity risk;v) Accounting and Taxation risk;vi) Legal risk

a. Litigation risk;b. Contract risk;

37


c. Regulatory Compliance risk; andd. Collateral Default risk;

vii) Strategic riskviii) Human Capital risk;ix) Compliance risk; x) Insurance underwriting risk;xi) Information risk; and xii) Reputational risk

The Risk Management & Control function provides central oversight of risk management across the Group to ensure that the full spectrum of risks facing the Group are properly identified, measured, monitored and controlled to minimize adverse outcomes. Risk Management & Control is however complemented by other departments in the management of certain important risks as illustrated below:

RISK APPETITE

The Group's Risk Appetite is the level of risk the Group is prepared to accept to achieve its business strategy and objectives. The Board sets and monitors the Group's Risk Appetite and ensures that the Risk Appetite is fully integrated into strategy and business plans. Thus, our risk appetite is defined by the extent to which we tolerate risks as described by our performance indicators, operational parameters and process controls.

Our risk appetite is guided by the following broad considerations:

! Capital Adequacy: The level of excess capital that we maintain to protect against insolvency in extreme adverse scenarios;! Stable Profitability and Growth: The extent of variability in earnings that we are willing to accept on behalf of our investors;! Liquidity: The buffers that we maintain to protect the Group from short term funding problems; and! Strategic Focus: The level of various types of businesses that we are willing to pursue in executing our business model;

RISK MANAGEMENT GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

The Committee supported by the Risk Management & Control function performs research, quality assurance and provides analytical support to the business units. Risk management in the business units is the responsibility of the risk champions and their unit heads.

Risk Management & ControlRisk Management & Control provides technical assistance and counsel to assist other relevant functions identify, evaluate, mitigate, manage, track and report all the risks within the Group. The function recommends the Group's risk policies for Board approval, provides objective oversight and coordinates Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) activities Group-wide.

The following functions: Corporate Communications, Financial Control, Strategic Planning & Research Units and Legal Group, complement the Risk Management & Control function in the management of reputational, accounting & taxation, strategic and legal risks respectively.

The following are important elements of the Risk Management and Control function's responsibilities:a. Champion the implementation of the Enterprise-wide Risk Management framework across the Group;b. Develop risk policies, principles, processes and reporting standards that define the Group's risk strategy and appetite in line with

the Group's overall business objectives;c. Ensure that controls, skills and systems are in place to enable compliance with the Group's policies and standards;d. Facilitate the identification, measurement, assessment, monitoring and control of the level of risks in the Group; e. Collect, process, verify, monitor and distribute risk information across the Group and other material risk issues to Senior

Management, the Board of directors and Regulators;f. Monitor compliance with the Group's risk policies and limits;g. Provide Senior Management with practical and cost effective recommendations for mitigating risks;h. Carry out ad hoc reviews/investigations as requested by Senior Management;i. Ensure that laws, regulations and supervisory requirements are complied with;j. Champion the implementation of Basel II and other related initiatives as directed by the regulatory bodies;k. Promote risk awareness and provide education on risk management; and l. Provide assurance on compliance with internal and external policies with respect to risk management.

The Group's Risk Management and Control function is made up of the following:

Credit Risk ManagementCredit Risk is the risk that a borrower (or counterparty) will not meet the contractual (repayment) obligations in accordance with the agreed (borrowing) terms.

Diamond Bank has a Credit Risk Management framework approved by its Board.

The Credit Risk Management Objectives are:1) To provide a clear and consistent direction for the Bank for creating and managing credit exposures; 2) To maintain a high quality risk assets portfolio and minimize credit losses arising from errors of judgment and inefficient risk

management practices; 3) To achieve the lowest level of non-performing loans in the industry while maximizing returns on assets created; 4) To maximize stakeholder value; 5) To develop a strong credit risk culture where all staff actively participate in the Bank's risk management process and respond to them

with cost effective actions.

40


The Bank's Credit Risk Management Strategy is driven by its objectives and includes the adoption of the following strategies for the management of credit risk;

a) A selective and disciplined approach to credit origination and focus on customers that will create attractive value for the Bank; b) Adherence by all lending and approval individuals to the Bank's credit risk policies, developed to enable staff identify, measure and

manage credit risk exposures; c) The Board and Senior Management set the tone for the right risk culture in the Bank; d) Adequate pricing for the risks taken by the Bank; e) Maintenance of a diversified and balanced loan portfolio; e) Establishment and enforcement of the Bank's exposure and provisioning policies in accordance with the Prudential Guidelines and

other regulatory requirements; and f) Broadening of the knowledge and skills of all credit personnel through training and capacity building programmes.

The Group also sets internal credit approval limits for various levels in the credit process. Approval limits are set by the Board of Directors and reviewed from time to time as the circumstances of the Group demand.

Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate.

The key features of the Credit Risk Management structure & framework include:

! An independent credit analysis function clearly separated from the risk generating units! A Credit Analysis function separated from Credit Risk Management function to achieve desired efficiency & effectiveness in the credit

process. The Credit Analysis function performs the independent appraisal and identification of risks associated with credit exposures and ensures such decisions are taken in line with the Bank's policies & procedures;

! Credit Risk Management undertakes independent reviews of specific and portfolio credit exposures, and monitors, controls & reports on credit exposures;

! Remedial Assets Division (separated from the Credit Risk Management structure), which handles problem loans, credit recovery and collections.

Operational Risk ManagementOperational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.

Operational risk is the risk that occurs as a result of doing business and includes: technology failures, breaches in internal controls, frauds, unforeseen catastrophes, or other operational problems which may result in unexpected losses. Operational Risk events are neither new nor unique to banks; Operational Risk events generally result from the failure of processes & procedures.

Operational risks exist in all products and business activities.

Operational Risk events are classified according to how often the events occur (frequency) and the amount of resultant losses (impact) worldwide (in different industries/sectors, not just banks), the most significant losses are from high impact, low frequency events caused by (the growing prevalence) of the following:

! Automation/technology; ! Outsourcing;! Aggressive growth;! Incentives & trading (rogue trading);! Larger transaction volumes & values

Operational Risk Management (ORM) is the identification, assessment, measurement, mitigation, monitoring, control & reporting of Operational Risks.

Active ORM, by all staff of the Bank (and staff of the Group), within their strategic business units, leads to the reduction in frequency and amount of Operational Risk losses and better understanding of the Bank's Operational Risk Profile.

41


All employees of Diamond Bank are Operational Risk Managers i.e. they manage the operational risks inherent in their day-to-day activities. Also, Operational Risk Champions exist in branches, Head Office Units, Groups & Divisions; these Risk Champions are supported by the ORM function and they act as 'ORM experts' within their respective functions.

Business units and support functions in the Bank have primary responsibility and accountability for the management of operational risks in their units. The various units and functions are supported by an Operational Risk Management Unit which reports to the Group Risk Management Committee through the Head of Risk Management and Control, while Corporate Audit Group performs an independent assessment of the implementation of the bank's operational risk management framework.

Market Risk ManagementMarket Risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices and commodity prices; Market Risk is also the risk of loss from on-balance sheet and/or off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices. Market Risk generally represents the risk that the values of assets and liabilities or revenues will be adversely affected by market conditions. The Bank is exposed to potential market risk losses from its Trading Book and from its Banking Book.

Market Risk Management (MRM) is the process of identifying, assessing or measuring, mitigating, monitoring, controlling & reporting Market Risks.

Market risk encompasses price risk and liquidity risk, both of which arise in the normal course of business of the bank. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity may be unable to meet its financial commitment to a customer, creditor, or investor when due. Price risk is the earnings risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and their implied volatilities. Price risk arises in non-trading portfolios, as well as in trading portfolios.

The objective of Diamond bank's market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures in order to optimize return on risk.

The management of market risk is principally undertaken using the board approved risk management framework. Limits are set for portfolios, products and risk types with market liquidity as a principal determining factor. The market risk management group is responsible for measuring and monitoring market risk exposures in accordance with the defined policies and against prescribed limits and reporting these exposures within the parameters of the bank's overall risk appetite.

Diamond bank uses a range of tools to quantify, monitor and limit market risk exposures in the trading and non-trading portfolios.

Independent Assurance - Third Line of Defence

The third line of defence consists of all functions with primary responsibility for evaluating and providing independent assurance on the adequacy, appropriateness and effectiveness of the Group's overall risk management framework, risk governance structure, risk management processes and controls. The third line of defence also maintains an independent reporting line with the Board Audit & Risk Committee.

The following are involved in Independent Assurance the 3rd Line of Defence:

Corporate AuditCorporate Audit provides independent and objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the Group's risk management and internal control systems. Corporate Audit performs the following responsibilities:

a. Provides independent assessment and evaluation on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group's Risk Management Framework;b. Monitors Business Units and support function's compliance with the Group's risk policies;c. Assesses the adequacy of the Group's risk assessment and measurement methodology;d. Assesses the effectiveness of the Group's Risk Management and Control function process; ande. Conducts independent assessments and evaluation of the risks in Business Units' activities

External AuditThe external audit function is statutorily responsible to shareholders and provides an independent opinion on the Group's financial

42


statements. The function also reports on the adequacy of the Group's risk management and internal control framework.

The figure below is an overview of the Group's Risk Management framework.

Enterprise-wide Risk Management Organizational Structure

Diamond Bank continuously seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and reward in its business strategy and continues to build and enhance the risk management capabilities that will assist the Bank in delivering its growth plans in a controlled environment. To this end, the Bank has passed major milestones in its roadmap for implementing its Enterprise Risk Management framework.

During the financial year, Diamond Bank worked with an international firm of management consultants to enhance and implement its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and other frameworks for specific risk areas such as credit, market, liquidity, operational, strategic and reputational risks. The main benefits and objectives of the ERM implementation include the following:Ø It provides a platform for the Board and Management to make informed decisions regarding the trade off between risk and reward;Ø It helps to align business decisions at the operating level to the Group's appetite for risk;Ø It helps in balancing operational control with the achievement of strategic objectives;Ø It enables Executives to systematically identify and manage significant risks on an aggregate basis; Ø It enables the evaluation of new and existing investments on both a standalone and portfolio basis; andØ It minimises operational surprises and related costs or lossesAs we progress with the implementation of our Enterprise Risk Management Framework, we endeavour always to keep sight of our goal: which is to actualise our vision of building a world-class risk management culture.

Diamond Bank has expended considerable resources, including human, technological and financial, in improving our measurement, monitoring and reporting of risks and we believe that our efforts will go a long way to ensuring that our conservative approach to banking leads to an enviable reputation and long-term sustainable profitability.

Report of the Independent AuditorsTo the members of Diamond Bank Plc.

April 2010

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

a. Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are the stand alone and consolidated financial statements of Diamond Bank Plc (“the Bank), and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group"). The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of certain investment securities, property, plant and equipment, and comply with the Statements of Accounting Standards (SAS) issued by the Nigerian Accounting Standards Board.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the directors' best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

b. Consolidation

Subsidiary undertakings, which are those companies in which the Bank, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than half the voting rights or otherwise has power to control have been consolidated. However, subsidiaries in which the bank has temporary control and intention to dispose are not consolidated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date effective control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date of disposal. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are consistent with those of the Bank. Separate disclosure is made for non -controlling interest.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit and loss account.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, general accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement; its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize any further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealized gains on transactions between Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

c. Segment Reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

47

d. Foreign Currency Conversion and Translation

i. Transactions and BalancesForeign currency transactions are converted into the reporting currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit and loss account.

ii. Group CompaniesThe results and financial position of all Group entities that have a reporting currency different from that of the Bank are translated into the Bank's reporting currency as follows:

6 assets and liabilities for are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet dates;

6 income and expenses for are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing in the operating period, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

6 all resulting exchange differences are recognized in a separate component of reserves.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the investment in foreign entities are taken to shareholders' funds. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in the profit and loss account as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and other adjustments (e.g. previously unrecognized deferred tax asset) arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

e. Recognition of Income

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis for all interest bearing instruments, except for interest overdue by more than 90 days, which is suspended and recognized only to the extent of cash received.

Fees and commissions, where material, are amortized over the life of the related service. Otherwise fees, commissions and other income are recognized as earned upon completion of the related service.

Income from advances under finance lease is recognized on a basis that provides a constant yield on the outstanding principal over the lease term.

Interest earned on investment securities is reported as interest income. Dividends are recognized in the income statement when the entity's right to receive dividend is established.

Income arising on investments held by the life business is recognized in the life fund whilst income derived from investments held by the general business is credited to the profit and loss account.

Income arising from bond or guarantee and letters of credit (clean line) are recognized as earned on issuance of the bond or guarantee, or at the time the service or transaction is effected, while income from guaranteed commercial papers is recognized and reported net in the financial statements.

Trading income is the net gains or losses on valuation or sale of proprietary investments (treasury bills, bonds, equity instruments, etc) held by the group.


48

f. Provision Against Credit Risk

Provision is made in accordance with the Prudential Guidelines for Licensed Banks issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria for each account that is not performing in accordance with the terms of the related facility as follows:

Interest and/or Principal outstanding for over: Classification: Provision: 90 days but less than 180 days Substandard 10% 180 days but less than 360 days Doubtful 50% 360 days and over Lost 100%

In addition, the bank normally makes provision of at least 1% for performing risk assets to recognize risk inherent in any credit portfolio (currently not mandatory).

When a loan is deemed not collectible, it is written off against the related provision for impairments and subsequent recoveries are credited to the profit and loss account.

Risk assets in respect of which a previous provision was not made are written directly to the profit and loss account when they are deemed to be not collectible

g. Underwriting Results

The Group conducts life assurance and non-life insurance business through its subsidiary operations. The Group offers full range of insurance underwriting services. The Group accounts for its underwriting activities as follows:

i. Underwriting Results for Non-life Insurance BusinessThe underwriting results for non-life insurance business are determined on an annual basis whereby the incurred costs of claims, commission and related expenses are charged against the earned proportion of premiums, net of reinsurance, as follows:

1. Premiums written relate to risks assumed during the period, and include estimates of premium due but not yet received, less an allowance for cancellations.

2. Unearned premiums represent the proportion of the premiums written in periods up to the accounting date which relate to the unexpired terms of policies in force at the balance sheet date, and are calculated on time apportionment basis.

3. Claims paid represent all payments made during the period, whether arising from events during that or earlier periods. Outstanding claims represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims arising from incidents occurring prior to the balance sheet date, but not settled at that date. Outstanding claims are computed on the basis of the best information available at the time the records for the period are closed, and include provisions for claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”).

4. Provisions for unexpired risks are the estimated amounts required over and above provisions for unearned premiums to meet future claims and related expenses on businesses in force at the end of the accounting period.

5. Expenses are allocated to the relevant revenue accounts as incurred in the management of each class of business.

ii. Underwriting Results for Life Insurance BusinessThe underwriting results for life assurance business are determined on a fund accounting basis in accordance with SAS 16 Accounting

for Insurance Business. The incurred costs of claims, commission and related expenses are charged against the earned proportion of premiums as follows:

1. Premiums written relate to risks assumed during the period, and include estimates of premiums due but not yet received, less an allowance for estimated lapses.

2. Claims arising on maturity are recognized when the claim becomes due for payment. Death claims are accounted for on notification. Surrenders are accounted for on payment.


49

3. Expenses and commissions are allocated to the life fund as incurred in the management of the life business.

The life assurance contracts (accounted for in the life fund) are assessed every three years by qualified consulting actuaries in accordance with Section 29 of the Insurance Act. Any resulting actuarial loss is made up by the additional provisions from the Group's profit and loss account.

Actuarial surpluses are allocated between the shareholders and the policy holders. The Group allocates a maximum of 40% of surpluses arising on actuarial valuation to the shareholders by transfer to the profit and loss account. Any balance remaining is retained in the life fund and attributable to “with profit” policyholders as of the date of actuarial valuation.

In accordance with Section 22(1) of the Insurance Act 2003, an additional provision of not less than 25% of net written premium is maintained between valuation dates. This provision is transferred to the life fund from the profit and loss account.

h. Deferred Acquisition and Maintenance Expenses

Prepaid expenses include deferred acquisition expenses and deferred maintenance expenses. These expenses are incurred as a result of direct business earned from brokers. The deferred portion is calculated based on the percentage of unexpired risk to premium income.

i. Outstanding Claims and Provisions

Full provision is made for the estimated cost of all claims notified but not settled at the date of the balance sheet, less reinsurance recoveries, using the best information available at that time.

In non-life insurance business, a provision is also made for the cost of claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) until after the balance sheet date on the basis of 10% of claims notified but not settled in compliance with Section 20(1)(b) of the Insurance Act, 2003. Similarly provisions are made for "unallocated claims expenses" being the estimated administrative expenses that will be incurred after the balance sheet date in settling all claims outstanding as at that date, including IBNR. Differences between the provisions for outstanding claims at a balance sheet date and the subsequent settlement are included in the Revenue Account of the following period.

j. Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

k. Investment Securities

The Bank categorizes its investment securities into short term investments and long term investments. Investment securities are initially recognized at cost and management determines the classification at initial investment.

i. Short Term InvestmentsShort-term investments are investments held temporarily in place of cash and which can be converted into cash when current financing needs make such conversion desirable. In addition, management intends to hold for not more than one year.

Short-term investments are subsequently re-measured at the lower of cost and market value (quoted bid prices). The amount by which cost exceeds market value (unrealized loss) is charged to the profit and loss account.

ii. Long Term InvestmentsLong-term investments are investments held by management over a long period of time to earn income. Long-term investments may include debt and equity securities.

Long-term investments are carried at cost or at a revalued amount. When there has been a permanent decline in value of a long term investment, the carrying amount of the investment is written down to recognize the loss. Such a reduction is charged to the profit and loss account. Reductions in carrying amount are reversed when there is an increase, other than temporary, in the value of the


50

investment, or if the reasons for the reduction no longer exist.

An increase in carrying amount arising from the revaluation of long-term investments is credited to equity as revaluation surplus. To the extent that a decrease in carrying amount offsets a previous increase for the same investment, that has been credited to revaluation surplus and not subsequently reversed or utilized, it is charged against that revaluation surplus rather than income. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the revaluation reserve; all other decreases are charged to the profit and loss account.

An increase on revaluation which is directly related to a previous decrease in carrying amount for the same investment that was charged to the profit and loss account is credited to the profit and loss account to the extent that it offsets the previously recorded decrease.

Interest earned whilst holding investment securities is reported as interest income. Dividend receivables are included separately in dividend income when a dividend is declared. Gains or losses on sale of long term investments are recognized as gains or losses on sale of investment securities.

A change in market value of investment securities is not taken into account unless it is considered to be permanent. A decline in value of quoted long term investments is considered permanent when market value remains below carrying value for at least 3 years consistently.

l. Investments in Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried in the company's balance sheet at cost less provisions for impairment losses. Where, in the opinion of the Directors, there has been impairment in the value of an investment, the loss is recognized as an expense in the period in which the impairment is identified.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the profit and loss account.

m. Investment Property

An investment property is an investment in land or buildings held primarily for generating income or capital appreciation and not occupied substantially for use in the operations of the Group. A piece of property is treated as an investment property if it is not occupied substantially for use in the operations of the Group; an occupation of more than 15% of the property is considered substantial.

Investment properties are carried in the balance sheet at their market values and revalued periodically on a systematic basis at least once in every three years. Investment properties are not subject to periodic charge for depreciation.

When there has been a decline in the value of an investment property, the carrying amount of the property is written down to recognize the loss. Such a reduction is charged to the profit and loss account. Reductions in carrying amount are reversed when there is an increase, following a revaluation in accordance with the Group's policy, in the value of the investment property, or if the reasons for the reduction no longer exist.

An increase in carrying amount arising from the revaluation of investment property is credited to owner's equity as revaluation surplus. To the extent that a decrease in carrying amount offsets a previous increase for the same property, that has been credited to revaluation surplus and not subsequently reversed or utilized, it is charged against that revaluation surplus rather than the profit and loss account.

An increase on revaluation which is directly related to a previous decrease in carrying amount for the same property that was charged to the profit and loss account is credited to the profit and loss account to the extent that it offsets the previously recorded decrease.

Investment properties are disclosed separately from the property, plant and equipment used for the purposes of the business.

n. Property, Plant and Equipment

All property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. They are subsequently stated at historical cost less accumulated


51

depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the cost will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the profit and loss account for the financial period in which they are incurred.

Land and buildings comprise mainly branches and offices. Construction cost in respect of offices is carried at cost as work in progress. On completion of construction, the related amounts are transferred to the appropriate category of property and equipment. Payments in advance for items of property and equipment are included as Prepayments in “Other Assets” and upon delivery are reclassified as additions in the appropriate category of property and equipment. No depreciation is charged until the assets are put into use.

Capital work in progress represents construction costs in respect of new offices. On completion of construction, the related amounts are transferred to other categories of property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write down the cost of property, plant and equipment to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Motor vehicles - 4 yearsFurniture and fittings - 4 yearsComputer equipment - 3 yearsLeasehold land & buildings - Over the lease periodLeasehold improvement - Over the unexpired lease term

Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in the profit and loss account.

o. Leases

The Group classifies a lease as a finance lease if the following conditions are met:(a) Lease is non-cancelable, and(b) Any of the following is applicable:

(i) The lease term covers substantially (80% or more) the estimated useful life of the asset or, (ii) The net present value of the lease at its inception using the minimum lease payments and the implicit interest rate is equal to

or greater than the fair value of the leased asset or,(iii) The lease has a purchase option which is likely to be exercised.

A lease that does not qualify as a finance lease as specified above should be treated as an operating lease.

A Group company can be a lessor or a lessee in either a finance lease or an operating lease.

i. A Group Company is the LessorWhen assets are subject to a finance lease, the transactions are recognized in the books of the Group at the net investment in the lease. Net investment in the lease is the gross investment in the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The gross investment is the sum of the minimum lease payments plus any residual value payable on the lease. The discount on lease is defined as the difference between the gross investment and the present value of the asset under the lease. This discount is recognized as unearned and amortized to income as it is earned over the life of the lease at a basis that reflects a constant rate of return on the Group's net investment in the lease.

Finance leases are treated as risk assets and the net investment in the lease is subject to the provisioning policy listed in (f).


52


When assets are held subject to an operating lease, the assets are recognized as property and equipment based on the nature of the asset and the Group's normal depreciation policy for that class of asset applies.

Lease income is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term.

All initial direct costs associated with the operating lease are charged as incurred to the profit and loss account.

ii. A Group Company is the LesseeWhen the assets leased are subject to an operating lease, the total lease payments due are charged to profit and loss on a systematic basis in line with the time pattern of the user's benefit.

When the assets are subject to a finance lease, the Group accounts for it by recording the lease as an acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of a liability.

To capitalize the lease right, the Group determines the following:(a) The initial value of the leased asset and the corresponding liability.(b) The amortization rate or amount; and (c) The amount by which the lease liability is to be reduced.

At the beginning of the lease term, the Group records the initial asset and liability at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset less the present value of unguaranteed or partially guaranteed residual value which would accrue to the lessor at the end of the term of the lease. The discount factor to apply in calculating the present value of the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the lessor is the interest rate implicit in the lease.

Where the Group cannot determine the fair value of the leased asset, at the inception of the lease or is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the residual value of the lease without which the interest rate implicit in the lease could not be computed, the initial asset and liability are recorded at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments using the Group's incremental borrowing rate as the discount factor.

The leased assets should be depreciated or the rights under the leased asset should be amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation policy on the Group's own assets.

The minimum lease payment in respect of each accounting period is allocated between finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability. The finance charge is determined by applying the rate implicit in the lease to the outstanding liability at the beginning of each period.

p. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cash-generating units is represented by each primary reporting segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

q. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits denominated in Naira and to foreign currencies. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid instruments which are:

(i) Readily convertible into cash, whether in local or foreign currency; and

53


(ii) So near to their maturity dates as to present insignificant risk of changes in value as a result of changes in interest rate.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash and non-restricted balances with central banks, treasury bills and other eligible bills, operating account balances with other banks, amounts due from other banks and short-term government securities.

r. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are normally made for restructuring costs and legal claims. In addition, general provisions are made on performing risk assets balances in accordance with the Prudential Guidelines for Licensed Banks. Risk assets comprise of loans and advances, advances under finance lease, other facilities, etc.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group or the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events but is not recognized because it is not likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount cannot be reliably estimated.

Contingent liabilities normally comprise of legal claims under arbitration or court process in respect of which a liability is not likely to eventuate.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.

A contingent asset is never recognized rather they are disclosed in the financial statements when they arise.

s. Retirement Benefits

The Group has a non-defined contribution plan.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. For defined contribution plans, the Group makes contributions on behalf of qualifying employee to a mandatory scheme under the provisions of the Pension Reform Act of 2004. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

t. Deferred Taxation

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method for all timing differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Currently enacted tax rates are used to determine deferred income tax.

The principal timing differences arise from depreciation of property, plant and equipment, provisions for pension and other post-retirement benefits, provisions for loan losses and tax losses carried forward. The rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date are used to determine deferred income tax. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognized where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the timing differences can be utilized.

54

Income tax payable on profits or losses, based on the applicable tax law in each jurisdiction, is recognized as an expense in the period in which the profits or losses arise. The tax effects of income tax losses available for carry forward are recognized as an asset when it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which such losses can be utilized.

u. Borrowed Funds

Borrowed funds (or borrowings) are recognized initially at their issue proceeds and subsequently stated at costs less any repayments.

Transaction costs were immaterial, are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account. Where transaction costs are material, they are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan.

Interest paid on borrowings is recognized in the profit and loss account for the period.

v. Share Capital

i. Share issue costsIncremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares at a premium or to the acquisition of a business are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

ii. Dividends on ordinary sharesDividends on ordinary shares are appropriated from revenue reserve in the period they are approved by the Bank's shareholders.

Dividends for the period that are approved by the shareholders after the balance sheet date are dealt with in the subsequent events note

Dividends proposed by the Directors' but not yet approved by members are disclosed in the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Company and Allied Matters Act.

w. Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Contingent liabilities arising from guaranteed commercial papers, letters of credit (clean line), performance bonds and guarantees issued on behalf of customers in the ordinary course of business are reported off-balance sheet in recognition of the risk inherent in those transactions.

Income on these transactions is recognized as earned issuance of the bond or guarantee.

x. Sale of Loans or Securities

A sale of loans or securities without recourse to the seller is recognized by the seller is accounted for as a disposal and the asset excluded from the balance sheet.

Profits or losses on sale of loans or securities without recourse to the seller is recognized by the seller when the transaction is completed.

The Group regards a sale of loans or securities as without recourse, if it satisfies all the following conditions. Any sale not satisfying these conditions will be regarded as with recourse.

! control over the economic benefits of the asset must be passed on to the buyer;! the seller can reasonably estimate any outstanding cost; and! there must not be any repurchase obligations

A sale or transfer of loans or securities with recourse where there is an obligation to, or an assumption of, repurchase is not treated as a sale, and the asset remains in the Group's balance sheet, with any related cash received recognized as a liability.

Profit arising from sale or transfer of loan or securities with recourse to the seller is amortized over the remaining life. However, losses

55



are recognized as soon as they can be reasonably estimated.

Where there is no obligation to or assumption of repurchase, the sale should be treated as a disposal and the asset excluded from the balance sheet, and any contingent liability disclosed.

y. Fiduciary Activities

The Group acts as trustees and in other fiduciary capacities that result in the holding or placing of assets on behalf of individuals, trusts, retirement benefit plans and other institutions. These assets and income arising thereon are excluded from these financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group.

Financial Risk AnalysisFor period ended 31 December 2009

Credit risk

The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counter party will cause a financial loss for the Group by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group's business; management therefore carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally in lending activities that lead to loans and advances, and investment activities that bring debt securities and other bills into the Group's asset portfolio. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments. The credit risk management and control are centralized in credit administration department at Group level and reported to the Board of Directors and head of each business unit regularly.

Diamond Bank has a Credit Risk Management framework approved by its Board. The Credit Risk Management Objectives are:

1) To provide a clear and consistent direction for the Bank for creating and managing credit exposures; 2) To maintain a high quality risk assets portfolio and minimize credit losses arising from errors of judgment 3) To achieve the lowest level of non-performing loans in the industry while maximizing returns on assets created; 4) To maximize stakeholder value; 5) To develop a strong credit risk culture where all staff actively participate in the Bank's risk management process and respond to

them with cost effective actions.

The Credit Risk Appetite of the bank is defined by its expression or willingness to accept risk up to a level that minimizes erosion of earnings or capital due to avoidable losses from credit activities. The Bank's Credit Risk Management Strategy is driven by its objectives and includes adoption of the following strategies for the management of credit risk;

a) A selective and disciplined approach to credit origination and focus on customers that will create attractive value for the Bank; b) Adherence by all lending and approval individuals to the Bank's credit risk policies, developed to enable staff identify, measure and

manage credit risk exposures; c) The Board and Senior Management set the tone for the right risk culture in the Bank; d) Adequate pricing for the risks taken by the Bank; e) Maintenance of a diversified and balanced loan portfolio; f) Establishment and enforcement of the Bank's exposure and provisioning policies in accordance with the Prudential Guidelines and

other regulatory requirements; and g) Broadening of the knowledge and skills of all credit personnel through training and capacity building programmes.

Credit risk measurement

(a) Loans and advancesIn measuring credit risk of loan and advances to customers and to banks at a counterparty level, the Group reflects the following components:

(i) the character and capacity to pay of the client or counterparty on its contractual obligations; (ii) current exposures to the counterparty and its likely future development;(iii) credit history of the counterparty and (iv) the likely recovery ratio in case of default obligations value of collateral and other ways

out.

The Group's rating scale, which is shown below, reflects the range of default probabilities defined for each rating class. This means that, in principle, exposures migrate between classes as the assessment of their probability of default changes. The rating tools are kept under review and upgraded as necessary. The Group regularly validates the performance of the rating and their predictive power with regard to default events.

(b) Debt securities and other bills

For debt securities and other bills, external rating such as Standard & Poor's rating or their equivalents are used by Treasury for primarily to manage their liquidity risk exposures.

92

Risk limit control and mitigation policies

The Group manages limits and controls concentrations of credit risk wherever they are identified in particular, to individual counterparties and groups, and to industries and countries.

The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower, or groups of borrowers (single obligor limits), and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subject to an annual or more frequent review, when considered necessary. Limits on the level of credit risk by product, industry sector and by country are approved quarterly by the Board of Directors.

The exposure to any one borrower including banks and brokers is further restricted by sub-limits covering on- and off-balance sheet exposures, and daily delivery risk limits in relation to trading items such as forward foreign exchange contracts. Actual exposures against limits are monitored daily.

The Group also sets internal credit approval limits for various levels in the credit process and are shown in the table below.

Authorizing Level Approval Limit

BOARD N1.5BN TO LEGAL LENDING LIMIT

BOARD CREDIT COMMITTEE N1BN TO N1.5BN

MCC N500MM TO 1BN

MINI-MCC N250MM TO 500MM

MANAGING DIRECTOR N150MM TO N250MM

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS N100MM TO N150MM

HEAD, REGIONAL BUSINESS N50MM TO N100MM

REGIONAL MANAGERS N50MM

Approval limits are set by the Board of Directors and reviewed from time to time as the circumstances of the Group demand.

Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate.

Some other specific control and mitigation measures are outlined below.

(a) Collateral

The Group employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is the taking of security for funds advances, which is common practice. The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and advances are:

a. Mortgages over residential properties;b. Charges over business assets such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable;c. Charges over financial instruments such as debt securities and equities.

Longer-term finance and lending to corporate entities are generally secured; revolving individual credit facilities are generally unsecured. In addition, in order to minimise the credit loss the Group will seek additional collateral from the counterparty as soon as loss indicators are noticed for the relevant individual loans and advances.

Collateral held as security for financial assets other than loans and advances is determined by the nature of the instrument. Debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills are generally unsecured, with the exception of asset-backed securities and similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments.


93


(b) Master netting arrangementsThe Group further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties with which it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master netting arrangements do not generally result in an offset of balance sheet assets and liabilities, as transactions are usually settled on a gross basis. However, the credit risk associated with favourable contracts is reduced by a master netting arrangement to the extent that if a default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis.

(c) Credit-related commitments

The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and standby letters of credit carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit which are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.

Methodology for risk rating

Diamond Bank plc. uses the Moody's rating tool as the core rating for all its corporate credits. In addition to the core rating, the bank has recently developed a new rating framework for rating all corporate exposures in its credit portfolio.Through the new corporate framework, each corporate borrower will be given a rating on the 15-grade Diamond Master Rating Scale, which signifies the borrower's creditworthiness and risk of default. These ratings will be used to determine pricing, availability of credit, required collateral and other important decisions such as in relation to the extension of loans.

The new rating framework takes the core rating (i.e. Moody's) as a foundation and uses other factors such as the Group/country rating, early warning signals and any relevant new information to arrive at a more realistic rating for the borrower.

Enterprise risk review

The Diamond Bank Group seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and reward in its business and strategy, and continues to build and enhance the risk management capabilities that will assist it in delivering its growth plans in a controlled environment.The Group has made significant progress in its vision to become world-class at managing risk. Recently an International firm of management consultants updated the Group's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and frameworks for specific risk areas such as credit, market, liquidity, operational, strategic and reputational risks.

Full implementation of the requirements of the ERM Framework is on-going under the oversight of the Board Audit & Risk Committee (BARC), which is tasked with monitoring the implementation on behalf of the Board.

The Group's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework ensures risks are managed using a structured and disciplined approach that aligns strategy, processes, people, technology and knowledge with the purpose of evaluating and managing the opportunities and threats faced. The Group's “Enterprise-wide” Risk Management methodology ensures the removal of functional, divisional, departmental or cultural barriers to managing risks.

The main benefits and objectives to the Group of the ERM implementation include the following:! It provides a platform for the Board and Management to confidently make informed decisions regarding the trade-off between risk

and reward;! It aligns business decisions at the operating level to the Group's appetite for risk;! It balances operational control with the achievement of strategic objectives;! It enables Executives to systematically identify and manage significant risks on an aggregate basis; ! It enables the evaluation of new and existing investments on both a standalone and portfolio basis; and! It minimizes operational surprises and related costs or losses.

94

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Vision

Diamond Bank's ERM Vision is:“To build a world-class risk management culture”

Risk Management governance structure

The Group's Risk Management Governance Structure is based on the “three lines of defence” model which entails residing responsibility and accountability for risk management with all levels within the Group, from the Board of Directors down through the organisation to each business manager, risk officer, support staff and, indeed, every employee. These responsibilities are distributed in such a way as to ensure that risk/reward decisions are taken at the most appropriate levels and as close as possible to the business, but subject to robust and effective reviews.

Major stakeholders in the risk management governance structure include the following:

Board of DirectorsThe Board sets the Group's overall risk appetite, approves the risk management strategy and is ultimately responsible for the effectiveness of the risk management process and system of internal controls.

The Board oversees the risk management of the Group through the following committees:! Board Credit Committee;! Board Audit & Risk Committee; and! Board Governance Committee

Executive Management Executive Management under the leadership of the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer is responsible for managing risks inherent in the Group's business endeavours and activities. In addition to the aforementioned, Executive Management is also responsible for the following: ! Implementing the risk management framework approved by the Board;! Implementing strategies, processes and procedures set by the Board of Directors;! Implementing the internal control systems;! Setting risk management priorities; and ! Acting as the enforcer on such matters as aligning objectives, strategies, risk appetite, elimination of gaps and overlaps in risk

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfill commitments to lend.

Liquidity risk management processThe Group's liquidity management process is primarily the responsibility of the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO). Treasury is the executory arm of ALCO and its functions includes:

a. Day-to-day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met. This includes replenishment of funds as they mature or a borrowed by customers. The Group maintains an active presence in money markets to enable this to happen;

b. Maintaining a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can easily be liquidated as protection against any unforeseen interruption to cash flow

c. Monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and regulatory requirements (in conjunction with financial control unit); andd. Managing the concentration and profile of debt maturities.

Funding approachSources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by Treasury to maintain a wide diversification by currency, geography, provider, product and term.

Capital management

The Group's objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the 'equity' on the face of balance sheets, are:

a. To comply with the capital requirements set by the regulators of the banking markets where the entities within the Group operate;b. To safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits

for other stakeholders; andc. To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.

Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored daily by the Group's management, employing techniques based on the guidelines developed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), for supervisory purposes. The required information is filed with the CBN on a monthly basis. Auditors to the Group are also required to render an annual certificate to the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) that includes the computed capital adequacy ratio of the Group.

The CBN requires each bank to: (a) hold the minimum level of the regulatory capital of N25 billion and (b) maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital to the risk-weighted asset at or above the minimum of 10%. In addition, those individual banking subsidiaries or similar financial institutions not incorporated in Nigeria are directly regulated and supervised by their local banking supervisor, which may differ from country to country.

The Group's regulatory capital as managed by its Financial Control and Treasury Units is divided into two tiers:d. Tier 1 capital: share capital, retained earnings and reserves created by appropriations of retained earnings. The book value of goodwill is

deducted in arriving at Tier 1 capital; ande. Tier 2 capital: preference shares, minority interests arising on consolidation, qualifying debt stock, fixed assets revaluation reserves,

foreign currency revaluation reserves, general provisions subject to maximum of 1.25% of risk assets and hybrid instruments convertible bonds.

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates are deducted from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to arrive at the regulatory capital.

The risk-weighted assets are measured by means of a hierarchy of five risk weights classified according to the nature of and reflecting an estimate of credit, market and other risks associated with each asset and counterparty, taking into account any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposure, with some adjustments to reflect the more contingent nature of the potential losses.

The table below summarises the composition of regulatory capital and the ratios of the Group for the periods ended 31 December. During those two periods, the individual entities within the Group and the Group complied with all of the externally imposed capital requirements to which they are subject.

The decrease in the regulatory capital in 2009 is mainly due to the contribution of the current-period loss arising from significant loan loss provisions for loans.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Operational risk is the risk that occurs as a result of doing business and includes: technology failures, breaches in internal controls, frauds, unforeseen catastrophes, or other operational problems which may result in unexpected losses. Operational risks exist in all products and business activities.Business units and support functions in the Bank have primary responsibility and accountability for the management of operational risks in their units. The various units and functions are supported by an Operational Risk Management Unit which reports to the Group Risk Management Committee through the Head of Risk Management and Control, while Corporate Audit Group performs an independent assessment of the implementation of the bank's operational risk management framework.

Strategy risk

Strategic risk is the risk of current or prospective impact on the Group's earnings, capital, reputation or standing arising from the changes in the operating environment and from adverse strategic decisions, improper implementation of decisions, or lack of responsiveness to industry, economic or technological changes. It is a function of the compatibility of the Group's strategic goals, strategies developed to achieve these goals, the resources deployed to meet these goals, and the quality of the implementation of the strategic plan.

The Group strategic risk management focus is to proactively identify, understand, promptly analyse and appropriately manage strategic risks that could affect the achievement of the Group's strategic intent. In the process the Group:

a) Ensures that exposures reflect strategic goals that are not overly aggressive and are also compatible with developed business strategies.b) Avoids products, markets and business for which it cannot objectively measure and manage their associated risk; andc) Strives to maintain a balance between risk/opportunities and revenue consideration with the Group's risk appetite. Thus, risk-related

issues are considered in all business decisions.

The Board of directors has the ultimate responsibility for establishing and approving the Group's strategy in an integrated manner that aligns


107

strategies, goals, tactics and resources. The Board members participate in the Bank's Annual Strategy Session towards the review of the Strategic Plan. When approved, such plans are cascaded to the various business units/subsidiaries for creating business unit/subsidiary plans and budgets. It is the responsibilities of the Executive Management Committee to assist the board in developing and formulating strategies to meet the Group's strategic goals and objectives, and ensuring adequate implementation of the Group's strategic plan as approved by the board.

The Group Risk Management Committee is responsible for establishing a suitable reporting system which will ensure timely monitoring of strategic risk exposures, and undertaking measures for the elimination of any possible problems pertaining to internal and external factors. The strategic planning group has the primary responsibility for supporting the board and senior management in managing the Group's strategic risk and facilitating change in corporate strategic plan that contribute to the Group's organizational development and continuous improvement.
