2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below

These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated

21 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial

Standards HKASs and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA and the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies

Ordinance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the

revaluation of available-for-sale securities financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative financial

instruments) at fair value through profit or loss investment properties which are carried at fair value and premises which

are carried at fair value or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting

estimates It also requires the Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Grouprsquos accounting

policies The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are

significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKAS 1 (Revised) lsquoPresentation of Financial Statementsrsquo The amendments to HKAS 1 (Revised) require companies

preparing financial statements in accordance with HKFRSs to group together items within other comprehensive

income (OCI) that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement The amendments also

reaffirm existing requirements that items in OCI and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or

two consecutive statements The adoption of this revised standard will affect the presentation of the Grouprsquos statement

of comprehensive income

bull HKAS 19 (2011) lsquoEmployee Benefitsrsquo The revised standard mainly amends the part related to accounting for

changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets and related presentation and disclosure The amendments do

not have significant impact on the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial

Statementsrsquo

bull HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint

Arrangementsrsquo

bull HKAS 32 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Presentation ndash Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The amendment addresses inconsistencies in current practice when applying the offsetting criteria and clarifies the

meaning of lsquocurrently has a legally enforceable right of set-offrsquo and the application of offsetting criteria to some gross

settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) that may be considered equivalent to net settlement The

Group is considering the financial impact of the amendment

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transfer of Financial Assetsrsquo The amendment

introduces new quantitative disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets that are either fully derecognised

or derecognised not in their entirety The adoption of this amendment will affect the disclosures of the Grouprsquos financial

statements when the Group undertakes transfers of financial assets that fall within its scope

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The new disclosures which are similar to the new US GAAP disclosure requirements would provide users with

information that is useful in (i) evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entityrsquos financial

position and (ii) analysing and comparing financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs and US GAAP The

adoption of this amended standard will affect the disclosure of the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transition to IFRS 9rsquo The amendments provide relief

from the requirement to restate comparative financial statements which was originally available only to entities that

chose to apply HKFRS 9 prior to 2012 Instead additional transition disclosures will be required to help users to better

understand the effect of initial application of the standard

bull HKFRS 9 lsquoFinancial Instrumentsrsquo The first part of HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and will replace those

parts of HKAS 39 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets In November 2010 a further

pronouncement was published to address financial liabilities and derecognition Key features are as follows

(i) Classification and Measurement

Financial assets are required to be classified into one of the following measurement categories (1) those to be

measured subsequently at fair value or (2) those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost Classification is

to be made on transition and subsequently on initial recognition The classification depends on the entityrsquos

business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the

instrument

A financial instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instrument and the objective

of the entityrsquos business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows and the assetrsquos contractual

cash flows represent only unleveraged payments of principal and interest All other debt instruments are to be

measured at fair value through profit or loss

All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value Equity instruments that are held for trading will

be measured at fair value through profit or loss For all other equity investments an irrevocable election can be

made at initial recognition to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through other

comprehensive income rather than income statement Once elected to be recognised through other comprehensive

income there will be no reclassification of fair value gains and losses to income statement Dividends are to be

presented in income statement as long as they represent a return on investment

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

(ii) Financial Liabilities and Derecognition

Except for the two substantial changes described below the classification and measurement requirements of

financial liabilities have been basically carried forward with minimal amendments from HKAS 39 For the

derecognition principles they are consistent with that of HKAS 39

The requirements related to the fair value option for financial liabilities were changed to address own credit risk It

requires the amount of change in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial liabilities be

presented in other comprehensive income The remaining amount of the total gain or loss is included in income

statement If this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss then the whole fair value

change is presented in income statement The determination of whether there will be a mismatch will need to be

made at initial recognition of individual liabilities and will not be re-assessed Amounts presented in other

comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to income statement but may be transferred within equity

The standard eliminates the exception from fair value measurement contained in HKAS 39 for derivative liabilities

that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument

The mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 is deferred from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2015 with earlier adoption

still permitted The deferral will make it possible to have the same mandatory effective date for the entire standard

New transitional disclosures are required instead of comparative restatement The Group is considering the

financial impact of the standard and the timing of its application

bull HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial Statementsrsquo HKFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of

control as the determining factor when considering whether an entity should be included within the consolidated

financial statements of the parent company The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination

of control where this is difficult to assess It also replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation stipulated in

HKAS 27 (Revised) lsquoConsolidated and Separate Financial Statementsrsquo and HK(SIC)- Int 12 lsquoConsolidation ndash Special

Purpose Entitiesrsquo The remainder of HKAS 27 (Revised) is renamed HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo

as a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements without changing the existing guidance for separate

financial statements

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint Arrangementsrsquo Changes in the definitions stipulated in HKFRS 11 have reduced the lsquotypesrsquo of joint

arrangements to two joint operations and joint ventures A joint operation is a joint arrangement that gives parties to

the arrangement direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities The lsquojointly controlled assetsrsquo classification

in HKAS 31 lsquoInterests in Joint Venturesrsquo has been merged into joint operations as both types of arrangements

generally result in the same accounting outcome A joint venture in contrast gives the parties rights to the net assets

or outcome of the arrangement Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with HKAS 28

lsquoInvestments in Associatesrsquo which is renamed as HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo The

standard is amended to include the requirements of joint ventures accounting and to merge with the requirements of

HK(SIC)-Int 13 lsquoJointly Controlled Entities ndash Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturersrsquo After the application of HKAS

28 (2011) entities can no longer account for an interest in a joint venture using the proportionate consolidation method

bull HKFRS 12 lsquoDisclosure of Interests in Other Entitiesrsquo The standard sets out the required disclosures for entities

reporting under the two new standards HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 11 and the revised standard HKAS 28 (2011) The

existing guidance and disclosure requirements for separate financial statements stipulated in HKAS 27 (Revised) are

unchanged HKFRS 12 requires entities to disclose information that helps financial statements readers to evaluate the

nature risks and financial effects associated with the entityrsquos interests in subsidiaries associates joint arrangements

and unconsolidated structured entities

The above HKFRS 10 HKFRS 11 HKFRS 12 HKAS 27 (2011) and HKAS 28 (2011) issued in June 2011 are a group

of five new standards that address the scope of reporting entity and will supersede HKAS 27 (Revised) HKAS 28

HKAS 31 HK(SIC)-Int 12 and HK(SIC)-Int 13 Earlier application of these standards are permitted but only when they

are applied at the same time The Group is assessing the impact on the financial statements of the Group as a result

of the adoption of these new standards

bull HKFRS 13 lsquoFair Value Measurementrsquo The new standard which was issued in June 2011 replaces the fair value

measurement guidance contained in individual HKFRSs by providing a revised definition of fair value and a single

source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs The requirements do not

extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied when its use is already

required or permitted by other standards within HKFRSs The Group is assessing the impact on the financial

statements of the Group as a result of the adoption of this new standard

(c) Improvements to HKFRS

lsquoImprovements to HKFRSrsquo contains numerous amendments to HKFRS which the HKICPA considers not urgent but

necessary It comprises amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation recognition or measurement

purpose as well as terminology or editorial amendments related to a variety of individual HKFRS Most of the

amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 For amendments that are effective for

the financial year beginning on 1 January 2011 there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Group

Income Taxes 1 January 2012 Yes 2010

bull HKAS 12 (Amendment) lsquoIncome Taxesrsquo The standard which was revised in December 2010 is mandatorily effective

for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 Earlier application is permitted The Group considers that

the required treatment under the revised standard better reflects the tax position of the investment properties of the

Group and has early adopted the amended standard retrospectively since the year ended 31 December 2010

Upon early adoption deferred tax liabilities for the revaluation of investment properties have been calculated subject to

a nil tax rate

22 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank and all of its subsidiaries made up to

31 December

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group controls the composition of the board

of directors controls more than half of the voting power holds more than half of the issued capital or by any other means

that entitle the Group to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities The existence and effect of potential

voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls

another entity Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group They are de-

consolidated from the date that control ceases

21

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

22 Consolidation (continued)

Subsidiaries (continued)

For combination with a company under common control the merger accounting method will be applied The principle of

merger accounting is a way to combine companies under common control as though the business of the acquiree had

always been carried out by the acquirer The Grouprsquos consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated results

consolidated cash flows and consolidated financial position of the Group as if any such combination had occurred from

the date when the Bank and the acquiree first came under common control (ie no fair value adjustment on the date of

combination is required) The difference between the consideration and carrying amount at the time of combination is

recognised in other comprehensive income The effects of all transactions between the Group and the acquiree whether

occurring before or after the combination are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group

Comparative amounts are presented as if the acquiree had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period

The transaction costs for the combination will be expensed in the income statement

Inter-company transactions balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated

unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the assets transferred

Where necessary accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted

by the Group

In the Bankrsquos balance sheet the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses The

results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Bank on the basis of dividends received and receivable

23 Segmental reporting

The operating result of segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the

Management which is the chief operating decision maker of the Group that allocates resources and assesses the

performance of operating segments Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in

determining business segment performance

24 Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Grouprsquos entities are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which the entity operates (the ldquofunctional currencyrdquo) The consolidated financial statements are

presented in Hong Kong dollars which is the Bankrsquos functional and presentation currency

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions using the exchange

rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

translated at the rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period are recognised directly in the income statement

22

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

24 Foreign currency translation (continued)

Translation differences on monetary securities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as part of the fair value

gain or loss Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-

sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the securities and other

changes in the carrying amount of the securities Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are

recognised in the income statement and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive

income

Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as

part of the fair value gain or loss Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as

available-for-sale are included in the available-for-sale reserve in equity

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from Hong Kong dollars

are translated into Hong Kong dollars as follows

bull assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period

bull income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and

bull all resulting exchange differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity through other

comprehensive income

On consolidation exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of

borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments are taken to other comprehensive

income When a foreign entity is sold such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the

gain or loss on sale

25 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-

measured at fair value Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets including recent market

transactions and through the use of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models and options pricing

models as appropriate All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is

negative

The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (ie the fair value of the

consideration given or received)

23

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

25 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic

characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not carried at fair

value through profit or loss These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised

in the income statement

Derivatives are categorised as held for trading and changes in their fair value are recognised immediately in the income

statement unless they are designated as hedges and are effective hedging instruments then they are subject to

measurement under the hedge accounting requirements

26 Hedge accounting

The Group documents at inception the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk

management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions The Group also documents its

assessment both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis of whether the hedging instruments that are used in

hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of hedged items These criteria should be met

before a hedge can be qualified to be accounted for under hedge accounting

Net investment hedge

A gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and

accumulated in equity a gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement

Accumulated gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to income statement

upon disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss on disposal

27 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally

enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset

and settle the liability simultaneously

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognised in the income statement for all financial assets and financial liabilities using

the effective interest method

24

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of

allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period The effective interest rate is the rate that

exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or

when appropriate a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability When calculating

the effective interest rate the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial

instrument (eg prepayment options or incentives relating to residential mortgage loans) but does not consider future

credit losses The calculation includes fees premiums or discounts and basis points paid or received between parties to

the contract and directly attributable origination fees and costs which represent an integral part of the effective yield are

amortised as interest income or expense over the expected life of the financial instrument

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss

interest income is recognised on the written down value using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows

for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss Subsequent unwinding of the discount allowance is recognised as

interest income

Fee and commission income and expenses that are not an integral part of the effective yield are recognised on an accrual

basis ratably over the period when the related service is provided such as administrative fee asset management fee and

custody services fee Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the related syndication arrangement has

been completed and the Group has retained no part of the loan package for itself or has retained a part at the same

effective interest rate as that of other participants

29 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following four categories financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss loans and receivables held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale financial assets The Management

determines the classification of investments at initial recognition The classification depends on the purpose for which the

financial assets were held All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value Except for financial assets carried at

fair value through profit or loss all transaction costs of financial assets are included in their amortised costs

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through

profit or loss at inception

A financial asset which has been acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or is part of

a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent

actual pattern of short-term profit-taking is classified as held-for-trading Derivatives are also classified as held for

trading unless they are designated as effective hedges

29 Financial assets (continued)

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

A financial asset other than one held for trading will be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or

loss if it meets one of the criteria set out below and is so designated by the Management

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial assets or recognising the gains and

losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated on

a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information about

the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial assets containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial assets

These assets are recognised initially at fair value with transaction costs taken directly to the income statement and

are subsequently re-measured at fair value

Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such assets (excluding the interest component) are reported in net

trading gainloss or net gainloss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss The interest

component is reported as part of interest income Dividends on equity instruments of this category are also recognised

in net trading gainloss when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

(2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in

an active market including placements with and advances to banks and other financial institutions investment debt

securities without an active market and loans and advances to customers They arise when the Group provides money

goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable They are initially recorded at fair value

plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate method less allowances for impairment losses

26

29 Financial assets (continued)

(3) Held-to-maturity

Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are those traded in active markets with fixed or determinable payments

and fixed maturities that the Grouprsquos Management has both the positive intention and the ability to hold to maturity

Where the Group sold held-to-maturity assets (i) other than due to an isolated event beyond the Grouprsquos control non-

recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Group or (ii) other than an insignificant amount of

held-to-maturity assets the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale They are initially

recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less allowances for impairment losses

(4) Available-for-sale

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are those that are either designated as such or are not classified in any

of the other categories They are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to

needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates exchange rates or equity prices

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and

are subsequently measured at fair value Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of

investments are recognised directly in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is disposed of or impaired

at which time the accumulated gain or loss previously recognised in equity should be transferred to the income

statement However interest income which includes the amortisation of premium and discount is calculated using the

effective interest method and is recognised in the income statement Dividends on equity instruments classified as

available-for-sale are recognised in other operating income when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

The treatment of translation differences on available-for-sale securities is dealt with in Note 24

210 Financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities under the following categories trading liabilities financial liabilities designated

at fair value through profit or loss deposits and other liabilities All financial liabilities are classified at inception and

recognised initially at fair value

(1) Trading liabilities

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the

short term Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedges It is

measured at fair value and any gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

210 Financial liabilities (continued)

(2) Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability can be designated at fair value through profit or loss if it is so designated at inception A financial

liability is so designated if it meets one of the following criteria

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial liabilities or recognising the gains

and losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated

on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information

about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial liabilities containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial liabilities

Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and any gains and

losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

(3) Deposits and other liabilities

Deposits and other liabilities other than those classified as trading liabilities or designated at fair value through profit

or loss are carried at amortised cost Any difference (if available) between proceeds net of transaction costs and the

redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period using the effective interest method

211 Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder

for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a

contract between the holder and the debtor

Financial guarantees are initially recognised as financial liabilities and reported under ldquoOther accounts and provisionsrdquo in

the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given Subsequent to initial recognition the Grouprsquos

liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37

ldquoProvisions Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assetsrdquo and (ii) the amount initially recognised less where appropriate

accumulated amortisation recognised over the life of the guarantee on a straight-line basis Any changes in the liability

relating to financial guarantees are taken to the income statement

212 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss available-for-sale and held-to-maturity

securities are recognised on the trade date the date on which the Group purchases or sells the assets Loans and

receivables (except investment securities without an active market) are recognised when cash is advanced to the

borrowers Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have

expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership When the Group neither

transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset the Group either

continues to recognise the transferred financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement if control remains or

derecognise it if there is no retained control

Trading liabilities and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognised on the trade date

Deposits that are not trading liabilities are recognised when money is received from customers other liabilities are

recognised when such obligations arise Financial liabilities are de-recognised from the balance sheet when and only

when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged cancelled or expired

Securities and bills sold to a counter party with an obligation to repurchase at a pre-determined price on a specified

future date under a repurchase agreement are referred to as Repos Securities and bills purchased from a counter party

with an obligation to re-sell to the counter party at a pre-determined price on a specified future date under a resale

agreement are referred to as Reverse repos

Repos or securities lending are initially recorded as due to banks placements from banks and other financial institutions

as appropriate at the actual amount of cash received from the counter party Financial assets given as collateral for

repurchase agreements are not derecognised and are recorded as investment securities or financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss Reverse repos or securities borrowing are initially recorded in the balance sheet as cash and due

from banks or placements with banks and other financial institutions as appropriate at the actual amount of cash paid

to the counter party Financial assets received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements are not recognised on

the balance sheet The difference between sale and repurchase price is recognised as interest income or interest

expense over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method

213 Determination of fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are quoted in active markets are based on current bid

prices and current ask prices respectively If the market for financial assets and financial liabilities is not active (such as

unlisted securities) the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques These include the use of recent

armrsquos length transactions discounted cash flow analysis option pricing models and other valuation techniques

commonly used by market participants

214 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses as at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or

group of financial assets is impaired A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses

are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after

the initial recognition of the asset (a ldquoloss eventrdquo) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future

cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated Objective evidence that a

financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the

Group about the following probable loss events

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

(ii) a breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

(iii) the Group granting to the borrower for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty a

concession that the lender would not otherwise consider

(iv) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation

(v) the disappearance of an active market or downgrading below investment grade level for that financial asset

because of financial difficulties or

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of

financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the

individual financial assets in the group including

bull adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or

bull national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are

individually significant If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually

assessed financial asset it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and

collectively assesses them for impairment together with all other financial assets that are not individually significant

or for which impairment has not yet been identified Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for

which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment

30

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity securities has

been incurred the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assetrsquos carrying amount and the

present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted

at the financial assetrsquos original effective interest rate The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of

an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement If a loan or held-to-maturity

investment has a variable interest rate the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective

interest rate determined under the contract As a practical expedient the Group may measure impairment on the

basis of an instrumentrsquos fair value using an observable market price

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the

cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral

For the purposes of a collective assessment of impairment financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar and

relevant credit risk characteristics Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups

of such assets by being indicative of the debtorsrsquo ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of

the assets being evaluated

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the

basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets in the group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk

characteristics similar to those in the group Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable

data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is

based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently

When a loan is uncollectible it is written off against the related allowance for impairment losses Such loans are

written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of impairment losses in the income

statement

If in a subsequent period the amount of allowance for impairment losses decreases and the decrease can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised (such as an improvement in the

debtorrsquos credit rating) the previously recognised impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed by

adjusting the allowance account The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement

Loans whose terms have been renegotiated with substantial difference in the terms are no longer considered to be

past due but are treated as new loans

31

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(2) Assets classified as available-for-sale

If evidence of impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets the accumulated losses measured as the

difference between the acquisition cost or amortised cost and the current fair value less any impairment loss on that

financial asset previously recognised in the income statement is removed from equity and recognised in the income

statement In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale a significant or prolonged decline in the

fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired If in a

subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can

be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement the

impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed through the income statement With respect to equity

instruments further fair value changes are recognised in the reserve for fair value change of available-for-sale

securities through other comprehensive income impairment losses are not reversed through the income statement

215 Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and non-financial assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount

may not be recoverable Potential indications of impairment may include significant adverse changes in the

technological market economic or legal environment in which the assets operate or whether there has been a

significant or prolonged decline in value below their cost

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetrsquos carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount

The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell and value in use For the purposes of

assessing impairment assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows

(cash generating units) Assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each

reporting date

In the Bankrsquos financial statements impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is also required upon receiving

dividend from that entity if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of that entity concerned in the period

the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of that entity in the Banks balance sheet exceeds the carrying amount

of that entitys net assets including goodwill in its consolidated balance sheet

216 Investment properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that are not occupied by the

companies in the Group are classified as investment properties Properties leased out within Group companies are

classified as investment properties in individual companiesrsquo financial statements and as premises in consolidated

financial statements Land held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the

rest of the definition of investment property is met The operating lease is accounted for as if it is a finance lease

32

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

216 Investment properties (continued)

Investment properties are recognised initially at cost including related transaction costs After initial recognition

investment properties are measured at fair value assessed by professional valuers on the basis of open market value If

information of open market value is not available alternative valuation methods are used such as recent prices on less

active markets or discounted cash flow projections These valuations are performed in accordance with valuation

standards on properties published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the assetrsquos carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably The item is stated at

cost less impairment and is included in the carrying amount of investment properties Once the item begins to generate

economic benefits it is then measured at fair value All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the income

statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

Any changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income statement

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied it is reclassified as premises and its fair value at the date of

reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes If an item of premises becomes an investment property

because its use has changed any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the

date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income as a revaluation of premises under HKAS 16 ldquoProperty

Plant and Equipmentrdquo However if a fair value gain reverses a previous revaluation loss or impairment loss the gain is

recognised in the income statement up to the amount previously debited

217 Properties plant and equipment

Properties are mainly branch and office premises Premises are shown at fair value based on periodic at least annually

valuations by external independent valuers less subsequent accumulated depreciation Any accumulated depreciation at

the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the

revalued amount of the asset In the intervening periods the directors review the carrying amount of premises by

reference to the open market value of similar properties and adjustments are made when there has been a material

change

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment Historical cost

includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the items

Subsequent costs are included in an assetrsquos carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset as appropriate

only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the

item can be measured reliably The item is stated at cost until it begins to generate economic benefits then the item is

subsequently measured according to the measurement basis of its respective assets class All other repairs and

maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

33

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

217 Properties plant and equipment (continued)

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of premises are credited to the premises revaluation reserve

through other comprehensive income Decreases that offset previous increases of the same individual asset are

charged against premises revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income all other decreases are expensed

in the income statement Any subsequent increases are credited to the income statement up to the amount previously

debited and then to the premises revaluation reserve Upon disposal of premises the relevant portion of the premises

revaluation reserve realised in respect of previous valuations is released and transferred from the premises revaluation

reserve to retained earnings

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write down the cost or revalued amount of such assets over

their estimated useful lives as follows

bull Properties Over the life of government land leases

bull Plant and equipment 2-15 years

The useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate as at the end of each reporting period

At the end of each reporting period both internal and external sources of information are considered to determine

whether there is any indication that properties plant and equipmentare impaired If any such indication exists the

recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and where relevant an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset

to its recoverable amount Such impairment loss is recognised in the income statement except where the asset is

carried at valuation and the impairment loss does not exceed the revaluation surplus for that same asset in which case

it is treated as a revaluation decrease The recoverable amount is the higher of the assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell

and value in use Impairment loss is reversed through the premises revaluation reserve or income statement as

appropriate

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount relevant taxes and

expenses These are recognised in the income statement

34

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

218 Leases

(1) Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified

as operating leases The total payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)

are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired any payment required to be made to the

lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place Rental income

from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term

(2) Finance leases

Leases of assets where lessee have obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as

finance leases Government land leases in Hong Kong are classified as finance leases as market anticipates that the

leases can be extended for a nominal amount the risks and rewards of leasehold land would have already been

substantially transferred to the lessee as if it were freehold

Finance leases are capitalised at the leasersquos commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and

the present value of the minimum lease payments Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance

charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding The corresponding rental obligations

net of finance charges are included in other liabilities Investment properties acquired under finance leases are

carried at their fair value

When assets are leased out under a finance lease the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a

receivable Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using net investment method which reflects a

constant periodic rate of return

219 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with original

maturity less than three months from the date of acquisition including cash balances with banks and other financial

institutions short-term bills and notes classified as investment securities

220 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events it is

probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a

reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made

35

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

221 Employee benefits

(1) Retirement benefit costs

The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes under either recognised ORSO schemes or MPF

schemes that are available to the Grouprsquos employees Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees

are calculated as a percentage of employeesrsquo basic salaries for the ORSO schemes and in accordance with the MPF

rules for MPF schemes The retirement benefit scheme costs are charged to the income statement as incurred and

represent contributions payable by the Group to the schemes Contributions made by the Group that are forfeited by

those employees who leave the ORSO scheme prior to the full vesting of their entitlement to the contributions are

used by the Group to reduce the existing level of contributions or to meet its expenses under the trust deed of the

ORSO schemes

The assets of the schemes are held in independently-administered funds separate from those of the Group

(2) Leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and sick leave are recognised when they accrue to employees A provision is

made for the estimated liability for unused annual leave and the amount of sick leave expected to be paid as a result

of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period

Compensated absences other than sick leave and special approved annual leaves are non-accumulating they lapse

if the current periodrsquos entitlement is not used in full Except for unexpired annual leaves they do not entitle

employees to a cash payment for unused entitlement on leaving the Group Such compensated absences are

recognised when the absences occur

(3) Bonus plans

The expected cost of bonus payments are recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or

constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be

made Liabilities for bonus plans that are expected to be settled longer than twelve months will be recognised using

discounted cash flow method if the amounts are significant

222 Current and deferred income taxes

Tax expenses for the period comprises current and deferred tax Tax is recognised in the income statement except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income In this case the tax is also

recognised in other comprehensive income within the corresponding item

Income tax payable on profits based on the applicable tax law enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the

reporting period in each jurisdiction where the Bank and the subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income is

recognised as a current income tax expense in the period in which profits arise

36

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

222 Current and deferred income taxes (continued)

Deferred income tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences arising

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end

of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred

income tax liability is settled

The principal temporary differences arise from asset impairment provisions depreciation of premises and equipment

revaluation of certain assets including available-for-sale securities and premises and tax losses carried forward

However the deferred income tax is not recognised 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 income tax liabilities are provided in full on all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets

are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary

differences can be utilised

Deferred income tax is charged or credited in the income statement except for deferred income tax relating to fair value

re-measurement of available-for-sale securities and revaluation of premises which are charged or credited to other

comprehensive income in which case the deferred income tax is also credited or charged to other comprehensive

income and is subsequently recognised in the income statement together with the realisation of the deferred gain and

loss

Deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset arising from investment property is determined based on the presumption that

the revaluation amount of such investment property will be recovered through sale with the relevant tax rate applied

223 Repossessed assets

Repossessed assets are initially recognised at the lower of their fair value less costs to sell and the amortised cost of the

related outstanding loans on the date of repossession and the related loans and advances together with the related

impairment allowances are derecognised from the balance sheet Subsequently repossessed assets are measured at

the lower of their cost and fair values less costs to sell and are reported as lsquonon-current assets held for salersquo included in

lsquoOther assetsrsquo

224 Fiduciary activities

The Group commonly acts as a trustee or in other fiduciary capacities that result in its holding or managing assets on

behalf of individuals trusts and other institutions These assets and any gains or losses arising thereon are excluded

from these financial statements as they are not assets of the Group

37

225 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by

the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group It

can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow

of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably

A contingent liability is not recognised as a provision but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements When a

change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable it will then be recognised as a provision

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the

occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Group

Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of

economic benefits is probable When the inflow is virtually certain it will be recognised as an asset

226 Related parties

For the purposes of these financial statements a party is considered to be related to the Group if that party controls

jointly controls or has significant influence over the Group is a member of the same financial reporting group such as

parents subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries is an associate or a joint venture of the Group or parent reporting group is

a key management personnel of the Group or parents or where the Group and the party are subject to common control

Related parties may be individuals or entities

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next

financial year Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances Areas susceptible to

changes in essential estimates and judgements which affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are set out below

The effect of changes to either the key assumptions or other estimation uncertainties will be presented below if it is

practicable to determine It is possible that actual results may require material adjustments to the estimates referred to below

31 Impairment allowances on loans and advances

The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis In determining whether an

impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement the Group makes judgements as to whether there is any

observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans

and advances before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio This evidence may include

observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group (eg

payment delinquency or default) or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group The

Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective

evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when estimating expected future cash flows The methodology and

assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of loans and advances as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 23 to the Financial Statements

32 Impairment of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments

The Group reviews its held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment portfolios to assess impairment at least on a

quarterly basis In determining whether any of these investments is impaired risk characteristics and performance such

as external credit rating market price etc will be assessed The Group makes estimates on the default rate and loss

severity of each investment with reference to market performance of the portfolios current payment status of the issuers

or performance of the underlying assets or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the collateralised assets

The methodology and assumptions used for impairment assessments are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of investment in securities as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 25 to the Financial Statements

33 Fair values of derivative financial instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation

techniques Valuation techniques used include discounted cash flows analysis and models with built-in functions available

in externally acquired financial analysis or risk management systems widely used by the industry To the extent practical

the models use only observable data

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)

34 Held-to-maturity investments

The Group follows the guidance of HKAS 39 in classifying certain non-derivative financial assets with fixed or

determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity securities This classification requires significant

Management judgement to evaluate the Grouprsquos intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity If the Group

fails to hold these investments to maturity other than for specific circumstances defined in HKAS 39 such as selling an

insignificant amount selling close to maturity or due to significant credit deterioration of such investments it will be

required to reclassify the entire portfolio of financial assets as available-for-sale investments The investments would then

be measured at fair value and not amortised cost

4 Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risks as a result of engaging in a variety of business activities The principal financial risks

are credit risk market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk This note summarises the

Grouprsquos exposures to these risks as well as its objectives policies and procedures for managing and the methods used to

measure these risks

Financial risk management framework

The Grouprsquos risk management governance structure is designed to cover all business processes and ensure various risks

are properly managed and controlled in the course of conducting business The Group has a sound risk management

organisational structure with a comprehensive set of policies and procedures to identify measure monitor and control

various risks that may arise These risk management policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and modified to reflect

changes in markets and business strategies

The Board of Directors representing the interests of shareholders is the highest decision making authority of the Group

and has the ultimate responsibility for risk management The Board with the assistance of the Risk Management

Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) has the primary responsibility for formulating risk management strategies and ensuring that the Group

has an effective risk management system to implement these strategies

The RMC a standing committee established by the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Grouprsquos various

types of risks reviewing and approving high-level risk-related policies and overseeing their implementation reviewing and

approving significant or high risk exposures or transactions and exercising its power of veto if it considers that the

transactions should not proceed

41

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) 4 Financial risk management (continued)

Financial risk management framework (continued)

The Group has put in place appropriate internal control systems including establishment of an organisation structure that

sets adequately clear lines of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with policies procedures and limits

Proper reporting lines also provide sufficient independence of the control functions from the business areas as well as

adequate segregation of duties throughout the organisation which helps to promote an appropriate internal control

environment

Pursuant to a risk-based approach the Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on areas including principal

risks regulatory compliance adequacy and effectiveness of risk policies and internal control systems operations and

activities

Product development

To ensure effective risk assessment and monitoring the Group developed a comprehensive product development and

management framework which clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of all related units and the proper risk

assessment procedures for the product development process

In accordance with the strategic objectives set by the Management the respective product management units are

responsible for formulating business and product development plans and the division of strategic development shall ensure

the plans are aligned with the Grouprsquos overall strategies Divisions that are responsible for risk management legal

compliance and finance etc are accountable for reviewing the relevant risk assessment results

Apart from product development the respective business units identify and assess all the related risks Risk evaluating

divisions shall conduct independent review on risk management procedures and assessment results Products can only be

launched after the risk management procedures are fulfilled and endorsed by all risk evaluating divisions

In order to be prudent in offering treasury products to our clients all treasury products regardless brand new or modified

require approval from the Management or the special committee before launching

41 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that a customer or counterparty will be unable to or unwilling to meet its contractual

obligations Credit risk exists in the trading book and banking book on- and off-balance sheet exposures of a bank It

arises principally from lending trade finance treasury businesses and covers inter-bank transactions foreign exchange

and derivative transactions as well as investments in bonds and securities

Credit risk management framework

The Group has formulated a comprehensive set of credit risk management policies and procedures and appropriate

credit risk limits to manage and control credit risk that may arise These policies procedures and credit risk limits are

regularly reviewed to cope with changes in risk market conditions and business strategies

42

41 Credit Risk (continued)

Credit risk management framework (continued)

The Grouprsquos organisation structure establishes a clear set of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with

policies procedures and limits

The Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) a management committee chaired by the Chief Executive

(ldquoCErdquo) is responsible for the implementation of the credit risk management strategies as well as the approval of credit

policies It also monitors various aspects of the Grouprsquos loan portfolio such as asset quality risk concentration etc

Various units of the Group have their respective credit risk management responsibilities Business units act as the first

line of defense They are obliged to make thorough assessment on every credit application and are fully responsible for

monitoring credit performance and punctual repayments The business activities conducted should also comply with the

credit policies and procedures The risk management units which are independent from the business units have the

primary responsibilities for providing an independent due diligence and identifying measuring monitoring and

controlling credit risk They report directly to the CLMC RMC and CE

The Board of Directors is the ultimate source of credit authority The Board of Directors delegates credit approval

authority to the CE The CE can further delegate to the subordinates within the limit authorized by the Board of Directors

The Group sets the limits of credit approval authority according to business nature rating the level of transaction risk

and the extent of the credit exposure

Credit risk measurement and control

In view of the rapidly changing market conditions the Group has been continuously revisiting its credit strategies and

conducting rigorous reviews on the concerned portfolios

Loans and advances

Different credit approval and control procedures are adopted according to level of risk associated with the customer

counterparty or transaction All credit applications are subject to thorough risk assessment and proper approval In

general most of the credit applications will be reviewed and assessed by independent officer(s) of risk management

unit(s) before approval with exceptions given to certain designated products which satisfy certain conditions These

designated loans will be (randomly) reviewed by designated unit(s) which is(are) independent from the front line

business units after funding being drawn Corporate and financial institution credit applications are independently

reviewed and objectively assessed by risk management units Obligor ratings and facility grades are assigned to these

portfolios Retail internal ratings systems are used in risk assessment of retail credit transactions including small

business retail exposures residential mortgage loans and personal loans Loan grades obligor ratings as well as loss

estimates (if applicable) are used to support credit approval

The Group also uses loan grades obligor ratings and loss estimates (if applicable) to support credit monitoring analysis

and reporting For corporate and financial institution more frequent rating review and closer monitoring are required for

riskier customers For retail exposures monthly updated ratings and loss estimates are used for credit monitoring on a

portfolio basis More comprehensive review is required for obligors being identified under high-risk pools

The Group has established credit master scale for internal rating purpose which is in compliance with the Banking

(Capital) Rules on rating structure and can be mapped to Standard amp Poorrsquos external ratings

In addition to obligor ratings the Group adopts a facility rating system (in the case of corporate and bank exposure) and

expected loss (in the case of retail exposures) to assess the risk in the facility structure during credit approval This two-

dimensional rating approach to evaluate credit risk complies with the HKMArsquos requirements on IRB

Regular credit management information reports and ad hoc reports are provided to the Management RMC and Board

of Directors to facilitate their continuous monitoring of credit risk

The Group identifies credit concentration risk by industry geography customer and counterparty risk The Group

monitors changes to counterparties credit risk quality of the credit portfolio and risk concentrations and reports

regularly to the Management

The Group continues to adopt loan grading criteria which divides credit assets into 5 categories with reference to

HKMArsquos guidelines

ldquoPassrdquo represents loans where the borrower is current in meeting its repayment obligations and full repayment of

interest and principal is not in doubt

ldquoSpecial Mentionrdquo represents loans where the borrowers are experiencing difficulties which may threaten the Grouprsquos

position Ultimate loss is not expected at this stage but could occur if adverse conditions persist

ldquoSubstandardrdquo represents loans where the borrower displays a definable weakness that is likely to jeopardise

repayment

ldquoDoubtfulrdquo represents loans where collection in full is improbable and the Group expects to sustain a loss of principal

andor interest taking into account the net realisable value of the collateral

ldquoLossrdquo represents loans which are considered uncollectible after all collection options (such as the realisation of

collateral or the institution of legal proceedings) have been exhausted

Debt securities and derivatives

For investments in debt securities and securitisation assets the obligor ratings or external credit ratings assessment of

the underlying assets and credit limits setting on customersecurity issuer basis are used for managing credit risk

associated with the investment For derivatives the Group sets customer limits to manage the credit risk involved and

follows the same approval and control processes as loans and advances On-going monitoring and stop-loss

procedures are established

Settlement risk arises mainly from foreign exchange transactions with counterparties and also from derivatives in any

situation where a payment in cash securities or equities is made in the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash

securities or equities Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to cover all settlement risk arising

from the Grouprsquos transactions on any single day

Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements

The valuation and management of collateral have been documented in the policy covering acceptance criteria validity

of collateral loan-to-value ratio haircut ratio valuation and insurance etc The collateral is revalued on a regular basis

though the frequency and the method used varies with the type of collateral involved and the nature and the risk of the

underlying credit The Group has established a mechanism to update the value of its main type of collateral real estate

properties with the use of public indices on a portfolio basis Collateral is insured with the Group as the beneficiary

For loans guaranteed by a third party the Group will assess the guarantorrsquos financial condition credit history and ability

to meet obligations

As at 31 December 2011 and 2010 the Group did not hold any collateral permitted to sell or re-pledge in the absence of

default by the borrower

(A) Credit exposures

The maximum exposure is a worst case scenario of credit risk exposure to the Group without taking account of any

collateral held or other credit enhancements For on-balance sheet assets the maximum exposure to credit risk

equals their carrying amount For letters of guarantee issued the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum

amount that the Group could be required to pay if the guarantees are called upon For loan commitment and other

credit related liabilities the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities

The nature of the collateral held and other credit enhancements and their financial effect to the different classes of

the Grouprsquos financial assets are as follows

Balances and placements with banks and other financial institutions

These exposures are generally considered to be low risk due to the nature of the counterparties Collateral is

generally not sought on these assets

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and investment in securities

Collateral is generally not sought on debt securities

Derivative financial instruments

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement is the preferred agreement for documenting

derivatives activities of the Group It provides the contractual framework within which dealing activities across a full

range of OTC products are conducted and contractually bind both parties to apply close-out netting across all

outstanding transactions covered by an agreement if either party defaults or another pre-agreed termination event

occurs

Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and commitments

The general types of collateral are disclosed on page 45 Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and

commitments are collateralised to the extent considered appropriate by the Group taking account of the risk

assessment of individual exposures The collateral coverage of advances to customers is analysed on pages 58 to

61 The components and nature of contingent liabilities and commitments are disclosed in Note 38 Regarding the

commitments that are unconditionally cancellable without prior notice the Group would assess the necessity to

withdraw the credit line in case where the credit quality of a borrower deteriorates Accordingly these commitments

do not expose the Group to significant credit risk

Advances with a specific repayment date are classified as overdue when the principal or interest is past due and

remains unpaid Advances repayable by regular instalments are classified as overdue when an instalment payment

is past due and remains unpaid Advances repayable on demand are classified as overdue either when a demand for

repayment has been served on the borrower but repayment has not been made in accordance with the instruction or

when the advances have remained continuously outside the approved limit that was advised to the borrower

A financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of

impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated

future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated

(B) Gross advances and other accounts (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as

the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the

financial asset Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes observable data that comes to the

attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include

- Significant financial difficulty incurred by the borrower

- A breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

- For economic or legal reasons related to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty the Group has granted to the borrower a

concession that it would not otherwise consider

- Probable that the borrower will become bankrupt or undergo other financial reorganisation or

- Other observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such

loans and advances

Sensitivity analysis to foreign exchange risk exposure (Non Structural)

At 31 December 2011 the majority of the net positions of the Group and the Bank were denominated in US dollar

and Renminbi therefore the Group and the Bank do not expose to significant foreign exchange risk other than US

dollar and Renminbi If US dollar and Renminbi exchange rate had changed by 1 with other variables held

constant profit after tax for the year of the Group and the Bank would have been changed by HK$7705000 (2010

HK$1007000) and HK$7026000 (2010 HK$481000) respectively

(B) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk means the risks to a bankrsquos earnings and economic value arising from adverse movements in

interest rate and term structures of the bankrsquos asset and liability positions The Grouprsquos interest rate risk exposures

are mainly structural The major types of interest rate risk from structural positions are

- Repricing risk - mismatches in the maturity or repricing periods of assets and liabilities

- Basis risk - different pricing basis for different transactions so that the yield on assets and cost of liabilities may

change by different amounts within the same repricing period

- Yield curve risk - non-parallel shifts in the yield curve that may have an adverse impact on net interest income or

economic value

- Option risk - exercise of the options embedded in assets liabilities or off-balance sheet items that can cause a

change in the cashflows of assets and liabilities

The Group has formulated ldquoInterest Rate Risk Management Policiesrdquo which set out the framework and methodologies

to identify measure monitor and control interest rate risk

Both the members of the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ldquoALCOrdquo) and RMC are responsible for interest

rate risk management ALCO maintains oversight of interest rate risk and RMC sanctions the interest rate risk

management policies formulated by ALCO The interest rate risk is identified and measured on a weekly basis The

Finance Department manages the interest rate risk according to the established policies and assigns the Financial

Management Division to monitor the related risks closely and to report the results to ALCO regularly

Gap analysis is one of the tools used to measure the Grouprsquos exposure to repricing risk This provides the Group with

a static view of the maturity and repricing characteristics of its balance sheet positions The Group uses interest rate

derivatives to hedge its interest rate exposures and in most cases plain vanilla interest rate swaps are used

42 Market Risk (continued)

(B) Interest rate risk (continued)

Sensitivities of net interest income and economic value to interest rate changes are assessed through a hypothetical

interest rate shock of 200 basis points across the yield curve on both sides Sensitivity of net interest income is

controlled within an approved percentage of the projected net interest income for the year whereas sensitivity of

economic value is confined to a percentage of the latest capital base both measures are sanctioned by RMC The

results are reported to ALCO and RMC on a regular basis

The impact of basis risk is gauged by the projected change in net interest income under scenarios of imperfect

correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different instruments

Stress test on yield curve risk is performed to assess the impact on economic value due to the steepening or

flattening of the yield curve The impact of options embedded in demand and savings deposits and prepayment of

mortgage loans is also assessed under different stress test scenarios

The interest rate risk exposures in the Group are controlled through the use of limits

1 Net Interest Income sensitivity ratio

2 Economic Value sensitivity ratio

3 Repricing Mismatch Gap limits

Before launching a new product or business the relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying interest rate risk and consideration of the adequacy of current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on interest rate risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

Sensitivity analysis to market risk exposure of banking book of the Group

The Group is principally exposed to HKD USD and RMB in terms of interest rate risk The following example

illustrates how the Grouprsquos stress test is performed As at 31 December 2011 if HKD USD and RMB market interest

rates had been 100 basis points higher with other variables held constant the impacts on net interest income over

the next twelve months and on reserves for the Group and the Bank would have been as follows

Impact on net interest income over the next

twelve months at 31 December Impact on reserves

at 31 December The Group The Bank The Group The Bank 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010Scenarios HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000Up 100 basis points parallel shift in HK dollar yield curves 173383 159088 153181 138206 (37656) (44830) (37656) (44830) Up 100 basis points parallel shift in US dollar yield curves (55874) (87748) (52696) (81833) (128679) (156064) (128679) (156064) Up 100 basis points parallel shift in Renminbi yield curves 68429 117098 7232 37019 (125726) (18817) (62236) (9455)

The overall positive impact (HKD USD and RMB combined) on net interest income is similar to 2010 The increase

in positive earnings impact of HKD and USD is met by the fall in RMB Reserves would have been reduced

because of the expected reduction in valuation of available-for-sale portfolio due to the above simulated market

rates movement The reduction of reserves is larger compared with 2010 because the size and duration of

available-for-sale portfolio is increased

To construct stressful scenarios severe assumptions are made including a change in the correlation between HK

dollar and US dollar interest rates parallel movement of interest rates for the banking book positions of all repricing

or maturity dates In the absence of actions that would be taken to mitigate the impact of interest rates shock all

positions are assumed to run to maturity and reprice or mature simultaneously within a given time band

43 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to fund increases in assets meet obligations as they fall due or

take strategic opportunity without incurring unacceptable losses

Liquidity risk management framework

The liquidity risk management framework of the Group comprises three levels The Board of Directors and the RMC

are the ultimate decision making authority and are responsible for the compliance with regulatory requirements

Formulation of the risk management procedures and implementation mechanism and monitoring of the compliance are

mainly responsible by the ALCO Daily management of liquidity is carried out by the Treasury Management Sub-

Committee and the Treasury Division while the Financial Management Division monitors the liquidity risk and provides

regular reports to the Management and local regulatory bodies

The liquidity management process is carried out both at the Group and subsidiary level The principal subsidiaries

execute their daily risk management processes independently subject to risk policies that are consistent with those of

the Group and report to the Grouprsquos Management on a regular basis

The Group has developed a robust liquidity risk management mechanism by maintaining an appropriate size of highly-

liquefiable assets and proper liability structure enabling the Group to meet even under adverse market conditions all

its obligations as they fall due and to fund all its asset growth and strategic opportunities without forced liquidation of

its assets at short notice

At present the Group has set up Key Risk Indicators such as 1-month liquidity ratio and loan-to-deposit ratio The

indicators are used as the major tools in the identification measurement monitoring and control of the liquidity risk on

regular basis by setting limits assessing and monitoring the ratios Besides the Group also monitors deposit stability

concentration of deposits from large depositors and liquidity profile of the investment portfolio

Liquidity risk management framework (continued)

The related risk management process includes

- Perform cash-flow projections under normal and stressed scenarios using the net mismatch gap between assets and

liabilities to estimate the prospective net funding requirements

- Maintain strong liquidity ratios to comply with both internal and external regulatory requirements

- Maintain a diversified liability base to ensure sufficient funding sources

- Maintain a proper level of highly liquid assets to serve as a liquidity buffer for emergency needs

- Monitor the structure and stability of the deposit portfolio

- Assess the ability to borrow from the inter-bank money market to avoid over-reliance on the money market for funding

- Maintain a proper contingency plan which includes setting early warning signals (including internal indicators and

market indicators) with timely monitoring procedures and establishing a management reporting system and

contingency procedures

Before launching a new product or business relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying liquidity risk and consideration of the adequacy of the current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on liquidity risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

44 Capital Management

The major objective of the Grouprsquos capital management is to maximise total shareholdersrsquo return while maintaining a

capital adequacy position in relation to the Grouprsquos overall risk profile The Group periodically reviews its capital

structure and adjusts the capital mix where appropriate to achieve the required rate of return on capital

The Group has developed and maintained a sound framework of policies and controls on capital management to

support the development of the Grouprsquos business and to meet the statutory capital adequacy ratio ALCO monitors the

Grouprsquos capital adequacy The Group has complied with all the statutory capital standards for all the periods

In prior years the Group adopted the STC approach to calculate credit risk capital charge With the HKMA approval

from 1 January 2011 the Group has migrated to the FIRB approach to calculate the credit risk capital charge for the

majority of its non-securitisation exposures and internal ratings-based (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit

risk capital charge for its securitisation exposures A small residual credit exposures was approved by HKMA to be

exempted from FIRB approach and remained under STC approach

The Group continues to adopt the standardize approach to calculate the capital charges on market risk and operational

risk under Pillar One in compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules in year 2011

In compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules this regulatory capital framework aligns regulatory capital requirements

more closely with the inherent risks Following announcement of the Basel III regulations by Basel Committee the

Group has analyzed the possible impact of the new capital requirements to ensure that the Group plans ahead for the

transition of for the implementation of the new regulations

The Group has established an ICAAP Through this process each material risk associated with the Grouprsquos main

activities is assessed by pre-defined assessment models and a comprehensive judgment of the overall risk profile is

decided subsequently by taking into account the Grouprsquos governance structure risk management quality internal

control environment and capital strength Finally the minimum CAR is derived through the procedures to relate the

Grouprsquos overall risk profile to its capital adequacy The minimum CAR aims to cover the various material risks

undertaken by the Group The Group considers this ICAAP process as an on-going process for capital management

and periodically reviews and adjusts its capital structure in relation to the overall risk profile

In addition the annual capital plan of the Group is drawn up and discussed by the ALCO and submitted to the Board for

approval The plan is built up by assessing the impacts by various factors upon CAR such as the business strategies

return on equity risk appetite credit rating as well as regulatory requirements and based on this study to derive our

future capital demand and the way to obtain the capital sources The plan is to ensure the Grouprsquos capital adequacy

and achieve optimal capital structure in order to align with our business development and risk profile

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

(A) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information

about various financial instruments The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair

value of each class of financial instrument as far as practicable

Balances with banks and other financial institutions and Trade bills

The maturities of these financial assets and liabilities are within one year and the carrying value approximates fair

value

Advances to customers banks and other financial institutions

Substantially all the advances to customers banks and other financial institutions are on floating rate terms bear

interest at prevailing market interest rates Their carrying value approximates fair value

Held-to-maturity securities

Fair value for held-to-maturity securities is based on market prices or brokerdealer price quotations Where this

information is not available fair value has been estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar

credit maturity and yield characteristics Their carrying value approximates fair value

Loans and receivables

A discounted cash flow model is used based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity

and their carrying value approximates fair value

Deposits from customers Substantially all the deposits from customers mature within one year from the balance sheet date and their carrying

value approximates fair value

108

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(B) Financial instruments measured at fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into following three levels

ndash Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including certain foreign

exchange derivative contracts

ndash Level 2 Valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for

the asset or liability either directly or indirectly This level includes the majority of the OTC derivative contracts

debt securities with quote from pricing services providers

ndash Level 3 Valuation technique using inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data

(unobservable inputs) This level includes equity investment and debt instruments with significant unobservable

components

The Group uses valuation techniques or brokerdealer quotations to determine the fair value of financial

instruments when unable to obtain the open market quotation in active markets

The main parameters used in valuation techniques for financial instruments held by the Group include bond prices

interest rates foreign exchange rates equity and stock prices volatilities counterparty credit spreads and others

which are all observable and obtainable from open market

For certain illiquid debt securities and unlisted private equity held by the Group Management obtains valuation

quotations from counterparties The fair value of these financial instruments may be based on unobservable inputs

which may have significant impact on the valuation of these financial instruments and therefore these instruments

have been classified by the Group as level 3 The Group has established internal control procedures to control the

Grouprsquos exposure to such financial instruments

22 Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into the following exchange rate interest rate and precious metal related derivative financial instrument

contracts for trading and risk management purposes

Currency forwards represent commitments to purchase and sell foreign currency on a future date

Currency and interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another Swaps result in an

exchange of currencies interest rates (for example fixed rate for floating rate) or a combination of all these (for example

cross-currency interest rate swaps) Except for certain currency swap contracts no exchange of principal takes place

Foreign currency options are contractual agreements under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right

but not the obligation either to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) at or by a set date or during a set period a specific

amount of the financial instrument at a predetermined price In consideration for the assumption of foreign exchange and

interest rate risk the seller receives a premium from the purchaser Options are negotiated over-the-counter (ldquoOTCrdquo)

between the Group and its counterparty

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the

following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the

balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the

consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the

current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The

derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign

exchange rates market interest rates or metal prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial

instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

125

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

41 Litigation

The Group is currently being served a number of claims and counterclaims by various independent parties These claims

and counterclaims are in relation to the normal commercial activities of the Group

No material provision was made against these claims and counterclaims because the directors believe that the Group has

meritorious defences against the claimants or the amounts involved in these claims are not expected to be material

42 Segmental reporting

(a) By class of business

The Group has changed the charge on inter-segment funding from the corresponding money market rates to money

market rates adjusted with pre-determined margins this year These margins reflect differentiation based on product

features Meanwhile corporate bonds were reclassified from Corporate Banking to Treasury to align with the

corresponding change in the product management No change has been made to the comparative figures However if

the same mechanismclassification were applied for last year it is estimated that the net interest income of Personal

Banking Corporate Banking and Treasury would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$

+227219000 -302924000 and +75705000 respectively Moreover a net trading loss of HK$124141000 and a

net gain of HK$40617000 on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss which were

generated from corporate bonds would be shifted from Corporate Banking to Treasury

The Group divides its business into four classes Personal Banking Corporate Banking Treasury and Investment

Both Personal Banking business and Corporate Banking business provide general banking services Personal

Banking serves individual customers while Corporate Banking deals with non-individual customers The Treasury

segment is responsible for managing the capital liquidity and the interest rate and foreign exchange positions of the

Group in addition to proprietary trades It provides funds to other business segments and receives funds from deposit

taking activities of Personal Banking and Corporate Banking These inter-segment funding is charged according to the

internal funds transfer pricing mechanism of the Group The assets and liabilities of Treasury have not been adjusted

to reflect the effect of inter-segment borrowing and lending (ie the profit and loss information in relation to Treasury is

not comparable to the assets and liabilities information about Treasury)

Investment includes bank premises and equipment used by supporting units Charges are paid to this segment from

other business segments based on market rates per square foot for their occupation of the Grouprsquos premises The

exchange difference arising from capital of our subsidiary Nanyang Commercial Bank (China) Limited is recognised

in its income statement is also included in this class

ldquoOthersrdquo refers to other group operations and mainly comprises of items related to the Group as a whole and totally

independent of the other four business segments

Revenues and expenses of any business segment mainly include items directly attributable to the segment For

management overheads allocations are made on reasonable bases In this year a more detailed and comprehensive

cost allocation mechanism was adopted No change has been made to the comparative figures However if the same

mechanism were applied for last year it is estimated that the operating expenses of Personal Banking Corporate

Banking Treasury investment and Others would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$ -

101583000 +106943000 +99348000 -59328000 and -45380000 respectively

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach

31 The internal rating systems and risk components

The Group adopts the FIRB approach to calculate the regulatory capital requirements for most of the corporate and bank

exposures and adopts the supervisory slotting criteria approach to project finance exposures under specialised lending

Other items Specific Risk-weight Approach

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

The internal rating system is a two dimensional rating system that provides separate assessment of borrower and

transaction characteristics For corporate and bank portfolios the obligor rating reflects exclusively the risk of borrower

default and the facility rating reflects transaction specific factors that affect the loss severity in the case of borrower

default Expected Losses are also calculated in the retail IRB portfolios to reflect the risk of loss in credit decisions

All the corporate and bank borrowers are assigned into eight broad obligor ratings including seven grades for non-

defaulted obligors with sub-divisions into 26 minor credit grades and one grade for defaulted obligors All credit

transactions for corporates and banks are assigned into 21 facility grades In the supervisory slotting criteria approach

for the project finance exposures there are four grades for non-defaulted borrowers and one for defaulted borrowers in

accordance with the HKMA guidance

The Group uses internal rating system to assess the borrowers likelihood of default for all IRB portfolios PD is

measured to reflect the risk of borrower default over a one-year period A borrower rating means a category of credit-

worthiness to which borrowers are assigned on the basis of a specified and distinct set of rating criteria from which

estimates of PD are derived

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (continued)

31 The internal rating systems and risk components (continued)

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

(continued)

In the process of obligor rating assignment variables of latest financial performance management quality industry

risks and group connection of each obligor are assessed as critical factors to predict borrowers ability and willingness

to meet with the contractually obligations under different economic conditions The internal rating tools employ

statistical and analytical techniques for the final rating assignment

The Group adopted statistical models to provide own estimated PD LGD and EAD for exposures arising from

residential mortgages to both individuals and property-holding shell companies qualifying revolving retail exposures

and other retail exposures to individuals and small business retail exposures The PD reflects the risk of borrower

default over a one-year period while the EAD and LGD estimates reflect the loss severity of its credit exposures Each

of retail exposures is pooled by nature of obligors facility types collateral types and delinquency status This grouping

process provides the basis of accurate and consistent estimation for PD LGD and EAD at the pool level

For each internal rating the equivalent external rating in terms of default risk is as below

(B) Use of internal estimates

The estimates of risk components derived from internal rating models are not only used in the calculation of regulatory

capital but also in many other areas including credit approval credit monitoring reporting and analysis of credit risk

information etc

(C) Process of managing and recognising credit risk mitigation

For those collaterals recognised under capital management the Group has well-defined policies and procedures for

collateral valuation and management which are compliant with the operational requirements for recognised collateral

for credit risk mitigation as stated in the Banking (Capital) Rules

For credit exposures adopting FIRB approach for capital calculation purpose the recognised eligible guarantees

include the guarantees provided by banks and securities firms with a lower risk weights than the counterparty and

corporate with internal credit ratings which is equivalent to external credit rating A- or above The Group takes into

account the credit risk mitigation effect of recognised collaterals through its determination of the net credit exposures

and the effective LGD

For retail IRB approach the effect of the credit risk mitigation is incorporated into the internal risk parameters of PD or

LGD depending on the nature of the guarantees and collaterals for calculating the risk exposures

The credit and market risk concentrations within the credit risk mitigation (recognised collateral and guarantees for

capital calculation) used by the Group are under a low level

Up to the date of report the Group has not used any recognised credit derivative contracts on- or off-balance sheet

recognised netting for credit risk mitigation yet

(D) The control mechanisms used for internal rating systems

The Group has established a comprehensive mechanism to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the

rating systems including the estimation processes for the risk components

All of IRB risk measurement models are approved by the Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) and

Risk Management Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) of the Board

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (continued)

31 The internal ratings system and risk components (continued)

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

To achieve reasonably accurate risk ratings assignment the Group has established the rating approval process which

is independent from the sales and marketing units Since the internal ratings is one of the key inputs to the making of

credit decisions a control mechanism is in place to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the rating

assignment For the wholesale (corporate and banks) portfolio internal ratings are normally approved by credit officers

who are functionally separated from sales and marketing units In some cases where the transactions are small

amount or low risk ratings can be assigned and approved by staff within sales and marketing activities subject to post-

approval review by credit risk management unit

The rating assignment and risk quantification process of retail portfolio is highly automated As an integral part of the

daily credit assessment process the accuracy and completeness of the data input for automatic rating assignment is

verified by units independent from business development function

The performance of internal ratings system is under ongoing periodic monitoring The senior management periodically

reviews the performance and predictive ability of the internal rating system The effectiveness of the internal rating

system and processes are reviewed by independent control functions (including model validation unit) and internal

audit The results of the review are reported to the Board and senior management regularly

A model validation team which is independent from the model development unit and rating assignment units conducts

periodic model validations Model acceptance standards are established to ensure the discriminatory power accuracy

and stability of the rating systems Reviews of rating models are triggered if the performance of a model deteriorates

materially against predetermined tolerant limits

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

The obligor rating assignment is reviewed at least annually as required by the Grouprsquos credit risk policy When credit

events occur to the obligor rating review is triggered promptly in accordance with the Grouprsquos credit risk policy

Rating override process is designed to allow the credit analyst to include any other relevant credit information that has

conservatism and prudential consideration Overrides to better grades (upgrades) are however more confined All

upgrades will be limited to a maximum of two sub-grades with a pre-defined list of appropriate reasons All overrides

It should be noted that actual loss and expected loss are measured and calculated using different methodologies which

compliant to relevant regulatory and accounting standards which are therefore not directly comparable The limitation

arises mainly from the fundamental differences in the definition of ldquolossrdquo The expected loss under Basel II which estimates

the economic loss arising from the potential default of the obligor by taking into account the time value of money and

including the direct and indirect costs associated with the recoveries on the credit exposures while actual loss is the net

individually assessed impairment charges and write-offs made during the year in accordance with the accounting

standards

The actual default rate (actual PD) is measured by using the number of obligors (for wholesale exposures) or number of

accounts (for retail exposures) defaulted whereas the estimated probability of default (estimated PD) is the long run

average default rate over an economic cycle and is the estimated one-year forward-looking PD estimated from the

beginning of the reporting period

Hence actual PD in a particular year (ldquopoint-in-timerdquo) will typically differ from the estimated PD which is the ldquothrough-the-

cyclerdquo estimate as economies move above or below the cyclical norms

The estimated PD is more conservative than the actual default rate for most asset classes

4 Credit risk under the standardised (credit risk) approach

41 Ratings from External Credit Assessment Institutions (ldquoECAIrdquo)

The ECAIs recognised by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch The Group continues to adopt STC

approach based on external ratings to determine the risk weight of the following asset classes of exposures

- Sovereign

- Public sector entity

- Multilateral development bank

The Group performs the ECAI issuer ratings mapping to its exposures in the banking book in accordance with Part 4 of

the Banking (Capital) Rules

42 Credit risk mitigation

For credit exposures adopting STC approach the main types of recognised collaterals include cash deposits debt

securities and shares for non past-due exposures In addition real estate collateral is also recognised for past due

exposures Those collaterals taken by the Group are compliant with the comprehensive approach in its treatment of

recognised collateral for credit risk mitigation in capital calculation as mentioned in the Banking (Capital) Rules For credit

exposures under STC approach the recognised guarantees for capital calculation include the guarantee given by

sovereigns public sector entities multilateral development banks with a lower risk weight than the counterparty and

corporate with external rating of A- or above

5 Counterparty credit risk-related exposures

The Grouprsquos counterparty credit risk arising from OTC derivative transactions repo-style transactions both in trading and

banking book is subject to the same risk management framework as mentioned in Note 4 to the Financial Statements The

Group establishes credit limit through formal credit approval procedures to control the pre-settlement credit risk arising from

OTC derivatives transactions and settlement limit to control the settlement risk arising from foreign exchange-related

transactions in both the trading book and banking book The Group monitors the risk exposure due to fluctuations in the

market by using the current exposure and the potential exposure value of the transactions Exceptions or excesses are timely

and closely identified and monitored by credit risk management units

Currently the Group uses the Current Exposure Method to measure and monitor the counterparty credit exposures which

comprises current exposures and potential future exposures

The Group establishes prudent eligibility criteria and haircut policy of debt securities being pledged as collateral for repo-style

transactions

The Group formulates policy for classification of credit assets according to the PD of individual counterparty and the period of

overdue If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred impairment allowance will be provided

according to HKFRS and regulatory requirements

6 Assets securitisation

The Group has not acted as an originating institution for the issuance of securitisation transactions business during the year

Securitisation exposures arise from the Grouprsquos investing activities and the related exposures are commercial mortgage loans

As an investing institution the Group has adopted the IRB approach to calculate the credit risk for asset securitisations in 2011

In prior years the Group adopted the standardised (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit risk for securitisation

exposures

The ECAIs used by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch

Securitisation exposures arising from the Grouprsquos investing activities are analysed as follows

9 Equity exposures in banking book

Equity holdings in other entities are accounted for in accordance with the underlying intentions of holdings at the inception of

acquisition The classifications for equity holdings taken for relationship and strategic purposes will be separated from those

taken for other purposes (including capital appreciation) Investments in equity shares which are intended to be held on a

continuing basis but which do not comprise investments in subsidiaries are classified as available-for-sale securities and are

reported in the balance sheet as investments in securities

For equity exposures in banking book other than subsidiaries the Group applies the same accounting treatment and

valuation methodologies as detailed in the Notes 29(4) and 212 to the Financial Statements If additional investment is made

subsequently such that an investee becomes an associate jointly controlled entity or subsidiary then the investment is

reclassified in accordance with the Grouprsquos accounting policies

Management of Risks

The Overview

The principal types of risk inherent in the business of the Group include credit risk liquidity risk market risk interest rate risk

foreign exchange risk and operational risk The Grouprsquos risk management goal is to maximise shareholder value by managing risk

exposures within our acceptance level

Risk Management Structure

The Bankrsquos Board of Directors (the ldquoBoardrdquo) holds the ultimate responsibility for the Grouprsquos overall risk management It

determines the risk management strategies and the risk management structure

To achieve the Grouprsquos goals in risk management the Board sets up the Risk Management Committee which comprises of

independent non-executive directors to oversee the Grouprsquos various types of risks and approve the high-level risk management

policies

According to the risk management strategies established by the Board risk management policies and controls are devised and

reviewed regularly by relevant departments and respective management committees chaired by the Chief Executive (the ldquoCErdquo)

The Risk Management Units develop policies and procedures for identifying measuring monitoring and controlling credit risk

market risk operational risk reputation risk legal and compliance risk interest rate risk liquidity risk and strategic risk to set

appropriate risk limits and to continually monitor risks

The Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management policies and

controls to ensure that the Group is operating according to the established policies procedures and limits

Independence is crucial to effective risk management To ensure the independence of the Risk Management Department and the

Auditing Department they report directly to the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Committee respectively Both

committees are specialised committees set up by the Board and all members are directors of the Bank

Management of Risks (continued)

Risk Management Structure (continued)

(i) Credit risk management

Details of management of credit risk are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(ii) Liquidity risk management

Details of liquidity risk management are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(iii) Market risk management

Details of market risk management are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(iv) Operational risk management

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes staff and information technology

system or from external events The risk is inherent in every aspect of operations The Board recognises operational risk as

a distinct risk category that should be managed with full attention and should be kept up with the best practice of the industry

The Group has formulated and implemented the Operational Risk Management Policy which provides a bank-wide

classification of operational risks and sets out the requirements on risk identification assessment reporting monitoring and

mitigation

To ensure operational risks being under proper monitoring and supervision effective internal control system has been

enforced by means of computer systems and rigorous procedures In addition through coaching and frequent training the

Group has maintained teams of experienced and competent staff in all business and management areas to execute and

monitor the operations of the Group

The Grouprsquos policies and procedures will be reviewed vigilantly and updated in accordance with the new promulgated

requirements from time to time Furthermore the Auditing Department performs independent checking to ascertain that the

procedures are properly followed and reports discrepancies found directly to the Audit Committee

In order to meet regulatory bodiesrsquo requirements and to facilitate the implementation of operational risk management

framework a dedicated division in the Risk Management Department monitors collects analyzes reports the records and

details of the operational risk losses and incidents

The Group has reviewed and enhanced the Business Continuity Plan of all critical banking services To ensure practicality of

the plan drill on contingency plans on certain critical business functions has been duly performed annually and the result was

satisfactory

Management of Risks (continued)

Risk Management Structure (continued)

(v) Reputation risk management

Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity damage to reputation or complaints associated with or relating to the Group

membersrsquo business practices financial condition staff behaviour or conduct whether genuine or not which may impair public

confidence in the Group members causing a potential decline in the customer base costly litigation or settlement revenue

erosion public reprimand or severe regulatory sanctions Reputation risk is inherent in every aspect of the Grouprsquos business

operation and covers a wide spectrum of issues Market rumors or public perceptions are significant factors in determining

the level of risk in this category

In order to mitigate reputation risk the Group has formulated and implemented - Reputation Risk Management Policy which

establishes standards to prevent and to manage reputation risk proactively at an early stage In order to eliminate or alleviate

the negative impact on the Grouprsquos reputation incidents related to reputation risk are handled promptly in accordance with

the Business Continuity Plan and Negative Incident Response Mechanism

In addition precautionary measures have been taken and special attention has been drawn in the combat of the Anti-Money

Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing activities Specific procedure manuals and self-checking compliance list have been

issued and trainings have been provided to all staff to stipulate the Grouprsquos policy and stance in order to prevent the Grouprsquos

services being used by the villains for illegal activities

(vi) Legal and compliance risk management

Legal risk is the risk that unenforceable contracts lawsuits or adverse judgments may disrupt or otherwise negatively affect

the operations or financial condition of the Group

Compliance risk is the risk of legal and regulatory sanctions financial loss or loss to reputation that the Group may suffer as

a result of its any failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations By establishing and maintaining appropriate

policies and guidelines the Group ensures to conduct its business in compliance with the requirements of relevant laws and

regulations

(vii) Strategic risk management

Strategic risk generally refers to the risks that may induce some current or future negative impacts on the earnings capital

Corporate Governance (continued)

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism

1 Performance Management Mechanism

To reflect the corporate culture of ldquoAchieving Performance and Effectivenessrdquo the Group has put in place a performance

management mechanism to formalize the performance management at the levels of the Group units and individuals The

annual targets of the Group will be cascaded down under the framework of balanced scorecard whereby the performance

of the senior management and different units (including business units risk control units and other units) would be

assessed from the perspectives of financial customer building blockkey tasks human capital risk management and

compliance As to the performance management of individual staff at different levels the annual targets of the Group will

be tied to the job requirements of different posts at different levels through the model of level-based performance

management Performance of individuals will be appraised with reference to their accomplishment of work targets

contribution towards overall performance of their corresponding units and compliance of risk management and internal

control policies Under this mechanism not only the target accomplishment has been taken into account the risk

exposure involved during the course of work of a staff member could also be evaluated and managed so as to provide

safeguards to the Group against the risk and ensure normal operations The mechanism is also coupled with the

assessment on system of values thereby facilitating the attainment of the core values of the Group

2 Risk Modification of Remuneration

To implement the principle of aligning the performance and remuneration with the risk based on ldquoThe Risk Adjustment

Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquoof BOCHK the key risk modifiers of the bank have been incorporated into

the performance management mechanism of the Group The size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group is

calculated according to the risk adjusted performance results approved by the Board of BOCHK and is subject to its

discretion In doing so the total amount to be paid to staff as variable remuneration would be determined on the basis of

the risk adjusted performance results This method enables the Group to fix the Grouprsquos Variable Remuneration Pool

after considering risk exposures and changes and to maintain effective risk management through the remuneration

mechanism

ldquoThe Risk Adjustment Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquo consists of ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo and ldquoPost Result Score

Adjustmentrdquo

ldquoRisk Modifier measures the risk factors that are quantifiable and directly linked to the Group financial performance

including credit risk market risk interest rate risk as well as liquidity risk With most of the indicators being quantitative

ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo utilizes both absolute and relative measures and assesses the risk level from both ex-ante and ex-

post perspectives

ldquoPost Result Score Adjustment measures the risk factors that are not quantifiable aiming at the overall adjustment

to the group performance results upon the occurrence of major risk events These risk factors include operational risk

legal and compliance risk as well as reputation risk ldquoPost Result Score Adjustmentrdquo utilizes qualitative measures to

assess the impact of non quantifiable risk factors to the group performance results from ex-post perspective

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

3 Performance-based and Risk-adjusted Remuneration Management

The remuneration of staff is composed of ldquofixed remunerationrdquo and ldquovariable remunerationrdquo the proportion of one to the

other for individual staff members depends on job grades roles responsibilities and functions of the staff with the

prerequisite that balance has to be struck between the fixed and variable portion Generally speaking the higher the job

grades andor the greater the responsibilities the higher will be the proportion of variable remuneration so as to

encourage the staff to follow the philosophy of prudent risk management and sound long-term financial stability

Every year the Group will conduct periodic review on the fixed remuneration of the staff with reference to various factors

like remuneration strategy market pay trend and staff salary level and to determine the remuneration based on the

affordability of the Group as well as the performance of the Group units and individuals As mentioned above

performance assessment criteria include quantitative and qualitative factors as well as financial and non-financial

indicators

According to the Group Bonus Funding Mechanics of BOCHK the size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group

is determined by the Board of BOCHK on the basis of the financial performance of the Group and the achievement of

non-financial strategic business targets under the long-term development of the BOCHK Group Thorough consideration

is also made to the risk factors in the determination process The size of the Pool is reached based on pre-defined

formulaic calculations but the Board of BOCHK can make discretionary adjustment to it if deemed appropriate under

prevailing circumstances When the BOCHK group performance is relatively weak (eg failed to meet the threshold

performance level) no variable remuneration will be paid out that year in principle however the Board of BOCHK owns

the rights of discretionary decision

As far as individual units and individual staff are concerned allocation of the variable remuneration is closely linked to the

performance of the units and that of each individual staff as well as the unit heshe is attaching to the assessment of

which should include risk modifiers The performance and remuneration arrangement of risk control personnel are

determined by the achievements of their core job responsibilities independent from the business they oversee for front-

line risk controllers a matrix reporting and performance management system is applied to ensure the suitability of

performance-based remuneration Within the acceptable risk level of the Group the better the performance of the unit

and the individual staff the higher will be the variable remuneration for the individual staff

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

4 Linking the payout of the variable remuneration with the time horizon of the risk to reflect the long-term value

creation of the Group

To work out the principle of aligning remuneration with the time horizon of risk and to ensure that sufficient time is

allowed to ascertain the associated risk and its impact before the actual payout payout of the variable remuneration of

staff is required to be deferred in cash if such amount reaches certain prescribed threshold The Group adopts a

progressive approach towards deferral The longer the time horizon of risk in the activities conducted by the staff the

higher the job grade or the higher amount of the variable remuneration the higher will be the proportion of deferral

Deferral lasts for 3 years

The vesting of the deferred variable remuneration is linked with the long term value creation of the Group The vesting

conditions are linked to the yearly performance (financial and non-financial) of the BOCHK Group in the next 3 years to

the effect that the variable remuneration could only be vested to such extent as set for the relevant year in that 3-year

period subject to the condition that the BOCHK Grouprsquos performance has met the threshold requirement in the

corresponding year In case of material revision of the original estimates of the performance of the Group or individual

units or if a staff is found to commit fraud or found to be of malfeasance or in violation of internal control policies the

unvested portion of the deferred variable remuneration of the relevant staff will be clawed back

196

Advances are impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the advances that can be reliably estimated If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on advances has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the advances Objective evidence that advances are impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the condensed consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates market interest rates metal prices or equity prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

related condensed consolidated income statement the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income the condensed

consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six-month period then

ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes The directors of the Bank are responsible for

the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim

report our conclusion solely to you as a body in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose We do

not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ldquoReview of Interim Financial

Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entityrdquo issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants A

review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting

matters and applying analytical and other review procedures A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in

accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become

aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared

in all material respects in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim Financial Reportingrdquo

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below

These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated

21 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial

Standards HKASs and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA and the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies

Ordinance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the

revaluation of available-for-sale securities financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative financial

instruments) at fair value through profit or loss investment properties which are carried at fair value and premises which

are carried at fair value or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting

estimates It also requires the Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Grouprsquos accounting

policies The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are

significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKAS 1 (Revised) lsquoPresentation of Financial Statementsrsquo The amendments to HKAS 1 (Revised) require companies

preparing financial statements in accordance with HKFRSs to group together items within other comprehensive

income (OCI) that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement The amendments also

reaffirm existing requirements that items in OCI and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or

two consecutive statements The adoption of this revised standard will affect the presentation of the Grouprsquos statement

of comprehensive income

bull HKAS 19 (2011) lsquoEmployee Benefitsrsquo The revised standard mainly amends the part related to accounting for

changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets and related presentation and disclosure The amendments do

not have significant impact on the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial

Statementsrsquo

bull HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint

Arrangementsrsquo

bull HKAS 32 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Presentation ndash Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The amendment addresses inconsistencies in current practice when applying the offsetting criteria and clarifies the

meaning of lsquocurrently has a legally enforceable right of set-offrsquo and the application of offsetting criteria to some gross

settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) that may be considered equivalent to net settlement The

Group is considering the financial impact of the amendment

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transfer of Financial Assetsrsquo The amendment

introduces new quantitative disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets that are either fully derecognised

or derecognised not in their entirety The adoption of this amendment will affect the disclosures of the Grouprsquos financial

statements when the Group undertakes transfers of financial assets that fall within its scope

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The new disclosures which are similar to the new US GAAP disclosure requirements would provide users with

information that is useful in (i) evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entityrsquos financial

position and (ii) analysing and comparing financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs and US GAAP The

adoption of this amended standard will affect the disclosure of the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transition to IFRS 9rsquo The amendments provide relief

from the requirement to restate comparative financial statements which was originally available only to entities that

chose to apply HKFRS 9 prior to 2012 Instead additional transition disclosures will be required to help users to better

understand the effect of initial application of the standard

bull HKFRS 9 lsquoFinancial Instrumentsrsquo The first part of HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and will replace those

parts of HKAS 39 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets In November 2010 a further

pronouncement was published to address financial liabilities and derecognition Key features are as follows

(i) Classification and Measurement

Financial assets are required to be classified into one of the following measurement categories (1) those to be

measured subsequently at fair value or (2) those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost Classification is

to be made on transition and subsequently on initial recognition The classification depends on the entityrsquos

business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the

instrument

A financial instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instrument and the objective

of the entityrsquos business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows and the assetrsquos contractual

cash flows represent only unleveraged payments of principal and interest All other debt instruments are to be

measured at fair value through profit or loss

All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value Equity instruments that are held for trading will

be measured at fair value through profit or loss For all other equity investments an irrevocable election can be

made at initial recognition to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through other

comprehensive income rather than income statement Once elected to be recognised through other comprehensive

income there will be no reclassification of fair value gains and losses to income statement Dividends are to be

presented in income statement as long as they represent a return on investment

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

(ii) Financial Liabilities and Derecognition

Except for the two substantial changes described below the classification and measurement requirements of

financial liabilities have been basically carried forward with minimal amendments from HKAS 39 For the

derecognition principles they are consistent with that of HKAS 39

The requirements related to the fair value option for financial liabilities were changed to address own credit risk It

requires the amount of change in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial liabilities be

presented in other comprehensive income The remaining amount of the total gain or loss is included in income

statement If this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss then the whole fair value

change is presented in income statement The determination of whether there will be a mismatch will need to be

made at initial recognition of individual liabilities and will not be re-assessed Amounts presented in other

comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to income statement but may be transferred within equity

The standard eliminates the exception from fair value measurement contained in HKAS 39 for derivative liabilities

that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument

The mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 is deferred from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2015 with earlier adoption

still permitted The deferral will make it possible to have the same mandatory effective date for the entire standard

New transitional disclosures are required instead of comparative restatement The Group is considering the

financial impact of the standard and the timing of its application

bull HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial Statementsrsquo HKFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of

control as the determining factor when considering whether an entity should be included within the consolidated

financial statements of the parent company The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination

of control where this is difficult to assess It also replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation stipulated in

HKAS 27 (Revised) lsquoConsolidated and Separate Financial Statementsrsquo and HK(SIC)- Int 12 lsquoConsolidation ndash Special

Purpose Entitiesrsquo The remainder of HKAS 27 (Revised) is renamed HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo

as a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements without changing the existing guidance for separate

financial statements

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint Arrangementsrsquo Changes in the definitions stipulated in HKFRS 11 have reduced the lsquotypesrsquo of joint

arrangements to two joint operations and joint ventures A joint operation is a joint arrangement that gives parties to

the arrangement direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities The lsquojointly controlled assetsrsquo classification

in HKAS 31 lsquoInterests in Joint Venturesrsquo has been merged into joint operations as both types of arrangements

generally result in the same accounting outcome A joint venture in contrast gives the parties rights to the net assets

or outcome of the arrangement Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with HKAS 28

lsquoInvestments in Associatesrsquo which is renamed as HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo The

standard is amended to include the requirements of joint ventures accounting and to merge with the requirements of

HK(SIC)-Int 13 lsquoJointly Controlled Entities ndash Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturersrsquo After the application of HKAS

28 (2011) entities can no longer account for an interest in a joint venture using the proportionate consolidation method

bull HKFRS 12 lsquoDisclosure of Interests in Other Entitiesrsquo The standard sets out the required disclosures for entities

reporting under the two new standards HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 11 and the revised standard HKAS 28 (2011) The

existing guidance and disclosure requirements for separate financial statements stipulated in HKAS 27 (Revised) are

unchanged HKFRS 12 requires entities to disclose information that helps financial statements readers to evaluate the

nature risks and financial effects associated with the entityrsquos interests in subsidiaries associates joint arrangements

and unconsolidated structured entities

The above HKFRS 10 HKFRS 11 HKFRS 12 HKAS 27 (2011) and HKAS 28 (2011) issued in June 2011 are a group

of five new standards that address the scope of reporting entity and will supersede HKAS 27 (Revised) HKAS 28

HKAS 31 HK(SIC)-Int 12 and HK(SIC)-Int 13 Earlier application of these standards are permitted but only when they

are applied at the same time The Group is assessing the impact on the financial statements of the Group as a result

of the adoption of these new standards

bull HKFRS 13 lsquoFair Value Measurementrsquo The new standard which was issued in June 2011 replaces the fair value

measurement guidance contained in individual HKFRSs by providing a revised definition of fair value and a single

source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs The requirements do not

extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied when its use is already

required or permitted by other standards within HKFRSs The Group is assessing the impact on the financial

statements of the Group as a result of the adoption of this new standard

(c) Improvements to HKFRS

lsquoImprovements to HKFRSrsquo contains numerous amendments to HKFRS which the HKICPA considers not urgent but

necessary It comprises amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation recognition or measurement

purpose as well as terminology or editorial amendments related to a variety of individual HKFRS Most of the

amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 For amendments that are effective for

the financial year beginning on 1 January 2011 there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Group

Income Taxes 1 January 2012 Yes 2010

bull HKAS 12 (Amendment) lsquoIncome Taxesrsquo The standard which was revised in December 2010 is mandatorily effective

for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 Earlier application is permitted The Group considers that

the required treatment under the revised standard better reflects the tax position of the investment properties of the

Group and has early adopted the amended standard retrospectively since the year ended 31 December 2010

Upon early adoption deferred tax liabilities for the revaluation of investment properties have been calculated subject to

a nil tax rate

22 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank and all of its subsidiaries made up to

31 December

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group controls the composition of the board

of directors controls more than half of the voting power holds more than half of the issued capital or by any other means

that entitle the Group to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities The existence and effect of potential

voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls

another entity Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group They are de-

consolidated from the date that control ceases

21

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

22 Consolidation (continued)

Subsidiaries (continued)

For combination with a company under common control the merger accounting method will be applied The principle of

merger accounting is a way to combine companies under common control as though the business of the acquiree had

always been carried out by the acquirer The Grouprsquos consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated results

consolidated cash flows and consolidated financial position of the Group as if any such combination had occurred from

the date when the Bank and the acquiree first came under common control (ie no fair value adjustment on the date of

combination is required) The difference between the consideration and carrying amount at the time of combination is

recognised in other comprehensive income The effects of all transactions between the Group and the acquiree whether

occurring before or after the combination are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group

Comparative amounts are presented as if the acquiree had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period

The transaction costs for the combination will be expensed in the income statement

Inter-company transactions balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated

unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the assets transferred

Where necessary accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted

by the Group

In the Bankrsquos balance sheet the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses The

results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Bank on the basis of dividends received and receivable

23 Segmental reporting

The operating result of segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the

Management which is the chief operating decision maker of the Group that allocates resources and assesses the

performance of operating segments Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in

determining business segment performance

24 Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Grouprsquos entities are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which the entity operates (the ldquofunctional currencyrdquo) The consolidated financial statements are

presented in Hong Kong dollars which is the Bankrsquos functional and presentation currency

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions using the exchange

rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

translated at the rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period are recognised directly in the income statement

22

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

24 Foreign currency translation (continued)

Translation differences on monetary securities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as part of the fair value

gain or loss Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-

sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the securities and other

changes in the carrying amount of the securities Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are

recognised in the income statement and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive

income

Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as

part of the fair value gain or loss Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as

available-for-sale are included in the available-for-sale reserve in equity

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from Hong Kong dollars

are translated into Hong Kong dollars as follows

bull assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period

bull income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and

bull all resulting exchange differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity through other

comprehensive income

On consolidation exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of

borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments are taken to other comprehensive

income When a foreign entity is sold such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the

gain or loss on sale

25 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-

measured at fair value Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets including recent market

transactions and through the use of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models and options pricing

models as appropriate All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is

negative

The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (ie the fair value of the

consideration given or received)

23

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

25 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic

characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not carried at fair

value through profit or loss These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised

in the income statement

Derivatives are categorised as held for trading and changes in their fair value are recognised immediately in the income

statement unless they are designated as hedges and are effective hedging instruments then they are subject to

measurement under the hedge accounting requirements

26 Hedge accounting

The Group documents at inception the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk

management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions The Group also documents its

assessment both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis of whether the hedging instruments that are used in

hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of hedged items These criteria should be met

before a hedge can be qualified to be accounted for under hedge accounting

Net investment hedge

A gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and

accumulated in equity a gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement

Accumulated gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to income statement

upon disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss on disposal

27 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally

enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset

and settle the liability simultaneously

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognised in the income statement for all financial assets and financial liabilities using

the effective interest method

24

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of

allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period The effective interest rate is the rate that

exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or

when appropriate a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability When calculating

the effective interest rate the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial

instrument (eg prepayment options or incentives relating to residential mortgage loans) but does not consider future

credit losses The calculation includes fees premiums or discounts and basis points paid or received between parties to

the contract and directly attributable origination fees and costs which represent an integral part of the effective yield are

amortised as interest income or expense over the expected life of the financial instrument

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss

interest income is recognised on the written down value using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows

for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss Subsequent unwinding of the discount allowance is recognised as

interest income

Fee and commission income and expenses that are not an integral part of the effective yield are recognised on an accrual

basis ratably over the period when the related service is provided such as administrative fee asset management fee and

custody services fee Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the related syndication arrangement has

been completed and the Group has retained no part of the loan package for itself or has retained a part at the same

effective interest rate as that of other participants

29 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following four categories financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss loans and receivables held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale financial assets The Management

determines the classification of investments at initial recognition The classification depends on the purpose for which the

financial assets were held All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value Except for financial assets carried at

fair value through profit or loss all transaction costs of financial assets are included in their amortised costs

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through

profit or loss at inception

A financial asset which has been acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or is part of

a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent

actual pattern of short-term profit-taking is classified as held-for-trading Derivatives are also classified as held for

trading unless they are designated as effective hedges

29 Financial assets (continued)

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

A financial asset other than one held for trading will be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or

loss if it meets one of the criteria set out below and is so designated by the Management

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial assets or recognising the gains and

losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated on

a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information about

the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial assets containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial assets

These assets are recognised initially at fair value with transaction costs taken directly to the income statement and

are subsequently re-measured at fair value

Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such assets (excluding the interest component) are reported in net

trading gainloss or net gainloss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss The interest

component is reported as part of interest income Dividends on equity instruments of this category are also recognised

in net trading gainloss when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

(2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in

an active market including placements with and advances to banks and other financial institutions investment debt

securities without an active market and loans and advances to customers They arise when the Group provides money

goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable They are initially recorded at fair value

plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate method less allowances for impairment losses

26

29 Financial assets (continued)

(3) Held-to-maturity

Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are those traded in active markets with fixed or determinable payments

and fixed maturities that the Grouprsquos Management has both the positive intention and the ability to hold to maturity

Where the Group sold held-to-maturity assets (i) other than due to an isolated event beyond the Grouprsquos control non-

recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Group or (ii) other than an insignificant amount of

held-to-maturity assets the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale They are initially

recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less allowances for impairment losses

(4) Available-for-sale

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are those that are either designated as such or are not classified in any

of the other categories They are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to

needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates exchange rates or equity prices

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and

are subsequently measured at fair value Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of

investments are recognised directly in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is disposed of or impaired

at which time the accumulated gain or loss previously recognised in equity should be transferred to the income

statement However interest income which includes the amortisation of premium and discount is calculated using the

effective interest method and is recognised in the income statement Dividends on equity instruments classified as

available-for-sale are recognised in other operating income when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

The treatment of translation differences on available-for-sale securities is dealt with in Note 24

210 Financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities under the following categories trading liabilities financial liabilities designated

at fair value through profit or loss deposits and other liabilities All financial liabilities are classified at inception and

recognised initially at fair value

(1) Trading liabilities

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the

short term Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedges It is

measured at fair value and any gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

210 Financial liabilities (continued)

(2) Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability can be designated at fair value through profit or loss if it is so designated at inception A financial

liability is so designated if it meets one of the following criteria

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial liabilities or recognising the gains

and losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated

on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information

about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial liabilities containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial liabilities

Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and any gains and

losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

(3) Deposits and other liabilities

Deposits and other liabilities other than those classified as trading liabilities or designated at fair value through profit

or loss are carried at amortised cost Any difference (if available) between proceeds net of transaction costs and the

redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period using the effective interest method

211 Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder

for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a

contract between the holder and the debtor

Financial guarantees are initially recognised as financial liabilities and reported under ldquoOther accounts and provisionsrdquo in

the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given Subsequent to initial recognition the Grouprsquos

liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37

ldquoProvisions Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assetsrdquo and (ii) the amount initially recognised less where appropriate

accumulated amortisation recognised over the life of the guarantee on a straight-line basis Any changes in the liability

relating to financial guarantees are taken to the income statement

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

212 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss available-for-sale and held-to-maturity

securities are recognised on the trade date the date on which the Group purchases or sells the assets Loans and

receivables (except investment securities without an active market) are recognised when cash is advanced to the

borrowers Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have

expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership When the Group neither

transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset the Group either

continues to recognise the transferred financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement if control remains or

derecognise it if there is no retained control

Trading liabilities and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognised on the trade date

Deposits that are not trading liabilities are recognised when money is received from customers other liabilities are

recognised when such obligations arise Financial liabilities are de-recognised from the balance sheet when and only

when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged cancelled or expired

Securities and bills sold to a counter party with an obligation to repurchase at a pre-determined price on a specified

future date under a repurchase agreement are referred to as Repos Securities and bills purchased from a counter party

with an obligation to re-sell to the counter party at a pre-determined price on a specified future date under a resale

agreement are referred to as Reverse repos

Repos or securities lending are initially recorded as due to banks placements from banks and other financial institutions

as appropriate at the actual amount of cash received from the counter party Financial assets given as collateral for

repurchase agreements are not derecognised and are recorded as investment securities or financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss Reverse repos or securities borrowing are initially recorded in the balance sheet as cash and due

from banks or placements with banks and other financial institutions as appropriate at the actual amount of cash paid

to the counter party Financial assets received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements are not recognised on

the balance sheet The difference between sale and repurchase price is recognised as interest income or interest

expense over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method

213 Determination of fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are quoted in active markets are based on current bid

prices and current ask prices respectively If the market for financial assets and financial liabilities is not active (such as

unlisted securities) the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques These include the use of recent

armrsquos length transactions discounted cash flow analysis option pricing models and other valuation techniques

commonly used by market participants

214 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses as at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or

group of financial assets is impaired A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses

are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after

the initial recognition of the asset (a ldquoloss eventrdquo) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future

cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated Objective evidence that a

financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the

Group about the following probable loss events

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

(ii) a breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

(iii) the Group granting to the borrower for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty a

concession that the lender would not otherwise consider

(iv) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation

(v) the disappearance of an active market or downgrading below investment grade level for that financial asset

because of financial difficulties or

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of

financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the

individual financial assets in the group including

bull adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or

bull national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are

individually significant If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually

assessed financial asset it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and

collectively assesses them for impairment together with all other financial assets that are not individually significant

or for which impairment has not yet been identified Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for

which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment

30

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity securities has

been incurred the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assetrsquos carrying amount and the

present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted

at the financial assetrsquos original effective interest rate The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of

an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement If a loan or held-to-maturity

investment has a variable interest rate the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective

interest rate determined under the contract As a practical expedient the Group may measure impairment on the

basis of an instrumentrsquos fair value using an observable market price

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the

cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral

For the purposes of a collective assessment of impairment financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar and

relevant credit risk characteristics Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups

of such assets by being indicative of the debtorsrsquo ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of

the assets being evaluated

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the

basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets in the group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk

characteristics similar to those in the group Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable

data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is

based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently

When a loan is uncollectible it is written off against the related allowance for impairment losses Such loans are

written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of impairment losses in the income

statement

If in a subsequent period the amount of allowance for impairment losses decreases and the decrease can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised (such as an improvement in the

debtorrsquos credit rating) the previously recognised impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed by

adjusting the allowance account The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement

Loans whose terms have been renegotiated with substantial difference in the terms are no longer considered to be

past due but are treated as new loans

31

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(2) Assets classified as available-for-sale

If evidence of impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets the accumulated losses measured as the

difference between the acquisition cost or amortised cost and the current fair value less any impairment loss on that

financial asset previously recognised in the income statement is removed from equity and recognised in the income

statement In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale a significant or prolonged decline in the

fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired If in a

subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can

be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement the

impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed through the income statement With respect to equity

instruments further fair value changes are recognised in the reserve for fair value change of available-for-sale

securities through other comprehensive income impairment losses are not reversed through the income statement

215 Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and non-financial assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount

may not be recoverable Potential indications of impairment may include significant adverse changes in the

technological market economic or legal environment in which the assets operate or whether there has been a

significant or prolonged decline in value below their cost

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetrsquos carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount

The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell and value in use For the purposes of

assessing impairment assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows

(cash generating units) Assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each

reporting date

In the Bankrsquos financial statements impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is also required upon receiving

dividend from that entity if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of that entity concerned in the period

the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of that entity in the Banks balance sheet exceeds the carrying amount

of that entitys net assets including goodwill in its consolidated balance sheet

216 Investment properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that are not occupied by the

companies in the Group are classified as investment properties Properties leased out within Group companies are

classified as investment properties in individual companiesrsquo financial statements and as premises in consolidated

financial statements Land held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the

rest of the definition of investment property is met The operating lease is accounted for as if it is a finance lease

32

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

216 Investment properties (continued)

Investment properties are recognised initially at cost including related transaction costs After initial recognition

investment properties are measured at fair value assessed by professional valuers on the basis of open market value If

information of open market value is not available alternative valuation methods are used such as recent prices on less

active markets or discounted cash flow projections These valuations are performed in accordance with valuation

standards on properties published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the assetrsquos carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably The item is stated at

cost less impairment and is included in the carrying amount of investment properties Once the item begins to generate

economic benefits it is then measured at fair value All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the income

statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

Any changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income statement

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied it is reclassified as premises and its fair value at the date of

reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes If an item of premises becomes an investment property

because its use has changed any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the

date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income as a revaluation of premises under HKAS 16 ldquoProperty

Plant and Equipmentrdquo However if a fair value gain reverses a previous revaluation loss or impairment loss the gain is

recognised in the income statement up to the amount previously debited

217 Properties plant and equipment

Properties are mainly branch and office premises Premises are shown at fair value based on periodic at least annually

valuations by external independent valuers less subsequent accumulated depreciation Any accumulated depreciation at

the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the

revalued amount of the asset In the intervening periods the directors review the carrying amount of premises by

reference to the open market value of similar properties and adjustments are made when there has been a material

change

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment Historical cost

includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the items

Subsequent costs are included in an assetrsquos carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset as appropriate

only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the

item can be measured reliably The item is stated at cost until it begins to generate economic benefits then the item is

subsequently measured according to the measurement basis of its respective assets class All other repairs and

maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

33

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

217 Properties plant and equipment (continued)

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of premises are credited to the premises revaluation reserve

through other comprehensive income Decreases that offset previous increases of the same individual asset are

charged against premises revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income all other decreases are expensed

in the income statement Any subsequent increases are credited to the income statement up to the amount previously

debited and then to the premises revaluation reserve Upon disposal of premises the relevant portion of the premises

revaluation reserve realised in respect of previous valuations is released and transferred from the premises revaluation

reserve to retained earnings

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write down the cost or revalued amount of such assets over

their estimated useful lives as follows

bull Properties Over the life of government land leases

bull Plant and equipment 2-15 years

The useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate as at the end of each reporting period

At the end of each reporting period both internal and external sources of information are considered to determine

whether there is any indication that properties plant and equipmentare impaired If any such indication exists the

recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and where relevant an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset

to its recoverable amount Such impairment loss is recognised in the income statement except where the asset is

carried at valuation and the impairment loss does not exceed the revaluation surplus for that same asset in which case

it is treated as a revaluation decrease The recoverable amount is the higher of the assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell

and value in use Impairment loss is reversed through the premises revaluation reserve or income statement as

appropriate

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount relevant taxes and

expenses These are recognised in the income statement

34

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

218 Leases

(1) Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified

as operating leases The total payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)

are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired any payment required to be made to the

lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place Rental income

from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term

(2) Finance leases

Leases of assets where lessee have obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as

finance leases Government land leases in Hong Kong are classified as finance leases as market anticipates that the

leases can be extended for a nominal amount the risks and rewards of leasehold land would have already been

substantially transferred to the lessee as if it were freehold

Finance leases are capitalised at the leasersquos commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and

the present value of the minimum lease payments Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance

charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding The corresponding rental obligations

net of finance charges are included in other liabilities Investment properties acquired under finance leases are

carried at their fair value

When assets are leased out under a finance lease the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a

receivable Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using net investment method which reflects a

constant periodic rate of return

219 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with original

maturity less than three months from the date of acquisition including cash balances with banks and other financial

institutions short-term bills and notes classified as investment securities

220 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events it is

probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a

reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made

35

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

221 Employee benefits

(1) Retirement benefit costs

The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes under either recognised ORSO schemes or MPF

schemes that are available to the Grouprsquos employees Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees

are calculated as a percentage of employeesrsquo basic salaries for the ORSO schemes and in accordance with the MPF

rules for MPF schemes The retirement benefit scheme costs are charged to the income statement as incurred and

represent contributions payable by the Group to the schemes Contributions made by the Group that are forfeited by

those employees who leave the ORSO scheme prior to the full vesting of their entitlement to the contributions are

used by the Group to reduce the existing level of contributions or to meet its expenses under the trust deed of the

ORSO schemes

The assets of the schemes are held in independently-administered funds separate from those of the Group

(2) Leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and sick leave are recognised when they accrue to employees A provision is

made for the estimated liability for unused annual leave and the amount of sick leave expected to be paid as a result

of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period

Compensated absences other than sick leave and special approved annual leaves are non-accumulating they lapse

if the current periodrsquos entitlement is not used in full Except for unexpired annual leaves they do not entitle

employees to a cash payment for unused entitlement on leaving the Group Such compensated absences are

recognised when the absences occur

(3) Bonus plans

The expected cost of bonus payments are recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or

constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be

made Liabilities for bonus plans that are expected to be settled longer than twelve months will be recognised using

discounted cash flow method if the amounts are significant

222 Current and deferred income taxes

Tax expenses for the period comprises current and deferred tax Tax is recognised in the income statement except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income In this case the tax is also

recognised in other comprehensive income within the corresponding item

Income tax payable on profits based on the applicable tax law enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the

reporting period in each jurisdiction where the Bank and the subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income is

recognised as a current income tax expense in the period in which profits arise

36

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

222 Current and deferred income taxes (continued)

Deferred income tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences arising

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end

of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred

income tax liability is settled

The principal temporary differences arise from asset impairment provisions depreciation of premises and equipment

revaluation of certain assets including available-for-sale securities and premises and tax losses carried forward

However the deferred income tax is not recognised 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 income tax liabilities are provided in full on all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets

are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary

differences can be utilised

Deferred income tax is charged or credited in the income statement except for deferred income tax relating to fair value

re-measurement of available-for-sale securities and revaluation of premises which are charged or credited to other

comprehensive income in which case the deferred income tax is also credited or charged to other comprehensive

income and is subsequently recognised in the income statement together with the realisation of the deferred gain and

loss

Deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset arising from investment property is determined based on the presumption that

the revaluation amount of such investment property will be recovered through sale with the relevant tax rate applied

223 Repossessed assets

Repossessed assets are initially recognised at the lower of their fair value less costs to sell and the amortised cost of the

related outstanding loans on the date of repossession and the related loans and advances together with the related

impairment allowances are derecognised from the balance sheet Subsequently repossessed assets are measured at

the lower of their cost and fair values less costs to sell and are reported as lsquonon-current assets held for salersquo included in

lsquoOther assetsrsquo

224 Fiduciary activities

The Group commonly acts as a trustee or in other fiduciary capacities that result in its holding or managing assets on

behalf of individuals trusts and other institutions These assets and any gains or losses arising thereon are excluded

from these financial statements as they are not assets of the Group

37

225 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by

the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group It

can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow

of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably

A contingent liability is not recognised as a provision but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements When a

change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable it will then be recognised as a provision

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the

occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Group

Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of

economic benefits is probable When the inflow is virtually certain it will be recognised as an asset

226 Related parties

For the purposes of these financial statements a party is considered to be related to the Group if that party controls

jointly controls or has significant influence over the Group is a member of the same financial reporting group such as

parents subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries is an associate or a joint venture of the Group or parent reporting group is

a key management personnel of the Group or parents or where the Group and the party are subject to common control

Related parties may be individuals or entities

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next

financial year Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances Areas susceptible to

changes in essential estimates and judgements which affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are set out below

The effect of changes to either the key assumptions or other estimation uncertainties will be presented below if it is

practicable to determine It is possible that actual results may require material adjustments to the estimates referred to below

31 Impairment allowances on loans and advances

The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis In determining whether an

impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement the Group makes judgements as to whether there is any

observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans

and advances before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio This evidence may include

observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group (eg

payment delinquency or default) or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group The

Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective

evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when estimating expected future cash flows The methodology and

assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of loans and advances as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 23 to the Financial Statements

32 Impairment of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments

The Group reviews its held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment portfolios to assess impairment at least on a

quarterly basis In determining whether any of these investments is impaired risk characteristics and performance such

as external credit rating market price etc will be assessed The Group makes estimates on the default rate and loss

severity of each investment with reference to market performance of the portfolios current payment status of the issuers

or performance of the underlying assets or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the collateralised assets

The methodology and assumptions used for impairment assessments are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of investment in securities as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 25 to the Financial Statements

33 Fair values of derivative financial instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation

techniques Valuation techniques used include discounted cash flows analysis and models with built-in functions available

in externally acquired financial analysis or risk management systems widely used by the industry To the extent practical

the models use only observable data

39

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)

34 Held-to-maturity investments

The Group follows the guidance of HKAS 39 in classifying certain non-derivative financial assets with fixed or

determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity securities This classification requires significant

Management judgement to evaluate the Grouprsquos intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity If the Group

fails to hold these investments to maturity other than for specific circumstances defined in HKAS 39 such as selling an

insignificant amount selling close to maturity or due to significant credit deterioration of such investments it will be

required to reclassify the entire portfolio of financial assets as available-for-sale investments The investments would then

be measured at fair value and not amortised cost

4 Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risks as a result of engaging in a variety of business activities The principal financial risks

are credit risk market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk This note summarises the

Grouprsquos exposures to these risks as well as its objectives policies and procedures for managing and the methods used to

measure these risks

Financial risk management framework

The Grouprsquos risk management governance structure is designed to cover all business processes and ensure various risks

are properly managed and controlled in the course of conducting business The Group has a sound risk management

organisational structure with a comprehensive set of policies and procedures to identify measure monitor and control

various risks that may arise These risk management policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and modified to reflect

changes in markets and business strategies

The Board of Directors representing the interests of shareholders is the highest decision making authority of the Group

and has the ultimate responsibility for risk management The Board with the assistance of the Risk Management

Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) has the primary responsibility for formulating risk management strategies and ensuring that the Group

has an effective risk management system to implement these strategies

The RMC a standing committee established by the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Grouprsquos various

types of risks reviewing and approving high-level risk-related policies and overseeing their implementation reviewing and

approving significant or high risk exposures or transactions and exercising its power of veto if it considers that the

transactions should not proceed

41

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) 4 Financial risk management (continued)

Financial risk management framework (continued)

The Group has put in place appropriate internal control systems including establishment of an organisation structure that

sets adequately clear lines of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with policies procedures and limits

Proper reporting lines also provide sufficient independence of the control functions from the business areas as well as

adequate segregation of duties throughout the organisation which helps to promote an appropriate internal control

environment

Pursuant to a risk-based approach the Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on areas including principal

risks regulatory compliance adequacy and effectiveness of risk policies and internal control systems operations and

activities

Product development

To ensure effective risk assessment and monitoring the Group developed a comprehensive product development and

management framework which clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of all related units and the proper risk

assessment procedures for the product development process

In accordance with the strategic objectives set by the Management the respective product management units are

responsible for formulating business and product development plans and the division of strategic development shall ensure

the plans are aligned with the Grouprsquos overall strategies Divisions that are responsible for risk management legal

compliance and finance etc are accountable for reviewing the relevant risk assessment results

Apart from product development the respective business units identify and assess all the related risks Risk evaluating

divisions shall conduct independent review on risk management procedures and assessment results Products can only be

launched after the risk management procedures are fulfilled and endorsed by all risk evaluating divisions

In order to be prudent in offering treasury products to our clients all treasury products regardless brand new or modified

require approval from the Management or the special committee before launching

41 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that a customer or counterparty will be unable to or unwilling to meet its contractual

obligations Credit risk exists in the trading book and banking book on- and off-balance sheet exposures of a bank It

arises principally from lending trade finance treasury businesses and covers inter-bank transactions foreign exchange

and derivative transactions as well as investments in bonds and securities

Credit risk management framework

The Group has formulated a comprehensive set of credit risk management policies and procedures and appropriate

credit risk limits to manage and control credit risk that may arise These policies procedures and credit risk limits are

regularly reviewed to cope with changes in risk market conditions and business strategies

42

41 Credit Risk (continued)

Credit risk management framework (continued)

The Grouprsquos organisation structure establishes a clear set of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with

policies procedures and limits

The Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) a management committee chaired by the Chief Executive

(ldquoCErdquo) is responsible for the implementation of the credit risk management strategies as well as the approval of credit

policies It also monitors various aspects of the Grouprsquos loan portfolio such as asset quality risk concentration etc

Various units of the Group have their respective credit risk management responsibilities Business units act as the first

line of defense They are obliged to make thorough assessment on every credit application and are fully responsible for

monitoring credit performance and punctual repayments The business activities conducted should also comply with the

credit policies and procedures The risk management units which are independent from the business units have the

primary responsibilities for providing an independent due diligence and identifying measuring monitoring and

controlling credit risk They report directly to the CLMC RMC and CE

The Board of Directors is the ultimate source of credit authority The Board of Directors delegates credit approval

authority to the CE The CE can further delegate to the subordinates within the limit authorized by the Board of Directors

The Group sets the limits of credit approval authority according to business nature rating the level of transaction risk

and the extent of the credit exposure

Credit risk measurement and control

In view of the rapidly changing market conditions the Group has been continuously revisiting its credit strategies and

conducting rigorous reviews on the concerned portfolios

Loans and advances

Different credit approval and control procedures are adopted according to level of risk associated with the customer

counterparty or transaction All credit applications are subject to thorough risk assessment and proper approval In

general most of the credit applications will be reviewed and assessed by independent officer(s) of risk management

unit(s) before approval with exceptions given to certain designated products which satisfy certain conditions These

designated loans will be (randomly) reviewed by designated unit(s) which is(are) independent from the front line

business units after funding being drawn Corporate and financial institution credit applications are independently

reviewed and objectively assessed by risk management units Obligor ratings and facility grades are assigned to these

portfolios Retail internal ratings systems are used in risk assessment of retail credit transactions including small

business retail exposures residential mortgage loans and personal loans Loan grades obligor ratings as well as loss

estimates (if applicable) are used to support credit approval

The Group also uses loan grades obligor ratings and loss estimates (if applicable) to support credit monitoring analysis

and reporting For corporate and financial institution more frequent rating review and closer monitoring are required for

riskier customers For retail exposures monthly updated ratings and loss estimates are used for credit monitoring on a

portfolio basis More comprehensive review is required for obligors being identified under high-risk pools

The Group has established credit master scale for internal rating purpose which is in compliance with the Banking

(Capital) Rules on rating structure and can be mapped to Standard amp Poorrsquos external ratings

In addition to obligor ratings the Group adopts a facility rating system (in the case of corporate and bank exposure) and

expected loss (in the case of retail exposures) to assess the risk in the facility structure during credit approval This two-

dimensional rating approach to evaluate credit risk complies with the HKMArsquos requirements on IRB

Regular credit management information reports and ad hoc reports are provided to the Management RMC and Board

of Directors to facilitate their continuous monitoring of credit risk

The Group identifies credit concentration risk by industry geography customer and counterparty risk The Group

monitors changes to counterparties credit risk quality of the credit portfolio and risk concentrations and reports

regularly to the Management

The Group continues to adopt loan grading criteria which divides credit assets into 5 categories with reference to

HKMArsquos guidelines

ldquoPassrdquo represents loans where the borrower is current in meeting its repayment obligations and full repayment of

interest and principal is not in doubt

ldquoSpecial Mentionrdquo represents loans where the borrowers are experiencing difficulties which may threaten the Grouprsquos

position Ultimate loss is not expected at this stage but could occur if adverse conditions persist

ldquoSubstandardrdquo represents loans where the borrower displays a definable weakness that is likely to jeopardise

repayment

ldquoDoubtfulrdquo represents loans where collection in full is improbable and the Group expects to sustain a loss of principal

andor interest taking into account the net realisable value of the collateral

ldquoLossrdquo represents loans which are considered uncollectible after all collection options (such as the realisation of

collateral or the institution of legal proceedings) have been exhausted

Debt securities and derivatives

For investments in debt securities and securitisation assets the obligor ratings or external credit ratings assessment of

the underlying assets and credit limits setting on customersecurity issuer basis are used for managing credit risk

associated with the investment For derivatives the Group sets customer limits to manage the credit risk involved and

follows the same approval and control processes as loans and advances On-going monitoring and stop-loss

procedures are established

Settlement risk arises mainly from foreign exchange transactions with counterparties and also from derivatives in any

situation where a payment in cash securities or equities is made in the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash

securities or equities Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to cover all settlement risk arising

from the Grouprsquos transactions on any single day

Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements

The valuation and management of collateral have been documented in the policy covering acceptance criteria validity

of collateral loan-to-value ratio haircut ratio valuation and insurance etc The collateral is revalued on a regular basis

though the frequency and the method used varies with the type of collateral involved and the nature and the risk of the

underlying credit The Group has established a mechanism to update the value of its main type of collateral real estate

properties with the use of public indices on a portfolio basis Collateral is insured with the Group as the beneficiary

For loans guaranteed by a third party the Group will assess the guarantorrsquos financial condition credit history and ability

to meet obligations

As at 31 December 2011 and 2010 the Group did not hold any collateral permitted to sell or re-pledge in the absence of

default by the borrower

(A) Credit exposures

The maximum exposure is a worst case scenario of credit risk exposure to the Group without taking account of any

collateral held or other credit enhancements For on-balance sheet assets the maximum exposure to credit risk

equals their carrying amount For letters of guarantee issued the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum

amount that the Group could be required to pay if the guarantees are called upon For loan commitment and other

credit related liabilities the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities

The nature of the collateral held and other credit enhancements and their financial effect to the different classes of

the Grouprsquos financial assets are as follows

Balances and placements with banks and other financial institutions

These exposures are generally considered to be low risk due to the nature of the counterparties Collateral is

generally not sought on these assets

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and investment in securities

Collateral is generally not sought on debt securities

Derivative financial instruments

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement is the preferred agreement for documenting

derivatives activities of the Group It provides the contractual framework within which dealing activities across a full

range of OTC products are conducted and contractually bind both parties to apply close-out netting across all

outstanding transactions covered by an agreement if either party defaults or another pre-agreed termination event

occurs

Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and commitments

The general types of collateral are disclosed on page 45 Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and

commitments are collateralised to the extent considered appropriate by the Group taking account of the risk

assessment of individual exposures The collateral coverage of advances to customers is analysed on pages 58 to

61 The components and nature of contingent liabilities and commitments are disclosed in Note 38 Regarding the

commitments that are unconditionally cancellable without prior notice the Group would assess the necessity to

withdraw the credit line in case where the credit quality of a borrower deteriorates Accordingly these commitments

do not expose the Group to significant credit risk

Advances with a specific repayment date are classified as overdue when the principal or interest is past due and

remains unpaid Advances repayable by regular instalments are classified as overdue when an instalment payment

is past due and remains unpaid Advances repayable on demand are classified as overdue either when a demand for

repayment has been served on the borrower but repayment has not been made in accordance with the instruction or

when the advances have remained continuously outside the approved limit that was advised to the borrower

A financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of

impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated

future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated

(B) Gross advances and other accounts (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as

the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the

financial asset Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes observable data that comes to the

attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include

- Significant financial difficulty incurred by the borrower

- A breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

- For economic or legal reasons related to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty the Group has granted to the borrower a

concession that it would not otherwise consider

- Probable that the borrower will become bankrupt or undergo other financial reorganisation or

- Other observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such

loans and advances

Sensitivity analysis to foreign exchange risk exposure (Non Structural)

At 31 December 2011 the majority of the net positions of the Group and the Bank were denominated in US dollar

and Renminbi therefore the Group and the Bank do not expose to significant foreign exchange risk other than US

dollar and Renminbi If US dollar and Renminbi exchange rate had changed by 1 with other variables held

constant profit after tax for the year of the Group and the Bank would have been changed by HK$7705000 (2010

HK$1007000) and HK$7026000 (2010 HK$481000) respectively

(B) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk means the risks to a bankrsquos earnings and economic value arising from adverse movements in

interest rate and term structures of the bankrsquos asset and liability positions The Grouprsquos interest rate risk exposures

are mainly structural The major types of interest rate risk from structural positions are

- Repricing risk - mismatches in the maturity or repricing periods of assets and liabilities

- Basis risk - different pricing basis for different transactions so that the yield on assets and cost of liabilities may

change by different amounts within the same repricing period

- Yield curve risk - non-parallel shifts in the yield curve that may have an adverse impact on net interest income or

economic value

- Option risk - exercise of the options embedded in assets liabilities or off-balance sheet items that can cause a

change in the cashflows of assets and liabilities

The Group has formulated ldquoInterest Rate Risk Management Policiesrdquo which set out the framework and methodologies

to identify measure monitor and control interest rate risk

Both the members of the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ldquoALCOrdquo) and RMC are responsible for interest

rate risk management ALCO maintains oversight of interest rate risk and RMC sanctions the interest rate risk

management policies formulated by ALCO The interest rate risk is identified and measured on a weekly basis The

Finance Department manages the interest rate risk according to the established policies and assigns the Financial

Management Division to monitor the related risks closely and to report the results to ALCO regularly

Gap analysis is one of the tools used to measure the Grouprsquos exposure to repricing risk This provides the Group with

a static view of the maturity and repricing characteristics of its balance sheet positions The Group uses interest rate

derivatives to hedge its interest rate exposures and in most cases plain vanilla interest rate swaps are used

42 Market Risk (continued)

(B) Interest rate risk (continued)

Sensitivities of net interest income and economic value to interest rate changes are assessed through a hypothetical

interest rate shock of 200 basis points across the yield curve on both sides Sensitivity of net interest income is

controlled within an approved percentage of the projected net interest income for the year whereas sensitivity of

economic value is confined to a percentage of the latest capital base both measures are sanctioned by RMC The

results are reported to ALCO and RMC on a regular basis

The impact of basis risk is gauged by the projected change in net interest income under scenarios of imperfect

correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different instruments

Stress test on yield curve risk is performed to assess the impact on economic value due to the steepening or

flattening of the yield curve The impact of options embedded in demand and savings deposits and prepayment of

mortgage loans is also assessed under different stress test scenarios

The interest rate risk exposures in the Group are controlled through the use of limits

1 Net Interest Income sensitivity ratio

2 Economic Value sensitivity ratio

3 Repricing Mismatch Gap limits

Before launching a new product or business the relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying interest rate risk and consideration of the adequacy of current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on interest rate risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

Sensitivity analysis to market risk exposure of banking book of the Group

The Group is principally exposed to HKD USD and RMB in terms of interest rate risk The following example

illustrates how the Grouprsquos stress test is performed As at 31 December 2011 if HKD USD and RMB market interest

rates had been 100 basis points higher with other variables held constant the impacts on net interest income over

the next twelve months and on reserves for the Group and the Bank would have been as follows

Impact on net interest income over the next

twelve months at 31 December Impact on reserves

at 31 December The Group The Bank The Group The Bank 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010Scenarios HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000Up 100 basis points parallel shift in HK dollar yield curves 173383 159088 153181 138206 (37656) (44830) (37656) (44830) Up 100 basis points parallel shift in US dollar yield curves (55874) (87748) (52696) (81833) (128679) (156064) (128679) (156064) Up 100 basis points parallel shift in Renminbi yield curves 68429 117098 7232 37019 (125726) (18817) (62236) (9455)

The overall positive impact (HKD USD and RMB combined) on net interest income is similar to 2010 The increase

in positive earnings impact of HKD and USD is met by the fall in RMB Reserves would have been reduced

because of the expected reduction in valuation of available-for-sale portfolio due to the above simulated market

rates movement The reduction of reserves is larger compared with 2010 because the size and duration of

available-for-sale portfolio is increased

To construct stressful scenarios severe assumptions are made including a change in the correlation between HK

dollar and US dollar interest rates parallel movement of interest rates for the banking book positions of all repricing

or maturity dates In the absence of actions that would be taken to mitigate the impact of interest rates shock all

positions are assumed to run to maturity and reprice or mature simultaneously within a given time band

43 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to fund increases in assets meet obligations as they fall due or

take strategic opportunity without incurring unacceptable losses

Liquidity risk management framework

The liquidity risk management framework of the Group comprises three levels The Board of Directors and the RMC

are the ultimate decision making authority and are responsible for the compliance with regulatory requirements

Formulation of the risk management procedures and implementation mechanism and monitoring of the compliance are

mainly responsible by the ALCO Daily management of liquidity is carried out by the Treasury Management Sub-

Committee and the Treasury Division while the Financial Management Division monitors the liquidity risk and provides

regular reports to the Management and local regulatory bodies

The liquidity management process is carried out both at the Group and subsidiary level The principal subsidiaries

execute their daily risk management processes independently subject to risk policies that are consistent with those of

the Group and report to the Grouprsquos Management on a regular basis

The Group has developed a robust liquidity risk management mechanism by maintaining an appropriate size of highly-

liquefiable assets and proper liability structure enabling the Group to meet even under adverse market conditions all

its obligations as they fall due and to fund all its asset growth and strategic opportunities without forced liquidation of

its assets at short notice

At present the Group has set up Key Risk Indicators such as 1-month liquidity ratio and loan-to-deposit ratio The

indicators are used as the major tools in the identification measurement monitoring and control of the liquidity risk on

regular basis by setting limits assessing and monitoring the ratios Besides the Group also monitors deposit stability

concentration of deposits from large depositors and liquidity profile of the investment portfolio

Liquidity risk management framework (continued)

The related risk management process includes

- Perform cash-flow projections under normal and stressed scenarios using the net mismatch gap between assets and

liabilities to estimate the prospective net funding requirements

- Maintain strong liquidity ratios to comply with both internal and external regulatory requirements

- Maintain a diversified liability base to ensure sufficient funding sources

- Maintain a proper level of highly liquid assets to serve as a liquidity buffer for emergency needs

- Monitor the structure and stability of the deposit portfolio

- Assess the ability to borrow from the inter-bank money market to avoid over-reliance on the money market for funding

- Maintain a proper contingency plan which includes setting early warning signals (including internal indicators and

market indicators) with timely monitoring procedures and establishing a management reporting system and

contingency procedures

Before launching a new product or business relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying liquidity risk and consideration of the adequacy of the current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on liquidity risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

44 Capital Management

The major objective of the Grouprsquos capital management is to maximise total shareholdersrsquo return while maintaining a

capital adequacy position in relation to the Grouprsquos overall risk profile The Group periodically reviews its capital

structure and adjusts the capital mix where appropriate to achieve the required rate of return on capital

The Group has developed and maintained a sound framework of policies and controls on capital management to

support the development of the Grouprsquos business and to meet the statutory capital adequacy ratio ALCO monitors the

Grouprsquos capital adequacy The Group has complied with all the statutory capital standards for all the periods

In prior years the Group adopted the STC approach to calculate credit risk capital charge With the HKMA approval

from 1 January 2011 the Group has migrated to the FIRB approach to calculate the credit risk capital charge for the

majority of its non-securitisation exposures and internal ratings-based (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit

risk capital charge for its securitisation exposures A small residual credit exposures was approved by HKMA to be

exempted from FIRB approach and remained under STC approach

The Group continues to adopt the standardize approach to calculate the capital charges on market risk and operational

risk under Pillar One in compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules in year 2011

In compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules this regulatory capital framework aligns regulatory capital requirements

more closely with the inherent risks Following announcement of the Basel III regulations by Basel Committee the

Group has analyzed the possible impact of the new capital requirements to ensure that the Group plans ahead for the

transition of for the implementation of the new regulations

The Group has established an ICAAP Through this process each material risk associated with the Grouprsquos main

activities is assessed by pre-defined assessment models and a comprehensive judgment of the overall risk profile is

decided subsequently by taking into account the Grouprsquos governance structure risk management quality internal

control environment and capital strength Finally the minimum CAR is derived through the procedures to relate the

Grouprsquos overall risk profile to its capital adequacy The minimum CAR aims to cover the various material risks

undertaken by the Group The Group considers this ICAAP process as an on-going process for capital management

and periodically reviews and adjusts its capital structure in relation to the overall risk profile

In addition the annual capital plan of the Group is drawn up and discussed by the ALCO and submitted to the Board for

approval The plan is built up by assessing the impacts by various factors upon CAR such as the business strategies

return on equity risk appetite credit rating as well as regulatory requirements and based on this study to derive our

future capital demand and the way to obtain the capital sources The plan is to ensure the Grouprsquos capital adequacy

and achieve optimal capital structure in order to align with our business development and risk profile

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

(A) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information

about various financial instruments The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair

value of each class of financial instrument as far as practicable

Balances with banks and other financial institutions and Trade bills

The maturities of these financial assets and liabilities are within one year and the carrying value approximates fair

value

Advances to customers banks and other financial institutions

Substantially all the advances to customers banks and other financial institutions are on floating rate terms bear

interest at prevailing market interest rates Their carrying value approximates fair value

Held-to-maturity securities

Fair value for held-to-maturity securities is based on market prices or brokerdealer price quotations Where this

information is not available fair value has been estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar

credit maturity and yield characteristics Their carrying value approximates fair value

Loans and receivables

A discounted cash flow model is used based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity

and their carrying value approximates fair value

Deposits from customers Substantially all the deposits from customers mature within one year from the balance sheet date and their carrying

value approximates fair value

108

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(B) Financial instruments measured at fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into following three levels

ndash Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including certain foreign

exchange derivative contracts

ndash Level 2 Valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for

the asset or liability either directly or indirectly This level includes the majority of the OTC derivative contracts

debt securities with quote from pricing services providers

ndash Level 3 Valuation technique using inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data

(unobservable inputs) This level includes equity investment and debt instruments with significant unobservable

components

The Group uses valuation techniques or brokerdealer quotations to determine the fair value of financial

instruments when unable to obtain the open market quotation in active markets

The main parameters used in valuation techniques for financial instruments held by the Group include bond prices

interest rates foreign exchange rates equity and stock prices volatilities counterparty credit spreads and others

which are all observable and obtainable from open market

For certain illiquid debt securities and unlisted private equity held by the Group Management obtains valuation

quotations from counterparties The fair value of these financial instruments may be based on unobservable inputs

which may have significant impact on the valuation of these financial instruments and therefore these instruments

have been classified by the Group as level 3 The Group has established internal control procedures to control the

Grouprsquos exposure to such financial instruments

22 Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into the following exchange rate interest rate and precious metal related derivative financial instrument

contracts for trading and risk management purposes

Currency forwards represent commitments to purchase and sell foreign currency on a future date

Currency and interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another Swaps result in an

exchange of currencies interest rates (for example fixed rate for floating rate) or a combination of all these (for example

cross-currency interest rate swaps) Except for certain currency swap contracts no exchange of principal takes place

Foreign currency options are contractual agreements under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right

but not the obligation either to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) at or by a set date or during a set period a specific

amount of the financial instrument at a predetermined price In consideration for the assumption of foreign exchange and

interest rate risk the seller receives a premium from the purchaser Options are negotiated over-the-counter (ldquoOTCrdquo)

between the Group and its counterparty

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the

following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the

balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the

consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the

current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The

derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign

exchange rates market interest rates or metal prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial

instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

125

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

41 Litigation

The Group is currently being served a number of claims and counterclaims by various independent parties These claims

and counterclaims are in relation to the normal commercial activities of the Group

No material provision was made against these claims and counterclaims because the directors believe that the Group has

meritorious defences against the claimants or the amounts involved in these claims are not expected to be material

42 Segmental reporting

(a) By class of business

The Group has changed the charge on inter-segment funding from the corresponding money market rates to money

market rates adjusted with pre-determined margins this year These margins reflect differentiation based on product

features Meanwhile corporate bonds were reclassified from Corporate Banking to Treasury to align with the

corresponding change in the product management No change has been made to the comparative figures However if

the same mechanismclassification were applied for last year it is estimated that the net interest income of Personal

Banking Corporate Banking and Treasury would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$

+227219000 -302924000 and +75705000 respectively Moreover a net trading loss of HK$124141000 and a

net gain of HK$40617000 on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss which were

generated from corporate bonds would be shifted from Corporate Banking to Treasury

The Group divides its business into four classes Personal Banking Corporate Banking Treasury and Investment

Both Personal Banking business and Corporate Banking business provide general banking services Personal

Banking serves individual customers while Corporate Banking deals with non-individual customers The Treasury

segment is responsible for managing the capital liquidity and the interest rate and foreign exchange positions of the

Group in addition to proprietary trades It provides funds to other business segments and receives funds from deposit

taking activities of Personal Banking and Corporate Banking These inter-segment funding is charged according to the

internal funds transfer pricing mechanism of the Group The assets and liabilities of Treasury have not been adjusted

to reflect the effect of inter-segment borrowing and lending (ie the profit and loss information in relation to Treasury is

not comparable to the assets and liabilities information about Treasury)

Investment includes bank premises and equipment used by supporting units Charges are paid to this segment from

other business segments based on market rates per square foot for their occupation of the Grouprsquos premises The

exchange difference arising from capital of our subsidiary Nanyang Commercial Bank (China) Limited is recognised

in its income statement is also included in this class

ldquoOthersrdquo refers to other group operations and mainly comprises of items related to the Group as a whole and totally

independent of the other four business segments

Revenues and expenses of any business segment mainly include items directly attributable to the segment For

management overheads allocations are made on reasonable bases In this year a more detailed and comprehensive

cost allocation mechanism was adopted No change has been made to the comparative figures However if the same

mechanism were applied for last year it is estimated that the operating expenses of Personal Banking Corporate

Banking Treasury investment and Others would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$ -

101583000 +106943000 +99348000 -59328000 and -45380000 respectively

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach

31 The internal rating systems and risk components

The Group adopts the FIRB approach to calculate the regulatory capital requirements for most of the corporate and bank

exposures and adopts the supervisory slotting criteria approach to project finance exposures under specialised lending

Other items Specific Risk-weight Approach

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

The internal rating system is a two dimensional rating system that provides separate assessment of borrower and

transaction characteristics For corporate and bank portfolios the obligor rating reflects exclusively the risk of borrower

default and the facility rating reflects transaction specific factors that affect the loss severity in the case of borrower

default Expected Losses are also calculated in the retail IRB portfolios to reflect the risk of loss in credit decisions

All the corporate and bank borrowers are assigned into eight broad obligor ratings including seven grades for non-

defaulted obligors with sub-divisions into 26 minor credit grades and one grade for defaulted obligors All credit

transactions for corporates and banks are assigned into 21 facility grades In the supervisory slotting criteria approach

for the project finance exposures there are four grades for non-defaulted borrowers and one for defaulted borrowers in

accordance with the HKMA guidance

The Group uses internal rating system to assess the borrowers likelihood of default for all IRB portfolios PD is

measured to reflect the risk of borrower default over a one-year period A borrower rating means a category of credit-

worthiness to which borrowers are assigned on the basis of a specified and distinct set of rating criteria from which

estimates of PD are derived

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (continued)

31 The internal rating systems and risk components (continued)

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

(continued)

In the process of obligor rating assignment variables of latest financial performance management quality industry

risks and group connection of each obligor are assessed as critical factors to predict borrowers ability and willingness

to meet with the contractually obligations under different economic conditions The internal rating tools employ

statistical and analytical techniques for the final rating assignment

The Group adopted statistical models to provide own estimated PD LGD and EAD for exposures arising from

residential mortgages to both individuals and property-holding shell companies qualifying revolving retail exposures

and other retail exposures to individuals and small business retail exposures The PD reflects the risk of borrower

default over a one-year period while the EAD and LGD estimates reflect the loss severity of its credit exposures Each

of retail exposures is pooled by nature of obligors facility types collateral types and delinquency status This grouping

process provides the basis of accurate and consistent estimation for PD LGD and EAD at the pool level

For each internal rating the equivalent external rating in terms of default risk is as below

(B) Use of internal estimates

The estimates of risk components derived from internal rating models are not only used in the calculation of regulatory

capital but also in many other areas including credit approval credit monitoring reporting and analysis of credit risk

information etc

(C) Process of managing and recognising credit risk mitigation

For those collaterals recognised under capital management the Group has well-defined policies and procedures for

collateral valuation and management which are compliant with the operational requirements for recognised collateral

for credit risk mitigation as stated in the Banking (Capital) Rules

For credit exposures adopting FIRB approach for capital calculation purpose the recognised eligible guarantees

include the guarantees provided by banks and securities firms with a lower risk weights than the counterparty and

corporate with internal credit ratings which is equivalent to external credit rating A- or above The Group takes into

account the credit risk mitigation effect of recognised collaterals through its determination of the net credit exposures

and the effective LGD

For retail IRB approach the effect of the credit risk mitigation is incorporated into the internal risk parameters of PD or

LGD depending on the nature of the guarantees and collaterals for calculating the risk exposures

The credit and market risk concentrations within the credit risk mitigation (recognised collateral and guarantees for

capital calculation) used by the Group are under a low level

Up to the date of report the Group has not used any recognised credit derivative contracts on- or off-balance sheet

recognised netting for credit risk mitigation yet

(D) The control mechanisms used for internal rating systems

The Group has established a comprehensive mechanism to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the

rating systems including the estimation processes for the risk components

All of IRB risk measurement models are approved by the Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) and

Risk Management Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) of the Board

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (continued)

31 The internal ratings system and risk components (continued)

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

To achieve reasonably accurate risk ratings assignment the Group has established the rating approval process which

is independent from the sales and marketing units Since the internal ratings is one of the key inputs to the making of

credit decisions a control mechanism is in place to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the rating

assignment For the wholesale (corporate and banks) portfolio internal ratings are normally approved by credit officers

who are functionally separated from sales and marketing units In some cases where the transactions are small

amount or low risk ratings can be assigned and approved by staff within sales and marketing activities subject to post-

approval review by credit risk management unit

The rating assignment and risk quantification process of retail portfolio is highly automated As an integral part of the

daily credit assessment process the accuracy and completeness of the data input for automatic rating assignment is

verified by units independent from business development function

The performance of internal ratings system is under ongoing periodic monitoring The senior management periodically

reviews the performance and predictive ability of the internal rating system The effectiveness of the internal rating

system and processes are reviewed by independent control functions (including model validation unit) and internal

audit The results of the review are reported to the Board and senior management regularly

A model validation team which is independent from the model development unit and rating assignment units conducts

periodic model validations Model acceptance standards are established to ensure the discriminatory power accuracy

and stability of the rating systems Reviews of rating models are triggered if the performance of a model deteriorates

materially against predetermined tolerant limits

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

The obligor rating assignment is reviewed at least annually as required by the Grouprsquos credit risk policy When credit

events occur to the obligor rating review is triggered promptly in accordance with the Grouprsquos credit risk policy

Rating override process is designed to allow the credit analyst to include any other relevant credit information that has

conservatism and prudential consideration Overrides to better grades (upgrades) are however more confined All

upgrades will be limited to a maximum of two sub-grades with a pre-defined list of appropriate reasons All overrides

It should be noted that actual loss and expected loss are measured and calculated using different methodologies which

compliant to relevant regulatory and accounting standards which are therefore not directly comparable The limitation

arises mainly from the fundamental differences in the definition of ldquolossrdquo The expected loss under Basel II which estimates

the economic loss arising from the potential default of the obligor by taking into account the time value of money and

including the direct and indirect costs associated with the recoveries on the credit exposures while actual loss is the net

individually assessed impairment charges and write-offs made during the year in accordance with the accounting

standards

The actual default rate (actual PD) is measured by using the number of obligors (for wholesale exposures) or number of

accounts (for retail exposures) defaulted whereas the estimated probability of default (estimated PD) is the long run

average default rate over an economic cycle and is the estimated one-year forward-looking PD estimated from the

beginning of the reporting period

Hence actual PD in a particular year (ldquopoint-in-timerdquo) will typically differ from the estimated PD which is the ldquothrough-the-

cyclerdquo estimate as economies move above or below the cyclical norms

The estimated PD is more conservative than the actual default rate for most asset classes

4 Credit risk under the standardised (credit risk) approach

41 Ratings from External Credit Assessment Institutions (ldquoECAIrdquo)

The ECAIs recognised by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch The Group continues to adopt STC

approach based on external ratings to determine the risk weight of the following asset classes of exposures

- Sovereign

- Public sector entity

- Multilateral development bank

The Group performs the ECAI issuer ratings mapping to its exposures in the banking book in accordance with Part 4 of

the Banking (Capital) Rules

42 Credit risk mitigation

For credit exposures adopting STC approach the main types of recognised collaterals include cash deposits debt

securities and shares for non past-due exposures In addition real estate collateral is also recognised for past due

exposures Those collaterals taken by the Group are compliant with the comprehensive approach in its treatment of

recognised collateral for credit risk mitigation in capital calculation as mentioned in the Banking (Capital) Rules For credit

exposures under STC approach the recognised guarantees for capital calculation include the guarantee given by

sovereigns public sector entities multilateral development banks with a lower risk weight than the counterparty and

corporate with external rating of A- or above

5 Counterparty credit risk-related exposures

The Grouprsquos counterparty credit risk arising from OTC derivative transactions repo-style transactions both in trading and

banking book is subject to the same risk management framework as mentioned in Note 4 to the Financial Statements The

Group establishes credit limit through formal credit approval procedures to control the pre-settlement credit risk arising from

OTC derivatives transactions and settlement limit to control the settlement risk arising from foreign exchange-related

transactions in both the trading book and banking book The Group monitors the risk exposure due to fluctuations in the

market by using the current exposure and the potential exposure value of the transactions Exceptions or excesses are timely

and closely identified and monitored by credit risk management units

Currently the Group uses the Current Exposure Method to measure and monitor the counterparty credit exposures which

comprises current exposures and potential future exposures

The Group establishes prudent eligibility criteria and haircut policy of debt securities being pledged as collateral for repo-style

transactions

The Group formulates policy for classification of credit assets according to the PD of individual counterparty and the period of

overdue If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred impairment allowance will be provided

according to HKFRS and regulatory requirements

6 Assets securitisation

The Group has not acted as an originating institution for the issuance of securitisation transactions business during the year

Securitisation exposures arise from the Grouprsquos investing activities and the related exposures are commercial mortgage loans

As an investing institution the Group has adopted the IRB approach to calculate the credit risk for asset securitisations in 2011

In prior years the Group adopted the standardised (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit risk for securitisation

exposures

The ECAIs used by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch

Securitisation exposures arising from the Grouprsquos investing activities are analysed as follows

9 Equity exposures in banking book

Equity holdings in other entities are accounted for in accordance with the underlying intentions of holdings at the inception of

acquisition The classifications for equity holdings taken for relationship and strategic purposes will be separated from those

taken for other purposes (including capital appreciation) Investments in equity shares which are intended to be held on a

continuing basis but which do not comprise investments in subsidiaries are classified as available-for-sale securities and are

reported in the balance sheet as investments in securities

For equity exposures in banking book other than subsidiaries the Group applies the same accounting treatment and

valuation methodologies as detailed in the Notes 29(4) and 212 to the Financial Statements If additional investment is made

subsequently such that an investee becomes an associate jointly controlled entity or subsidiary then the investment is

reclassified in accordance with the Grouprsquos accounting policies

Management of Risks

The Overview

The principal types of risk inherent in the business of the Group include credit risk liquidity risk market risk interest rate risk

foreign exchange risk and operational risk The Grouprsquos risk management goal is to maximise shareholder value by managing risk

exposures within our acceptance level

Risk Management Structure

The Bankrsquos Board of Directors (the ldquoBoardrdquo) holds the ultimate responsibility for the Grouprsquos overall risk management It

determines the risk management strategies and the risk management structure

To achieve the Grouprsquos goals in risk management the Board sets up the Risk Management Committee which comprises of

independent non-executive directors to oversee the Grouprsquos various types of risks and approve the high-level risk management

policies

According to the risk management strategies established by the Board risk management policies and controls are devised and

reviewed regularly by relevant departments and respective management committees chaired by the Chief Executive (the ldquoCErdquo)

The Risk Management Units develop policies and procedures for identifying measuring monitoring and controlling credit risk

market risk operational risk reputation risk legal and compliance risk interest rate risk liquidity risk and strategic risk to set

appropriate risk limits and to continually monitor risks

The Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management policies and

controls to ensure that the Group is operating according to the established policies procedures and limits

Independence is crucial to effective risk management To ensure the independence of the Risk Management Department and the

Auditing Department they report directly to the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Committee respectively Both

committees are specialised committees set up by the Board and all members are directors of the Bank

Management of Risks (continued)

Risk Management Structure (continued)

(i) Credit risk management

Details of management of credit risk are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(ii) Liquidity risk management

Details of liquidity risk management are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(iii) Market risk management

Details of market risk management are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(iv) Operational risk management

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes staff and information technology

system or from external events The risk is inherent in every aspect of operations The Board recognises operational risk as

a distinct risk category that should be managed with full attention and should be kept up with the best practice of the industry

The Group has formulated and implemented the Operational Risk Management Policy which provides a bank-wide

classification of operational risks and sets out the requirements on risk identification assessment reporting monitoring and

mitigation

To ensure operational risks being under proper monitoring and supervision effective internal control system has been

enforced by means of computer systems and rigorous procedures In addition through coaching and frequent training the

Group has maintained teams of experienced and competent staff in all business and management areas to execute and

monitor the operations of the Group

The Grouprsquos policies and procedures will be reviewed vigilantly and updated in accordance with the new promulgated

requirements from time to time Furthermore the Auditing Department performs independent checking to ascertain that the

procedures are properly followed and reports discrepancies found directly to the Audit Committee

In order to meet regulatory bodiesrsquo requirements and to facilitate the implementation of operational risk management

framework a dedicated division in the Risk Management Department monitors collects analyzes reports the records and

details of the operational risk losses and incidents

The Group has reviewed and enhanced the Business Continuity Plan of all critical banking services To ensure practicality of

the plan drill on contingency plans on certain critical business functions has been duly performed annually and the result was

satisfactory

Management of Risks (continued)

Risk Management Structure (continued)

(v) Reputation risk management

Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity damage to reputation or complaints associated with or relating to the Group

membersrsquo business practices financial condition staff behaviour or conduct whether genuine or not which may impair public

confidence in the Group members causing a potential decline in the customer base costly litigation or settlement revenue

erosion public reprimand or severe regulatory sanctions Reputation risk is inherent in every aspect of the Grouprsquos business

operation and covers a wide spectrum of issues Market rumors or public perceptions are significant factors in determining

the level of risk in this category

In order to mitigate reputation risk the Group has formulated and implemented - Reputation Risk Management Policy which

establishes standards to prevent and to manage reputation risk proactively at an early stage In order to eliminate or alleviate

the negative impact on the Grouprsquos reputation incidents related to reputation risk are handled promptly in accordance with

the Business Continuity Plan and Negative Incident Response Mechanism

In addition precautionary measures have been taken and special attention has been drawn in the combat of the Anti-Money

Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing activities Specific procedure manuals and self-checking compliance list have been

issued and trainings have been provided to all staff to stipulate the Grouprsquos policy and stance in order to prevent the Grouprsquos

services being used by the villains for illegal activities

(vi) Legal and compliance risk management

Legal risk is the risk that unenforceable contracts lawsuits or adverse judgments may disrupt or otherwise negatively affect

the operations or financial condition of the Group

Compliance risk is the risk of legal and regulatory sanctions financial loss or loss to reputation that the Group may suffer as

a result of its any failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations By establishing and maintaining appropriate

policies and guidelines the Group ensures to conduct its business in compliance with the requirements of relevant laws and

regulations

(vii) Strategic risk management

Strategic risk generally refers to the risks that may induce some current or future negative impacts on the earnings capital

Corporate Governance (continued)

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism

1 Performance Management Mechanism

To reflect the corporate culture of ldquoAchieving Performance and Effectivenessrdquo the Group has put in place a performance

management mechanism to formalize the performance management at the levels of the Group units and individuals The

annual targets of the Group will be cascaded down under the framework of balanced scorecard whereby the performance

of the senior management and different units (including business units risk control units and other units) would be

assessed from the perspectives of financial customer building blockkey tasks human capital risk management and

compliance As to the performance management of individual staff at different levels the annual targets of the Group will

be tied to the job requirements of different posts at different levels through the model of level-based performance

management Performance of individuals will be appraised with reference to their accomplishment of work targets

contribution towards overall performance of their corresponding units and compliance of risk management and internal

control policies Under this mechanism not only the target accomplishment has been taken into account the risk

exposure involved during the course of work of a staff member could also be evaluated and managed so as to provide

safeguards to the Group against the risk and ensure normal operations The mechanism is also coupled with the

assessment on system of values thereby facilitating the attainment of the core values of the Group

2 Risk Modification of Remuneration

To implement the principle of aligning the performance and remuneration with the risk based on ldquoThe Risk Adjustment

Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquoof BOCHK the key risk modifiers of the bank have been incorporated into

the performance management mechanism of the Group The size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group is

calculated according to the risk adjusted performance results approved by the Board of BOCHK and is subject to its

discretion In doing so the total amount to be paid to staff as variable remuneration would be determined on the basis of

the risk adjusted performance results This method enables the Group to fix the Grouprsquos Variable Remuneration Pool

after considering risk exposures and changes and to maintain effective risk management through the remuneration

mechanism

ldquoThe Risk Adjustment Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquo consists of ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo and ldquoPost Result Score

Adjustmentrdquo

ldquoRisk Modifier measures the risk factors that are quantifiable and directly linked to the Group financial performance

including credit risk market risk interest rate risk as well as liquidity risk With most of the indicators being quantitative

ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo utilizes both absolute and relative measures and assesses the risk level from both ex-ante and ex-

post perspectives

ldquoPost Result Score Adjustment measures the risk factors that are not quantifiable aiming at the overall adjustment

to the group performance results upon the occurrence of major risk events These risk factors include operational risk

legal and compliance risk as well as reputation risk ldquoPost Result Score Adjustmentrdquo utilizes qualitative measures to

assess the impact of non quantifiable risk factors to the group performance results from ex-post perspective

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

3 Performance-based and Risk-adjusted Remuneration Management

The remuneration of staff is composed of ldquofixed remunerationrdquo and ldquovariable remunerationrdquo the proportion of one to the

other for individual staff members depends on job grades roles responsibilities and functions of the staff with the

prerequisite that balance has to be struck between the fixed and variable portion Generally speaking the higher the job

grades andor the greater the responsibilities the higher will be the proportion of variable remuneration so as to

encourage the staff to follow the philosophy of prudent risk management and sound long-term financial stability

Every year the Group will conduct periodic review on the fixed remuneration of the staff with reference to various factors

like remuneration strategy market pay trend and staff salary level and to determine the remuneration based on the

affordability of the Group as well as the performance of the Group units and individuals As mentioned above

performance assessment criteria include quantitative and qualitative factors as well as financial and non-financial

indicators

According to the Group Bonus Funding Mechanics of BOCHK the size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group

is determined by the Board of BOCHK on the basis of the financial performance of the Group and the achievement of

non-financial strategic business targets under the long-term development of the BOCHK Group Thorough consideration

is also made to the risk factors in the determination process The size of the Pool is reached based on pre-defined

formulaic calculations but the Board of BOCHK can make discretionary adjustment to it if deemed appropriate under

prevailing circumstances When the BOCHK group performance is relatively weak (eg failed to meet the threshold

performance level) no variable remuneration will be paid out that year in principle however the Board of BOCHK owns

the rights of discretionary decision

As far as individual units and individual staff are concerned allocation of the variable remuneration is closely linked to the

performance of the units and that of each individual staff as well as the unit heshe is attaching to the assessment of

which should include risk modifiers The performance and remuneration arrangement of risk control personnel are

determined by the achievements of their core job responsibilities independent from the business they oversee for front-

line risk controllers a matrix reporting and performance management system is applied to ensure the suitability of

performance-based remuneration Within the acceptable risk level of the Group the better the performance of the unit

and the individual staff the higher will be the variable remuneration for the individual staff

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

4 Linking the payout of the variable remuneration with the time horizon of the risk to reflect the long-term value

creation of the Group

To work out the principle of aligning remuneration with the time horizon of risk and to ensure that sufficient time is

allowed to ascertain the associated risk and its impact before the actual payout payout of the variable remuneration of

staff is required to be deferred in cash if such amount reaches certain prescribed threshold The Group adopts a

progressive approach towards deferral The longer the time horizon of risk in the activities conducted by the staff the

higher the job grade or the higher amount of the variable remuneration the higher will be the proportion of deferral

Deferral lasts for 3 years

The vesting of the deferred variable remuneration is linked with the long term value creation of the Group The vesting

conditions are linked to the yearly performance (financial and non-financial) of the BOCHK Group in the next 3 years to

the effect that the variable remuneration could only be vested to such extent as set for the relevant year in that 3-year

period subject to the condition that the BOCHK Grouprsquos performance has met the threshold requirement in the

corresponding year In case of material revision of the original estimates of the performance of the Group or individual

units or if a staff is found to commit fraud or found to be of malfeasance or in violation of internal control policies the

unvested portion of the deferred variable remuneration of the relevant staff will be clawed back

196

Advances are impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the advances that can be reliably estimated If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on advances has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the advances Objective evidence that advances are impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the condensed consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates market interest rates metal prices or equity prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

related condensed consolidated income statement the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income the condensed

consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six-month period then

ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes The directors of the Bank are responsible for

the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim

report our conclusion solely to you as a body in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose We do

not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ldquoReview of Interim Financial

Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entityrdquo issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants A

review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting

matters and applying analytical and other review procedures A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in

accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become

aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared

in all material respects in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim Financial Reportingrdquo

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKAS 1 (Revised) lsquoPresentation of Financial Statementsrsquo The amendments to HKAS 1 (Revised) require companies

preparing financial statements in accordance with HKFRSs to group together items within other comprehensive

income (OCI) that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement The amendments also

reaffirm existing requirements that items in OCI and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or

two consecutive statements The adoption of this revised standard will affect the presentation of the Grouprsquos statement

of comprehensive income

bull HKAS 19 (2011) lsquoEmployee Benefitsrsquo The revised standard mainly amends the part related to accounting for

changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets and related presentation and disclosure The amendments do

not have significant impact on the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial

Statementsrsquo

bull HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint

Arrangementsrsquo

bull HKAS 32 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Presentation ndash Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The amendment addresses inconsistencies in current practice when applying the offsetting criteria and clarifies the

meaning of lsquocurrently has a legally enforceable right of set-offrsquo and the application of offsetting criteria to some gross

settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) that may be considered equivalent to net settlement The

Group is considering the financial impact of the amendment

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transfer of Financial Assetsrsquo The amendment

introduces new quantitative disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets that are either fully derecognised

or derecognised not in their entirety The adoption of this amendment will affect the disclosures of the Grouprsquos financial

statements when the Group undertakes transfers of financial assets that fall within its scope

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The new disclosures which are similar to the new US GAAP disclosure requirements would provide users with

information that is useful in (i) evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entityrsquos financial

position and (ii) analysing and comparing financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs and US GAAP The

adoption of this amended standard will affect the disclosure of the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transition to IFRS 9rsquo The amendments provide relief

from the requirement to restate comparative financial statements which was originally available only to entities that

chose to apply HKFRS 9 prior to 2012 Instead additional transition disclosures will be required to help users to better

understand the effect of initial application of the standard

bull HKFRS 9 lsquoFinancial Instrumentsrsquo The first part of HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and will replace those

parts of HKAS 39 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets In November 2010 a further

pronouncement was published to address financial liabilities and derecognition Key features are as follows

(i) Classification and Measurement

Financial assets are required to be classified into one of the following measurement categories (1) those to be

measured subsequently at fair value or (2) those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost Classification is

to be made on transition and subsequently on initial recognition The classification depends on the entityrsquos

business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the

instrument

A financial instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instrument and the objective

of the entityrsquos business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows and the assetrsquos contractual

cash flows represent only unleveraged payments of principal and interest All other debt instruments are to be

measured at fair value through profit or loss

All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value Equity instruments that are held for trading will

be measured at fair value through profit or loss For all other equity investments an irrevocable election can be

made at initial recognition to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through other

comprehensive income rather than income statement Once elected to be recognised through other comprehensive

income there will be no reclassification of fair value gains and losses to income statement Dividends are to be

presented in income statement as long as they represent a return on investment

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

(ii) Financial Liabilities and Derecognition

Except for the two substantial changes described below the classification and measurement requirements of

financial liabilities have been basically carried forward with minimal amendments from HKAS 39 For the

derecognition principles they are consistent with that of HKAS 39

The requirements related to the fair value option for financial liabilities were changed to address own credit risk It

requires the amount of change in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial liabilities be

presented in other comprehensive income The remaining amount of the total gain or loss is included in income

statement If this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss then the whole fair value

change is presented in income statement The determination of whether there will be a mismatch will need to be

made at initial recognition of individual liabilities and will not be re-assessed Amounts presented in other

comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to income statement but may be transferred within equity

The standard eliminates the exception from fair value measurement contained in HKAS 39 for derivative liabilities

that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument

The mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 is deferred from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2015 with earlier adoption

still permitted The deferral will make it possible to have the same mandatory effective date for the entire standard

New transitional disclosures are required instead of comparative restatement The Group is considering the

financial impact of the standard and the timing of its application

bull HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial Statementsrsquo HKFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of

control as the determining factor when considering whether an entity should be included within the consolidated

financial statements of the parent company The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination

of control where this is difficult to assess It also replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation stipulated in

HKAS 27 (Revised) lsquoConsolidated and Separate Financial Statementsrsquo and HK(SIC)- Int 12 lsquoConsolidation ndash Special

Purpose Entitiesrsquo The remainder of HKAS 27 (Revised) is renamed HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo

as a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements without changing the existing guidance for separate

financial statements

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint Arrangementsrsquo Changes in the definitions stipulated in HKFRS 11 have reduced the lsquotypesrsquo of joint

arrangements to two joint operations and joint ventures A joint operation is a joint arrangement that gives parties to

the arrangement direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities The lsquojointly controlled assetsrsquo classification

in HKAS 31 lsquoInterests in Joint Venturesrsquo has been merged into joint operations as both types of arrangements

generally result in the same accounting outcome A joint venture in contrast gives the parties rights to the net assets

or outcome of the arrangement Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with HKAS 28

lsquoInvestments in Associatesrsquo which is renamed as HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo The

standard is amended to include the requirements of joint ventures accounting and to merge with the requirements of

HK(SIC)-Int 13 lsquoJointly Controlled Entities ndash Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturersrsquo After the application of HKAS

28 (2011) entities can no longer account for an interest in a joint venture using the proportionate consolidation method

bull HKFRS 12 lsquoDisclosure of Interests in Other Entitiesrsquo The standard sets out the required disclosures for entities

reporting under the two new standards HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 11 and the revised standard HKAS 28 (2011) The

existing guidance and disclosure requirements for separate financial statements stipulated in HKAS 27 (Revised) are

unchanged HKFRS 12 requires entities to disclose information that helps financial statements readers to evaluate the

nature risks and financial effects associated with the entityrsquos interests in subsidiaries associates joint arrangements

and unconsolidated structured entities

The above HKFRS 10 HKFRS 11 HKFRS 12 HKAS 27 (2011) and HKAS 28 (2011) issued in June 2011 are a group

of five new standards that address the scope of reporting entity and will supersede HKAS 27 (Revised) HKAS 28

HKAS 31 HK(SIC)-Int 12 and HK(SIC)-Int 13 Earlier application of these standards are permitted but only when they

are applied at the same time The Group is assessing the impact on the financial statements of the Group as a result

of the adoption of these new standards

bull HKFRS 13 lsquoFair Value Measurementrsquo The new standard which was issued in June 2011 replaces the fair value

measurement guidance contained in individual HKFRSs by providing a revised definition of fair value and a single

source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs The requirements do not

extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied when its use is already

required or permitted by other standards within HKFRSs The Group is assessing the impact on the financial

statements of the Group as a result of the adoption of this new standard

(c) Improvements to HKFRS

lsquoImprovements to HKFRSrsquo contains numerous amendments to HKFRS which the HKICPA considers not urgent but

necessary It comprises amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation recognition or measurement

purpose as well as terminology or editorial amendments related to a variety of individual HKFRS Most of the

amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 For amendments that are effective for

the financial year beginning on 1 January 2011 there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Group

year of early adoption

HKAS 12 (Amendment)

Income Taxes 1 January 2012 Yes 2010

bull HKAS 12 (Amendment) lsquoIncome Taxesrsquo The standard which was revised in December 2010 is mandatorily effective

for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 Earlier application is permitted The Group considers that

the required treatment under the revised standard better reflects the tax position of the investment properties of the

Group and has early adopted the amended standard retrospectively since the year ended 31 December 2010

Upon early adoption deferred tax liabilities for the revaluation of investment properties have been calculated subject to

a nil tax rate

22 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank and all of its subsidiaries made up to

31 December

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group controls the composition of the board

of directors controls more than half of the voting power holds more than half of the issued capital or by any other means

that entitle the Group to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities The existence and effect of potential

voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls

another entity Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group They are de-

consolidated from the date that control ceases

21

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

22 Consolidation (continued)

Subsidiaries (continued)

For combination with a company under common control the merger accounting method will be applied The principle of

merger accounting is a way to combine companies under common control as though the business of the acquiree had

always been carried out by the acquirer The Grouprsquos consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated results

consolidated cash flows and consolidated financial position of the Group as if any such combination had occurred from

the date when the Bank and the acquiree first came under common control (ie no fair value adjustment on the date of

combination is required) The difference between the consideration and carrying amount at the time of combination is

recognised in other comprehensive income The effects of all transactions between the Group and the acquiree whether

occurring before or after the combination are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group

Comparative amounts are presented as if the acquiree had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period

The transaction costs for the combination will be expensed in the income statement

Inter-company transactions balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated

unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the assets transferred

Where necessary accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted

by the Group

In the Bankrsquos balance sheet the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses The

results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Bank on the basis of dividends received and receivable

23 Segmental reporting

The operating result of segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the

Management which is the chief operating decision maker of the Group that allocates resources and assesses the

performance of operating segments Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in

determining business segment performance

24 Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Grouprsquos entities are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which the entity operates (the ldquofunctional currencyrdquo) The consolidated financial statements are

presented in Hong Kong dollars which is the Bankrsquos functional and presentation currency

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions using the exchange

rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

translated at the rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period are recognised directly in the income statement

22

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

24 Foreign currency translation (continued)

Translation differences on monetary securities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as part of the fair value

gain or loss Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-

sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the securities and other

changes in the carrying amount of the securities Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are

recognised in the income statement and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive

income

Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as

part of the fair value gain or loss Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as

available-for-sale are included in the available-for-sale reserve in equity

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from Hong Kong dollars

are translated into Hong Kong dollars as follows

bull assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period

bull income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and

bull all resulting exchange differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity through other

comprehensive income

On consolidation exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of

borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments are taken to other comprehensive

income When a foreign entity is sold such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the

gain or loss on sale

25 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-

measured at fair value Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets including recent market

transactions and through the use of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models and options pricing

models as appropriate All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is

negative

The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (ie the fair value of the

consideration given or received)

23

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

25 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic

characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not carried at fair

value through profit or loss These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised

in the income statement

Derivatives are categorised as held for trading and changes in their fair value are recognised immediately in the income

statement unless they are designated as hedges and are effective hedging instruments then they are subject to

measurement under the hedge accounting requirements

26 Hedge accounting

The Group documents at inception the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk

management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions The Group also documents its

assessment both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis of whether the hedging instruments that are used in

hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of hedged items These criteria should be met

before a hedge can be qualified to be accounted for under hedge accounting

Net investment hedge

A gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and

accumulated in equity a gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement

Accumulated gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to income statement

upon disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss on disposal

27 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally

enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset

and settle the liability simultaneously

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognised in the income statement for all financial assets and financial liabilities using

the effective interest method

24

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of

allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period The effective interest rate is the rate that

exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or

when appropriate a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability When calculating

the effective interest rate the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial

instrument (eg prepayment options or incentives relating to residential mortgage loans) but does not consider future

credit losses The calculation includes fees premiums or discounts and basis points paid or received between parties to

the contract and directly attributable origination fees and costs which represent an integral part of the effective yield are

amortised as interest income or expense over the expected life of the financial instrument

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss

interest income is recognised on the written down value using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows

for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss Subsequent unwinding of the discount allowance is recognised as

interest income

Fee and commission income and expenses that are not an integral part of the effective yield are recognised on an accrual

basis ratably over the period when the related service is provided such as administrative fee asset management fee and

custody services fee Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the related syndication arrangement has

been completed and the Group has retained no part of the loan package for itself or has retained a part at the same

effective interest rate as that of other participants

29 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following four categories financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss loans and receivables held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale financial assets The Management

determines the classification of investments at initial recognition The classification depends on the purpose for which the

financial assets were held All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value Except for financial assets carried at

fair value through profit or loss all transaction costs of financial assets are included in their amortised costs

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through

profit or loss at inception

A financial asset which has been acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or is part of

a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent

actual pattern of short-term profit-taking is classified as held-for-trading Derivatives are also classified as held for

trading unless they are designated as effective hedges

25

29 Financial assets (continued)

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

A financial asset other than one held for trading will be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or

loss if it meets one of the criteria set out below and is so designated by the Management

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial assets or recognising the gains and

losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated on

a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information about

the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial assets containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial assets

These assets are recognised initially at fair value with transaction costs taken directly to the income statement and

are subsequently re-measured at fair value

Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such assets (excluding the interest component) are reported in net

trading gainloss or net gainloss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss The interest

component is reported as part of interest income Dividends on equity instruments of this category are also recognised

in net trading gainloss when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

(2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in

an active market including placements with and advances to banks and other financial institutions investment debt

securities without an active market and loans and advances to customers They arise when the Group provides money

goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable They are initially recorded at fair value

plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate method less allowances for impairment losses

26

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

29 Financial assets (continued)

(3) Held-to-maturity

Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are those traded in active markets with fixed or determinable payments

and fixed maturities that the Grouprsquos Management has both the positive intention and the ability to hold to maturity

Where the Group sold held-to-maturity assets (i) other than due to an isolated event beyond the Grouprsquos control non-

recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Group or (ii) other than an insignificant amount of

held-to-maturity assets the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale They are initially

recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less allowances for impairment losses

(4) Available-for-sale

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are those that are either designated as such or are not classified in any

of the other categories They are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to

needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates exchange rates or equity prices

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and

are subsequently measured at fair value Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of

investments are recognised directly in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is disposed of or impaired

at which time the accumulated gain or loss previously recognised in equity should be transferred to the income

statement However interest income which includes the amortisation of premium and discount is calculated using the

effective interest method and is recognised in the income statement Dividends on equity instruments classified as

available-for-sale are recognised in other operating income when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

The treatment of translation differences on available-for-sale securities is dealt with in Note 24

210 Financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities under the following categories trading liabilities financial liabilities designated

at fair value through profit or loss deposits and other liabilities All financial liabilities are classified at inception and

recognised initially at fair value

(1) Trading liabilities

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the

short term Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedges It is

measured at fair value and any gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

A financial liability can be designated at fair value through profit or loss if it is so designated at inception A financial

liability is so designated if it meets one of the following criteria

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial liabilities or recognising the gains

and losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated

on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information

about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial liabilities containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial liabilities

Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and any gains and

losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

(3) Deposits and other liabilities

Deposits and other liabilities other than those classified as trading liabilities or designated at fair value through profit

or loss are carried at amortised cost Any difference (if available) between proceeds net of transaction costs and the

redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period using the effective interest method

211 Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder

for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a

contract between the holder and the debtor

Financial guarantees are initially recognised as financial liabilities and reported under ldquoOther accounts and provisionsrdquo in

the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given Subsequent to initial recognition the Grouprsquos

liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37

ldquoProvisions Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assetsrdquo and (ii) the amount initially recognised less where appropriate

accumulated amortisation recognised over the life of the guarantee on a straight-line basis Any changes in the liability

relating to financial guarantees are taken to the income statement

212 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss available-for-sale and held-to-maturity

securities are recognised on the trade date the date on which the Group purchases or sells the assets Loans and

receivables (except investment securities without an active market) are recognised when cash is advanced to the

borrowers Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have

expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership When the Group neither

transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset the Group either

continues to recognise the transferred financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement if control remains or

derecognise it if there is no retained control

Trading liabilities and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognised on the trade date

Deposits that are not trading liabilities are recognised when money is received from customers other liabilities are

recognised when such obligations arise Financial liabilities are de-recognised from the balance sheet when and only

when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged cancelled or expired

Securities and bills sold to a counter party with an obligation to repurchase at a pre-determined price on a specified

future date under a repurchase agreement are referred to as Repos Securities and bills purchased from a counter party

with an obligation to re-sell to the counter party at a pre-determined price on a specified future date under a resale

agreement are referred to as Reverse repos

Repos or securities lending are initially recorded as due to banks placements from banks and other financial institutions

as appropriate at the actual amount of cash received from the counter party Financial assets given as collateral for

repurchase agreements are not derecognised and are recorded as investment securities or financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss Reverse repos or securities borrowing are initially recorded in the balance sheet as cash and due

from banks or placements with banks and other financial institutions as appropriate at the actual amount of cash paid

to the counter party Financial assets received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements are not recognised on

the balance sheet The difference between sale and repurchase price is recognised as interest income or interest

expense over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method

213 Determination of fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are quoted in active markets are based on current bid

prices and current ask prices respectively If the market for financial assets and financial liabilities is not active (such as

unlisted securities) the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques These include the use of recent

armrsquos length transactions discounted cash flow analysis option pricing models and other valuation techniques

commonly used by market participants

214 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses as at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or

group of financial assets is impaired A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses

are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after

the initial recognition of the asset (a ldquoloss eventrdquo) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future

cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated Objective evidence that a

financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the

Group about the following probable loss events

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

(ii) a breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

(iii) the Group granting to the borrower for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty a

concession that the lender would not otherwise consider

(iv) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation

(v) the disappearance of an active market or downgrading below investment grade level for that financial asset

because of financial difficulties or

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of

financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the

individual financial assets in the group including

bull adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or

bull national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are

individually significant If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually

assessed financial asset it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and

collectively assesses them for impairment together with all other financial assets that are not individually significant

or for which impairment has not yet been identified Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for

which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity securities has

been incurred the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assetrsquos carrying amount and the

present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted

at the financial assetrsquos original effective interest rate The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of

an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement If a loan or held-to-maturity

investment has a variable interest rate the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective

interest rate determined under the contract As a practical expedient the Group may measure impairment on the

basis of an instrumentrsquos fair value using an observable market price

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the

cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral

For the purposes of a collective assessment of impairment financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar and

relevant credit risk characteristics Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups

of such assets by being indicative of the debtorsrsquo ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of

the assets being evaluated

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the

basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets in the group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk

characteristics similar to those in the group Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable

data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is

based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently

When a loan is uncollectible it is written off against the related allowance for impairment losses Such loans are

written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of impairment losses in the income

statement

If in a subsequent period the amount of allowance for impairment losses decreases and the decrease can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised (such as an improvement in the

debtorrsquos credit rating) the previously recognised impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed by

adjusting the allowance account The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement

Loans whose terms have been renegotiated with substantial difference in the terms are no longer considered to be

past due but are treated as new loans

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(2) Assets classified as available-for-sale

If evidence of impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets the accumulated losses measured as the

difference between the acquisition cost or amortised cost and the current fair value less any impairment loss on that

financial asset previously recognised in the income statement is removed from equity and recognised in the income

statement In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale a significant or prolonged decline in the

fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired If in a

subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can

be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement the

impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed through the income statement With respect to equity

instruments further fair value changes are recognised in the reserve for fair value change of available-for-sale

securities through other comprehensive income impairment losses are not reversed through the income statement

215 Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and non-financial assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount

may not be recoverable Potential indications of impairment may include significant adverse changes in the

technological market economic or legal environment in which the assets operate or whether there has been a

significant or prolonged decline in value below their cost

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetrsquos carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount

The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell and value in use For the purposes of

assessing impairment assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows

(cash generating units) Assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each

reporting date

In the Bankrsquos financial statements impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is also required upon receiving

dividend from that entity if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of that entity concerned in the period

the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of that entity in the Banks balance sheet exceeds the carrying amount

of that entitys net assets including goodwill in its consolidated balance sheet

216 Investment properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that are not occupied by the

companies in the Group are classified as investment properties Properties leased out within Group companies are

classified as investment properties in individual companiesrsquo financial statements and as premises in consolidated

financial statements Land held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the

rest of the definition of investment property is met The operating lease is accounted for as if it is a finance lease

32

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

216 Investment properties (continued)

Investment properties are recognised initially at cost including related transaction costs After initial recognition

investment properties are measured at fair value assessed by professional valuers on the basis of open market value If

information of open market value is not available alternative valuation methods are used such as recent prices on less

active markets or discounted cash flow projections These valuations are performed in accordance with valuation

standards on properties published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the assetrsquos carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably The item is stated at

cost less impairment and is included in the carrying amount of investment properties Once the item begins to generate

economic benefits it is then measured at fair value All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the income

statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

Any changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income statement

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied it is reclassified as premises and its fair value at the date of

reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes If an item of premises becomes an investment property

because its use has changed any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the

date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income as a revaluation of premises under HKAS 16 ldquoProperty

Plant and Equipmentrdquo However if a fair value gain reverses a previous revaluation loss or impairment loss the gain is

recognised in the income statement up to the amount previously debited

217 Properties plant and equipment

Properties are mainly branch and office premises Premises are shown at fair value based on periodic at least annually

valuations by external independent valuers less subsequent accumulated depreciation Any accumulated depreciation at

the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the

revalued amount of the asset In the intervening periods the directors review the carrying amount of premises by

reference to the open market value of similar properties and adjustments are made when there has been a material

change

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment Historical cost

includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the items

Subsequent costs are included in an assetrsquos carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset as appropriate

only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the

item can be measured reliably The item is stated at cost until it begins to generate economic benefits then the item is

subsequently measured according to the measurement basis of its respective assets class All other repairs and

maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

33

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

217 Properties plant and equipment (continued)

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of premises are credited to the premises revaluation reserve

through other comprehensive income Decreases that offset previous increases of the same individual asset are

charged against premises revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income all other decreases are expensed

in the income statement Any subsequent increases are credited to the income statement up to the amount previously

debited and then to the premises revaluation reserve Upon disposal of premises the relevant portion of the premises

revaluation reserve realised in respect of previous valuations is released and transferred from the premises revaluation

reserve to retained earnings

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write down the cost or revalued amount of such assets over

their estimated useful lives as follows

bull Properties Over the life of government land leases

bull Plant and equipment 2-15 years

The useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate as at the end of each reporting period

At the end of each reporting period both internal and external sources of information are considered to determine

whether there is any indication that properties plant and equipmentare impaired If any such indication exists the

recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and where relevant an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset

to its recoverable amount Such impairment loss is recognised in the income statement except where the asset is

carried at valuation and the impairment loss does not exceed the revaluation surplus for that same asset in which case

it is treated as a revaluation decrease The recoverable amount is the higher of the assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell

and value in use Impairment loss is reversed through the premises revaluation reserve or income statement as

appropriate

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount relevant taxes and

expenses These are recognised in the income statement

34

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

218 Leases

(1) Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified

as operating leases The total payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)

are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired any payment required to be made to the

lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place Rental income

from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term

(2) Finance leases

Leases of assets where lessee have obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as

finance leases Government land leases in Hong Kong are classified as finance leases as market anticipates that the

leases can be extended for a nominal amount the risks and rewards of leasehold land would have already been

substantially transferred to the lessee as if it were freehold

Finance leases are capitalised at the leasersquos commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and

the present value of the minimum lease payments Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance

charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding The corresponding rental obligations

net of finance charges are included in other liabilities Investment properties acquired under finance leases are

carried at their fair value

When assets are leased out under a finance lease the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a

receivable Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using net investment method which reflects a

constant periodic rate of return

219 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with original

maturity less than three months from the date of acquisition including cash balances with banks and other financial

institutions short-term bills and notes classified as investment securities

220 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events it is

probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a

reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made

35

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

221 Employee benefits

(1) Retirement benefit costs

The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes under either recognised ORSO schemes or MPF

schemes that are available to the Grouprsquos employees Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees

are calculated as a percentage of employeesrsquo basic salaries for the ORSO schemes and in accordance with the MPF

rules for MPF schemes The retirement benefit scheme costs are charged to the income statement as incurred and

represent contributions payable by the Group to the schemes Contributions made by the Group that are forfeited by

those employees who leave the ORSO scheme prior to the full vesting of their entitlement to the contributions are

used by the Group to reduce the existing level of contributions or to meet its expenses under the trust deed of the

ORSO schemes

The assets of the schemes are held in independently-administered funds separate from those of the Group

(2) Leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and sick leave are recognised when they accrue to employees A provision is

made for the estimated liability for unused annual leave and the amount of sick leave expected to be paid as a result

of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period

Compensated absences other than sick leave and special approved annual leaves are non-accumulating they lapse

if the current periodrsquos entitlement is not used in full Except for unexpired annual leaves they do not entitle

employees to a cash payment for unused entitlement on leaving the Group Such compensated absences are

recognised when the absences occur

(3) Bonus plans

The expected cost of bonus payments are recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or

constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be

made Liabilities for bonus plans that are expected to be settled longer than twelve months will be recognised using

discounted cash flow method if the amounts are significant

222 Current and deferred income taxes

Tax expenses for the period comprises current and deferred tax Tax is recognised in the income statement except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income In this case the tax is also

recognised in other comprehensive income within the corresponding item

Income tax payable on profits based on the applicable tax law enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the

reporting period in each jurisdiction where the Bank and the subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income is

recognised as a current income tax expense in the period in which profits arise

36

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

222 Current and deferred income taxes (continued)

Deferred income tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences arising

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end

of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred

income tax liability is settled

The principal temporary differences arise from asset impairment provisions depreciation of premises and equipment

revaluation of certain assets including available-for-sale securities and premises and tax losses carried forward

However the deferred income tax is not recognised 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 income tax liabilities are provided in full on all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets

are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary

differences can be utilised

Deferred income tax is charged or credited in the income statement except for deferred income tax relating to fair value

re-measurement of available-for-sale securities and revaluation of premises which are charged or credited to other

comprehensive income in which case the deferred income tax is also credited or charged to other comprehensive

income and is subsequently recognised in the income statement together with the realisation of the deferred gain and

loss

Deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset arising from investment property is determined based on the presumption that

the revaluation amount of such investment property will be recovered through sale with the relevant tax rate applied

223 Repossessed assets

Repossessed assets are initially recognised at the lower of their fair value less costs to sell and the amortised cost of the

related outstanding loans on the date of repossession and the related loans and advances together with the related

impairment allowances are derecognised from the balance sheet Subsequently repossessed assets are measured at

the lower of their cost and fair values less costs to sell and are reported as lsquonon-current assets held for salersquo included in

lsquoOther assetsrsquo

224 Fiduciary activities

The Group commonly acts as a trustee or in other fiduciary capacities that result in its holding or managing assets on

behalf of individuals trusts and other institutions These assets and any gains or losses arising thereon are excluded

from these financial statements as they are not assets of the Group

37

225 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by

the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group It

can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow

of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably

A contingent liability is not recognised as a provision but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements When a

change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable it will then be recognised as a provision

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the

occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Group

Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of

economic benefits is probable When the inflow is virtually certain it will be recognised as an asset

226 Related parties

For the purposes of these financial statements a party is considered to be related to the Group if that party controls

jointly controls or has significant influence over the Group is a member of the same financial reporting group such as

parents subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries is an associate or a joint venture of the Group or parent reporting group is

a key management personnel of the Group or parents or where the Group and the party are subject to common control

Related parties may be individuals or entities

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next

financial year Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances Areas susceptible to

changes in essential estimates and judgements which affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are set out below

The effect of changes to either the key assumptions or other estimation uncertainties will be presented below if it is

practicable to determine It is possible that actual results may require material adjustments to the estimates referred to below

31 Impairment allowances on loans and advances

The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis In determining whether an

impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement the Group makes judgements as to whether there is any

observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans

and advances before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio This evidence may include

observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group (eg

payment delinquency or default) or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group The

Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective

evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when estimating expected future cash flows The methodology and

assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of loans and advances as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 23 to the Financial Statements

32 Impairment of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments

The Group reviews its held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment portfolios to assess impairment at least on a

quarterly basis In determining whether any of these investments is impaired risk characteristics and performance such

as external credit rating market price etc will be assessed The Group makes estimates on the default rate and loss

severity of each investment with reference to market performance of the portfolios current payment status of the issuers

or performance of the underlying assets or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the collateralised assets

The methodology and assumptions used for impairment assessments are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of investment in securities as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 25 to the Financial Statements

33 Fair values of derivative financial instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation

techniques Valuation techniques used include discounted cash flows analysis and models with built-in functions available

in externally acquired financial analysis or risk management systems widely used by the industry To the extent practical

the models use only observable data

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)

34 Held-to-maturity investments

The Group follows the guidance of HKAS 39 in classifying certain non-derivative financial assets with fixed or

determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity securities This classification requires significant

Management judgement to evaluate the Grouprsquos intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity If the Group

fails to hold these investments to maturity other than for specific circumstances defined in HKAS 39 such as selling an

insignificant amount selling close to maturity or due to significant credit deterioration of such investments it will be

required to reclassify the entire portfolio of financial assets as available-for-sale investments The investments would then

be measured at fair value and not amortised cost

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4 Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risks as a result of engaging in a variety of business activities The principal financial risks

are credit risk market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk This note summarises the

Grouprsquos exposures to these risks as well as its objectives policies and procedures for managing and the methods used to

measure these risks

Financial risk management framework

The Grouprsquos risk management governance structure is designed to cover all business processes and ensure various risks

are properly managed and controlled in the course of conducting business The Group has a sound risk management

organisational structure with a comprehensive set of policies and procedures to identify measure monitor and control

various risks that may arise These risk management policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and modified to reflect

changes in markets and business strategies

The Board of Directors representing the interests of shareholders is the highest decision making authority of the Group

and has the ultimate responsibility for risk management The Board with the assistance of the Risk Management

Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) has the primary responsibility for formulating risk management strategies and ensuring that the Group

has an effective risk management system to implement these strategies

The RMC a standing committee established by the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Grouprsquos various

types of risks reviewing and approving high-level risk-related policies and overseeing their implementation reviewing and

approving significant or high risk exposures or transactions and exercising its power of veto if it considers that the

transactions should not proceed

41

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) 4 Financial risk management (continued)

Financial risk management framework (continued)

The Group has put in place appropriate internal control systems including establishment of an organisation structure that

sets adequately clear lines of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with policies procedures and limits

Proper reporting lines also provide sufficient independence of the control functions from the business areas as well as

adequate segregation of duties throughout the organisation which helps to promote an appropriate internal control

environment

Pursuant to a risk-based approach the Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on areas including principal

risks regulatory compliance adequacy and effectiveness of risk policies and internal control systems operations and

activities

Product development

To ensure effective risk assessment and monitoring the Group developed a comprehensive product development and

management framework which clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of all related units and the proper risk

assessment procedures for the product development process

In accordance with the strategic objectives set by the Management the respective product management units are

responsible for formulating business and product development plans and the division of strategic development shall ensure

the plans are aligned with the Grouprsquos overall strategies Divisions that are responsible for risk management legal

compliance and finance etc are accountable for reviewing the relevant risk assessment results

Apart from product development the respective business units identify and assess all the related risks Risk evaluating

divisions shall conduct independent review on risk management procedures and assessment results Products can only be

launched after the risk management procedures are fulfilled and endorsed by all risk evaluating divisions

In order to be prudent in offering treasury products to our clients all treasury products regardless brand new or modified

require approval from the Management or the special committee before launching

41 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that a customer or counterparty will be unable to or unwilling to meet its contractual

obligations Credit risk exists in the trading book and banking book on- and off-balance sheet exposures of a bank It

arises principally from lending trade finance treasury businesses and covers inter-bank transactions foreign exchange

and derivative transactions as well as investments in bonds and securities

Credit risk management framework

The Group has formulated a comprehensive set of credit risk management policies and procedures and appropriate

credit risk limits to manage and control credit risk that may arise These policies procedures and credit risk limits are

regularly reviewed to cope with changes in risk market conditions and business strategies

42

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4 Financial risk management (continued)

41 Credit Risk (continued)

Credit risk management framework (continued)

The Grouprsquos organisation structure establishes a clear set of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with

policies procedures and limits

The Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) a management committee chaired by the Chief Executive

(ldquoCErdquo) is responsible for the implementation of the credit risk management strategies as well as the approval of credit

policies It also monitors various aspects of the Grouprsquos loan portfolio such as asset quality risk concentration etc

Various units of the Group have their respective credit risk management responsibilities Business units act as the first

line of defense They are obliged to make thorough assessment on every credit application and are fully responsible for

monitoring credit performance and punctual repayments The business activities conducted should also comply with the

credit policies and procedures The risk management units which are independent from the business units have the

primary responsibilities for providing an independent due diligence and identifying measuring monitoring and

controlling credit risk They report directly to the CLMC RMC and CE

The Board of Directors is the ultimate source of credit authority The Board of Directors delegates credit approval

authority to the CE The CE can further delegate to the subordinates within the limit authorized by the Board of Directors

The Group sets the limits of credit approval authority according to business nature rating the level of transaction risk

and the extent of the credit exposure

Credit risk measurement and control

In view of the rapidly changing market conditions the Group has been continuously revisiting its credit strategies and

conducting rigorous reviews on the concerned portfolios

Loans and advances

Different credit approval and control procedures are adopted according to level of risk associated with the customer

counterparty or transaction All credit applications are subject to thorough risk assessment and proper approval In

general most of the credit applications will be reviewed and assessed by independent officer(s) of risk management

unit(s) before approval with exceptions given to certain designated products which satisfy certain conditions These

designated loans will be (randomly) reviewed by designated unit(s) which is(are) independent from the front line

business units after funding being drawn Corporate and financial institution credit applications are independently

reviewed and objectively assessed by risk management units Obligor ratings and facility grades are assigned to these

portfolios Retail internal ratings systems are used in risk assessment of retail credit transactions including small

business retail exposures residential mortgage loans and personal loans Loan grades obligor ratings as well as loss

estimates (if applicable) are used to support credit approval

43

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

41 Credit Risk (continued)

Credit risk measurement and control (continued)

Loans and advances (continued)

The Group also uses loan grades obligor ratings and loss estimates (if applicable) to support credit monitoring analysis

and reporting For corporate and financial institution more frequent rating review and closer monitoring are required for

riskier customers For retail exposures monthly updated ratings and loss estimates are used for credit monitoring on a

portfolio basis More comprehensive review is required for obligors being identified under high-risk pools

The Group has established credit master scale for internal rating purpose which is in compliance with the Banking

(Capital) Rules on rating structure and can be mapped to Standard amp Poorrsquos external ratings

In addition to obligor ratings the Group adopts a facility rating system (in the case of corporate and bank exposure) and

expected loss (in the case of retail exposures) to assess the risk in the facility structure during credit approval This two-

dimensional rating approach to evaluate credit risk complies with the HKMArsquos requirements on IRB

Regular credit management information reports and ad hoc reports are provided to the Management RMC and Board

of Directors to facilitate their continuous monitoring of credit risk

The Group identifies credit concentration risk by industry geography customer and counterparty risk The Group

monitors changes to counterparties credit risk quality of the credit portfolio and risk concentrations and reports

regularly to the Management

The Group continues to adopt loan grading criteria which divides credit assets into 5 categories with reference to

HKMArsquos guidelines

ldquoPassrdquo represents loans where the borrower is current in meeting its repayment obligations and full repayment of

interest and principal is not in doubt

ldquoSpecial Mentionrdquo represents loans where the borrowers are experiencing difficulties which may threaten the Grouprsquos

position Ultimate loss is not expected at this stage but could occur if adverse conditions persist

ldquoSubstandardrdquo represents loans where the borrower displays a definable weakness that is likely to jeopardise

repayment

ldquoDoubtfulrdquo represents loans where collection in full is improbable and the Group expects to sustain a loss of principal

andor interest taking into account the net realisable value of the collateral

ldquoLossrdquo represents loans which are considered uncollectible after all collection options (such as the realisation of

collateral or the institution of legal proceedings) have been exhausted

Debt securities and derivatives

For investments in debt securities and securitisation assets the obligor ratings or external credit ratings assessment of

the underlying assets and credit limits setting on customersecurity issuer basis are used for managing credit risk

associated with the investment For derivatives the Group sets customer limits to manage the credit risk involved and

follows the same approval and control processes as loans and advances On-going monitoring and stop-loss

procedures are established

Settlement risk arises mainly from foreign exchange transactions with counterparties and also from derivatives in any

situation where a payment in cash securities or equities is made in the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash

securities or equities Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to cover all settlement risk arising

from the Grouprsquos transactions on any single day

Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements

The valuation and management of collateral have been documented in the policy covering acceptance criteria validity

of collateral loan-to-value ratio haircut ratio valuation and insurance etc The collateral is revalued on a regular basis

though the frequency and the method used varies with the type of collateral involved and the nature and the risk of the

underlying credit The Group has established a mechanism to update the value of its main type of collateral real estate

properties with the use of public indices on a portfolio basis Collateral is insured with the Group as the beneficiary

For loans guaranteed by a third party the Group will assess the guarantorrsquos financial condition credit history and ability

to meet obligations

(A) Credit exposures

The maximum exposure is a worst case scenario of credit risk exposure to the Group without taking account of any

collateral held or other credit enhancements For on-balance sheet assets the maximum exposure to credit risk

equals their carrying amount For letters of guarantee issued the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum

amount that the Group could be required to pay if the guarantees are called upon For loan commitment and other

credit related liabilities the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities

The nature of the collateral held and other credit enhancements and their financial effect to the different classes of

the Grouprsquos financial assets are as follows

Balances and placements with banks and other financial institutions

These exposures are generally considered to be low risk due to the nature of the counterparties Collateral is

generally not sought on these assets

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and investment in securities

Collateral is generally not sought on debt securities

Derivative financial instruments

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement is the preferred agreement for documenting

derivatives activities of the Group It provides the contractual framework within which dealing activities across a full

range of OTC products are conducted and contractually bind both parties to apply close-out netting across all

outstanding transactions covered by an agreement if either party defaults or another pre-agreed termination event

occurs

Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and commitments

The general types of collateral are disclosed on page 45 Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and

commitments are collateralised to the extent considered appropriate by the Group taking account of the risk

assessment of individual exposures The collateral coverage of advances to customers is analysed on pages 58 to

61 The components and nature of contingent liabilities and commitments are disclosed in Note 38 Regarding the

commitments that are unconditionally cancellable without prior notice the Group would assess the necessity to

withdraw the credit line in case where the credit quality of a borrower deteriorates Accordingly these commitments

do not expose the Group to significant credit risk

Advances with a specific repayment date are classified as overdue when the principal or interest is past due and

remains unpaid Advances repayable by regular instalments are classified as overdue when an instalment payment

is past due and remains unpaid Advances repayable on demand are classified as overdue either when a demand for

repayment has been served on the borrower but repayment has not been made in accordance with the instruction or

when the advances have remained continuously outside the approved limit that was advised to the borrower

A financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of

impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated

future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated

(B) Gross advances and other accounts (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as

the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the

financial asset Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes observable data that comes to the

attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include

- Significant financial difficulty incurred by the borrower

- A breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

- For economic or legal reasons related to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty the Group has granted to the borrower a

concession that it would not otherwise consider

- Probable that the borrower will become bankrupt or undergo other financial reorganisation or

- Other observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such

loans and advances

positions held by the Group are covered by STM

- debt securities held and interest-rate-related contracts for trading purposes and

- exchange rate-related contracts

The Grouprsquos trading book market risk arises from trading positions taken from customer-related business and proprietary

trading in the above-mentioned financial instruments which are subject to daily marked-to-market valuation The risk

includes potential losses arising from changes in foreign exchange and interest rates

are responsible for monitoring the market risk profile and compliance of management policies and limits of the Group to

ensure that overall and individual market risks are within the Grouprsquos acceptable level Independent units are assigned to

monitor the risk exposure against risk limits on a daily basis together with profit and loss reports submitted to the

Management on a regular basis while exceptions to limits should be reported at once when they occur

(A) Currency risk

To ensure the currency risk exposure of the Group is kept to an acceptable level risk limits (eg position and loss

limit) are used to serve as a monitoring tool Moreover the Group seeks to minimize the gap between asset and

liability in the same currency Foreign exchange contracts (eg FX swap) are usually used to manage FX risk

associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities

Sensitivity analysis to foreign exchange risk exposure (Non Structural)

At 31 December 2011 the majority of the net positions of the Group and the Bank were denominated in US dollar

and Renminbi therefore the Group and the Bank do not expose to significant foreign exchange risk other than US

dollar and Renminbi If US dollar and Renminbi exchange rate had changed by 1 with other variables held

constant profit after tax for the year of the Group and the Bank would have been changed by HK$7705000 (2010

HK$1007000) and HK$7026000 (2010 HK$481000) respectively

(B) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk means the risks to a bankrsquos earnings and economic value arising from adverse movements in

interest rate and term structures of the bankrsquos asset and liability positions The Grouprsquos interest rate risk exposures

are mainly structural The major types of interest rate risk from structural positions are

- Repricing risk - mismatches in the maturity or repricing periods of assets and liabilities

- Basis risk - different pricing basis for different transactions so that the yield on assets and cost of liabilities may

change by different amounts within the same repricing period

- Yield curve risk - non-parallel shifts in the yield curve that may have an adverse impact on net interest income or

economic value

- Option risk - exercise of the options embedded in assets liabilities or off-balance sheet items that can cause a

change in the cashflows of assets and liabilities

The Group has formulated ldquoInterest Rate Risk Management Policiesrdquo which set out the framework and methodologies

to identify measure monitor and control interest rate risk

Both the members of the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ldquoALCOrdquo) and RMC are responsible for interest

rate risk management ALCO maintains oversight of interest rate risk and RMC sanctions the interest rate risk

management policies formulated by ALCO The interest rate risk is identified and measured on a weekly basis The

Finance Department manages the interest rate risk according to the established policies and assigns the Financial

Management Division to monitor the related risks closely and to report the results to ALCO regularly

Gap analysis is one of the tools used to measure the Grouprsquos exposure to repricing risk This provides the Group with

a static view of the maturity and repricing characteristics of its balance sheet positions The Group uses interest rate

derivatives to hedge its interest rate exposures and in most cases plain vanilla interest rate swaps are used

42 Market Risk (continued)

(B) Interest rate risk (continued)

Sensitivities of net interest income and economic value to interest rate changes are assessed through a hypothetical

interest rate shock of 200 basis points across the yield curve on both sides Sensitivity of net interest income is

controlled within an approved percentage of the projected net interest income for the year whereas sensitivity of

economic value is confined to a percentage of the latest capital base both measures are sanctioned by RMC The

results are reported to ALCO and RMC on a regular basis

The impact of basis risk is gauged by the projected change in net interest income under scenarios of imperfect

correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different instruments

Stress test on yield curve risk is performed to assess the impact on economic value due to the steepening or

flattening of the yield curve The impact of options embedded in demand and savings deposits and prepayment of

mortgage loans is also assessed under different stress test scenarios

The interest rate risk exposures in the Group are controlled through the use of limits

1 Net Interest Income sensitivity ratio

2 Economic Value sensitivity ratio

3 Repricing Mismatch Gap limits

Before launching a new product or business the relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying interest rate risk and consideration of the adequacy of current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on interest rate risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

The Group is principally exposed to HKD USD and RMB in terms of interest rate risk The following example

illustrates how the Grouprsquos stress test is performed As at 31 December 2011 if HKD USD and RMB market interest

rates had been 100 basis points higher with other variables held constant the impacts on net interest income over

the next twelve months and on reserves for the Group and the Bank would have been as follows

Impact on net interest income over the next

twelve months at 31 December Impact on reserves

The overall positive impact (HKD USD and RMB combined) on net interest income is similar to 2010 The increase

in positive earnings impact of HKD and USD is met by the fall in RMB Reserves would have been reduced

because of the expected reduction in valuation of available-for-sale portfolio due to the above simulated market

rates movement The reduction of reserves is larger compared with 2010 because the size and duration of

available-for-sale portfolio is increased

To construct stressful scenarios severe assumptions are made including a change in the correlation between HK

dollar and US dollar interest rates parallel movement of interest rates for the banking book positions of all repricing

or maturity dates In the absence of actions that would be taken to mitigate the impact of interest rates shock all

positions are assumed to run to maturity and reprice or mature simultaneously within a given time band

43 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to fund increases in assets meet obligations as they fall due or

take strategic opportunity without incurring unacceptable losses

Liquidity risk management framework

The liquidity risk management framework of the Group comprises three levels The Board of Directors and the RMC

are the ultimate decision making authority and are responsible for the compliance with regulatory requirements

Formulation of the risk management procedures and implementation mechanism and monitoring of the compliance are

mainly responsible by the ALCO Daily management of liquidity is carried out by the Treasury Management Sub-

Committee and the Treasury Division while the Financial Management Division monitors the liquidity risk and provides

regular reports to the Management and local regulatory bodies

The liquidity management process is carried out both at the Group and subsidiary level The principal subsidiaries

execute their daily risk management processes independently subject to risk policies that are consistent with those of

the Group and report to the Grouprsquos Management on a regular basis

The Group has developed a robust liquidity risk management mechanism by maintaining an appropriate size of highly-

liquefiable assets and proper liability structure enabling the Group to meet even under adverse market conditions all

its obligations as they fall due and to fund all its asset growth and strategic opportunities without forced liquidation of

its assets at short notice

At present the Group has set up Key Risk Indicators such as 1-month liquidity ratio and loan-to-deposit ratio The

indicators are used as the major tools in the identification measurement monitoring and control of the liquidity risk on

regular basis by setting limits assessing and monitoring the ratios Besides the Group also monitors deposit stability

concentration of deposits from large depositors and liquidity profile of the investment portfolio

43 Liquidity Risk (continued)

Liquidity risk management framework (continued)

The related risk management process includes

- Perform cash-flow projections under normal and stressed scenarios using the net mismatch gap between assets and

liabilities to estimate the prospective net funding requirements

- Maintain strong liquidity ratios to comply with both internal and external regulatory requirements

- Maintain a diversified liability base to ensure sufficient funding sources

- Maintain a proper level of highly liquid assets to serve as a liquidity buffer for emergency needs

- Monitor the structure and stability of the deposit portfolio

- Assess the ability to borrow from the inter-bank money market to avoid over-reliance on the money market for funding

- Maintain a proper contingency plan which includes setting early warning signals (including internal indicators and

market indicators) with timely monitoring procedures and establishing a management reporting system and

contingency procedures

Before launching a new product or business relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying liquidity risk and consideration of the adequacy of the current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on liquidity risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

44 Capital Management

The major objective of the Grouprsquos capital management is to maximise total shareholdersrsquo return while maintaining a

capital adequacy position in relation to the Grouprsquos overall risk profile The Group periodically reviews its capital

structure and adjusts the capital mix where appropriate to achieve the required rate of return on capital

The Group has developed and maintained a sound framework of policies and controls on capital management to

support the development of the Grouprsquos business and to meet the statutory capital adequacy ratio ALCO monitors the

Grouprsquos capital adequacy The Group has complied with all the statutory capital standards for all the periods

In prior years the Group adopted the STC approach to calculate credit risk capital charge With the HKMA approval

from 1 January 2011 the Group has migrated to the FIRB approach to calculate the credit risk capital charge for the

majority of its non-securitisation exposures and internal ratings-based (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit

risk capital charge for its securitisation exposures A small residual credit exposures was approved by HKMA to be

exempted from FIRB approach and remained under STC approach

The Group continues to adopt the standardize approach to calculate the capital charges on market risk and operational

risk under Pillar One in compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules in year 2011

In compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules this regulatory capital framework aligns regulatory capital requirements

more closely with the inherent risks Following announcement of the Basel III regulations by Basel Committee the

Group has analyzed the possible impact of the new capital requirements to ensure that the Group plans ahead for the

transition of for the implementation of the new regulations

The Group has established an ICAAP Through this process each material risk associated with the Grouprsquos main

activities is assessed by pre-defined assessment models and a comprehensive judgment of the overall risk profile is

decided subsequently by taking into account the Grouprsquos governance structure risk management quality internal

control environment and capital strength Finally the minimum CAR is derived through the procedures to relate the

Grouprsquos overall risk profile to its capital adequacy The minimum CAR aims to cover the various material risks

undertaken by the Group The Group considers this ICAAP process as an on-going process for capital management

and periodically reviews and adjusts its capital structure in relation to the overall risk profile

In addition the annual capital plan of the Group is drawn up and discussed by the ALCO and submitted to the Board for

approval The plan is built up by assessing the impacts by various factors upon CAR such as the business strategies

return on equity risk appetite credit rating as well as regulatory requirements and based on this study to derive our

future capital demand and the way to obtain the capital sources The plan is to ensure the Grouprsquos capital adequacy

and achieve optimal capital structure in order to align with our business development and risk profile

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

(A) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information

about various financial instruments The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair

value of each class of financial instrument as far as practicable

Balances with banks and other financial institutions and Trade bills

The maturities of these financial assets and liabilities are within one year and the carrying value approximates fair

value

Advances to customers banks and other financial institutions

Substantially all the advances to customers banks and other financial institutions are on floating rate terms bear

interest at prevailing market interest rates Their carrying value approximates fair value

Held-to-maturity securities

Fair value for held-to-maturity securities is based on market prices or brokerdealer price quotations Where this

information is not available fair value has been estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar

credit maturity and yield characteristics Their carrying value approximates fair value

Loans and receivables

A discounted cash flow model is used based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity

and their carrying value approximates fair value

Deposits from customers Substantially all the deposits from customers mature within one year from the balance sheet date and their carrying

value approximates fair value

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(B) Financial instruments measured at fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into following three levels

ndash Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including certain foreign

exchange derivative contracts

ndash Level 2 Valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for

the asset or liability either directly or indirectly This level includes the majority of the OTC derivative contracts

debt securities with quote from pricing services providers

ndash Level 3 Valuation technique using inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data

(unobservable inputs) This level includes equity investment and debt instruments with significant unobservable

components

The Group uses valuation techniques or brokerdealer quotations to determine the fair value of financial

instruments when unable to obtain the open market quotation in active markets

The main parameters used in valuation techniques for financial instruments held by the Group include bond prices

interest rates foreign exchange rates equity and stock prices volatilities counterparty credit spreads and others

which are all observable and obtainable from open market

For certain illiquid debt securities and unlisted private equity held by the Group Management obtains valuation

quotations from counterparties The fair value of these financial instruments may be based on unobservable inputs

which may have significant impact on the valuation of these financial instruments and therefore these instruments

have been classified by the Group as level 3 The Group has established internal control procedures to control the

Grouprsquos exposure to such financial instruments

22 Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into the following exchange rate interest rate and precious metal related derivative financial instrument

contracts for trading and risk management purposes

Currency forwards represent commitments to purchase and sell foreign currency on a future date

Currency and interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another Swaps result in an

exchange of currencies interest rates (for example fixed rate for floating rate) or a combination of all these (for example

cross-currency interest rate swaps) Except for certain currency swap contracts no exchange of principal takes place

Foreign currency options are contractual agreements under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right

but not the obligation either to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) at or by a set date or during a set period a specific

amount of the financial instrument at a predetermined price In consideration for the assumption of foreign exchange and

interest rate risk the seller receives a premium from the purchaser Options are negotiated over-the-counter (ldquoOTCrdquo)

between the Group and its counterparty

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the

following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the

balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the

consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the

current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The

derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign

exchange rates market interest rates or metal prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial

instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

The credit risk weighted amounts are calculated in accordance with the Banking (Capital) Rules The amounts are

dependent upon the status of the counterparty and the maturity characteristics of each type of contract

The Group adopted the FIRB approach to calculate credit risk exposures as at 31 December 2011 as opposed to the STC

approach that was used as at 31 December 2010 As a result of the change in the basis used the risk weighted amounts

shown above are not directly comparable

There is no effect of valid bilateral netting agreement on the fair values or the credit risk weighted amounts of the derivative

41 Litigation

The Group is currently being served a number of claims and counterclaims by various independent parties These claims

and counterclaims are in relation to the normal commercial activities of the Group

No material provision was made against these claims and counterclaims because the directors believe that the Group has

meritorious defences against the claimants or the amounts involved in these claims are not expected to be material

42 Segmental reporting

(a) By class of business

The Group has changed the charge on inter-segment funding from the corresponding money market rates to money

market rates adjusted with pre-determined margins this year These margins reflect differentiation based on product

features Meanwhile corporate bonds were reclassified from Corporate Banking to Treasury to align with the

corresponding change in the product management No change has been made to the comparative figures However if

the same mechanismclassification were applied for last year it is estimated that the net interest income of Personal

Banking Corporate Banking and Treasury would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$

+227219000 -302924000 and +75705000 respectively Moreover a net trading loss of HK$124141000 and a

net gain of HK$40617000 on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss which were

generated from corporate bonds would be shifted from Corporate Banking to Treasury

The Group divides its business into four classes Personal Banking Corporate Banking Treasury and Investment

Both Personal Banking business and Corporate Banking business provide general banking services Personal

Banking serves individual customers while Corporate Banking deals with non-individual customers The Treasury

segment is responsible for managing the capital liquidity and the interest rate and foreign exchange positions of the

Group in addition to proprietary trades It provides funds to other business segments and receives funds from deposit

taking activities of Personal Banking and Corporate Banking These inter-segment funding is charged according to the

internal funds transfer pricing mechanism of the Group The assets and liabilities of Treasury have not been adjusted

to reflect the effect of inter-segment borrowing and lending (ie the profit and loss information in relation to Treasury is

not comparable to the assets and liabilities information about Treasury)

Investment includes bank premises and equipment used by supporting units Charges are paid to this segment from

other business segments based on market rates per square foot for their occupation of the Grouprsquos premises The

exchange difference arising from capital of our subsidiary Nanyang Commercial Bank (China) Limited is recognised

in its income statement is also included in this class

ldquoOthersrdquo refers to other group operations and mainly comprises of items related to the Group as a whole and totally

independent of the other four business segments

Revenues and expenses of any business segment mainly include items directly attributable to the segment For

management overheads allocations are made on reasonable bases In this year a more detailed and comprehensive

cost allocation mechanism was adopted No change has been made to the comparative figures However if the same

mechanism were applied for last year it is estimated that the operating expenses of Personal Banking Corporate

Banking Treasury investment and Others would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$ -

101583000 +106943000 +99348000 -59328000 and -45380000 respectively

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach

31 The internal rating systems and risk components

The Group adopts the FIRB approach to calculate the regulatory capital requirements for most of the corporate and bank

exposures and adopts the supervisory slotting criteria approach to project finance exposures under specialised lending

The Group adopts retail IRB approach for retail exposures to individuals and small business The following is the table

showing the different capital calculation approaches to each asset class

Other items Specific Risk-weight Approach

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

The internal rating system is a two dimensional rating system that provides separate assessment of borrower and

transaction characteristics For corporate and bank portfolios the obligor rating reflects exclusively the risk of borrower

default and the facility rating reflects transaction specific factors that affect the loss severity in the case of borrower

default Expected Losses are also calculated in the retail IRB portfolios to reflect the risk of loss in credit decisions

All the corporate and bank borrowers are assigned into eight broad obligor ratings including seven grades for non-

defaulted obligors with sub-divisions into 26 minor credit grades and one grade for defaulted obligors All credit

transactions for corporates and banks are assigned into 21 facility grades In the supervisory slotting criteria approach

for the project finance exposures there are four grades for non-defaulted borrowers and one for defaulted borrowers in

accordance with the HKMA guidance

The Group uses internal rating system to assess the borrowers likelihood of default for all IRB portfolios PD is

measured to reflect the risk of borrower default over a one-year period A borrower rating means a category of credit-

worthiness to which borrowers are assigned on the basis of a specified and distinct set of rating criteria from which

estimates of PD are derived

31 The internal rating systems and risk components (continued)

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

(continued)

In the process of obligor rating assignment variables of latest financial performance management quality industry

risks and group connection of each obligor are assessed as critical factors to predict borrowers ability and willingness

to meet with the contractually obligations under different economic conditions The internal rating tools employ

statistical and analytical techniques for the final rating assignment

The Group adopted statistical models to provide own estimated PD LGD and EAD for exposures arising from

residential mortgages to both individuals and property-holding shell companies qualifying revolving retail exposures

and other retail exposures to individuals and small business retail exposures The PD reflects the risk of borrower

default over a one-year period while the EAD and LGD estimates reflect the loss severity of its credit exposures Each

of retail exposures is pooled by nature of obligors facility types collateral types and delinquency status This grouping

process provides the basis of accurate and consistent estimation for PD LGD and EAD at the pool level

For each internal rating the equivalent external rating in terms of default risk is as below

(B) Use of internal estimates

The estimates of risk components derived from internal rating models are not only used in the calculation of regulatory

capital but also in many other areas including credit approval credit monitoring reporting and analysis of credit risk

information etc

(C) Process of managing and recognising credit risk mitigation

For those collaterals recognised under capital management the Group has well-defined policies and procedures for

collateral valuation and management which are compliant with the operational requirements for recognised collateral

for credit risk mitigation as stated in the Banking (Capital) Rules

For credit exposures adopting FIRB approach for capital calculation purpose the recognised eligible guarantees

include the guarantees provided by banks and securities firms with a lower risk weights than the counterparty and

corporate with internal credit ratings which is equivalent to external credit rating A- or above The Group takes into

account the credit risk mitigation effect of recognised collaterals through its determination of the net credit exposures

and the effective LGD

For retail IRB approach the effect of the credit risk mitigation is incorporated into the internal risk parameters of PD or

LGD depending on the nature of the guarantees and collaterals for calculating the risk exposures

The credit and market risk concentrations within the credit risk mitigation (recognised collateral and guarantees for

capital calculation) used by the Group are under a low level

Up to the date of report the Group has not used any recognised credit derivative contracts on- or off-balance sheet

recognised netting for credit risk mitigation yet

(D) The control mechanisms used for internal rating systems

The Group has established a comprehensive mechanism to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the

rating systems including the estimation processes for the risk components

All of IRB risk measurement models are approved by the Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) and

Risk Management Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) of the Board

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (continued)

31 The internal ratings system and risk components (continued)

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

To achieve reasonably accurate risk ratings assignment the Group has established the rating approval process which

is independent from the sales and marketing units Since the internal ratings is one of the key inputs to the making of

credit decisions a control mechanism is in place to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the rating

assignment For the wholesale (corporate and banks) portfolio internal ratings are normally approved by credit officers

who are functionally separated from sales and marketing units In some cases where the transactions are small

amount or low risk ratings can be assigned and approved by staff within sales and marketing activities subject to post-

approval review by credit risk management unit

The rating assignment and risk quantification process of retail portfolio is highly automated As an integral part of the

daily credit assessment process the accuracy and completeness of the data input for automatic rating assignment is

verified by units independent from business development function

The performance of internal ratings system is under ongoing periodic monitoring The senior management periodically

reviews the performance and predictive ability of the internal rating system The effectiveness of the internal rating

system and processes are reviewed by independent control functions (including model validation unit) and internal

audit The results of the review are reported to the Board and senior management regularly

A model validation team which is independent from the model development unit and rating assignment units conducts

periodic model validations Model acceptance standards are established to ensure the discriminatory power accuracy

and stability of the rating systems Reviews of rating models are triggered if the performance of a model deteriorates

materially against predetermined tolerant limits

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

The obligor rating assignment is reviewed at least annually as required by the Grouprsquos credit risk policy When credit

events occur to the obligor rating review is triggered promptly in accordance with the Grouprsquos credit risk policy

Rating override process is designed to allow the credit analyst to include any other relevant credit information that has

not already been captured in the rating process The overrides are unlimited in terms of downgrades for reasons of

conservatism and prudential consideration Overrides to better grades (upgrades) are however more confined All

upgrades will be limited to a maximum of two sub-grades with a pre-defined list of appropriate reasons All overrides

need to be signed off by a higher level of credit approval authority The internal rating policy sets a maximum limit of

10 of rating cases for overrides The use of overrides and override reasons are analysed as part of rating system

performance review

(E) Approach for determining provisions

The approach in determining provisions is in line with the Grouprsquos accounting policies For details please refer to Note

It should be noted that actual loss and expected loss are measured and calculated using different methodologies which

compliant to relevant regulatory and accounting standards which are therefore not directly comparable The limitation

arises mainly from the fundamental differences in the definition of ldquolossrdquo The expected loss under Basel II which estimates

the economic loss arising from the potential default of the obligor by taking into account the time value of money and

including the direct and indirect costs associated with the recoveries on the credit exposures while actual loss is the net

individually assessed impairment charges and write-offs made during the year in accordance with the accounting

standards

The actual default rate (actual PD) is measured by using the number of obligors (for wholesale exposures) or number of

accounts (for retail exposures) defaulted whereas the estimated probability of default (estimated PD) is the long run

average default rate over an economic cycle and is the estimated one-year forward-looking PD estimated from the

beginning of the reporting period

Hence actual PD in a particular year (ldquopoint-in-timerdquo) will typically differ from the estimated PD which is the ldquothrough-the-

cyclerdquo estimate as economies move above or below the cyclical norms

The estimated PD is more conservative than the actual default rate for most asset classes

4 Credit risk under the standardised (credit risk) approach

41 Ratings from External Credit Assessment Institutions (ldquoECAIrdquo)

The ECAIs recognised by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch The Group continues to adopt STC

approach based on external ratings to determine the risk weight of the following asset classes of exposures

- Sovereign

- Public sector entity

- Multilateral development bank

The Group performs the ECAI issuer ratings mapping to its exposures in the banking book in accordance with Part 4 of

the Banking (Capital) Rules

42 Credit risk mitigation

For credit exposures adopting STC approach the main types of recognised collaterals include cash deposits debt

securities and shares for non past-due exposures In addition real estate collateral is also recognised for past due

exposures Those collaterals taken by the Group are compliant with the comprehensive approach in its treatment of

recognised collateral for credit risk mitigation in capital calculation as mentioned in the Banking (Capital) Rules For credit

exposures under STC approach the recognised guarantees for capital calculation include the guarantee given by

sovereigns public sector entities multilateral development banks with a lower risk weight than the counterparty and

corporate with external rating of A- or above

5 Counterparty credit risk-related exposures

The Grouprsquos counterparty credit risk arising from OTC derivative transactions repo-style transactions both in trading and

banking book is subject to the same risk management framework as mentioned in Note 4 to the Financial Statements The

Group establishes credit limit through formal credit approval procedures to control the pre-settlement credit risk arising from

OTC derivatives transactions and settlement limit to control the settlement risk arising from foreign exchange-related

transactions in both the trading book and banking book The Group monitors the risk exposure due to fluctuations in the

market by using the current exposure and the potential exposure value of the transactions Exceptions or excesses are timely

and closely identified and monitored by credit risk management units

Currently the Group uses the Current Exposure Method to measure and monitor the counterparty credit exposures which

comprises current exposures and potential future exposures

The Group establishes prudent eligibility criteria and haircut policy of debt securities being pledged as collateral for repo-style

transactions

The Group formulates policy for classification of credit assets according to the PD of individual counterparty and the period of

overdue If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred impairment allowance will be provided

according to HKFRS and regulatory requirements

6 Assets securitisation

The Group has not acted as an originating institution for the issuance of securitisation transactions business during the year

Securitisation exposures arise from the Grouprsquos investing activities and the related exposures are commercial mortgage loans

As an investing institution the Group has adopted the IRB approach to calculate the credit risk for asset securitisations in 2011

In prior years the Group adopted the standardised (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit risk for securitisation

exposures

The ECAIs used by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch

9 Equity exposures in banking book

Equity holdings in other entities are accounted for in accordance with the underlying intentions of holdings at the inception of

acquisition The classifications for equity holdings taken for relationship and strategic purposes will be separated from those

taken for other purposes (including capital appreciation) Investments in equity shares which are intended to be held on a

continuing basis but which do not comprise investments in subsidiaries are classified as available-for-sale securities and are

reported in the balance sheet as investments in securities

For equity exposures in banking book other than subsidiaries the Group applies the same accounting treatment and

valuation methodologies as detailed in the Notes 29(4) and 212 to the Financial Statements If additional investment is made

subsequently such that an investee becomes an associate jointly controlled entity or subsidiary then the investment is

reclassified in accordance with the Grouprsquos accounting policies

Management of Risks

The Overview

The principal types of risk inherent in the business of the Group include credit risk liquidity risk market risk interest rate risk

foreign exchange risk and operational risk The Grouprsquos risk management goal is to maximise shareholder value by managing risk

exposures within our acceptance level

Risk Management Structure

The Bankrsquos Board of Directors (the ldquoBoardrdquo) holds the ultimate responsibility for the Grouprsquos overall risk management It

determines the risk management strategies and the risk management structure

To achieve the Grouprsquos goals in risk management the Board sets up the Risk Management Committee which comprises of

independent non-executive directors to oversee the Grouprsquos various types of risks and approve the high-level risk management

policies

According to the risk management strategies established by the Board risk management policies and controls are devised and

reviewed regularly by relevant departments and respective management committees chaired by the Chief Executive (the ldquoCErdquo)

The Risk Management Units develop policies and procedures for identifying measuring monitoring and controlling credit risk

market risk operational risk reputation risk legal and compliance risk interest rate risk liquidity risk and strategic risk to set

appropriate risk limits and to continually monitor risks

The Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management policies and

controls to ensure that the Group is operating according to the established policies procedures and limits

Independence is crucial to effective risk management To ensure the independence of the Risk Management Department and the

Auditing Department they report directly to the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Committee respectively Both

committees are specialised committees set up by the Board and all members are directors of the Bank

Details of management of credit risk are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(ii) Liquidity risk management

Details of liquidity risk management are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(iii) Market risk management

Details of market risk management are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements

(iv) Operational risk management

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes staff and information technology

system or from external events The risk is inherent in every aspect of operations The Board recognises operational risk as

a distinct risk category that should be managed with full attention and should be kept up with the best practice of the industry

The Group has formulated and implemented the Operational Risk Management Policy which provides a bank-wide

classification of operational risks and sets out the requirements on risk identification assessment reporting monitoring and

mitigation

To ensure operational risks being under proper monitoring and supervision effective internal control system has been

enforced by means of computer systems and rigorous procedures In addition through coaching and frequent training the

Group has maintained teams of experienced and competent staff in all business and management areas to execute and

monitor the operations of the Group

The Grouprsquos policies and procedures will be reviewed vigilantly and updated in accordance with the new promulgated

requirements from time to time Furthermore the Auditing Department performs independent checking to ascertain that the

procedures are properly followed and reports discrepancies found directly to the Audit Committee

In order to meet regulatory bodiesrsquo requirements and to facilitate the implementation of operational risk management

framework a dedicated division in the Risk Management Department monitors collects analyzes reports the records and

details of the operational risk losses and incidents

The Group has reviewed and enhanced the Business Continuity Plan of all critical banking services To ensure practicality of

the plan drill on contingency plans on certain critical business functions has been duly performed annually and the result was

satisfactory

erosion public reprimand or severe regulatory sanctions Reputation risk is inherent in every aspect of the Grouprsquos business

operation and covers a wide spectrum of issues Market rumors or public perceptions are significant factors in determining

the level of risk in this category

In order to mitigate reputation risk the Group has formulated and implemented - Reputation Risk Management Policy which

establishes standards to prevent and to manage reputation risk proactively at an early stage In order to eliminate or alleviate

the negative impact on the Grouprsquos reputation incidents related to reputation risk are handled promptly in accordance with

the Business Continuity Plan and Negative Incident Response Mechanism

In addition precautionary measures have been taken and special attention has been drawn in the combat of the Anti-Money

Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing activities Specific procedure manuals and self-checking compliance list have been

issued and trainings have been provided to all staff to stipulate the Grouprsquos policy and stance in order to prevent the Grouprsquos

services being used by the villains for illegal activities

(vi) Legal and compliance risk management

Legal risk is the risk that unenforceable contracts lawsuits or adverse judgments may disrupt or otherwise negatively affect

Corporate Governance (continued)

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism

1 Performance Management Mechanism

To reflect the corporate culture of ldquoAchieving Performance and Effectivenessrdquo the Group has put in place a performance

management mechanism to formalize the performance management at the levels of the Group units and individuals The

annual targets of the Group will be cascaded down under the framework of balanced scorecard whereby the performance

of the senior management and different units (including business units risk control units and other units) would be

assessed from the perspectives of financial customer building blockkey tasks human capital risk management and

compliance As to the performance management of individual staff at different levels the annual targets of the Group will

be tied to the job requirements of different posts at different levels through the model of level-based performance

management Performance of individuals will be appraised with reference to their accomplishment of work targets

contribution towards overall performance of their corresponding units and compliance of risk management and internal

control policies Under this mechanism not only the target accomplishment has been taken into account the risk

exposure involved during the course of work of a staff member could also be evaluated and managed so as to provide

safeguards to the Group against the risk and ensure normal operations The mechanism is also coupled with the

assessment on system of values thereby facilitating the attainment of the core values of the Group

2 Risk Modification of Remuneration

To implement the principle of aligning the performance and remuneration with the risk based on ldquoThe Risk Adjustment

Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquoof BOCHK the key risk modifiers of the bank have been incorporated into

the performance management mechanism of the Group The size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group is

calculated according to the risk adjusted performance results approved by the Board of BOCHK and is subject to its

discretion In doing so the total amount to be paid to staff as variable remuneration would be determined on the basis of

the risk adjusted performance results This method enables the Group to fix the Grouprsquos Variable Remuneration Pool

after considering risk exposures and changes and to maintain effective risk management through the remuneration

mechanism

ldquoThe Risk Adjustment Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquo consists of ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo and ldquoPost Result Score

Adjustmentrdquo

ldquoRisk Modifier measures the risk factors that are quantifiable and directly linked to the Group financial performance

including credit risk market risk interest rate risk as well as liquidity risk With most of the indicators being quantitative

ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo utilizes both absolute and relative measures and assesses the risk level from both ex-ante and ex-

post perspectives

ldquoPost Result Score Adjustment measures the risk factors that are not quantifiable aiming at the overall adjustment

to the group performance results upon the occurrence of major risk events These risk factors include operational risk

legal and compliance risk as well as reputation risk ldquoPost Result Score Adjustmentrdquo utilizes qualitative measures to

assess the impact of non quantifiable risk factors to the group performance results from ex-post perspective

Corporate Governance (continued)

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

3 Performance-based and Risk-adjusted Remuneration Management

The remuneration of staff is composed of ldquofixed remunerationrdquo and ldquovariable remunerationrdquo the proportion of one to the

other for individual staff members depends on job grades roles responsibilities and functions of the staff with the

prerequisite that balance has to be struck between the fixed and variable portion Generally speaking the higher the job

grades andor the greater the responsibilities the higher will be the proportion of variable remuneration so as to

encourage the staff to follow the philosophy of prudent risk management and sound long-term financial stability

Every year the Group will conduct periodic review on the fixed remuneration of the staff with reference to various factors

like remuneration strategy market pay trend and staff salary level and to determine the remuneration based on the

affordability of the Group as well as the performance of the Group units and individuals As mentioned above

performance assessment criteria include quantitative and qualitative factors as well as financial and non-financial

indicators

According to the Group Bonus Funding Mechanics of BOCHK the size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group

is determined by the Board of BOCHK on the basis of the financial performance of the Group and the achievement of

non-financial strategic business targets under the long-term development of the BOCHK Group Thorough consideration

is also made to the risk factors in the determination process The size of the Pool is reached based on pre-defined

formulaic calculations but the Board of BOCHK can make discretionary adjustment to it if deemed appropriate under

prevailing circumstances When the BOCHK group performance is relatively weak (eg failed to meet the threshold

performance level) no variable remuneration will be paid out that year in principle however the Board of BOCHK owns

the rights of discretionary decision

As far as individual units and individual staff are concerned allocation of the variable remuneration is closely linked to the

performance of the units and that of each individual staff as well as the unit heshe is attaching to the assessment of

which should include risk modifiers The performance and remuneration arrangement of risk control personnel are

determined by the achievements of their core job responsibilities independent from the business they oversee for front-

line risk controllers a matrix reporting and performance management system is applied to ensure the suitability of

performance-based remuneration Within the acceptable risk level of the Group the better the performance of the unit

and the individual staff the higher will be the variable remuneration for the individual staff

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

4 Linking the payout of the variable remuneration with the time horizon of the risk to reflect the long-term value

creation of the Group

To work out the principle of aligning remuneration with the time horizon of risk and to ensure that sufficient time is

allowed to ascertain the associated risk and its impact before the actual payout payout of the variable remuneration of

staff is required to be deferred in cash if such amount reaches certain prescribed threshold The Group adopts a

progressive approach towards deferral The longer the time horizon of risk in the activities conducted by the staff the

higher the job grade or the higher amount of the variable remuneration the higher will be the proportion of deferral

Deferral lasts for 3 years

The vesting of the deferred variable remuneration is linked with the long term value creation of the Group The vesting

conditions are linked to the yearly performance (financial and non-financial) of the BOCHK Group in the next 3 years to

the effect that the variable remuneration could only be vested to such extent as set for the relevant year in that 3-year

period subject to the condition that the BOCHK Grouprsquos performance has met the threshold requirement in the

corresponding year In case of material revision of the original estimates of the performance of the Group or individual

units or if a staff is found to commit fraud or found to be of malfeasance or in violation of internal control policies the

unvested portion of the deferred variable remuneration of the relevant staff will be clawed back

Advances are impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the advances that can be reliably estimated If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on advances has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the advances Objective evidence that advances are impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the condensed consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates market interest rates metal prices or equity prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF Nanyang Commercial Bank Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 1 to 100 which comprises the condensed consolidated balance

sheet of Nanyang Commercial Bank Limited (the ldquoBankrdquo) and its subsidiaries (together the ldquoGrouprdquo) as at 30 June 2012 and the

related condensed consolidated income statement the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income the condensed

consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six-month period then

ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes The directors of the Bank are responsible for

the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim

Financial Reportingrdquo Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to

report our conclusion solely to you as a body in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose We do

not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ldquoReview of Interim Financial

Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entityrdquo issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants A

review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting

matters and applying analytical and other review procedures A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in

accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become

aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared

in all material respects in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim Financial Reportingrdquo

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKAS 1 (Revised) lsquoPresentation of Financial Statementsrsquo The amendments to HKAS 1 (Revised) require companies

preparing financial statements in accordance with HKFRSs to group together items within other comprehensive

income (OCI) that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement The amendments also

reaffirm existing requirements that items in OCI and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or

two consecutive statements The adoption of this revised standard will affect the presentation of the Grouprsquos statement

of comprehensive income

bull HKAS 19 (2011) lsquoEmployee Benefitsrsquo The revised standard mainly amends the part related to accounting for

changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets and related presentation and disclosure The amendments do

not have significant impact on the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial

Statementsrsquo

bull HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo Please refer to the below on HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint

Arrangementsrsquo

bull HKAS 32 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Presentation ndash Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The amendment addresses inconsistencies in current practice when applying the offsetting criteria and clarifies the

meaning of lsquocurrently has a legally enforceable right of set-offrsquo and the application of offsetting criteria to some gross

settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) that may be considered equivalent to net settlement The

Group is considering the financial impact of the amendment

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transfer of Financial Assetsrsquo The amendment

introduces new quantitative disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets that are either fully derecognised

or derecognised not in their entirety The adoption of this amendment will affect the disclosures of the Grouprsquos financial

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesrsquo

The new disclosures which are similar to the new US GAAP disclosure requirements would provide users with

information that is useful in (i) evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entityrsquos financial

position and (ii) analysing and comparing financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs and US GAAP The

adoption of this amended standard will affect the disclosure of the Grouprsquos financial statements

bull HKFRS 7 (Amendment) lsquoFinancial Instruments Disclosures - Transition to IFRS 9rsquo The amendments provide relief

from the requirement to restate comparative financial statements which was originally available only to entities that

chose to apply HKFRS 9 prior to 2012 Instead additional transition disclosures will be required to help users to better

understand the effect of initial application of the standard

bull HKFRS 9 lsquoFinancial Instrumentsrsquo The first part of HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and will replace those

parts of HKAS 39 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets In November 2010 a further

pronouncement was published to address financial liabilities and derecognition Key features are as follows

(i) Classification and Measurement

Financial assets are required to be classified into one of the following measurement categories (1) those to be

measured subsequently at fair value or (2) those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost Classification is

to be made on transition and subsequently on initial recognition The classification depends on the entityrsquos

business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the

instrument

A financial instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instrument and the objective

of the entityrsquos business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows and the assetrsquos contractual

cash flows represent only unleveraged payments of principal and interest All other debt instruments are to be

measured at fair value through profit or loss

All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value Equity instruments that are held for trading will

be measured at fair value through profit or loss For all other equity investments an irrevocable election can be

made at initial recognition to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through other

comprehensive income rather than income statement Once elected to be recognised through other comprehensive

income there will be no reclassification of fair value gains and losses to income statement Dividends are to be

presented in income statement as long as they represent a return on investment

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

(ii) Financial Liabilities and Derecognition

Except for the two substantial changes described below the classification and measurement requirements of

financial liabilities have been basically carried forward with minimal amendments from HKAS 39 For the

derecognition principles they are consistent with that of HKAS 39

The requirements related to the fair value option for financial liabilities were changed to address own credit risk It

requires the amount of change in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial liabilities be

presented in other comprehensive income The remaining amount of the total gain or loss is included in income

statement If this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss then the whole fair value

change is presented in income statement The determination of whether there will be a mismatch will need to be

made at initial recognition of individual liabilities and will not be re-assessed Amounts presented in other

comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to income statement but may be transferred within equity

The standard eliminates the exception from fair value measurement contained in HKAS 39 for derivative liabilities

that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument

The mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 is deferred from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2015 with earlier adoption

still permitted The deferral will make it possible to have the same mandatory effective date for the entire standard

New transitional disclosures are required instead of comparative restatement The Group is considering the

financial impact of the standard and the timing of its application

bull HKFRS 10 lsquoConsolidated Financial Statementsrsquo HKFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of

control as the determining factor when considering whether an entity should be included within the consolidated

financial statements of the parent company The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination

of control where this is difficult to assess It also replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation stipulated in

HKAS 27 (Revised) lsquoConsolidated and Separate Financial Statementsrsquo and HK(SIC)- Int 12 lsquoConsolidation ndash Special

Purpose Entitiesrsquo The remainder of HKAS 27 (Revised) is renamed HKAS 27 (2011) lsquoSeparate Financial Statementsrsquo

as a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements without changing the existing guidance for separate

financial statements

(b) Standards and amendments issued that are not yet mandatorily effective and have not been early adopted by

the Group in 2011 (continued)

bull HKFRS 11 lsquoJoint Arrangementsrsquo Changes in the definitions stipulated in HKFRS 11 have reduced the lsquotypesrsquo of joint

arrangements to two joint operations and joint ventures A joint operation is a joint arrangement that gives parties to

the arrangement direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities The lsquojointly controlled assetsrsquo classification

in HKAS 31 lsquoInterests in Joint Venturesrsquo has been merged into joint operations as both types of arrangements

generally result in the same accounting outcome A joint venture in contrast gives the parties rights to the net assets

or outcome of the arrangement Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with HKAS 28

lsquoInvestments in Associatesrsquo which is renamed as HKAS 28 (2011) lsquoInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesrsquo The

standard is amended to include the requirements of joint ventures accounting and to merge with the requirements of

HK(SIC)-Int 13 lsquoJointly Controlled Entities ndash Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturersrsquo After the application of HKAS

28 (2011) entities can no longer account for an interest in a joint venture using the proportionate consolidation method

bull HKFRS 12 lsquoDisclosure of Interests in Other Entitiesrsquo The standard sets out the required disclosures for entities

reporting under the two new standards HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 11 and the revised standard HKAS 28 (2011) The

existing guidance and disclosure requirements for separate financial statements stipulated in HKAS 27 (Revised) are

unchanged HKFRS 12 requires entities to disclose information that helps financial statements readers to evaluate the

nature risks and financial effects associated with the entityrsquos interests in subsidiaries associates joint arrangements

and unconsolidated structured entities

The above HKFRS 10 HKFRS 11 HKFRS 12 HKAS 27 (2011) and HKAS 28 (2011) issued in June 2011 are a group

of five new standards that address the scope of reporting entity and will supersede HKAS 27 (Revised) HKAS 28

HKAS 31 HK(SIC)-Int 12 and HK(SIC)-Int 13 Earlier application of these standards are permitted but only when they

are applied at the same time The Group is assessing the impact on the financial statements of the Group as a result

of the adoption of these new standards

bull HKFRS 13 lsquoFair Value Measurementrsquo The new standard which was issued in June 2011 replaces the fair value

measurement guidance contained in individual HKFRSs by providing a revised definition of fair value and a single

source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs The requirements do not

extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied when its use is already

required or permitted by other standards within HKFRSs The Group is assessing the impact on the financial

statements of the Group as a result of the adoption of this new standard

(c) Improvements to HKFRS

lsquoImprovements to HKFRSrsquo contains numerous amendments to HKFRS which the HKICPA considers not urgent but

necessary It comprises amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation recognition or measurement

purpose as well as terminology or editorial amendments related to a variety of individual HKFRS Most of the

amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 For amendments that are effective for

the financial year beginning on 1 January 2011 there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Group

(d) Amendment issued that is not yet mandatorily effective but has been early adopted by the Group

Income Taxes 1 January 2012 Yes 2010

bull HKAS 12 (Amendment) lsquoIncome Taxesrsquo The standard which was revised in December 2010 is mandatorily effective

for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 Earlier application is permitted The Group considers that

the required treatment under the revised standard better reflects the tax position of the investment properties of the

Group and has early adopted the amended standard retrospectively since the year ended 31 December 2010

Upon early adoption deferred tax liabilities for the revaluation of investment properties have been calculated subject to

a nil tax rate

22 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank and all of its subsidiaries made up to

31 December

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group controls the composition of the board

of directors controls more than half of the voting power holds more than half of the issued capital or by any other means

that entitle the Group to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities The existence and effect of potential

voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls

another entity Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group They are de-

consolidated from the date that control ceases

21

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

22 Consolidation (continued)

Subsidiaries (continued)

For combination with a company under common control the merger accounting method will be applied The principle of

merger accounting is a way to combine companies under common control as though the business of the acquiree had

always been carried out by the acquirer The Grouprsquos consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated results

consolidated cash flows and consolidated financial position of the Group as if any such combination had occurred from

the date when the Bank and the acquiree first came under common control (ie no fair value adjustment on the date of

combination is required) The difference between the consideration and carrying amount at the time of combination is

recognised in other comprehensive income The effects of all transactions between the Group and the acquiree whether

occurring before or after the combination are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group

Comparative amounts are presented as if the acquiree had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period

The transaction costs for the combination will be expensed in the income statement

Inter-company transactions balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated

unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the assets transferred

Where necessary accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted

by the Group

In the Bankrsquos balance sheet the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses The

results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Bank on the basis of dividends received and receivable

23 Segmental reporting

The operating result of segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the

Management which is the chief operating decision maker of the Group that allocates resources and assesses the

performance of operating segments Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in

determining business segment performance

24 Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Grouprsquos entities are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which the entity operates (the ldquofunctional currencyrdquo) The consolidated financial statements are

presented in Hong Kong dollars which is the Bankrsquos functional and presentation currency

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions using the exchange

rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

translated at the rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period are recognised directly in the income statement

22

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

24 Foreign currency translation (continued)

Translation differences on monetary securities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as part of the fair value

gain or loss Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-

sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the securities and other

changes in the carrying amount of the securities Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are

recognised in the income statement and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive

income

Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are reported as

part of the fair value gain or loss Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as

available-for-sale are included in the available-for-sale reserve in equity

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from Hong Kong dollars

are translated into Hong Kong dollars as follows

bull assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period

bull income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and

bull all resulting exchange differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity through other

comprehensive income

On consolidation exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of

borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments are taken to other comprehensive

income When a foreign entity is sold such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the

gain or loss on sale

25 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-

measured at fair value Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets including recent market

transactions and through the use of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models and options pricing

models as appropriate All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is

negative

The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (ie the fair value of the

consideration given or received)

23

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

25 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic

characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not carried at fair

value through profit or loss These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised

in the income statement

Derivatives are categorised as held for trading and changes in their fair value are recognised immediately in the income

statement unless they are designated as hedges and are effective hedging instruments then they are subject to

measurement under the hedge accounting requirements

26 Hedge accounting

The Group documents at inception the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk

management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions The Group also documents its

assessment both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis of whether the hedging instruments that are used in

hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of hedged items These criteria should be met

before a hedge can be qualified to be accounted for under hedge accounting

Net investment hedge

A gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and

accumulated in equity a gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement

Accumulated gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to income statement

upon disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss on disposal

27 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally

enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset

and settle the liability simultaneously

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognised in the income statement for all financial assets and financial liabilities using

the effective interest method

24

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

28 Interest income and expense and fee and commission income and expense (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of

allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period The effective interest rate is the rate that

exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or

when appropriate a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability When calculating

the effective interest rate the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial

instrument (eg prepayment options or incentives relating to residential mortgage loans) but does not consider future

credit losses The calculation includes fees premiums or discounts and basis points paid or received between parties to

the contract and directly attributable origination fees and costs which represent an integral part of the effective yield are

amortised as interest income or expense over the expected life of the financial instrument

Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss

interest income is recognised on the written down value using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows

for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss Subsequent unwinding of the discount allowance is recognised as

interest income

Fee and commission income and expenses that are not an integral part of the effective yield are recognised on an accrual

basis ratably over the period when the related service is provided such as administrative fee asset management fee and

custody services fee Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the related syndication arrangement has

been completed and the Group has retained no part of the loan package for itself or has retained a part at the same

effective interest rate as that of other participants

29 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following four categories financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss loans and receivables held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale financial assets The Management

determines the classification of investments at initial recognition The classification depends on the purpose for which the

financial assets were held All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value Except for financial assets carried at

fair value through profit or loss all transaction costs of financial assets are included in their amortised costs

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through

profit or loss at inception

A financial asset which has been acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or is part of

a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent

actual pattern of short-term profit-taking is classified as held-for-trading Derivatives are also classified as held for

trading unless they are designated as effective hedges

29 Financial assets (continued)

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

A financial asset other than one held for trading will be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or

loss if it meets one of the criteria set out below and is so designated by the Management

bull eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as lsquoan

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial assets or recognising the gains and

losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated on

a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information about

the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial assets containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial assets

These assets are recognised initially at fair value with transaction costs taken directly to the income statement and

are subsequently re-measured at fair value

Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such assets (excluding the interest component) are reported in net

trading gainloss or net gainloss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss The interest

component is reported as part of interest income Dividends on equity instruments of this category are also recognised

in net trading gainloss when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

(2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in

an active market including placements with and advances to banks and other financial institutions investment debt

securities without an active market and loans and advances to customers They arise when the Group provides money

goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable They are initially recorded at fair value

plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate method less allowances for impairment losses

26

29 Financial assets (continued)

(3) Held-to-maturity

Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are those traded in active markets with fixed or determinable payments

and fixed maturities that the Grouprsquos Management has both the positive intention and the ability to hold to maturity

Where the Group sold held-to-maturity assets (i) other than due to an isolated event beyond the Grouprsquos control non-

recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Group or (ii) other than an insignificant amount of

held-to-maturity assets the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale They are initially

recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method less allowances for impairment losses

(4) Available-for-sale

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are those that are either designated as such or are not classified in any

of the other categories They are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to

needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates exchange rates or equity prices

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and

are subsequently measured at fair value Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of

investments are recognised directly in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is disposed of or impaired

at which time the accumulated gain or loss previously recognised in equity should be transferred to the income

statement However interest income which includes the amortisation of premium and discount is calculated using the

effective interest method and is recognised in the income statement Dividends on equity instruments classified as

available-for-sale are recognised in other operating income when the Grouprsquos right to receive payment is established

The treatment of translation differences on available-for-sale securities is dealt with in Note 24

210 Financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities under the following categories trading liabilities financial liabilities designated

at fair value through profit or loss deposits and other liabilities All financial liabilities are classified at inception and

recognised initially at fair value

(1) Trading liabilities

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the

short term Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedges It is

measured at fair value and any gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

A financial liability can be designated at fair value through profit or loss if it is so designated at inception A financial

liability is so designated if it meets one of the following criteria

accounting mismatchrsquo) that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial liabilities or recognising the gains

and losses on them on different bases or

bull applies to a group of financial assets financial liabilities or both that is managed and its performance is evaluated

on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information

about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key Management or

bull relates to financial liabilities containing one or more embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flow

resulting from those financial liabilities

Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and any gains and

losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement

(3) Deposits and other liabilities

Deposits and other liabilities other than those classified as trading liabilities or designated at fair value through profit

or loss are carried at amortised cost Any difference (if available) between proceeds net of transaction costs and the

redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period using the effective interest method

211 Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder

for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a

contract between the holder and the debtor

Financial guarantees are initially recognised as financial liabilities and reported under ldquoOther accounts and provisionsrdquo in

the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given Subsequent to initial recognition the Grouprsquos

liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37

ldquoProvisions Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assetsrdquo and (ii) the amount initially recognised less where appropriate

accumulated amortisation recognised over the life of the guarantee on a straight-line basis Any changes in the liability

relating to financial guarantees are taken to the income statement

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

212 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss available-for-sale and held-to-maturity

securities are recognised on the trade date the date on which the Group purchases or sells the assets Loans and

receivables (except investment securities without an active market) are recognised when cash is advanced to the

borrowers Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have

expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership When the Group neither

transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset the Group either

continues to recognise the transferred financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement if control remains or

derecognise it if there is no retained control

Trading liabilities and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognised on the trade date

Deposits that are not trading liabilities are recognised when money is received from customers other liabilities are

recognised when such obligations arise Financial liabilities are de-recognised from the balance sheet when and only

when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged cancelled or expired

Securities and bills sold to a counter party with an obligation to repurchase at a pre-determined price on a specified

future date under a repurchase agreement are referred to as Repos Securities and bills purchased from a counter party

with an obligation to re-sell to the counter party at a pre-determined price on a specified future date under a resale

agreement are referred to as Reverse repos

Repos or securities lending are initially recorded as due to banks placements from banks and other financial institutions

as appropriate at the actual amount of cash received from the counter party Financial assets given as collateral for

repurchase agreements are not derecognised and are recorded as investment securities or financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss Reverse repos or securities borrowing are initially recorded in the balance sheet as cash and due

from banks or placements with banks and other financial institutions as appropriate at the actual amount of cash paid

to the counter party Financial assets received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements are not recognised on

the balance sheet The difference between sale and repurchase price is recognised as interest income or interest

expense over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method

213 Determination of fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are quoted in active markets are based on current bid

prices and current ask prices respectively If the market for financial assets and financial liabilities is not active (such as

unlisted securities) the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques These include the use of recent

armrsquos length transactions discounted cash flow analysis option pricing models and other valuation techniques

commonly used by market participants

214 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses as at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or

group of financial assets is impaired A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses

are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after

the initial recognition of the asset (a ldquoloss eventrdquo) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future

cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated Objective evidence that a

financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the

Group about the following probable loss events

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

(ii) a breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

(iii) the Group granting to the borrower for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty a

concession that the lender would not otherwise consider

(iv) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation

(v) the disappearance of an active market or downgrading below investment grade level for that financial asset

because of financial difficulties or

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of

financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the

individual financial assets in the group including

bull adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or

bull national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are

individually significant If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually

assessed financial asset it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and

collectively assesses them for impairment together with all other financial assets that are not individually significant

or for which impairment has not yet been identified Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for

which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment

30

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(1) Assets carried at amortised cost (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity securities has

been incurred the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assetrsquos carrying amount and the

present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted

at the financial assetrsquos original effective interest rate The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of

an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement If a loan or held-to-maturity

investment has a variable interest rate the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective

interest rate determined under the contract As a practical expedient the Group may measure impairment on the

basis of an instrumentrsquos fair value using an observable market price

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the

cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral

For the purposes of a collective assessment of impairment financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar and

relevant credit risk characteristics Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups

of such assets by being indicative of the debtorsrsquo ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of

the assets being evaluated

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the

basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets in the group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk

characteristics similar to those in the group Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable

data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is

based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently

When a loan is uncollectible it is written off against the related allowance for impairment losses Such loans are

written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of impairment losses in the income

statement

If in a subsequent period the amount of allowance for impairment losses decreases and the decrease can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised (such as an improvement in the

debtorrsquos credit rating) the previously recognised impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed by

adjusting the allowance account The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement

Loans whose terms have been renegotiated with substantial difference in the terms are no longer considered to be

past due but are treated as new loans

214 Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(2) Assets classified as available-for-sale

If evidence of impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets the accumulated losses measured as the

difference between the acquisition cost or amortised cost and the current fair value less any impairment loss on that

financial asset previously recognised in the income statement is removed from equity and recognised in the income

statement In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale a significant or prolonged decline in the

fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired If in a

subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can

be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement the

impairment loss to the extent of such a decrease is reversed through the income statement With respect to equity

instruments further fair value changes are recognised in the reserve for fair value change of available-for-sale

securities through other comprehensive income impairment losses are not reversed through the income statement

215 Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and non-financial assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount

may not be recoverable Potential indications of impairment may include significant adverse changes in the

technological market economic or legal environment in which the assets operate or whether there has been a

significant or prolonged decline in value below their cost

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetrsquos carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount

The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell and value in use For the purposes of

assessing impairment assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows

(cash generating units) Assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each

reporting date

In the Bankrsquos financial statements impairment testing of the investment in a subsidiary is also required upon receiving

dividend from that entity if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of that entity concerned in the period

the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of that entity in the Banks balance sheet exceeds the carrying amount

of that entitys net assets including goodwill in its consolidated balance sheet

216 Investment properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that are not occupied by the

companies in the Group are classified as investment properties Properties leased out within Group companies are

classified as investment properties in individual companiesrsquo financial statements and as premises in consolidated

financial statements Land held under operating lease is classified and accounted for as investment property when the

rest of the definition of investment property is met The operating lease is accounted for as if it is a finance lease

32

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

216 Investment properties (continued)

Investment properties are recognised initially at cost including related transaction costs After initial recognition

investment properties are measured at fair value assessed by professional valuers on the basis of open market value If

information of open market value is not available alternative valuation methods are used such as recent prices on less

active markets or discounted cash flow projections These valuations are performed in accordance with valuation

standards on properties published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the assetrsquos carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably The item is stated at

cost less impairment and is included in the carrying amount of investment properties Once the item begins to generate

economic benefits it is then measured at fair value All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the income

statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

Any changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income statement

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied it is reclassified as premises and its fair value at the date of

reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes If an item of premises becomes an investment property

because its use has changed any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the

date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income as a revaluation of premises under HKAS 16 ldquoProperty

Plant and Equipmentrdquo However if a fair value gain reverses a previous revaluation loss or impairment loss the gain is

recognised in the income statement up to the amount previously debited

217 Properties plant and equipment

Properties are mainly branch and office premises Premises are shown at fair value based on periodic at least annually

valuations by external independent valuers less subsequent accumulated depreciation Any accumulated depreciation at

the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the

revalued amount of the asset In the intervening periods the directors review the carrying amount of premises by

reference to the open market value of similar properties and adjustments are made when there has been a material

change

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment Historical cost

includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the items

Subsequent costs are included in an assetrsquos carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset as appropriate

only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the

item can be measured reliably The item is stated at cost until it begins to generate economic benefits then the item is

subsequently measured according to the measurement basis of its respective assets class All other repairs and

maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred

217 Properties plant and equipment (continued)

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of premises are credited to the premises revaluation reserve

through other comprehensive income Decreases that offset previous increases of the same individual asset are

charged against premises revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income all other decreases are expensed

in the income statement Any subsequent increases are credited to the income statement up to the amount previously

debited and then to the premises revaluation reserve Upon disposal of premises the relevant portion of the premises

revaluation reserve realised in respect of previous valuations is released and transferred from the premises revaluation

reserve to retained earnings

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write down the cost or revalued amount of such assets over

their estimated useful lives as follows

bull Properties Over the life of government land leases

bull Plant and equipment 2-15 years

The useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate as at the end of each reporting period

At the end of each reporting period both internal and external sources of information are considered to determine

whether there is any indication that properties plant and equipmentare impaired If any such indication exists the

recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and where relevant an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset

to its recoverable amount Such impairment loss is recognised in the income statement except where the asset is

carried at valuation and the impairment loss does not exceed the revaluation surplus for that same asset in which case

it is treated as a revaluation decrease The recoverable amount is the higher of the assetrsquos fair value less costs to sell

and value in use Impairment loss is reversed through the premises revaluation reserve or income statement as

appropriate

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount relevant taxes and

expenses These are recognised in the income statement

34

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

218 Leases

(1) Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified

as operating leases The total payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)

are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired any payment required to be made to the

lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place Rental income

from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term

(2) Finance leases

Leases of assets where lessee have obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as

finance leases Government land leases in Hong Kong are classified as finance leases as market anticipates that the

leases can be extended for a nominal amount the risks and rewards of leasehold land would have already been

substantially transferred to the lessee as if it were freehold

Finance leases are capitalised at the leasersquos commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and

the present value of the minimum lease payments Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance

charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding The corresponding rental obligations

net of finance charges are included in other liabilities Investment properties acquired under finance leases are

carried at their fair value

When assets are leased out under a finance lease the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a

receivable Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using net investment method which reflects a

constant periodic rate of return

219 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with original

maturity less than three months from the date of acquisition including cash balances with banks and other financial

institutions short-term bills and notes classified as investment securities

220 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events it is

probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a

reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made

35

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

221 Employee benefits

(1) Retirement benefit costs

The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes under either recognised ORSO schemes or MPF

schemes that are available to the Grouprsquos employees Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees

are calculated as a percentage of employeesrsquo basic salaries for the ORSO schemes and in accordance with the MPF

rules for MPF schemes The retirement benefit scheme costs are charged to the income statement as incurred and

represent contributions payable by the Group to the schemes Contributions made by the Group that are forfeited by

those employees who leave the ORSO scheme prior to the full vesting of their entitlement to the contributions are

used by the Group to reduce the existing level of contributions or to meet its expenses under the trust deed of the

ORSO schemes

The assets of the schemes are held in independently-administered funds separate from those of the Group

(2) Leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and sick leave are recognised when they accrue to employees A provision is

made for the estimated liability for unused annual leave and the amount of sick leave expected to be paid as a result

of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period

Compensated absences other than sick leave and special approved annual leaves are non-accumulating they lapse

if the current periodrsquos entitlement is not used in full Except for unexpired annual leaves they do not entitle

employees to a cash payment for unused entitlement on leaving the Group Such compensated absences are

recognised when the absences occur

(3) Bonus plans

The expected cost of bonus payments are recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or

constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be

made Liabilities for bonus plans that are expected to be settled longer than twelve months will be recognised using

discounted cash flow method if the amounts are significant

222 Current and deferred income taxes

Tax expenses for the period comprises current and deferred tax Tax is recognised in the income statement except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income In this case the tax is also

recognised in other comprehensive income within the corresponding item

Income tax payable on profits based on the applicable tax law enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the

reporting period in each jurisdiction where the Bank and the subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income is

recognised as a current income tax expense in the period in which profits arise

36

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

222 Current and deferred income taxes (continued)

Deferred income tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences arising

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end

of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred

income tax liability is settled

The principal temporary differences arise from asset impairment provisions depreciation of premises and equipment

revaluation of certain assets including available-for-sale securities and premises and tax losses carried forward

However the deferred income tax is not recognised 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 income tax liabilities are provided in full on all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets

are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary

differences can be utilised

Deferred income tax is charged or credited in the income statement except for deferred income tax relating to fair value

re-measurement of available-for-sale securities and revaluation of premises which are charged or credited to other

comprehensive income in which case the deferred income tax is also credited or charged to other comprehensive

income and is subsequently recognised in the income statement together with the realisation of the deferred gain and

loss

Deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset arising from investment property is determined based on the presumption that

the revaluation amount of such investment property will be recovered through sale with the relevant tax rate applied

223 Repossessed assets

Repossessed assets are initially recognised at the lower of their fair value less costs to sell and the amortised cost of the

related outstanding loans on the date of repossession and the related loans and advances together with the related

impairment allowances are derecognised from the balance sheet Subsequently repossessed assets are measured at

the lower of their cost and fair values less costs to sell and are reported as lsquonon-current assets held for salersquo included in

lsquoOther assetsrsquo

224 Fiduciary activities

The Group commonly acts as a trustee or in other fiduciary capacities that result in its holding or managing assets on

behalf of individuals trusts and other institutions These assets and any gains or losses arising thereon are excluded

from these financial statements as they are not assets of the Group

225 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by

the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group It

can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow

of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably

A contingent liability is not recognised as a provision but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements When a

change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable it will then be recognised as a provision

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the

occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Group

Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of

economic benefits is probable When the inflow is virtually certain it will be recognised as an asset

226 Related parties

For the purposes of these financial statements a party is considered to be related to the Group if that party controls

jointly controls or has significant influence over the Group is a member of the same financial reporting group such as

parents subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries is an associate or a joint venture of the Group or parent reporting group is

a key management personnel of the Group or parents or where the Group and the party are subject to common control

Related parties may be individuals or entities

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next

financial year Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances Areas susceptible to

changes in essential estimates and judgements which affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are set out below

The effect of changes to either the key assumptions or other estimation uncertainties will be presented below if it is

practicable to determine It is possible that actual results may require material adjustments to the estimates referred to below

31 Impairment allowances on loans and advances

The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis In determining whether an

impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement the Group makes judgements as to whether there is any

observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans

and advances before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio This evidence may include

observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group (eg

payment delinquency or default) or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group The

Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective

evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when estimating expected future cash flows The methodology and

assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of loans and advances as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 23 to the Financial Statements

32 Impairment of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments

The Group reviews its held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment portfolios to assess impairment at least on a

quarterly basis In determining whether any of these investments is impaired risk characteristics and performance such

as external credit rating market price etc will be assessed The Group makes estimates on the default rate and loss

severity of each investment with reference to market performance of the portfolios current payment status of the issuers

or performance of the underlying assets or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the collateralised assets

The methodology and assumptions used for impairment assessments are reviewed regularly

Carrying amounts of investment in securities as at 31 December 2011 are shown in Note 25 to the Financial Statements

33 Fair values of derivative financial instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation

techniques Valuation techniques used include discounted cash flows analysis and models with built-in functions available

in externally acquired financial analysis or risk management systems widely used by the industry To the extent practical

the models use only observable data

39

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)

34 Held-to-maturity investments

The Group follows the guidance of HKAS 39 in classifying certain non-derivative financial assets with fixed or

determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity securities This classification requires significant

Management judgement to evaluate the Grouprsquos intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity If the Group

fails to hold these investments to maturity other than for specific circumstances defined in HKAS 39 such as selling an

insignificant amount selling close to maturity or due to significant credit deterioration of such investments it will be

required to reclassify the entire portfolio of financial assets as available-for-sale investments The investments would then

be measured at fair value and not amortised cost

40

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4 Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risks as a result of engaging in a variety of business activities The principal financial risks

are credit risk market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk This note summarises the

Grouprsquos exposures to these risks as well as its objectives policies and procedures for managing and the methods used to

measure these risks

Financial risk management framework

The Grouprsquos risk management governance structure is designed to cover all business processes and ensure various risks

are properly managed and controlled in the course of conducting business The Group has a sound risk management

organisational structure with a comprehensive set of policies and procedures to identify measure monitor and control

various risks that may arise These risk management policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and modified to reflect

changes in markets and business strategies

The Board of Directors representing the interests of shareholders is the highest decision making authority of the Group

and has the ultimate responsibility for risk management The Board with the assistance of the Risk Management

Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) has the primary responsibility for formulating risk management strategies and ensuring that the Group

has an effective risk management system to implement these strategies

The RMC a standing committee established by the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Grouprsquos various

types of risks reviewing and approving high-level risk-related policies and overseeing their implementation reviewing and

approving significant or high risk exposures or transactions and exercising its power of veto if it considers that the

transactions should not proceed

41

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) 4 Financial risk management (continued)

Financial risk management framework (continued)

The Group has put in place appropriate internal control systems including establishment of an organisation structure that

sets adequately clear lines of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with policies procedures and limits

Proper reporting lines also provide sufficient independence of the control functions from the business areas as well as

adequate segregation of duties throughout the organisation which helps to promote an appropriate internal control

environment

Pursuant to a risk-based approach the Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on areas including principal

risks regulatory compliance adequacy and effectiveness of risk policies and internal control systems operations and

activities

Product development

To ensure effective risk assessment and monitoring the Group developed a comprehensive product development and

management framework which clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of all related units and the proper risk

assessment procedures for the product development process

In accordance with the strategic objectives set by the Management the respective product management units are

responsible for formulating business and product development plans and the division of strategic development shall ensure

the plans are aligned with the Grouprsquos overall strategies Divisions that are responsible for risk management legal

compliance and finance etc are accountable for reviewing the relevant risk assessment results

Apart from product development the respective business units identify and assess all the related risks Risk evaluating

divisions shall conduct independent review on risk management procedures and assessment results Products can only be

launched after the risk management procedures are fulfilled and endorsed by all risk evaluating divisions

In order to be prudent in offering treasury products to our clients all treasury products regardless brand new or modified

require approval from the Management or the special committee before launching

41 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that a customer or counterparty will be unable to or unwilling to meet its contractual

obligations Credit risk exists in the trading book and banking book on- and off-balance sheet exposures of a bank It

arises principally from lending trade finance treasury businesses and covers inter-bank transactions foreign exchange

and derivative transactions as well as investments in bonds and securities

Credit risk management framework

The Group has formulated a comprehensive set of credit risk management policies and procedures and appropriate

credit risk limits to manage and control credit risk that may arise These policies procedures and credit risk limits are

regularly reviewed to cope with changes in risk market conditions and business strategies

42

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

41 Credit Risk (continued)

Credit risk management framework (continued)

The Grouprsquos organisation structure establishes a clear set of authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with

policies procedures and limits

The Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) a management committee chaired by the Chief Executive

(ldquoCErdquo) is responsible for the implementation of the credit risk management strategies as well as the approval of credit

policies It also monitors various aspects of the Grouprsquos loan portfolio such as asset quality risk concentration etc

Various units of the Group have their respective credit risk management responsibilities Business units act as the first

line of defense They are obliged to make thorough assessment on every credit application and are fully responsible for

monitoring credit performance and punctual repayments The business activities conducted should also comply with the

credit policies and procedures The risk management units which are independent from the business units have the

primary responsibilities for providing an independent due diligence and identifying measuring monitoring and

controlling credit risk They report directly to the CLMC RMC and CE

The Board of Directors is the ultimate source of credit authority The Board of Directors delegates credit approval

authority to the CE The CE can further delegate to the subordinates within the limit authorized by the Board of Directors

The Group sets the limits of credit approval authority according to business nature rating the level of transaction risk

and the extent of the credit exposure

Credit risk measurement and control

In view of the rapidly changing market conditions the Group has been continuously revisiting its credit strategies and

conducting rigorous reviews on the concerned portfolios

Loans and advances

Different credit approval and control procedures are adopted according to level of risk associated with the customer

counterparty or transaction All credit applications are subject to thorough risk assessment and proper approval In

general most of the credit applications will be reviewed and assessed by independent officer(s) of risk management

unit(s) before approval with exceptions given to certain designated products which satisfy certain conditions These

designated loans will be (randomly) reviewed by designated unit(s) which is(are) independent from the front line

business units after funding being drawn Corporate and financial institution credit applications are independently

reviewed and objectively assessed by risk management units Obligor ratings and facility grades are assigned to these

portfolios Retail internal ratings systems are used in risk assessment of retail credit transactions including small

business retail exposures residential mortgage loans and personal loans Loan grades obligor ratings as well as loss

estimates (if applicable) are used to support credit approval

43

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4 Financial risk management (continued)

41 Credit Risk (continued)

Credit risk measurement and control (continued)

Loans and advances (continued)

The Group also uses loan grades obligor ratings and loss estimates (if applicable) to support credit monitoring analysis

and reporting For corporate and financial institution more frequent rating review and closer monitoring are required for

riskier customers For retail exposures monthly updated ratings and loss estimates are used for credit monitoring on a

portfolio basis More comprehensive review is required for obligors being identified under high-risk pools

The Group has established credit master scale for internal rating purpose which is in compliance with the Banking

(Capital) Rules on rating structure and can be mapped to Standard amp Poorrsquos external ratings

In addition to obligor ratings the Group adopts a facility rating system (in the case of corporate and bank exposure) and

expected loss (in the case of retail exposures) to assess the risk in the facility structure during credit approval This two-

dimensional rating approach to evaluate credit risk complies with the HKMArsquos requirements on IRB

Regular credit management information reports and ad hoc reports are provided to the Management RMC and Board

of Directors to facilitate their continuous monitoring of credit risk

The Group identifies credit concentration risk by industry geography customer and counterparty risk The Group

monitors changes to counterparties credit risk quality of the credit portfolio and risk concentrations and reports

regularly to the Management

The Group continues to adopt loan grading criteria which divides credit assets into 5 categories with reference to

HKMArsquos guidelines

ldquoPassrdquo represents loans where the borrower is current in meeting its repayment obligations and full repayment of

interest and principal is not in doubt

ldquoSpecial Mentionrdquo represents loans where the borrowers are experiencing difficulties which may threaten the Grouprsquos

position Ultimate loss is not expected at this stage but could occur if adverse conditions persist

ldquoSubstandardrdquo represents loans where the borrower displays a definable weakness that is likely to jeopardise

repayment

ldquoDoubtfulrdquo represents loans where collection in full is improbable and the Group expects to sustain a loss of principal

andor interest taking into account the net realisable value of the collateral

ldquoLossrdquo represents loans which are considered uncollectible after all collection options (such as the realisation of

collateral or the institution of legal proceedings) have been exhausted

Debt securities and derivatives

For investments in debt securities and securitisation assets the obligor ratings or external credit ratings assessment of

the underlying assets and credit limits setting on customersecurity issuer basis are used for managing credit risk

associated with the investment For derivatives the Group sets customer limits to manage the credit risk involved and

follows the same approval and control processes as loans and advances On-going monitoring and stop-loss

procedures are established

Settlement risk arises mainly from foreign exchange transactions with counterparties and also from derivatives in any

situation where a payment in cash securities or equities is made in the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash

securities or equities Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to cover all settlement risk arising

from the Grouprsquos transactions on any single day

Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements

The valuation and management of collateral have been documented in the policy covering acceptance criteria validity

of collateral loan-to-value ratio haircut ratio valuation and insurance etc The collateral is revalued on a regular basis

though the frequency and the method used varies with the type of collateral involved and the nature and the risk of the

underlying credit The Group has established a mechanism to update the value of its main type of collateral real estate

properties with the use of public indices on a portfolio basis Collateral is insured with the Group as the beneficiary

For loans guaranteed by a third party the Group will assess the guarantorrsquos financial condition credit history and ability

to meet obligations

As at 31 December 2011 and 2010 the Group did not hold any collateral permitted to sell or re-pledge in the absence of

default by the borrower

41 Credit Risk (continued)

(A) Credit exposures

The maximum exposure is a worst case scenario of credit risk exposure to the Group without taking account of any

collateral held or other credit enhancements For on-balance sheet assets the maximum exposure to credit risk

equals their carrying amount For letters of guarantee issued the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum

amount that the Group could be required to pay if the guarantees are called upon For loan commitment and other

credit related liabilities the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities

The nature of the collateral held and other credit enhancements and their financial effect to the different classes of

the Grouprsquos financial assets are as follows

Balances and placements with banks and other financial institutions

These exposures are generally considered to be low risk due to the nature of the counterparties Collateral is

generally not sought on these assets

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and investment in securities

Collateral is generally not sought on debt securities

Derivative financial instruments

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement is the preferred agreement for documenting

derivatives activities of the Group It provides the contractual framework within which dealing activities across a full

range of OTC products are conducted and contractually bind both parties to apply close-out netting across all

outstanding transactions covered by an agreement if either party defaults or another pre-agreed termination event

occurs

Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and commitments

The general types of collateral are disclosed on page 45 Advances and other accounts contingent liabilities and

commitments are collateralised to the extent considered appropriate by the Group taking account of the risk

assessment of individual exposures The collateral coverage of advances to customers is analysed on pages 58 to

61 The components and nature of contingent liabilities and commitments are disclosed in Note 38 Regarding the

commitments that are unconditionally cancellable without prior notice the Group would assess the necessity to

withdraw the credit line in case where the credit quality of a borrower deteriorates Accordingly these commitments

do not expose the Group to significant credit risk

Advances with a specific repayment date are classified as overdue when the principal or interest is past due and

remains unpaid Advances repayable by regular instalments are classified as overdue when an instalment payment

is past due and remains unpaid Advances repayable on demand are classified as overdue either when a demand for

repayment has been served on the borrower but repayment has not been made in accordance with the instruction or

when the advances have remained continuously outside the approved limit that was advised to the borrower

A financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of

impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated

future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated

41 Credit Risk (continued)

(B) Gross advances and other accounts (continued)

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as

the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the

financial asset Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes observable data that comes to the

attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include

- Significant financial difficulty incurred by the borrower

- A breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment

- For economic or legal reasons related to the borrowerrsquos financial difficulty the Group has granted to the borrower a

concession that it would not otherwise consider

- Probable that the borrower will become bankrupt or undergo other financial reorganisation or

- Other observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such

loans and advances

To ensure the currency risk exposure of the Group is kept to an acceptable level risk limits (eg position and loss

limit) are used to serve as a monitoring tool Moreover the Group seeks to minimize the gap between asset and

liability in the same currency Foreign exchange contracts (eg FX swap) are usually used to manage FX risk

associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities

Sensitivity analysis to foreign exchange risk exposure (Non Structural)

At 31 December 2011 the majority of the net positions of the Group and the Bank were denominated in US dollar

and Renminbi therefore the Group and the Bank do not expose to significant foreign exchange risk other than US

dollar and Renminbi If US dollar and Renminbi exchange rate had changed by 1 with other variables held

constant profit after tax for the year of the Group and the Bank would have been changed by HK$7705000 (2010

HK$1007000) and HK$7026000 (2010 HK$481000) respectively

(B) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk means the risks to a bankrsquos earnings and economic value arising from adverse movements in

interest rate and term structures of the bankrsquos asset and liability positions The Grouprsquos interest rate risk exposures

are mainly structural The major types of interest rate risk from structural positions are

- Repricing risk - mismatches in the maturity or repricing periods of assets and liabilities

- Basis risk - different pricing basis for different transactions so that the yield on assets and cost of liabilities may

change by different amounts within the same repricing period

- Yield curve risk - non-parallel shifts in the yield curve that may have an adverse impact on net interest income or

economic value

- Option risk - exercise of the options embedded in assets liabilities or off-balance sheet items that can cause a

change in the cashflows of assets and liabilities

The Group has formulated ldquoInterest Rate Risk Management Policiesrdquo which set out the framework and methodologies

to identify measure monitor and control interest rate risk

Both the members of the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ldquoALCOrdquo) and RMC are responsible for interest

rate risk management ALCO maintains oversight of interest rate risk and RMC sanctions the interest rate risk

management policies formulated by ALCO The interest rate risk is identified and measured on a weekly basis The

Finance Department manages the interest rate risk according to the established policies and assigns the Financial

Management Division to monitor the related risks closely and to report the results to ALCO regularly

Gap analysis is one of the tools used to measure the Grouprsquos exposure to repricing risk This provides the Group with

a static view of the maturity and repricing characteristics of its balance sheet positions The Group uses interest rate

derivatives to hedge its interest rate exposures and in most cases plain vanilla interest rate swaps are used

(B) Interest rate risk (continued)

Sensitivities of net interest income and economic value to interest rate changes are assessed through a hypothetical

interest rate shock of 200 basis points across the yield curve on both sides Sensitivity of net interest income is

controlled within an approved percentage of the projected net interest income for the year whereas sensitivity of

economic value is confined to a percentage of the latest capital base both measures are sanctioned by RMC The

results are reported to ALCO and RMC on a regular basis

The impact of basis risk is gauged by the projected change in net interest income under scenarios of imperfect

correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different instruments

Stress test on yield curve risk is performed to assess the impact on economic value due to the steepening or

flattening of the yield curve The impact of options embedded in demand and savings deposits and prepayment of

mortgage loans is also assessed under different stress test scenarios

The interest rate risk exposures in the Group are controlled through the use of limits

1 Net Interest Income sensitivity ratio

2 Economic Value sensitivity ratio

3 Repricing Mismatch Gap limits

Before launching a new product or business the relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying interest rate risk and consideration of the adequacy of current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on interest rate risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

Sensitivity analysis to market risk exposure of banking book of the Group

The Group is principally exposed to HKD USD and RMB in terms of interest rate risk The following example

illustrates how the Grouprsquos stress test is performed As at 31 December 2011 if HKD USD and RMB market interest

rates had been 100 basis points higher with other variables held constant the impacts on net interest income over

the next twelve months and on reserves for the Group and the Bank would have been as follows

Impact on net interest income over the next

twelve months at 31 December Impact on reserves

at 31 December The Group The Bank The Group The Bank 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010Scenarios HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000 HK$rsquo000Up 100 basis points parallel shift in HK dollar yield curves 173383 159088 153181 138206 (37656) (44830) (37656) (44830) Up 100 basis points parallel shift in US dollar yield curves (55874) (87748) (52696) (81833) (128679) (156064) (128679) (156064) Up 100 basis points parallel shift in Renminbi yield curves 68429 117098 7232 37019 (125726) (18817) (62236) (9455)

The overall positive impact (HKD USD and RMB combined) on net interest income is similar to 2010 The increase

in positive earnings impact of HKD and USD is met by the fall in RMB Reserves would have been reduced

because of the expected reduction in valuation of available-for-sale portfolio due to the above simulated market

rates movement The reduction of reserves is larger compared with 2010 because the size and duration of

available-for-sale portfolio is increased

To construct stressful scenarios severe assumptions are made including a change in the correlation between HK

dollar and US dollar interest rates parallel movement of interest rates for the banking book positions of all repricing

or maturity dates In the absence of actions that would be taken to mitigate the impact of interest rates shock all

positions are assumed to run to maturity and reprice or mature simultaneously within a given time band

43 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to fund increases in assets meet obligations as they fall due or

take strategic opportunity without incurring unacceptable losses

Liquidity risk management framework

The liquidity risk management framework of the Group comprises three levels The Board of Directors and the RMC

are the ultimate decision making authority and are responsible for the compliance with regulatory requirements

Formulation of the risk management procedures and implementation mechanism and monitoring of the compliance are

mainly responsible by the ALCO Daily management of liquidity is carried out by the Treasury Management Sub-

Committee and the Treasury Division while the Financial Management Division monitors the liquidity risk and provides

regular reports to the Management and local regulatory bodies

The liquidity management process is carried out both at the Group and subsidiary level The principal subsidiaries

execute their daily risk management processes independently subject to risk policies that are consistent with those of

the Group and report to the Grouprsquos Management on a regular basis

The Group has developed a robust liquidity risk management mechanism by maintaining an appropriate size of highly-

liquefiable assets and proper liability structure enabling the Group to meet even under adverse market conditions all

its obligations as they fall due and to fund all its asset growth and strategic opportunities without forced liquidation of

its assets at short notice

At present the Group has set up Key Risk Indicators such as 1-month liquidity ratio and loan-to-deposit ratio The

indicators are used as the major tools in the identification measurement monitoring and control of the liquidity risk on

regular basis by setting limits assessing and monitoring the ratios Besides the Group also monitors deposit stability

concentration of deposits from large depositors and liquidity profile of the investment portfolio

43 Liquidity Risk (continued)

Liquidity risk management framework (continued)

The related risk management process includes

- Perform cash-flow projections under normal and stressed scenarios using the net mismatch gap between assets and

liabilities to estimate the prospective net funding requirements

- Maintain strong liquidity ratios to comply with both internal and external regulatory requirements

- Maintain a diversified liability base to ensure sufficient funding sources

- Maintain a proper level of highly liquid assets to serve as a liquidity buffer for emergency needs

- Monitor the structure and stability of the deposit portfolio

- Assess the ability to borrow from the inter-bank money market to avoid over-reliance on the money market for funding

- Maintain a proper contingency plan which includes setting early warning signals (including internal indicators and

market indicators) with timely monitoring procedures and establishing a management reporting system and

contingency procedures

Before launching a new product or business relevant departments are required to go through a risk assessment

process which includes assessment of underlying liquidity risk and consideration of the adequacy of the current risk

management mechanism Any material impact on liquidity risk noted during the risk assessment process will be

reported to ALCO

44 Capital Management

The major objective of the Grouprsquos capital management is to maximise total shareholdersrsquo return while maintaining a

capital adequacy position in relation to the Grouprsquos overall risk profile The Group periodically reviews its capital

structure and adjusts the capital mix where appropriate to achieve the required rate of return on capital

The Group has developed and maintained a sound framework of policies and controls on capital management to

support the development of the Grouprsquos business and to meet the statutory capital adequacy ratio ALCO monitors the

Grouprsquos capital adequacy The Group has complied with all the statutory capital standards for all the periods

In prior years the Group adopted the STC approach to calculate credit risk capital charge With the HKMA approval

from 1 January 2011 the Group has migrated to the FIRB approach to calculate the credit risk capital charge for the

majority of its non-securitisation exposures and internal ratings-based (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit

risk capital charge for its securitisation exposures A small residual credit exposures was approved by HKMA to be

exempted from FIRB approach and remained under STC approach

The Group continues to adopt the standardize approach to calculate the capital charges on market risk and operational

risk under Pillar One in compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules in year 2011

In compliance with the Banking (Capital) Rules this regulatory capital framework aligns regulatory capital requirements

more closely with the inherent risks Following announcement of the Basel III regulations by Basel Committee the

Group has analyzed the possible impact of the new capital requirements to ensure that the Group plans ahead for the

transition of for the implementation of the new regulations

The Group has established an ICAAP Through this process each material risk associated with the Grouprsquos main

activities is assessed by pre-defined assessment models and a comprehensive judgment of the overall risk profile is

decided subsequently by taking into account the Grouprsquos governance structure risk management quality internal

control environment and capital strength Finally the minimum CAR is derived through the procedures to relate the

Grouprsquos overall risk profile to its capital adequacy The minimum CAR aims to cover the various material risks

undertaken by the Group The Group considers this ICAAP process as an on-going process for capital management

and periodically reviews and adjusts its capital structure in relation to the overall risk profile

In addition the annual capital plan of the Group is drawn up and discussed by the ALCO and submitted to the Board for

approval The plan is built up by assessing the impacts by various factors upon CAR such as the business strategies

return on equity risk appetite credit rating as well as regulatory requirements and based on this study to derive our

future capital demand and the way to obtain the capital sources The plan is to ensure the Grouprsquos capital adequacy

and achieve optimal capital structure in order to align with our business development and risk profile

The capital ratios are computed on the consolidated basis that comprises the positions of the Bank and certain

subsidiaries specified by the HKMA for its regulatory purposes and in accordance with the Banking (Capital) Rules

The differences between the basis of consolidation for accounting and regulatory purposes are described in

ldquoAppendix ndash Subsidiaries of the Bankrdquo on page 201

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

(A) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information

about various financial instruments The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair

value of each class of financial instrument as far as practicable

Balances with banks and other financial institutions and Trade bills

The maturities of these financial assets and liabilities are within one year and the carrying value approximates fair

value

Advances to customers banks and other financial institutions

Substantially all the advances to customers banks and other financial institutions are on floating rate terms bear

interest at prevailing market interest rates Their carrying value approximates fair value

Held-to-maturity securities

Fair value for held-to-maturity securities is based on market prices or brokerdealer price quotations Where this

information is not available fair value has been estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar

credit maturity and yield characteristics Their carrying value approximates fair value

Loans and receivables

A discounted cash flow model is used based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity

and their carrying value approximates fair value

Deposits from customers Substantially all the deposits from customers mature within one year from the balance sheet date and their carrying

value approximates fair value

108

45 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

(B) Financial instruments measured at fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into following three levels

ndash Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including certain foreign

exchange derivative contracts

ndash Level 2 Valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for

the asset or liability either directly or indirectly This level includes the majority of the OTC derivative contracts

debt securities with quote from pricing services providers

ndash Level 3 Valuation technique using inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data

(unobservable inputs) This level includes equity investment and debt instruments with significant unobservable

components

The Group uses valuation techniques or brokerdealer quotations to determine the fair value of financial

instruments when unable to obtain the open market quotation in active markets

The main parameters used in valuation techniques for financial instruments held by the Group include bond prices

interest rates foreign exchange rates equity and stock prices volatilities counterparty credit spreads and others

which are all observable and obtainable from open market

For certain illiquid debt securities and unlisted private equity held by the Group Management obtains valuation

quotations from counterparties The fair value of these financial instruments may be based on unobservable inputs

which may have significant impact on the valuation of these financial instruments and therefore these instruments

have been classified by the Group as level 3 The Group has established internal control procedures to control the

Grouprsquos exposure to such financial instruments

22 Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into the following exchange rate interest rate and precious metal related derivative financial instrument

contracts for trading and risk management purposes

Currency forwards represent commitments to purchase and sell foreign currency on a future date

Currency and interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another Swaps result in an

exchange of currencies interest rates (for example fixed rate for floating rate) or a combination of all these (for example

cross-currency interest rate swaps) Except for certain currency swap contracts no exchange of principal takes place

Foreign currency options are contractual agreements under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right

but not the obligation either to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) at or by a set date or during a set period a specific

amount of the financial instrument at a predetermined price In consideration for the assumption of foreign exchange and

interest rate risk the seller receives a premium from the purchaser Options are negotiated over-the-counter (ldquoOTCrdquo)

between the Group and its counterparty

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the

following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the

balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the

consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the

current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The

derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign

exchange rates market interest rates or metal prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial

instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

22 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

and counterclaims are in relation to the normal commercial activities of the Group

meritorious defences against the claimants or the amounts involved in these claims are not expected to be material

42 Segmental reporting

(a) By class of business

The Group has changed the charge on inter-segment funding from the corresponding money market rates to money

market rates adjusted with pre-determined margins this year These margins reflect differentiation based on product

features Meanwhile corporate bonds were reclassified from Corporate Banking to Treasury to align with the

corresponding change in the product management No change has been made to the comparative figures However if

the same mechanismclassification were applied for last year it is estimated that the net interest income of Personal

Banking Corporate Banking and Treasury would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$

+227219000 -302924000 and +75705000 respectively Moreover a net trading loss of HK$124141000 and a

net gain of HK$40617000 on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss which were

generated from corporate bonds would be shifted from Corporate Banking to Treasury

The Group divides its business into four classes Personal Banking Corporate Banking Treasury and Investment

Both Personal Banking business and Corporate Banking business provide general banking services Personal

Banking serves individual customers while Corporate Banking deals with non-individual customers The Treasury

segment is responsible for managing the capital liquidity and the interest rate and foreign exchange positions of the

Group in addition to proprietary trades It provides funds to other business segments and receives funds from deposit

taking activities of Personal Banking and Corporate Banking These inter-segment funding is charged according to the

internal funds transfer pricing mechanism of the Group The assets and liabilities of Treasury have not been adjusted

to reflect the effect of inter-segment borrowing and lending (ie the profit and loss information in relation to Treasury is

not comparable to the assets and liabilities information about Treasury)

Investment includes bank premises and equipment used by supporting units Charges are paid to this segment from

other business segments based on market rates per square foot for their occupation of the Grouprsquos premises The

exchange difference arising from capital of our subsidiary Nanyang Commercial Bank (China) Limited is recognised

in its income statement is also included in this class

ldquoOthersrdquo refers to other group operations and mainly comprises of items related to the Group as a whole and totally

independent of the other four business segments

Revenues and expenses of any business segment mainly include items directly attributable to the segment For

management overheads allocations are made on reasonable bases In this year a more detailed and comprehensive

cost allocation mechanism was adopted No change has been made to the comparative figures However if the same

mechanism were applied for last year it is estimated that the operating expenses of Personal Banking Corporate

Banking Treasury investment and Others would be increased (+) or decreased (-) approximately by HK$ -

101583000 +106943000 +99348000 -59328000 and -45380000 respectively

46 Cross-border claims

The information on cross-border claims discloses exposures to foreign counterparties on which the ultimate risk lies and is

derived according to the location of the counterparties after taking into account any transfer of risk In general such transfer

of risk takes place if the claims are guaranteed by a party in a country which is different from that of the counterparty or if

the claims are on an overseas branch of a bank whose head office is located in another country Only regions constituting

10 or more of the aggregate cross-border claims are analysed by geographical areas and disclosed as follows

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach

31 The internal rating systems and risk components

The Group adopts the FIRB approach to calculate the regulatory capital requirements for most of the corporate and bank

exposures and adopts the supervisory slotting criteria approach to project finance exposures under specialised lending

The Group adopts retail IRB approach for retail exposures to individuals and small business The following is the table

showing the different capital calculation approaches to each asset class

Other items Specific Risk-weight Approach

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

The internal rating system is a two dimensional rating system that provides separate assessment of borrower and

transaction characteristics For corporate and bank portfolios the obligor rating reflects exclusively the risk of borrower

default and the facility rating reflects transaction specific factors that affect the loss severity in the case of borrower

default Expected Losses are also calculated in the retail IRB portfolios to reflect the risk of loss in credit decisions

All the corporate and bank borrowers are assigned into eight broad obligor ratings including seven grades for non-

defaulted obligors with sub-divisions into 26 minor credit grades and one grade for defaulted obligors All credit

transactions for corporates and banks are assigned into 21 facility grades In the supervisory slotting criteria approach

for the project finance exposures there are four grades for non-defaulted borrowers and one for defaulted borrowers in

accordance with the HKMA guidance

The Group uses internal rating system to assess the borrowers likelihood of default for all IRB portfolios PD is

measured to reflect the risk of borrower default over a one-year period A borrower rating means a category of credit-

worthiness to which borrowers are assigned on the basis of a specified and distinct set of rating criteria from which

estimates of PD are derived

31 The internal rating systems and risk components (continued)

(A) The structure of internal rating systems and the relationship between internal ratings and external ratings

(continued)

In the process of obligor rating assignment variables of latest financial performance management quality industry

risks and group connection of each obligor are assessed as critical factors to predict borrowers ability and willingness

to meet with the contractually obligations under different economic conditions The internal rating tools employ

statistical and analytical techniques for the final rating assignment

The Group adopted statistical models to provide own estimated PD LGD and EAD for exposures arising from

residential mortgages to both individuals and property-holding shell companies qualifying revolving retail exposures

and other retail exposures to individuals and small business retail exposures The PD reflects the risk of borrower

default over a one-year period while the EAD and LGD estimates reflect the loss severity of its credit exposures Each

of retail exposures is pooled by nature of obligors facility types collateral types and delinquency status This grouping

process provides the basis of accurate and consistent estimation for PD LGD and EAD at the pool level

For each internal rating the equivalent external rating in terms of default risk is as below

(B) Use of internal estimates

The estimates of risk components derived from internal rating models are not only used in the calculation of regulatory

capital but also in many other areas including credit approval credit monitoring reporting and analysis of credit risk

information etc

(C) Process of managing and recognising credit risk mitigation

For those collaterals recognised under capital management the Group has well-defined policies and procedures for

collateral valuation and management which are compliant with the operational requirements for recognised collateral

for credit risk mitigation as stated in the Banking (Capital) Rules

For credit exposures adopting FIRB approach for capital calculation purpose the recognised eligible guarantees

include the guarantees provided by banks and securities firms with a lower risk weights than the counterparty and

corporate with internal credit ratings which is equivalent to external credit rating A- or above The Group takes into

account the credit risk mitigation effect of recognised collaterals through its determination of the net credit exposures

and the effective LGD

For retail IRB approach the effect of the credit risk mitigation is incorporated into the internal risk parameters of PD or

LGD depending on the nature of the guarantees and collaterals for calculating the risk exposures

The credit and market risk concentrations within the credit risk mitigation (recognised collateral and guarantees for

capital calculation) used by the Group are under a low level

Up to the date of report the Group has not used any recognised credit derivative contracts on- or off-balance sheet

recognised netting for credit risk mitigation yet

(D) The control mechanisms used for internal rating systems

The Group has established a comprehensive mechanism to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the

rating systems including the estimation processes for the risk components

All of IRB risk measurement models are approved by the Credit and Loans Management Committee (ldquoCLMCrdquo) and

Risk Management Committee (ldquoRMCrdquo) of the Board

3 Credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (continued)

31 The internal ratings system and risk components (continued)

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

To achieve reasonably accurate risk ratings assignment the Group has established the rating approval process which

is independent from the sales and marketing units Since the internal ratings is one of the key inputs to the making of

credit decisions a control mechanism is in place to ensure the integrity accuracy and consistency of the rating

assignment For the wholesale (corporate and banks) portfolio internal ratings are normally approved by credit officers

who are functionally separated from sales and marketing units In some cases where the transactions are small

amount or low risk ratings can be assigned and approved by staff within sales and marketing activities subject to post-

approval review by credit risk management unit

The rating assignment and risk quantification process of retail portfolio is highly automated As an integral part of the

daily credit assessment process the accuracy and completeness of the data input for automatic rating assignment is

verified by units independent from business development function

The performance of internal ratings system is under ongoing periodic monitoring The senior management periodically

reviews the performance and predictive ability of the internal rating system The effectiveness of the internal rating

system and processes are reviewed by independent control functions (including model validation unit) and internal

audit The results of the review are reported to the Board and senior management regularly

A model validation team which is independent from the model development unit and rating assignment units conducts

periodic model validations Model acceptance standards are established to ensure the discriminatory power accuracy

and stability of the rating systems Reviews of rating models are triggered if the performance of a model deteriorates

materially against predetermined tolerant limits

(D) The control mechanisms used for rating systems (continued)

The obligor rating assignment is reviewed at least annually as required by the Grouprsquos credit risk policy When credit

events occur to the obligor rating review is triggered promptly in accordance with the Grouprsquos credit risk policy

Rating override process is designed to allow the credit analyst to include any other relevant credit information that has

not already been captured in the rating process The overrides are unlimited in terms of downgrades for reasons of

conservatism and prudential consideration Overrides to better grades (upgrades) are however more confined All

upgrades will be limited to a maximum of two sub-grades with a pre-defined list of appropriate reasons All overrides

need to be signed off by a higher level of credit approval authority The internal rating policy sets a maximum limit of

10 of rating cases for overrides The use of overrides and override reasons are analysed as part of rating system

performance review

(E) Approach for determining provisions

The approach in determining provisions is in line with the Grouprsquos accounting policies For details please refer to Note

It should be noted that actual loss and expected loss are measured and calculated using different methodologies which

compliant to relevant regulatory and accounting standards which are therefore not directly comparable The limitation

arises mainly from the fundamental differences in the definition of ldquolossrdquo The expected loss under Basel II which estimates

the economic loss arising from the potential default of the obligor by taking into account the time value of money and

including the direct and indirect costs associated with the recoveries on the credit exposures while actual loss is the net

individually assessed impairment charges and write-offs made during the year in accordance with the accounting

standards

The actual default rate (actual PD) is measured by using the number of obligors (for wholesale exposures) or number of

accounts (for retail exposures) defaulted whereas the estimated probability of default (estimated PD) is the long run

average default rate over an economic cycle and is the estimated one-year forward-looking PD estimated from the

beginning of the reporting period

Hence actual PD in a particular year (ldquopoint-in-timerdquo) will typically differ from the estimated PD which is the ldquothrough-the-

cyclerdquo estimate as economies move above or below the cyclical norms

The estimated PD is more conservative than the actual default rate for most asset classes

4 Credit risk under the standardised (credit risk) approach

41 Ratings from External Credit Assessment Institutions (ldquoECAIrdquo)

The ECAIs recognised by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch The Group continues to adopt STC

approach based on external ratings to determine the risk weight of the following asset classes of exposures

- Sovereign

- Public sector entity

- Multilateral development bank

The Group performs the ECAI issuer ratings mapping to its exposures in the banking book in accordance with Part 4 of

the Banking (Capital) Rules

42 Credit risk mitigation

For credit exposures adopting STC approach the main types of recognised collaterals include cash deposits debt

securities and shares for non past-due exposures In addition real estate collateral is also recognised for past due

exposures Those collaterals taken by the Group are compliant with the comprehensive approach in its treatment of

recognised collateral for credit risk mitigation in capital calculation as mentioned in the Banking (Capital) Rules For credit

exposures under STC approach the recognised guarantees for capital calculation include the guarantee given by

sovereigns public sector entities multilateral development banks with a lower risk weight than the counterparty and

corporate with external rating of A- or above

5 Counterparty credit risk-related exposures

The Grouprsquos counterparty credit risk arising from OTC derivative transactions repo-style transactions both in trading and

banking book is subject to the same risk management framework as mentioned in Note 4 to the Financial Statements The

Group establishes credit limit through formal credit approval procedures to control the pre-settlement credit risk arising from

OTC derivatives transactions and settlement limit to control the settlement risk arising from foreign exchange-related

transactions in both the trading book and banking book The Group monitors the risk exposure due to fluctuations in the

market by using the current exposure and the potential exposure value of the transactions Exceptions or excesses are timely

and closely identified and monitored by credit risk management units

Currently the Group uses the Current Exposure Method to measure and monitor the counterparty credit exposures which

comprises current exposures and potential future exposures

The Group establishes prudent eligibility criteria and haircut policy of debt securities being pledged as collateral for repo-style

transactions

The Group formulates policy for classification of credit assets according to the PD of individual counterparty and the period of

overdue If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred impairment allowance will be provided

according to HKFRS and regulatory requirements

6 Assets securitisation

The Group has not acted as an originating institution for the issuance of securitisation transactions business during the year

Securitisation exposures arise from the Grouprsquos investing activities and the related exposures are commercial mortgage loans

As an investing institution the Group has adopted the IRB approach to calculate the credit risk for asset securitisations in 2011

In prior years the Group adopted the standardised (securitisation) approach to calculate the credit risk for securitisation

exposures

The ECAIs used by the Group include Standard amp Poorrsquos Moodyrsquos and Fitch

Equity holdings in other entities are accounted for in accordance with the underlying intentions of holdings at the inception of

acquisition The classifications for equity holdings taken for relationship and strategic purposes will be separated from those

taken for other purposes (including capital appreciation) Investments in equity shares which are intended to be held on a

continuing basis but which do not comprise investments in subsidiaries are classified as available-for-sale securities and are

reported in the balance sheet as investments in securities

For equity exposures in banking book other than subsidiaries the Group applies the same accounting treatment and

valuation methodologies as detailed in the Notes 29(4) and 212 to the Financial Statements If additional investment is made

subsequently such that an investee becomes an associate jointly controlled entity or subsidiary then the investment is

reclassified in accordance with the Grouprsquos accounting policies

Management of Risks

The Overview

The principal types of risk inherent in the business of the Group include credit risk liquidity risk market risk interest rate risk

foreign exchange risk and operational risk The Grouprsquos risk management goal is to maximise shareholder value by managing risk

independent non-executive directors to oversee the Grouprsquos various types of risks and approve the high-level risk management

policies

According to the risk management strategies established by the Board risk management policies and controls are devised and

reviewed regularly by relevant departments and respective management committees chaired by the Chief Executive (the ldquoCErdquo)

The Risk Management Units develop policies and procedures for identifying measuring monitoring and controlling credit risk

market risk operational risk reputation risk legal and compliance risk interest rate risk liquidity risk and strategic risk to set

appropriate risk limits and to continually monitor risks

The Auditing Department conducts independent reviews on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management policies and

controls to ensure that the Group is operating according to the established policies procedures and limits

Independence is crucial to effective risk management To ensure the independence of the Risk Management Department and the

Auditing Department they report directly to the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Committee respectively Both

committees are specialised committees set up by the Board and all members are directors of the Bank

The Group has formulated and implemented the Operational Risk Management Policy which provides a bank-wide

classification of operational risks and sets out the requirements on risk identification assessment reporting monitoring and

mitigation

To ensure operational risks being under proper monitoring and supervision effective internal control system has been

enforced by means of computer systems and rigorous procedures In addition through coaching and frequent training the

Group has maintained teams of experienced and competent staff in all business and management areas to execute and

monitor the operations of the Group

requirements from time to time Furthermore the Auditing Department performs independent checking to ascertain that the

procedures are properly followed and reports discrepancies found directly to the Audit Committee

In order to meet regulatory bodiesrsquo requirements and to facilitate the implementation of operational risk management

framework a dedicated division in the Risk Management Department monitors collects analyzes reports the records and

details of the operational risk losses and incidents

The Group has reviewed and enhanced the Business Continuity Plan of all critical banking services To ensure practicality of

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism

The Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism of the Group is based on the principles of ldquoeffective motivationrdquo and ldquosound

remuneration managementrdquo It links remuneration performance and risk management tightly and encourages staff to enhance

their performance and at the same time strengthen their mindset of risk management so as to achieve sound remuneration

management

The Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism of the Group is applicable for Nanyang Commercial Bank Limited and all its

subsidiaries (including the branches and institutions both in and out of Hong Kong)

ldquoSenior Managementrdquo and ldquoKey Personnelrdquo

The following groups of employees have been identified as the ldquoSenior Managementrdquo and ldquoKey Personnelrdquo defined in the

HKMArsquos Guideline on a Sound Remuneration System

ldquoSenior Managementrdquo The senior executives designated by the Board who are responsible for oversight of the

Grouprsquos firm-wide strategy or the Grouprsquos material business lines include Chief Executive and Deputy General

Managers

ldquoKey Personnelrdquo The employees whose individual business activities involve the assumption of material risk which

may expose the AI to material amounts of risk or whose individual responsibilities are directly and materially linked to

review and thereafter to the Board of Directors for approval The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board

of Directors will seek opinions of other Board committees (eg Risk Management Committee Audit Committee etc) where

they consider necessary under the circumstances

Corporate Governance (continued)

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism

1 Performance Management Mechanism

To reflect the corporate culture of ldquoAchieving Performance and Effectivenessrdquo the Group has put in place a performance

management mechanism to formalize the performance management at the levels of the Group units and individuals The

annual targets of the Group will be cascaded down under the framework of balanced scorecard whereby the performance

of the senior management and different units (including business units risk control units and other units) would be

assessed from the perspectives of financial customer building blockkey tasks human capital risk management and

compliance As to the performance management of individual staff at different levels the annual targets of the Group will

be tied to the job requirements of different posts at different levels through the model of level-based performance

management Performance of individuals will be appraised with reference to their accomplishment of work targets

contribution towards overall performance of their corresponding units and compliance of risk management and internal

control policies Under this mechanism not only the target accomplishment has been taken into account the risk

exposure involved during the course of work of a staff member could also be evaluated and managed so as to provide

safeguards to the Group against the risk and ensure normal operations The mechanism is also coupled with the

assessment on system of values thereby facilitating the attainment of the core values of the Group

2 Risk Modification of Remuneration

To implement the principle of aligning the performance and remuneration with the risk based on ldquoThe Risk Adjustment

Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquoof BOCHK the key risk modifiers of the bank have been incorporated into

the performance management mechanism of the Group The size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group is

calculated according to the risk adjusted performance results approved by the Board of BOCHK and is subject to its

discretion In doing so the total amount to be paid to staff as variable remuneration would be determined on the basis of

the risk adjusted performance results This method enables the Group to fix the Grouprsquos Variable Remuneration Pool

after considering risk exposures and changes and to maintain effective risk management through the remuneration

mechanism

ldquoThe Risk Adjustment Method for Group Bonus Funding Mechanicsrdquo consists of ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo and ldquoPost Result Score

Adjustmentrdquo

ldquoRisk Modifier measures the risk factors that are quantifiable and directly linked to the Group financial performance

including credit risk market risk interest rate risk as well as liquidity risk With most of the indicators being quantitative

ldquoRisk Modifierrdquo utilizes both absolute and relative measures and assesses the risk level from both ex-ante and ex-

post perspectives

ldquoPost Result Score Adjustment measures the risk factors that are not quantifiable aiming at the overall adjustment

to the group performance results upon the occurrence of major risk events These risk factors include operational risk

legal and compliance risk as well as reputation risk ldquoPost Result Score Adjustmentrdquo utilizes qualitative measures to

assess the impact of non quantifiable risk factors to the group performance results from ex-post perspective

Sound Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

The Key Features of the Remuneration and Incentive Mechanism (continued)

3 Performance-based and Risk-adjusted Remuneration Management

The remuneration of staff is composed of ldquofixed remunerationrdquo and ldquovariable remunerationrdquo the proportion of one to the

other for individual staff members depends on job grades roles responsibilities and functions of the staff with the

prerequisite that balance has to be struck between the fixed and variable portion Generally speaking the higher the job

grades andor the greater the responsibilities the higher will be the proportion of variable remuneration so as to

encourage the staff to follow the philosophy of prudent risk management and sound long-term financial stability

Every year the Group will conduct periodic review on the fixed remuneration of the staff with reference to various factors

like remuneration strategy market pay trend and staff salary level and to determine the remuneration based on the

affordability of the Group as well as the performance of the Group units and individuals As mentioned above

performance assessment criteria include quantitative and qualitative factors as well as financial and non-financial

indicators

According to the Group Bonus Funding Mechanics of BOCHK the size of the Variable Remuneration Pool of the Group

is determined by the Board of BOCHK on the basis of the financial performance of the Group and the achievement of

non-financial strategic business targets under the long-term development of the BOCHK Group Thorough consideration

is also made to the risk factors in the determination process The size of the Pool is reached based on pre-defined

formulaic calculations but the Board of BOCHK can make discretionary adjustment to it if deemed appropriate under

prevailing circumstances When the BOCHK group performance is relatively weak (eg failed to meet the threshold

performance level) no variable remuneration will be paid out that year in principle however the Board of BOCHK owns

the rights of discretionary decision

As far as individual units and individual staff are concerned allocation of the variable remuneration is closely linked to the

performance of the units and that of each individual staff as well as the unit heshe is attaching to the assessment of

which should include risk modifiers The performance and remuneration arrangement of risk control personnel are

determined by the achievements of their core job responsibilities independent from the business they oversee for front-

line risk controllers a matrix reporting and performance management system is applied to ensure the suitability of

performance-based remuneration Within the acceptable risk level of the Group the better the performance of the unit

and the individual staff the higher will be the variable remuneration for the individual staff

4 Linking the payout of the variable remuneration with the time horizon of the risk to reflect the long-term value

creation of the Group

To work out the principle of aligning remuneration with the time horizon of risk and to ensure that sufficient time is

allowed to ascertain the associated risk and its impact before the actual payout payout of the variable remuneration of

staff is required to be deferred in cash if such amount reaches certain prescribed threshold The Group adopts a

progressive approach towards deferral The longer the time horizon of risk in the activities conducted by the staff the

higher the job grade or the higher amount of the variable remuneration the higher will be the proportion of deferral

Deferral lasts for 3 years

The vesting of the deferred variable remuneration is linked with the long term value creation of the Group The vesting

conditions are linked to the yearly performance (financial and non-financial) of the BOCHK Group in the next 3 years to

the effect that the variable remuneration could only be vested to such extent as set for the relevant year in that 3-year

period subject to the condition that the BOCHK Grouprsquos performance has met the threshold requirement in the

corresponding year In case of material revision of the original estimates of the performance of the Group or individual

units or if a staff is found to commit fraud or found to be of malfeasance or in violation of internal control policies the

unvested portion of the deferred variable remuneration of the relevant staff will be clawed back

Advances are impaired and impairment losses are incurred if and only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred and that loss event(s) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the advances that can be reliably estimated If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on advances has been incurred the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows generated by the advances Objective evidence that advances are impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the holder of the asset about the loss events

The contractnotional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments held by the Group are set out in the following tables The contractnotional amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the balance sheet dates and certain of them provide a basis for comparison with fair value instruments recognised on the condensed consolidated balance sheet However they do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair values of the instruments and therefore do not indicate the Grouprsquos exposure to credit or market risks The derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates market interest rates metal prices or equity prices relative to their terms The aggregate fair values of derivative financial instruments assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF Nanyang Commercial Bank Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 1 to 100 which comprises the condensed consolidated balance

sheet of Nanyang Commercial Bank Limited (the ldquoBankrdquo) and its subsidiaries (together the ldquoGrouprdquo) as at 30 June 2012 and the

related condensed consolidated income statement the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income the condensed

consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six-month period then

ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes The directors of the Bank are responsible for

the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim

Financial Reportingrdquo Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to

report our conclusion solely to you as a body in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose We do

not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ldquoReview of Interim Financial

Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entityrdquo issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants A

review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting

matters and applying analytical and other review procedures A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in

accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become

aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared

in all material respects in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ldquoInterim Financial Reportingrdquo
