Vietnamese economy in 2006In 2006, Vietnam reached milestones of success in various areas. It has shown socio-economic progress and witnessed special national events such as the Vietnam APEC CEO Summit successfully held in 2006, Vietnam becoming an official member of the WTO, and Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) status granted to Vietnam by the United States Congress:
GDP has increased by 8.17% (compared to the target of 8%);•
Export turnover has reached USD39.6 billion which •is an increase of 22% compared to that of 2005, accounting for 60% of the GDP.
Import turnover has reached USD44.4 billion, which is an •increase of 20%; the trade deficit has decreased to the lowest-ever 12.1%; the total invested capital has reached around 41% GDP (compared to the target of 38.6%);
The consumer price index (CPI) has increased by 6.6% •which is lower than the GDP and lower than the 8.4% increase of 2005; 2006 was the third consecutive year in which the CPI decreased.
Vietnam was a latecomer to the stock market scene; however, outstanding successes were still achieved in its fledgling stock market. In addition, financial investment companies were established acting as capital mobilization channels. However, these companies were also the commercial bank system’s competitors in capital mobilization and deposit transfer.
In 2006, Vietnam’s banking sector continued to have a high growth rate in a wide range of operational fields; as a whole, monetary and financial markets were stable. The total sources of mobilized capital increased by 35%, while the “economic lending-debit balance” increased by 21.4% in 2005.
In term of macroscopic management, the State Bank of Vietnam promulgated important policies and mechanisms in compliance with international standards and protocols and with the present situation of the domestic banking sector, for the purpose of fulfilling bilateral and multilateral commitments to opening financial markets and to enhancing the commercial bank system supervisory role.
During the year, the gold price fluctuated, increasing by an average of 36.6% compared to that of 2005, which is the highest average increase compared to previous years. The USD value was stable due to the decrease in the international market price and the high increase in the sources of USD into Vietnam. On the other hand, Vietnam was badly affected by bird flu, hoof and mouth disease, storms and floods.
Banking operations in 2006The previously mentioned advantages, disadvantages and opportunities had a strong effect on every aspect of the business operations of commercial banks in 2006. Notwithstanding, Sacombank achieved impressive and outstanding successes in 2006 – the first year of the 5-year plan 2006-2010 and the important transitional year of the 10-year strategic plan 2001–2010. These were proud achievements for Sacombank to celebrate on its 15th anniversary
Sacombank continued with its business policies of dynamic growth and diversification, meeting customers’ demands with highest-quality service. In addition, Sacombank developed strong financial capacity and administrative competencies, restructured its mechanisms, updated its banking technology, established rules and procedures, expanded its network, increased market share and diversified its commercial banking products and services. It helped to fulfill developmental needs and to meet the competition requirements during the process of integration.
Sacombank started listing its shares on July 12th, 2006 on the Hochiminh City Securities Trading Center which was an important event demonstrating Sacombank’s determination to overcome challenges.
Sacombank established better relationships with domestic and overseas financial institutions, continued to receive technical assistance from IFC, ANZ and CIDA, cooperated with the international credit card agency, and participated in international conferences and fora in the USA and Singapore. Sacombank was most proud to receive prestigious awards from the HCMC People’s Committee, the State Bank Governor and influential domestic and overseas organizations.
19
The 2006 success was the affirmation of Sacombank’s dedication to sustainable development. After its shares and brand name had been listed on the stock market, Sacombank enjoyed an ever-increasing reputation which enabled it to fulfill its obligations towards the State Bank, its shareholders and customers and its own employees.
1. total Assets:
At the 2006 year end, total assets reached VND24,776 billion which is an increase of 71.4% compared to that of 2005. It means that total assets increased 7.9 times compared to that of 2001, with an average increase of 52% per year. The structure of the total assets was organized to ensure not only high profitability but also payment capability. Of the total assets, the profitable assets accounted for 82.5%.
2. Chartered Capital:
At the end of 2006, Sacombank’s chartered capital was VND2,089 billion which is an increase of 67.2% compared to that of the beginning of 2006. Compared to 2001, the chartered capital increased 11 times, with an average increase of 62.3% per year. The capital contribution of strategic foreign shareholders accounted for 30% which was in compliance with the State Bank’s regulations.
With the present chartered capital, Sacombank ranks first in joint-stock commercial banks and fifth in commercial banks in Vietnam. The increase in chartered capital in 2006 facilitated Sacombank to develop financial capacity, enhance competitiveness, expand networks and meet the regulated stipulations concerning capital safety in banking operations. Besides, the investment cooperation of IFC,
ANZ and Dragon Financial Holdings strategic partners brought about opportunities to gain access to and gain experience from international practices and standards. This was seen as a positive move in the process of integration.
Sacombank properly implemented the setting-up and use of funds in compliance with the regulations of the State Bank and the resolution of the annual general shareholder meeting. The Chartered Capital Additional Fund, the Financial Contingency Fund and the Retained Profits Fund were set up in a way to ensure the benefits of shareholders and, simultaneously, generated money accumulation contributing to the build-up of financial strength and financial safety in banking operations. At the end of 2006, owner’s equity reached 2,870 billion, accounting for 11.6 % of total sources of capital, an increase of 52.1% compared to the beginning of the year. It was a 13.25 times of increase compared to that of 2001 with an average increase of 69.9% per year.
3. Capital mobilization:
Capital mobilization plays a key role in current banking activities where the investment of capital into socio-economic development is required and where there is a large amount of unemployed capital from the population ready for mobilization. Therefore, in 2006 there was still strong competition for sources of capital through mobilization between commercial banks and for attracting unemployed capital; hence, commercial banks competed with one another through policies of improving customer services and through interest rates and promotional campaigns. At the same time, the heated stock market led to the emergence of many financial investment companies which comprised the gigantic capital mobilization channels also competing with the commercial bank system.

With the expansion of the network system and the recruitment of professional sales staff, Sacombank further developed brand name advertising and made a strong impression on clients coming for money deposits by providing a helpful, courteous service with good customer service skills, through which the mobilization of sources of capital became more effective. At the end of 2006, sources of capital through mobilization (converted to VND) reached VND21,338 billion, an increase of 74% compared to that of 2005 and twice higher than the growth rate of the whole sector (35%). Compared to 2001, the sources of capital through mobilization increased 7.5 times with an average increase of 50.5% per year.
Regarding the structure of capital sources, VND accounted for 73%, gold for 11.9% and foreign currency for 15.1%. Sources of capital from businesses and the general public had the largest proportion, accounting for 93.9% of the total sources of capital, an increase of 75.4% compared to that of 2005. Sources of capital referred to as short-term deposits accounted for 82%, an increase of 71.6% compared to that of 2005.
To further develop sources of capital through mobilization and to increase long-term deposits, Sacombank continued to negotiate with international financial institutions for the disbursement of sources of capital (trust funds and invested capital). The year-end balance reached 374.7 billion VND, accounting for 1.8 % of total sources of capital through mobilization, of which RDF II accounted for 133.9 billion VND, FMO for 190.8 billion VND and SMEDF for 50 billion VND.
The dramatic increase in sources of capital through mobilization and the logical structure of sources of capital
demonstrated that Sacombank’s expansion network of larger operational areas and spacious premises started to produce the desired results. It is a competitive advantage for Sacombank during the overall integration period.
4. Credit operations:
As a result of the administrative reform and the economic integration, capital requirements for social development continued to increase and consequently helped to facilitate credit growth. The outstanding loan of 2006 showed a moderate level of increase (21.4%) due to the loan restrictions imposed by the state-owned commercial banks for reconstructing the outstanding loan and settling bad debts. Unlike the previous years, the State Bank encouraged higher outstanding loan provided that the loan portfolio was reasonably restructured and credit quality was strictly monitored.
Sacombank’s total outstanding loan (converted to VND) at year end reached VND14,394 billion, accounting for 74 % of total capital sources, an increase of 70.9% compared to the beginning of the year, which was three times higher than the growth rate of the whole sector. Compared to 2001, the outstanding loan had increased 6.2 times with an average increase of 44.7% per year.
Type of currency:• VND still played a key role with a lending proportion of 74.8%; foreign currency accounted for 21.3% and gold for 3.9%.
Type of fund:• short-term loans accounted for 65.1%, medium-term and long-term loans for 34.9%.
Economic grouping:• State-owned enterprises accounted for 0.56%, private enterprises for 52.6% and individuals and households accounted for 46.8% (2005: 39.62%).
The proportion of lending to mobilization at year end was 67.5%, down 1.1% compared to 2005 (68.6%), and down

14.1% compared to 2001 (81.6%). It had an impact on Sacombank’s progress towards sustainable development, with a gradual diversification of the list of capital available for use in order to move Sacombank towards the goal of decreasing dependence on credit operations.
Sacombank also developed new credit products and cooperated with well known enterprises to provide the client with banking products and services and insurance services. This was the new strategy for product marketing and sales as shown in the overall plan of Sacombank’s network operating system for maximizing the advantages available to gain more benefits.
In 2005, the State Bank promulgated Decision no. 493/2005/QÑ-NHNN regulating the classification of debts, setting up and using the Credit Risk Contingency Fund for the purpose of gradually enabling credit operations to comply with
international standards and practices. The Decision had a strong influence on commercial bank operations relating to lending, collection of debts, and setting-up of contingency and profit funds. However, Sacombank strictly abided by the decision and experienced a high loan growth with the credit quality under tight control. The non performing loan was 0.95% of which bad debts accounted for 0.72%. The Risk Contingency Fund at year-end reached VND81.4 billion an increase of 77.4% compared to that of 2005. It was Sacombank’s prominent position in the process of outstanding loan reconstruction based on risk dispersion lending, which applies if the beneficiaries are small and medium enterprises, individuals and households.
After experience had been gained during the establishment of an enterprise credit-based classification system, a pilot development program for individual credit-based classification was initiated in 2006. Although still a pilot, Sacombank’s internal credit-based classification system proved to be a most effective tool for the assessment and classification of clients’ credit worthiness, for credit quality management and for risk forecasts, etc. It would serve as a basis for decisions on the granting of credits with specified limits, credit terms or periods, and interest rates. Sacombank will seek permission from the State Bank to apply this system for classifying debts and setting up Credit Risk Contingency Funds.
Pledges, potential debts on opening L/C and bank guarantees were tightly controlled by professional measures. At the end of the year, the balance of L/C and guarantee operations was VND2,629.6 billion, an increase of 81.2% compared to that of the beginning of 2006.
5. Investment operations:
During the integration process in which the economy prospers and the stock market is booming due to the State-promoted policy on equitization of enterprises, the potential opportunities to develop investment operations are enormous. Along with a rapid increase in chartered capital for meeting the capital requirements of investment operations, the formation of joint ventures and mergers and the contribution of capital to business organizations, Sacombank has been implementing a policy on diversification of investment portfolio. It was for the purpose of secondary settlement of payment, risk dispersion and profit maximization. At year end, the total balance invested in capital securities, debt securities and capital contribution for share purchase reached VND3,109 billion, an increase of 61.2% compared to that of 2005. As a whole, investment operations significantly contributed to Sacombank’s comprehensive profit performance.

New products and services such as Sacom Visa Debit, the VNPay co-brand card, the Sacom Metro co-brand card, Master Card payment acceptance and money service transfer via ATM started to make substantial progress. The total number of cards issued in 2006 was 58,775, which is an increase of 49% compared to that of 2005. The total number of cards in circulation at year end reached 94,144. The card acceptance network was reconstructed and expanded with 1,317 card acceptance terminals by year end.
In addition, the Card Center took the required steps in preparation of starting a joint venture such as investments in human resources, managerial experience and competency, networks for card payment acceptance, material facilities and technical infrastructure.
8. Business Results:
In 2006, Sacombank continued to make a profit and a profit larger than ever before. Pre-tax income reached VND611.33 billion, which is an increase of 95.4% compared to that of 2005, 15.5 times higher than in 2001. The average annual growth rate of pre-tax income in the 2001-2006 period was 74%.
In addition, there was a positive movement in the income and expenditure structures with a gradual increase of non-credit income, which helped to minimize the dependence on income from credit operations. Operating expenses decreased in volume compared to the previous years which contributed to higher profitability.
9. financial targets and operational SafetyThe average ratio of profit to chartered capital and •additional chartered capital fund was 20.56%, equaling that of last year;
The average ratio of profit to total assets was 2.08%, •higher than that of last year (1.85%);
The capital adequacy ratio was 11.82% (higher than •that stipulated by the State Bank (8%));
The percentage of sources of short-term capital / •medium and long-term loans was 15.54% (lower than that stipulated by the State Bank (40%));
In general, although there was a rapid increase in total assets and “own-acquisition” capital, profitability ratio indices were the same as or higher than those of 2005. Percentages of regulatory capital for operational risk were in compliance with the State Bank’s regulations. All proved that Sacombank was moving towards sustainable development and strictly abided by the State’s guidelines and policies.

Business administration:
1. Restructuring of the operational System:
In order to meet the requirements of integration and competition, Sacombank should rapidly develop both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of business operation. In other words, Sacombank should restructure its operating system to establish its product lines on a client-oriented service basis. Therefore, Sacombank began to restructure its operating system in 2006, starting with the head office by establishing new operational sections / departments, while at the same time checking on and re-establishing the functions and responsibilities of the already existing departments.
2. operational Systems management:
Management Board, Inspection Committee and Management Committee are the three organs working independently with a clearly defined division of work and responsibilities. The three cooperate with each other in management, administration and supervision. Each consists of experienced and highly skilled members of the banking industry, law-abiding individuals with a strong sense of responsibility and good team spirit. They work closely together to maintain unity and oneness of mind and to improve effectiveness in management, administration, and supervision of Sacombank’s operational aspects.
The Management Board operates on the basis of a permanent management system; the Inspection Committee independently performs its inspection function with help from the internal control-and-inspection network and the Management Committee, through the overall banking operations in progress, concentrates on the monitoring of the execution of business plans and provides timely guidance and appropriate measures.
3. operational Sector / Section-based management model:
Along with the rapid development of the network system, the management model based on operational sectors/sections is increasingly proving to be preeminent. It permits Sacombank to direct and streamline operations throughout, while timely meeting business demands at the level of the units. The system of decentralized administration with each level having its own area of responsibility has allowed the operational sectors/sections to play a pro-active role, improving business planning and the orderly implementation of financial business plans, network expansion, human resources, etc.
4. operational Risk management:
Following this new method, Sacombank has established an Operational Risk Management Department. The Department works independently aiming at professionalizing risk management for all aspects of banking operations. In addition, with professional assistance from IFC, ANZ and CIDA, operational risk management is conducted in the most effective manner.
5. human Resources and professional training:
When growing continuously, Sacombank needs to anticipate future demands on human resources both in terms of quality and quantity. At the end of 2006, the total number of employees was 3,806, increasing by 1,152 people with an increase of 43.4 % compared to the beginning of the year. Compared to 2001, staff increased by 3,058, with an average annual increase of 38.6%.
Analyzed from a gender point of view, Sacombank’s organizational structure showed a proportion of 50.4% female and 49.6% male at the end of the year; analyzed from an educational background point of view, the human resources showed a proportion of 1% post-graduates, 67% university and senior college graduates, 8% junior college graduates, and 24% senior high school graduates.
The quality of human resources is a factor that has a significant impact on whether or not Sacombank’s goal of achieving sustainable development can be reached. Therefore,, Sacombank pays much attention to recruitment based on “input” quality criteria, on professional training and further training with the aim to provide Sacombank’s staff with current knowledge and skills and with special emphasis on the role of self-training. The seminars / workshops which Sacombank organizes regularly at the units to provide information, professional knowledge and work experience are the best basis for fulfilling individual
24 Annual Report 2006
Annual Report 2006
learning needs. These activities not only help to significantly reduce training costs but also provide employees with a way to self-training.
Along with the program to restructure the operating system, Sacombank has effectively implemented a policy on attracting and keeping talented staff and on the rotation of management level jobs. In addition, Sacombank has gradually been perfecting its recruitment procedures and criteria, and it has offered staff training and management development in order to improve management skills with the aim to develop better management practices. It has helped Sacombank to expand its capacity for meeting the integration demands.
6. Banking technology:
The modernization of the banking systems plays a key role in the banking industry. State-of-the-art banking technology for example is used for data-centralized business administration and management, risk management, banking product-and-service development, accounting and financial administration, internal operations supervision/auditing, electronic banking services development and payment transaction via ATM. Therefore, investing in banking technology is Sacombank’s first priority.
In 2006, Sacombank started to apply T-24 Corebanking in 40 transaction terminals covering all of the northern sectors. New branches and banking transaction offices were established and put into operation. In addition, Sacombank has gradually set up a network security system and an overall banking database/archive system. Sacombank has also established action plans in case of emergency to ensure the continuing operation of the system based on technical assistance from IFC and ANZ.
7. Administrative policies:
In 2005 and 2006, the State Bank promulgated important policies on banking operations based on international standards and practices. Sacombank had its banking system restructured in accordance with those policies, amending, updating, promulgating and systematizing scores of policies and written guidelines to provide timely guidance for the implementation of the new regulations/laws, to help executive staff members to perform their respective banking operations in a proper and overall system-based manner and to pave the way for operational standardization. In addition, the registry-based policy web page has already been completed; the information needs to be updated on a regular basis, resulting in a reliable address to search for Sacombank’s information and policies.
8. development of New products and Services:
Due to the increasingly harsh competition in many aspects of banking operations, it is imperative to improve and diversify products and services. With experience learned from ANZ, Sacombank introduced several new products to the market in 2006, in addition to continually improving existing products. In particular, those products using e-banking technology were put to the test with favorable results.
Compared to the previous years, a noticeable improvement consisted in the research and design of new products and services and in the greater professionalism in the organization of training and promotional activities. For optimizing the network system, Sacombank already operated several products and services jointly with other banks.
At the same time as restructuring the operating system, Product Marketing & Development for Individuals and Corporates Department was set up at the head office to assist in the standardization of banking products and services, professionalizing implementation procedures and, in due course, assisting clients with information.

9. Brand development, International Relations and public Relations:
In 2006, Sacombank was making greater progress in brand promotion and community relations than in the previous year which contributed to Sacombank’s improvement of brand status and prestige.
Domestically, Sacombank successfully held a number of events: the listing of shares on the stock market, Sacombank’s 15th anniversary, inaugurations of new branches and subsidiaries, the implementation of promotional programs, the granting of scholarships by Sacombank and the Sacombank cross-country championship (for community health awareness). Sacombank staff attended workshops/seminars, participated in exhibitions, organized humanitarian relief work, etc. In addition, Sacombank’s brand promotions appeared in the mass media in advertising programs.
Internationally, Sacombank attended meetings such as the International Monetary and Financial Committee Meeting held in Singapore, presided over by the International Monetary Fund and meetings with the correspondent banks and the Asia Pacific Investment Conference held in the USA. With the results achieved in 2006, Sacombank was able to build up trust in the STB shares among investors in Vietnam and overseas and ensured that its brand will be recognized in future.
10. Share listing
Sacombank announced listing its shares on July 12th, 2006 on the securities trading floor in HCMC. Sacombank’s share (STB) price fluctuated following the general market trend without any sudden increase-and-decrease changes. In addition, Sacombank strictly abided by the securities regulations and fulfilled all the obligations
of a listed company. With the results achieved in 2006, Sacombank was building up domestic and overseas investors’ confidence regarding the STB shares.
11. Internal Audit / Supervision:
Sacombank conducted regular and continuous auditing and inspections with in-depth, fact-based management and risk forecast. Right from the start of 2006, Sacombank promulgated self-audit and self-correction protocols for enhancing the subsidiaries’ role of self-audit and self-correction in quality management. In addition, the Auditing Committee set up audit teams for ameliorating all operational aspects of the whole banking system.
12. Network expansion:
In 2006, 46 new transaction terminals (including 14 branches and 32 transaction offices) were established, bringing the total number of transaction terminals in 38 provinces or cities up to 156. Sacombank strictly implemented the State Bank’s decision on classification and transformation of transaction offices and level 2-branches.
With the network expansion rate in the 2001-2006 period, Sacombank moved one step closer to market control, increasing its market share and laying the groundwork for developing into a multi-functional and multi-ownership financial corporation in the future. Sacombank’s transaction network and spacious, impressive premises at its headquarters allowed Sacombank to bolster client confidence, and thus provided competitive advantages for Sacombank during the integration period.
In addition, Sacombank’s organization costs were already accounted for in the previous years, improvement of professional skills as well as the self-training in human resources, and premises network will be Sacombank’s asset value potential. All of this will serve as a basis for business value assessment for investors. The comparative advantage Sacombank has over others shows that Sacombank has been successfully implementing its business strategies.
13. operation of subsidiaries:
In 2006, Sacombank established three new subsidiaries, namely:
SacombankLeasing (Leasing Company)•
SacomRex (Remittance Express Company) and •
SBS (Securities Company)•
26 Annual Report 2006
Annual Report 2006
It means that Sacombank now has a total of four subsidiaries which fulfils the development strategies set out for the 2001-2010 period.
Sacombank’s operating capital provided to subsidiaries reached 484 billion at year end, which is an increase of 472 billion compared to the beginning of the year and accounted for 23.2% of Sacombank’s total chartered capital.
As a whole, although the subsidiaries were established recently, they were able to stabilize their human resource structure gradually, improve internal control protocols and procedures and operate smoothly and reliably. It was a direct result of strong efforts made during the pre-establishment period.
14. technical Assistance projects:
Strategic shareholders IFC, ANZ and DC assisted Sacombank in various strategic aspects and appointed experienced experts to work at Sacombank on a full-time basis. For making use of this support, Sacombank set up a team responsible for technical assistance projects and acceptance of advice on banking administration and the restructuring of operating systems, on Corebanking T-24 and Data Center development, on the development of service distribution channels and new products and on risk management activities.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (“the Bank”) and its subsidiaries (together, “the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
AudItoR’S ReSpoNSIBIlIty
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Vietnamese and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
opINIoN
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2006, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards and prevailing regulations applicable to banks and other credit institutions operating in SR Vietnam.

Annual Report 2006
2.2 CoNSolIdAtIoN
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those companies over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.
Inter-company balances, transactions and unrealized gains on transactions between those companies and the Group are eliminated. Unrealized losses also eliminated unless transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure the consistency with the policies adopted by the Bank.
(b) Associates and joint ventures
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control.
(c) Investments in other entities
Investments in other entities comprise shareholding of less than 20% in unlisted companies. Investments in other entities are stated at market value at acquisition date. Difference between market value and acquisition cost is recognized in balance sheet as a deferred expense or deferred income. These deferred expenses or incomes are then amortized to the income statement. Provision is made where there is a diminution in value. The accounting treatment of this provision is stated Circular 12/2006/TT-BTC issued by Ministry of Finance on 21 February 2006.
Since fair values for unlisted securities cannot be measured reliably, these investments are recognised at the cost of acquisition. Dividends are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
2.3 fISCAl yeAR
The Group’s fiscal year is from 1 January to 31 December.
2.4 foReIGN CuRReNCIeS

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at each month end are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the month end date. Differences arising from monthly revaluation are recorded in the revaluation reserve in the balance sheet. Foreign exchange differences are transferred to the income statement at the balance sheet date.
2.5 INteReSt INCome ANd expeNSe

35
2.7 INVeStmeNtS IN SeCuRItIeS
(a) Trading securities
Listed trading securities are initially stated at the cost of acquisition. Subsequently, they are measured at cost less provision. Provision is provided for where there is a diminution in value. The accounting treatment of this provision is stated in Circular 12/2006/TT-BTC issued by Ministry of Finance on 21 February 2006. Unlisted securities are stated at the cost of acquisition since the fair value of these securities cannot be measured reliably.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal of trading securities are recognised in the consolidated income statement and are reported on a net basis.
(b) Held-to-maturity debt securities
Held-to-maturity debt securities are stated at cost of acquisition.
Post-acquisition interest income of debt securities is recognized in the income statement on the accruals basis. Pre-acquisition interest income of debt securities is deducted against the cost of acquisition.
(c) Available-for-sale securities
Post-acquisition interest income of debt securities is recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis. Pre-acquisition interest income of debt securities is deducted against the cost of acquisition.
Available-for-sale equity securities are stated at cost less provision. Provision is provided for where there is a diminution in value. The accounting treatment of this provision is stated in Circular 12/2006/TT-BTC issued by Ministry of Finance on 21 February 2006.
2.8 loANS, AdVANCeS ANd fINANCe leASeS to CuStomeRS
Loans, advances and finance leases are stated at net of provisions. Short-term loans are those with a repayment date within one year from the date the loan was advanced, medium term loans are those with a final repayment date between one and five years from the date the loan was advanced and long-term loans are those with a repayment date of more than five years from the date the loan was advanced.
Loans, advances and finance leases to customers are granted in accordance with Decision 1627/QD-NHNN dated 31 December 2001, Decision 127/2005/QD-NHNN dated 3 February 2005 and Decision 783/2005/QD-NHNN dated 31 May 2005.
Loans, advances and finance leases to customers are classified in accordance with Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005.
Accordingly, loans, advances and finance leases are now classified into five groups as follows:
Group 1: Current
Undue debts which, according to the Bank’s evaluation, could be fully recovered, both principal and interest, when they fall due;•
Restructured debts which could be fully recovered, both principal and interest, within the rescheduled term of at •least one year for medium and long-term debts and three months for short-term debts and are evaluated by the Bank as having the capability to pay in full the principal and interest in due time within the rescheduled term.
Group 2: Special mentioned
Debts which are overdue for less than 90 days;•
Restructured debts other than those in Group 1 which are performing within the rescheduled term.•
Group 3: Sub-standard
Debts which are overdue from 90 days to 180 days;•
Restructured debts which are overdue for less than 90 days within the rescheduled term.•
Group 4: Doubtful
Debts which are overdue from 181 days to 360 days;•
Restructured debts which are overdue from 90 days to 180 days within the rescheduled term.•
36 Annual Report 2006
Annual Report 2006
Group 5: Loss
Debts which are overdue for more than 360 days;•
Restructured debts which are overdue for more than 180 days within the rescheduled term.•
Frozen debts which are awaiting resolution from the Government.•
Where a customer owes more than one debt to the Bank, and has any of his debts transferred to the group of debts with higher risk, the Bank is obliged to classify the remaining debts of such customer into groups of debts with higher risk corresponding with their level of risk.
Where debts (including undue debts and debts whose repayment period in the term is rearranged to fall within the rescheduled term of debts) in respect of which the Bank has full bases to evaluate that the capability of repayment by the customer is weakened, the Bank shall actively decide on classification of those debts into groups of debts with higher risk corresponding with their level of risk.
Provision for losses on loans, advances and finance leases
In accordance with Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005 issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, recognition is given to specific and general provisions arising from credit activities. As set out in the Decision, the determination of specific provision for credit risk is calculated using set rates applied to each loan group as follows:
pRoVISIoNAl RAte
Group 1 - Current 0%
Group 2 - Special mentioned 5%
Group 3 - Sub-standard 20%
Group 4 - Doubtful 50%
Group 5 - Loss 100%
The specific provision is calculated based on net credit exposure of each borrower which is equal to loan balance less value of collateral assets. The value of these assets is market value discounted at a predetermined percentage for each kind of collateral assets as regulated in the Decision.
In accordance with the Decision, a general provision is also required and should be equal to at least 0.75% of the total balance of loans, advances and finance leases to customers excluding the total balance of loans, advances and finance leases to customers which are classified as loss. This level of the general provision is required to be achieved within 5 years from the effective date of the Decision.
2.9 pRoVISIoN foR loSSeS oN CommItmeNtS ANd CoNtINGeNCIeS
In accordance with Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005 issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, a general provision is required and should be equal to at least 0.75% of total balance of guarantees, loan commitments and settlement acceptances. This level of the general provision is required to be achieved within 5 years from the effective date of the Decision.
2.10 tANGIBle fIxed ASSetS
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
2006 2005
Buildings 2.22% 2.22%
Office equipments 12.50% - 20.00% 12.50% - 20.00%
Motor vehicles 10.00% 10.00%
Other assets 10.00% 100%
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized as income or expense in the income statement.
37
2.11 INtANGIBle fIxed ASSetS
Accounting software
Accounting software is amortized over a five year period starting from the date it is brought into use.
2.12 leASed ASSetS
Leases of property, plant and equipment on which the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of leased property or 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 charge, are included in borrowings from local credit institutions. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the leaser are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
2.13 Gold
Gold is revalued at each month end and the differences arising from monthly revaluation are recorded in the revaluation reserve in the balance sheet. The differences are transferred to the income statement at the balance sheet date.
2.14 CASh ANd CASh eQuIVAleNtS
For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and precious metals, balance with the State Bank of Vietnam, current accounts and term deposits at banks with less than 90 days maturity from the balance sheet date.
2.15 deRIVAtIVe fINANCIAl INStRumeNtS
Derivatives are recorded in a balance sheet account at the contract value on the date which a derivative contract is entered into and revalued subsequently at their fair values. Gains or losses from realization of derivatives are recognized in the income statement. Unrealized gains or losses are recognized in the balance sheet as the revaluation reserve and transferred to the income statement at the balance sheet date.
2.16 tAxAtIoN
Business income tax expense is recognized in the income statement based on current income tax and deferred income tax.
Current income tax is the amount of business income tax payable or recoverable in respect of the current year taxable profit and the current tax rates.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of occurrence affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the financial year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
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.

Annual Report 2006
2.17 RelAted pARtIeS
Enterprises and individuals that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Group, including holding companies, subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries are related parties of the Group. Associates and individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Group that gives them significant influence over the Group, key management personnel, including directors and officers of the Group and close members of the family of these individuals and companies associated with these individuals also constitute related parties.
In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form.
2.18 pRoVISIoN foR SeVeRANCe AllowANCeS
Provision for severance allowance is made in accordance with Circular 07/2004/TT-BTC dated 9 February 2004 and Circular 82/2003/TT-BTC dated 14 August 2003 issued by the Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, a provision for severance allowances equal to 2% of total basic salary of the year was made up to the balance sheet date.
2.19 pRoVISIoNS
Provisions are recognized when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligations. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
2.20 dIVIdeNd dIStRIButIoN
Dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Group’s shareholders.

AS At 31 deCemBeR 21,888 19,750
The specific provision for losses on loans and advances to customers has been calculated based on the net credit exposure of each customer which is equal to the loans and advances balance less the value of collateral, using the set rate applied to each loan group in accordance with Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN issued by the State Bank of Vietnam.
(*) As a result of adoption of Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN, the specific provision made for the year 2005 was significantly lower than
that of the year 2004. During the year 2005, therefore, the Bank made a transfer of VND23,328 million from the specific provision to
the general provision in order to ensure that the general provision was in compliance with Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN.
(**) Loans are written off at the discretion of the Bank’s Risk Management Committee when they consider that all reasonable efforts
for recovery of doubtful loans, including legal actions, have been exhausted. Loans are written off in accordance with the instructions
of the Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN.
