2.5 Investments

Investments in debt securities

Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold inresponse to liquidity needs or change in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale.

Marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale investment and arestated in the balance sheet at fair value. Unrealised gain and losses arising fromchanges in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recognisedin Head office and other branches of the same juristic person’s equity. Theexceptions are impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses, which arerecognised in the statement of income. The Bank recognised interest income in thestatement of income using effective interest rate.

For Government securities and state enterprise securities which guaranteed by theGovernment classified as available-for-sale, their fair value are calculated based onthe Thai Bond Market Association Yield Curve as at balance sheet date except fordebt securities of the Bank of Thailand that their fair value are calculated based onthe Bank of Thailand Yield Curve as at balance sheet date.

A test for impairment is carried out when there is a factor indicating that aninvestment might be impaired. If the carrying value of the investment is higher thanits recoverable amount, impairment loss is charged to the statement of income.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds andthe carrying amount together with the associated cumulative gain or loss that wasreported in Head office and other branches of the same juristic person’s equity ischarged or credited to the statement of income.

When disposing of part of the Bank’s holdings of a particular investment, the carryingamount of the disposed part is determined using the weighted average method.

2.6 Loans and accrued interest

Loans and overdrafts are presented using the principal amount outstanding at end ofyear and accrued interest.

2.7 Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Bank provides allowance for doubtful accounts based on the criteria determined bythe Bank of Thailand. In addition, for non-performing loans the Bank provides specificallowance for doubtful accounts based on related factors such as financial ability torepay, historical collection experience, collateral value and expected loss rate.

With reference to the Bank of Thailand’s notification, dated 3 August 2008 relatingto the amended criteria for allowances for doubtful accounts, the Bank has classifiedits loan portfolios into six categories, primarily based on the days past due. For loans,classified as pass and special-mention, the calculation of allowances for doubtfulaccounts is based on the regulatory minimum percentage requirement, taking intoconsideration the collateral value, where the collateral type and date of the latestappraisal are qualifying factors. For loans classified as substandard, doubtful anddoubtful of loss, the allowances on these accounts will be set at 100 percent for thedifference between the outstanding book value of the debt and the present value offuture cash flows expected to be received or the expected proceeds from the disposalof collateral in accordance with the Bank of Thailand’s criteria.

Allowance for doubtful accounts established during the year is charged as an expensein each accounting year.

Bad debts written off are recorded as charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

2.8 Troubled debt restructuring

Foreclosed assets, transferred from troubled debt restructuring, are recorded at thefair value of the assets not exceeding the legal claim for the debt including interestreceivable. The difference between the assets transferred and the outstanding balanceof loans is recognised as loss in the statement of income.

Where restructuring a loan involves modification of its terms, the present value of theexpected future cash collections is calculated by using discount rates equivalent tothe market rates of interest at the time of restructuring. The difference between thepresent value of the future cash flows expected to be received and the outstandingbalances of investment in loans is recorded in the revaluation allowance for debtrestructuring. This revaluation allowance for debt restructuring is amortised to thestatement of income according to the amounts received over the remaining period ofthe debt-restructuring contracts.

Restructured loans are classified as normal when the restructured loans agreementhave been completed and when there is appropriate evidence that the restructuredcondition can be met.

Loss on restructuring is recognised in the statement of income when incurred.

2.9 Intangible assets - Computer software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the cost incurredto acquire and bring to use the specific software. Their cost are amortised over theirestimated useful lives (three to ten years).

2.10 Leasehold

Leasehold is capitalised and amortised using the straight line method over their usefullives, generally over 20 years.

2.11 Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at initial cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset,except for land which is considered to have an indefinite life, to its residual valueover the estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements 20 yearsComputer equipment 3 - 5 yearsFurniture and office equipment 5 yearsVehicles 5 years

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverableamount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financialperiod in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in thecarrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits inexcess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset willflow to the Bank. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life ofthe related asset.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carryingamount and are included in operating profit.

2.12 Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Bank’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date todetermine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indicationexists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of anasset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment lossis recognised in the statement of income unless it reverses a previous revaluationcredited to Head office and other branches of the same juristic person’s equity, inwhich case it is charged to Head office and other branches of the same juristicperson’s equity.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets’ net selling price andvalue in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discountedto their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For anasset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from otherassets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to whichthe asset belongs.

Reversals of impairment

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used todetermine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extentthat the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would havebeen determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had beenrecognised.

2.13 Liabilities - bearing interest

Liabilities which bear interest are recognised initially at the fair value of proceedsreceived, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently stated at amortisedcost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net oftransaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of incomeover the period of the borrowings.

2.14 Leases - where the Bank is a lessee

Leases not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership tothe lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases(net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement ofincome on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, anypayment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as anexpense in the period in which termination takes place.

2.15 Provident fund

The Bank has established a contributory provident fund for its employees.Membership to the funds is on a voluntary basis. Contributions are made monthly bythe employees at rate 3% of their basic salaries and by the Bank at rates ranging from3% to 5% of the employees’ basic salaries. Contributions to the provident fund arecharged to the statement of income in the year to which they relate. The providentfund is registered with the Ministry of Finance as a juristic entity and is managed bya licensed Fund Manager.

2.16 Provisions

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Bank has a present legal orconstructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of theamount can be made. Where the Bank expects a provision to be reimbursed, thereimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when it is virtually certainafter provision has been settled.

2.17 Revenue recognition

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking account of the principaloutstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined thatsuch income will accrue except for interest on loans classified as overdue in excess ofthree months where regardless of whether the loans are covered by collateral, the cashbasis is then adopted and interest accrued in arrears for 3 months is reversed againstinterest income to comply with the Bank of Thailand guideline.

Discount received on purchase of bill of exchange are recognised on a straight-linebasis over the period to maturity.

Other income is recognised on an accrual basis.

2.18 Expense recognition

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings is recognised on an accrual basis.

Other expense is recognised on an accrual basis.

2.19 Derivatives

Derivatives for trading purpose are recognised at fair values and net amount reportedin the balance sheet as assets or liabilities by the same counterparty and contractshave the same maturity date. Changes in fair values are posted to the statement ofincome. Derivatives financial instruments for hedging purpose are recorded at thecontract price. Premiums and discounts on contracts designated as a hedge arerecognised on an accrual basis and posted to the statement of income over the life ofthe hedged transactions.

3 Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historicalexperience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances.

Impairment of loans

The Bank maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect impairment of loansrelating to estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make requiredpayments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is significantly impacted by the Bank’sassessments of future cash flows which based on historical collection experience, collateralvalue and known and identified instances default.

Fair value of financial derivative instruments

In determining the fair value of financial derivative instruments, the management has madejudgment in valuing derivative instruments by using widely accepted valuation techniquesand guidelines. The input parameter to the models used is taken from observable markets.

Property, equipment and intangible assets

Management determines and reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values for theBank’s equipment and intangible assets and revises if they are different from previouslyestimated, or where write off or write down technically obsolete or assets that have beenabandoned or sold.

Financial risk management policies

The Bank is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates, currencyexchange rates and from non-performance of contractual obligations by counterparties.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty or a borrower may default on its contractualobligations and agreements. Such default may be caused by the counterparty’s inability topay due to their financial position, or to their intention not to meet the contractualagreements, resulting in a loss to the Bank.

The credit risk management system is characterised by centralised credit management, theseparation of credit review from the origination of loans. The Credit Department areresponsible for making a preliminary examination and preparing credit proposal report, theDue Diligence Investigation Group shall conduct analysis and investigation on such report,the Credit Risk Management Committee conduct credit evaluation by review the submittedreports and then make a collective recommendation to General Management to makes thefinal decisions. For non-performing loans, the Bank has closely and continuously monitored,resolved and restructured to retain maximum benefits to the Bank.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will havean effect on the Bank’s funding costs, investment position, and foreign currency position,resulting in a loss to the Bank.

The portfolio effect of holding different instruments across a variety of business activitiesand asset classes helps to diversify the market risk the Bank is exposed to and reduces thepotential losses from market risk.

The Bank’s ability to measure and monitor potential losses that could arise from adversechanges in market conditions is key to managing market risks. Quantitative and qualitativemeasures are an integral and crucial part in the Bank’s assessment of market risks.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is a risk that occurs from the change in exchange rates which mayaffect the value of the Bank’s financial instruments or may cause volatility in the Bank’searnings or fluctuations in the value of the Bank’s assets and liabilities. The Bank engagesin foreign exchange related transactions, which may create foreign exchange risk.However, the Bank believes that such risk is low, as most foreign currency transactions arecompleted with customers’ underlying transactions. The Bank’s policy is to minimiseforeign exchange risk by closing foreign exchange position on a daily basis.
