The Bank divides both on-and off-balance-sheet assets into 5 classes: Pass, Special-mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss, in which last three classes are deemed to be NPLs (Non-performing Loans). The core definitions of the credit assets set out in the Bank’s detailed rules for 5-tier classification of credit assets are as follows: Pass: Borrowers are able to honor the terms of the contracts and the Bank does not have sufficient reasons to doubt their ability to repay the principals and interests of loan in full and in a timely manner. Special-mention: Although borrowers are able to service their loan’s principals and interests currently, repayments may be affected by existing unfavorable factors. Substandard: Borrowers’ ability to service their loans are questionable. Borrowers are not able to pay back the principals and interests only by their normal revenues. Certain losses may be incurred even when guarantees are invoked. Doubtful: Borrowers are unable to fully pay back the principals and interests and significant losses will be incurred even when guarantees are invoked. Loss: The principals and interests of loans will not be recovered or only a small portion will be

5 recovered after the Bank takes all possible measures or necessary legal procedures. ii.
