Two full fiscal years have passed since the Interim Measures on the Identification and Measurement of Financial Instruments issued by the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) was implemented in 2006, therefore all bond investments are reincorporated into held-to-maturity investment category and the original profit or loss accrued into owner’s equity is amortized based on the actual interest rate within the residual maturity of bond investments and accrued into current profit and loss.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 24-5-2012 • 13:53 • 80072 • 04 E_Huaxia_Business.indd P.8 Reasons for changes in shareholders’ equity:

1. The increase in capital reserve refers to the amount (after tax) affected by the changes in fair value of non-public offered shares and equities and available-for-sale financial assets, and the decrease during the period refers to the profit and loss amount (after tax) transferred from the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets during the period.

2. The increase in general reserve is due to the provision of general reserve from the net profit in the reporting period.

3. The increase in surplus reserve is due to the provision of statutory surplus reserves from the net profit in the reporting period.

4. The increase in retained profit is due to the increase of net profit during the reporting period and the decrease is due to the distribution of dividends for 2010, provision of statutory surplus reserves for 2011 and general reserve.

5. The increase in minority shareholders’ equity is due to two non-wholly-funded subsidiaries newly added.

Changes in future business environment (1) The domestic and overseas economic and financial environment will continue to be complex and changeable. In terms of the international environment, the sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone will continue to cast influences, and major economies such as the US will suffer a slow recovery. Within China, the economic and social development will continue the positive tone and upward trend in the long run. But due to multiple factors, the real economic growth is slowing down. In face of the complex and changeable international political and economic climate and new changes to the domestic economy, the Chinese central government demanded sticking to steady development as the basic tone, continuing to implement proactive fiscal polices and prudent monetary policies, and balancing the relationship among rapid but steady economic development, economic restructuring and inflation control. At the same time, the state requested the banking sector to expand its service coverage, enhance financial supports to those disadvantaged fields, build up an overall prudent risk monitoring system for the sector and strengthen protection of customer rights. All these are believed to have profound influences over the future development of commercial banks. Thus, commercial banks should focus on serving customers and real economy, abandon outdated service concepts, improve service functions, enlarge service targets and accelerate financial innovation to provide more quality financial services in favor of economic and social development. (2) Timely and appropriate ex ante and fine adjustments will be made on the monetary policies in a prudent manner. The Central Economic Working Conference held in December 2011 set the key tone of monetary polices as “prudent”, and stressed to carry out “timely and appropriate ex ante and fine adjustment” and to pay more attention to the flexibility and predictability of monetary policies to maintain moderate growth in the aggregate credit and social financing size, thereby keeping reasonable and appropriate liquidity in the banking sector. Thus, commercial banks are required to make concrete efforts to satisfy market needs, bring more values to customers and reduce risks, enhance innovation and precision management and work hard on improving operational management.

It is a necessity to liberate interest rates in the deepened reform on the banking sector as well as in the consistent and healthy economic development of China. Market-based interest rates will bring higher requirements for commercial banks in terms of business operation, capital pricing capacity and interest rate risk management capacity. In the light of foreign experience, the process of realizing market-based interest rates is accompanied by the appearance of new financial institutions, financial products and financial service models. This creates more room for banks to explore all sorts of wealth management business, which will bring more non-interest income. It is also beneficial for commercial banks to transform their development mode and explore featured operations. (4) New capital accord will be implemented. It imposes higher requirements on commercial banks in terms of capital adequacy ratio, the weight of risk assets, liquidity ratio and provisioning ratio, and guides the banking sector in development direction and in improving its operational mechanism. At the same time, it will further urge commercial banks to change their operation modes, develop concrete implementation plans and operation rules in accordance with changes in regulatory polices and based on their own operational features and development strategies, and carry out preventive risk intervention towards indicative problems in operation to further enhance their risk management capacity. 2.

Capital demanded by development strategy and its use plan and sources In recent years, regulatory authorities have been raising CAR requirements.

Moreover, regulatory requirements are getting stricter, the interest rate liberalization is speeding up, and social financing is increasingly diversified. All these will bring challenges to the Company. First, the increasing instability and uncertainties of the world economic recovery, pressures of downward domestic economic growth and rising prices as well as some remarkable potential risks in the economic and financial sector put additional weight on the Company’s effective control of operational risks and further improvement in profitability. Second, the regulatory authority is implementing new supervisory rules in an orderly manner and intensifying supervision in accordance with Basel III. This brings new pressure to the Company in terms of capital and liquidity. Third, the Company will encounter increased financing costs and difficulties in fund arrangement along with the national economic restructuring, the transformation of development mode, the acceleration of interest rate liberalization and the rapid development of non-bank intermediation of social investments.

Methods used in charge of allowance for impairment losses on loans: The Company assessed the impairment losses on all loans at the balance sheet date based on two methods: individual assessment and collective assessment. As to the single loan with a large amount, the Company applied the individual assessment method to test the impairment. If an objective evidence could indicate the loan had impairment loss, the loss amount shall be measured at the difference between the book value of the loan and the discounted value of estimated future cash flows and allowance for impairment loss on loans would be set aside and recognized in the loss of the period; the solvency of the borrower, reasonable value of the collateral, compensatory ability of the guarantor and other factors shall be fully considered in the impairment testing. The single loan with a small amount and unimpaired loan tested by the individual assessment shall be included in the loan portfolio with similar characteristics. Their impairment losses shall be assessed collectively, and corresponding allowance for the impairment losses shall be recognized in the profit or loss.

Major Changes in Business Environment, Macro Policies, Laws and Regulations and Their Impacts i. Socioeconomic development. The philosophy of “stabilizing economy, adjusting structure, controlling inflation” was determined. 2011 is the first year of the 12th Five-year Plan period. The macro-economic policy became more steady, prudent and flexible, and focused on properly dealing with the relationship between maintenance of stable and rapid economic development, adjustment of economic structure and management of inflation expectation, accelerating the strategic adjustment of economic structure, putting the stabilization of overall price level at a more important position, enhance the coordination, sustainability and internal motive of economic development, and preventing violent economic fluctuations. It will be a long-term and significant issue for commercial banks to maintain sound operation, accelerate strategic transformation and effectively solve the problems of difficult and expensive financing for real economy while pursuing sound development against the background of global economic downturn, slow economic growth at home, increasingly stricter international regulatory requirements and fiercer competition in the financial market. ii. Monetary policy. Following six times of deposit reserve ratio raising and interest rate hike in 2011, the monetary policy was slightly adjusted along with the decline in consumer price index. On 16 November 2011, the PBOC put forward in the Monetary Policy Implementation Report of China for Third Quarter of 2011 to “continue to implement the prudent monetary policy, closely monitor changes in domestic and overseas economic and financial situations, step up efforts in formulating more targeted, flexible and forward-looking policies in due course, adjust them slightly or in advance when necessary based on changes in economic situations, consolidate the sound momentum of stable and rapid economic development, maintain stable overall price level, and strengthen systematic risk prevention.” On 30 November 2011, the PBOC decided to lower the RMB deposit reserve ratio of deposits-taking financial institutions by 0.5 percentage point since 5 December. RMB deposit reserve ratio remained at a record high level at present, which, accompanied by constantly tightening market liquidity, increasingly fierce deposits competition, and higher fund costs and earnings, would test the funds raising and utilization capabilities of commercial banks. iii. Regulatory policies. On 27 April 2011, the CBRC issued the Guiding Opinions on Implementing New Regulatory Standards in the Chinese Banking Industry. In line with the new regulatory standards for bank capital and liquidity set forth in Basel III, and based on overall assessment of the effectiveness of existing prudent regulatory rules, it raised regulatory standards such as capital adequacy ratio, leverage ratio, liquidity and provisions on loan losses, and set reasonable regulatory requirements, which reflected the principle of counter-cyclical prudent supervision and embodied individual risks and systematic risks facing the banking industry. Afterwards, four relevant administrative measures, i.e., the Administrative Measures for Leverage Ratio of Commercial Banks, the Administrative Measures for Loan Losses of Commercial Banks, the Administrative Measures for Capital of Commercial Banks (Exposure Draft), and the Administrative Measures for Liquidity Risk of Commercial Banks (Trial), were distributed in succession. To a certain extent, the increasingly stricter regulatory standards for capital put new and higher demands on corporate governance structure, asset & liability management, dynamic analysis of customer behavior mode and business innovation of commercial banks. iv. Risk policy. In February 2011, the CBRC distributed the Notice on Boosting Reform and Development and Strengthening Risk Prevention, warning six types of risks, namely local financing vehicle risk, real estate credit risk, operational risk, market risk, liquidity risk and agency insurance risk, and exerting strict control over local financing vehicle loans and real estate loans. As per requirements of the CBRC, commercial banks shall strictly control increment in local financing vehicle loans, and only grant moderate loans to government-subsidized housing building with solvency. These measures and policies posed challenges to the risk management ability of commercial banks, particularly the stable operation and management of existing local financing vehicle loans, real estate loans and personal mortgage loans. v. Small enterprise financial services. On 25 May 2011, the CBRC issued the Notice on Supporting Commercial Banks to Further Improve Small Enterprise Financial Services, guiding and supporting commercial banks to further improve financial services for small enterprises. On 25 October 2011, the CBRC stressed in the Supplementary Notice on Supporting Commercial Banks to Further Improve Small and Micro-size Enterprise Financial Services that as for the commercial banks approved to issue special financial debts for small and micro-size enterprise loans, in calculating “adjusted loan-to-deposit ratio of small and micro-size enterprises”, the small and micro-size enterprise loans with the single account credit facility below RMB5 million (inclusive) corresponding to the debts shall be deducted from the numerator. The CBRC’s supporting policies for commercial banks in conducting small enterprise financial services can not only help to optimize the financing environment of small enterprises and boost their sustainable business development, but also improve the traditional credit income structure of commercial banks.

(2012) No. 0704 To the shareholders of Hua Xia Bank Co., Limited We have audited the financial statements of Hua Xia Bank Co., Limited (the “Bank”), which comprise the consolidated and company balance sheet as at 31 December 2011, the consolidated and company income statement, consolidated and company statement of cash flows and consolidated and company statement of changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to these financial statements. I. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Management of the Bank is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements. This responsibility includes (1) preparing the financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises to ensure fair presentation; and (2) designing, implementing and maintaining necessary internal control to ensure financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. II. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with China’s Auditing Standards for the Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 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, we consider internal control relevant to the Bank’s preparation of the 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 Bank’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. III. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements of the Bank comply with the requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in all material respects and present fairly the financial position of the consolidated and the company as at 31 December 2011 and the results of operations and the cash flows of the consolidated and the company for the year then ended.

II. significant Accounting Policies, Accounting Estimates and Prior-period Errors 1. Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Enterprises – Basic Standards issued by the Ministry of Finance in February 2006, 38 specific accounting standards and corresponding guidelines and interpretation as well as other related regulations (collectively referred to as the “Accounting Standards for Enterprises”). Besides, the Company also discloses relevant financial information in accordance with the Rules for the Compilation and Submission of information Disclosure by Companies that Offer Securities to the Public No. 15 – General Provisions on Financial Report (Revision 2010) issued by CSRC. The financial statements are presented based on going concern. 2. Statement on compliance with accounting standards for enterprises The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 truly and fairly represent the consolidated and company financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2011, the consolidated and company operating results and the consolidated and company cash flows for 2011 in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. 3. Accounting period The accounting period of the Group begins on 1 January and ends on 31 December of the Gregorian calendar. 4. Bookkeeping base currency The Group uses RMB as its bookkeeping base currency. 5. Accounting treatment on business combination under the same control and not under the same control (1) Business combination under the same control For the business combination under the same control, the Group applies the accounting treatment of pooling of interest method. Assets and liabilities acquired from the acquiree through combination are measured at the original carrying value of the acquiree in the combination date except for the adjustment conducted due to different accounting policies. For margin between the book value of combination consideration (or total amount of face value of issued shares) and the carrying value of net assets acquired in the combination, adjust the capital reserve or adjust retained earnings in the event of insufficient capital reserve for write-off. Directly related expenses in business combination shall be recorded through profit or loss upon occurrence. (2) Business combination not under the same control For the business combination not under the same control, the Group applies the accounting treatment of purchase method. Combination cost is the assets paid and liabilities occurred or assumed by the Group for acquiring the control right of acquiree at the acquisition date as well as the fair value of equity securities. At the acquisition date, assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities of the acquiree acquired by the Group are recognized at fair value. For the margin of recognizable fair value of net assets of acquiree acquired during the combination greater than the combination cost, the Group recognizes it as goodwill and measures it at the amount of costs deducting accumulated allowance for impairment. For the margin of recognizable fair value of net assets of acquiree acquired during the combination less than the combination cost, it shall be recorded through profit or loss after check. Directly related expenses in business combination shall be recorded through profit or loss upon occurrence. If the business combination is realized through multi-transaction step by step, stock rights of the acquiree held before the acquisition date shall be measured again at fair value of the stock rights at the acquisition date, and the margin between the fair value and its carrying value shall be recorded in the current investment income. For stock rights of acquiree held before the acquisition date involving other comprehensive income, other comprehensive income related shall be turned into current investment income at the acquisition date.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.82 Minority interest of the subsidiaries shall be determined separately from the equity of the Group. Minority interest shall be measured initially at their shares in the fair value of recognizable net assets of the acquiree. After acquisition, carrying amount of the minority interest is equal to the initial amount plus their shares of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income will be amortised to the minority interest, which may lead to negative amount of minority interest. The Group calculates the changes in equity that would not lead to loss of control among subsidiaries as equity transactions. The carrying amount of equity held by the Group and minority interest shall be adjusted to reflect the changes in the relevant equity of subsidiaries. Margin between the adjusted amount of minority interest and the fair value of collected or paid consideration will be directly recorded in the capital reserve. When the Group losses the control upon the subsidiary, the sum of the consideration acquired in the disposal of equity and the fair value of the residual equity minus the margin between the shares of net assets calculated continuously from the acquisition date and shall be enjoyed in the original subsidiary through calculation in accordance with the original holding proportions will be recorded in the investment income in the current period of loss of control. The subsidiary-related amount recorded in the comprehensive income previously shall be carried over to the current investment income upon loss of control. Residual equity is re-measured in accordance with its fair value at the date of loss of control and identified as long-term equity investment or other relevant financial assets. 6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements The consolidated scope of the consolidated financial statements includes the Company and all the subsidiaries. Based on the financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries, the consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared by the Group after the adjustment of subsidiaries’ long-term equity investment through equity method, in accordance with other relevant materials. For preparation of consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company and subsidiaries are required to maintain the consistency and the inter-company material transactions and current balance shall be offset herein. Part of the shareholder’s equity of the subsidiaries not attributable to the parent company will be separately presented under the shareholder’s equity in the consolidated financial statements as the minority interest. During the reporting period, for a subsidiary added due to business combination under the same control, the Group will incorporate income, expenses and profit of the subsidiary from the beginning of the current consolidation period to the end of the reporting period into the consolidated income statement, and incorporate its cash flows into the consolidated statement of cash flows; for a subsidiary added due to business combination not under the same control, the Group will incorporate income, expenses and profit of the subsidiary from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period into the consolidated income statement, and incorporate its cash flows into consolidated statement of cash flows. 7. Recognition of cash equivalents Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments held by the Group which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 8. Foreign currency transactions The foreign currency transactions of the Group are translated to the amount in its bookkeeping base currency pursuant to the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date at the end of the accounting period. The balance of exchange arising from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and that in the initial recognition or prior to the balance sheet date is recorded in the profit or loss at the current period; the foreign currency non-monetary items measured at the historical cost are still translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date; the foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determining fair value, and the balance between the translated amounts in the bookkeeping base currency and the amounts in the original bookkeeping base currency is recorded through profit or loss. 9. Financial instruments Financial instruments refer to the contracts under which financial assets of an enterprise are formed and financial liability or equity instruments of any other entity are formed. (1) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments A financial asset or financial liability is recognized when the Group becomes a party of the financial instrument contract. Where a financial asset meets any of the following conditions, it will be derecognized: A. Where the contractual rights for collecting cash flows of the said financial asset are terminated; or B. Where the said financial asset has been transferred and meets the conditions of derecognizing financial assets for the transfer of financial assets. When all or part of existing obligations of a financial liability is relieved, the all or part of the financial liability will be derecognized.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.83 (2) Classification and measurement of financial assets The Company classifies financial assets into four categories in the initial recognition: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are measured at fair value in the initial recognition. For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs thereof are directly recorded through profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and liabilities, the transaction expenses thereof are included in the initially recognized value. Financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, include held-for-trading financial assets and those financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss designated in the initial recognition; Held-for-trading financial assets include acquired financial assets sold in short term and derivative financial instruments. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value, and all realized and unrealized profit or loss is recorded through profit or loss. Only when one of the following conditions is met, can financial assets or liabilities in the initial measurement be designated as those measured at fair value through profit or loss: A. The designation can eliminate or obviously reduce the discrepancies in the recognition or measurement of relevant gains or losses arising from different measurement basis of financial assets or liabilities. B. The official written documents on risk management or investment strategies have indicated that the said financial asset portfolio, financial liability portfolio, or the portfolio of said financial assets and liabilities will be managed and evaluated on the basis of fair value and be reported to key management personnel. C. The said financial asset or liability includes embedded derivative instruments that should be split separately. Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments refer to non-derivative financial assets that have a fixed maturity, fixed or determinable recoverable amount and the Group has clear intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost based on effective interest method, and the gains or losses arising from derecognition, impairment or amortisation is recorded through profit or loss. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables refer to non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable recoverable amounts that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost based on effective interest method, and the gains or losses arising from derecognition, impairment or amortisation is recorded through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets refer to non-derivative financial assets which are designated for sale in the initial recognition as well as the financial assets other than those as described above. Held-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and their discounts or premiums are amortised based on effective interest method and recognized as interest income. Except impairment losses and exchange difference of foreign currency monetary financial assets are recognized in current profit or loss, the change of fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is separately recognized as capital reserve. When such financial assets are derecognized or impaired, the accumulated gains or losses recognized in the capital reserve before that are charged to current profit or loss. The dividends or interest income relating to available-for-sale financial assets are recorded through profit or loss. Investments in equity instruments without quotation in an active market which fair value cannot be measured on a reliable basis are measured at cost. (3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities In the initial recognition, financial liabilities held by the Group are classified into financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities not classified as the first category, related transaction costs are recorded in the initially recognized value.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.84 Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, include held-for-trading financial liabilities and those designated in the initial recognition as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value, and all realized and unrealized profit or loss is recorded through profit or loss. Other financial liabilities Subsequent measurement is made at amortised cost based on effective interest method. (4) Derivative financial instruments The derivative financial instruments used by the Group include adoption of futures contracts to reduce risks arising from operating activities. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair value on the date of execution of derivative transaction contract, and subsequently measured at fair value. A derivative financial instrument with positive fair value is recognized as an asset, and that with negative fair value is recognized as a liability. All gains or losses arising from change of fair value which are inconformity with hedge accounting requirements are directly charged through profit or loss. (5) Fair value of financial instruments As for the financial assets or liabilities exist in the active market, the Group determines their fair value with the current quote or the current offer in the active market. As for the financial instruments do not exist in the active market, the Group adopts valuation techniques to determine their fair value. The result obtained through valuation techniques reflects the transaction price possibly applied in the fair trade at the valuation date. Valuation techniques include reference to the prices recently used in market transactions between knowledgeable and voluntary parties, reference to current fair value of substantially same financial instruments, discounted cash flow method and option pricing model. The Group selects the valuation techniques generally recognized by market participants and verified as reliable by the previous actual transaction price to determine the fair value of financial instruments. While determining the fair value of financial instruments through valuation techniques, the Group applies all the market parameters considered by the market participants in determining the prices of financial instruments and observable transaction prices of the same financial instruments in the current market to the fullest extent to test the effectiveness of the valuation techniques. (6) Impairment losses on financial assets The Group carries out an inspection on the book value of financial assets on the balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence proving that the financial assets are impaired, allowance for impairment will be set aside. Objective evidence proving that financial assets are impaired refers to the actually occurred events which, after the financial assets are initially recognized, have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the said financial assets that can be reliably measured by the Company. Financial assets measured at amortised cost If there is an objective evidence proving an financial asset is impaired, its book value will be written down to the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that haven’t incurred), and the reduced amount will be recorded through profit or loss. The present value of estimated future cash flows is determined at a discount rate according to the original actual interest rate of the financial asset, and the value of relevant collaterals is taken into account. Impairment test will be made to the financial assets with significant single amount. If any objective evidence shows that it has been impaired, the impairment loss will be recognized and recorded through profit or loss. With regard to the financial assets with insignificant single amount, impairment test will also be made to financial asset portfolio with similar credit risk features. Where, upon independent test, financial assets (including financial assets with significant or insignificant single amount) have not been impaired, impairment test will also be made to financial asset portfolio with similar credit risk features. For financial assets which have been recognized with impairment loss in single amount, impairment test will not be made to financial asset portfolio with similar credit risk features. After a financial asset measured at amortised cost is recognized with impairment loss by the Group, if there is any objective evidence proving that its value has been recovered, and it is objectively related to the event occurring after such loss is recognized, the impairment loss as originally recognized will be reversed and recorded through profit or loss. However, the reversed book value will not exceed the amortised cost of the financial asset on the date of reverse under the assumption that no allowance for impairment is set aside.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.85 Available-for-sale financial assets If there is evidence proving that such financial assets are impaired, the accumulated losses arising from the decline of fair value that have been directly included in capital reserve will be transferred out and recorded through profit or loss. The transferred out accumulated losses are the balance after the initial acquisition cost of available-for-sale financial assets subtracts recovered principal, amortised amount, current fair value, and impairment loss originally recorded in profit or loss. As for available-for-sale debt instruments which have been recognized with impairment losses, if, within the accounting period thereafter, the fair value rises and is objectively in connection with the subsequent events occurring after the original impairment losses are recognized, the originally recognized impairment losses will be reversed and recorded through profit or loss. The impairment losses on investments in available-for-sale equity instruments will not be reversed from profit or loss. Financial assets measured at cost If there is objective evidence proving that the financial assets have been impaired, the difference between the book value of financial assets and present value determined by discounting future cash flows pursuant to current market rate of return for similar financial assets will be recognized as impairment loss and recorded through profit or loss. The recognized impairment losses will not be reversed. (7) Transfer of financial assets Transfer of financial assets refer to that a financial asset is transferred or delivered to a party other than the issuer of financial asset (the transferee). Where the Group has transferred nearly all of the risks and returns in connection with the ownership of financial assets to transferee, it will derecognize the financial assets. If the Group retains nearly all of the risks and returns in connection with the ownership of financial assets, it will not derecognize the financial assets. Where the Group neither transfer nor retain nearly all of the risks and returns in connection with the ownership of financial assets, the financial assets will be dealt with according to the following circumstances: if the Group gives up its control over the financial assets, it will derecognize the financial assets and recognize the assets and liabilities generated thereof; If the Group retains its control over the financial assets, it will, to the extent of its continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets, recognize related financial assets and liabilities accordingly.

Asset transfer with repurchase conditions (1) Reverse repurchase agreements Financial assets which will be resold in a future certain date pursuant to the commitments in the agreement are not recognized in the balance sheet. Cost (interest) paid for the purchase of such assets is presented as reverse repurchase of financial assets in the balance sheet. The difference between purchase price and resale price is recognized as interest income based on effective interest method within the term of agreement. (2) Repurchase agreements Financial assets, which have been sold and will be repurchased in a future certain date pursuant to the commitments in the agreement, are not derecognized in the balance sheet. Proceeds (interest) from the sale of such assets are presented as financial assets sold for repurchase in the balance sheet. The difference between sale price and repurchase price is recognized as interest expense based on effective interest method within the term of agreement.

11. Long-term equity investments (1) Recognition of investment cost The long-term equity investments of the Group are measured at the investment cost in acquisition. Investment cost is usually the fair value of assets paid for acquisition of the investment, liabilities incurred or assumed and issued equity securities, and directly related expenses are also included. However, the investment cost of long-term equity investments generated in the business combination under the same control is the book value share of owner’s equity of acquiree in the combination date.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.86 (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition method for profit or loss For long-term equity investments under control of investee as well as long-term equity investments without joint control or material effect upon investee and without quotation in active market or fair value cannot be reliably measured, the Group applies the cost method to calculate; and for long-term equity investments with joint control or material effect upon investee, the Group applies the equity method to calculate. For long-term equity investments calculated with cost method, distributed cash dividend or profit announced by the investee other than the actually paid amount in acquisition or announced but undistributed cash dividend or profit contained in the consideration is recognized as investment income and recorded through profit or loss. When the Group calculates the long-term equity investments with equity method, for long-term equity investments with investment cost larger than the shares of the fair value of recognizable net assets of the investee attributable during investment, the investment cost of long-term equity investments is not adjusted; and for long-term equity investments with investment cost smaller than the shares of the fair value of recognizable net assets of the investee attributable during investment, the book value of long-term equity investment will be adjusted and its margin will be recorded in the current profit or loss of the investment. When calculating the long-term equity investments with equity method, the Group firstly adjusts the fair value, accounting policies and accounting period of all recognizable assets of investee during the acquisition of investee’s net profit, and then recognizes the current profit or loss of investment in accordance with the attributable or chargeable net profit or loss of the investee. Part of the unrealised profit or loss of internal transactions of the Group with associates and joint ventures attributable to the Group is calculated as the holding proportion, and the investment profit or loss is recognized based on the offset. (3) Basis for recognition of joint control or material effects upon investee Joint control means that any joint party cannot individually control the production and operating activities of the joint venture and decision-making involving basic operating activities of the joint venture require consensus from all parties. Of which, control refers to the right to decide the financial affairs and operating policy of an enterprise and benefit from its operating activities. Material effects refer to the power of decision participation in the financial affairs and operating policy of an enterprise but not control or joint control with other parties of preparation of these policies. When the Group has 20% or above but lower than 50% of voting rights of the investee directly or through subsidiaries, unless there is evidence proving not participating in the decision-making on production and operation of the investee and no material effects under such condition, or material effects upon the investee are recognized; and when the Group has less than 20% of voting rights of the investee, no material effects are recognized upon the investee, unless there is evidence proving participating in the decision-making on production and operation of the investee and having material effects. (4) Impairment test methods and methods of provisioning allowance for impairment For the method of provisioning allowance for impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures the Group applies, please see Notes II. 18. In long-term equity investments held without joint control or material effects upon investee, without quotation in an active market and without fair value reliably measured, for the method of provisioning allowance for impairment the Group applies, please see Notes II. 9 (6). 12. Investment-oriented real estate Investment real estate refers to the real estate held for generating rent and/or capital appreciation. The investment-based real estate of the Group includes leased land use rights, land use rights held for transfer after appreciation and leased buildings. The investment real estate of the Group is initially measured at cost on the acquisition date and subsequently measured based on cost mode. In the meantime, depreciation is set aside on schedule according to relevant regulations on fixed assets. See Notes II. 18 for the provisioning methods of assets impairment. 13. Fixed assets and their accumulated depreciation (1) Recognition of fixed assets The fixed assets of the Group refer to tangible assets held for the production of commodities, rendering of labour service, lease or operating management of which useful life exceeds one accounting year. Only when economic interests in connection with the fixed assets are likely to flow into the Company and the costs of fixed assets can be measured on a reliable basis, can the fixed assets be recognized.

The fixed assets of the Group are initially measured at the actual costs on the acquisition date.

Annual Report 2011 87

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.87 (2) Deprecation methods for various fixed assets The Group sets aside depreciation based on straight-line method. Depreciation starts when a fixed asset reaches its scheduled usable condition, and depreciation ends when a fixed asset is derecognized or classified as held-for-sale non-current assets. Disregarding allowance for impairment, the annual depreciation rates of the Group are determined as follows according to the category of fixed assets, estimated useful life and estimated residual value:

Annual Residual depreciation Category Useful life (year) value rate (%) rate (%)

Buildings and structures 5-40 5 19-2.38 Office supplies 5-12 5 19-7.92 Transportation equipment 5-10 5 19-9.50

If allowance for impairment losses on fixed assets has been set aside, depreciation rates should be calculated and determined by deducting the accumulated allowance for impairment losses on such fixed assets. (3) See Notes II. 18 for impairment test methods and methods of provisioning allowance for impairment losses on fixed assets. (4) Recognition basis and valuation methods for fixed assets under finance lease For fixed assets under finance lease, if the Company can reasonably determine that the ownership of leased assets will be obtained after lease term expires, depreciation will be set aside in the remaining useful life of leased assets, if not, deprecation will be set aside in either the lease term or remaining useful life of leased assets, which is shorter. (5) At the end of every accounting year, the Group reviews the useful life, estimated residual value and depreciation methods for fixed assets. If difference occurs between estimated useful life and previous estimates, the useful life of such fixed assets will be adjusted; and the same will apply to the difference between estimated net residual value and previous estimates.

14. Construction in Progress The costs of construction in process of the Group are recognized pursuant to actual project expenditures, including various necessary project expenditures during the construction, borrowings that should be capitalized before the project reaches scheduled usable condition and other pertinent expenses. Construction in progress is converted into fixed assets when it reaches scheduled usable condition. See Notes II. 18 for the methods of impairment provisioning of construction in progress.

15. Intangible assets The Group initially measures the intangible assets at cost, analyzes and determines their useful life upon acquisition. Intangible assets with limited useful life are amortised through its estimated useful life by means of anticipated realization method that can reflect the economic benefits relating to the assets from their availability. Intangible assets of which realization method cannot be reliably determined shall be amortised on straight-line method. Moreover, intangible assets with uncertain useful life will not be amortised. The Group will check the useful life and amortisation method of intangible assets with limited useful life at the end of the year. For estimation different from the previous, the Group will adjust the original estimation and handle it as the changes in the accounting estimation. If the Group estimates a asset cannot bring economic benefit for the company, the Group will transfer the book value of the intangible asset into the current profit or loss.

See Notes II. 18 for the methods of impairment provisioning of intangible assets.

Repossessed assets to be disposed Debt assets are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date by the Group. Unpaid taxes on debt assets for acquiring them, advanced litigation costs and related taxes paid for acquiring debt assets are included in the value of debt assets. When the Group disposes of debt assets, the difference between disposal income and book value of debt assets is recoded in non-operating income provided the former is more than the latter; otherwise, the difference is charged to non-operating expenses. Expenses incurred during the custody are directly included in other business expenses, and those incurred during the process of disposal are offset from disposal income. The Group checks debt assets one by one at the end of accounting period, and valuates them at the lower of book value or recoverable amount. The allowance for impairment losses on debt assets is set aside when recoverable amount is lower than book value.

17. Amortisation of long-term unamortised expenses The long-term unamortised expenses of the Group are measured at actual costs and amortised on an even basis pursuant to estimated benefit period. Amortised values of long-term unamortised expenses that cannot benefit the following accounting periods are included in current profit or loss.

18. Impairment losses on assets The Group recognizes the impairment losses on assets excluding pending debt assets, deferred income tax assets and financial assets according to the following methods: The Group judges whether assets are impaired on the balance sheet date. If impaired, the Group will estimate recoverable amounts and conduct impairment test. Recoverable amounts are determined according to the higher of net value after deducting disposal expenses from fair value of assets or present value of estimated future cash flows of assets. The Group estimates the recoverable amount based on a single asset; if it is hard to estimate recoverable amount of a single asset, that of asset group where the single asset belongs to will be measured. The recognition of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are independent of cash inflows of other assets or asset groups. When the recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is less than its book value, the Group writes down the book value to the recoverable amount. The written-down amount s recorded through profit or loss, and provision for impairment losses on assets is set aside accordingly. The impairment loss of an asset will not be reversed in the subsequent accounting periods once it is recognized.

19. Projected liabilities If an obligation in connection with contingencies meets the following conditions, the Group will recognize it as an estimated liability: A. The obligation is a current obligation of the Group; B. The performance of the obligation is likely to result in economic interest outflows of the Group; and C. The amount of the obligation can be measured on a reliable basis. Where all or part expenses paid for the liquidation of recognized estimated liabilities are expected to be compensated by the third party of other parties, the compensation can only be recognized as an separate asset when it is determined as recoverable. The recognized compensation should not exceed the book value of recognized liabilities.

20. Bonds payable (1) Valuation of bonds payable When bonds are issued by the Group, they are measured at actual total issue price. (2) Amortisation of bond premium or discount The difference between total issue price and total par value of bonds is recognized as bond premium or discount and amortised based on effective interest method when interest is accrued during the period of existence of bonds.

Annual Report 2011 89

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 30-5-2012 • 11:54 • 80072 • 21a E_Huaxia_Statement_Notes.indd P.89 21. Recognition of income The Group recognizes income when the inflows and receipts of relevant economic benefits can be measured on a reliable basis. (1) Interest income Interest income is recognized accordingly based on effective interest method. Effective interest method is the method of calculating amortised cost and interest income/expenses for various periods on the basis of the effective interest rate of the financial assets or financial liabilities. Effective interest refers to the interest rate used when discounting the future cash flows of the financial assets or financial liabilities within the estimated renewal period or applicable shorter period into the current book value of the financial assets or financial liabilities. While recognizing the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the future cash flows based on all the contract clauses of the financial assets or financial liabilities without consideration of future credit losses. All fees, transaction fee and premium or discount paid or collected by the Group and being components of the effective interest rate will be considered in recognition of the effective interest rate. After the impairment losses on financial assets, interest income shall be recognized with discount rate applied in discounting the future cash flows on the basis of recognition of the impairment losses as the interest rate. (2) Fee and commission income Fee and commission income is recognized on an accrual basis when related service is rendered.

22. Recognition of expenses Interest expense and other expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

23. Income tax Income tax includes current income tax and deferred income tax. Deferred income tax in connection with transactions or events which are directly included in the owners’ equity should be recoded in the owners’ equity, otherwise, they should be recognized as income tax expenses and recorded through profit or loss. Current income tax is the current income tax payable calculated pursuant to current taxable income. Taxable income is calculated after corresponding adjustments are made to profit before tax of the year according to relevant tax regulations. The Group measures income tax liabilities or assets of current and previous periods pursuant to estimated income tax payable or refundable that is calculated according to relevant tax regulations. The Group calculates deferred income tax based on balance sheet liability method pursuant to temporary difference between the book value of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date and the tax base. Temporary differences of various tax payables are recognized as related deferred income tax liabilities. For deductible temporary difference, deductible losses that could be carried forward to the following years and tax credits, the Group recognizes the deferred income tax assets resulted from and within the limit of future taxable income that is very likely to be obtained by the Group to offset deductible temporary difference, deductible losses and tax credits. On the balance sheet date, the Group measures deferred tax assets and liabilities pursuant to applicable tax rates in the period during which the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities be liquidated, and in the meantime, the impact of ways of recovering assets or liquidating liabilities on the balance sheet date on income tax is reflected. On the balance sheet date, the Group checks the book value of deferred income tax assets. If the Group is unlikely to obtain enough taxable income to offset the interests of deferred income tax assets in a future period, the book value of deferred income tax assets will be written down. When it is likely to obtain enough taxable income, the written-down amount will be reversed.

Lease The Group recognizes the lease that substantially transfers all risks and returns in connection with ownership of assets. Lease other than finance lease is recognized as operating lease. On the commencement date of lease term, the Group recognizes the lower one from fair value of leased assets and present value of minimum lease payment on the commencement date of lease term as recording value of leased assets, the minimum lease payment as recording value of long-term account payable, and the balance between recording value of leased assets and that of long-term account payable as unrecognized financing cost. Rents for operating lease are recorded in related asset costs or current profit or loss in different lease terms based on straight-line method.

25. Held-for-sale assets (1) Held-for-sale fixed assets Fixed assets that meet the following conditions are classified as held-for-sale assets: (1) the Group has made a resolution on disposing of such fixed assets; (2) the Group has signed an irrevocable transfer agreement with transferee; and, (3) the transfer could be completed in one year. Held-for-sale fixed assets include single asset and disposal group. In certain circumstances, disposal group includes goodwill obtained in the business merger. Held-for-sale fixed assets, for which depreciation will not be set aside, are measured at the lower net amount of deducting disposal expenses from book value or fair value. If an asset or disposal group which has been classified as held-for-sale assets cannot meet the recognition conditions for held-for-sale fixed assets on a future date, the Company will remove it from the category of held- for-sale fixed assets and measure it at the lower amount as follows: A. the balance of adjusting the book value of the asset or deposal group before it is classified as held- for-sale fixed assets pursuant to the depreciation, amortisation or impairment that should be recognized on the assumption that the asset or deposal group is not classified as held-for-sale fixed assets; or B. the recovered amount on the date that the Group decides not to sell the asset or disposal group. (2) Other non-current assets including intangible assets that meet the held-for-sale conditions are treated according to the above-mentioned principles.

26. Employees’ compensation Employees’ salary, bonus, allowance, subsidy, welfare benefit, social insurance and housing provident fund are recognized in the accounting period during which employees render services. If employees’ compensation becomes due more than one year after the balance sheet date, and the discounted amount is significant, its present value will be presented. If the Group’s employees participate in the pension insurance program managed by local governments, the pension insurance is recorded through profit or loss upon occurrence.

27. Entrustment business The entrustment business of the Group includes entrusted loans and investments. Entrusted loans refer to that, the principal provides loan funds, and loans are granted, used under supervision and recovered under assistance on commission basis according to prospective borrower, purpose, term and interest rate determined by the principal. Entrusted investments refer to that, the principal provides loan funds, and the Group makes independent investment decisions and invest on behalf of principal within the specified range during the period of entrustment. All risks, profit or loss and liabilities arising from entrustment business are undertaken by the principal, and the Group only charges service fee. The balance between assets and liabilities formed from entrusted loans and investments are presented on the balance sheet.

28. Preparation of consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared based on the financial statements and other documents of the Head Office, branches and directly affiliated (intercity) sub-branches. In the consolidation, internal significant transactions and balance of the Company have been offset.

Segment report The Group determines the operating segments according to the organizational framework, management requirement and internal reporting system, and on this basis, determines the reporting segments. An operating segment refers to the component within the Group meeting the following conditions at the same time: (1) such component can generate income and incur expenses in the daily activities; (2) the management of the enterprise can regularly assess the operating results of the component to determine the resources allocated to it and assess its performance; (3) the enterprise can obtain the accounting information relating to the component’s financial standing, operating results and cash flows. The Group’s reporting segments include: Northern and Northeastern China, Eastern China, Southern and Central China and Western China. Accounting policies of the operating segments maintain the same with the major accounting policies of the Group.

30. Annuity program of the company The enterprise annuity program established by the Company for employees refers to the supplementary pension system established by the Company based on its participation in the basic pension insurance system according to law as well as in accordance with relevant regulations of the state and business development of the Company, to provide a certain degree of income security for its employees after their retirement. The enterprise annuity program is applicable to registered employees who have signed formal labour contracts with the Company after probation period. The expenses incurred by the Company for annuity program are recorded through profit or loss. Except that, the Company has no other major social security commitments to employees.

31. Significant accounting judgments and estimates The Group evaluates significant accounting estimates and key assumptions adopted on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations on future events. Significant accounting estimates and key assumptions which may cause the risk of significant adjustments to book value of assets and liabilities in the next accounting year are presented below: Classification of financial assets The Group is required to make significant judgments on the classification of financial assets, as different classification approaches may affect accounting method and financial position of the Company. Impairment losses on loans and advances If there is objective evidence proving a loan is impaired, its book value will be written down to the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that haven’t incurred), and the reduced amount will be recorded through profit or loss. The present value of estimated future cash flows is determined at a discount rate according to the original actual interest rate of the loan, and the value of relevant collaterals is taken into account. In the estimation of impairment losses, significant judgments on whether there is objective evidence proving a loan has been impaired should be made, and significant estimates on present value of estimated future cash flows should be conducted. Fair value of financial instruments If a financial instrument does not exist in the active market, the Group will apply valuation techniques to recognize its fair value. Valuation techniques include reference to the prices recently used in market transactions between knowledgeable and voluntary parties, reference to current fair value of other financial instruments which are substantially the same, discounted cash flow method and option pricing model. When market information can not be obtained, the Management will evaluate the credit risk, market fluctuation and relevance of the Group and counterparty. These changes in related assumptions will influence the fair value of the financial instruments. Deferred income tax assets To the limit that it is very likely to have enough taxable income to offset losses, all unused tax losses should be recognized as deferred income tax assets. Therefore, lots of judgments should be used by the Management to estimate the occurrence time and amount of future taxable income, to recognize the amount of deferred income tax assets.

Subprime bonds Subprime bonds in 2006 As approved by China Banking Regulatory Commission and the People’s Bank of China, the Company issued RMB2 billion of subordinated bonds in the National Inter-Bank Bond Market from 8 to 9 November 2006. These subordinated bonds have a fixed interest rate with a term of 10-year; at the end of the fifth year, the issuer has the option of redemption; the book interest rate for the first five years is 3.70% and that for the later five years is 6.70%. The Company exercised the redemption right on 9 November 2011 and redeemed the above-mentioned subordinated bonds. Hua Xia Bank bonds in 2010 As approved by China Banking Regulatory Commission and the People’s Bank of China, the Company issued the Hua Xia Bank Co., Ltd. subordinated bonds in 2010 from 26 February to 2 March 2010 and the final issuance volume was RMB4.4 billion. The bonds are fixed interest rate subprime bonds with a term of 10-year and the redemption option will be attached in the fifth year. The coupon rate of the bonds for the first five interest accrual years is 4.55%, which is unchanged during the period; if the issuer does not exercise the redemption option, the coupon rate for the later five interest accrual years will be increased by 300 BPs based on the initial issuing interest rate from the sixth interest accrual year until to the end of the term. The claim for the above-mentioned subordinated bonds follows after the other liabilities of the Company but is prior to the Company’s mixed bond holder and equity capital.

The interest of the bonds with a fixed interest rate is paid on an annual basis.

The annual interest rate of the bonds with floating interest rate is the sum of the benchmark interest rate and the basic interest margin. This benchmark interest rate is determined based on the interest rate of the one-year time savings deposits for lump-sum withdrawal published by the People’s Bank of China applicable to the first issuing date and the date of value of other interest years. The basic interest margin of the first 10 years is 2%. In case that the issuer fails to exercise the advance redemption option on the date of 10 years’ maturity, commencing from the 11th interest year, the interest of the bonds shall increase by 100BPs or 3% on the basis of the initial issuing interest margin. The value date of the bonds was 27 June 2007. In case that the issuer fails to exercise the redemption option, the interest period of the bonds will be from 27 June 2007 to 26 June 2022. Otherwise, the honoring date of the bonds redeemed shall be the honoring date as determined in the redemption announcement. According to the relevant regulations, the payment order of the mixed capital bonds is after the long-term subordinated bonds but prior to the equity capital. In calculating the capital adequacy ratio, the mixed capital bonds payable may be recorded in the supplementary capital of the Company according to the provisions of the regulatory authority. C.

The credit risk of the Group mainly exists in the on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet businesses including loans, inter-bank lending, bond investments, bill acceptance, L/C, and L/G. Before granting credit to a single customer, the Group will conduct credit appraisal first and regularly inspect the credit limit granted. The means for credit risk management include acquisition of collateral and warranty. As for the off-balance-sheet credit commitment, the Group will charge security deposit to reduce the credit risk in general.

The Group has set aside sufficient allowance for impaired loans. Some overdue but unimpaired loans were mainly due to short-term shortage of funds of customers and without objective impairment evidence, so the Group did not classify it into impaired loans.

Overdue financial assets refer to the financial assets with principal or interest overdue for 1 day or above.

(7) Assessment value of collaterals held corresponding with various financial assets during the reporting period At the end of the period, the fair value amount of collaterals of confirmed impaired or overdue loans and allowances held by the Group was RMB9,576,765,200 (at the beginning of the period: RMB9,920,979,100). These collaterals included house property and so on. (8) Increase in mortgaged assets and decrease in mortgaged assets during the reporting period During the reporting period, the Group increased mortgaged assets (house property) worth of RMB4,789,300, and decreased mortgaged assets of RMB212,840,300.

2. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk the bank confronts with, if the bank could not meet the requirements of deposit withdrawal and normal and reasonable loans of customers or other instant cash requirements. If the unbalance of total assets and liabilities or unbalance of period structure occurs, and the bank could not raise the desired fund by reasonable cost, causing insufficient cash payment to the customers, this will lead to the liquidity risk and even possibly the run-on banks risk if seriously. Adverse factors possibly influencing the liquidity of the Group include: large increase in credit demand, large performance of credit commitments, large increase of deposits and difficulty in recovering matured loans. Besides, adjustment of deposit reserve ratio by PBOC, sharp changes in domestic and foreign interest rates, financing difficulty in monetary market and so on will also have negative impact on the liquidity of the Group. The Company set up the Asset & Liabilities Management Committee, responsible for preparation, organizations and implementation of the administrative policies on liquidity risk, established multi-channel of financing mechanism, and designed a series of daily liquidity monitoring indicator system complying with the reality of the Company, in accordance with the indicator system on liquidity risk monitoring by regulatory departments and the applicability principle. Meanwhile, taking into account both the benefits and liquidity, the Company held some government loans and central bank bills in the assets portfolio, which could not only achieve stable investment income, but also sell off or repurchase in the secondary market at any time to fulfill the liquidity requirements.

3. Market risk

(1) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the possibility for a bank to suffer decreased benefits or losses caused by the unfavorable changes in interest rate. As the major source of income for the domestic commercial banks is from interest margin between deposits and loans, changes in interest rate has direct impact on the bank’s operation. At the present stage, domestic foreign-currency deposit and loan interest rate is basically represented as market interest rate and obviously affected by the market factors. RMB interest rate marketization progress is speeding up. On 29 October 2004, PBOC increased the benchmark interest rates for deposit and loans, in the meantime further relaxed restrictions on the floating interval of RMB loans interest rate (without upper limit) and allowed the downward floating of RMB deposit interest rate. Along with the enhancement of marketization level of interest rate, the possibility of interest rate fluctuation increases.

The Group intensified the cost control in interest-payment liabilities management, established period and interest rate structure matching with the interest payment liabilities in interest-bearing assets management, optimized assets and liabilities portfolio management, and proactively developed intermediary business and non- interest rate sensitive financial products to reduce the impact of interest rate risk on the Group’s operation.

The Group uses sensibility analysis to measure the possible impact of changes in interest rate on net interest income of the Company. The sensibility analysis of net interest income is calculated based on the above interest rate risk exposure of related assets and liabilities. The following table presents the interest rate sensibility analysis result based on the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date.

(Unit: RMB10,000)

Sensibility of net interest income For the For previous Changes in basis points of interest rate current period period

Up 100 basis points 70,325.55 34,040.88 Down 100 basis points -70,325.55 -34,040.88

Sensibility analysis of equity is to predict the impact of changes in interest rate on changes in its corresponding equity, through revaluation on available-for-sale financial assets held at the end of the period. The Group mainly applied present value of basis points to measure the interest rate risk of available-for-sale financial assets, and the present value of basis point on 31 December 2011 was RMB7,215,900.

Since 21 July 2005, China began to implement the managed floating exchange rate based on market supply and demand and adjusted referring to a basket of currencies, forming a more flexible RMB exchange rate mechanism. The impacts of exchange rate risk on the Group’s operation are mainly represented in: A. The Group may hold unliquidated foreign exchange position so as to undertake the exchange rate risk; B. The major source of foreign exchange fund of the Group is USD, and to meet the requirement of customers about small amount of foreign-currencies other than USD exchange purchase payment, the Group may need to purchase some foreign currencies in advance to guarantee the payment so as to expose to the exchange risk; C. When the assets, liabilities and income booked in foreign-currency are converted into the bookkeeping base currency of the Group (RMB), the Group is faced with exchange rate translation risk. As for the business varieties involving exchange risk, the Group strictly manages various links of development, launching and operation, and formulates necessary risk control system in terms of business authorization, exposure limits and process monitoring. As for the foreign exchange trading business, the Company divides into bank account and transaction account and the foreign exchange exposure of the whole bank is managed by the Head Office in an unified manner.

Fair value of financial instruments The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. As for the financial assets or liabilities having active market, the Group determines their fair value with the quote in the active market. As for the financial instruments without active market, the Group determines their fair value with valuation techniques, including price used in recent market transaction by knowledgeable, willing parties, referring to the current fair value of other financial instruments sharing similar nature, discounted cash flow method, option pricing model and other techniques. As for the primarily acquired or connate financial assets or undertaken financial liabilities, the Group takes the market trading price as the basis to determine their fair value. When market information can not be obtained, the Management will evaluate the credit risk, market fluctuation and relevance of the Group and counterparty. These changes in related assumptions will influence the fair value of the financial instruments. Financial instruments measured in fair value are divided into the following three levels with regard to valuation: The first level is that the Group acquires the same assets or liabilities with quote in the active market at the measurement date and the quote shall be the basis for determining the fair value; The second level is that the Group acquires the similar assets or liabilities with quote in the active market at the measurement date or the same or similar assets or liabilities with quote in inactive market, and the quote shall be the basis for adjustment to determine the fair value; The third level is that if the Group could not obtain the market transaction price of the same or similar assets, it will take other parameters used by market participants to determine the price of the assets or liabilities as the basis for determining the fair value. (1) The method and assumptions for fair value evaluation used by the Group regarding the various financial assets and liabilities are as follows: A. Financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss These include held-for-trading financial assets and financial assets at fair value and its changes recognized through profit or loss designated at the initial determination. Held-for-trading financial assets include acquired financial assets sold in short term and derivative financial instruments. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value, and all realized and unrealized profit or loss is recorded through profit or loss, and fair value is equal to its book value. B. Loans and advances to customers Fair value of loans with fixed rates is estimated by comparing the market interest rate when the loans were granted and the prevailing market interest rate of similar loans. Interest rate of majority loans will be repriced in accordance with the changes in benchmark interest rate of PBOC every year, therefore its book value is its fair value. Credit quality changes of loans in the loan portfolio are not considered in determining the overall fair value, as credit risk impact has been represented in the allowance for losses on loans and deducted from the book value and fair value. C. Held-to-maturity investments As for the held-to-maturity investments in the active market, the Group adopts the quote in the active market to determine their fair value. If no active markets exist for them, the Group adopts valuation techniques to determine their fair value. D. Due to customers Fixed or floating interest rate is used for due to customers by their categories. Fair value of demand deposits and savings account with no designated due date is the amount payable at request of customers. As most time deposits are in short-term nature, its fair value is the same with the book value. E. Other financial assets and liabilities As for the other financial assets and liabilities matured within 12 months, assume that their book values are the fair values. The above-mentioned methods and assumptions for fair value evaluation provide consistent calculation standard for the financial assets and liabilities of the Group. However, as other institutions may adopt different methods and assumptions, the fair value disclosed by various financial institutions does not have the absolute comparability.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION Hua Xia Bank Co., Limited (the “Company”) was established as a nationwide commercial bank on 14 October 1992 with the approval of the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). On 10 April 1996, Hua Xia Bank was approved to be restructured as a joint-stock limited company by promoter incorporation according to the PBOC document (Y.F. [1996] No. 109), and then renamed as Hua Xia Bank Co., Limited. On 21 July 2003, the Company obtained approval from China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) for offering of A shares. On 12 September 2003, the Company was listed. On 21 May 2004, the Company converted the capital reserve of RMB700,000,000 into share capital at a ratio of 2 for 10 shares on the basis of 3.5 billion of shares as at 31 December 2003. After the conversion, the registered capital reached RMB4,200,000,000, which has been verified by Beijing Jingdu Certified Public Accountants, with the capital verification report (B.J.J.D.Y.Z. (2004) No. 0017) being issued on 26 May 2004. On 15 October 2008, with approval of CSRC, the Company issued 790,528,316 RMB-denominated ordinary shares (A shares) in a non-public way to three designated investors, namely Shougang Corporation, State Grid Corporation of China and DEUTSCHE BANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT. After the additional offering, the registered capital of the Company amounted to RMB4,990,528,316, which has been verified by Beijing Jingdu Certified Public Accountants, with the capital verification report (B.J.J.D.Y.Z. (2008) No. 085) being issued on 16 October 2008. On 22 April 2011, with approval of CSRC, the Company issued 1,859,197,460 RMB-denominated ordinary shares in a non-public way to three designated investors, namely Shougang Corporation, Yingda International Holdings Corporation, Ltd. (formerly SGCC Asset Management Co., Ltd.) and DEUTSCHE BANK LUXEMBOURG S.A. After the additional offering, the registered capital of the Company amounted to RMB6,849,725,776, which has been verified by Beijing Jingdu Certified Public Accountants, with the capital verification report (J.D.T.H.Y.Z. (2011) No. 0044) being issued on 22 April 2011. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) provide commercial banking services. The business scope specified in the Incorporated Enterprise Business License of the Company covers: deposits-taking; granting of short, medium and long-term loans; domestic and international settlement; bill acceptance and discounting; issuance of financial bonds; commissioned issuance, encashment and underwriting of government bonds; trading of government bonds and financial bonds; inter-bank lending and borrowing; trading of foreign exchange on its own behalf and as an agent; bank card service; letter of credit and guarantee; collection and payment service as an agent; safety box service; settlement and sale of foreign exchange; sideline insurance agency; and other services approved by China Banking Regulatory Commission (“CBRC”). The registered office address of the Company is 22 Jianguomen Inner Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company operates within the territory of the PRC. 2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in RMB. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. The Group enters records and prepares statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant financial regulations and accounting principles formulated by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”) (“PRC GAAP”). As the accounting policies and basis for the preparation of statutory financial statements are different from the IFRS with regard to several items, these financial statements differ from the statutory financial statements. Significant differences in operating results and financial position under IFRS have been reconciled in the preparation of these financial statements, which are not presented in accounts of the Company.

The financial statements of subsidiaries, for the purpose of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to decide on the financial and operating policies of an entity and to obtain benefits from its activities. Where there is a loss of control in a subsidiary, the consolidated income statement includes the results of that subsidiary for the part of the reporting period during which the Company has control. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated income statement, and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position separately from the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company. An acquisition of non-controlling interests is accounted for as an equity transaction. 2.2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (a) Accounting Judgments In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, the Management has used its judgments and made assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on the financial statements. In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, the Management has used its judgments and made assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on the financial statements. The most significant use of judgments and key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period, are described below. Classification of investments Significant management judgment is required to classify investments into the following four categories: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; held-to-maturity investments; loans and receivables; and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification affects accounting approaches to be adopted and financial position of the Company. If the Group fails to make a correct judgment, a reclassification of the overall investments may be needed. (b) Uncertain Estimates The most significant use of judgments and key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the Group within the next financial period, are described below. Impairment losses on loans and advances to customers The Group determines periodically whether there is any objective evidence that impairment losses have occurred on loans and advances to customers. If any such evidence exists, the Group assesses the amount of impairment losses. The amount of impairment losses is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. Assessing the amount of impairment losses requires significant judgment on whether the objective evidence for impairment exists and also significant estimates when determining the present value of the expected future cash flows. Impairment losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments In determining whether there is any objective evidence that impairment losses have occurred on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments, the Group assesses periodically whether there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or carrying amount, or whether other objective evidence of impairment exists based on the investee’s financial conditions and business prospects, including industry environment, change of technology as well as operating and financing cash flows. This requires a significant level of judgment of the Management, which would affect the amount of impairment losses.

Determining income tax provisions requires the Group to estimate the future tax treatment of certain transactions. The Group carefully evaluates tax implications of transactions in accordance with prevailing tax regulations of the PRC and makes tax provisions accordingly.

In addition, deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. This requires significant estimation on the tax treatments of certain transactions and also significant assessment on the probability that adequate future taxable profits will be available for the deferred income tax assets to be recovered.

Fair value of financial instruments

If the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Group establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable and willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. To the extent practicable, valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs. However, where market inputs are not available, the Management needs to make estimates on such unobservable market inputs. 2.3 NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS THAT ARE EFFECTIVE IN 2011 AND RELEVANT TO THE GROUP The IASB has issued the following new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (including International Accounting Standards (“IAS”)) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations that are effective in 2011 and relevant to the Group’s operation.

IAS 24 Amendment Related Party Disclosures IAS 32 Amendment IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Classification of Rights Issues IFRIC 14 Amendments IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments The adoption of the above new and revised IFRS and IFRIC interpretations does not affect the financial position or operating result of the Group.

Apart from the above, in May 2010, the IASB issued its third omnibus of amendments to its standards*, which set out amendments to a number of IFRSs primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. The amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 34 and IFRIC 13 were applied from 1 January 2011 by the Group. None of these amendments had a significant impact on the financial position or operating result of the Group.

* Improvements to IFRS (2010) contain amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 27, IAS 34 and IFRIC 13.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB at the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at period end rates are recognized in the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the date when the fair value was determined, of which translation differences of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the income statement as a part of fair value gain or loss, while translation of available-for-sale equity investments are recorded in changes in fair value of investments under equity. (b) Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets The financial assets held by the Group are classified into four categories: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; held-to-maturity financial assets; loans and receivables; and available-for-sale financial assets. A financial asset is measured initially at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets initially designated at fair value through profit or loss. The financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and derivative financial instruments not designated as effective hedge instruments are classified as held-for-trading financial assets. Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, and changes in fair value are recognized as net gain or loss of trading. A financial asset not held for trading may be designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition, if it meets any of the criteria set out below, and is so designated by the Management. • It eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial asset or financial liability or from recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases; • It applies to a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and where information about that group of financial instruments is provided internally on that basis to key management personnel; or • The financial instrument contains one or more embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative(s) does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded. These financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value after initial recognition. Realised or unrealised income or expenses is recognised in the income statement.

Held-to-maturity financial investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity and which the Management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when these financial assets are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. The Group shall not classify the financial assets as held-to-maturity if it has sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity during the current financial year or during the two preceding financial years (more than insignificant in relation to the total amount of held-to-maturity investments) except for sale or reclassification that:

(i) is so close to maturity or the financial asset’s call date (for example, less than three months before maturity) that changes in the market rate of interest would not have a significant effect on the financial asset’s fair value;

(ii) occurs after the entity has collected substantially all of the financial asset’s original principal through scheduled payments or prepayments; or

(iii) is attributable to an isolated event that is beyond the Group’s control, is non-recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Group.

If fair value could not be measured reliably due to changes in intention or ability or in quite few circumstances, or as “two preceding financial years” pass, measurement by cost or amortised cost rather than fair value is much more proper, the carrying value of the financial instrument measured at fair value should be taken as new cost or new amortised cost. Gains and losses previously recognised in equity should be accounted for as follows:

• Gains and losses of financial assets with fixed maturity dates should be amortised over the remaining period of the asset using effective interest rate method and recognised in equity. The difference between new amortised cost and amount at maturity should be amortised over the remaining period. If financial assets are impaired, gains and losses directly recognised in equity should be recognised in income statement.

• Gains and losses of financial assets without fixed maturity date should be recorded in equity until the assets are sold or disposed. If financial assets are impaired, gains and losses directly recognised in equity should be recognised in income statement.

3) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and the management has no intention of trading the assets immediately or in the near term. Such assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when such assets are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Discounted bills are granted by the Group to its customers based on the bank acceptance held which has not matured. Discounted bills are carried at face value less unrealised interest income, and the interest income of the discounted bills is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.188 4) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets which are designated as such or are not classified in any of the three categories including loans and receivables, held-to-maturity financial assets and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Premiums and discounts on available-for-sale financial assets are amortised using the effective interest rate method and are taken as interest income. Unrealised income brought by changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is separately presented in other comprehensive income before the financial assets are derecognized or impaired. Such changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income should be transferred to the income statement when the financial assets are derecognized or impaired. Available-for-sale financial assets are presented by their cost minus allowance for impairment losses when their fair value could not be reliably measured in circumstances where (a) proper estimates of fair value have a large range of change, or (b) probability of estimates in the range could not be properly measured and could not be used as an estimate of fair value. The Group assesses whether the holding of available-for-sale financial assets and the intention of selling such assets in short time is proper. As the market is not active or the intention of the Management has material changes, such financial assets may be reclassified in few circumstances. When the conditions of loans and receivables are satisfied and the Company has the ability and intention to hold the financial assets till the foreseeable future or their maturity, such assets are permitted to be reclassified as loans and receivables. Only when the Company has the ability and clear intention to hold the assets to maturity, such assets can be reclassified into held-to-maturity investments. Where available-for-sale financial assets are reclassified to other financial assets, gains and losses of previously years recognised in other comprehensive income should be amortised over the remaining period of these assets using effective interest rate method and recognised in income statement. The difference between amortised cost and amount at maturity date should also be amortised over the remaining period and recognised in income statement. Where such assets are impaired subsequently, gains and losses directly recognised in equity should be transferred out of equity. 5) Determination of fair value The fair value of a financial instrument traded in active markets is based on its quoted market price. If the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Group establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable and willing parties, reference to current fair value of other financial instruments which are substantially the same, discounted cash flow method and option pricing model. (c) Impairment of Financial Assets An assessment on carrying amount of financial assets is made at the end of each reporting period to find whether there is objective evidence of impairment of financial assets, i.e., one or more events that occur after the initial recognition of those assets and have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, they would probably enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows. 1) Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments has incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an impairment provision account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement.

Annual Report 2011 189

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.189 The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. 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. Future cash flows of a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of 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 impact of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to eliminate the impact of historical conditions that do not exist currently. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed and adjusted regularly by the Group. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be attributed objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed and recorded in the income statement. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the assets does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. When an item of loans 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 the amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the provision for loan impairment in the income statement. 2) Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has incurred on the unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of that financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows. Impairment losses on these assets are not reversed. 3) Available-for-sale financial assets The Group reviews available-for-sale financial assets at the end of each quarter to determine whether there is any objective evidence for impairment loss on any investment or investment portfolio. If there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the income statement. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the income statement; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised as other comprehensive income. In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, if, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement, the impaired loss is reversed through the income statement. 4) Renegotiated loans If the Group chooses to restructure loans, this may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due. The Management continuously reviews renegotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subject to individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan’s original effective interest rate.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.190 (d) Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities held by the Group are classified in to financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities.

1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are classified as financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss designated by the Management at initial recognition based on conditions set out in Note 2.4(b)1). Change in fair value is recognised in the income statement.

2) Other financial liabilities

Except for financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, deposits, bonds issued and other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(e) Recognition of Financial Instruments

A financial asset or financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party of the financial instrument contract.

(f) Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired; or

• The Group has retained its rights to receive cash flows from the assets, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or

• The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the assets, and (i) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; or (ii) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

Annual Report 2011 191

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.191 (g) Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. If there is an active market, fair value is determined according to market quotation, including recent arm’s length market transactions; otherwise, proper valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models are adopted. 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 hybrid instrument is not carried at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. (h) Offset Financial assets and liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset such amounts with the same counterparty and an intention to settle on a net basis. (i) Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions Assets sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date (“repos”) are recognised on the statement of financial position. The corresponding cash received, including accrued interest, is recognised on the statement of financial position as a “repurchase agreement”, reflecting its economic substance as a loan to the Group. The difference between the sale and repurchase prices is treated as an interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate method. Conversely, assets purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date (“reverse repos”) are not recognised on the statement of financial position. The corresponding cash paid, including accrued interest, is recognised on the statement of financial position as a “reverse repurchase agreement”. The difference between the purchase and resale prices is treated as an interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate method. (j) Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost or determined value. The cost of an item of property and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after items of property and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. The expenditure which could create an increase in future economic benefits is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset. Property and equipment is reviewed item by item at the end of reporting period, and the difference between the recoverable amount and carrying value is recognized as allowance for impairment losses on property and equipment in the income statement. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line basis according to the cost, estimated residual value (5% of cost) and estimated useful life. The estimated useful life and the annual depreciation rate of each item of property and equipment are as follows: Estimated Annual useful life depreciation rate Properties and buildings 5-40 years 2.38%-19% Improvements of property and equipment 5-10 years 9.5%-19% Office equipment and computers 5-12 years 7.92%-19% Motor vehicles 5-10 years 9.5%-19% Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, including land use right under a lease, land use right held and to be transferred after appreciation, and buildings under a lease.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.192 An investment property is measured initially at its cost. Any subsequent expenditures related to the investment property is recognised as cost of investment property when and only when the future economic benefits associated with the investment property will probably flow to the entity and the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably; otherwise the expenditure is recognised in the income statement. After initial measurement, investment property is measured using cost model with reference to the estimated residual value, depreciation rate and depreciation method of properties and buildings, that is, a residual rate of 5% and useful life of 35 years on a straight-line basis. Construction in progress comprises the direct costs of construction during the period of construction and is not depreciated. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property and equipment when completed and ready for use. Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, on a regular basis. An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised. (k) Repossessed Assets Collateral assets or other effective assets for loans and advances are repossessed by the Group when the borrowers are unable to honour their repayments, and would be realised in settlement of the related outstanding debts. Repossessed assets are recognised when the Group has the right to dispose of such assets. Repossessed assets are initially recognised at fair value, and are reviewed by the Management of the Group at the end of each reporting period. Any impairment loss, being the difference between the estimated net recoverable amount and the carrying value, is charged to the income statement. (l) Impairment of Non-financial Assets other than Deferred Tax Assets The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined on an individual basis, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use of an asset, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of any depreciation/ amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement, unless the asset is presented at its reassessed value, in which case, the reversal is recognised as reassessment appreciation. After such a reversal, the depreciation/amortisation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

Annual Report 2011 193

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.193 (m) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, unrestricted balances with central banks with original maturity of less than three months, amounts due from and due to banks and other financial institutions with original maturity of less than three months and short-term investments which are short term highly liquid, readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and become due within three months from the date of purchase. (n) Operating Leases Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of the assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payments applicable to operating leases are charged to the income statement on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. (o) Related Parties A party is considered to be related to the Group if: (i) The party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (a) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (b) has an interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (c) has joint control over the Group; (ii) The party is an associate of the Group; (iii) The party is a joint venture in which the Group is a venturer; (iv) The party is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or its parent company; (v) The party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv); (vi) The party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by, or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or (vii) The party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Group. (p) Recognition of Income Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 1) For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and interest-generating financial instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, interest income is recorded at the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future net cash inflow through the expected life of the financial instrument. Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been impaired, interest income is recognised using the original interest rate and carrying value after impairment. 2) Rentals of investment property is recognised on an accrual basis. 3) Fee and commission income is recognised when relevant service is provided and the amount to be received can be properly estimated. 4) Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment has been established. 5) Results arising from trading activities include all gains and losses from changes in fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities that are held for trading. This includes gains and losses from changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of the hedging arrangements, and gains and losses realised in buying and selling.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.194 (q) Income Tax Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement as income tax income or expense, expect that it relates to transactions or events directly recognised in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax

Current income tax is the current income tax payable calculated pursuant to current taxable income. Taxable income is calculated after corresponding adjustments are made to profit before tax for the year according to relevant tax regulations. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

• Where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income; and

• In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

• Where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income; and

• In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. When it is unlikely that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred income tax asset will be written down. The amount of unrecognised deferred income tax assets is reassessed by the Group at the end of each reporting period. When it is virtually probable that sufficient taxable income will be available, the previously unrecognised income tax assets will be recognised.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.195 (r) Employee Retirement Benefits In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the Group is required to provide employees with retirement benefits. The Group is responsible for contributing a certain percentage of the employees’ salaries to a defined contribution plan under management of the government. Such contributions are recognised in the income statement as incurred. In addition, the Company also establishes enterprise annuity plans managed by insurance companies. According to these plans, the Company contributes a certain amount on a regular basis. The contribution is charged to the income statement when it incurs. The Company pays a fixed contribution into the annuity plan and has no obligation to pay further contributions if the annuity plan does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits. (s) Fiduciary Activities Where the Group acts in a fiduciary capacity such as appointed, custodian or agent, assets arising thereon together with related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the statement of financial position. The Group grants entrusted loans on behalf of third-party lenders, which are recorded off-balance sheet. The Group, as an agent, grants such entrusted loans to borrowers under the direction of those third-party lenders who fund these loans. The Group has been contracted by those third-party lenders to manage the administration and collection of these loans on their behalf. Those third-party lenders determine both the underwriting criteria for and the terms of all entrusted loans including their purposes, amounts, interest rates, and repayment schedules. The Group charges a commission related to its activities in connection with entrusted loans which are recognised over the period in which the service is provided. The risk of loss is borne by those third-party lenders. Entrusted wealth management services refer to such activities that the Group entrusts third parties to invest by and manage funds from customers of the Group and pays investment income to the customers according to agreed terms and conditions and actual return. The Group does not guarantee the payment of principal and return at maturity. (t) Financial Guarantee Contracts The Group issues letters of credit, letters of guarantee and acceptance. These financial guarantee contracts provide for specified payments to be made to reimburse the holders for the losses they incur when a guaranteed party defaults under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument, loan or any other obligation. The Group initially measures all financial contracts at fair value, in other liabilities, being the premium received. This amount is recognised ratably over the period of the contract as fee and commission income. Subsequently, the liabilities are measured at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantee. (u) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset; but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain, the expenses relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If time value of money has significant effects, provisions are estimated using pre-tax discounting of future cash flows. Such discounting rate reflects risk assessment specific to the liability. As time passes, carrying amount increases and the increase is recognised as interest expense.

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. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable and can be reliably estimated, it will then be recognised as a provision. 3. IMPACT OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements.

IFRS 1 Amendments Amendments to IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters 1 IFRS 7 Amendments Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets 1 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 5 IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements 4 IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements 4 IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 4 IFRS 13 Fair value measurement 4 IAS 1 Amendment Amendments to IAS1 Financial Statement Presentation – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income 3 IAS 12 Amendment Amendment to IAS 12 Income tax – Deferred Tax – Recovery of Underlying Assets 2 IAS 19 Amendment Employee benefits 4 IAS 27 (Revised) Separate Financial Statements 4 IAS 28 (Revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures 4 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012

4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015

The Group is in the process of making an assessment on the impact of these new and revised IFRSs upon initial application. Further information about those changes that are expected to affect the Group is as follows:

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements (Amendment)

The amendment requires additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognised to enable the user of the financial statements to understand the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognised and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognised assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with the entity’s continuing involvement in those derecognised assets. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. The amendment affects disclosure only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Annual Report 2011 197

IFRS 9 reflects the first phase of the IASB’s work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address impairment of hedge accounting and financial assets. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements in IAS 27. The Group is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its financial position or performance.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities

IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new requirements are also required. The Group is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its financial position or performance.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its financial position or performance.

IAS 1 Financial Statement Presentation – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendment)

The amendments to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income. Items that could be reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affects presentation of items only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

The amendment clarifies the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale. Furthermore, it introduces the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should always be measured on a sale basis of the asset. The amendments will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)

As a consequence of the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, what remains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. 4. NET INTEREST INCOME 2011 2010

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK PROFILE A description and an analysis of the major risks faced by the Group are as follows: 36a. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability to meet its obligations. Credit risk can also arise from operational failures that result in an unauthorized or inappropriate advances, commitment or investment of funds. The Group is exposed to credit risk primarily due to loans, investments, guarantees and other credit related commitments. The Group has established a set of credit quality assessment systems, under which lines of credit and collateral value or security level required are established according to risk status of the borrower or counterparty. Relevant risk assessment process comprises customer due diligence, risk rating, approval of credit line, review of loans and post-lending monitoring. Risk assessment is carried out on a regular basis to enable the Group to promptly monitor potential risks and adopt appropriate measures of mitigation. To enhance the credit risk management practices, the Group also launches ongoing training programs for credit officers at different levels. In addition to the credit risk exposures on credit-related assets, investments and amounts due from banks and other financial institutions, credit risk also arises in other areas. For instance, credit risk exposure also arises from derivative financial instruments which are, however, limited to derivative financial assets, as recorded in the statement of financial position. In addition, the Group also makes available to its customers guarantees which may require the Group to make payments on their behalf. Such payments are collected from customers based on the terms of the agreements signed. They expose the Group to similar risks as loans and these are mitigated by the same control processes and policies. Risk concentrations Credit risk is often greater when counterparties are concentrated in one single industry or geographical location or have comparable economic characteristics. Financial instrument portfolio of the Group is classified by industry and region. Loan impairment assessment The main considerations for the loan impairment assessment include whether any payments of principal or interest are overdue or whether there are any liquidity problems of counterparties, credit rating downgrades, or infringement of the original terms of the contract. The Group addresses impairment assessment in two areas: individually assessed impairment and collectively assessed impairment. Individually assessed All corporate loans and discounted bills are individually reviewed for objective evidence of impairment and classified based on a five-tier classification system. Corporate loans that are classified as substandard, doubtful or loss are assessed individually for impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a loan or advance has been incurred on an individual basis, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. In determining allowances on an individual basis, the following factors are considered: the sustainability of the borrower’s business plan; the borrower’s ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen; projected receipts and the expected payout should bankruptcy ensue; the availability of other financial support and the realisable value of collateral; and the timing of the expected cash flows. It may not be possible to identify a single, discrete event that caused the impairment, but it may be possible to identify impairment through the combined effect of several events. The impairment losses are evaluated at the end of each reporting period, unless unforeseen circumstances occur.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.228 Collectively assessed Loans that are assessed for impairment losses on a collective basis include all loans for which no impairment can be identified individually, either due to the absence of any loss events or due to an inability to measure reliably the impact of potential loss events on future cash flows. For the purpose of collective assessment, assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics that are indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Objective evidence of impairment losses on a collective basis consists of observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans since the initial recognition of those loans, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group of loans; and national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the portfolio of loans. Homogenous Groups of Loans Not Considered Individually Significant For homogeneous groups of loans, the Group uses a collective assessment approach for impairment losses. The approach analyses historical trends of probability of default and the amount of the consequential loss, as well as evaluates current economic conditions that may have a consequential impact on inherent losses in the portfolio. Individually Assessed Loans with No Objective Evidence of Impairment When no impairment can be identified for individual loans, either due to the absence of any loss events or due to an inability to measure reliably the impact of potential loss events on future cash flows, these loans are grouped together in portfolios of similar credit risk characteristics for the purpose of assessing a collective impairment loss. This loss covers those loans that were impaired at the end of the reporting period but which would not be individually identified as impaired until sometime in the future. The collective impairment loss is assessed after taking into account historical loss experience in portfolios of similar risk characteristics; and the current economic and credit environment and, whether these, in management’s experience, indicate that the actual level of incurred but not yet identified losses is likely to be greater or less than that suggested by historical experience. As soon as information that specifically identifies objective evidence of impairment on individual assets in a pool is available, those assets are excluded and individually from the portfolio. 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 for impairment. Collateral The amount and type of collateral required depend on the assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines are in place specifying the types of collateral and valuation parameters which can be accepted. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows: • Reverse repurchase transactions are mainly collateralised by bills, loans or investment securities; • Commercial lending is mainly collateralised by properties and other assets of the borrowers; and • Retail lending is mainly collateralised by residential properties. The Management monitors the market value of collateral periodically and requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement when it is considered necessary. It is the Group’s policy to dispose of repossessed assets in an orderly manner. In general, the Group does not occupy repossessed assets for business use.

Impaired loans are those on which there is objective evidence that impairment losses have occurred. Where individual or several loss events occurred on loans and advances after initial recognition and the effects of such events on future cash flows generated from the loans and advances can be reliably measured, then there is objective evidence that the loans have impaired. At 31 December 2011, fair value of collateral for loans past due but not impaired was RMB1,132,496 thousand (at 31 December 2010: RMB384,140 thousand). The collateral mainly consists of land, properties, equipment, equity and also others. At 31 December 2011, fair value of collateral for impaired loans was RMB8,444,270 thousand (at 31 December 2010: RMB9,536,839 thousand). The collateral mainly consists of land, properties, equipment, equity and also others.

Credit quality of other assets

At 31 December 2011, adequate allowance was in place for impaired loans, and partial loans past due but not impaired as a result of short-term financial difficulty of borrowers were not classified as impaired loans as there was no objective evidence of impairment.

The Group regularly monitors relevant loans and adjusts the classification according to specific situation. For impaired loans, the Group sets aside allowance considering the historical default rate and loss rate of overall loans.

(iii) Collateral

During the year, the Group took possession of collateral held as security with a carrying amount of RMB4,789 thousand (2010: RMB22,499 thousand). Such collateral mainly comprises land and properties and equipment.

36b. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that funds will not be available to meet liabilities as they fall due. The Group manages its liquidity risk through the asset and liability management department and aims at optimizing the structure of assets and liabilities, maintaining the stability of the deposit base, projecting cash flows and evaluating the level of current assets.

On behalf of the Group, the asset and liability management department monitors liquidity risk to ensure effective management. The department is responsible for reviewing and deciding policies concerning liquidity risk management; reviewing and deciding liquidity risk monitoring indicators and warning value; listening to and discussing report on liquidity risk on a regular basis; and reviewing and deciding liquidity risk management measures.

Major measures of liquidity risk management include analysis of liquidity risk exposure based on asset and liability maturity analysis, and bridging the liquidity gap.

36c. Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss, in respect of the Group’s on- and off-balance sheet activities, arising from adverse movements in market rates including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and stock prices. The objective of market risk management is to maximize risk return through management and control of market risk exposure. Market risk arises from both the Group’s trading and non-trading business. The Group is primarily exposed to structural interest rate risk arising from commercial banking and position risk arising from treasury transactions. Interest rate risk is inherent in many of its businesses and largely arises from mismatches between the repricing dates of interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Group’s currency risk mainly results from foreign currency investment portfolio in proprietary treasury operation. The Group considers the market risk arising from commodity or stock prices fluctuations in respect of its investment portfolios as immaterial. The risk management department of the Group is responsible for formulating market risk management policies. In accordance with risk management policies of the Group, the planning and finance department is responsible for managing the scale and structure of items in the statement of financial position and related interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The treasury department is responsible for managing RMB and foreign currency denominated investment portfolio of the Head Office, carrying out proprietary transactions and agency transactions, and implementing rules and regulations of market risk management. The Group monitors market risk of trading bonds, available-for-sale bonds and other non-trading investment portfolios separately. Trading investment portfolios include exchange rate and interest rate derivative instruments apart from trading bonds. The Group employs basis point present value to measure and monitor market risk of trading businesses and available-for-sale bond investments, and uses net interest income sensitivity analysis, spread analysis and exchange rate concentration to analyze market risk of all businesses.

The Group conducts it businesses mainly in RMB, with certain transactions denominated in USD, HKD and, to a lesser extent, other currencies. Transactions in foreign currencies mainly arise from the Group’s treasury operations.

The exchange rate of RMB to USD is managed under a floating exchange rate system. The HKD exchange rate has been pegged to the USD and therefore the exchange rate of RMB to HKD has fluctuated in line with the changes in the exchange rate of RMB to USD.

The Group manages its currency risk through various methods, including regularly performing currency risk exposure of assets and liabilities to keep currency risk controllable and using exchange rate derivatives available.

The table below indicates a sensitivity analysis of exchange rate changes of the currencies to which the Group and the Company had significant exposure on their monetary assets and liabilities and their forecast cash flows. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement in the currency rates against the RMB, with all other variables of income statement held constant, on profit before tax. A negative amount in the table reflects a potential net reduction in profit before tax, while a positive amount reflects a potential net increase. This effect, however, is based on the assumption that the Group’s and the Company’s foreign exchange exposures as at the year end are kept unchanged and, therefore, have not incorporated actions that would be taken by the Group and the Company to mitigate the adverse impact of this foreign exchange risk.

The Group and the Company, at 31 December 2011 (in RMB millions) Change in Effect on profit Currency currency rate before tax

USD +/- 5% –/+ 5 HKD +/- 5% –/+ 9 The Group and the Company at 31 December 2010 (in RMB millions) Change in Effect on profit Currency currency rate before tax

USD +/- 5% +/- 75 HKD +/- 5% +/- 0

The above effects on profit before tax are based on currency risk exposure analyzed by the Management.

The Group holds no foreign currency equity; therefore, changes in exchange rate do not affect equity.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from the mismatches between the repricing dates of interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Group’s interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB. The PBOC establishes RMB benchmark interest rates which include a cap for RMB deposit rates and a floor for RMB loan rates.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by: monthly monitoring the macroeconomic factors that may have impact on the PBOC benchmark interest rates; optimizing the differences in timing between contractual maturities and repricing of interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and managing the deviation of the pricing of interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities from the PBOC benchmark interest rates.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s net interest income and equity.

The sensitivity of net interest income is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on net interest income for the year, based on non-trading floating-rate financial assets and financial liabilities held at year end.

The Group (in RMB millions) Change in Sensitivity of basis points net interest income

2011 +/-25BP –/+365 +/-50BP –/+731

2010 +/-25BP +/-221 +/-50BP +/-441

The Company (in RMB millions) Change in Sensitivity of basis points net interest income

2011 +/-25BP –/+366 +/-50BP –/+733

2010 +/-25BP +/-220 +/-50BP +/-441

The above effects on net interest income are based on interest risk exposure of assets and liabilities analysed by the Management.

The sensitivity of equity is the effect of the assumed changes of one basis point in interest rates on equity, calculated by revaluing available-for-sale financial assets held at year end.

37. Fair value of financial instruments Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. If there is an active market, such as authorized stock exchange, market prices of financial instruments are the best representatives of their fair value. As market prices of some financial assets or liabilities held or issued by the Group are not available, the Group uses discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques to determine fair value of such financial instruments. In this case, fair value is affected by future cash flow amount, timing assumption and discount rate adopted.

Financial assets

Financial assets of the Group include balances with central banks, due from banks and other financial institutions, reverse repurchase agreements, loans and advances to customers and investments.

Balances with central banks, and due from banks and other financial institutions

Balances with central banks and due from banks and other financial institutions are priced at market interest rate, and mainly get due within one year, therefore, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference.

CAR1204001 • Huaxia Bank • 1st Proof • 1-6-2012 • 12:02 • 80072 • 29 E_Huaxia_Bank_TNT_Notes.indd P.252 Loans and advances to customers

Loans and advances to customers are priced at a floating rate close to interest rate prescribed by PBOC, therefore, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference.

Reverse repurchase agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements are priced at market interest rate, and mainly get due within one year, therefore, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference.

Investments

Except partial equity investments measured at cost, available-for-sale investments and bond investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group include due to banks and other financial institutions, repurchase agreements, due to customers and subordinated bonds issued.

Due to banks and other financial institutions

Due to banks and other financial institutions are priced at market interest rate, and mainly get due within one year, therefore, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference.

Repurchase agreements

Repurchase agreements are priced at market interest rate, and mainly get due within one year, therefore, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference.

The table below sets out carrying value and fair value of held-to-maturity bond investments, subordinated bonds issued, hybrid capital bonds and financial bonds whose fair value is not reflected or disclosed:

(a) Fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and of available-for-sale financial assets are determined with reference to market price available. In the event of unavailable market price, pricing model or discounted cash flow analysis is employed. Carrying value of such assets is their fair value.

(b) Fair value of held-to-maturity financial assets, subordinated bonds, hybrid capital bonds and financial bonds are determined with reference to market price available. In the event of unavailable market price, pricing model or discounted cash flow analysis is employed.

(c) Fair value of loans with fixed rates is estimated by comparing the market interest rate when the loans were granted and the prevailing market interest rate of similar loans. Interest rates of most loans are repriced yearly in response to changes in benchmark interest rate announced by the PBOC, therefore, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference. Credit quality changes of loans in the loan portfolio are not considered in determining the overall fair value, as credit risk impact has been represented in the allowances for losses on loans and deducted from the carrying value and fair value.

(d) Applicable interest rate of deposits is determined based on specific product, which could be fixed or floating. Fair value of demand deposits and savings account with no designated due date is the amount payable at request of customers. As most time deposits are short-term, their carrying value and fair value have no big difference.

The above assumptions and methods provide unified basis for estimating fair value of the Group’s assets and liabilities. However, as other institutions may adopt different methods and assumptions, the fair value disclosed by various financial institutions does not have the absolute comparability.

Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: valuation techniques, all inputs that have material effect on valuation results adopt observable market information, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: valuation techniques, some inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The following table shows an analysis of financial instruments recorded at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy:

• To safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders;

• To support the Group’s stability and growth;

• To allocate capital in an efficient and risk-based approach to optimize risk adjusted return to the shareholders; and

• To maintain an adequate capital base to support the development of its business.

Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored regularly by the Management of the Group based on regulations issued by the CBRC. The required information is filed with the CBRC by the Group quarterly.

CBRC requires commercial banks to maintain the capital adequacy ratio and core capital adequacy ratio not below the minimum of 8% and 4% respectively. In the year, the Group satisfied capital requirements of regulatory authorities.

The Group computes and reports capital adequacy ratio in accordance with the Regulations Governing Capital Adequacy of Commercial Banks promulgated by the CBRC.

The capital adequacy ratio and related components of the Group are computed in accordance with the statutory financial statements prepared under the PRC GAAP. 31 December 2011 31 December 2010
