The past 2010 has been the most complex year for both domestic and international economy and financial market, which was also the year that China’s banking sector faced the challenge and endeavored through difficulties. Facing the complicated and difficult business environment, Bank of Beijing, with great effort from its all employees, has fully achieved the 2010 objectives with outstanding performance, successfully celebrated its 15th anniversary.
New development strategic milestones achieved. In 2010, Bank of Beijing established the first domestic consumer finance company-Bank of Beijing Consumer Finance Company, and set up ING-BoB Life Insurance joint venture with our partner ING, realizing great breakthrough in business-mixed operation. On geographic expansion, regional branches have been opened in Nanjing and Jinan, in addition to Zhongguancun Regional Branch in Beijing-the first specialized branch for innovation zone. On international development aspect, the second overseas representative office was established in Amsterdam, indicating the Bank to become the first small/medium-sized Chinese bank entering Europe.
Comprehensive strength further enhanced. In 2010, we accurately grasped the environment change and development opportunities, achieved leapfrog growth. Total assets topped 733.2 billion Yuan, with YOY growth of 37.44%; total deposits balance was 557.7 billion Yuan, with YOY growth of 24.79%; total loans balance was 334.7 billion Yuan, with YOY growth of 22.40%. We have already stepped into the rank as a medium-sized bank. Full-year profit realized 6.8 billion Yuan, up by 20.75%. Profit per capital reached 1.05 million, ranking No.1 among all listed banks. Our assets quality has been further optimized, both NPL balance and ratio all dropped; provision coverage reached 307.12%, up by 91.43 percent compared to 2009-end.
Operation transformation stepped new progress. The Bank accelerated the development of retail, fee business and SME, continuously increasing their profit contribution. The annual savings deposit net growth was 25.46 billion; retail loan balance increased by 18.50 billion Yuan, which is more than the sum of previous 3-years growth. Net fee & commission income was 964 million Yuan, up by almost 50% and its proportion up by 0.7 percentage point. SME lending had a fast growth as high as 35%, which is 13 percentage points higher than the overall loan growth rate. We maintained the leading market share in Beijing and further strengthened the feature.
Brand image had new leapfrog. Currently, Bank of Beijing ranks No.155 in terms of tier-one capital on the Top1000 World Banks list, competitiveness ranking No.13 in Asian banking sector and brand value ranking No.9 in China’s banking sector. We also received various honors including “Top100 Chinese listed companies”, “China’s Best Retail City Commercial Bank” and etc. The Bank has grown as an outstanding listed company with widely-recognized reputation in China and certain influence in the global market.
Our achievements cannot be made without the scientific guidance from government and regulatory authorities, without the trust and support from customers and investors, or without the hard-working staff team. I would like to extend our utmost gratitude on behalf of the Board to government officials, investors, clients and all employees.
The year of 2011 is the first year of Bank of Beijing’s fourth five-year planning. Under the guidance of scientific development outlook, we will accelerate strategic transformation to compose another outstanding chapter of the Bank!

8.3.2 Liquidity risk profile and management measures
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that cannot meet customers’ demand of withdrawal due liabilities and new loans, reasonable financing etc, or cannot meet the demand at normal cost. It requires commercial banks to keep certain current asset or ensure smooth financing channels.
The Bank set up liquidity risk governance structure composed by the Board’s Risk Management Committee, senior management and Asset-liability Committee(ALCO), responsible for formulating liquidity risk management strategy and setting up internal control mechanism, to support the implementation and supervision of the strategy. Based on the governance structure, set up liquidity risk management organization composed by President, Finance, Risk Management, Financial Market, Corporate Banking and Retail Banking.
The Bank’s liquidity risk measurement adopts liquidity indicators and liquidity gap calculation method, and the latter one includes measurement under normal conditions and liquidity crisis conditions. The Bank uses regular stress test and Ad hoc special stress test to analyze its capacity to withhold liquidity incident or crisis. To deal with liquidity, the Bank enhanced limit management and monitoring; formulated targeted contingent plan for different liquidity incident and crisis, set up liquidity contingent leading team, established and monitored internal and external early warning indicators and triggers, as well as trigger mechanism based on early- warning indicator; set up liquidity risk reporting mechanism, having Finance and Risk Management to submit reports to senior management and the Board regularly on liquidity risk profile, liquidity stress test and contingent plan.
The Bank actively uses technical measures to improve asset-liability management system’s application level, uses the system to have real-time monitoring on liquidity indicators and exposure, to form automatic liquidity risk measurement and regular monitoring mechanism. Also, the Bank organizes its asset-liability business based on liquidity gap, uses FTP to actively and proactively adjust tenor structure. The Bank kept improving its liquidity management manners, enhanced and improved policy formulation, timely adjusted policy, to put an appropriately liquidity level.
In 2010, China implemented moderate loose monetary policy and issued credit policy of “encouraging or discouraging credit production in certain sectors” to optimize credit structure. Meanwhile, central bank issued deposit reserve rate for 6 times and benchmark rate for 2 times, as well as re-discounting and re-lending rates for the first time in past two years. There are more monetary policy tools used to control liquidity and liquidity at certain time point got tightened. But under the reasonable growth of monetary credit, the overall liquidity of banking sector is basically appropriate. Under such background, the Bank’s liquidity management focused on allocating funds reasonably to support business development. The Bank put more support to credit business, treasury business and bond business and controlled excess reserve rate to improve overall return on assets.
During the reporting period, the Bank’s asset and liability business had a stable and healthy development, with good liquidity. Liquidity related indicators are as follows:
Major regulatory indictors Standard 2010.12.31 2009.12.31 2008.12.31

rate change. The Bank’s interest rate risk exposure faces risk of fair value and cash flow interest rate caused by market major interest rate change.

8.7.1 About macro control
In 2010, the government maintained the consistency and stability of macro economy policy, carried out positive fiscal policy and moderate loose monetary policy, and improved the orientation and flexibility of policy. There are frequent changes in economy situation and financial policies issued in 2010. Almost every month there is new policy, which has material impact on the operation of commercial banks.
At year-beginning, PBOC intensified window guidance to financial institutions, by improving credit policy guidance, implementing credit quota control, guiding financial institutions to adjust their credit structure and production pace in a reasonable manners, and enhancing the transformation of finance to support economy adjustment.
To enhancing banking supervision and financial market control, CBRC actively set up and improved the law framework for financial institution lending.

In 2010, PBOC further improved the orientation and flexibility of monetary policy, conducted open market activities in a flexible way, raised required reserve rate for 6 times, benchmark rate of loans for 2 times and re-discounting rate and re-lending rate for the first time in past 2 years.
In 2010, to conduct more proactive liquidity management, guide credit growth to normal pace and manage inflation, PBOC frequently used required reserve rate while operating opening market. It raised the rate for 6 times on Jan 18, Feb 25, May 10, Nov 16, Nov 29 and Dec 20, for 0.5 percent each time in total 3 percent. The higher reserve rate has taken out liquidity and became pressure on liquidity management for banks.

Since Q4, to stabilize inflation and curb the over-speed increase of loans, PBOC raised benchmark rate of RMB deposits and loans on Oct 20 and Dec 26 as well as re-lending rate to financial institutions on Dec 26. The shrinking margin has affected profitability of banks on certain extent.

PwC ZT Shen Zi (2011) No. 10051
To the shareholders of Bank of Beijing Co., Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bank of Beijing Co., Ltd. (the “Bank”) and its subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated and company balance sheets as at 31 December 2009, the consolidated and company income statements, the consolidated and company cash flow statements, and the consolidated and company statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the year then ended and notes to these financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
The management of the Bank is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. This responsibility includes: (1) designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; (2) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and (3) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
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 the China Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting polices used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by 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.
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2010, and financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I GENERAL INFORMATION
Bank of Beijing Co., Ltd. (the “Bank”) was established in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) as approved by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) on 28 December 1995, originally known as Beijing Urban Cooperative Bank. On 28 September 2004, the Bank was renamed as Bank of Beijing Co., Ltd. with the approval from the China Banking Regulatory Commission (“CBRC”) Beijing Bureau. The Bank is licensed to operate in Beijing as a financial institution by the CBRC license number B0107H211000001; and is registered as a business enterprise with the Beijing Branch of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce with the business registration number 110000005064399. The registered address is first floor of A17, Financial Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.
On 19 September 2007, the Bank issued ordinary shares and was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
As at 31 December 2010, the Bank has established 190 branches and sub-branches in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, etc and 2 representative offices in Hong Kong and Amsterdam, Netherland.
The Bank and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) provide a full range of financial services, including corporate banking, personal banking, treasury operations and others.
The financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 8 April 2011.
II BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises General Standards and the 38 specific accounting standards issued by the Ministry of Finance (hereinafter referred to as “ASBE”) on 15 February 2006, the implementation guidance on and interpretations of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and other relevant rules and regulations subsequently released (hereinafter collectively referred to as “CAS”), and Preparation Conventions of Information Disclosure by Public Offering Company No. 15 - General Rules for Financial Reporting (2010 revised) issued by China Securities Regulatory Commission (hereinafter referred to as “CSRC”).
III STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH CAS
The consolidated and company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 prepared by the Bank comply with CAS, and present fairly and completely the financial position of the Group and the Bank as at 31 December 2010, the financial performance, cash flows and other relevant information of the Group and the Bank for the year then ended.
IV SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
(I) Significant accounting policies
1 Accounting period
The Group’s accounting year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
2 Recording currency
The recording currency is Renminbi (hereinafter referred to as “Rmb”).
82 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
3 Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Bank obtains control and is de-consolidated from the date when such control ceases.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Bank during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where there are inconsistencies in the accounting policies and accounting periods.
All significant inter-bank balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and the portion of a subsidiary’s net profits and losses for the year not attributable to the Bank are recognised as minority interest and presented separately in the equity of the consolidated balance sheet and net profit.
4 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
5 Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Rmb using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the financial reporting date are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Translation differences on monetary assets and liabilities, except monetary securities classified as available for sale, are recognised in the income statement. Translation differences of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in the income statement, and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in reserves of changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets in equity.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are translated into Rmb using the foreign exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the foreign exchange rates at the date the fair value is determined. Translation differences on non- monetary financial assets classified as available-for-sale are recorded in the available-for-sale reserve in capital reserve. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised as “gains or losses on fair value changes” in the income statement.
6 Financial assets
(1) Classification of financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification of financial assets depends on the Group’s intention and ability to hold the financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for the purpose of selling in the short term, which are presented as trading assets on the balance sheet.
83 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, including deposits with central bank, due from banks and other financial institutions, placements with banks and other financial institutions, assets purchased under resale agreements, loans and advances to customers, investment receivables and part of other receivables.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories at initial recognition.
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed maturity and fixed or determinable payments that management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Other than in specific circumstances (e.g. sale of an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity securities at a time close to maturity), if the Group fails to hold these securities to maturity or reclassifies some of the securities to available-for-sale financial assets, the Group shall have to reclassify any of the remaining securities as available-for-sale financial assets, and measure them at fair value rather than amortized cost. After this reclassification, the Group shall not reclassify financial assets as held-to-maturity in the current period and the following two full accounting years.
(2) Recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on trade date. In the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs occurred at the time of acquisition are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. For other financial assets, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in their initial recognition amounts.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Investments in equity instruments are measured at cost when they do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised as “gains or losses on fair value changes” in the income statement. Interests and cash dividends received during the period in which such financial assets are held, as well as the gains or losses arising from the disposal of the assets are recognised as “gains or losses on investments” in the income statement.
A gain or loss arising from a change in fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is recognised directly in capital surplus, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses arising from the foreign translation of monetary financial assets. When such financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Interests on available-for-sale financial assets in debt instruments are calculated using the effective interest rate method during the period in which such investments are held are recognised as “interest income” in the income statement and cash dividends declared by the investees on available-for-sale financial assets in equity instruments are recognised as “gains or losses on investments” in the income statement.
7 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset against each other and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
84 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
8 Impairment of financial assets
The Group reviews the carrying amount of all financial assets on each balance sheet date except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and the allowance shall be made if there is objective evidence states impairment incurred.
The objective evidences used by the Group to recognise whether impairment exists are as follows:
- Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
- A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
- The creditors granting to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
- It becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
- The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
- Historical experience or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group, including the payment ability of the borrowers of a group of financial assets deteriorate gradually, the unemployment rate of the borrowers’ countries or regions increases, the price of guaranties drops significantly in the region, or the borrowers are in depressed industries;
- Any significant change with an adverse effect that has taken place in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered;
- Significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the equity instrument investment; or
- Other objective evidences indicating impairment of the financial asset.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant. If the Group determines that objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, the financial assets that are individually significant will be recognised in the profit or loss as “impairment losses”. For financial assets that are not individually significant or that have no objective evidence of impairment after the individual assessment, the Group includes the assets in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.
(1) Assets carried at amortised costs
If an impairment loss has been incurred on financial assets carried at amortised cost, 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 (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate and recognised as “allowance for impairment losses” in the income statement. Original effective interest rate is the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. For financial asset with a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring future cash flows is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
For the purposes of a collective assessment of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar and relevant credit risk characteristics. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.
85 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the Group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exist.
Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of assets have reflected and are directionally consistent with changes in related observable data from period to period. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for impairment after all the necessary procedures have been completed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of “allowance for impairment losses” in the income statement.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment losses decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement of credit rating of the debtor), the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed and recognised as “allowance for impairment losses” in the income statement. The reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed.
(2) Available-for-sale financial assets
If there is objective evidence that the available-for-sale financial assets occur impairment, the accumulative losses arising from the decrease of the fair value, which was originally directly included the shareholders’ equity, shall be transferred into income statement as impairment losses. The cumulative losses are measured as the net value after the initial recognition cost less collected principal, amortised amount, current fair value and allowance which are originally recorded in the profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement and recognised as “allowance for impairment losses”.
With respect to equity instruments, impairment losses recognised in profit or loss are subsequently reversed through equity, rather than through profit or loss. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity investment that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the impairment loss should not be reversed.
9 De-recognition of financial assets
The financial assets are derecognised when one of the following criteria is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial assets have expired; (2) the financial assets have been transferred, and all substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets have been transferred; (3) the Group gives up the control over the financial assets, although it neither transfers nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
When the financial assets are derecognised, the difference between the book value and consideration and the accumulated fair value change accounted in equity, is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
10 Determination of fair value for financial instruments
If there is an active market for financial instruments, the quoted market prices in the active market shall be used to determine the fair value. If there is no active market for financial instruments, the Group determines the fair value using a valuation technique. The valuation techniques include using recent market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis. The Group uses observable data except for certain factors directly related with the Group in the valuation models if actual operation permits.
11 Derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives
Derivative financial instruments include forward contracts, financial futures contracts, financial swaps and options, as well as compound instruments which have one or more characteristics of the above financial instruments. A derivative financial instrument
86 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
has all of the following characteristics:
- Its value changes in response to the changes in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable;
- It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in those market factors; and
- It is settled at a future date.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re- measured at their fair values. The gains or losses from the valuation of the financial instruments as a result of the fluctuation of their fair value are recorded in the income statement of the current period, and reflected in the balance sheet as derivative financial instrument assets or derivative financial instrument liabilities.
An embedded derivative financial instrument is a derivative financial instrument embedded in a non-derivative host contract (the “host contract”), and the derivative financial instrument causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified, according to a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, such as the conversion option for the holder of a convertible bond.
If a contract contains embedded derivatives but the entire hybrid contract is not designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss, the Group separates embedded derivatives from the host contract and accounts for these as derivatives, if, and only if:
(i) The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract
(ii) A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative
If those embedded derivatives separated from the host contract, but are unable to measure separately either at acquisition or at a subsequent financial reporting date, the Group designate the entire hybrid contract as at fair value through profit or loss.
After an embedded derivative is separated from its host contract, the host contract, if it is a financial instrument, shall be accounted for as a financial asset or financial liability where appropriate.
12 Resale and repurchase agreements
Assets purchased under resale agreements are bonds, loans and bills purchased by the Group at certain price from the sellers under agreements with commitment to resell these items to the original sellers in the future at predetermined prices. Assets sold under repurchase agreements refer to bonds, loans and bills sold by the Bank at certain prices under agreements with commitment to buy back the items in the future at predetermined prices.
Assets purchased under resale agreements and assets sold under repurchase agreements are recognised at actual amount paid or received, and recorded as “assets purchased under resale agreements” and “assets sold under repurchase agreements” respectively, at transaction dates. Securities, loans and bill purchased under resale agreements are not recognised on the balance sheet. The assets sold subject to repurchase agreements are not derecognised and are recorded on the balance sheet as investment securities and loans and advances to customers.
13 Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments of the Bank include long-term equity investments to subsidiary, joint venture associate and other investments where the Bank does not have control, joint control or significant influence over the investees, and which are not quoted in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Subsidiary is the entity over which the Bank has control. Joint ventures is the entity which the Bank has a contractual arrangement with one or more parties to joint control. Associate is the entity which the Bank has significant influence on its financial and
87 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
operating policy decisions.
Investment in the subsidiary is measured using the cost method in the Bank’s financial statements, and adjusted using the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Bank uses the equity method for accounting investment in associate and joint venture. For the long-term equity investments which the Bank does not exercise control, joint control or significant influences over the investees, and which are not quoted in the active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are accounted for using the cost method.
(a) Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
Under the cost method, long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. Cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee shall be recognised as investment income in current period.
Under the equity method, if the initial investment cost exceeds the Group’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall not be adjusted. Where the initial cost of a long-term equity investment is less than the Bank’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets, the difference is charged to profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. The Group recognises the investment income based on its share of net profit or loss of the investee and makes appropriate adjustments to the share of the investee’s profits or loss based on the identifiable net assets at acquisition. The investee’s net loss incurred is recognized until the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment is reduced to zero.For changes in owners’ equity of the associate other than those arising from its net profit or loss, the Bank records directly in capital surplus its proportion. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit or cash dividends declared by the associate.
(b) Basis to determine “Control”, “Joint Control” or “Significant Influence”
Control is the power to govern the financial and operating polices of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The potential voting rights including currently exercisable convertible bonds and share warrants are considered when assessing whether an entity controls another entity.
Joint Control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.
Significant Influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not Control or Joint Control together with other parties over the formulation of these policies.
(c) Impairment of long-term equity investment
For long-term equity investment in subsidiary, joint venture, and associated, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value of long- term equity investment less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the investments. For the impairment of long-term equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market or whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, the impairment amount is the difference between the carrying value and the estimated future cash flow which was calculated by the similar market yield rate. The recognised impairment loss cannot be reversed.
The Bank’s investment in joint venture includes goodwill which represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units, which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the result of impairment testing indicated that the recoverable amount of the unit or groups of units including goodwill allocated is below than the carrying value, the impairment loss should be recognised.
14 Investment properties
Investment properties refer to the real estates that have already been rented or held for renting, are initially measured at its cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for investment properties are included in the cost of the investment properties when meeting the recognition criteria for assets such as the economic benefits relating to the investment properties are likely to flow into the Group and
88 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
the expenditures can be reliably measured, otherwise the expenditures are included in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Investment properties are subsequently measured using the cost model, and are depreciated on a straight line basis to the estimated net residual rate over their estimated useful life. The expected useful life ranges from 20 to 30 years, and estimated net residual rate is 5%.
The estimated useful life, the estimated net residual value and the depreciation method applied to the investment properties are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at least at each balance sheet date.
When the recoverable value of the investment properties is lower than the carrying value, the carrying value is deducted to the recoverable value.
15 Fixed assets
(1) Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets
Fixed assets include buildings, office equipments and motor vehicles.
The fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed assets will flow to the Group and its cost can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or newly constructed are initially measured at cost.
Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow to the Group and its cost can be reliably measured. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
(2) Depreciation of fixed assets
Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For fixed assets being provided for impairment losses, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.
The expected useful life of fixed assets, the net residual rate and depreciation rate are as follows:
Estimated useful life Estimated net residual rate Annual depreciation rate
Buildings 20-30 years 5% 3.17% to 4.75%
Office equipment 5-10 years 5% 9.50% to 19.0%
Motor vehicles 5 years 5% 19%
The estimated useful life, the estimated net residual value and the depreciation method applied to the fixed asset are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each balance sheet date.
A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in income statement in “non-operating income” or “non-operating expense”.
The book value of fixed asset is written down to recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.
(3) Construction in progress
Construction in progress is stated at cost. The cost comprises construction cost, installation cost, interest expenses from financing and other costs which make the project ready for use.
Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when it is ready for the intended use, and the depreciation will be provided for
89 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
from the following month.
The book value of construction in progress is written down to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.
16 Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses include improvements of operating leased fixed assets, expenditures which have been paid and with an amortisation life of more than one year. They are amortised evenly on the straight-line basis over the beneficiary period, and carried at expenditure paid less amortisation.
17 Foreclosed assets
Foreclosed assets are initially recognised at fair value when settling loans and receivables or interest receivables. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of foreclosed assets are included in their initial recognition amounts. When there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a foreclose asset is lower than the book value, the Group writes down the book value to its recoverable amount.
18 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group tests for impairment on fixed assets, construction in progress, investment properties, etc, when any impairment indicator exists at balance sheet date. When the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is included in income statement as impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the assets. Impairment of assets is determined on an individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.
Once an impairment loss is recognised, it shall not be reversed in the subsequent periods.
19 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified into two categories when acquired: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities.
-financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading, and the designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Derivative financial liabilities are classified as trading financial liabilities. These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value on the transaction date and subsequently measured at fair value as well. Transaction expenses are recognised in income statement on transaction date. The profit or loss attributed by fair value changes (except accrued interest expense) is recorded in “Gains or losses on fair value changes” in the income statement. The accrued interest is recorded in “Interest expense” in income statement.
-Other financial liabilities including due to banks and other financial institutions, placements from other banks, assets sold under repurchase agreements, customer deposits, debt securities in issue etc. These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction expense that are directly attributable to acquisition of financial liabilities, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
The Group fully or partially derecognises the financial liabilities when the obligations are fully or partially released. The difference between the carrying value and the consideration paid is recorded into income statement.
20 Employee benefits
(1) Employee compensation
Employee compensation mainly includes wages or salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, social security benefits, housing funds, labour union funds, employee education funds and other expenditures incurred in exchange for services rendered by employees.
90 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
Employee compensation is recognised in “general and administrative expenses” in the income statement in the accounting period in which an employee has rendered service.
(2) Staff social security benefits
The Group participates in employee social security plans, including pension, medical, housing and other social welfare benefits, organised and administered by the government authorities.
In accordance with relevant regulations and contracts, the premiums and the housing benefits contributions are calculated based on percentages of the total salary of employees, subject to certain ceilings, and are paid to the human resources and social security authorities, the related costs are recognised as “general and administrative expenses” in income statement when incurred.
(3) Retirement benefit obligations
The Group pays supplemental retirement benefits to retired employees and employees who have accepted an early retirement arrangement. The supplemental retirement benefits include supplemental pension payments and medical expense coverage.
The liability related to the above retirement benefit obligation is calculated by using assumptions and recorded as a liability under “salary and welfare payable” in the balance sheet. These assumptions include discount rates, pension benefit inflation rates, medical benefit inflation rates, and other factors. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are recognised as “general and administrative expenses” in income statement.
21 Dividends distribution
The cash dividends are recognised as liability as per the resolution of the meeting of the Board of Directors.
22 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount (temporary differences). The deductible losses that can be carried forward to deduct the taxable profit in subsequent years in accordance with the tax law are regarded as the temporary difference and for which a deferred tax asset is recognised. For the deductible temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss), the resulting deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are not recognised. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred 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.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that the Group’s future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences in all cases unless that the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary, joint venture and associate, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary, joint venture and associate will reverse in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented as the net amount after offsetting if, and only if, certain conditions are satisfied include:
-Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is associated with the income tax that collected from the same tax payers in the Group by the same tax collection authorities;
-The Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.
91 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
23 Leases
Leases where the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases.
(a) Operating lease
The rental expense for operating leases is charged in “General administrative expenses” in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(b) Finance lease
The leased assets are capitalised initially at the fair value of the asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the book value and the minimum lease payments is recorded as unrecognised financing charge, and should be amortised to each period during the lease term, by using an interest rate which reflects a constant rate of return. The difference between the minimum payments and the unrecognised financing charge is recorded as long term payables.
24 Provision
A present obligation related to contingencies such as outstanding litigation and onerous contracts is recognised as provision when it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money shall be taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of an allowance for impairment losses.
The carrying amount of provision is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimation.
25 Interest income and expenses
Interest income and expenses for all interest-bearing financial instruments, except derivatives, are recognised within “interest income” and “interest expense” in income statement using the effective interest method. Interest income and expense for derivatives is recognised as “gains or losses on investments” in income statement.
The effective interest rate method is a method for calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all amount paid or received by the Group that are an integral part of effective interest rate, including transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss
26 Fees and commission income and expenses
Fees and commission income and expenses are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided.
27 Fiduciary activities
The Group commonly acts as a trustee, which results in its holding or placing assets on behalf of retail customers, trusts and other institutions. These assets are not included in the statement of financial position of the Group, as they are not assets of the Group.
Entrusted loans are those funded by Group’s customers (the principals) who also assume the risks of the loans, and disbursed by the Group as the agent (the trustee) in accordance with the conditions specified by the principals with regard to the potential borrowers, purposes, amounts, tenors and interest rates and collected by the Group. The risk of loss is borne by the principals.
92 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
The Group charges a commission related to its activities in connection with the entrusted loans, but not make advances or bear credit risks.
28 Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other bodies to secure customer loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities.
Financial guarantees are initially recognised at fair value on the date the guarantee was given. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of the initial measurement less amortization calculated and the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising at the financial reporting date. Any increase in the liability relating to guarantees is taken to the income statement. These estimates are determined based on experience of similar transactions, historical losses and by the judgment of management.
29 Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past transactions or events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future or events, or is a present obligation arising from past transactions or events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
30 Segment reporting
The Group identifies business segments on the basis of its internal organisational structure, management requirement, and internal reporting system, and then the Group identifies the reporting segments and discloses segmental information based on business segments.
An operating segment is a component of the Group:(1) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (2) whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information, including financial position, operating results and cash flow, is available. If two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics, and satisfy certain conditions, they are aggregated into a single operating segment.
(II) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Areas susceptible to changes in essential estimates and judgments, which affect the carrying value of assets and liabilities, are set out below. It is impracticable to determine the effect of changes to either the key assumptions discussed below or other estimation uncertainties. It is possible that actual results may be materially different from the estimates and judgments referred below.
1 Impairment allowance for loans and receivables
In addition to evaluating the impairment losses for the identified impaired loans individually, the Group also evaluates the impairment losses of the credit portfolios periodically. For loans portfolios the cash flows of which are not found to be decreased in the individual test, the Group makes judgements as to whether there are any indicators that there is decrease in estimated future cash flows and determine whether to provide loan impairment allowance. The indications that result in the decrease of the cash flow include: the deterioration of ability of payment of the borrowers in the portfolio, the default of the borrowers because of the deterioration of the economic environment and so on. Based on historical loss experience for assets portfolio with similar credit risk characteristics, the Group conducts impairment estimates for the loans portfolio with impairment indications. The Group evaluates the methodologies and assumptions periodically, which used for estimating the time and amount of future cash flows, to reduce any difference between estimated losses and actual losses.
93 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
2 Fair value of financial instrument
The Group uses valuation model techniques for the fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets. Valuation techniques only use observable data as much as possible. However, areas such as credit risks (including both the business parties), volatilities of market interest rate and correlations require management to evaluate. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the valuation for the fair value of financial instruments.
3 Classification of financial instruments
The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities as held to maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity.
4 Retirement benefit obligations
The Group has established liabilities in connection with benefits payable to certain retired and early retired employees. The amounts of employee benefit expense and these liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, pension benefit inflation rates, medical benefit inflation rates, and other factors. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are recognised immediately in expense when occurred. Management believes that its assumptions are appropriate, while differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the Group’s expense related to its employee retirement.
5 Income tax
During the ordinary operating activities, the final tax treatments of lots of transactions and matters are uncertain. When accruing the income tax expense, the Group needs to make significant judgment. If the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts initially recorded, such differences will impact the amount of income tax expense and deferred tax in the period in which such determination is made.
V TAXATION
The Group's major applicable taxes, tax rates and taxable bases are as follows:
Tax types Tax rates Taxable basis
Enterprise income tax 25% Taxable income
Business tax 5% Taxable turnover
City construction and maintenance tax 5%-7% Business tax paid
Educational Surcharges 3% Business tax paid

5 Derivative financial assets and liabilities
The Group enters into the following derivative financial instruments for trading, assets and liabilities management and on behalf of customers.
Currency forwards are commitments to purchase or sell foreign currencies on a future date, including undelivered spot transactions.
Currency swaps transactions are commitments between two parties, to exchange specified amounts of the principles and interests of two currencies.
Interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another. Swaps result in an economic exchange of interest rates (for example, fixed rate for floating rate). No exchange of principal takes place.
Credit default swaps are commitments between two parties, the buyer regularly pay a certain fee to the seller (credit default swap spread), once a credit issue occurs (e.g. the bond issuer is unable to liquidate), the buyer is entitled to apply for the creditor’s rights, and then efficiently avoid the credit risk.
Other derivatives include credit default options, price index options, early redemption options and forward agreement.
The notional/contractual amounts of certain types of derivative financial instruments provide a basis for comparison with fair value recognised on the balance sheet, but do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair value of the instruments and, therefore, do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or market risks. The derivative instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates or stock and futures prices relative to their terms. The effect can fluctuate significantly from time to time.
The outstanding notional/contractual amounts and fair values of the derivative financial instruments held by the Bank are set out as follows:

Pursuant to the circular issued by CSRC, “Information Disclosure No. 9 of Public Offering Securities – the Calculation and Disclosure of Return on Equity and the Earnings Per Share” (CSRC [2007] No. 9), earnings per share and return on equity are calculated as follows:
(1) Earnings per share
Earnings per share were computed by dividing the profit attributable to the equity holders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
2010 Consolidated 2009 Consolidated
Net profit attributable to the equity holders the Bank 6,803,030 5,633,859
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 6,227,562 6,227,562 outstanding (In thousand shares)
Earnings per share (Yuan per share) 1.09 0.90
Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing the adjusted profit attributable to the equity holders of the Bank based on conversion of all potential dilutive share for the year by the adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue. During the year of 2009 and 2010, the Bank did not have diluted shares, therefore diluted earnings per share was equal to earnings per share.

XI FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Overview of financial risk management
The Group extensively used financial instruments in its operating activities. The Group accepts deposits from customers at both fixed and floating rates for various periods, and seeks to earn above-average interest margins by investing these funds in high quality assets. The Group seeks to increase these margins by lending short-term funds to long term loans at higher rates whilst maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due. The Group operates its business in China mainland under an interest rate scheme regulated by PBOC.
The Group also seeks to raise its interest margins by obtaining above-average margins through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit standing. Such exposures involve not only on-balance sheet loans and advances to customers, but also guarantees and other commitments, such as letters of credit, guarantees, and acceptances.
The Group faces various financial risks during its operating activities, mainly including credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. In managing its risks, the Group focuses on the identification, measurement, monitoring and control of various risks, and complies with the requirements of the regulatory authorities, depositors and other stakeholders.
The Board of Directors is the supreme decision-making institution for the risk management of the Group, which is responsible for determining the credit risk appetite and risk tolerance of the Group. The Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors is authorised to approve the risk management strategies, policies and procedures. Senior management of the Group authorised the Credit Risk Committee, the Credit Risk Policies Committee, the Assets and Liabilities Committee and the Operation Risk Committee, which are respectively responsible for the controlling on the credit risk, market risk and operation risk and the approval of related policies and procedures. Besides, in accordance with the requirements of overall risk management, the Group has set up several risk management departments to implement different risk management functions, including the Credit Risk Departments, the Credit Approval Department, the Legislation and Compliance Department and Market Risk Office, to enhance the combined management ability covering the three risks.

2. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that counterparty may not meet its obligations according to the original contractual terms of its facility with the Group. Credit risk is the greatest risk connected to the Group’s operating activities, and the management manages its credit risk exposure in line with prudent principles. The credit risks faced by the Group mainly arising from its loan portfolio, investment portfolio, trade finance, guarantees and other payment commitments.
The Risk Management Committee determines, coordinates and arranges the procedures to avoid the credit risk of the Group, and manages credit risk by professional methods and procedures in credit approval, centralized monitoring, centralized operation and settlement of non-performing assets and so on. The credit risk management functions of the Group comprise the following hierarchies: the overall credit risk control is implemented by the Credit Risk Management Department of the Head Office in collaboration with risk management functional departments of the Head Office including the Credit Approval Department, Post- lending Management Department, Asset and Liability Department and Legislation and Compliance Department; for credit risk- based products and business lines, the Group has set up dedicated functions to address credit risks, including the Credit Approval Department, Small and Middle Enterprise Centre, Retail Loan Centre, Vouchers and Certificates Centre and other professional institutions; where appropriate, the Group also sets up regional risk management departments or branch risk management departments to manage the credit risks in their respective jurisdiction.
(1) Credit risk measurement a. Loans and advances to customers
Monitoring and measurement of credit risk over loans and advances and off-balance sheet credit related exposures is performed by the Risk Management Department, and reported to the senior management and Board of Directors regularly.
The Group measures and manages the credit quality of loans and advances to corporate and personal customers based on the “Guiding Principles on the Classification of Loan Risk Management” issued by the CBRC, which requires Chinese commercial banks to classify their corporate and personal loans into five categories: pass, special-mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, among which loans classified in the substandard, doubtful and loss categories are regarded as non-performing.
Guidelines on risk-based loan classification defines the five grading as follows:
Pass: the borrower can meet its contractual obligations, and there is no doubt on the borrower’s ability to repay the scheduled principal and interest payments in full and on time.
Special mention: although there is no doubt on the borrower’s ability to repay at this point in time, there exist potential indications that may affect its ability to repay in the future.
Sub-standard: the borrower’s repayment ability is apparently in question. It cannot depend on its normal operating revenue to repay in full the principal and interest. Even when the Group executes the guarantee or realises the collateral, there is possibility of some loss.
Doubtful: the borrower cannot repay the principal and interest in full. Even when the Group executes the guarantee or realises the collateral, there is possibility of substantial loss.
Loss: after exhausting all possible means of recovery actions or taking the necessary legal actions, there is still no recovery of principal and interest, or the recovery is negligible. b. Debt securities and other bills
The Credit Risk Committee of the Group sets credit limits for every customer in its treasury transactions (including counterparties, debt issuers, etc.). Debt securities are converted to utilised credit limit using a conversion coefficient that matches the maturity and rating of the debt securities, while derivative financial instruments are converted to utilised credit limit using a conversion coefficient that matches the risk factors and maturities of the derivative financial instruments. The Treasury Department engages in debt securities and derivative financial instruments transactions within these limits.
134 Notes to the Financial Statements
All amounts expressed in Rmb’000 unless otherwise stated [English translation for reference only]
Debt securities in foreign currencies include mainly sovereign bonds issued overseas by the Chinese government or bonds issued overseas by quasi-sovereign issuers, such as Chinese policy banks, sovereign bonds in major convertible currencies issued by countries with a sovereign rating of AA- and above or quasi-sovereign bonds issued by quasi-sovereign issuers, including the government agencies of these countries, and bonds with a rating of A and above issued by financial institutions.
Rmb debt securities include mainly treasury bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance, notes issued by PBOC in open markets, financial bonds issued by Chinese policy related banks, and bonds issued by other debt issuers who meet relevant regulatory requirements and basic conditions prescribed by the Group.
(2) Risk limit management and risk mitigation measures
The Group controls its credit risks mainly through establishing and implementing strict investigation, review and approval and loan origination and placement procedures for its lending activities, regular analysis of the ability to repay interests and principals of its existing and potential customers, appropriate adjustments of credit limits, and creating and applying risk control measures in a timely manner. In addition, the Group acquires collaterals and guarantees to help manage its credit risks.
Credit risk limit management a. Loans and advances to customers
The Group has developed its guidelines for credit risk limit management, defining the credit risk limits for individual customers, single group customer, regions and industries and the parties responsible for monitoring and managing credit risk limits. The credit limit management guidelines have been approved by the Risk Management Committee for implementation, and operations in excess of credit limits must be reported to the Presidents’ meeting or the Risk Management Committee for approval before they can be engaged.
On the basis of the regulatory indicators and the risk concentration indicators prescribed in its credit policies, the Group analyses on a regular basis the compliance with relevant risk limits, reports the results on a monthly basis to the senior management and on a quarterly basis to the Risk Management Committee and regulatory authorities, and discloses relevant information to the public on a regular basis in compliance with the information disclosure policies and regulatory information disclosure requirements. b. Bond investments
The Group sets limits for its debt securities portfolio, issuers and single issue of debt securities so as to manage credit risks on debt securities on a portfolio basis.
Risk mitigation measures a. Guarantee and collaterals
The Group requires guarantee from borrowers as a measure for risk mitigation based on the level of credit risk involved. Collaterals are widely used as a mean of guarantee in the Group’s credit facilities. Collaterals acceptable to the Group include mainly marketable securities, debt securities, equity shares, real estate properties, land use rights, machinery and equipment, transportation vehicles, etc.
The Group appoints professional intermediaries to assess the value of the collaterals, and uses the assessment report from professional intermediaries to support its decision-making during the review process. In the Group, the Credit Risk Management Committee and other authorised review and approval bodies at the Head Office are responsible for validating the assessment results and making final decisions on the collateral rates for the Group’s lending activities.
After granting the credit facilities, the Group requires dynamic understating and updated knowledge of the ownership, status, amount, market value and realisable value of collaterals, and post-lending management of collaterals at least on a quarterly basis. At the same time, the Group begins to arrange re-assessment of collaterals on an annual basis. If a loan becomes impaired, the value of collaterals shall be considered to determine whether additional collaterals or collaterals with higher reliability should be provided by the borrower.
135 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
For loans secured with guarantee from third parties, the Group applies the same procedures and standards applicable to the borrowers to assess the guarantor’s financial position, credit records and ability to meet its obligations.
For financial assets other than investment securities classified as receivables, the collaterals shall depend on the types of financial instruments. Debt securities are generally not secured with collaterals, while asset-backed securities are generally secured by a pool of financial assets. b. Master netting arrangements
The Group further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties with which it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master netting arrangements do not generally result in an offset of balance sheet assets and liabilities, as transactions are usually settled on a gross basis. However, the credit risk associated with favourable contracts is reduced by a master netting arrangement to the extent that if a default occurs, all amounts with the customer are terminated and settled on a net basis. c. Credit commitments
The main objective of credit commitments is to ensure that customers get the funds they need. The Group makes irrevocable guarantee when it issues letters of guarantee and letters of credit, i.e. the Group shall make repayments on behalf of the customer if the customer cannot meet its repayment obligations to a third party, and the Group assumes the same credit risks as those of a loan. In certain circumstances, the Group receives margin deposit to reduce the credit risk involved in providing this service. The margin deposit is collected at a certain percentage of the committed amount based on the credibility of the customer.
(3) Impairment analysis on credit assets and the provision policies
According to the Group’s accounting policies, if objective evidence indicates a decrease of expected future cash flow from a loan and that such decrease can be estimated, the Group recognises an impairment loss on the loan and accordingly accrues impairment loss provisions.
The criteria for objective evidence used by the Group to determine impairment includes: · Default or delinquency in repayment of interests or principals; · Financial difficulty of the borrower (e.g. deterioration of indicators, including equity ratio, the ratio of net profit against income); · Breach of loan covenants or conditions; · Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings; · Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position; · Downgrading to below investment grade level. The Group reviews at least once every quarter the quality of individually significant financial assets. For assets whose allowance is provided individually, the Group assesses the loss of each of such assets at the balance sheet date to determine the amount of provision. During the assessment, the Group usually considers the value of the collaterals for and future cash flows from these assets.
The Group provides allowance for the following asset portfolios based on historical data, empirical judgment and statistical techniques: (1) group of individually insignificant assets with similar credit risk characteristics; (2) unidentified impaired assets.
(4) Maximum risk exposure
The following shows the Group and the Bank’s maximum credit risk exposures on the balance sheet as of 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009 without any consideration of collaterals, guarantees or other credit mitigation measures. For on-balance sheet financial assets, the credit risk exposure is their carrying values at the balance sheet date.

(8) Credit concentration risk on financial assets
Geographical concentration
As at 31 December 2010 and 2009, the majority of the financial assets, financial guarantee, and relevant credit commitments held by the Group were based in mainland China. Please refer to Notes VII 8 for the geographical concentration analysis of loans and advances to customers.
Industrial concentration
As at 31 December 2010 and 2009, the major assets of the Group comprised loans (including loans and advances to customers) and securities investments (including trading assets, available-for-sale financial assets, investment securities classified as receivables and held-to-maturity investments). Please refer to Notes VII for the industrial concentration risk analysis of these financial assets.
3. Market risk
Market risk refers to the potential loss in both on or off-balance sheet caused by market prices (interest rates, exchange rates, stock prices) adverse changes.
The Group's business is divided into trading accounts and bank accounts. Trading accounts include financial instruments and commodities positions held for trading to avoid market risk. Trading accounts intend to make profit from the short-term price fluctuations. Bank accounts include other assets and liabilities. Risk Management Department fulfils recognition, measurement and monitoring of risk functions. Financial and Planning Department performs interest rate risk identification, measurement and risk monitoring for trading accounts.
(1) Techniques for measuring market risks
The Group established monitoring limitation, position limitation, risk limitation and stop-loss limitation systems to identify, monitor and control the market risk. According to the market condition and technical condition of the trading accounts, the Group established the Value at Risk (“VAR”) method under normal market condition and performed stress testing for the market risk under the extreme circumstance scenario that the various changes in market conditions may occur.
The Group currently uses sensitivity analysis to assess its bank account’s exposure to interest rate and exchange rate risks. The Group calculates on a regular basis the difference (gap) between interest-bearing assets and liabilities which become due within a certain period of time or need to be re-priced, and use the gap data to conduct sensitivity analysis of the Group’s exposure to changes of benchmark rate, market interest rates and exchange rates, in order to support the adjustment of the re-priced maturity structure of interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Group requires the escalation of sensitivity analysis, and the results of sensitivity are regularly summarised and reported to Assets Management Committee and Risk Management Committee for review.
(2) Currency risk
The Group’s majority of business operations are denominated in Rmb, and there is a small amount of business operations denominated in US dollar, Hong Kong dollar and other foreign currencies.
145 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
Changes in foreign exchange rates affect mainly the financial position and cash flows of the Group. Due to the limited volume of business in foreign currencies, foreign currency risks are insignificant to the Group. In controlling currency risks, the Group follows the key principle of maintaining optimal matching between its assets and liabilities in each currency, and monitoring its currency risk exposure on a daily basis.
The following table summarises the distribution of the Group’s and Bank’s financial assets and liabilities exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risks, and the carrying values in foreign currencies of assets, liabilities, financial guarantee and relevant credit commitments have been converted to Rmb.

Interest margins may increase as a result of movements of market interest rates, but may decrease in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Group operates its business predominantly in mainland China under the interest rate scheme regulated by PBOC. PBOC has historically adjusted its benchmark interest rates for loans and deposits in the same direction (though not necessarily by the same magnitude). Therefore, the Group manages its interest rate risks mainly through controlling the maturity structure of its loans and deposits.
According to PBOC regulations, interest rates on loans denominated in Rmb can be above and below the benchmark rates within certain ranges. The discount rates for Rmb notes are determined through market, but cannot be lower than the rediscount rate stipulated by the central bank. The interest rates for Rmb deposits cannot be higher than the benchmark rates of the central bank.
The Group closely monitors the interest trend of Rmb and foreign currencies, and follows the changes of the market rates to make a proper case analysis, and also adjusts the loan and deposit interest rates both in Rmb and foreign currencies to guard against the interest rate risk.
The following table summarises the interest rate risk exposure of the Group. The on-balance sheet assets and liabilities have been classified by the earlier of the contractual repricing date and the maturity date, and financial assets and liability are stated in carrying value.

Based on the above gap analysis on interest rate risks and the assumption of a parallel shifting by 100 bps of the yield curve for each currency, the Group has assessed the potential impact on its net interest income in 2010 as follows:
Net interest gain/ (loss)
2010 2009 Consolidated and the Bank Consolidated and the Bank
Upward shifting of the benchmark yield curve by 100 bps 2,384,784 1,370,905
Downward shifting of the benchmark yield curve by 100 bps (2,384,784) (1,370,905)
The Group makes general assumptions for determining its business conditions and financial parameters in conducting interest rate risk sensitivity testing. However, the following has not been considered:
(i) changes in business operations after the balance sheet date, as the analysis is based on the static gap on the balance sheet date;
(ii) the impact of changes in interest rates on customer behaviours;
(iii) the complex relationship between complex structured products and changes in interest rates;
(iv) the impact of changes in interest rates on off-balance sheet products.

4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to fully meet its payment obligations with sufficient cash flows from its assets and liabilities. The Group is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from call deposit overnight deposits, current accounts, matured time deposits, debt securities in issue, loan draw downs, guarantees and other calls on cash settled derivatives. As experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of matured deposit can be predicted with a high level of certainty. In order to meet unforeseeable funding needs, the Group sets the minimum level of cash resources, and the minimum level of due to banks and other financial institutions and other borrowings.
Besides, according to PBOC’s requirement, the Group sets that the loan-to-deposit ratio should not be higher than 75%. As at 31 December 2010 the Bank was required to maintain 16.5% of its total Rmb denominated deposits and 5% of its foreign currencies denominated deposits with PBOC as statutory reserves.
Maintain the assets and liabilities match the maturity structure, as well as effective control of the management in the difference of matches is paramount to the Group. As the business has an uncertain duration and different categories, banks rarely able to maintain the assets and liabilities items match exactly. The positions which do not match the structure may increase revenue, but also increases the liquidity risk.
(1) Liquidity risk management
The matching of maturity of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace interest-bearing liabilities as they mature at an acceptable cost are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group.
The Group provides guarantees and issues stand-by letters of credit to customers based on their credit and margin deposits at the Group. Liquidity required to support calls under guarantees and stand-by letters of credit is generally less than the amount of the Group’s other commitments, because the Group does not generally expect customers to draw the full amount of guarantees provided by the Group or stand-by letters of credit issued by the Group. In addition, the total outstanding contractual amount of commitments to extend credit does not necessarily represent future cash requirements, since many of these commitments will expire or terminate without being funded.
The Asset and Liability Management Committee defines the Group’s liquidity management strategy and policies. The Financial and Planning Department is responsible for liquidity management, and carries out ongoing monitoring and analysis of liquidity indicators.
The Group adopts a series of liquidity indicators to assess and monitor its liquidity risks, and has systems put in place to support daily, monthly and quarterly liquidity risk reporting so that the Risk Management Committee, Asset and Liability Management Committee, and senior management can be kept updated of the liquidity indicators in a timely manner. The Group performed stress testing for the liquidity risk under the extreme circumstance scenario that the various changes in market conditions may occur.
(2) Funding sources
The Group monitors the funding diversification by focusing on four areas, including the types of creditors, products and instruments, market conditions and large customer funding concentration.
(3) Cash flow analysis on non-derivative financial instruments
The following table presents the cash flows from financial assets and liabilities other than derivative financial instruments by their remaining maturities. Remaining maturities refer to period from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date; the amounts of financial liabilities for the time intervals are contractual undiscounted cash flows; the amounts of financial assets for the time intervals are cash flows expected to be received.

Loans and advances to customers and investment securities classified as receivables are stated net of allowance for impairment, and their estimated fair value is the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate. b. Held-to-maturity investment
The fair value of the held-to-maturity investment is based on quoted prices from the market or traders. If the relevant information is not available, the fair value is determined by the quoted prices of securities which have similar credit risk, maturity and rate of return. c. Customers deposits
The fair value of the checking account, savings account and short-term money market deposit is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. For fixed rate deposits without quoted market prices, their fair value is based on the discounted cash flow model using the current interest rates for fixed rate deposits with similar remaining maturities. d. Bonds issued
The fair value of bonds issued is determined with reference to quoted market prices. In the absence of quoted market prices, their fair value is calculated based on the discounted cash flow model using the current market interest rates for similar debt securities with similar remaining maturities.
(2) Financial instruments measured at fair value
Financial instruments measured at fair value are divided into the following three levels. The Group uses valuation techniques or counterparty quotations to determine the fair value of financial instruments when unable to obtain the open market quotation in active markets.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, including securities traded on exchanges or certain governments bonds.
Level 2: Valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, includes majority of the OTC derivative contracts and debt securities for which quotations are available from pricing services providers or website of China Government Securities Depositing Trust & Clearing Co., Ltd. (herein after as “China Bond”) (including valuation and settle price from China Bond).
Level 3: Valuation technique using inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) mainly include OTC structured derivative financial products.
163 Notes to the Financial Statements
#BOLPG#FJKJOH"OOVBM3FQPSU
The main parameters used in valuation techniques for financial instruments held by the Group include bond prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatilities, correlation and others, which are all observable and obtainable from open market.
The financial instruments classified into level 3 mainly include OTC structured derivatives transactions held by the Group. The Group has established internal control procedures to control the Group’s exposure to such financial instruments.

On the basis of comprehensive consideration of the regulatory indicators, average level across the industry, the Group’s growth rate, timing of capital addition, and the objective to maintain stable increase of the return on net asset, the Group determines an appropriate target interval for managing its capital adequacy ratio, which is no less than the regulatory requirement.
The Group calculates and discloses its capital adequacy ratio in accordance with the “Administrative Measures for Capital Adequacy Ratio of Commercial Groups” promulgated by CBRC.
