To expand channels for fund raising, the Bank was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on December 23, 1983 and transformed into a public limited company in 1994.

Thai Military Bank Plc., DBS Thai Danu Bank Plc. and the Industrial Finance Corporation of Thailand legally merged into TMB Bank Plc. on September 1, 2004. This merger has enabled the Bank to operate as universal banking, with total asset of about Baht 602 billion as of December 31, 2008.

Throughout all its years of operation, the Bank has focused on quality improvement and expanding its scope of services to boost its operational efficiency to international standards. Foreign consultants were hired to build up the fundamentals for a strong retail banking service platform and a sound risk management system. TBM also underwent an organizational restructure to expand its product development capability and distribution channels. A Risk Management Unit and Corporate Governance and Compliance Unit were established, along with the implementation of a core banking service system development project to enhance service levels.

In December 2007, TMB underwent a share capital increase of Baht 37,622 million by forming a new business partnership with ING Group, a leading financial institution from the Netherlands. After recapitalization, the Ministry of Finance held 26.1% and ING Group held 25.2% of the entire issued and offered shares of the Bank. ING Group also held NVDRs (Non-Voting Depository Receipts) representing rights to TBM’s securities and/ or ordinary shares for 4.92% of the entire issued and offered shares of the Bank.

Significant changes and developments in 2008 There were many significant changes and developments at TMB during 2008. After the recapitalization,

the Bank’s management was restructured to increase the flexibility and suitability of TMB’s administration. The Bank appointed a new chairperson of the Board of Directors, a new chairperson of the Audit Committee and

a new chairperson of the Board of Executive Directors. The committees of the boards were restructured with an

48 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 objective to oversee the Bank’s operations more efficiently. In addition, the Bank recruited a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), replaced top management with experienced executives including ING experts seconded to TMB, restructured its organization, and reviewed its vision and business operation strategy. The Bank also received solid support from ING Group.

The significant changes are as follows:

TMB segregates the business activities of its group members in accordance with the Bank of Thailand’s consolidated supervision regulation, which calls for a bank’s setting up of a financial business group. The financial business group consists of member companies divided into two categories, based on the bank’s ownership portion and type of business, as follows:

1. Solo consolidation comprising subsidiary companies serving as credit institution in which the bank owns 75% or more of the individual companies’ issued and paid-up shares, and with its management under supervision of the bank. 2. Non-Solo consolidation comprising companies engaging in the financial business and businesses supporting the bank’s operations, as follows:

• Financial business group consisting of subsidiary companies conducting financial business in which the bank owns 50% or more of the individual companies’ issued and paid-up shares, including affiliated companies engaged in credit provision in which the bank holds between 50% and 75% of the issued and paid-up shares. • Supporting business group consisting of subsidiary companies conducting businesses that support the bank’s operations in which the bank holds 50% or more of the individual companies’ issued and paid-up shares.

Commercial banks in Thailand are not allowed to own more than 10% of any other company without the specific consent of the Bank of Thailand (BoT). Under the BoT’s Consolidated Supervision Policy, TMB applied for and on September 30, 2008, obtained approval from the BoT to establish a financial business group. TMB intends to hold and invest in those companies with a view to enabling the Bank to render a universal banking service to its customers. As for other subsidiaries whose businesses are not related to the financial business group and hold more than 10%, TMB will gradually divest its investments when the price is reasonable but within the time limit for the holding set by the BoT.

• Loan Syndication TMB has developed significant syndication capabilities while structuring and arranging large corporate and project finance transactions.

SME Banking Group

The development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is a key strategy to stimulate the Thai economy while government and the private sector are focusing on encouraging the growth of SME businesses. TMB has been aware and always supported SME business as they are major area of business and key revenue generating base for the bank.

As of December 31, 2008, SME credit outstanding constituted Baht 165,459 million, representing 39% of TMB’s total loan portfolio. To concentrate more on SME banking, TMB established SME Banking Group in 2008 to gain a better understanding of SME customer needs and behaviors to be able to provide them with more relevant and targeted products and services.

60 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 TMB classifies the SME market into two segments by sales volume. • Small Enterprise is defined by annual sales volume not exceeding Baht 50 million. • Medium Enterprise is defined by annual sales volume of over Baht 50 million but not exceeding Baht 500 million.

In 2009, the Bank will concentrate on expanding its SME customer base and increasing revenue from new and existing SME customers. TMB aims to be on of the top-ranking brands in SME customers’ minds by efficiently supporting their day-to-day business operations with packaged financial products and services that matched their needs and are tailored to the unique requirements of a small business.

To strengthen customer relationships, TMB is focusing on a deeper understanding of customer to define customer behaviors and needs in greater detail. This will allow TMB to develop products and services that really suit SME customer needs while reducing cost for the Bank and building a loyal, long-term customer base. TMB plans to offer both transaction related and credit packages together with value-added services in form of a completed, customer-tailored package. For existing customers, - The Bank will increase the number of main operating accounts for existing customers by increasing the number of financial transactions, while attracting new customers by offering trial programs. TMB will provide a variety of credit programs that are specifically designed for each sub-segment. The key element to acquire new customers and retain existing customers is a streamlined and improved credit process that is more predictable and reliable. By creating a new standard of service for TMB’s SME Banking Group, the Bank will be able to build a quality portfolio.

Dedicated Relationship Managers offer SME customers rapid financial and advisory services, supported by a SME zone office. TMB has established 37 SME zone offices throughout the country to get closer to SME customers. In 2009, the Bank will set up six SME Regional offices and expand the network to 50 SME Zone offices with 700 member of the Relationship Management team ready to serve SME customers in all areas.

TMB’s branch network is a key channel for SME customers in terms of regular contact and transaction services. The Bank will serve its SME customers through the 470 branches currently operating nationwide.

To further develop its SME business in Thailand, TMB will co-operate with government departments to conduct training courses for new entrepreneurs. The Bank considers this a social responsibility program, as it will help increase SME competitiveness and enable them to sustain their business over the long term. Some of the key projects under this initiative are:

• New Entrepreneurs Creation (NEC) in cooperation with Department of Industrial Promotion, Ministry of Industry. During the last six years this program has run, The Bank has given knowledge to more than 2,800 new entrepreneurs all over the country.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 61 • Young Investor Program (YIP), a course which targets senior students who aim to be entrepreneurs. More than 2,500 students have graduate from this program.

In recent years, TMB has contributed to social responsibility by coordinating with partners including government departments, state enterprises, and NGOs through various projects and activities related to environmental protection such as:-

• Ozone Project Trust Fund (OTF): The World Bank provides funding to SMEs to adjust or change their air conditioning systems to reduce the impact on earth’s ozone layer. TMB manages the project and has coordinated program implementation with over 4,000 SME businesses.

• Partnership Facility Program (PFP): In cooperation with the Danish Embassy, TMB manages the project and gives consultation to business to help them protect environment or reduce energy consumption through initiatives such as bio mass absorption chillers and energy saving houses.

In 2009, the bank will continue giving back to society by encouraging SMEs to run their businesses in an environmentally-responsible way by supporting them with knowledge, finance, and technology.

Retail Banking Group

TMB has defined its vision to be “the leading Thai bank with world class financial solutions” and is undergoing corporate transformation under a strategy of “Customer Centricity the TMB Way.” For its Retail Banking Group, TMB has introduced an array of deposit and financial products such as home loans, personal loans, welfare loans, and credit card loans.

In addition, TMB has organized ongoing marketing and sales promotion campaigns to strengthen relationships with existing customers and acquire new ones.

To respond to the true needs of customers and ensure the highest degree of satisfaction, the Bank’s customer segmentation approach has divided Retail Banking customers into three major groups: Affluent, Middle Income, and Mass.

These products are delivered directly to customers through the Bank’s branch network. For home loans, the Bank has developed secured loans and adopted strategies to satisfy all categories of customers who want to have their own home. These strategies include an offer of interest rates that match customer demands, a longer repayment term, faster service, a larger sales force, and special privileges granted upon credit approval and utilization.

The Bank charges special interest rates based on each type of home loans, consisting of the TMB Easy Home Loan which is intended for general housing estate projects and the TMB Premier Home Loan which is for projects by SET-listed developers and projects financially supported by the Bank. The interest rates are also classified by the type of properties, whether a land and house or a condominium.

Once they have maintained a loan account, they can open a savings account that is entitled to a higher-than-usual interest rate. Also, by using our direct debit service for public utilities bill payment, customers will also receive a higher-than-usual interest rate on their savings.

The Bank has developed unsecured personal loan products such as TMB Ready Cash, TMB Cash-2-Go and TMB Balance Transfer. Sales campaigns for these products have been launched continually to diversify into a new customer base while retaining the existing one. To boost its loan portfolio, the Bank will expand credit lines for customers with good payment records and offers welfare loans to employees of state enterprises, government agencies and private entities that used its payroll service. TMB has offered international credit and debit cards to its customers in association with Visa and MasterCard, and also issued TMB FIT Platinum Cards for upper- middle income consumers, TMB Top Brass Cards to high-ranking military officers and TMB G Cards to government agency officials. This will help to build up good relationships with public sector agencies and individual customers, increasing credit card loyalty.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 73 • Policy on funding and pricing TMB has a policy to mobilize funds from the sources mentioned above with the amount and tenor that is closest aligned to its requirements. Other factors taken into account are proper liquidity for the Bank’s operation and comparison of funding costs from various sources.

• Policy on liability management TMB has adopted a policy to manage its liabilities to match with the assets or customers’ demands for loans. In order to hedge against both interest rate and FX risks, various financial instruments such as FX swaps, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps are applied with an aim to implement this policy efficiently, which constitutes the alignment of the Bank’s cash inflow and outflow. As of December 31, 2008, outstanding swaps and derivatives were approximately USD 270 million for long term and USD 95 million for short term.

Credit extension

• Credit Risk Management Lending can expose TMB’s earnings and capital to credit risk. Effective management of the portfolio and credit functions is crucial to the Bank’s safety and soundness. Credit portfolio management is a process by which risks that are inherent in the credit processes are managed and controlled. The Bank ensures that credit portfolio is well diversified and generates the required risk-adjusted return. TMB’s core credit risk principles are as follows:

Credit Portfolio Management The Bank strategically formulates composition of its credit portfolio and sets limits to cap concentration risk at an acceptable level.

Checks and Balances TMB has established Credit Delegation of Authority to segregate the duties of a recommending authority from an approving authority. Credit approval may not be given at the sole discretion of any one bank officials.

Sound Credit Granting Operational procedures are set out in writing with sufficient details to provide guidance to staff throughout the credit process.

74 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Standard for Professionalism The Bank ensures that staff who are involved in the credit process comply with all applicable policies, appropriate laws and regulations, and the Bank’s code of conducts.

Monitoring and Control Adequate reporting standards are defined to monitor and maintain effectiveness of credit portfolio management.

• Credit Risk Policies The credit risk policies are developed with a clearly-defined guideline under the common framework and standard documentation requirement, as follows:

Core Credit Risk Policy: The policy provides guidance on sound practices in credit risk management and ensures that the Bank formulates all supplementary credit policies, processes, and procedures under common principles and standards.

Single Exposure Limit Policy: The policy provides guidance to business units to prudently manage the growth of portfolios in a manner that is adequately diversified.

Country Risk Management Policy: The policy sets out operational guidelines to establish country exposure limits to ensure appropriate diversification of the portfolio and avoid concentration of country risk.

Industry Concentration Framework: The policy provides guidance to establish a bank-wide industry concentration limit structure to protect the Bank from excessive credit risk exposure to any major industry sectors or sub-sectors.

Core Credit Risk Policy on Conflict of Interest: The policy supplements the Bank’s code of conduct by outlining specific policies on conflict of interest that could arise in the course of TMB’s lending activities.

Core Retail Credit Risk Policy: The policy is established to highlight additional minimum requirements and standards for retail credit. This policy is an annex of the Core Credit Risk Policy.

Collective Provision for Loan Portfolio Policy: The policy sets out a consistent framework for collective provisioning for the Bank’s credit portfolio to minimize impacts from unexpected events or changes.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 75 Credit Quality Review Policy: The policy outlines the scope of credit quality review function, which is an independent assessment of all aspects of credit risk exposure.

Credit Risk Mitigation Policy: The policy provides guidance in credit risk mitigation practices to reduce or transfer credit risk to which the Bank is exposed. This policy is an annex of the Core Credit Risk Policy.

• Credit Policies TMB has implemented a policy on credit extension covering corporate loans, SME loans and consumer loans. The loans are not provided for businesses that are against the law and the code of ethics.

This policy covers the following:

1. As a basis for the Bank’s operations, policies and customer qualifications are set out according to risk levels, divided into three groups-credit that is prohibited/suspended, credit that is discouraged, and credit requiring special attention. 2. Credit portfolio management is carried out to prevent the concentration of the credit extension, for example, to any particular industrial/business sector or group of borrowers. To ensure a check and balance in the approval process, the Bank clearly separates the roles and duties of the business relationship management unit, credit risk analysis unit and parties with approval authority. 3. The working procedures and practices of credit analysis are set out in writing to provide officials with guidelines for customer screening, customer payment ability analysis, risk analysis, collateral consideration, and risk mitigation through financial covenants.

TMB’s retail credit portfolios comprise consumer and small/micro SME exposures and are now managed on a product portfolio basis. Policy scope and product terms & conditions are packaged and standardized in order to achieve maximum efficiency and reliability in portfolio underwriting, management and collections. Scorecards and credit risk rating tools are also used where available.

The key policies used for managing consumer products and developed for small/micro SME products include: - Product or Service Approval Process (PSAP), which describes the product target market, terms and conditions, and product features as well as eligibility criteria - Product Credit Policy, which describes the policy criteria and required checks and controls for the particular product - Underwriting Standards, which give detailed instructions to credit officers on the assessment and approval of applications

76 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 - Risk Appetite Statements, which set the boundary of a particular product and, where necessary, specify higher risk segments within it in terms of outstanding and also identify the probability of default and loss given default

• Credit approval and monitoring The Bank has a separate credit process for commercial credit (Corporate and SME) and retail credit and has segregated the role by credit process into ‘relationship management’ and ‘credit management’ for proper checks and balances. Relationship groups report to their respective Chief Officers, while credit management group reports to Chief Risk Officer. Relationship managers (RMs) for Commercial Credit are responsible for marketing, sales and deal origination, customer service, and preparation of credit applications that will be forwarded to credit officers for further credit risk assessment. RMs also have duties to endorse the proposed facilities structure, terms and conditions that match the borrowers’ financial position, cash flow, and risk involved. The credit applications are then proposed to the relevant credit committee that has the authority to approve based on the credit limit and the policy and qualitative justification. Credit beginning to run into problems or delinquent customers are forwarded to the Commercial Asset Management Committee.

For Retail Credit, the credit process is structured on a product basis. Again, marketing and credit management are separated into different groups, with the BU handling the marketing reporting to the Chief Retail Banking Officer and the credit management group reporting to the Chief Risk Officer. Customer acquisition is either through branches or direct sales under the marketing and sales guidance of the product manager. Consumer credit applications for unsecured products are processed through the credit scoring system and for secured products through the predefined underwriting standard under the expert judgment system. The collection team, currently under the Retail Credit Group, will then continue with the preventive collection and recovery collection process.

In terms of credit risk measurement, the Bank is using a credit risk rating system developed by an external advisor for its commercial credit. Plans are in place for further risk-based credit management such as on customer exposure limits, portfolio risk limits, and pricing. TMB has prepared and economic capital framework that will be implemented in 2009 and will be the basis for further improvement in risk management and will be the basis for single exposure limits, portfolio risk limits and pricing.

Funding or lending through parties related to the Bank’s executives or major shareholders As of December 31, 2008:

- The proportion of deposits accepted from businesses related to executives or major shareholders was 2.22%. - The proportion of loans and accrued interest receivable to businesses related to executives or major shareholders was 3.84%

If the Bank’s shares are issued as NVDRs in a great number, its shares with voting rights will decrease and the voting rights of other shareholders will increase.

Corporate Governance Report

Business operations with adherence to morality and ethics as well as prudent and competent management are key components in the promotion of good governance in an organization. This will provide a solid foundation for a standard business entity with efficient, transparent and reliable operations; hence enhancing its competitiveness, added business value, and sustainable profitability and growth.

Financial institutions, especially the “banking business,” play a vital role in promoting the national economic and social development. The banking business is intertwined with the general public way of life through deposit acceptance, credit rendering and other financial services. The public confidence and trust are crucial to banks’ survival. Thus, the banks’ duties and responsibilities toward the public are of high significance compared with those of other business sectors.

102 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 TMB has recognized the utmost importance of corporate governance and has adhered to this. It is our belief that with good governance principles and procedure, including transparent operations on the part of the directors, executives and employees of all levels, the Bank will be able to carry out its business successfully even amid the changing economic circumstances and fierce competition, and with optimum benefits to its shareholders, customers, investors and all other stakeholders. The Bank has also operated with assurance that its operations meet international standards and strictly comply with relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

In order to ensure integrity and transparency in the business operations and management, with equitable treatment to all stakeholders to safeguard against conflicts of interest and maintain good reputation, the Bank has laid down a Corporate Governance Policy. The policy covers all relevant regulatory issues and serves as guidelines for strict compliance by the Board of Directors, executives and employees of all levels so as to bring about good corporate governance for the Bank.

The Board of Directors of the Bank has approved the Corporate Governance Policy as written guidelines announced to all bank personnel, i.e. Board of Directors, management and bank staff for their acknowledgement and on-going compliance. The Board of Directors has put best efforts in ensuring the policy is implemented; and review, improvement and modification are undertaken to updated and align with the changing situations, as well as its translated into rigorous practice for the benefits of the Bank, shareholders and other stakeholders.

In 2008, the Bank continued its commitment to the transparent and fair operations under good corporate governance, on-going development of which will be pursued. Its corporate governance practice in the year can be summarized here:

1. The Board of Directors passed a resolution ranaming and restructuring the Nomination and Remuneration Committee as the Nomination, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee to assist the Board of Directors in overseeing and ensuring the Bank’s operations and the performance of duties of the Board of Directors, Board committees, management and employees in compliance with corporate governance principles. (Please refer to details in the item “Scope of duties and responsibilities of Nomination, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee”). 2. The Board of Directors passed a resolution appointing the Company Secretary to perform duties and responsibilities as prescribed by law and to perform duties that support the Board of Directors’ performance of duties in relation to rules, regulations and laws, as well as best practice. 3. The Board of Directors mapped out procedures for the shareholders to propose items on the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting and nominate candidates in the election of directors before the shareholders’ meeting is held. This allows the shareholders to participate in raising the issues that will benefit the Bank’s development, and nominating qualified and competent candidates for election as directors to perform duties efficiently in the best interests of the Bank and all stakeholders.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 103 4. The Board of Directors passed a resolution approving the implementation of a corporate governance self-assessment exercise of the Board of Directors and Board committees as a channel for them to review their performance and address problems and hindrances arising in the past year.

To enable the banking business to be in compliance with the principles of good corporate governance for listed companies as per the SET’s guidelines, the Bank would like to present a summarized report on its compliance with the principles of good corporate governance as follows:

1. Rights of shareholders The Bank has facilitated all shareholders to ensure they can fully exercise their basic rights, i.e. independent purchase, sales and transfer of securities they hold, and safeguarded the interests of all shareholders, comprising major shareholders, minor shareholders, individuals and institutions on an equitable basis in the access to accurate and updated information of the Bank.

The annual general meeting of shareholders has been determined to be held annually within four months from the end of the fiscal year (December 31). In case of any special issue that needs to be proposed as an urgent and necessary case, and where the approval of the shareholders’ meeting is required pursuant to the applicable conditions, rules or laws, the Bank will call an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on a case by case basis.

The Bank has a policy to arrange the shareholders’ meeting with efficiency and transparency and in compliance with relevant regulations and regulatory requirements. Meeting agenda and documents are to be delivered to the shareholders in advance, with sufficient information provided to support the shareholders’ consideration and decision to vote on each agenda with their full use of rights. On the meeting date, appropriate registration procedure has been prepared by the Bank, with facilities provided by Bank staff for the shareholders and proxies.

In 2008, the Bank held the 2008 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on Friday, April 25, 2008, at the Auditorium, Floor 7, TMB Head Office. Altogether 1,300 shareholders and proxies, holding a total number of 32,216,750,713 shares or 74.01% of the total shares sold, and eight directors attended the meeting. The meeting procedures conformed to the good corporate governance principles as below:

1.1 Before the meeting The shareholders had full access to necessary information on the meeting date and the agenda in advance on the Bank’s website so that they would have adequate time to study the information before receiving the documents. The Bank had assigned Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd. (TSD), its share registrar, to send out to all shareholders the invitation notice, with details stipulated therein regarding the meeting date, time and venue, as well as complete information necessary for the meeting. The invitation notice stated the objectives and rationale as well as the opinions of the Board of Directors on each item, accompanied by complete and

104 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 sufficient details for the consideration of each item and for the decision to vote on each item. Shareholders were clearly informed which item would be for consideration and which one for acknowledgement. Moreover, in the invitation notice, the shareholders were informed of the details regarding necessary evidence documents to be brought to the meeting.

A proxy form was also enclosed so that the shareholders could use in appointing any of the Bank’s designated independent directors or other persons as their proxies in case they could not attend the meeting.

1.2 During the meeting The meeting was arranged with transparency, fairness and equitable treatment of all shareholders. Appropriate registration procedure was prepared by the Bank, with facilities provided by Bank staff, classified by type of attendees, i.e. shareholders attending in person and proxies attending on shareholders’ behalf. This aimed at ensuring rapid and accurate registration procedure. Voting card was available for each attendee to vote on each item on the agenda. Moreover, the Bank also provided shuttle bus service at various spots and sufficient parking space to serve the shareholders.

At the 2008 AGM, the Chairman of the Board of Directors served as Chairman of the meeting, and Chairman of each Board committee, namely Audit Committee; Nomination, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, and Risk Management Committee, together with the President and Chief Executive Officer, were also present at the meeting to clarify and answer questions of relevant issues. Before the beginning of the meeting, the Chairman clearly informed the meeting of the voting and counting methods. For more convenience to the shareholders, a simultaneous English translation was provided by Bank staff for foreign shareholders. In this regard, the shareholders’ right to study of the Bank’s information memorandum would not be undermined, such as no abrupt distribution of additional document with key information during the meeting, no addition of new items on the agenda or change in the key information without prior notice to the shareholders, no prohibition of meeting attendance of late attendees, and so on.

The Chairman proceeded with the meeting in order of the items on the agenda. In consideration of certain items on the agenda in which directors who joined the meeting have interests or have relation thereto, e.g. election of directors to replace those who retire by rotation, the Chairman informed the meeting thereof and such directors would abstain from joining the consideration and voting thereon. The Chairman also encouraged the shareholders to cast votes and raise questions and comments. Importance was given to all the recommendations or comments made by the shareholders, with all questions comprehensively clarified and all useful suggestions brought into account. The vote casting and the vote counting were undertaken openly and transparently. At the 2008 AGM, White & Case (Thailand), Ltd., legal consultant, was invited to witness the vote counting on all agenda items. The meeting minutes and detailed votes on all items, as well as crucial questions, answers and comments, were recorded completely and accurately by the Company Secretary.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 105 1.3 After the meeting After the meeting, the minutes of the meeting that would be proposed for adoption at the next meeting were submitted to the relevant authority within the specified period, and also available to the shareholders on the Bank website.

In 2008, the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in cooperation with the Thai Investors Association and the Listed Companies Association jointly conducted quality assessment of the Annual General Meeting for 2008, thereby the 2008 AGM of the Bank was rated “Very Good.”

2. Equitable treatment of shareholders The Bank has been determined to conducting business under good corporate governance principles to assure all shareholders, i.e. major shareholders, minor shareholders, individuals and institutions, Thai and foreign alike, of their rights to fair and equitable treatment as follows:

2.1 Right to attend the shareholders’ meeting For each shareholders’ meeting, all shareholders will have equitable right to attend the meeting. Opportunity is opened to those who are unable to attend the meeting in person to appoint proxies to attend and vote at the meeting on their behalf. The Bank has arranged to have its independent directors who do not have interests in the business on the agenda be available for the appointment as proxies. The shareholders may appoint other persons as their proxies.

2.2 Right to vote at the shareholders’ meeting At each meeting of shareholders, the Bank specifies that the rights to vote shall be accordance with the amount of shares held by the shareholders, with one share equivalent to one vote. The voting shall be carried out rapidly and the counting of the votes shall be transparently disclosed, with one share equivalent to one vote. The majority votes will be considered as the resolution except for special resolutions of certain cases set forth by the laws requiring the votes of at least three-fourths of the votes of all the shareholders attending the meeting and having the rights to vote. As regards the voting method, the Bank shall have the shareholders vote by ballot in the case of dissenting votes and abstentions. Furthermore, the Bank will notify to the shareholders the voting result on every item once the counting is finished, divided into approval votes, dissenting votes and abstentions, as well as invalid ballots. The resolution of the meeting according to the voting result on each item will be recorded in writing and all ballots will be kept for further examination.

2.3 Right to appoint directors individually At each meeting of shareholders, the Bank has an agenda item concerning the election of the Bank’s directors. The shareholders are allowed to vote for the election of directors one by one which is the practice in conformity with good corporate governance that shareholders have the rights to choose the person/s that they deem having proper qualifications to perform duties as directors so as to safeguard the shareholders’ interests. This will enable the Bank to have directors from diversified fields to represent the shareholders. The Bank also has an agenda on directors’ remuneration to be proposed for consideration and approval on an annual basis.

106 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 2.4 Management of conflict of interest The Bank has scrupulously placed importance to the management of conflict of interest of the Bank and its subsidiaries on a transparent and fair basis, disclosed information and transactions in a complete and timely manner, and also overseen the directors, executives and staff at all levels to concern and comply with regulatory requirements regarding conflict of interest.

The consideration of the transactions that may involve conflict of interest or the connected transactions or the related transactions has been made stringently in accordance with the regulatory regulations and international standards, as well as in its normal business operation course and criteria. These transactions have been treated the same as those made with outside parties. Stakeholders in any transaction shall not participate in the consideration and approval of such transaction. The information is disclosed transparently under corporate governance practice.

The Bank’s policy The Bank set out a policy on dividend payment from financial statements (the Bank only) to ensure that the shareholders would obtain a reasonable rate of return, depending however on the Bank’s operational performance and relevant legal conditions as well as the capital adequacy and reserve requirements.

In addition, the dividend payment must be in line with the BoT’s Notification Re: Classification and Provision of the Financial Institutions dated August 3,2008 which stated that as long as financial institutions have not yet written off the impaired assets or has not yet made full provision for the assets and contingent liabilities whether they are impaired or not, financial institutions are not allowed to pay dividend nor any other forms of returns to its shareholders; and the BoT’s Notification Re: Regulation for Accounting Treatment of the Financial Institutions dated August 3,2008, Section 8: Dividend Policy, requiring that financial institutions should not make dividend payments out of the unrealized profit or profit that is not based on actual cash flow such as profit from mark to market securities value, or out of any profit derived from the reclassifying of financial assets or financial institutions should not make dividend payments out of the profit from sale of assets, which is not actually completed and which may result in abnormal profit or loss such as profit from sale of properties foreclosed where a repurchase option is part of the agreement.

Currently, no dividend is paid due to the fact that the Bank still has accumulated loss and discount on shares. According to the Public Limited Companies Act and other relevant regulations, dividend shall be paid if the Bank is able to clean up the accumulated loss and discount on shares.

Policy of subsidiary companies Subsidiary companies’ dividend payment is subject to the approval of their boards of directors and is to be proposed to their meetings of shareholders for consent.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 127 Analysis of the Financial Position and Operational Performance of the Bank

Executive summary

Improving earnings capability For the year ending 2008, the Bank and its subsidiaries’ net profit amounted to THB424 million, a significant improvement from net losses of THB43,677 million in 2007. The Bank’s core business continues to grow with consolidated pre-provision profit (PPOP) in 2008 rising to THB8,438 million from THB8,149 million in 2007. The marked improvement in net profit was driven mainly by significantly fewer loan loss provisions, increase in non-interest income and drop in non-interest expenses.

Prudent NPL classification and provisioning The Bank has adopted more stringent NPLs classification and provisioning in compliance with the international standards. This includes: 1) NPL classification from “by accounts” to “by customers”; 2) more conservative recognition of collateral value; and 3) more stringent qualitative loan downgrade. Nevertheless, NPLs as at the end of 2008 still declined by THB6,735 million or 8.8% yoy to THB69,777 million. The decline was the results of bank’s efforts in debt restructuring, bad debt resolution, NPL sales and write-off.

Proactive transformation expenses to prime for a stronger platform Other key initiatives during 2008 were: 1) THB850 million provisions for the HR realignment to be executed in 2009; and 2) realignment of Bank’s investment portfolio by cutting exposures in equity investment and in the same time taking impairment losses related to equity investments (THB523 million) and derivatives exposures (THB428 million). These initiatives were aimed to prime for a stronger banking platform, i.e. a more efficient HR platform and reduction in overall risk profile of Bank’s investment portfolio.

Loan book contracted but better quality As at 2008, Banks’ total loans were THB424,286 million, an 8.7% decrease from 2007. The decline was due mainly to the NPL sales as well as scheduled loan repayment. Despite Bank’s tightened underwriting standards, the loan contraction in the fourth quarter of 2008 had slowed down, attributed to the new high-quality credit underwriting, in particular the trade finance, which showed more than 50% yoy growth.

Improving deposit profile While Bank’s total deposits in 2008 dropped to THB450,297 million (3.3% yoy), total deposits in the fourth quarter of 2008 increased by THB16,798 million (4% qoq) with better mix of CASA (current and savings deposits) at 38.7% from 37.2% in the previous quarter. This was attributable to the Bank’s “Deposit-Led Strategy” implemented in 4Q08 and the focus to achieve the higher mix of CASA.

128 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Improving liquidity, margin and cost to income With Bank’s decision to cut down exposures to equity investment, Bank’s liquidity has improved with 14% of earning assets allocated to cash and interbank while loan to deposit (including short-term borrowing) dropped to 87% as at 2008. Net interest margin in 2008 expanded by 15 basis points to 2.7% due to the active asset and liability management, while the cost to income improved markedly to 75% (and 62% excluding extra items) in 2008, as a result of Bank’s cleaner balance sheet.

CAR of 13.9% of which Tier 1 was 10.1% As at 2008, Bank’s consolidated shareholders’ equity was THB45,046 million, an increase of 1.2% or THB526 million from 2007. The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of the Bank under Basel II calculation was 13.9%, of which 10.1% was Tier 1 capital, comfortably above the Bank of Thailand’s minimum requirement of 8.5% and 4.25% of CAR and Tier 1 capital, respectively.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by 13.6% from Baht 33,724 million in 2007 to Baht 29,152 million in 2008, primarily due to a decrease in interest on loans.

Interest on loans decreased by 17.2% from Baht 29,180 million in 2007 to Baht 24,150 million in 2008. This decrease resulted mainly from loan contraction and lower interest rates received on loans.

Interest on interbank and money market items increased by 109.1% from Baht 756 million in 2007 to Baht 1,581 million in 2008 due to an increase in the Bank’s weighting on investment in high-liquid assets.

Investment income fell by 9.7% from Baht 3,788 million in 2007 to Baht 3,421 million in 2008, caused mainly by reduction in investment in debt and equity securities.

130 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 • Interest expense Total interest expense was down by 22.7% from Baht 17,282 million in 2007 to Baht 13,359 million in 2008, ascribed primarily to a decrease in interest expense on deposits.

Interest on deposits declined by 27.6% from Baht 14,078 million in 2007 to Baht 10,197 million in 2008. Such decrease was primarily a result of declince in deposit outstanding and deposit rates.

Interest on interbank and money market items fell by 77.3% from Baht 557 million in 2007 to Baht 127 million in 2008, resulting principally from reduction in interbank borrowing, which was a result of the Bank’s active assets & liabilities management, and reduction in interest rates.

Interest on short-term borrowings decreased by 9.1% from Baht 1,282 million in 2007 to Baht 1,166 million in 2008 owing to reduction in average short-term borrowing.

Interest on long-term borrowings increased by 37.0% from Baht 1,365 million in 2007 to Baht 1,870 million in 2008. This was attributable to an increase in interest rates of the long-term borrowing.

• Net interest and dividend income Due to the above, the net interest and dividend income decreased by 3.9% from Baht 16,442 million in 2007 to Baht 15,792 million in 2008.

• Bad debts and doubtful accounts Allowance for bad debts and doubtful accounts decreased significantly from Baht 31,732 million in 2007 to Baht 5,177 million in 2008. In 2007, the Bank and its subsidiaries set provisions for bad debts and doubtful accounts in line with the Bank of Thailand’s provision requirement in preparation for the International Accounting Standard No.39 (IAS39) implementation. In 2008, the Bank set provisions for bad debts and doubtful accounts according to its asset quality, NPL sale and write-off. Moreover, the Bank raised its provisioning standard to meet the international standard, which mainly included classification of NPL by customers, conservative treatment of collateral value as well as more stringent qualitative classification.

• Loss on debt restructuring (reversal) The Bank and its subsidiaries had reversal of loss on debt restructuring amounted to Baht 750 million in 2007, compared with Baht 101 million in 2008.

• Non-interest income The following table summarizes the principal components of the Bank’s non-interest income for the periods indicated:

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 131 For the year ended December 31 2008 2007 (Unit: Bt. million) Non-interest income Gain/loss on investments (353) (831) Share of profit (loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method 465 282 Fees and service income Acceptances, avals and guarantees 524 649 Other fee and service income 4,487 4,771 Gain on exchange rate 951 1,095 Gain on sale of assets 626 - Other income(1) 313 626 Total non-interest income 7,014 6,591 (1) Other income includes unclaimed customer balances, miscellaneous income and income from subsidiaries.

Non-interest income rose 6.4% from Baht 6,591 million in 2007 to Baht 7,014 million in 2008 thanks to less investment loss, increase in share of profit from associated companies and gain on sale of assets.

Loss on investments lowered from Baht 831 million in 2007 to Baht 353 million in 2008.

Fees and service income was down by 5.9% from Baht 4,771 million in 2007 to Baht 4,487 million

in 2008, mainly as a result of reduction in credit-related fee income which mainly stemmed from loan contraction.

Gain on exchange rate decreased by 13.1 % from Baht 1,095 million in 2007 to Baht 951 million in 2008 due mainly to the market situation.

Other income dropped 49.9% from Baht 626 million in 2007 to Baht 313 million in 2008, mainly due to loss from a derivation settlement transaction.

132 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 • Non-interest expense The following table shows information with respect to the Bank’s non-interest expense for the periods indicated: For the year ended December 31 2008 2007 (Unit: Bt. million) Non-interest expense Personnel expenses 6,041 4,814 Premises and equipment expenses 2,585 2,565 Taxes and duties 884 1,345 Fees and service expenses 1,249 1,250 Directors’ remuneration 31 39 Loss on impairment of properties foreclosed and other assets 1,124 3,982 Contributions to the FIDF 1,863 2,157 Loss on provisions of obligations from transferred non-performing assets (49) 3,978 Loss on provisions of obligations - others 1,150 225 Loss on impairment of goodwill - 12,237 Loss on sales of assets - 242 Other expense(1) 2,236 2,625 Total non-interest expense 17,114 35,459 (1) Other expense includes expenses relating to off-balance sheet items and zero coupon bond acquired from BAMC for the sale

of NPAs.

Non-interest expense decreased by 51.7% from Baht 35,459 million in 2007 to Baht 17,114 million in 2008, principally due to an absence of loss on impairment of goodwill and declines in provisions of obligation and loss on impairment of properties foreclosed.

Loss on provisions of obligation from transferred non-performing assets was lower from Baht 3,978 million in 2007 to a reversal of Baht 49 million in 2008. In 2007, the Bank had provisions of obligations for possible loss sharing from TAMC of Baht 774 million and provisions of obligations for possible loss sharing from BAMC of Baht 3,204 million.

Loss on provisions of obligation (others) increased from Baht 225 million in 2007 to Baht 1,150 million in 2008. This was because the Bank began to set aside collective provisions for off-balance sheet items in 2008.

In 2007, the Bank charged an impairment loss on the full amount of the goodwill arising from the merger with the Industrial Finance Corporation of Thailand (IFCT) and DBS Thai Danu Bank Plc.(DTDB) of Baht 12,237 million.

Analysis of financial position • Assets Total assets decreased by 3.2% from Baht 622,161 million in 2007 to Baht 601,985 million in 2008.

Total loans (excluding accrued interest receivable) decreased by 8.7% from Baht 464,895 million in 2007 to Baht 424,286 million in 2008, due mainly to the Bank’s loan portfolio realignment, loan repayment and sale of non-performing loans.

Net investments reduced by 12.8% from Baht 96,346 million in 2007 to Baht 83,983 million in 2008 as a result of sale of investment in debt and equity securities.

• Liabilities Total liabilities decreased by 3.6% from Baht 577,641 million at the end of 2007 to Baht 556,939 million at the end of 2008.

Deposits declinded by 3.3 % from Baht 465,462 million at the end of 2007 to Baht 450,297 million at the end of 2008. The decrease was mainly from the decrease in savings deposit as some of the desposit moved to other types of the Bank’s products or term-deposit.

Borrowings increased by 24.2% from Baht 53,416 million at the end of 2007 to Baht 66,317 million at the end of 2008 due to increase in Bill of Exchange (BE) and short-term bond.

Interbank and money market items decreased by 62.8% from Baht 24,993 million in 2007 to Baht 9,299 million in 2008, ascribed to the Bank’s liquidity management.

134 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 • Shareholders’ equity Shareholders’ equity rose by 1.2% from Baht 44,520 million in 2007 to Baht 45,046 million in 2008. This was attributed largely to an increase in surplus on revaluation of fixed assets amounted to Baht 2,039 and the net profit of the year amounted to Baht 424 million. However, the increase was partly offset by a decrease in unrealized gain on revaluation of investment of Baht 1,454 million.

Fully diluted book value per share increased slightly from Baht 1.02 as of December 31, 2007 to Baht 1.03 as of December 31, 2008.

*From December 2008 onward, the Bank applies new definition to classify its customer segment (1) Corporate loans are loans to customers that have total annual revenue of over Baht 500 million. (2) SME loans are loans to customers that have total annual revenure of less than Baht 500 million including owner operator (3) Consumer loans are loans to individual person. Before 2008, the Bank defined customer segment as follows; (1) Corporate loans are loans to customers that either (i) have credit limits of more than Baht 300 million for each borrower or (ii)

have total annual revenue of over Baht 1,000 million or (iii) are listed on the SET. (2) SME loans represent loans to customers that either (i) have credit limits of less than Baht 300 million for each borrower or (ii)

have total annual revenue of less than Baht 1,000 million or (iii) are not listed on the SET. (3) Consumer loans represent personal consumption loans that fall within certain BOT loan definitions. (4) Total loans include interbank loans and money market items.

• Classification of assets TMB classifies its loans and other assets in compliance with BOT guidelines. TMB and its subsidiaries have classified their loan portfolios into six categories, primarily based on the non-accrual basis. For loans classified as pass and special mention, the calculation of allowances for doubtful accounts is based on the regulatory minimum percentage requirement, taking into consideration the collateral value, where the collateral type and date of the latest appraisal are qualifying factors. For loans classified as sub-standard, doubtful and doubtful of loss, the allowance on these accounts is set at 100% of the difference between the outstanding book value of the debt and the present value of future cash flows expected to be received or the expected proceeds from the disposal of collateral in accordance with BOT criteria.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 137 The table below sets forth the classification of loans for the periods indicated: For the year ended December 31 (Bank only) 2008 2007 2006 Loans and Loans and Loans and accrued accrued accrued interest interest interest receivable(1) Provision receivable(1) Provision receivable(1) Provision (Bt. million) Pass 306,980 1,172 364,042 1,390 462,207 2,422 Special Mention 53,729 378 32,176 213 27,736 200 Substandard 9,229 4,001 13,463 7,011 8,423 1,557 Doubtful 7,505 2,490 16,755 8,165 12,250 3,482 Doubtful Loss 50,141 28,070 43,732 21,262 37,279 18,269 Total 427,584 36,111 470,168 38,041 547,895 25,930 Add: Excess over BOT minimum requirement - 7,821 - 11,889 - 2,586 Total 427,584 43,932 470,168 49,930 547,895 28,516 (1) Excluding loans to banks and money market items.

Assets classified as substandard, doubtful or doubtful loss are considered NPAs. NPAs include loans and receivables, securities and other assets held by TMB that meet these classifications. NPLs are a subset of NPAs.

• NPLs As of December 31, 2008, the Bank and its subsidiaries’s NPLs classified as substandard, doubtful, and doubtful loss amounted to Baht 69,777 mllion, a decline of Baht 6,7 35 million from December 31, 2007, as a result of success of debt restructuring, bad debt resolution and non-performing loans sale & write-off.

As of December 31 2008, the Bank’s NPLs (excluding subsidiaries and associated companies) was Baht 66,082 million, a decline of Baht 6,333 million from December 31, 2007.

Percentage of NPLs for the Bank and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 was 14.3%, decreased from 16.1% at the end of 2007. Percentage of NPLs for the Bank (only) was 13.6%, decreased from 15.2% at the end of 2007.

• Debt restructuring As of December 31, 2008, the Bank and its subsidiaries executed troubled debt restructuring agreements as follows:

• The Thai Asset Management Corporation (TAMC) In accordance with the conditions of the Emergency Decree on the Thai Asset Management Corporation B.E. 2544, the Bank and its subsidiaries entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement with TAMC in 2001 for sales of sub-standard quality assets to TAMC and the Bank and its subsidiaries had received promissory notes from TAMC for the transfers (see Note to financial statements no. 5.3). TAMC and the transferors are to share the profits or losses from TAMC’s managing of the non-performing assets, in accordance with the conditions specified in the agreements, at the end of the fifth year and at the end of the tenth year, commencing July 1, 2001.

In the case of losses, the transferors will be responsible for the first portion of losses, not exceeding 20% of the transfer price. The second portion of losses, not exceeding 20% of the transfer price, will be equally shared between TAMC and the transferors. The remaining losses will be absorbed by TAMC.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 139 In case of profits, the first portion of profits, not exceeding 20% of the transfer price, will be equally shared between TAMC and the transferors. Should there be any profits remaining, the transferors are entitled to receive this portion up to an amount not exceeding the book value of non-performing assets less the transfer price and the transferors’ share in the first portion of the profits.

In 2006, TAMC informed the Bank and its subsidiaries of a loss sharing at the end of the fifth year of Baht 730 million. The Bank and its subsidiaries had recognized potential loss sharing from TAMC by the said amount as provision for contingent liability. In addition, the Bank had been informed of potential loss on an adjustment to the transferred price of non-performing assets on pledged machinery of Baht 4,341 million

in November 2006. The Bank denied such adjustment on the ground that it was non-compliant with the Asset Transfer Agreement dated October 12, 2001, hence not enforceable by law. The Bank, however, had recorded a potential loss from the adjustment of machinery of Baht 4,341 million as a provision for contingent liability.

At present, the Bank has already started legal proceedings against TAMC.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank and its subsidiaries have estimated the present value of expected loss sharing from TAMC (excluding provision for contingent liability on an adjustment to the transfer price for previously pledged machinery, as discussed above) as at the end of the tenth year in the consolidated financial statements at the amount of Baht 1,240 million and Baht 1,228 million, respectively, and in the financial statements (Bank only) at the amount of Baht 1,201 million and Baht 1,198 million, respectively, based on the report from TAMC on the status of transferred assets and other historical information related to non-performing assets management. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of expected future loss is equal to the rate of return on assets or financial instruments having similar properties. The cumulative provisions for contingent liability (including provision for contingent liability on an adjustment to the transfer price on previously pledged machinery) is Baht 5,857 million in the consolidated financial statements and Baht 5,818 million in the financial statements (Bank only). For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Bank and its subsidiaries recognized the present value of expected loss shairing from TAMC Baht 61 million as an interest expense in the consolidated statement of income and the statement of income (Bank only).

• Phayathai Asset Management Company (PAMC) Phayathai Asset Management Company Limited (“PAMC”) was registered with the Ministry of Commerce on August 9, 2000 and registered with the Bank of Thailand to operate as an asset management company on September 1, 2000. The Bank holds approximately 100% of the share capital of PAMC.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank had obligations to register the transfer of ownership of the transferred assets, referred to below.

Under conditions of the asset transfers, the Bank (transferor) delivers the documents relating to these assets to PAMC (transferee) within 30 days from the transfer date (the date stated in the contract to transfer non-performing assets), unless mutually agreed by the contracting parties to extend the delivery period. The transferor or the transferee has the right to revise the transfer prices of such assets within 180 days from the transfer date.

140 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 The sale of assets by Phayathai Asset Management Company Limited On September 3, 2003, PAMC signed an agreement with Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“BAMC”) for the sale of assets as mentioned above. The effective date of the asset transfer was September 30, 2003. The transfer of the assets and their underlying collateral was made under the provisions of the Emergency Decree on Asset Management Company, B.E. 2541 (1998), allowing the fixing of transfer prices as agreed by PAMC and BAMC.

On the transfer date, BAMC paid PAMC the total value of the assets in the form of a negotiable promissory note issued on September 30, 2003 for an amount of Baht 19,533 million, which was the non-performing loan amount of Baht 16,634 million and the properties foreclosed amount of Baht 2,899 million, with the maturity date falling on September 30, 2015. The interest on the promissory note was fixed at a rate equivalent to the weighted average interest rates for all types of Thai Baht deposits of the five largest local commercial banks. The first payment is due on the 6th anniversary of the promissory note issuing date while subsequent payments will be on a yearly basis after the first payment until the maturity date. One condition was that endorsement on the promissory note by the transferor to negotiate the promissory note with any party other than TMB Bank, the Bank of Thailand or the Financial Institutions Development Fund was non-exercisable. In case of BAMC’s decision to go into liquidation before the promissory note’s maturity date, BAMC is required to transfer the rights and obligatory commitments over the promissory note to another juristic person as consented to by PAMC.

Both PAMC and BAMC have the right to call for an adjustment to the prices of the transferred assets within 180 days from the transfer date. The price adjustment, if in effect, could be done by issuing an additional promissory note by PAMC or by BAMC, as the case may be.

PAMC and BAMC have mutually agreed that recognition of profit or loss would be computed at the end of the sixth year and the twelfth year after the transfer date.

Computation of profit or loss from asset management is to be made on the value received from the debt collection process. The debt collection can be accumulated on a cash basis until the computation date, only on the debts that are fully settled. The recognition must come from the value received less cost of each asset at the transfer date, administrative expenses on each of the debts settled, and interest expense on the promissory note. At the end of the sixth year and the twelfth year from the transfer date, results of the management of assets under the agreement must be shared between BAMC and PAMC. In case of debt settlement done through asset transfer, recognition of profit or loss occurs only after the asset is successfully disposed of to clear the debt.

In case of a loss from the management of group 1 assets, PAMC will absorb the first 20% of the loss. The next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between PAMC and BAMC. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAMC.

In case of a loss from the management of group 2 assets: (a) If the transfer prices are not at a discount, PAMC will absorb the first 30% of the loss, while the next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between PAMC and BAMC. The rest of the

loss will be absorbed in full by BAMC.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 141 (b) If the transfer prices are at a discount of 5%, PAMC will absorb the first 25% of the loss, while the

next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between PAMC and BAMC. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAMC. (c) If the transfer prices are at a discount of 10%, PAMC will absorb the first 20% of the loss, while the

next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between PAMC and BAMC. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAMC. (d) If the transfer prices are at a discount of 15%, PAMC will absorb the first 20% of the loss, while the

next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between PAMC and BAMC. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAMC.

In case of a profit from the management of group 1 and group 2 assets, the first portion of the profit not exceeding 20% of the transfer prices will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between PAMC and BAMC. The rest of the profit will be taken by PAMC in full, but not exceeding the margin between the book value and the transfer prices. The remaining profit thereof, if any, will be taken in full by BAMC.

Between September 30, 2003 and the end of 2005, PAMC sold and transferred the assets comprising investments in receivables, loans and receivables, both secured and unsecured, non-performing assets, and related assets to BAMC at a total price of Baht 19,712 million. BAMC paid PAMC the said total value of the assets in the form of a negotiable promissory note and PAMC then endorsed the promissory note to transfer the whole amount thereof to TMB for repayment of long-term loans.

Adjustments to the transfer prices and returns of the non-performing loans and non-performing assets made between PAMC and BAMC for various reasons until end-2005 amounted to Baht 1,011 million in total. PAMC issued a promissory note of Baht 1,011 million to BAMC as payment for the said adjustments. Presently, PAMC is in the process of issuing a promissory note of Baht 4 million to BAMC for a spread of prices from sales of the non-performing assets in 2003. PAMC then recognized interest payable on the said promissory note for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in an amount of Baht 17 million and Baht 20 million respectively and presented these as interest expenses in its financial statements.

In 2006, PAMC and BAMC prepared minutes of a meeting regarding details of the calculation of indemnity to be paid by PAMC to BAMC according to the non-performing asset purchase agreement, under which the two parties agree to settle an indeminity between them by the end of the sixth year or the twelfth year

by means of offsetting with the amount payable by BAMC under the promissory note on the date stated in the agreement dated September 3, 2003.

As at 31 December 2008 and 2007, the Group estimated the present value of expected loss sharing from BAM as at the end of the twelfth year at the amount of Baht 3,390 million and Baht 3,204 million, respectively, by considering the report from BAM on the status of assets transferred from the subsidiary and other historical information related to non-performing assets management. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of expected future loss is equal to the rate of return on assets or financial instruments having similar properties. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recognised the increase in provision for contingent liability of Baht 186 million as an interest expense in the consolidated statement of income.

142 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 • Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Co., Ltd. (BAMC) On October 9, 2006, the Bank entered into an agreement with Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“BAMC”) for the transfer of non-performing assets (NPA). The transfer price would be prorated by the appraised value of each asset group based on the liquidity condition of the asset. This is in compliance with the Bank of Thailand’s Notification Re: “Requirements and Operation Procedures for Asset Management Companies” dated November 27, 2000, and the Royal Decree on Asset Management Companies, B.E. 2541. The Bank is required to complete the classification of NPA within 120 days from the agreement-signing date. BAMC will examine the assets before confirming to the Bank the purchase price on individual assets within 30 days from the date of asset classification made by the Bank. The Bank and BAMC will enter into a sale and purchase agreement within 30 days from the signing date of the NPA transfer agreement. Payment for NPA will be in the form of non-interest bearing promissory notes. The term of the promissory notes will depend upon the liquidity of the NPA transferred.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank entered into sale and purchase agreements with BAMC (transferee) to sell NPA at net book value (net of allowance for impairment) totaling Baht 266 million and Baht 1,482 million respectively, with related gain of Baht 0.11 million and related loss of Baht 331 million, respectively. The Bank received promissory notes avaled by the Financial Institutions Development Fund of Baht 266 million and Baht 1,151 million, respectively which mature in 2009-2016. Upon receipt, the Bank recognized present value losses on these notes of Baht 33 million and Baht 160 million respectively, which have been recorded in other expenses.

Non-Performing Assets (NPA) (Bank only) NPAs consist of properties acquired from auction, properties acquired from debt settlement, and disused properties, all of which generate a small amount of revenues or none at all, while the Bank still has to set aside provisions for impairment of these assets. The impairment of these NPAs is booked in accordance with the Bank’s NPA sale acceleration plan. Shown in the below table are the Bank’s disposal of NPAs and provisions for impairment of NPAs and other assets in 2007 and 2008: As of December 31, 2008 As of December 31, 2007 (Bt. million) (Bt. million) Beginning balance 23,450 26,853 Increase (Decrease) (2,719) (3,403) Ending balance 20,731 23,450 Provision for impairment (3,913) (3,980) Total NPAs-net 16,818 19,470

• NPA Management (Bank only) The NPAs held by the Bank are scattered nationwide. Overhead expenses to keep the properties in good condition and ready for disposal is around Baht 38 million a year. However, the Bank has put up some of the properties for rent to help save the maintenance cost on the properties. In 2007 and 2008, income from the rental of such properties was Baht 62 million and Baht 60 million respectively.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 143 To facilitate the asset sales, the Bank has prepared the property database to be available via the Bank’s Internet and intranet system and other printed materials to support both internal and external sale channels.

All bank employees, of more than 8,000 persons at different branch locations nationwide, as well as estate agents and the public, have taken part in the sale pitch, with sale commission provided by the Bank as incentives. In 2007 and 2008, TMB’s net income from disposal of its NPAs totaled Baht 7,918 million and Baht 5,221 million respectively.

Investments in securities (Bank only) As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, the Bank’s net investments in securities (excluding investments in subsidiaries and associated companies) stood at Baht 92,640 million and Baht 80,739 million, respectively, and the market value of investments in debt securities was Baht 82,080 million and Baht 77,356 million, respectively. The Bank principally holds debt securities for investment purpose. Corporate Treasury Group, which handles the asset and liability management, is responsible for managing the debt securities portfolio, except those held for trading purpose. Meantime, Treasury & Markets Group is responsible for managing the minor portion of the debt securities. The majority of the debt instruments invested by the Bank are government and state enterprise bonds giving long-term fixed yields. The Bank also invests in private sector debt instruments but in a limited amount and has gradually decreased this portfolio in order to lower the credit risk. The debt securities held for investment purpose consist of available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities.

Investment Banking Group is responsible for managing the Bank’s equity securities investments, which as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 (excluding investments in subsidiaries and associated companies) amounted to Baht 11,776 million and Baht 7,285 million, respectively. The Bank principally invests in equity securities that are marketable on the stock market, unit trusts, and non-listed securities acquired through either investments in joint venture projects or debt restructuring.

Liquidity and funding • Liquidity management The objective of liquidity management is to keep the Bank’s financially capable of performing its financial obligations at present and in future and generating benefits when the market condition serves. The financial obligations arise from deposit withdrawal, repayment of debts incurred on matured investments, loan expansion, working capital requirement, and legally required provisioning. The Bank has adequate liquidity sources and can manage its liquidity through the domestic and foreign money market, the exchange market, and the repurchase market.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 145 The table below shows the Bank’s liquidity status for the periods indicated: December 31 2008 2007 2006 (Bt. million except in %) Liquid assets 163,877 140,980 162,085 Loans/Deposits (%) 94.2 100.1 95.2 Loans/Deposits (baht only) (%)) 92.0 98.0 92.2 Liquid assets/Assets (%) 27.3 22.8 21.6 Liquid assets/Deposits (%) 36.4 30.3 28.5

• Liquidity (Bank Only) As of December 31, 2008, TMB had liquid assets of Baht 163,877 million, shifted from Baht 140,980 million as of December 31, 2007 resulting largely from a increase in interbank and MM items.

Net cash used in operating activities was in a deficit of Baht 12,754 million as of December 31, 2008, compared with Baht 49,570 million a year earlier, caused chiefly by a drop in loan.

Deposits decreased by 3.2% from Baht 465,628 million as of December 31, 2007 to Baht 450,560 million as of December 31, 2008. Borrowings increased by 24.7% from Baht 53,215 million as of December 31, 2007 to Baht 66,342 million as of December 31, 2008, due primarily to issuing bills of exchange.

Capital expenditures Capital expenditures (the total increment in addition to land, premises & equipment but excluding revaluation surplus on assets) amounted to Baht 2,844 million in 2006, Baht 1,578 million in 2007, and Baht 549 million as of December 31, 2008.

In 2008, the Bank’s capital expenditures mainly were investments in electronic appliances and in the expansion of branch network and ATM/EDC for service point expansion; procurement of consumer sale tools to enhance the speed and segmented product and service offering by branches with a complete and updated availability of consumer product information; intra-group service system development with member companies such as ING Funds (Thailand) Co., Ltd., ING Life Ltd., and TMB Asset Management Co., Ltd.; enhancement of credit process rapidness through projects such as one-day approval process to help boost the Bank’s business volume and income; remodeling of some of the existing un-refurbished branches; replacement of computers, printers, and automatic pass-book update machines for branches; IT security system improvement; enhancement of application system flexibility in a mix & match pattern for a more diverse product development; application program development for all units to increase their efficiency and compliance with Basel II and BoT standards; and automation of the business process improvement for operational cost reduction and risk mitigation.

Capital adequacy According to the Bank of Thailand’s notification, commercial banks registered in Thailand are required to maintain, at end of day, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) at a minimum of 8.5%, with Tier 1 CAR of not less than 4.25%. To meet this requirement, as of December 31, 2008 TMB had total capital of Baht 63,105 million, of which Baht 45,986 million was Tier 1 and Baht 17,794 million was Tier 2, and maintained a CAR under Basel II standards at 13.91%, which was well above the BOT’s minimum requirement.

Risk Factors

Risk from economic condition

Thai economy in 2008 experienced a slowdown from last year due to several risks from external and internal factors. Key external factors were the impact from US financial crisis which led to global economic slowdown and global oil price hike during the first 7 month of this year. Internal factors such as increasing inflationary pressure and loss of confidence in uncertain political situation led consumer to be cautious on their spending while investors postponed their investments. Meanwhile, Government investment decreased from political uncertainty and changing of government itself in which it delayed the implementation of several government projects. So, budget disbursement was not able to meet its target. Furthermore, the prolonged anti- government protest which led to the closure of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in the late November until early December, deteriorated foreign investors confidence as well as damaged tourism industry. The US economy, EU and Japan, Thailand’s major trading countries, have also entered recession period since the third quarter of 2008 and have had a large negative impact on exports of goods and services in the last quarter. The affected manufacturing industries have had to layoff workers which subsequently decrease domestic demand and also had a crucial part slowdown of Thai economy from average 5.1% growth in the first 3 quarter of this year to experience a growth contraction in the last quarter of 2008, the first contraction in nearly 10-year.

The Thai economy in 2009 is expected to encounter a tough period. The export sector, the main driver of Thai economic growth in the past several years, would rapidly slowdown especially in the first half of this year after global recession heading to its bottom as well as increasing trade barriers from trading’s partners. Moreover, the ongoing political instability and the downward trend of agriculture prices in line with decreasing global commodity prices would cause both consumers and investors to lower their consumptions. Unemployment is expected to rise. However, in 2009, there are several positive factors that can help to deter the slowdown of domestic demand such as the downward trend of inflation from decreasing oil prices and commodity prices, low interest rate and also the stream line of government stimulus packages in which it can help to restore confidence as well as domestic expenditure. Therefore, the Thai economy in 2009 could avoid recession period.

In 2009, TMB is well aware of risks from severe global economic slowdown as well as deterioration of Thai economy. The bank has given important priority to analysis, close assessment on economy and risk management that relate to bank performance by preparing measures and proper actions at all time so as to minimize the loss to all related parties and the bank.

Risks from Material changes in the regulations that govern the Bank and its business activities.

2008 marked a major change in the regulations governing financial institutions following the enactment of the Financial Institution Business Act, which came into force on August 3, 2008, and the Deposit Protection Agency Act, which took effect on August 11, 2008.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 147 Financial Institution Business Act

The main objectives of this act can be summed up into three major aspects: 1. The act aims to monitor risks incidental to the transactional concentration in activities such as lending and lending-equivalent transactions, particularly transactions made with related parties and the transactions favoring directors/senior management. The Bank therefore put in place an efficient control process to avoid breaching this regulation. The act also covers a consolidated supervision of financial business group of the financial institutions with the same regulation. 2. Financial institutions must implement risk management, with their board of directors and management responsible for defining policies and business plans, prudently identifying risks from launching of new transactions, regularly conducting a control self-assessment, and exercising good governance principles in the business management. 3. To ensure consumer protection, banks must render customer services on the basis of equality, transparency and openness through a thorough process and procedure and must have a complaint center to cater to service users.

Based on the above objectives of the new legislation, it is essential for financial institutions to establish a control process to make sure they could prevent risks of violating or failing to fully comply with the regulations. After all, facing a complaint or lawsuit from customers or outsiders will certainly tarnish the Bank’s reputation, image and operations.

Deposit Protection Agency Act

The act has become effective since August 11, 2008. Under this act, the full deposit guarantee provided by the Financial Institutions Development Fund will be terminated and instead the Deposit Protection Agency (“DPA”) will provide a protection for baht-denominated deposits in a limited amount per customer and per institution. The protection amount will be gradually reduced on a yearly basis as follows: year 1 (2008) 100% protected, year 2 protected for Baht 100 million/customer/institution, year 3 Baht 50 million, year 4 Baht 10 million, and year 5 onwards Baht 1 million.

Due to the fallouts from financial crisis in the USA and the EU countries, financial institutions have come under liquidity crunch, thereby prompting their respective governments to implement urgent bailout plans including government expanding the level of deposit protection. Likewise, ASEAN member countries have announced a full deposit protection to restore the public confidence in the financial sector. For Thailand, to be prepared for the global financial system fluctuations and to fend off impacts on domestic liquidity from international deposit and capital outflows, as well as to build up depositors’ confidence, the Ministry of Finance has accordingly extended the full protection period to cover second and third years.

As a result, the full 100% deposit protection will cover years 1-3 (August 11, 2008 - August 10, 2011), then decreased to a maximum of Baht 50 million in year 4 (August 11, 2011 - August 10, 2012) and to Baht 1 million in year 5 (August 11, 2012 onwards). This measure will help to alleviate the liquidity problem in the banking sector to some degree.

148 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Currently, this act is not yet been applicable to specialized financial institutions. These institutions must hasten to strengthen their financial status and business management efficiency to maintain their competitiveness by speedily building a strong retail customer base. Otherwise, they may risk facing a liquidity problem.

New laws related to financial institutions’ activities that are now under the government’s consideration include the draft legislation on personal information protection and the business collateral act.

These laws, once endorsed by concerned authorities and coming into force, will affect the Bank’s operations. Thus, it is necessary for the Bank to take a preparatory action to safeguard against all possible impacts.

Overview of TMB’s risk management

The Bank has set up its risk management structure in order to efficiently manage its core risks i.e. credit, market, operational, liquidity, reputational and strategic risks. Various risk policies and procedures have been established to provide common guidelines and standards to be applied consistently across the Bank.

The Bank manages its risks under the following key principles: core risks must be identified, measured, monitored, reported, analysed and controlled; business activities are managed under a risk-return framework. The Bank risk governance structure consists of the Risk Management Committee (RMC) and senior management risk committees which provide forums to discuss specific risk areas: Asset and Liabilities Management Committee (ALCO), the Credit Policy Committee, the Operational Risk Management Committee and the Chief Executive Committee. The RMC has been delegated by the Board of Directors to review and oversee the management of all risks across the enterprise and is authorized to approve the Bank’s overall risk management strategies, policies, frameworks and standards, as well as aggregate risk tolerance and risk concentration levels.

While business units are primarily responsible for managing risks, all the risk management related functions are under the stewardship of the Chief Risk Officer (CRO). There are dedicated units for market risk management, credit risk management and operational risk management which are responsible for establishing firm-wide risk management policies and guidelines, act as centers for risk management activities and assumes the following roles: to develop and maintain risk management policies; to propose risk strategy and recommend risk appetite to top management for approval, and to monitor, control and report risk levels to top management.

Risk factors associated with the Bank’s management Key risks and risk management measures of the Bank are as follows:

Strategic risk

Strategic risk results from the exercise of strategic plans, business plans, strategic implementation, and control which are considered inappropriate and inconsistent with both internal and external business environments. The strategic risk is directly harmful to the bank’s income, capital and existence.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 149 In 2008, TMB, led by new management team and directors, has set the vision “to be the leading Thai bank with world class financial solutions” and restructured the Bank to be the “Customer Centric Organization” with the implementation of deposit-led strategy to reduce the credit risks from traditional loan-led strategy. TMB has developed a 3-year strategic plan with the clear direction of market leadership in deposit and produced a 2009 business plan in line with the rapidly changing economic environment resulting from the global financial crisis and global economic downturn.

To succeed in bank transformation and strengthen the bank foundation, TMB has devised the project governance framework covering the initiation of projects, approval authority, implementation monitoring and reporting of project progress.

Furthermore, TMB has improved the process of performance tracking and strategic control. Regular meetings of the management team and business units are held to review the performance together with a remedial plan in case of missing target. The strategic risk dashboard has been initiated to keep the management informed and be aware of the strategic risk status on a quarterly basis. The control self assessment in strategic risk is also annually evaluated by the management.

In all, TMB is strongly determined to increase its capability in strategic risk management starting from the process of strategic planning, organization restructuring, staffing and project implementation till the performance monitoring and controlling go in line with the bank’s key strategies. In addition, the strategic planning will be reviewed continuously and regularly to be consistent with the changing situation.

Credit risk

The Bank is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that a borrower or counterparty may fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms, principally the failure to make required payments on loans or obligations due to the Bank. To minimize this risk, the financial position of each potential customer or counterparty is analyzed under certain financial and quantitative parameters according to a credit rating system for its corporate banking and SME customers. The models’ performance are monitored and where necessary redeveloped. In addition, the Bank analyses cash flow and other qualitative features such as industry trends, competitiveness and management capabilities. Part of the Bank’s risk strategy is to mitigate concentration of its credit exposure in any one industry or individual customer or counterparty in any country. For consumer credit, the Bank utilizes credit scoring method for its approval. For housing loan products, the Bank additionally utilized predefined expert judgment underwriting standards. The development of a credit bureau in Thailand under which the Bank can obtain the credit status of its existing and potential customers has improved the Bank’s ability to analyze credit and counterparty risk. The significant credit risk are as follows:

• Risk from credit quality The risk of non-payment by the Bank’s customers is affected by changes in economic and industry conditions, the credit profile of its borrowers, the duration of its loans and the Bank’s risk management policies. In

150 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 addition, in recent years, SME debt, consumer debt, and particularly credit card debt have increased rapidly in Thailand. These increased debt levels may cause certain of the Bank’s customers to become delinquent on their loans. Further, when the Bank restructures NPLs, it may receive lower interest payments than originally agreed to and, in some cases, the Bank may collect less than the original principal amount of loans.

• Risk from credit concentrations Although the Bank has provided credits to a broad range of business sectors, its business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely impacted from financial troubles plaguing any business sector and the general economic condition. However, slumps in the manufacturing and the wholesale & retail sectors may result in a greater number of NPLs in these sectors. The Bank monitors concentration risk via single exposure limits as well as the establishment of industry limits.

• Risk from impairment of collaterals value A substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is secured by real estate and other assets, the value of which may be affected by the overall economic conditions of Thailand. A downturn in the real estate market could result in the principal amount of loans secured by real estate exceeding the loan to value proportion as that at the time of origination. Therefore, if Thai economy in general or real estate values in particular deteriorate, the Bank may be required to adjust downward the value of collaterals securing its loans in future periods. Any decline in the value of collaterals securing loans may result in an increase in the Bank’s allowance for doubtful accounts.

Market risk Market risk exposes the Bank to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates or stock prices that can change the value of financial products of the Bank, leading to a potential loss.

For risk management purposes, the Bank has established various market risk policies, which set standards and guidelines for market risk management. The business unit designated with the responsibility for market risk management accomplishes this task under the standards set in the policies, while Market Risk Management Group independently monitors the firm-wide market risk.

The Bank controls the actual market risk exposure by setting limits to the maximum exposure and maximum loss approved by the Board of Directors through delegated authority. The significant market risks are as follows: • Foreign exchange risk The Bank’s Treasury and Markets Group is responsible for managing foreign exchange positions of the Bank’s trading book. In addition, Market Risk Management Group puts in place a framework of risk management measurement designed to minimize the excessive risk from unfavorable changes in market conditions, which adversely affect the prices or returns on the Bank’s trading and investment portfolios related to foreign currencies, with strict limits on:

1. Foreign Exchange Risk Limit (Delta Limit) covers all foreign currency transactions. These are set in accordance with the BOT regulations regarding daily foreign exchange overbought/oversold position (open position).

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 151 2. FX Derivative Risk Limit applies to FX derivative products and related hedges. These refer to the expected changes in the derivative prices for a given change in the underlying foreign exchange rate and are imposed on: 2.1 FX Option Delta: the expected change in the derivative price for a given change in the underlying foreign exchange rate. 2.2 Matrix Limit: the profit and loss that arises given market rate changes such as FX spot and FX volatility change by 1% respectively. The limit is set against a worst-case scenario, i.e. the maximum loss figure that may occur if the market parameters move against the existing position.

Within these limits, the Treasury and Markets Group is responsible for managing and trading the portfolio and to optimize the return on the funds invested. Procedures, strategies and performance are reviewed by ALCO, and adherence to the limits is monitored by market risk management.

• Interest rate risk The Bank’s net interest income or net interest margin is dependent on the movement of interest rates and mismatches in cash flows or re-pricing dates. Interest rate movements directly affect the Bank’s income and expenses from assets and liabilities as well as capital fund. Interest rate risk management is undertaken in accordance with the policy framework as approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors, by establishing and monitoring various risk curbing limits such as Earnings-at-Risk, interest rate sensitivity gap limits and stop loss limits. The ALCO oversees the firm-wide structural interest rate risk.

The Bank has adopted interest rate risk hedging measures to cushion the interest rate volatility, e.g. rebalancing of assets and liabilities or setting of a proper mismatch by considering external and internal factors including interest rate forecasted by the Bank’s Research Department under ALCO’s responsibility.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank fails to perform the obligations on due dates given the failure to raise the required amount of funds or to change assets into cash within the specified period of time at a reasonable cost, which might cause damage to the Bank. The ALCO is responsible for the oversight of liquidity management. The primary aim is to provide liquidity to the Bank in order to ensure that liquidity position is sufficient for the Bank’s normal operations as well as for any crisis that may arise. The Bank’s liquidity level is to exceed the minimum as required by BoT and complies with the risk framework approved by the Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors. The Bank reviews its liquidity risk policy for a normal and a critical situation on regular bases or as required given any material change that may impact the bank’s position and to ensure alignment with the Bank’s core policy, the organization structure, the regulatory rules, and the market condition that might be changing.

Balance Sheet Management Group (BSMG) has been entrusted by the ALCO with the duties of liquidity management to maintain highly liquid assets in both baht and foreign currencies, and procurement of short-term and long-term funding sources for the Bank to meet funding requirements for its business operations. BSMG also closely reviews and controls the Bank’s liquidity position by preparing various forms of reports and simulates liquidity crisis situations to facilitate management and maintaining of a portfolio of appropriately liquid assets and liabilities.

152 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 According to its funding structure as of 31 December 2008, the Bank’s deposits, interbank & money market items, short-term and long-term borrowings were 85.1%, 1.8%, 6.6% and 5.9%, respectively. Previously, the Bank relied chiefly on short-term funding. The Bank’s ongoing deposit-led strategy seeks to further strengthen its financial position and operating results in order to boost depositors’ and customers’ confidence. Meanwhile, priority is also given to liquidity risk management by increasing the minimum level of liquid assets, keeping abreast of risk levels on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, setting risk limits, and taking proactive steps to contain risks at an acceptable level. Plans for risk management in critical situations have been devised and tested to ensure that the Bank has strategic plans for taking remedial action should an early warning signal be triggered.

Operational risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and reputational risk.

The Bank has developed an Operational Risk Management Framework to ensure that the Operational Risks are properly identified, measured, monitored, reported, analysed and controlled in a systematic and consistent manner. The framework consists of an Operational Risk Governance Structure, Operational Risk Management Policies which cover all Basel II loss event categories, other supplementary policies, and three Operational Risk Tools; Control Self Assessment (CSA), Key Risk Indicators (KRI), and Loss Data Collection and Incident Management.

Business and Support Units are primarily responsible and accountable for their own Operational Risk Management and Control. The Bank has appointed a number of Unit Operational Risk Managers (UORM) in the Business and Support Units who, with support from the Operational Risk Management Department, take on carry out the Operational Risk Management responsibilities of their respective units.

Other major Operational Risk Mitigation Programs/Mechanisms include Product and Service Approval Process (PSAP), Outsourcing Risk Management, and Business Continuity Planning (BCP).

To ensure that products and services are offered in a safe manner, the Product and Services Approval Process (PSAP) is established to set guidelines for sign-off and approval of new products and services. This due diligence process ensures that the risks created by the new products and services are properly identified and addressed and the necessary infrastructure and controls are in place to support the new business.

The Bank has established the Outsourcing Risk Management Policy to set out the principles and standards for the effective identification of the major risks created by outsourcing and the management of such risks.

The Bank has established the Business Continuity Management Policies and Standards to provide guidance and standards for all units to develop Business Continuity Plan. The Business Continuity Management Office is set up to oversee the implementation of BCM Policies and Standards and monitor BCM readiness of the Group and lead the co-ordination of group-wide BCP initiatives to raise the overall BCP readiness of the Bank.

1 General information

TMB Bank Public Company Limited, “the Bank”, is incorporated in Thailand. The Bank has been granted a license to conduct commercial banking business. Its Head Office is located at 3000 Phaholyothin Road, Chomphol Subdistrict, Chatuchak District, Bangkok, Thailand. The Bank has branches throughout Thailand and in certain overseas countries.

The Bank was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (“SET”) on 23 December 1983.

The principal businesses of the Bank are financial services.

On 28 December 2007, the Bank issued new ordinary shares allotted to ING Bank N.V., foreign and Thai institutional investors and existing Thai residential shareholders totaling 25,000 million shares, for a total amount of Baht 37,622 million. This resulted in ING Bank N.V. becoming one of the major shareholders of the Bank.

The consolidated financial statements relate to the Bank and its subsidiaries, together referred to as “the Group”, and the Group’s interest in associates. Details of the Bank’s subsidiaries as at 31 December 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

170 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Notes to the financial statements

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 exclude investments in Siam Resort Fund in which the Bank holds more than 50% of the issued investment units as the Bank does not have any control over the financial and operating policies of the mutual fund (Type 4 property fund).

On 14 August 2008, the Bank entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Macquarie International Holdings Limited, London (“Macquarie”) to sell the TMB Macquarie Securities (Thailand) Limited shares held by the Bank to Macquarie International Holdings Limited. This transaction was completed in September 2008.

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2008 includes the operations of TMB Macquarie Securities (Thailand) Ltd. until the date that the Bank sold its shares in this entity in September 2008, and IFCT Advisory Co., Ltd. until the date that IFCT Advisory Co., Ltd. ceased its operations in December 2008.

2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements issued for Thai reporting purposes are prepared in the Thai language. This English translation of the financial statements has been prepared for the convenience of readers not conversant with the Thai language.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Accounting Standard (“TAS”) including related interpretations and guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions and have been presented in accordance with the announcement of the Bank of Thailand dated 3 August 2008 prescribing the preparation of financial statements of commercial banks and holding parent companies of financial services groups, applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand.

The financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, rounded in the notes to the financial statements to the nearest million unless otherwise stated. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except as stated in the accounting policies.

In 2008, the Group adopted the following new and revised TAS which are relevant to its operations:

TAS 25 (revised 2007) Cash Flows Statements

TAS 29 (revised 2007) Leases

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 171 Notes to the financial statements

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

TAS 33 (revised 2007) Borrowing Costs

TAS 35 (revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements

TAS 39 (revised 2007) Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

TAS 41 (revised 2007) Interim Financial Reporting

TAS 43 (revised 2007) Business Combinations

TAS 51 Intangible Assets

The adoption of these new and revised TAS does not have any material impact on the consolidated or Bank only financial statements.

The FAP has issued during 2008 a number of revised TAS which are only effective for financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and have not been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These revised TAS are disclosed in note 5.30.

Accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 are consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 except for the change in accounting policy discussed in Note 4.2 to the financial statements in respect of goodwill arising from business combinations and the provision for off-balance sheet contingencies in respect of performing loans as a provision of obligation. 3 Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TAS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors , including the potential impact on the Group’s operations and financial position of the global economic crisis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

172 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Notes to the financial statements

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

The accounting policies which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments relate to the allowance for doubtful debts, provisions of obligations for non-performing assets, the recovery value of properties foreclosed and the impairment of equity securities. The determination of these items is key to the financial condition and results of operations, and requires management to make complex judgements based on information and financial data that may change in future periods. As a result, determinations regarding these items necessarily involve the use of assumptions and subjective judgements as to future events and are subject to change, as the use of different assumptions or data could produce materially different results.

The identification of impairment and the determination of recoverable amount are an inherently uncertain process involving various assumptions and factors including the financial condition of the counterparty, expected future cash flows, observable market prices and expected net selling prices.

Portfolios of financial assets are collectively evaluated for impairment on the basis of outstanding assets in the portfolio at the balance sheet date and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the portfolio. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data. Where the Bank has a specific plan to manage its non-performing assets, the Bank has estimated recovery value by considering factors such as past sales and the expected rate of return by investors.

The Bank continues to consider a sale of packages of NPLs and NPAs. However given the current depressed market, purchase offers may reflect a significant discount to the expected recovery value to the Bank from retaining, or deferring disposal of, these assets as represented by their current carrying values. The Bank will consider purchase offers against the direct and indirect benefits to it of reducing its total NPL and NPA portfolios.

4 Significant accounting policies

4.1 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements relate to the Bank and its subsidiaries, and the Group’s interest in associates.

Significant intra-group transactions between the Bank and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Bank. Control exists when the Bank has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

Associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised income and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an associate.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

4.2 Changes in accounting policy

The following changes of accounting policy by the Group has no effect on the Bank only financial statements.

Until 31 December 2007, the Group accounted for goodwill arising from a business combination at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation was charged to the statement of income over the estimated useful life of 20 years.

During 2007, the Federation of Accounting Professions issued TAS 43 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” which is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. TAS 43 (revised 2007) requires that the acquirer shall, at the acquisition date, recognise goodwill acquired in a business combination as an asset at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill shall be measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised and is instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

The Group has, accordingly, changed its accounting policy for goodwill prospectively from 1 January 2008. The effect of the change in accounting policy on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 is to reduce the charge to the statement of income resulting from the amortisation of goodwill that would have been recognised under the previous accounting policy by approximately Baht 13 million, with a corresponding increase in reported profit for the period. Management has determined that there is no impairment in the carrying value of goodwill as at 31 December 2008.

4.3 Recognition of income

Interest income and dividend

Interest and discount income on loans are generally recognised on an accrual basis. In accordance with the Bank of Thailand’s regulation, interest in arrears for more than three months, regardless of whether the loans are covered by collateral, is not accrued but is instead recognised as income on a cash basis.

The Bank has reversed accrued interest income on loans which have been recognised as income, for interest in arrears more than three months, in accordance with the Bank of Thailand’s regulations.

Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income on the date that the Bank’s right to receive payments is established.

Fees and service income

Fees and service income (mutual fund management, trading securities, brokerage, advisory and underwriting) are recognised as income when services are rendered.

4.4 Recognition of interest expense

Interest expense on deposits, borrowings, and deferred discount or premium is recognised on an accrual basis. Premiums on currency hedging contracts of borrowings are amortised using the straight-line method over the term of the contracts.

4.5 Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date and applicable to the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

4.6 Loans

Loans (except overdrafts) are shown exclusive of accrued interest receivable. Unearned discounts received in advance on loans are shown as deductions from the loans.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

Investments in receivables are investments in receivables of the subsidiary, Phayathai Asset Management Co., Ltd., which are shown at cost, net of allowances for impairment of investments in receivables and revaluation allowance for debt restructuring. The subsidiary’s accounting policies comply with the Bank of Thailand’s regulations. These procedures require that investments in receivables, if they are restructured debts, must be recorded as loans and receivables at fair value as at the transfer date. The value shall be based on the present value of the future collections according to the restructuring agreements and discounted by the discount rate with the result that the present value of the future collections is equal to the book value of the investments in receivables. Differences between the net book value and the fair value at the transfer date must be shown as a loss on debt restructuring from transferring financial assets in the statement of income.

4.7 Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through methods based on the Bank of Thailand’s regulations and based on the Bank’s estimated loan loss. The Bank provides allowance for doubtful accounts by analysing individual accounts. The allowance for non-performing loans has been specifically determined by the natures of loans and the related factors such as payment ability, collateral, historical loss and estimated loss. The allowance for performing loans has been assessed based upon general related factors such as historical loss, credit risk and management experience. This allowance for performing loans includes the regulatory minimum percentage requirement and allowance for losses which have been incurred but not yet identified. Where the Bank has a specific plan to manage its non-performing loans such as NPL sale, the Bank has estimated recovery value by considering past NPL sales and the expected rate of return by investors.

Under the BOT’s directive, with amended criteria in accordance with the International Accounting Standard No.39 (IAS 39) dated 7 December 2006, the Bank and certain subsidiaries have classified its loan portfolios into six categories, primarily based on the days past due. For loans classified as pass and special mention, the calculation of allowances for doubtful accounts is based on the regulatory minimum percentage requirement, taking into consideration the collateral value, where the collateral type and date of the latest appraisal are qualifying factors. For loans classified as sub-standard, doubtful and doubtful of loss, the allowance on these accounts is set at 100 percent of the difference between the outstanding book value of the debt and the present value of future cashflows expected to be received or the expected proceeds from the disposal of collateral in accordance with the BOT criteria.

Any additional allowances for doubtful accounts are charged to the expense for each period.

The Bank writes off bad debts against the allowance for doubtful accounts for the uncollectible amounts.

Bad debts recovered are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

4.8 Troubled debt restructuring

Foreclosed assets transferred from troubled debt restructuring are recorded at the fair value of the assets net of estimated disposal expenses not exceeding the investment in loans and unearned interest to which the Bank is legally entitled. Where restructuring a loan involves modification of its terms, the present value of the future cash flows expected to be received from those customers is calculated by using discount rates equivalent to the market rates at the time of restructuring. The difference between this and the outstanding balances of investment in loans is recorded as an allowance for revaluation on debt restructuring in the balance sheet. This allowance for revaluation is amortised to the statement of income according to the amounts received over the remaining period of the debt restructuring contract.

4.9 Investments

The Bank classifies debt instruments and marketable equity securities as trading securities, available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity debt instruments, and classifies non-marketable equity securities as general investments or investments in subsidiary or associated companies.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries and associates in the Bank only financial statements are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method.

Investments in debt and equity securities

Debt securities and marketable equity securities held for trading are classified as current investments and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the statement of income.

Debt securities (including non-negotiable promissory notes availed by FIDF and received on the transfer of impaired assets to Thai Asset Management Corporation) that the Group intends and is able to hold to maturity are stated at amortised cost less impairment losses. The difference between the acquisition cost and redemption value of such debt securities is amortised using the effective interest rate method over the period to maturity.

Debt securities and marketable equity securities, other than those securities held for trading or intended to be held to maturity, are classified as being available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised directly in equity. The exceptions are impairment losses and gains or losses from transfer investment, which are recognised in the statement of income. When these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income. Where these investments are interest-bearing, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of income.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

Equity securities which are not marketable are stated at cost less impairment losses.

The fair value of financial instruments classified as held-for-trading and available-for-sale for equity securities is determined at the quoted bid price at the balance sheet date.

The market values of debt instruments in government securities are computed using the Thai Bond Market Association’s yield curve.

The market values of debt instruments in the domestic market are based on the market values appraised by reliable institutions, by using yields of those debt instruments, or by computations based on the Thai Bond Market Association’s yield curve, adjusted by an appropriate risk factor. The institutions performing appraisals have to provide written documentation of the basis of their appraisal.

Disposal of investments

On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount together with the associated cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is recognised in the statement of income.

If the Group disposes of part of its holding of a particular investment, the deemed cost of the part sold is determined using the weighted average method applied to the carrying value of the total holding of the investment.

4.10 Properties foreclosed

Immovable properties foreclosed acquired from debt settlement before 2002 are stated at the lower of appraised value or book value of the related debts, and immovable properties foreclosed acquired from debt settlement after 2002 are recognised at the fair value less expected direct selling expenses, not exceeding the investment in loans and unearned interest to which the Bank is legally entitled. The assets bought from public auction are recognised at purchase price plus transfer costs, less expected direct selling expenses.

Where the Bank has a specific plan to sell immovable properties foreclosed, the Bank will assess the expected recovery value of the immovable properties foreclosed according to their grade (based on attributes such as location, available utilities, and potential property usage), number of years holding and market demand. The recovery values are assessed individually for higher value properties. Other properties are assessed on portfolio basis and grouped according to their grade and number of years holding. Then, the discount rates will be applied to the properties based on their grade and number of years holding. The discount used is based on historical selling data and market demand.

Loss on impairment is charged to the statement of income. Gains or losses on the sales of properties foreclosed are recognised in the statement of income upon disposal.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 4.11 Premises and equipment

Owned assets

Land and buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses except for land and buildings which are stated at their revalued amounts. The revalued amount is the fair value determined on the basis of the property’s existing use at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Revalued assets

Revaluations are performed by independent professional valuers with sufficient regularity in compliance with the Bank of Thailand’s notification to ensure that the carrying amount of these assets does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date.

Any increase in value, on revaluation, is credited to equity under the heading ‘revaluation surplus’ unless it offsets a previous decrease in value recognised in the statement of income in respect of the same asset. A decrease in value is recognised in the statement of income to the extent it exceeds an increase previously recognised in equity in respect of the same asset. Upon disposal of a revalued asset, any related revaluation surplus is transferred from equity to retained earnings and is not taken into account in calculating the gain or loss on disposal.

Depreciation

Depreciation of buildings and equipment is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of assets as follows:

Depreciation of buildings (including surplus on revaluation) is computed using the straight-line method over their remaining useful lives, (total useful lives are not more than 50 years), as assessed by independent appraisal companies. Depreciation is included in premises and equipment expenses.

Depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method over their useful lives of 3-10 years.

No depreciation is provided on land, assets under construction or installation work.

Depreciation of fixed assets of overseas branches is computed at rates specified by the laws applicable in each locality at 20-25% of cost.

4.12 Intangible assets

Goodwill (see note 4.2)

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an interest in a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition.

Acquisitions prior to 1 January 2008 Goodwill represents the amount recognised under the Group’s previous accounting policy under which goodwill was stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

In 2008 goodwill is not amortised and is instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

4.13 Impairment

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and when indicators of impairment are identified.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income unless it reverses a previous revaluation credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity.

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the value of the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income even though the financial asset has not been derecognised. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in the statement of income is the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the statement of income.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in held-to-maturity securities and receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.

The recoverable amount of available-for-sale financial assets is calculated by reference to the fair value.

The recoverable amount of non-financial assets is the greater of the assets’ net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversals of impairment

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets carried at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in the statement of income. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of other non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

4.14 Provident fund

The Bank, subsidiary companies and its permanent employees established contributory provident funds for its employees. Membership to the funds is on a voluntary basis. Contributions are made monthly by the employees at rates ranging from 2% to 10% of their basic salaries and by the Bank and subsidiary companies at 5% to 10% of the employees’ basic salaries. The provident funds are registered with the Ministry of Finance as juristic entities and are managed by a licensed fund manager and are therefore not presented in the balance sheets.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 4.15 Provisions

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are deter- mined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Provisions for contingent liabilities

Where accounts have been classified as substandard, doubtful, doubtful of loss and loss, the Bank provides provision for the off-balance sheet contingencies which are high credit risk such as loan guarantees, avals or commitments irrevocable by financial institutions. The provision rate for such off-balance sheet items will be equal to the allowance rate for loans in that particular case.

The Bank provides provision for the off-balance sheet contingencies on performing loans since 30 June 2008 and for letter of guarantees which were claimed.

4.16 Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the buying and selling rates specified by the Bank when the transactions occur.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Thai Baht at the reference rates announced by the Bank of Thailand at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of income.

The financial statements of overseas branches are translated at the reference rates announced by the Bank of Thailand at the period end. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in a separate component of equity until disposal of the investments, except for the Cayman Islands Branch for which the foreign exchange difference arising on translation is included in the statement of income.

4.17 Derivative financial instruments

Trading derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 remeasured at fair value by using the market price. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the statement of income.

The fair value of derivatives is determined based on market price, if available, derived from reliable sources. If mar- ket price is not available, the fair value is derived from using valuations incorporating the market data from reliable sources. The market price or market data are mainly based on exchange-traded prices, broker/dealer quotations, or counterparties quotations.

For the Bank’s management of Banking book, financial derivatives in the form of interest rate contracts such as interest rate swaps are recognised on an accrual basis. Foreign currency funding of financial derivatives such as currency / FX swaps are recognised on an amortisation basis. The difference between the forward rate and the spot rate at the contract date is recognised as income or expense using the straight-line method over the period of the contract.

4.18 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows include cash on hand and cash in the process of collection.

On 9 October 2006, the Bank entered into an agreement with Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“BAM”) for the transfer of non-performing assets (NPA). The transfer price would be prorated by the appraised value of each property varied by the liquidity condition of the asset. This is in compliance with the Bank of Thailand Direc- tive, Re: “Requirements and Operation Procedures for Asset Management Companies” dated 27 November 2000, and the Royal Decree on Asset Management Companies, B.E. 2541. The Bank is required to complete the clas- sification of NPA within 120 days from the agreement-signing date. BAM will examine the assets before confirming to the Bank the purchase price on individual assets within 30 days from the date of asset classification made by the Bank. The Bank and BAM will enter into a sale and purchase agreement within 30 days from the signing date of the NPA transfer agreement. Payment for NPA will be in the form of non-interest bearing promissory notes. The term of the promissory notes will depend upon the liquidity of the NPA transferred.

For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007, the Bank entered into sale and purchase agreements with BAM (transferee) to sell NPA totaling Baht 266 million and Baht 1,482 million, respectively at net book value (net of al- lowance for impairment) with related gain of Baht 0.11 million and related loss of Baht 331 million, respectively.

Restrictions on dividend payments

Payment of dividends by the Bank is regulated by law and is also subject to the discretion of its Board of Directors, and will depend on, among other things, its earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors. Under Thai law, the Bank may only pay dividends if its retained earnings are positive, even if a net profit is recorded in the current year.

In accordance with the Bank of Thailand’s announcement regarding bad or doubtful assets, the Bank is not allowed to pay any dividends to the shareholders during any period in which the bad or irrecoverable assets have not been written off or an allowance for doubtful assets has not been fully provided.

According to the Bank of Thailand’s announcement on guidelines for commercial banks dividend payments, commercial banks should not take unrealised profit or profit that is not based on actual cash flow to make dividend payments such as profit from mark-to-market securities value, or any profit deriving from the reclassifying of financial assets or the profit sharing from associated and subsidiary companies. Commercial banks should not make dividend payments out of profit from the sale of assets, which is not actually completed, and which may result in abnormal profit or loss, nor out of the sale of properties foreclosed where repurchase conditions are part of the arrangement.

Surplus on revaluation of fixed assets

The Bank completed the revaluation of its lands and buildings during the quarter ended 30 September 2008. As at the date of revaluation, the surplus on asset revaluation increased by Baht 2,101 million while there was an increase in allowance for impairment losses on lands and buildings of Baht 48 million. This allowance for impairment losses was recorded as loss on impairment of assets in the statement of income. The Bank will include the appreciation in value of premise in Tier 2 capital after the BOT’s approval.

As at 31 December 2008 and 2007 the surplus on revaluation of fixed assets represented the surplus on land re- valuation of Baht 3,115 million and Baht 1,869 million, respectively, and the surplus on building revaluation of Baht 2,174 million and Baht 1,381 million, respectively, (net of accumulated depreciation of Baht 1,335 million and Baht 454 million, respectively). The land and building revaluation was assessed by independent appraisal companies.

Legal reserve

Section 116 of the Public Companies Act B.E. 2535 requires that a company shall allocate not less than 5% of its annual net profit, less any accumulated losses brought forward (if any), to a reserve account (“legal reserve”), until this account reaches an amount not less than 10% of the registered authorised capital. The legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution.

5.18 Income tax

The current income tax expense in the consolidated and the Bank only statements of income is less than the amount determined by applying the Thai corporation income tax rate to the accounting profit for the year principally because unutilised tax losses brought forward from the previous years have been utilised during the year to set-off against the current year’s taxable income.

The income tax expense for the previous year in the consolidated and the Bank only statements of income related to the profit of the Bank’s subsidiaries and foreign branches. The losses suffered by the Bank only and certain sub- sidiaries cannot be set-off against the profit of the Bank’s other subsidiaries and foreign branches.

Litigation

As at 31 December 2008, legal proceedings under guarantees and other claims had commenced against the Group and the Bank in 195 cases and 182 cases, respectively (2007 : 200 cases and 191 cases, respectively) with an amount claimed of approximately Baht 18,488 million and Baht 13,735 million, respectively (2007 : Baht 22,532 million and Baht 18,188 million, respectively). As at 31 December 2008, the Group and the Bank recognised provisions for contingent loss from legal cases of approximately Baht 975 million and Baht 959 million, respectively (2007 : Baht 936 million). Management has concluded that such provisions are adequate to cover any possible loss from these legal cases.

In addition, the Bank is the defendant to a claim for approximately Baht 140,261 million arising from a guarantee allegedly issued by the Bank. The court rejected this claim, and the judgment is now being appealed. Management has been counseled that the appeal has no merit and is very unlikely to succeed. Management accordingly believes that the Bank will have no material liability in this case.

The Bank issued a letter of guarantee to a foreign bank in accordance with a share purchase contract dated 3 April 1996 in the proportion of its shareholding percentage of 10% amounting to Hong Kong Dollar 73 million and USD 0.07 million. As at 31 December 2008 and 2007 the outstanding amount, in proportion with the shareholding percentage, is Hong Kong Dollar 4 million.

As at 31 December 2008 and 2007 there were commitments with listed companies under rehabilitation plans of Baht nil and Baht 1 million, respectively.

5.25 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise.

Accounting policies

Details of significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenue and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in Note 4.

Risk Management Approach

The Bank has set up its risk management structure in order to efficiently manage its core risks i.e. credit, market, operational, liquidity, reputational and strategic risks. Various risk policies and procedures have been established to provide common guidelines and standards to be applied consistently across the Bank.

The Bank manages its risks under the following key principles: core risks must be identified, measured, monitored, reported, analysed and controlled; business activities are managed under a risk-return framework to ensure that risks undertaken are commensurate with an appropriate return.

The Bank risk governance structure consists of the Risk Management Committee (RMC) and senior management risk committees which provide forums to discuss specific risk areas: Asset and Liabilities Management Committee (ALCO), the Credit Policy Committee, the Operational Risk Management Committee and the Chief Executive Com- mittee. The RMC has been delegated by the Board of Directors to review and oversee the management of all risks across the enterprise and is authorised to approve the Bank’s overall risk management strategies, policies, frameworks and standards, as well as aggregate risk tolerance and risk concentration levels.

While business units are primarily responsible for managing risks, all the risk management related functions are under the stewardship of the Chief Risk Officer (CRO). There are dedicated units for market risk management, credit risk management and operational risk management which are responsible for establishing firm-wide risk management policies and guidelines, act as centres for risk management activities and assumes the following roles: to develop and maintain risk management policies; to propose risk strategy and recommend risk appetite to top management for approval, and to monitor, control and report risk levels to top management.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party or an obligor or an issuer will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Bank. This potential earnings volatility is caused by the inability or unwillingness of an obligor to fulfill its contractual obligations. Credit exposure mainly arises from lending and derivatives activities, payment transactions and securities settlements.

Credit Policies/Framework

The Bank’s credit risk appetite and strategy are approved by the Risk Management Committee. To properly manage credit risk, the Bank has put in place the Core Credit Risk Policies (CCRP) and frameworks in order to ensure that credit decisions are prudently made and make credit risk management an integrated part of all credit-related business processes. All relevant Business Units and Support Units are required to formulate their own specific policies and supplementary policies under the CCRP. The Bank has also established policies to ensure diversification of its credit portfolio to address various concentration risks covering single exposure concentration risk on a group basis that is economically interdependent, industry/business sector concentration risk and country exposure concentration risk.

Credit Approval Process

In managing credit risk, the Bank segregates the roles and responsibilities of the credit marketing function from the credit granting function to ensure proper checks and balance. Individual credit risk is analysed and assessed by experienced credit officers and approved by an appropriate authority depending on the size and risk levels of credit requested.

The Bank has contingent liabilities by issuing loan payment guarantees, and other forms of guarantee as well as issuing letters of credit and endorsing aval on commercial bills and notes for its customers. Such contingent transaction activities require assessment on financial condition of customers in the same manner as those for direct lending. The Bank normally demands the placement of adequate collateral by customers in various forms including, for example, bank deposits, securities and personal/corporate guarantees. The Bank also makes it a standard practice to set credit terms and conditions to mitigate the elements of risk in the same manner as for other credit granting procedures.

Credit Quality Review

The Bank has set up Credit Quality Review Department independent from credit processes to provide on-going surveillance on potential credit quality deterioration trend. An independent review of the credit quality function is fully dedicated to identifying early-warning signs of changes in portfolio quality and providing senior management with insight and in-depth information on the quality of the credit portfolio, weaknesses of policies, processes and procedures together with corrective and protective recommendations. Changes and improvements to relevant credit policies, procedures and processes could be made based on lessons-learned recommendations to relevant parties.

Market risk

Market risk refers to the risk of the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and prices of equity securities, all of which have a strong impact on the Bank’s assets and liabilities including off-balance sheet items.

The ALCO holds the responsibility to ensure that bank-wide market risk management follows the relevant risk policies and levels of risk appetite. The Bank classifies the overall market risk into 2 parts: trading book and banking book. The Bank has set a policy to set standards on the book definitions and classification criteria.

Market risk in the trading book: The trading market risk consists of market risk from financial instruments, equities and derivatives which are held with trading intent, as well as Bank-wide currency risk. The Bank manages all the trading market risks within the guidelines set under the established Trading Market Risk Management Policy including setting up the appropriate risk appetite.

Market risk in the banking book: This risk consists of market risk embedded in the Bank’s on and off-balance sheet structure, and derivatives designated to hedge other banking book items. The Bank has developed a Balance Sheet Risk Management Policy, which outlines the approach towards managing such market risk and setting the maximum risk limit in a way which is appropriate to the Bank’s balance sheet structure. The Bank also regularly employs the tools set under the policy to analyse the impact of changes in the market environment to the Bank’s balance sheet as part of the practice of asset and liability management.

Risk from changes in price of equities

Risk from changes in price of equities is any risk that arises from changes in price of equities that may cause volatility in the Bank’s earnings or value of financial assets.

Equities portfolio management of the Bank is managed under the Investment Banking Group, and overseen by the Investment Committee (IC) and / or Chief Executive Committee (CEC). (All equity investment must comply with the bank-wide Investment Policy and Framework, and related risk policies.) The Consideration criteria for equity investments includes consideration on risk factors such as on credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk. Various limits are set including Gross Investment Limits and Loss Limit Levels. All of these measures are established to ensure that securities investments comply with policies and remain within approved limits and that the impact on capital adequacy is also taken into consideration. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that arises if the Bank fails to meet its obligation when due as assets cannot be liquidated into cash at current market prices in time or from an inability to raise funds deemed adequate by management to the Bank’s operations.

The Bank’s ALCO is responsible for the oversight of liquidity management. Its main purposes are to maintain the Bank’s liquidity level as required by the Bank of Thailand’s regulations and to ensure that the Bank’s liquidity position is sufficient for the Bank’s normal operations as well as at any critical situation that may arise. In addition, ALCO is also responsible for considering appropriate funding sources to cope with the change in market situation. The Corporate Treasury Group (CTG) is the Bank’s unit tasked with monitoring, assessing, reporting as well as proposing fund raising strategies to ALCO under the liquidity risk management policy. The policy is reviewed once a year or as and when necessary to ensure that it is appropriate for all situations.

Liquidity limits/guidelines are established to manage and control liquidity risk. Maturity profile reports based on contractual and behavioral maturity dates are routinely prepared. MCO (Maximum Cumulative Outflows) are established to measure the Bank’s biggest liquidity shortfall at a particular point in time, enabling future planning such as liquid assets and credit line assessments to be done to prepare liquidity reserves. In addition, liquidity assessments for critical situations are set up in order to deal with unexpected situations. A Contingency Liquidity Plan has been established and acknowledged by the Board of Directors (BOD) to prepare the Bank for crisis situations.

The Bank uses a standard risk management computer software program to process data from the Bank’s own database and to collect historical data to forecast customer behaviour.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 Derivative financial instruments risk

In the normal course of business, the Bank uses derivative financial instruments to serve the needs of its customers and to manage its exposure against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

These instruments allow the Bank and its customers to transfer, modify or reduce their foreign exchange and interest rate risks.

The Bank has established risk policies and limits, reporting lines and control procedures to manage and control its derivative activities. Risk control functions are independent from the trading units.

Settlement risk related to financial derivatives are managed as part of the overall credit limits granted to customers. To control the level of credit risk taken, the Bank assesses counterparties using the same techniques as for lending decisions.

The notional amounts of certain types of financial instruments provide a basis for comparison with instruments 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 price risks. The derivative instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates or foreign exchange rates relative to their terms. Therefore, the extent to which the financial derivative instruments are favourable or unfavourable can fluctuate significantly from time to time.

Methods and assumptions in estimating market value or fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

- Cash and interbank and money market items (assets)

The fair value approximates the carrying value.

- Securities purchased under resale agreements

The fair value approximates the carrying value.

- Investments in securities - net

The fair value of investments in securities is disclosed in Notes 4.9 and 5.3

- Loans and accrued interest receivable

The fair value is based on the carrying value of loans and accrued interest receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts as most loans are floating rate loans.

- Customers’ liabilities under acceptances

The fair value approximates the carrying value.

- Deposits

The fair value is based on the carrying value of deposits, except for the fair value of fixed rate deposits with remaining maturities greater than 1 year which is estimated by using a discounted cash flow calculation applying interest rates currently being offered on such or similar deposits.

- Interbank and money market items (liabilities)

The fair value is based on the carrying value of interbank and money market items, except for the fair value of fixed rate deposits with remaining maturities greater than 1 year which is estimated by using a discounted cash flow calculation applying interest rates currently being offered on such or similar deposits.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

- Securities sold under repurchase agreements

The fair value approximates the carrying value.

- Borrowings

The fair value approximates the carrying value except for fixed rate borrowings with remaining maturities greater than 1 year which is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

- Bank’s liabilities under acceptances

The fair value approximates the carrying value.

- Derivatives

The fair value approximates the market value.

Operational risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and reputational risk.

The Bank has developed an Operational Risk Management Framework to ensure that the operational risks are properly identified, measured, monitored, reported, analysed and controlled in a systematic and consistent manner. The framework consists of an Operational Risk Governance Structure, Operational Risk Management Policies which cover all Basel II loss event categories, other supplementary policies, and three Operational Risk Tools; Control Self Assessment (CSA), Key Risk Indicators (KRI), and Loss Data Collection and Incident Management.

Business and Support Units are primarily responsible and accountable for their own Operational Risk Management and Control. The Bank has appointed a number of Unit Operational Risk Managers (UORM) in the Business and Support Units who, with support from the Operational Risk Management Department, take on / carry out the Operational Risk Management responsibilities of their respective units.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

Other major Operational Risk Mitigation Programs/Mechanisms include Product and Service Approval Process (PSAP), Outsourcing Risk Management, and Business Continuity Planning (BCP).

To ensure that products and services are offered in a safe manner, the PSAP is established to set guidelines for sign-off and approval of new products and services. This due diligence process ensures that the risks created by the new products and services are properly identified and addressed and the necessary infrastructure and controls are in place to support the new business.

The Bank has established the Outsourcing Risk Management Policy to set out the principles and standards for the effective identification of the major risks created by outsourcing and the management of such risks.

The Bank has established the Business Continuity Management Policies and Standards to provide guidance and standards for all units to develop a BCP. The Business Continuity Management Office is set up to oversee the implementation of BCM Policies and Standards and monitor BCM readiness of the Group and lead the co-ordination of group-wide BCP initiatives to raise the overall BCP readiness of the Bank.

5.26 Sale of loans to Thai Asset Management Corporation (“TAMC”)

In accordance with the conditions of the Emergency Decree on the Thai Asset Management Corporation B.E. 2544, the Bank and its subsidiaries entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement with TAMC in 2001 for sales of sub-standard quality assets to TAMC and the Bank and its subsidiaries had received promissory notes from TAMC for the trans- fers (see Note 5.3). Under the agreement, TAMC and the transferors are jointly responsible for sharing the profits or losses from TAMC’s managing of the non-performing assets, in accordance with the conditions specified in the agreements, at the end of the fifth year and at the end of the tenth year commencing 1 July 2001.

In the case of losses, the transferors will be responsible for the first portion of losses, not exceeding 20% of the transfer price. The second portion of losses, not exceeding 20% of the transfer price, will be equally shared between TAMC and the transferors. The remaining losses will be absorbed by TAMC.

In case of profits, the first portion of profits, not exceeding 20% of the transfer price, will be equally shared between TAMC and the transferors. Should there be any profits remaining, the transferors are entitled to the remaining profits up to an amount not exceeding the book value of non-performing assets less the transfer price and the transferors’ share in the first portion of the profits.

In 2006, TAMC informed the Bank and its subsidiaries of its loss sharing at the end of fifth year of Baht 730 million The Bank and its subsidiaries had recognised potential loss sharing from TAMC of above amount as provision for contingent liability. In addition, the Bank had been informed of an adjustment to the transferred price for non-

302 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Notes to the financial statements

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

performing assets being pledged machinery of Baht 4,341 million in November 2006. The Bank denied such adjustment with the reason of default on assets transferring agreement dated 12 October 2001 by TAMC, therefore it may not force by law. The Bank, however had recorded potential loss from the adjustment of machinery of Baht 4,341 million as a provision for contingent liability.

At present, the Bank has commenced legal proceedings against TAMC.

As at 31 December 2008 and 2007, the Bank and its subsidiaries have estimated the present value of expected loss sharing from TAMC (excluding provision for contingent liability on an adjustment to the transfer price for previously pledged machinery, as discussed above) as at the end of the tenth year in the consolidated financial statements at the amount of Baht 1,240 million and Baht 1,228 million, respectively, and in the Bank’s financial statements at the amount of Baht 1,201 million and Baht 1,198 million, respectively, by considering the report from TAMC on the status of transferred assets and other historical information related to non-performing assets management. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of expected future loss is equal to the rate of return on assets or financial instruments having similar properties. The cumulative provisions for contingent liability (including provi- sion for contingent liability on an adjustment to the transfer price on previously pledged machinery) is Baht 5,857 million in the consolidated financial statements and Baht 5,818 million in the Bank’s financial statements.

Phayathai Asset Management Company Limited (“the subsidiary”) was registered with the Ministry of Commerce on 9 August 2000 and registered with the Bank of Thailand to operate as an asset management company on 1 September 2000. The Bank holds approximately 100% of the share capital of the subsidiary.

At 31 December 2008 and 2007, the Bank had obligations to register the transfer of ownership of the transferred assets, referred to below.

Under conditions of the asset transfers, the Bank (transferor) delivers the documents relating to these assets to the subsidiary company (transferee) within 30 days from the transfer date (the date stated in the contract to transfer non-performing assets). The contracting parties can agree to extend the delivery period. The transferor or transferee has the right to revise the transfer prices of such assets within 180 days from the transfer date.

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

The sale of assets by Phayathai Asset Management Company Limited

On 3 September 2003, the subsidiary signed an agreement with Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“BAM”) for the sale of assets as mentioned above. The effective date of the asset transfer was 30 September 2003. The transfer of the assets and their underlying securities was arranged under the provisions of the Emergency Decree on Asset Management Company, B.E. 2541 (1998) allowing the fixing of transfer prices as agreed by the subsidiary and BAM.

At the transfer date, BAM paid the subsidiary the total value of the assets in the form of a negotiable promissory note issued on 30 September 2003 for an amount of Baht 19,533 million, which was the non performing loans amount of Baht 16,634 million and the properties foreclosed amount of Baht 2,899 million, with a maturity date of 30 September 2015. The interest on the promissory note was fixed at a rate equivalent to the weighted average interest rates for all types of Thai Baht deposits at the 5 largest local commercial banks. The first payment is due on the 6th anniversary of the promissory note issuing date while subsequent payments will be on a yearly basis after the first payment until the maturity date. One condition was that endorsement on the promissory note by the transferor to negotiate the promissory note with any party other than the TMB Bank Public Company Limited, the Bank of Thailand or the Financial Institutions Development Fund was non-exercisable. In case of BAM’s decision to go into liquidation before the promissory note’s maturity date, BAM is required to transfer the rights and obligatory commitments over the promissory note to another juristic person as consented to by the subsidiary.

Both the subsidiary and BAM have the right to call for an adjustment to the prices of the transferred assets within 180 days from the transfer date. The price adjustment, if in effect, could be done by issuing an additional promissory note by the subsidiary or by BAM as the case may be.

An agreement was made between the subsidiary and BAM that recognition of profit or loss would be computed at the end of sixth year and twelfth year after the transfer date.

Computation of profit or loss from management is to be made on the value received from the debt collection process. The debt collection can be accumulated on a cash basis until the computation date, only on the debts that are fully settled. The recognition must come from the value received less cost of each asset at the transfer date, administra- tive expenses on each of the debts settled and interest expense on the promissory note. At the end of sixth year and twelfth year from the transfer date, results of the management of assets under the agreement must be shared between BAM and the subsidiary. In case of debt settlement done through asset transfer, recognition of profit or loss only occurs after the asset is successfully disposed off to clear the debt.

In case of a loss from the management of group 1 assets, the subsidiary will absorb the loss of the first 20%. The next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between the subsidiary and BAM. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAM.

304 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 Notes to the financial statements

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

In case of a loss from the management of group 2 assets;

(a) if the transfer prices were not at a discount, the subsidiary will absorb the loss of the first 30% while the next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between the subsidiary and BAM. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAM

(b) if the transfer prices were at a discount of 5%, the subsidiary will absorb the loss of the first 25% while the next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between the subsidiary and BAM. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAM.

(c) if the transfer prices were at a discount of 10%, the subsidiary will absorb the loss of the first 20% while the next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between the subsidiary and BAM. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAM.

(d) if the transfer prices were at a discount of 15%, the subsidiary will absorb the loss of the first 20% while the next 20% of the loss will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between the subsidiary and BAM. The rest of the loss will be absorbed in full by BAM.

In case of a profit from the management of both group 1 and group 2 assets, the first portion of not more than 20% of the transfer prices will be shared equally at a ratio of 1:1 between the subsidiary and BAM and the rest of the profit will be taken by the subsidiary. However, this portion must not be greater than the margin between the book value and the transfer prices. The rest of the profit, if any, will be taken by BAM.

Regarding the transfer of non-performing assets to BAM from 30 September 2003 to the end of year 2005, the subsidiary has transferred its loans and investment in loans of various categories to BAM. These assets were in the forms of loans and debts, both secured and unsecured, as well as properties foreclosed and related assets. The total transfer price was Baht 19,712 million. BAM paid for those assets to the subsidiary in the form of a negotiable promissory note and the subsidiary endorsed the said promissory note to the Bank in settlement of a long-term loan installment.

The subsidiary and BAM agreed an adjustment of Baht 1,011 million to the selling price, accepting the recovery of NPLs and the properties foreclosed to the end of 2005. The subsidiary issued a promissory note to the transferee for Baht 1,011 million in respect of the agreed adjusted price. The subsidiary is waiting to issue a promissory note to BAM for Baht 4 million, which is the difference arising from the sale of properties foreclosed in 2003. In this regard, the subsidiary has recorded the interest expenses on the said promissory notes in the financial statements of the subsidiary for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 of Baht 17 million and Baht 20 million, respectively.

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 305 Notes to the financial statements

TMB Bank Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries For the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007

In the year 2006, the subsidiary and BAM met regarding the loss claims calculation of the subsidiary claimed by BAM on non-performing assets (purchase agreement) with both parties agreeing to examine the loss claims by the end of sixth year or twelfth year with an offset between the claim amount and the cash payment by BAM for promissory notes as noted in the purchase and sale agreement dated 3 September 2003.

As at 31 December 2008 and 2007, the Group estimated the present value of expected loss sharing from BAM as at the end of the twelfth year at the amount of Baht 3,390 million and Baht 3,204 million, respectively, by considering the report from BAM on the status of assets transferred from the subsidiary and other historical information related to non-performing assets management. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of expected future loss is equal to the rate of return on assets or financial instruments having similar properties. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recognised the increase in provision for contingent liability of Baht 186 million as an interest expense in the consolidated statement of income.

5.28 Goodwill

As at 30 June 2007, due to unfavourable results and a sluggish economy, the Bank reviewed the carrying value of goodwill in respect of the businesses transferred from DBS Thai Danu Bank Public Company Limited (“DTDB”) and the Industrial Finance Corporation of Thailand (“IFCT”) for impairment. The Bank compared the projected net book value as at 30 June 2007 to the net present value of forecasted future economic benefits derived from DTDB and IFCT assuming that both financial institutions were still in operation. The Bank also hired an independent financial adviser to advise on the re-evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill.

The Bank projected the net book values of DTDB and IFCT as at 30 June 2007 by adjusting the respective net book values at the merger date by allocating pre-provision profit and shareholder’s equity items such as the unrealised gain / (loss) on revaluation of investments since the merger, based on the net loan proportions of each financial institution. Specific bad debts, doubtful accounts and other expenses were similarly allocated.

In estimating the net present value of forecasted future economic benefits from DTDB and IFCT, the Bank considered the expected economic growth of the country, its economic environment, preliminary impact estimation of Basel 2 implementation, the performance and financial status of the Bank and its peers and the Bank’s business targets. An average long-term growth rate of 6% was assumed in this calculation. The required rate of return from investing in the Bank was used as a discount rate, estimated at 14 - 15%, derived from the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

The result of the impairment review revealed that the projected net book value of DTDB and IFCT was higher than the net present value of forecasted future economic benefits. The Bank therefore wrote off the entire amount of goodwill relating to DTDB and IFCT as at 30 June 2007.

(“DTDB”) (which has now merged with TMB, hence all of the rights and obligations has been transferred to TMB) as the 1st defendant together with 16 directors with regards to the violation of guarantee agreement, and claimed for compensation of about Baht 140.261 billion. The court accepted only the claim against DTDB and dismissed the claim against all the directors.

Pursuant to the claim by LBP, LBP had contacted and entered into agreement with Bangchak Petroleum Plc. (BCP) regarding oil purchase. DTDB, Ladprao Branch, by Mrs. Panee Boonnak (Mrs. Panee), is claimed to have issued a letter of guarantee (L/G) to LBP to guarantee the trading of oil with BCP in an amount of up to Baht 200 million. Later, BCP informed LBP that an account for the trading of oil with LBP could not be opened as, upon examination of the L/G, DTDB was not the issuer of the L/G. DTDB then requested to have the L/G returned to be used in bringing a criminal case against its staff. LBP deems that DTDB’s denial of being the issuer of the L/G is considered as a violation of the agreement with LBP and has caused damage to LBP.

DTDB defended the case that the L/G was fraudulently issued. Mrs. Panee, DTDB’s Assistant Branch Manager, issued the L/G upon LBP’s request, without the due authorization of DTDB. Furthermore, as regards the case which DTDB together with the public prosecutor were plaintiffs bringing a criminal case against Mrs. Panee, the final judgment was passed and the court ruled that the L/G was a forgery. Therefore, in informing BCP that DTDB was not the issuer of the L/G, DTDB could not be deemed as having violated the agreement and did not do any harm to LBP.

On December 29, 2004, the Southern Bangkok Civil Court passed a judgment for the red case no. 10000/ 2547 that the L/G used by LBP in the litigation was the L/G fraudulently issued by Mrs. Panee without the due

T M B B a n k P u b l i c C o m p a n y L i m i t e d 315 authorization of DTDB. Moreover, the final judgment was already passed for the case which DTDB together with the public prosecutor were plaintiffs bringing a criminal case against Mrs. Panee regarding the issue of the L/G. The criminal court ruled that such L/G was a forgery and that DTDB was not the issuer of the L/G to LBP. Therefore, DTDB did not have to be liable for the L/G. The Southern Bangkok Civil Court, in this regard, dismissed the claim.

Later, on March 15, 2005, LBP appealed this judgment to the Appellate Court, and on August 31, 2005, TMB defended the case. The Appellate Court has yet to decide the matter.

In this respect, the Bank’s Management deems that the claim against the Bank has little merit and is unlikely to succeed; therefore, the Bank will not have to be liable for this case.

Legal disputes in which TMB is plaintiff Apart from the above case, TMB is still engaged in another case of legal dispute in which the Bank is plaintiff. In this regard, the Bank deems it suitable to inform the investors of the matter. Details of the case are summarized as follows:

Legal dispute between TMB and Thai Asset Management Corporation (TAMC) On April 2, 2007, TMB brought a lawsuit to the civil court against Thai Asset Management Corporation (TAMC) and Financial Institution Development Fund (FIDF) as the 1st and 2nd defendants respectively with regards to the violation of promissory notes and aval, claiming for compensation of about Baht 7.196 billion.

Pursuant to the case that DTDB and the Industrial Finance Corporation of Thailand (IFCT) entered into asset transfer agreements with TAMC. Later, following the Bank’s merger with DTDB and IFCT, all of the rights and obligations under these asset transfer agreements were transferred to the Bank.

Later, TAMC sent a letter requesting downward adjustment of the NPA transfer price comprising machinery and/ or other assets pledged as guarantee on the basis that machinery and/ or other assets pledged as guarantee were not legally perfected. TMB did not consent to this request and sent a letter contradicting such downward adjustment. On July 20, 2006, TAMC informed TMB to return three promissory notes totaling about Baht 6.525 billion to TAMC, as TAMC would like to adjust the amount and redeem the notes via a partial payment. In this respect, TAMC agreed to issue and deliver new promissory notes with aval provided by FIDF to TMB. Therefore, the Bank returned the promissory notes to TAMC. However, TAMC did not comply with the agreement, i.e. TAMC would not issue and deliver new promissory notes with aval provided by FIDF to TMB.

Moreover, on November 14, 2006, TAMC did not make debt repayment of about Baht 520 million to TMB, refused to make a partial payment and revoked one promissory note with aval provided by FIDF for the partial payment of the transfer price of the NPAs.

316 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 8 On April 2, 2007, the Bank therefore initiated legal proceedings against TAMC and FIDF to the Civil Court to seek the following relief from the Court. Details are summarized as follows:

1. TAMC to issue a promissory note of about Baht 4.432 billion avaled by FIDF with a maturity date on December 31, 2012 and with interest to be payable on the last business day of every year to TMB which is entitled to the payment. If TAMC and FIDF fail to do this, they are required to jointly pay such amount plus interest from the date of the court filing.

2. TAMC to issue a promissory note of about Baht 2.027 billion avaled by FIDF with a maturity date on October 31, 2011 and with interest to be payable on the last business day of every year to TMB which is entitled to the payment. If TAMC and FIDF fail to do this, they are required to jointly pay such amount plus interest from the date of the court filing.

3. TAMC to issue a promissory note of about Baht 12 million avaled by FIDF with a maturity date on February 28, 2013 and with interest to be payable on the last business day of every year to TMB which is entitled to the payment. If TAMC and FIDF fail to do this, they are required to jointly pay such amount plus interest from the date of the court filing.

4. TAMC and FIDF to jointly pay about Baht 520 million plus interest calculated from the average deposit interest rate until the date of the court filing amounting to about Baht 15 million, hence a total amount of about Baht 535 million plus interest from the date of the court filing onwards.

The case is now under the consideration of the Civil Court.

In this regard, if TMB loses the cases, its NPA transfer price will be adjusted downward by about Baht 4.341 billion. Therefore, the Bank has already recognized provisions on contingent loss in full amount.
