CIMB BERHAD GROUP It has been an eventful year for the CIMB Berhad Group in terms of its evolution into Malaysia’s premier investment bank and in the context of its structure within the Commerce Group. We announced in June 2002 of our intention to list CIMB Berhad on the Main Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. The listing route would be through initially CAHB acquiring the shares in CIMB held by its minority shareholders followed by a restricted offer for sale to the Minority Shareholders of CAHB of CIMB Berhad, the chosen listed vehicle.

On 1 November 2002, shareholders of CAHB approved the listing of CIMB Berhad on the Main Board of the KLSE and all related proposals at an Extraordinary General Meeting. The price for the IPO was fixed on 20 November 2002 at RM1.75 with 17 institutions participating as underwriters. The prospectus was launched on 2 December 2002 which was followed by a 10-day road show by the management of CIMB Berhad in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The restricted offer for sale was oversubscribed with strong institutional demand. Institutional investors took up 84 percent of the Restricted Offer with local and foreign institutions accounting for 56 and 28 percent respectively of the Offer. CIMB Berhad was listed on the Main Board of the KLSE on 8 January 2003 opening with a reasonable premium on its debut at RM1.88 per share and closing at RM1.78 per share despite difficult market conditions.

Post listing, CAHB’s stake in CIMB Berhad was approximately 75 percent. CIMB had reached a stage in its development that for it to expand and grow further, it had to have direct access to equity capital market. CIMB at the start of 2002 remodeled its organisation structure from a merchant banking mould to an investment banking structure. The benefits of the reorganisation outweighed initial operational disruptions especially in terms of obtaining several important mandates due to stronger client coverage and value proposition.

Being a country highly dependent on trade, Malaysia is vulnerable to the economic performance of its trading partners. One of the thrusts of the Budget is to jump-start the feebling domestic sector through various measures and incentives and to find new sources of growth so as to reduce the high dependency on FDIs and exports. These measures/incentives, we believe will contribute towards stimulating private spending more in the medium and long-term rather than in the near term. Thus, the budget measures would only have a mild impact on the economy in the near term. An expansionary fiscal stance is still needed in the near term to support the economy until the private sector regains more strength. 50 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

human resource transformation project (HRTP) and e-HR: a human resource initiative

Always aware that managing performance is key to maintaining competitiveness, BCB once again is set to meet the business challenges of increased competition, changes in customer expectation, globalisation, mergers and acquisition, when it formulated the HR Initiative 2003. The initiative focused on three key areas i.e Productivity improvement, Service quality, and Reduction of operational cost. As rightly stated by the BCB’s ED and COO, that the only way forward is to start measuring productivity, and measuring group productivity will have to start from the grassroots level, i.e the individual level. Measuring individual performance is also crucial in ensuring group performance and productivity.

Productivity comes with reward, and reward cannot come without measurement. Two very important initiatives HR is currently embarking on to improve productivity - HRTP and e-HR - are aimed at ensuring that BCB remain competitive. HRTP is aimed at improving effectiveness, and e-HR at efficiency. HRTP is the enabler for greater effectiveness. It aims to transform employees to be better able to assimilate a culture that is performance-driven, by creating a meaningful and rewarding work environment for the employees. It will also enable BCB to better manage the four components of effective HR Delivery - Acquiring, Compensating, Developing and Managing Employees - to create performance-driven employees and improve BCB’s performance.

The project scope encompasses: • Policy enhancement • System and delivery of services • Quality assurance

e-HR is on the other hand, the enabler for greater efficiency. The Project is part of the larger picture to transform BCB into being fully automated so as to increase internal efficiencies. This will eventually result in better service and delivery. e-HR focuses on: • Timely update of data • Automated administration reports • Linkages between applications

The challenges demand that in order for BCB to stay competitive, it needs to improve our efficiencies and effectiveness. 56 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W) investor information

Commerce Asset-Holding Berhad’s Acquisition of Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Berhad and the Composite Merger Scheme was ranked third best Asian M&A Deal by Finance Asia Magazine.

In the cover story for the October 2002 issue of the regional publication Finance Asia entitled “Asian M&A Report Card - the Best and Worst M&A Deals”, the Commerce Asset-Holding Berhad acquisition of Bank Bumiputra and the Composite Merger Scheme that led to the creation of Bumiputra-Commerce Bank was cited as the third (3) most successful Merger & Acquisition (M&A) deal in Asia for transactions since 1997 in terms of value creation. The finding was a result of a study involving 42 deals and total value of the transactions in the sample was USD74.523 billion. The final 42 deals were filtered down from an initial base of 2,290 deals after elimination based on certain set criteria such as deals under consideration must be in excess of USD200 million and bidder has to be listed and based in Asia.

The main methodology was to examine shareholders returns since acquisition with the focus being on market capitalisation at various set timelines pre and post acquisition and the relevant percentage returns which was either positive or negative. The most successful deal named by the magazine was the merger of Kookmin Bank with H&CB of Korea followed by the acquisition of POSBank by DBS of Singapore in second place.

The Group is honoured to have been ranked third best among major merger and acquisition deals in Asia in terms of value creation. Being one of the first local Banking group to embark in the domestic merger exercise, Bumiputra-Commerce Bank is now well positioned to respond to key strategic and operational challenges. This recognition will spur BCB and the Commerce Group to strive further to attain excellence and enhance our position as a leading financial services group in Malaysia. For our employees, their hard work and diligence since the merger has in some ways been recognised and this recognition should spur us to greater heights.

BCB has embarked on some key transformation initiatives to face the challenges of a highly competitive environment. These include the operating structure, information technology, human resources, retail business, integrated risk management framework and the outsourcing of non-core activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Before the income statements and balance sheets were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps: (a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts; and (b) to ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business, their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and Company had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances: (a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the provisions for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or (b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and Company misleading; or (c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and Company misleading or inappropriate.

No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and Company to meet their obligations when they fall due.

At the date of this report, there does not exist: (a) any charge on the assets of the Group or Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liability of any other person; or (b) any contingent liability of the Group or Company other than disclosed in Note 35 to the financial statements which has arisen since the end of the financial year other than in the ordinary course of business.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

In the opinion of the Directors: (a) the results of the Group’s and Company’s operations for the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature except as disclosed in Note 40 to the financial statements; and (b) except as disclosed in Note 41 to the financial statements, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group or Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

AUDITORS The auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, have expressed their willingness to continue in office.

Commissioner for Oaths 72 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W) report of the auditors to the members of Commerce Asset-Holding Berhad

We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 73 to 157. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved auditing standards in Malaysia. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion: (a) the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965, Bank Negara Malaysia Guidelines and the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of: (i) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements; and

(ii) the state of affairs of the Group and that of Company as at 31 December 2002 and of the results and cash flows of the Group and that of Company for the financial year ended on that date; and

(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by the subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

The names of subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors are indicated in Note 9 to the financial statements. We have considered the financial statements of the subsidiaries and the auditors’ reports thereon.

We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.

The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not include any adverse comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

All significant accounting policies set out below are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year.

A BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Group and the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated in this summary of significant accounting policies.

The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia Guidelines and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.

B BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the audited financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. Intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. The Company adopts both the acquisition and merger methods of consolidation.

When the acquisition method is adopted, the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the Group’s share of fair values of separable net assets of subsidiaries at the date of acquisition is included in the consolidated financial statements as goodwill on consolidation and is amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 25 years. In the case, where the Group’s share of the fair values of their separable net assets at the date of acquisition is in excess of the purchase consideration, the difference will be recognised as reserve on consolidation in the balance sheet. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included from the date of acquisition up to the date of disposal.

The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed annually and written down for impairment where it is considered necessary.

Subsidiaries acquired which have previously met the criteria for merger accounting under the Malaysian Accounting Standard 2, Accounting for Acquisitions and Mergers, are accounted for using merger accounting principles. When the merger method is used, the cost of investment in the Company’s books is recorded as the nominal value of shares issued and the difference between the carrying value of the investment and the nominal value of shares transferred is treated as merger reserves in accordance with merger relief provisions under Section 60(4) of the Companies Act, 1965. The results of the subsidiaries being merged are included for the full financial year.

The current applicable approved accounting standard for business combinations is MASB 21 Business Combinations. This standard is effective for accounting period commencing 1 July 2001. As allowed under the standard, the provisions of the standard are applied prospectively and no retrospective changes have been made.

C SUBSIDIARIES The Company treats as subsidiaries, those companies in which the Company controls the composition of its Board of Directors or more than half of its voting power, or holds more than half of its issued ordinary share capital.

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down to its recoverable amount.

External costs directly attributable to an acquisition, other than cost of issuing shares and other capital instruments, is included as part of the cost of acquisition. COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W) 85

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

D ASSOCIATES The Group treats as an associate, a company in which the Company has a long term equity interest of between 20% to 50% and where the Company can exercise significant influence through management participation. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting.

Premium arising from the acquisition of associates are amortised over 25 years.

Premium arising from the acquisition of those associates held for venture capital purposes are not amortised. The carrying amount of such goodwill is reassessed on a regular basis and written down for impairment if it is considered permanent in nature.

Investments in associates are stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down to its recoverable amount.

The Group’s share of profits and losses of associates is included in the consolidated income statement and the Group’s share of post- acquisition retained profits and reserves are added to the cost of investments in the consolidated balance sheet. These amounts are taken from the latest management financial statements of the associates concerned, made up to the end of the financial year of the Group.

E RECOGNITION OF INTEREST INCOME Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis. Interest income on housing and term loans is recognised by reference to rest periods which are either monthly or yearly. Interest earned on hire purchase, leasing and block discounting agreements is spread over the terms of the loans, using the “Sum-of-Digit” method so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest by reference to monthly rest periods.

Accretion of discount and amortisation of premium for investment securities are recognised on the effective yield basis.

Where an account is classified as non-performing, recognition of interest income is suspended until it is realised on a cash basis. Customers’ accounts are classified as non-performing where repayments are in arrears for 6 months or more from first day of default for loans and overdrafts, and after 3 months from maturity date for trade bills, bankers’ acceptances and trust receipts.

The policy on suspension of interest of Malaysian subsidiary banks is in conformity with Bank Negara Malaysia’s “Guidelines on the Classification of Non-Performing Loans and Provision for Substandard, Bad and Doubtful Debts” (“GP3”) as at 31 December 2002.

F RECOGNITION OF FEES AND OTHER INCOME Loan and advances arrangement fees, management and participation fees, commissions and guarantee fees, acceptance and underwriting commissions are recognised as income when all conditions precedent are fulfilled.

Accretion of investment gain on the debt securities held for investment is recognised on time proportion basis based on the effective yield method.

Portfolio management fees, commitment fees and guarantee fees which are material are recognised as income based on time apportionment.

Brokerage fees which are material are recognised as income based on inception of such transactions.

Fees from advisory and corporate finance activities are recognised as income on completion of each stage of the engagement and issuance of invoice.

Dividends from subsidiaries are recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. Dividends from dealing securities and investment securities are recognised when received. 86 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

G LIFE ASSURANCE REVENUE SURPLUS The surplus transferable from the life assurance fund to the income statement is based on the surplus determined on the basis of an annual actuarial valuation of the long term liabilities to policyholders made in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1996 and as declared by the Company’s appointed actuary as being distributable to shareholders.

H PROVISION FOR BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS Specific provisions are made for doubtful debts which have been individually reviewed and specifically identified as bad or doubtful.

A general provision based on a percentage of the loans portfolio is also made to cover possible losses which are not specifically identified.

An uncollectible loans or portion of loans classified as bad is written off after taking into consideration the realisable value of collateral, if any, when in the judgement of the management, there is no prospect of recovery.

The policy on provision for non-performing debts of Malaysian subsidiary banks is in conformity with the minimum requirements of Bank Negara Malaysia’s “Guidelines on the Classification of Non-Performing Loans and Provision for Substandard, Bad and Doubtful Debts” (“GP3”) as at 31 December 2002.

With regard to provisioning for subordinated debts subscribed by the subsidiary bank arising from its collateralised bond obligation, the subordinated debt is held at cost and a provision is made for any diminution based on the position of the special purpose vehicle and its underlying assets.

I SALE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS Securities purchased under resale agreements are securities which the Group had purchased with a commitment to resell at future dates. The commitment to resell the securities is reflected as an asset in the balance sheet.

Conversely, obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements are securities which the Group had sold from its portfolio, with a commitment to repurchase at future dates. Such financing transactions and the obligation to repurchase the securities are reflected as a liability in the balance sheet.

J DEALING SECURITIES Dealing securities are marketable securities that are acquired and held with the intention of resale in the short term, and are stated at the lower of cost and market value. All related realised gains and losses and unrealised losses are included in the net trading income. Interest earned while holding dealing securities are reported as interest income. Dividends received are included in dividend income.

Transfers, if any, between dealing and investment securities are made at the lower of cost and market value.

K INVESTMENTS SECURITIES Investment securities are securities that are acquired and held for yield or capital growth and are usually held to maturity.

Malaysian Government securities, Malaysian Government treasury bills, Malaysian Government investment certificates, Cagamas bonds, other Government securities and Bank Guaranteed and Bank Negara Malaysia exempted Private Debt Securities held for investment are stated at cost adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount to maturity date. Other private debt securities are valued at the lower of cost and market value. Other investment securities are stated at cost and provision is made in the event of any permanent diminution in value.

Transfers, if any, between investment and dealing securities are made at the lower of cost and market value. COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W) 87

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

L FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Fixed assets are not stated at revalued amount. Freehold land and leasehold land with lease period of 800 years and above and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated. Depreciation of other fixed assets is calculated to write-off the cost of the assets on a straight line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates of depreciation are as follows:- Long-term leasehold land – 50 years or more Over the lease period Short-term leasehold land – less than 50 years Over the lease period Buildings on freehold land 2% – 2.5% Buildings on leasehold land 2.5% or over the balance period of the lease, whichever is shorter 1 Office equipment, furniture and fixtures 10% – 33 /3% 1 Computer equipment and software 20% – 33 /3% 1 Computer equipment and software under lease 33 /3% Motor vehicles 20% Renovations to rented premises 20% or over the period of the tenancy, whichever is shorter General plant and machinery 12.5%

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

M ASSETS PURCHASED UNDER LEASE Finance lease Leases of fixed assets where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised at the estimated present value of the underlying lease payments at the date of inception. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance charges is charged to the income statement over the lease period.

Fixed assets acquired under finance lease contracts are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. If there is no reasonable certainty that the ownership will be transferred to the Group, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

Operating lease Leases of assets under which all the risks and benefits of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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

N ASSETS SOLD UNDER LEASE Finance lease When assets are sold under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a debtor. The difference between the gross debtor and the present value of the debtor is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

Operating lease Assets leased out under operating leases are included in fixed assets in the balance sheet. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar fixed assets. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. 88 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

O BILLS AND ACCEPTANCES PAYABLE Bills and acceptances payable represent the Group’s own bills and acceptances rediscounted and outstanding in the market.

P FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS Unmatured forward exchange contracts are valued at forward rates as at balance sheet date, applicable to their respective dates of maturity, and unrealised losses and gains are recognised in the income statement for the financial year.

Q DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Trading The fair value of trading derivative financial instruments are included in the balance sheet and gains and losses on these instruments are taken directly to the income statement.

Foreign exchange and interest rate forwards, futures and forward purchases and sales of securities entered into for trading purposes are valued at prevailing market rates. Interest rate and currency swap agreements are valued at their net present value.

Hedging Foreign exchange and interest rate forwards, futures and swaps entered into for hedging purposes are accounted for in a manner consistent with the accounting treatment of the hedged item. To qualify as a hedge, the forwards, futures and swaps position must be designated as a hedge and be effective in reducing the market risk of an existing asset, liability, firm commitment, or anticipated transaction where there is a high probability of the transaction occurring and the extent, term and nature of the exposure is capable of being estimated.

Where the hedged item ceases to exist, the corresponding derivative hedge contract is restated at fair value and any resulting unrecognised gains and losses are taken to the income statement.

R COLLATERALISED BOND OBLIGATIONS A subsidiary bank through its collateralised bond obligation (“CBO”) programme, packages and sells Private Debt Securities to a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”). The SPV will in turn issue bonds to raise funds for the purchase of assets.

The subsidiary bank receives fee income for the various services provided to the SPV. These fees are determined on an arms-length basis and are recognised on an accrual basis. Any subordinated debt or bond obtained under this programme is held at cost and a provision is made for any diminution in value based on the position of the SPV and its underlying assets.

S BONDS Bonds issued by the Company are stated at the issue price. When the convertible Bonds are converted, the amount recognised in the shareholders’ funds in respect of the shares issued will be the amount at which the liability for the Bonds is stated as at the date of conversion. No gain or loss will be recognised on conversion.

The premium over the principal amount arising from the put option of the Bonds not previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled, or converted, are provided over the period from the date of initial issue to the date of option to redeem and are set aside to a non- distributable reserve.

Gains or losses on the redemption or purchase of Bonds by the Company are taken to the income statement in the financial year it arises. COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W) 89

for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

T AMOUNT RECOVERABLE FROM DANAHARTA The total consideration from loans sold to Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad (“Danaharta”) is received in two portions; upon the sale of the loans (“initial consideration”) and upon the recovery of the loans (“final consideration”). The final consideration amount represents the subsidiary Bank’s predetermined share of the surplus over the initial consideration upon recovery of the loans.

The difference between the carrying value of the loans and the initial consideration is recognised as “Amount Recoverable from Danaharta” within the “Other assets” component of the balance sheet. Provision against these amounts is made to reflect the Directors’ assessment of the realisable value of the final consideration as at the balance sheet date.

U DEFERRED TAXATION Provision is made, by using the liability method, for taxation deferred in respect of all material timing differences except where the tax effects of such timing differences are expected to be deferred indefinitely. Timing differences that give rise to deferred tax benefits are not recognised.

V SHARE CAPITAL (i) Treasury shares The Company shares repurchased and held are designated as treasury shares. These shares are treated as unissued shares and are presented as a reduction from shareholders’ equity, at cost. Should such shares be cancelled, their nominal amounts will be eliminated and the differences between their cost and nominal amounts will be taken to reserves as appropriate.

(ii) Dividends Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved by shareholders.

W CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS Individual monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are stated in the balance sheet at rates of exchange which closely approximate to those ruling at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency transaction items are translated at rates prevailing on transaction dates. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the income statement in the year they arise.

The financial statements of foreign branches, foreign subsidiaries, foreign subsidiary bank and subsidiary banks incorporated in the Federal Territory of Labuan and related foreign currency borrowings are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The results of these entities are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Exchange differences arising from this translation are dealt with through exchange fluctuation reserve account.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the Company and are translated accordingly at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

The principal closing rates used in translation of foreign currency amounts were as follows: 2002 2001 Foreign currency RM RM

35 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) The Group has also given a continuing guarantee to Bank Negara Malaysia and Labuan Offshore Financial Services Authority to meet the liabilities and financial obligations and requirements of its subsidiaries, Bumiputra-Commerce Bank (L) Limited and CIMB (L) Limited respectively, arising from their offshore banking business in the Federal Territory of Labuan.

Foreign exchange and interest rate related contracts are subject to market risk and credit risk:

Market risk Market risk is the potential change in value caused by movement in market rates or prices. The contractual amounts stated above provide only a measure of involvement in these types of transactions and do not represent the amounts subject to market risk. Exposure to market risk may be reduced through offsetting on and off-balance sheet positions. As at 31 December 2002, the amount of contracts which were not hedged and, hence, exposed to market risk was RM1,226,356,000 (2001: RM2,999,139,000).

Credit risk Credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty may be unable to meet the terms of a contract in which the Group has a gain position. As at end of 2002, the amount of credit risk, measured in terms of the cost to replace the profitable contracts, was RM950,475,000 (2001: RM425,735,000). This amount will increase or decrease over the life of the contracts, mainly as a function of maturity dates and market rates or prices.

44 USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group’s financial risk management policy is adopted from the main operating subsidiaries risk management policies. Various initiatives and development have been formed at the operating subsidiaries in order to identify, measure, control and monitor all identifiable risks.

The Group operates within a clearly defined set of principles and guidelines that are approved by the Board. Various working committees were formed at the operating subsidiaries in carrying out the process to ensure that all identifiable risks are addressed and managed adequately.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the policies to address these financial risks in respect of the major areas of banking activities represented by the commercial banks, namely Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad and PT Bank Niaga Tbk and the investment bank, CIMB Berhad are set out as follows:-

Market risk Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (“BCB”) Market risk is the risk that changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, debt securities and other financial contracts, including derivatives, which will have an adverse financial effect on BCB’s financial condition and result. The Treasury Risk Policy has been established.

Market risk arises in BCB during the course of doing business, which is in the form of trading activities and meeting customer demand, and also in the investment in corporate bonds, either in Private Debt Securities (“PDS”) or in the international bond market where the bonds may be a fixed or floating rate. BCB is also involved in the derivative transactions such as Interest Rate Swap (“IRS”), Currency Swap, Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (“CCIRS”), Assets Swap and Futures. All the derivative transactions are for customer requirements, where they are done back to back with other counterparties.

BCB also sets cut loss limit. The cut loss limit set is by day, month and year, where it also takes into account the realised and unrealised losses. Based on the current low and stable interest, interest rate risk at BCB is currently low. BCB is adopting a strategy by entering a derivative swap transaction to swap the fixed interest rate to floating and to open the repricing into shorter and manageable periods of 3 or 6 months.

44 USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) A Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Market risk (Continued) Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (“BCB”) (Continued) BCB has a Market Risk Management policy governing the trading and other Global Treasury activities. A cut loss limit is set for all trading activities. BCB will in the future be adopting the best practice of VaR methodology in estimating the potential loss over certain confidence interval (“CI”) and over specific time horizon. Stress testing will also be conducted.

BCB has embarked into Enterprise Wide Risk Management by setting up a data warehousing called EDSS (“Enterprise Decision Support System”), a decision support system for entire Risk Management and Financial Analysis requirement. A subsystem addressing the specific risk will be acquired when the system is already available.

BCB will be adopting the Value at Risk (“VaR”) approach in measuring and controlling market risk. VaR is a technique that produces estimate of potential loss in value over a portfolio over a specified time horizon over given confidence interval.

PT Bank Niaga Tbk (“Bank Niaga”) Market risk involves the possibility of losses incurred from changes in interest rate and foreign exchange rate due to market volatility. Bank Niaga monitors these changes and their impact on its portfolios as well as net open positions as part of its market risk management, through the Market Risk Committee (“MARCO”).

MARCO defines acceptable limits on trading exposures, including daily net open position limits and potential losses on current positions. Factors considered in setting these position limits include risk and return levels acceptable by management. Position limits are reviewed at least twice a year, although in periods of extreme volatility they are scrutinised more often or suspended altogether momentarily.

Trading limits are monitored daily on a mark-to-market basis and by applying the Value at Risk (“VaR”) concept. Thus, by keeping track of its daily VaR, Bank Niaga is in a position to liquidate its open position, which indicates a potential loss greater than the allowable limits.

CIMB Berhad (“the Group”) Market risk within the Group as a result of the Group’s trading activities can arise either from customer-related business or from proprietary positions. CIMB and CIMB Discount House Bhd, make markets in debt securities as well as interest rate and currency derivative instruments; while equity proprietary activities are carried out by CIMB, broking arm and offshore subsidiary. In general, the Group manages its trading positions by employing a variety of hedging strategies, including the use of derivative instruments.

The Group manages market risk through risk limits set by the Risk Committee. The Market Risk Committee whose role, amongst others, is to oversee the Group’s exposure to interest rate and equity risks and to consider and determine trading, investment and underwriting proposals within defined limits, assists the Risk Committee.

The utilisation of interest rate and equity risk limits is reviewed on a daily basis, by the Risk Management Unit (“RMU”) who employs statistical methods to measure and monitor the risks associated with the Group’s trading activities. The RMU also provides independent valuation of portfolios and generates daily and weekly risk position reports for the information of senior management. 144 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

44 USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) A Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Market risk (Continued) CIMB Berhad (“the Group”) (Continued) The Group has adopted a Value at Risk (“VaR”) approach in the measurement of interest rate and equity risks. VaR is a statistical measure of the potential losses that could occur due to movements in market rates and prices over a specified time horizon within a given confidence level.

Credit risk Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (“BCB”) Credit Risk Management forms a key component of the integrated risk management structure, driven by a credit risk framework in compliance with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Best Practices and requirements of the New Basel Accord.

Credit risk is the potential for loss due to the failure of a counterparty or borrower to meet its financial obligations. Key to the credit risk management is to ensure that structures and processes are in place to maintain and continuously enhance BCB’s risk assessment capabilities in key areas of credit. These include sound credit policies/procedures, quality credit approvals, appropriate risk measurement/methodology, strong credit controls with independent reviews and effective/ workable recovery strategies.

Credit Risk Management is vested in the Credit Risk Committee (“CRC”) which has been established at management level with clear roles and responsibilities. The CRC reports to and assists the Board (through the Board Risk Management Committee) in its oversight role on management of credit risk of BCB. Proactive management is provided to Line arising from direction and guidance by CRC. At banking divisions, monthly asset quality meetings are held to monitor credit risk exposures, regular review on an account and portfolio basis and ensure timely reporting to risk committees.

BCB has issued board-approved Credit Risk Policy Guide (“CRPG”), which outlines risk limitation, risk pricing, and credit risk rating and measurement, reporting and MIS.

A proprietary database has been built to run a statistical base model to quantify and measure credit risk translating into an internal credit risk rating system for corporate and business loans, sectoral and products risk profile, customer groups and by locations.

For retail exposures, which are defined as large homogenous portfolios of low values and the incremental risk of any exposure is small, BCB newly initiated a credit scoring model for its mortgage loan and auto financing approvals.

On-going refinement and improvements are continuous. For 2003, the focus will be the Risk Calculator, that is the front- end tool which calculates the probability of default under different scenario at the individual borrower level, to complement the credit risk assessment of the account officer.

PT Bank Niaga Tbk (“Bank Niaga”) Bank Niaga’s credit policy is used as the main guidance in issuing credit. All personnel concerned with credit, including Board of Commissioners and Directors are required to understand these policies and have the discipline to implement these policies in their daily activities.

The credit strategy and goal setting are planned and established by the Credit Policy Committee who is also responsible for managing credit portfolio and credit risk. COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W) 145

44 USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) A Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Credit risk (Continued) PT Bank Niaga Tbk (“Bank Niaga”) (Continued) The main factor that can control and reduce credit risk is the ability and maturity level of the credit units to analyse the credit, which will eventually result in a balance between credit risk and business development considerations.

CIMB Berhad (“the Group”) Credit and counterparty risk is defined as the possibility of losses due to an unexpected default or due to deterioration of a business partner’s credit-worthiness.

Credit risk arises in many of the Group’s business activities. In lending activities, it occurs primarily through loans as well as commitments to support clients’ obligations to third parties, i.e. guarantees. In sales and trading activities, credit risk arises because of the possibility that the Group’s counterparties will not be able or willing to fulfill their obligation on transactions on or before settlement date. In derivative activities, credit risk arises when counterparties to derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, are obligated to pay the Group the positive fair value or receivable resulting from the execution of contract terms.

The Credit Risk Committee ensures that the risk exposures undertaken match the risk appetite of the Group, and that proper authorisation procedures are adhered to. Problematic exposures identified by the business units and management are carefully monitored and proactive measures taken, where possible, to minimise financial loss to the Group. All exposures are proactively assessed for potential risk and those identified as potentially problematic are managed centrally by the Credit & Special Assets Unit, a dedicated and specialised team within the risk management function.

All credit exposures are given an internal rating, based on a combination of ratios and qualitative criteria. Adherence to set credit limits is monitored on a daily basis by the RMU who combine all exposures for each counterparty, including off- balance sheet and potential exposures, and ensure that limits are not exceeded. The Group also has in place credit guidelines that limit its exposure to any one counterparty or group, industry sector and rating classification.

Liquidity risk Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (“BCB”) As part of the BCB’s risk management framework, comprehensive governance and management processes surrounding market risk-taking activities are undertaken by the Market Risk Committee (“MRC”). Policy formulation is ongoing to clearly outline the risk controls over processes and models used, in response to changes in market environment. Management recognises the high importance of liquidity and interest rate risk management for a commercial banking institution like BCB. Thus, a Liquidity Risk Management policy and Interest Rate Risk Management policy have been formulated in anticipation of establishing good controls in being able to generate good interest income and meet financial commitments as they fall due, either through sufficient financial resources or without needing to secure them at excessive cost. In addition, liquidity risk from treasury activities could arise from inadequate market or market disruption resulting in positions that cannot be closed out, or close out at a loss. Currently, there is a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) outlining the appropriate policy and procedures for major crisis management including in times of liquidity emergency.

For liquidity management, the primary tool used is the Bank Negara Malaysia-New Liquidity Framework (“NLF”). Besides meeting monthly compliance of the NLF, BCB utilises the NLF to conduct stress test as well as monitor maturity mismatches over successive time bands, concentration of funding sources and liquid asset ratio.

The model employed to measure overall balance sheet performance and under various scenarios including stressful condition is IPS-Sendero A/L. Timely valuation, gap, net interest income simulation and exception reports are furnished to MRC so that corrective action can be taken. 146 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

44 USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) A Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Liquidity risk (Continued) PT Bank Niaga Tbk (“Bank Niaga”) The Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for managing liquidity and asset-liability position. The committee meets with business unit, treasury, credit and other relevant units on monthly basis to ensure that the Bank Niaga’s liquidity objectives are met.

Bank Niaga sets the interest rate through interest sensitivity gap simulation and adjustment between the interest rate of assets and liabilities and source of fund composition.

Bank Niaga manages its liquidity by focusing on cash inflow and cash outflow. The gap in cash flow is anticipated through its first tier assets such as reserve requirements and highly liquid short-term marketable securities. Second tier assets are managed through short-term placements with other banks and available-for-sale long-term marketable securities. Liquidity is also achieved through prudent structuring of the Bank Niaga’s funding. This includes maintaining proper check and balances in the concentrations of the depositors, as well as the amount and maturity of deposits. In addition, Bank Niaga assures liquidity by maintaining its ability to access the financial market, which in large part is dependent upon its credibility and market standing.

CIMB Berhad (“the Group”) Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of the Group being unable to fulfill its current or future payment obligations in full and at the due date.

There is a Liquidity Risk Committee whose main role is to oversee the overall liquidity management of the Group, ensure compliance with the liquidity framework prescribed by Bank Negara Malaysia, and review periodically the assumptions underlying the liquidity risk management framework.

The Group’s liquidity risk management focuses on avoiding over dependence on volatile sources of funding, diversification of funding maturity structure and of sources of funds, and maintenance of sufficient liquid assets. To ensure that the Group is able to cover all payment obligations on due dates as part of the liquidity management process, the RMU prepares liquidity analyses for CIMB and CIMB Discount House Bhd in line with Bank Negara’s liquidity framework. In addition, management action triggers are set to provide timely warning on emerging liquidity pressures. The Group has also developed a contingency funding plan to deal with extreme liquidity crisis situations.

Operational risk Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (“BCB”) Operational risk is the risk resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.

To monitor and control such risk, BCB has established the Operational Risk Management policy to provide the framework, and set the direction of operational risk management activities.

The Operational Risk Support (“ORS”) Department’s role, which is independent of the Internal Audit Department (“IAD”), is to carry out pre-emptive measures and control activities to identify, assess, monitor and suggest methods on mitigation.

The key focus of the ORS approach is to add value and the activities carried out by ORS include the development and implementation of an Operational Risk framework, centralised monitoring of money laundering activities and data integrity, review of work processes and to identify and report on bank-wide operational risks to inculcate awareness on high risk areas in operations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

44 USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) A Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Operational risk (Continued) Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (“BCB”) (Continued) The ORS also reports findings and other operational initiatives to the Operational Risk Committee (“ORC”), who has the jurisdiction on all operational risk areas of BCB and also to follow closely on the development of the BASEL II requirements. The ORC comprises senior executives from the operational and business units, meet monthly to discuss key operational issues and oversee the operational risk management practices within their respective business.

Other operational risk management initiatives include the development of a central Loss Event Database (“LEDB”) and the Control Risk Self Assessment. The loss data collected from the LEDB will enable BCB to analyse and evaluate historical losses and also to enable compliance to the BASEL II Accord on the allocation of capital charge. The Control Risk Self Assessment process allows the line of process owners to evaluate their own internal controls that are appropriate for their operating environments. This method of assessment will further improve the corporate governance and internal control system of BCB.

PT Bank Niaga Tbk (“Bank Niaga”) Risk management is carried out at every level of Bank Niaga’s operating structure. Internal control units closely monitor the process in its respective level or unit, prior and subsequent to each transaction being carried out. In addition, a special unit is set up to monitor all risk exposures arising from each transaction on a daily basis, and to make sure that it complies with the policy, rules and limits set down by the Bank Niaga’s management. Operational risk management is also done by strengthening the information technology, which can reduce the human error.

CIMB Berhad (“the Group”) Operational risk includes risks that arise from internal processes of an organisation. These may result from inadequacies or failures in processes, controls or projects due to fraud, unauthorised activities, error, omission, inefficiency, systems failures or from external events.

Operational risks are less direct than credit and market risk, but managing them is critical, particularly in a rapidly changing environment with increasing transaction volumes. In order to reduce or mitigate these risks, the Group has established and maintained an effective internal control environment, which incorporates various control mechanisms at different levels throughout the organisation. These control mechanisms are designed to better ensure that operational policies and procedures are being followed and that the Group’s various businesses are operating within established corporate policies and limits.

The Group has an Operational Risk Committee with oversight responsibility for all operational and other matters that affect the Group’s day-to-day activities. The committee also reviews the operating policies and procedures for new products/businesses to ensure that the supporting infrastructure is in place prior to doing business.

Netting arrangements CIMB Berhad (“the Group”) The Group also enters into master agreements that provide for close-out and settlement netting with counterparties, whenever possible. A master agreement that governs all transactions between two parties, creates the greatest legal certainty that credit exposure will be netted. In effect, it enables the netting of outstanding obligations upon termination of outstanding transactions if an event of default occurs.

The extent to which the Group’s overall exposure to credit risk is reduced through a master netting arrangement may change substantially within a short period following the balance sheet date because the exposure is affected by each transaction subject to the agreement. 148 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

Fair value is the amount at which a financial asset could be exchanged or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The information presented herein represents the estimates of fair values as at the balance sheet date.

Where available, quoted and observable market prices are used as the measure of fair values. Where such quoted and observable market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on a range of methodologies and assumptions regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows and other factors. Changes in the uncertainties and assumptions could materially affect these estimates and the resulting fair value estimates.

In addition, fair value information for non-financial assets and liabilities are excluded as they do not fall within the scope of MASB 24 which requires the fair value information to be disclosed. 154 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

Derivative financial instruments Interest rate contracts: – Interest rate swaps 250,000 – (3,317)

Pursuant to the transitional provisions of MASB 24, the information on the fair values of the financial instruments as at 31 December 2001 is not presented.

The derivative financial instruments become favourable (positive mark to market) or unfavourable (negative mark to market) as a result of fluctuation in market interest rates or foreign exchange rates relative to their terms. The extent to which instruments are favourable or unfavourable and the aggregate fair values of derivative financial assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time.

The fair values are based on the following methodologies and assumptions:

Short-term funds and placements with financial institutions For short-term funds and placements with financial institutions with maturities of less than six months, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For deposits and placements with maturities six months and above, estimated fair value is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market interest rates at which similar deposits and placements would be made with financial institutions of similar credit risk and remaining period to maturity.

Securities purchased under resale agreements The fair values of securities purchased under resale agreements with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values. For securities purchased under resale agreements with maturities six months and above, estimated fair value is based on discounted cash flows using market rates for the remaining term to maturity.

Dealing and investment securities The estimated fair value is generally based on quoted and observable market prices. Where there is no ready market in certain securities, fair values have been assessed by reference to market indicative interest yields or net tangible asset backing of the investee.

Loans and advances For floating rate loans, the carrying value is generally a reasonable estimate of fair value.

For fixed rate loans, the fair value is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the prevailing market rates of loans with similar credit risks and maturities.

The fair values of impaired floating and fixed rate loans are represented by their carrying value, net of specific provision and interest- in-suspense, being the expected recoverable amount.

Other assets The estimated fair values of other assets identified as financial instruments approximate the carrying values as these assets constitute receivables due from government related agencies and based on the Directors’ estimate, the realisable value of the final consideration as at balance sheet date is similar to that of the carrying value. 156 COMMERCE ASSET-HOLDING BERHAD (50841-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the financial year ended 31 December 2002

45 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) Amount owing by/to subsidiaries The estimated fair values of the amount owing by/to subsidiaries approximate the carrying values as the balances are either recallable on demand or are based on the current rates for such similar loans.

Deposits from customers For deposits from customers with maturities of less than six months, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. For deposit with maturities of six months or more, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on prevailing market rates for similar deposits from customers.

Deposits and placements of banks and other financial institutions The estimated fair values of deposits and placements of banks and other financial institutions with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values. For deposits and placements with maturities six months or more, the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market interest rates for deposits and placements with similar remaining period to maturities.

Obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements The estimated fair values of obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values. For obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements with maturities more than six months, the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market interest rates with similar remaining period to maturity.

Bills and acceptances payable The estimated fair values of bills and acceptances payable with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values. For bills and acceptances payable with maturities six months or more, the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market interest rates for bills and acceptances payable with similar remaining period to maturity.

Amount due to Cagamas Berhad The estimated fair values of the amount due to Cagamas Berhad with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values. For amount due to Cagamas Berhad with maturities of six months or more, the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing interest rates for loans sold to Cagamas Berhad with similar remaining period to maturity.

Other liabilities The fair value of other liabilities approximates the carrying value at the balance sheet date.

ICULS The estimated fair value of ICULS approximates the carrying value as based on Directors’ estimate, the effective interest rate of the ICULS is a fair reflection of the current rates for such similar long term borrowings.

Loan stocks Loan stocks comprise of negotiable certificates of deposits issued by a subsidiary bank. The estimated fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for similar negotiable certificates of deposits. Where market rates are not readily available, fair values are estimated by reference to corporate bond indicative yields taking into consideration the credit rating of the subsidiary bank.

Bonds Bonds comprise of redeemable unsecured RM bonds and Euro-Convertible bonds issued by the Company. For RM bonds with maturities of six months or more, the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using indicative yields taking into consideration the credit rating of the Bonds.

45 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) Other borrowings The estimated fair values of other borrowings with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values.

Foreign exchange rate and interest rate contracts The fair values of foreign exchange rate and interest rate related contracts are the estimated amounts the Group or the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the balance sheet date.

46 PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT During the financial year, the Group and the Company changed the accounting policy with respect to the recognition of liabilities for proposed dividends.

In previous financial years, final dividends were accrued as liabilities when proposed by Directors after balance sheet date. The Group and the Company have changed this accounting policy to be in accordance with MASB 19: Events After the Balance Sheet Date, whereby dividends proposed or declared after balance sheet date are not recognised as a liabilities at the balance sheet date.

In line with the change in accounting treatment from that of prior years as explained above, the Company has also changed its revenue recognition in respect of dividend declared by its subsidiaries. In prior years, the dividends from subsidiaries were recognised as revenue when proposed by the directors of the subsidiaries concerned. The Company now recognises the dividends as revenue after approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

In addition, MASB 20: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, defines liabilities as present obligations arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in outflows of economic benefits. The proposed dividends which are subject to approval by shareholders do not fulfil the definition of a liabilities. Therefore, final dividends are now accrued as liabilities after approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively as follows: As Effect of previouslychange in As reported policyrestated RM’000 RM’000 RM’000
