Overall Business Environment

According to the semi-annual Asian Development Outlook Report issued by the Asian Development Bank in September 2016, Cambodia is projected to achieve a higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 7.1% in 2017 as compared to 7.0% in 2016 driven mainly by solid garment and footwear exports, construction and real estate activities, rising government expenditure and moderate recovery in agriculture production although weaker growth in Euro, a sharper-than-expected global tightening of credit and surge in the US Dollar could constrain exports and competition from other low cost producing countries.

Total Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) increased by 25% to reach USD2.15 billion in 2016 as compared to 2015. Cambodia is still highly dependent on FDIs with the bulk of the investments mainly in banking, manufacturing and infrastructure projects such as hydro-power dams and construction/upgrading of road and bridges by the Chinese investors.

The Cambodian government continued to build up its foreign reserves with 27 consistent increase of between 15% and 20% for the past decade to USD6.8 billion in 2016 or equivalent to 5 months of imports which is significantly higher than the 3.5-month guidelines recommended by the International Monetary Fund. Inflation rate in Cambodia is projected to increase marginally from 2.9% in 2016 to 3.0% in 2017.

The substantial increase in tax collection of USD1.49 billion in 2016 or increase of 14.9% as compared to 2015 will continue to finance the country’s total current expenditure as well as capital expenditure, and also increase in budget to support developmental policies especially as Cambodia had achieved lower-middle income country status with gross national income per capita of more than USD1,026 in July 2016.

The positive factors that can contribute towards the growth of Cambodia’s economy are the continuation of its highly open door policy on FDIs (for e.g. enabling companies to be 100% foreign-owned), prudent monetary and fiscal policies to sustain macroeconomic stability, ample development potentials leveraged by supportive government policies, promotion of domestic investments, implementation of the revised Financial Sector Development Strategy 2011-2020 and ongoing ASEAN integration. The ASEAN integration which is ongoing may be beneficial to Cambodia due in part to the free flow of trade and skilled labor among ASEAN countries.

With the on-going initiatives taken by the Cambodian government to diversify the country’s narrow-based economy and increase its national budget from USD4.36 billion in 2016 to USD5.04 billion or 15.6% in 2017 due to projected higher tax collection, the investment outlook in Cambodia is still promising and positive for the next few years though its economic growth remains modest.

2016 Annual Report 27 Summary of the Bank’s Financial Performance

Campu Bank’s pre-tax profit for 2016 increased to USD60.04 million, an increase of 2.56% as compared to USD58.54 million recorded in the previous financial year.

Gross loans and advances increased by 4.81% or USD46.07 million to USD1,003.26 million as at 31 December 2016. For the year 2016, the Bank’s deposits from customers had increased by 16.47% or USD167.50 million to USD1,184.70 million.

2016 Annual Report 29 Focus and Commitment

Campu Bank’s strong commitment to excellence in all aspects of its business and operations has been attested by the “Bank of the Year” award accorded to the Bank for five consecutive years from 2001 to 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012 and again in 2015 by The Banker, London and “Cambodian Domestic Retail Bank of the Year” for five consecutive years from 2012 to 2016 by Asian Banking & Finance.

Campu Bank expects 2017 to be even more challenging than 2016 in view of more new entrants in the market and tougher economic conditions. The key challenge to maintain strong profit growth and business expansion in an increasingly competitive business environment has motivated the Bank to continue delivering banking excellence.

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Campu Bank is committed to growing the Bank’s market share and improving customer service delivery while at the same time ensuring good corporate governance, sound risk management policies and prudent credit policies and practices in order to support sustainable long-term growth and profitability of the Bank.

34 2016 Annual Report Risk Management

Introduction

The Bank will continue to place emphasis on strengthening of the Bank’s risk management, infrastructure and capabilities within its integrated enterprise wide risk management framework, not only for regulatory compliance but with a view to improving operational and financial performance and optimizing capital efficiency.

Overall Risk Management Framework

Campu Bank had set up its Risk Committee which adheres to the Group’s risk management framework established by its parent bank, Public Bank, Malaysia.

The Board of Campu Bank is responsible for the management of risks of the Bank and maintains overall responsibility for risk oversight within Campu Bank to ensure clear accountability and responsibility for the risk management process. 35 Assets and Liabilities Management Committee

Campu Bank has set up an Assets and Liabilities Management Committee to develop the framework and set the objectives for the assets and liabilities management functions.

Operational Risk Management Working Group

The ERWG also ensures appropriate risk response and action plans are taken to mitigate the emerging risks. All identified emerging risks and the actions taken/to be taken are escalated to the senior management, the Credit Committees, risk committees and Board of Directors.

Code of Ethics

Campu Bank is in an industry where trust is of paramount importance given that a financial institution is a custodian of public funds. The trust and confidence that customers and the public have in the Bank are vital to the continued growth and success of the Bank. The Bank actively seeks to conduct itself with integrity and trustworthiness to engender such trust and confidence in the Bank.

A key determinant in building a trusted financial institution of high repute is the way its employees conduct themselves in their work and in the delivery of services to customers and the public. The Bank has taken, and continues to take, proactive initiatives to ensure that employees have values and principles, and conduct themselves to standards that are consistent with the expectations of customers and the public of a trusted financial institution.

The formalization of what constitutes acceptable conduct expected of employees of the Bank in the form of clear and documented codes and policies is a critical step in building trust and integrity in employee conduct and behavior. Such codes and policies include a Code of Ethics, an Anti-Fraud Policy and an Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Policy.

Code of Ethics. The Bank issued staff circulars to guide employees’ conduct based on 6 key principles: (i) Avoid conflict of interest (ii) Avoid misuse of position (iii) Prevent misuse of information for personal gain or any purpose other than its intended purpose (iv) Ensure integrity and completeness of records (v) Ensure confidentiality of communication and transactions with customers

36 2016 Annual Report (vi) Fair and equitable treatment of customers

Anti-Fraud Policy. Fraud undermines the integrity and erodes the confidence and trust in a financial institution and the banking system in general. In addition to the extensive infrastructure established to prevent and detect fraud and fraudulent activities, the Bank also has an Anti-Fraud Policy to spell out the roles and responsibilities of each employee in combating fraud.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Policy. The Bank has put in place an Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Policy in the prevention of the use of the Bank for illicit and money laundering activities as well as financing of terrorist activities.

2016 Annual Report 37 Customer Perspective

A Committed Drive to Customer Service Excellence

The importance of excellent customer service in an intensely competitive banking and financing industry is key to the Bank in staying ahead of the competition. The Bank continues to commit significant resources in its pursuit of international standards of customer service. Customer service delivery excellence is a culture that permeates every level of staff in the Bank. Campu Bank’s tagline of “Excellence Is Our Commitment” is a way of life in the Bank.

Customer Satisfaction Our Top Priority

The Bank follows the customer service excellence culture of the parent bank, Public Bank. The main theme “Doing It Right For You” and “Your Needs, Our Focus” are aimed at cultivating, as well as reinforcing, the desired attitude in customer service delivery by front-line staff as well as seeking customer’s perception of the Bank’s service quality levels.

A Wider Spectrum of Customer Service Delivery Channels

With an increasingly sophisticated customer base seeking the convenience of carrying out banking transactions and accessing products and services information interactively, the multiple service delivery channels of the Bank offer the convenience sought by such customers.

Internal Process Perspective

The Bank’s IT initiatives in 2016 continued to emphasize on delivering enhanced banking products and service excellence. Various emerging technologies were deployed and new applications introduced to strengthen the existing IT foundation of the Bank.

To enhance a wide range of the Bank’s products and services, and to offer convenience to customers in conducting banking transactions outside banking hours, the Bank introduced ATM services and Credit Card services followed by launching of various types of Credit Cards such as VISA Credit Card, Debit Card and MasterCard and thereafter, the Bank had participated in the EasyCash network. Western Union Services, Internet Banking and 24/7 Cash Deposit Terminal are three added services for customers performing banking activities outside the banking hours.

38 2016 Annual Report In 2016, the Bank had strengthened enforcement on system security by carrying out security hardening of the Bank’s Automated Teller Machines and Cash Deposit Terminals as a pre-emptive and effective measure to prevent malware attack by perpetrators which may result in financial losses via unauthorized cash withdrawals from the ATMs.

In 2016, the Bank set up a Trade Finance in Head Office to centralize processing of trade bills transactions to improve service delivery to customers.

In 2016, the Bank opened a new branch each in Boeng Tumpun, Phnom Penh City and Chbar Mon, Kampong Speu Province bringing the branch network to 30 and has further targeted to open a few more branches in 2017.

Human Resource Development

The key to the success and strong performance of Campu Bank is the contribution of the team of dedicated, committed and knowledgeable employees who are continuously striving for excellence. 39 The Bank highly treasures this and further reinforces their strengths by providing extensive, wholesome and effective training to develop the skills of its employees. Campu Bank also continuously nurtures its human capital by a performance reward system; thus generating a strong performance culture that achieves results for both today’s and tomorrow’s business needs.

Developing Human Capital for Continued Excellence

The know-how, skills and expertise of its staff continue to be a cornerstone in the Bank’s intellectual capital. By continuously supporting life-long learning and development, the Bank demonstrates its recognition of training as a key driver to help the Bank outperform the competition and achieve superior results. Providing continuous access to learning and development of both operational and management skills sets is a commitment the Bank has made to further enhance the performance levels of all staff. This also directly encourages the upward mobility of staff within the organization, breeding a force of loyal, skillful and knowledgeable employees.

For the year 2016, all staff underwent regular in-house and on-the-job training. Newly recruited staff in particular are inducted through programmes encompassing our corporate values, banking system and operational processes and procedures and Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Financing for Terrorism (AML/CFT) to ensure that they are well equipped to meet customers’ needs. Opportunities for further enhancement of staff’s skills and knowledge are also made accessible through the many lessons and courses posted on the Bank’s 24-hour e-learning platform.

2016 Annual Report 39 Training and development was also expanded beyond borders. While staff were sent for specialised training at Public Bank’s Knowledge and Learning Centre in Malaysia, trainers from Public Bank, Malaysia and external trainers also came to Cambodia to train the masses to complement and supplement the local training contents.

With the expansion of two new branches in 2016, it is the Bank’s belief that a well rounded human capital will be one of the key drivers that will propel the Bank to greater heights and new levels of success.

Expanding Our Passion for Service

In line with the theme “Your Needs, Our Focus”, staff are encouraged to go beyond contractual obligations to serve with a passion. The Bank maintains a strong customer focus in its service delivery which directly impact profitability. The Bank’s passion for service excellence is well demonstrated through the continuous pursuit of improvement in skills and knowledge.

The Bank will continually aim for superior human capital practices as it believes that through its staff, the Bank will scale new heights of excellence and achieve accelerated growth.

Banking Industry

The level of competition in the banking industry is expected to intensify further due to more new entrants and banks adopting aggressive and proactive marketing strategies to increase their market share. Nevertheless, despite the intensive competition in the Cambodian banking industry, the Bank has put in place business strategies to expand its core business activities, particularly in lending to wholesale and retail sectors and middle market commercial enterprises, particularly small and medium enterprises, without compromising on its prudent credit standards and practices.

Before the financial statements of the Group and the Bank were drawn up, the directors took reasonable steps to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad loans or the making of provisions for bad and doubtful loans and advances, and satisfied themselves that all known bad loans and advances had been written off and that adequate provisions had been made for bad and doubtful loans and advances.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the amount written off for bad loans and advances or the amount of the provision for bad and doubtful loans and advances in the financial statements of the Group and the Bank inadequate to any material extent.

44 2016 Annual Report REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (continued)

CURRENT ASSETS

Before the financial statements of the Group and the Bank were drawn up, the directors took reasonable steps to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to be realized in the ordinary course of business at their value as shown in the accounting records of the Group and the Bank, have been written down to an amount which they might be expected to realize.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and the Bank misleading in any material respect.

VALUATION METHODS 45

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances that have arisen which would render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets and liabilities in the financial statements of the Group and the Bank misleading or inappropriate in any material respect.

CONTINGENT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

At the date of this report, there is:

• No charge on the assets of the Group and the Bank which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person; and

• No contingent liability in respect of the Group and the Bank that has arisen since the end of the financial year other than in the ordinary course of banking business.

No contingent liability or other liability of the Group and the Bank 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 have a material effect on the ability of the Group and the Bank to meet its obligations as and when they become due.

STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the respective financial position of the Group and the Bank as at 31 December 2016, and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended. The Board of Directors oversees preparation of these financial statements by management who is required to:

i) Adopt appropriate accounting policies which are supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates and then apply them consistently;

ii) Comply with the disclosure requirements and guidelines issued by the NBC and Cambodian Accounting Standards or, if there have been any departures 47 in the interests of fair presentation, these have been appropriately disclosed, explained and quantified in the financial statements;

Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia

48 2016 Annual Report INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To: The Shareholder of Cambodian Public Bank Plc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Cambodian Public Bank Plc. (“the Bank”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) and the separate financial statements of the Bank which comprise the respective consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2016 and the respective consolidated and separate income statements, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as “the financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements give a true 49 and fair view of the respective financial position of the Group and the Bank as at 31 December 2016, and their respective consolidated and separate financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Cambodian Accounting Standards and relevant regulations and guidelines issued by the National Bank of Cambodia.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Cambodian International Standards on Auditing (“CISA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Bank in accordance with the sub-decree on the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and Auditors promulgated by the Royal Government of Cambodia, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and the Board of Directors

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Cambodian Accounting Standards and relevant regulations and guidelines issued by the National Bank of Cambodia, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

2016 Annual Report 49 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (continued)

To: The Shareholder of Cambodian Public Bank Plc. (continued)

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group and the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Group and the Bank’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with CISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group and the Bank’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

50 2016 Annual Report INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (continued)

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 51

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated and separate financial statements (referred to as “the financial statements”) have been prepared based on the historical cost convention. The Group maintains, records and prepares financial statements in United States dollar (“USD”) in accordance with NBC Prakas No. B7-07-164 dated 13 December 2007 on Language Use, Currency Unit and Exchange Rate for Accounting Records and Reports.

The financial statements of the Group and the Bank have been prepared in compliance with Cambodian Accounting Standards (“CAS”) and relevant regulations and guidelines issued by the NBC.

The translation of the USD amounts in the financial statements into Khmer Riel (“KHR”) is provided for the sole purpose of complying with Prakas No. B7-07-164 dated 13 December 2007 using the official rate of exchange regulated by the NBC as at the reporting date, which was USD1 to KHR4,037 as at 31 December 2016 (2015: USD1 to KHR4,050). Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the USD amounts represent, or have been or could be, converted into Riel at that or any other rate.

Standards not yet adopted

On 24 March 2016, the National Accounting Council of Cambodia (“NAC”) announced that the implementation of CIFRS is extended until the end of 2018.

The adoption of CIFRS is expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Fiscal year

The Group’s fiscal year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.

62 2016 Annual Report NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2 Significant accounting judgments and estimates

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has used its judgment and made estimates in determining the amounts recognized in the financial statements as follows:

2.2.1 Operating lease

The Bank has entered into lease on premises used for its operations. The Bank has determined, based on the evaluation of the terms and conditions of the lease agreements (i.e., the lease does not transfer ownership of the 63 asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term and lease term is not for the major part of the asset’s economic life), the lessor retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties. 2.2.2 Functional currency

CAS 21 requires management to use its judgment to determine the entity’s functional currency such that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, the Group considers the following:

a) The currency that mainly influences prices for financial instruments and services (this will often be the currency in which prices for its financial instruments and services are denominated and settled); b) The currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and c) The currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained. 2.2.3 Provision for losses on loans and advances to customers

When preparing the financial statements, the quality of loans and advances is reviewed and assessed to determine their classification and level of allowance for losses on loans and advances, as more fully disclosed in Note 2.3.8.

2016 Annual Report 63 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2 Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

2.2.4 Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses and temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies.

2.2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The Group assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Bank considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

• Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; • Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and • Significant negative industry or economic trends.

2.2.6 Estimated useful lives of property and equipment, and software costs

The Group estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment, and software costs. This estimate is reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items of property and equipment and software costs.

64 2016 Annual Report NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.3.1 Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Bank are consistent with those adopted in prior periods.

2.3.2 Subsidiary

Subsidiary is an entity over which the Bank has the ability to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Bank has such power over another entity. 65

In the Bank’s financial statements, investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is included in the income statement.

2.3.3 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the Bank.

The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Bank obtains control and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized gains or losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

Acquisition of a subsidiary is accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

2016 Annual Report 65 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.3 Basis of consolidation (continued)

The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

2.3.4 Business combination

Business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

2.3.5 Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.6 Minority interest

Minority interest represents the portion of profit or loss and the net assets of the subsidiary not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Bank. Minority interests are presented separately in the consolidated income statement, and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from equity attributable to equity holder of the Bank. Acquisitions of minority interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transaction, whereby the difference between the consideration and the fair value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognized as an equity transaction and attributed to the owners of the Bank. 67 2.3.7 Loans and Advances

Loans and advances are stated in the balance sheet at the amount of principal plus interest receivables less any amounts written off and allowance for losses on loans and advances. Short term loans are those with repayment date within one year from the date the loan was advanced. Long term loans are those with final repayment date of more than one year from the date the loan was advanced.

Loans and advances are written off when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Recoveries of loans and advances previously written off is recognized in other income in the income statement.

Loans and advances classified as substandard, doubtful or loss are considered non-performing loans.

2.3.8 Allowance for losses on loans and advances

Allowance for losses on loans and advances is made with regard to specific risks and relates to those loans and advances that have been individually reviewed and specifically identified as normal, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. In addition, a general allowance is also maintained for loans classified as normal.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.8 Allowance for losses on loans and advances (continued)

The allowance is based on a percentage of total outstanding loans and advances.

The Bank follows the mandatory credit classification and provisioning as required by NBC Prakas No. B7-09-074 dated 25 February 2009. The Prakas requires commercial banks to classify their loan portfolio into five classes. The mandatory level of specific allowance is provided depending on the loan classification as follows:

Classification Number of days past due Allowance rate

General allowance: Normal Nil to less than 30 days 1% Specific allowance: Special mention 30 days or more but less than 90 days 3% Substandard 90 days or more but less than 180 days 20% Doubtful 180 days or more but less than 360 days 50% Loss 360 days or more 100%

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

2.3.9 Other credit-related commitments

In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into other credit-related commitments including loan commitments, letters of credit and guarantees. The accounting policy and provision methodology are similar to originated loans as disclosed above. Allowance is raised against other credit-related commitments when losses are considered probable.

2.3.10 Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale (“AFS”) investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as designated at fair value through profit and loss, held-to-maturity or loans and advances.

68 2016 Annual Report NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.11 Determination of fair value

The fair value for financial instruments traded in the active markets at the balance sheet date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.

For all other financial instruments that are not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation techniques.

2.3.12 Offsetting financial instruments 69

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.3.13 Classification of financial instruments between liability and equity

A financial instrument is classified as liability, if it provides for a contractual obligation to:

• Deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or • Exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Group; or • Satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares.

If the Group does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.14 Recognition of income or expense

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income from loans and advances to customers and balances with the NBC and other banks is recognized on a daily accrual basis, except for loans and advances to customers that have been classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. Interest accruing to these loans shall instead be credited to an interest in suspense account. Income will be recognized upon collection.

Interest expense on deposits of customers, settlement accounts of other banks and borrowings are recognized on a daily accrual basis.

The following recognition criteria are also applied by the Group.

2.3.14.1 Fee and commission income

The Group earns fee and commission income from a diverse range of services it provides to its customers. Loan arrangement fee and commission on services and facilities extended to customers are recognized on the occurrence of such transactions. Commitment and guarantee fees on services and facilities extended to customers are recognised as income over the period in which the services and facilities are extended. Service charge and processing fee are recognised when the service is provided.

2.3.14.2 Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.14 Recognition of income or expense (continued)

2.3.14.3 Insurance activities

Premium income Premium income in respect of direct insurance business is recognized upon inception of the risk regardless of the period of the policy. Premium income in respect of inward reinsurance business is recognised upon receipt of returns and advices from ceding companies.

Unearned premiums reserve (“UPR”) Unearned premiums represent the portion of the net premiums of insurance policies underwritten that relate to the unexpired periods of 71 the policies at the end of the financial year.

At the reporting date, the following methods are used to determine the UPR:

• 25% method for marine cargo, aviation cargo and transit business; and • 1/24 method for all other types of business.

Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”)

DAC are costs which are primarily related directly to the securing of premiums on issue and renewal of insurance policies. Such costs are recognized when incurred and not deferred

Claims

Claims expense includes claims paid in the period and a provision for the estimated cost of all claims notified but not yet settled and for those incurred but not yet reported at the reporting date, net of expected reinsurance recoveries.

A liability for outstanding claims is recognised in respect of both direct insurance and co-reinsurance. The amount of outstanding claims is the best estimate of the expenditure required together with related expenses less recoveries to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.14 Recognition of income or expense (continued)

2.3.14.3 Insurance activities (continued)

Claims (continued)

Provision is also made for the cost of claims, together with related expenses incurred but not reported at the reporting date, using a mathematical method of estimation determined by the management on a case by case basis.

Estimating the provision for outstanding claims involves projection of the future claims experience based on current claims experience. As with all projections, there are elements of uncertainty and thus the projected future claims experience may be different from its actual claims experience due to the level of uncertainty involved in projecting future claims experience based on past claims experience.

These uncertainties arise from changes in underlying risks, changes in spread of risks, timing and amounts of claims settlement as well as uncertainties in the projection model and underlying assumptions.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance outward premium is recognised in accordance with treaty reinsurance agreements, upon receipt of confirmation from facultative reinsurers and in a manner consistent with the treatment of the accounting for premium income. Premium ceded for non-proportional reinsurance is treated as an expense in accordance with the pattern of the reinsurance ceded.

2.3.14.4 Securities and brokerages

Commission and fee income

The Group recognises revenue from rendering of services in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed based on surveys of work performed. If the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognised is the net amount of commission earned by the Group.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.15 Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flow purposes, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, deposits with other banks, and highly-liquid short term investments with an original maturity of less than ninety days that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

2.3.16 Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in the Bank’s financial statements at cost, less any impairment allowance, to recognize non-temporary decline in the value of the investment. 73 2.3.17 Investment in an associate

The Group’s investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and is carried at cost, less impairment losses, if any, determined on an individual basis, in the Bank’s separate financial statements. An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence.

Under the equity method, the investment in associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate.

The income statement reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The share of profit or losses of an associate is shown on the face of the income statement.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.3.17 Investment in an associate (continued)

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associate. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the share of net profit or losses of an associate in the income statement.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognises any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

2.3.18 Property and equipment and software costs

Property and equipment, including software costs, are stated at cost excluding day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation/amortization and provision for impairment in value (if any). Changes in the expected useful life are accounted for by changing the depreciation period or method, as appropriate and treated as a change in accounting estimate.

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in other operating income in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognized.

2.3.18 Property and equipment and software costs (continued)

Depreciation and amortisation

Construction in progress is not depreciated. Depreciation of property and equipment, except for buildings, is charged to the income statement on a declining balance basis at the following rates:

Leasehold improvements 20% Furniture, fittings and equipment 25% Information technology (“IT”) equipment 50% Motor vehicles 25% 75 Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis at 5% per annum.

When the carrying amount of property and equipment becomes USD 50 and below, they are fully depreciated within the same year.

2.3.19 Corporate income tax

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these differences can be utilized, except where the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit.

2.3.19 Corporate income tax (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be utilized.

Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are re-assessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilized.

2.3.20 Foreign currency transactions and translation

The Group maintains its accounting system and records all transactions in original currencies. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FC”) at year-end are re-translated to USD at the exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. For prevailing exchange rates of USD and applicable FCs against KHR as at 31 December, see Note 32.

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

27.1 Operational risk (continued)

The Group’s operational risk management entails the establishment of clear organisational structures, roles and control policies. Various internal control policies and measures have been implemented including the establishment of signing authorities, defining system parameters controls, streamlining procedures and documentation and compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements. These are continually reviewed to address the operational risks of the business unit as well as to assess the level of compliance with the Group policies by a programme of periodic reviews undertaken by the internal audit function. The results of internal audit reviews are discussed with the management of the business unit to which they relate, with summaries submitted to the Audit Committee and senior management of the Group. 27.2 Credit risk

The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will cause a financial loss to the Group by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business. Credit exposure arises principally in lending activities that lead to loans and advances. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as loan commitments. The lending activities are guided by the Group’s credit policy to ensure that the overall objectives in the area of lending are achieved; i.e., that the loan portfolio is strong and credit risks are well diversified. The credit policy documents the lending policy, collateral policy and credit approval processes, including the Group’s own internal grading system, and procedures implemented to ensure compliance with the NBC’s guidelines.

(a) Credit risk measurement

The Group assesses the probability of default of individual counterparties using internal rating tool. Local credit committee is responsible for determining the risk rating policies.

Risk ratings are reviewed and updated regularly, and in events of (i) change of loan terms and conditions including extension; (ii) repayment irregularities or delinquencies and (iii) adverse information relating to the borrower or transaction. .

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

27.2 Credit risk (continued)

(b) Risk limit control and mitigation policies

The Bank operates and provides loans and advances to individuals or enterprises within the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Bank manages, limits and controls the concentration of credit risk whenever it is identified. Large exposure is defined by the NBC as overall credit exposure to any individual beneficiary which exceeds 10% of the Bank’s net worth.

The Bank is required, under the conditions of Prakas No. B7-06-226 of the NBC, to maintain at all times a maximum ratio of 20% between the Bank’s overall credit exposure to any single beneficiary and the Bank’s net worth. The aggregate of large credit exposure must not exceed 300% 113 of the Bank’s net worth.

The Bank employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is the taking of security in the form of collateral for loans and advances to customers, which is common practice. The Bank implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types to secure for loans and advances to customers are:

• Mortgages over residential properties (land, building and other properties); • Charges over business assets such as land and buildings; and • Cash in the form of margin deposits.

(c) Impairment and provisioning policy

The Group is required to follow the mandatory credit classification and provisioning in accordance with the relevant Prakas as disclosed in Note 2.3.8.

During the year, the Bank did not repossess any collateral held as security.

27.3 Market risk

The Group takes on exposure to market risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk arises from open positions in interest rates, currency and equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices.

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contract and interest rate swaps to hedge its risk exposure.

2016 Annual Report 125 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

27.3 Market risk (continued)

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. The Group maintains a policy of not exposing itself to large foreign exchange positions. Any foreign currency exchange open positions are monitored against the operating requirements, pre-determined position limits and cut-loss limits.

As at 31 December 2016, balances in monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than USD are not significant. Therefore, no sensitivity analysis for foreign currency exchange risk was presented.

(ii) Price risk

The Group is not exposed to price risk of securities because it does not hold any investments classified on the balance sheet as marketable securities.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest margins may increase as a result of changes and may reduce losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The management of the Group at this stage does not have a policy to set limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be undertaken; however, management regularly monitors the mismatch.

The Group has no significant financial assets and liabilities with floating interest rates. Balances with the NBC, balances with other banks, and loans and advances earn fixed interest rates and deposits from other banks and customers have fixed interest rates.

27.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence of this may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfill commitments to lend.

126 2016 Annual Report NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) as at 31 December 2016 and for the year then ended

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

27.4 Liquidity risk (continued)

The Group’s management monitors balance sheet liquidity and manages the concentration and profile of debt maturities. Monitoring and reporting take the form of the daily cash position and projection for the next day, week and month respectively, as these are key periods for liquidity management. Management monitors the movements of the main depositors and projection of their withdrawals.

The table in Note 28 is an analysis of the assets and liabilities of the Group by relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual or estimated maturity dates. 127 27.5 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled on an arms-length basis. As verifiable market prices are not available, market prices are not available for a significant proportion of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities. Fair values, therefore, have been based on management assumptions according to the profile of the asset and liability base. In the opinion of the management, the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities included in the balance sheet are a reasonable estimation of their fair values. In making this assessment, the management assumes that loans and advances are mainly held to maturity with fair values equal to the book value of loans adjusted for allowance for loan losses, if any.

27.6 Capital management

The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to ensure that it complies with externally imposed capital requirements and it maintains strong financial position and healthy capital ratios to support its business and to maximize shareholder’s value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholder’s, return capital structure, or issue capital securities. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes from previous years.

30. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, at the date of this report, there were no events which occurred subsequent to 31 December 2016 that had significant impact on the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016.

31. TAX CONTINGENCY

The taxation system in Cambodia is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which is often unclear, contradictory and subject to interpretation. Often, differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, who are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. These facts may create tax risks in Cambodia substantially more significant than in other countries. Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation. However, the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects since the incorporation of the Bank could be significant.
