Judgements made by the management that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 40 to these financial statements.
7. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

7.1. Financial assets and liabilities

The bank initially recognises financial assets and liabilities on the date at which they are originated except investments which are recognised on the trade date.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are transferred. The bank also enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or part of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. If all or substantially all risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred assets are not derecognised from the balance sheet.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual obligations expire, or are discharged or cancelled.
7.2. Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, money at call and balances with treasury and other banks.
7.3. Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions

(a) Sale under repurchase obligation

Securities sold subject to a re-purchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings. The differential in sale and repurchase value is accrued over the period of the contract and recorded as an expense.
(b) Purchase under resale obligation

Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions or financing as appropriate. However, the underlying security is not recognised as a separate asset in the financial statements. The difference between the contracted price and resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.
(c) Other borrowings

These are recorded at the proceeds received. Mark-up paid on such borrowings is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of borrowings on accrual basis.
7.4. Investments

Investments in securities, other than investments in subsidiaries and associates are classified as follows:
(a) Held for trading

These represent securities, which are either acquired for the purpose of generating profit from short-term fluctuations in prices or dealer's margin or are securities included in the portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit making exists.
(b) Held to maturity

These are securities with fixed or determinable payments and maturity in respect of which the bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.
(c) Available for sale

These represent securities, which do not fall under the held for trading or held to maturity categories.

Investments other than those classified as held for trading and investments in subsidiaries or associates, are initially recognised at fair value including transaction costs associated with such investments. Investments classified as held for trading are initially recognised at fair value.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated at cost less impairment loss (if any).

All purchase and sale of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognised at the trade date, which is the date the bank commits to purchase or sell the investment.

Premium or discount on acquisition of investments is amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till maturity.

Held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost as per the requirements laid down in BSD Circular No. 14 dated September 24, 2004, issued by the State Bank of Pakistan.

Unquoted equity securities are valued at the lower of cost and break-up value. Subsequent increase or decrease in the carrying value is credited / charged to income. Break-up value of equity securities is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per the latest audited financial statements.

In accordance with the requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan, quoted securities other than those classified as held to maturity and investments in subsidiaries or associates are stated at market value where ready quotes are available.

As per SBP directives, the surplus / deficit arising on revaluation is taken to the profit and loss account for trading securities, while for available for sale securities, it is reported below equity.

Provision for diminution in the value of securities (except term finance certificates) is made for permanent impairment, if any. Provision for diminution in value of term finance certificates is made as per the aging criteria prescribed by the Prudential Regulations issued by the State Bank of Pakistan.
7.5. Financing

Morabaha and ijara are stated net of specific and general provision.

Specific provision is made for non-performing financing in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the State Bank of Pakistan. The bank also maintains general provision in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations and for present potential losses on performing morabaha, ijara financing and consumer financing portfolio.

Finance leases where the bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, are classified as ijaras. Ijara financing is recognized at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payment including any guaranteed residual value.

Non-performing financing is written off only when all possible courses of action to achieve recovery have proved unsuccessful.
7.6. Operating fixed assets

Owned

Items of property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment (if any) except freehold and leasehold land which are stated at cost.

When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment.

During the current year, the bank has revised its accounting estimate regarding depreciation on leasehold land, whereby, no depreciation is being charged on such land. Previously, such land was being depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. The change in estimate has been applied prospectively. The impact of the change in estimate is immaterial.

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost.
Assets subject to finance lease

Leases in terms of which the bank assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as assets subject to finance lease. These are stated at amounts equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (if any). Financial charges are allocated over the period of the lease term so as to provide a constant periodic rate of financial charge on the outstanding liability.
Intangibles

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (if any). Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are stated at cost less impairment losses (if any).
Subsequent costs

Renewals and improvements are included in an asset's carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other expenses are charged to income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation on property and equipment other than freehold and leasehold land, and amortisation on intangibles is charged to income using the straight-line method so as to write off the depreciable amount of an asset over its estimated useful life at the rates given in notes 13.2 and 13.3.

The residual value is assessed annually. During the current year, the bank has reassessed the estimated residual value of vehicles. The impact of the revision in this estimate is immaterial.

A full month's depreciation / amortisation is charged in the month of addition and no depreciation / amortisation is charged in the month of disposal.
Impairment of operating fixed assets

The carrying amounts of the bank's operating fixed assets are regularly reviewed to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Such losses are recognised directly in the profit and loss account.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount. Such reversals are only made to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.
7.7. Operating leases

Lease payments under operating leases are charged to income on straight line basis over the lease term.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised.

ii) exercise the redemption option before the expiry of current LOC date with immediate payment at a discount of 10% over and above the normal procedure.

25. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A derivative financial instrument is a financial contract between two parties where payments are dependent upon movement in prices of one or more underlying financial instruments, reference rates or indices. The principal derivatives used by the bank are forward foreign exchange contracts and equity futures. The bank at this stage does not engage in interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements and FX Options.

A forward foreign exchange contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified future date at an agreed rate. Equity futures are exchange traded contractual agreements to either buy or sell a specified security at a specific price and date in the future. The Bank enters into these contracts, primarily for the purposes of squaring currency positions.

All derivatives are recognised at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets. Derivatives are carried in the balance sheet as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative.

Credit risk in respect of derivative financial instruments arises from the potential for a counterparty to default on its contractual obligations. The principal amount of the derivative contract does not represent real exposure to credit risk, which is limited to the positive fair value of instruments.

The details of commitments under forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at year-end have been given in note 24. There was no equity futures position at the year end.

38.1. In addition to the above, the Chief Executive and Key Executives are provided with free use of bank's maintained cars and security services.
39. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of traded investments is based on quoted market price. Fair value of unquoted equity investments is determined on the basis of break-up value of these investments as per the latest financial statements.

Fair value of fixed term financing, other assets, other liabilities and fixed term deposits cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability due to absence of current and active market for assets and liabilities and reliable data regarding market rates for similar instruments.

The provision for impairment of financing has been calculated in accordance with bank's accounting policy as stated in note 7.5 of these financial statements.

The maturity and repricing profile and effective rates are stated in note 45.6.1 and 45.5 respectively.

In the opinion of the management, the fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities are not significantly different from their carrying values since assets and liabilities are either short term in nature or in the case of customer financing and deposits, are regularly repriced.
40. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The bank makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Some of the critical accounting estimates and judgements are as follows:
40.1. Provision against financing portfolio

The bank reviews its financing portfolio to assess amount of non performing financing and provision required there against on a quarterly basis. The provision is made in accordance with Prudential Regulations issued by the State Bank of Pakistan.

The forced sale values are estimated by independent valuations of the assets mortgaged/pledged. General provision in respect of unidentified financing losses is made based on historical experience for assets with credit risk characteristics. Further, impact of revision in accounting estimate due to the State Bank of Pakistan directives are disclosed in 12.4.1.
40.2. Income taxes

In making the estimates for income taxes currently payable by the bank, the management looks at the current income tax law and the decisions of appellate authorities on disputed issues in the past. However, the bank has made adequate provision in this respect. Therefore, no amount is shown as a contingent liability of the bank.
40.3. Impairment in respect of listed securities

The bank determines that listed available for sale securities are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in fair value below its cost. In making this judgement, the bank evaluates among other factors volatility in share prices in normal course.

If the bank considers that a deficit is temporary, it is classified as a revaluation loss / (deficit) and if the impairment is considered of a permanent nature, it is treated as provision for diminution in value of investments.
40.4. Gratuity

The bank has adopted certain actuarial assumptions as disclosed in note 36.1 to the financial statements for determining present value of defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets, based on actuarial advice. Any change in the assumptions from actual results would change the amount of unrecognised gains and losses.
40.5. Operating fixed assets

The bank has revised the estimate regarding the residual values of all fixed assets and useful life of leasehold land as referred to in note 7.6 to these financial statements.
40.6. Segmentation

As per the requirements of the new format of financial statements issued by State Bank of Pakistan, the management has divided the bank into four functional segments. The basis of segmentation and related assumptions are disclosed in note 7.17.
41. SEGMENT DETAILS WITH RESPECT TO BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

For management purposes the bank is organised into four major business segments

Corporate Finance;

Trading and Sales;

Retail Banking; and

Commercial Banking.

All assets, liabilities, off balances sheet items, and items of income and expense are distributed in accordance with the core functions performed by the business groups.

Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions.

The bank has a well-defined credit structure duly approved by the Board of Directors under which credit committees comprising of senior officers with required credit background are operating which critically scrutinize and sanction financing. Bank's exposure to credit is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by groups of counterparties that share similar attributes. To reduce the potential for risk concentration, credit limits are established and monitored in light of changing counterparty and market conditions.

Bank's strategy is to provide short to medium term trade related financing to reputable names, which are self-liquidating. Besides financial, industry and transaction analysis, the credit evaluation also includes risk-rating system which gauges risk rating of all customers having numeric value assigned to each one. The risk appraisal system of the bank has enabled it to build a sound portfolio. The bank has developed a system to monitor problem accounts so that instant instructions based on an early warning signal are passed on to units to deal with potential problem accounts.

Out of the total financial assets of Rs. 113.043 billion, the financial assets which were subject to credit risk amounted to Rs. 105.836 billion.

Investments in Federal Government Securities amounting to Rs. 8.54 billion are guaranteed by the Government of Pakistan (GoP).

Also guaranteed through a letter of comfort issued by GoP is investment to the extent of Rs. 2.29 billion in NIT Units, as referred to in note 11.2.4 to the financial statements. The bank's major credit risk is concentrated in textile sector. To manage credit risk, the bank grants credit limits to its customers and obtains adequate collaterals against financing.
45.1.1. Segment by class of business.

Portfolio management is an integral part of the bank's credit process. Risk concentration may arise where total exposure to a particular group or industry is high in relation to shareholders' equity. The bank has set up a portfolio strategy and planning function with an aim to monitor the overall risk and to avoid high exposure to a single group or industry.

Segmental information in respect of the class of business and geographical distribution of financing, deposits, and contingencies and commitments is given below:

45.2. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in earnings and capital due to adverse changes in interest rates (Interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (Foreign exchange risk), equity prices and market conditions (Equity position risk). The level of market risk is influenced by the volatility and the liquidity in the markets in which financial instruments operate.

The bank seeks to mitigate market risk by employing strategies that correlate rate, price, and spread movements of its earning assets, liabilities and trading activities. The most significant market risks the bank faces are interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange and equity price risks. The details of market risk faced by the bank are discussed in following notes.
45.3. Foreign Exchange Risk / Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Changes in currency rates affect the value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and may affect revenues from foreign exchange dealing.

The bank does not take any currency exposure except to the extent of statutory Net Open Position limit prescribed by SBP. Foreign Exchange open and mismatch positions are controlled through internal limits and are marked to market on a daily basis to contain forward exposures.

Counterparty and stop loss limits are also in place in accordance with the bank's approved Standard Operating Procedures to limit risk and concentration.

 Risk Sensitivity Gap
==========================================================================================================================================================================================================
45.5.1. Yield risk is the risk of decline in earnings due to adverse movement of the yield curve.
45.5.2. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the market interest rates.
45.5.3. The interest rate exposure taken by the bank arises from investing in corporate, small medium enterprises, consumer financing, investment banking and interbank activities where variation in market interest rates may affect the profitability of the bank. This risk is addressed by an Asset and Liability Management Committee which reviews the interest rate dynamics at regular intervals and decides repricing of assets and liabilities ensuring that the spread of the bank remains at an acceptable level.
45.5.4. The finances and deposits of the bank are repriced on a periodic basis based on interest rates scenario.
45.5.5. Operating fixed assets and deferred tax assets and prepayments are non financial assets. Similarly, provision for taxation, deferred tax liability and prepayments are non-financial liabilities. These are not considered in the yield / interest risk sensitivity gap. The difference between the total assets and financial assets and total liabilities and financial liabilities is Rs. 2.427 million and Rs 2.461 million respectively.
45.6. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk is the potential for loss to the bank arising from either its inability to meet its obligations or to fund increase in assets as they fall due without incurring unacceptable cost or losses. The bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee manages the liquidity position on a continuous basis. The Committee monitors the maintenance of balance sheet liquidity ratios, depositors' concentration both in terms of overall funding mix and avoidance of undue reliance on large individual deposits and liquidity contingency plans. Moreover, the shareholders' equity and core retail deposits, (current accounts and savings accounts) form a considerable part of bank's overall funding, therefore, significant importance is attached to their stability and growth.

* Included in cash and balances with treasury banks are the current and deposit accounts with the State Bank of Pakistan which are maintained to meet the Statutory Liquidity Reserve Requirements (SLR). Thus these are classified in the categories based on the maturity of deposits and other accounts with the hank.
** As per SBP's requirement, the entire balance held in saving deposit accounts is classified under the maturity band of upto one month. However, it is expected that these deposits will be maintained over a longer period without withdrawal.

45.7. Operational Risk

Operational Risk is the risk of direct or indirect losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human factors, or from external events. The bank's businesses are dependent on the ability to process a large number of transactions efficiently and accurately. Operational risks and losses originate from operational process reliability, IT security, natural disasters, dependence on key suppliers, fraud, error, customer service quality, regulatory compliance, retention of staff, and social and environmental impacts.
