CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders and Stakeholders

The financial year 2015 (FY2015) has been a challenging year
as we faced a number of economic headwinds in addition to
an increasingly dynamic operating environment. Despite these
challenges, Hong Leong Bank Group (the Group) remains
committed towards delivering a strong and sustainable financial
performance predicated on the core principles of the Group as
well as advancing its key strategic priorities. In short, the Group
will continue to create progressive and substantive business
value over time for its shareholders.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK
I am pleased to
present to you the
Annual Report and
Financial Statements
of the Group and of
Hong Leong Bank
(the Bank) for the
financial year ended
30 June 2015.
The global economy started the year 2014 on a stronger footing, and grew at a moderate
pace of 3.4%, led by faster growth in the US and sustained growth in Asia. However, as
the year progressed, the world economy began to witness uneven growth across major
economies - with the US gaining traction but weak business sentiments manifesting
in the Eurozone and Asia. China was showing more evident signs of a slowdown while
Japan slipped into recession again, dragging neighboring economies along.
As a result of the uneven global growth, major central banks adopted diverging
monetary policies. The US Federal Reserves ended its quantitative easing programme,
while other major central banks namely the European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and
Peoples Bank of China extended their monetary stimulus during the year to support
growth in their economies.
For 2014, although the Malaysian economy managed to register a good growth rate of
6.0% (2013: 4.7%), driven primarily by robust domestic demand, there were already signs
of harsher economic headwinds towards the latter part of 2014 with lower commodity
prices, a more subdued property sector and a marked drop in oil prices. Real GDP growth
expanded at a slower pace of 5.3% in the first half of 2015, amidst increased challenges
from domestic and external headwinds.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
11
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Total assets continued to grow from

RM170 billion as at 30 June 2014 to
RM184 billion as at 30 June 2015.
CONTINUOUS QUEST FOR

SUSTAINABILITY
The Group remains steadfast towards
building long-term, sustainable value for
all its stakeholders. Towards this end,
efforts for the year continued to evolve
around strengthening key business
drivers, embedding excellent customer
service, integrating multiple distribution
channels, and leveraging on technology
to offer first-class digital solutions.
LONG TERM VALUE CREATION FOR

ALL STAKEHOLDERS
It has been a tough operating environment
for banks given the global and domestic
uncertainties. In addition, across the
banking industry, margins remain under
pressure with higher capital requirements
reducing returns.
Amidst these challenges, the Group
delivered a commendable set of results.
Profit before tax for FY2015 was up 5.1%
year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM2,746 million,
boosted by improved net interest income,
impairment write-back reflective of
improved asset quality and higher profit
contribution from associates. This year
also witnessed a record net profit of
RM2,233 million, representing a 6.2% YOY
growth.
12
Corporate Section
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Total assets continued to grow from

RM170.4 billion as at 30 June 2014 to
RM184.0 billion as at 30 June 2015. Total
gross loans and financing hit RM113.4
billion, recording the highest loan growth
of 8.9% since the merger of EON Bank.
Total customer deposits expanded
another 7.7% to a total of RM140.3 billion.
The Bank is pleased to announce that
its earnings per share (EPS) improved
by 5.9% y-o-y to 126 sen, whilst its
return on equity remained robust at
14.3% for FY2015. Our share price closed
at RM13.40 for FY2015, representing
a 63% appreciation over five years,
outperforming both the FBM KLCI Index
and FBM KLFin Index by approximately
30%.
The Board had proposed a final dividend
of 26 sen per share, payable on 18
November 2015, subject to the approval
of shareholders in the coming Annual
General Meeting on 27 October 2015. For
the financial year ended 30 June 2015, the
total dividends for HLB would be 41 sen
per share, translating into a payout ratio
of approximately 32%.
UPHOLDING EXCELLENT ASSET

QUALITY
In line with the Groups commitment to
protect long-term value, asset quality
will remain a priority. Key asset quality

indicators continue to outperform the
industry with gross impaired loans ratio
improving significantly by 35 basis points
to another record low of 0.84% in the
fourth quarter of FY2015. Loan impairment
coverage was at 136%, the highest in the
banking system.
SUSTAINING GROWTH IN ISLAMIC

BANKING
Islamic finance remains an important
component in the growth of the Malaysian
financial sector. Islamic banking assets
had consistently recorded double-digit
annual growth rate since year 2000
and now represents 22% of the nations
domestic banking assets.
This achievement is a result of Bank
Negara Malaysias (BNM) continuous
efforts to strengthen operational standards
in the area of Shariah governance and
regulatory framework. The introduction of
the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 and
its supporting standards provided greater
certainty and clarity to Shariah contractbased financial products and offerings.
Hong Leong Islamic Bank Berhad (HLISB)
has continually recorded healthy growth
since its inception in 2005. For FY2015,
HLISB recorded a profit after tax of RM200
million, while gross Islamic financing
expanded by 11% to RM16.1 billion. HLISB

contributed 13% and 14% of the Groups
total deposits and financing respectively.
Significant steps were taken to enhance
the intermediation of Islamic finance
throughout the year, anchored by
improved delivery channels through
concept branches and the digital banking
space. In January 2015, the first concept
branch was launched by the Ministry of
Science, Technology and Innovation in
Putrajaya, paving the way for more costefficient delivery channels for higher
traffic retail locations. Additionally,
to
promote
greater
cross-border
transactions, a foreign remittance service
was also launched, utilising cash recycling
machines to convert the Malaysian
Ringgit into Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
and remit IDR to Indonesia. In recognition
of HLISBs efforts, The Asset, a leading
issuer and investor-focused publication in
Asia, awarded HLISB the Triple-A Islamic
Finance Awards 2015 under the category
of Best Bank for Digital Innovation.
Going forward, HLISB will continue to
play a pivotal role in supporting the
Islamic Banking agenda in the country,
where it is committed to drive growth
in new business segments and enhance
its offerings for both retail and corporate
segments.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
13
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
REGIONAL GROWTH
The Group continued to make significant
inroads in growing our reach and presence
in the region. Total profit contribution from
international operations remained steady
despite the uncertainties surrounding
the regional economies and contributed
15.4% to the Groups pre-tax profit in
FY2015.
Bank of Chengdu Co Ltd (BOCD) remains
the Groups leading contributor towards
the Groups international operations.
Amidst a slower economy resulting from
continued implementation of policy
reforms in China, BOCD continues to
contribute positively to the Group with
its profit contribution improving by 8.9%
y-o-y to RM401 million, translating to
14.6% of the Groups profit before tax.
14
In FY2015, HL Bank Singapore (HLBS)

continues to demonstrate strong business
momentum with a robust 32% y-o-y
loans growth to RM3.5 billion. In the
coming year, new strategic priorities for
HLBS would include the expansion of its
new Personal Financial Services business,
with focus on hire purchase as well as a
niche health banking segment.
In just two years, Hong Leong Bank
(Cambodia) PLC (HLBCAM), our greenfield operation, recorded an impressive
gross loans growth of 205.1% y-o-y to
RM266 million with deposits concurrently
growing 196.3% to RM171 million. Four
new branches were opened during
the year, bringing the total number of
branches in Cambodia to five locations.
Some of these branches were designed
and equipped with digital facilities
(similar to the Groups MACH branch

proposition) as well as priority and SME
banking lounges, to enable HLBCAM to
better serve the affluent and tech savvy
customers.
At Hong Leong Bank Vietnam (HLBVN),
protecting asset quality remained a top
priority whilst maintaining our growth
momentum albeit in a recovering
economy. Total gross loans and deposits
for HLBVN for FY2015 stood at RM319
million and RM544 million respectively.
In terms of its distribution network,
the Bank maintained its four outlets in
Vietnam. Moving forward, to augment
its limited branch presence, HLBVN
will invest into the development of a
digital-based infrastructure and product
offerings to expand its distribution and
reach in Vietnam.
Corporate Section
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
OUTLOOK
Moving forward, the global economic growth is expected to remain sluggish as
uncertainties surrounding global policy shifts and increased financial markets
volatility would have repercussions on macroeconomic conditions.
In the local context, the Malaysian economy is expected to soften and expand at
a slower pace between 4.3% to 4.8% for 2015; impacted by both domestic and
external headwinds, reduced domestic demand, lower commodity & oil prices and
potential downside risks to global growth.
We shall remain vigilant to the risks we take, be judicious in our spending whilst
investing in our future strategic plans and look for opportunities to capitalise and
grow in these challenging times.
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors,
our customers, business partners and shareholders for their continuous support and
trust. My special appreciation goes to the entire team at the Bank and the Group
for their passion, commitment, dedication and professionalism. My sincere thanks
also go to Bank Negara Malaysia, the Ministry of Finance, Government agencies
and regulatory authorities for their invaluable assistance, continuous guidance and
support.

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REVIEW
Dear Shareholders, Customers and Business Partners

It has been a challenging year for the banking industry
amidst volatility and uncertainties in the commodity,
financial markets as well as global economies coupled
with a highly competitive operating landscape. Despite
the prevalent headwinds, the Group has made meaningful
strides in delivering a commendable set of financial
results whilst ensuring that we continue to focus on
creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.
16
Corporate Section
Guided by the Groups core values,

I am convinced that the Group has
accomplished most of the strategic
objectives outlined at the start of the
year. We have reinvigorated loans growth
and regained traction in areas where
we lagged, strengthened the wealth
management business, introduced firstto-market propositions in digital offerings
while maintaining a strong presence via
our extensive network.
I am pleased to present to you the Annual
Report and Financial Statements of
Hong Leong Bank Berhad (the Group or
Bank) for the financial year 2014/2015.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Global growth for the year especially
for developing markets has been
uneven during the year resulting in the
implementation of divergent monetary
policies, with the US being the lone
central bank ending quantitative easing,
paving the way for policy normalisation.
Slowdown anxieties in China, protracted
concerns over contagion from Greece,
geopolitical jitters, and steep fall in oil
prices have dampened overall growth
outlook and will continue to pose
downside risks to global growth going
forward. Growth in the Asian economies
has also moderated amid increased
challenges on both the domestic and
external fronts.
STEADY PROFIT GROWTH

For the financial year ended 30 June 2015
(FY2015), we are pleased to announce
that the Group achieved a record profit
after tax of RM2,233 million, representing
a 6.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth.
Net interest income improved by 2.3%
y-o-y to RM3,140 million largely on the
back of enlarged loan base and expansion
in our securities portfolio. Net interest
margin for the Bank came in within our
expectation at 2.01% amidst intensified
competition for both loans and deposits
against a backdrop of increased liquidity
requirement standards.
In addition, non-interest income regained
momentum towards the second half of
the year bolstered by improved treasury
market activities and stronger wealth
management contribution, leading to
total non-interest income of RM927
million for FY2015.
During the year, total operating expenses
grew a marginal 1% to RM1,814 million
translating into a healthy cost-to-income
ratio of 44.6%. This was accomplished
by managing down the expenses in our
business-as-usual operations, reflected
by a 2% y-o-y decline while carefully
reinvesting back the savings into new
investments to ensure sustainability of
future business growth.
We strive to continuously deliver value

and returns to our shareholders. Return
on equity remained strong at 14.3%, one
of the highest in the banking industry
while earnings per share enhanced to 126
sen. Net assets per share rose by 15.4%
to RM9.51 as return on assets remained
robust at 1.3%.
LOAN GROWTH MOMENTUM

CONTINUES
Gross loans and financing continued to
gain pace, expanding by 8.9% y-o-y to
close at RM113.4 billion, the highest pace
of growth since 2011. Retail segment
remained the key growth driver,
contributing 69% of the Groups total loan
portfolio. Retail loans for FY2015 expanded
by a strong 10.4% y-o-y, led by growth in
mortgages and transport vehicle loans
which outpaced industry growth.
Business
and
Corporate
Banking
maintained its growth momentum
with 2.3% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q)
expansion amidst a challenging and
highly competitive business environment.
Loans and Financing to SMEs continued to
register a healthy 9.1% y-o-y growth to
RM17.8 billion.
Loans growth was also supported by our
overseas operations recording a strong
34.3% y-o-y loan expansion, led by
Singapore and Cambodia.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
17
STRONG FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY POSITIONS

We continued to maintain a prudent approach towards liquidity management. Our
Loans-to-Deposits Ratio stood at 80.9%, amongst the most prudent in the industry. Our
funding position remains stable and supportive of business growth, on the back of the
Groups strong retail deposit franchise.
Total customer deposits expanded by 7.7% y-o-y or a strong 2.7% q-o-q to RM140.3
billion as at 30 June 2015. Individual deposit mix for the Group was 50.1%, amongst
the highest retail concentration in the banking industry, whilst CASA grew 5.3% y-o-y
representing a mix of 25.6%.
SUPERIOR ASSET QUALITY AND ROBUST CAPITAL LEVELS
Whilst the Group continued to embark on its strategic growth initiatives, upholding
our superior asset quality through a combination of prudent credit risk management
approach and proactive recovery management remained our utmost priority.
18
Corporate Section
The Group maintained its leading position in key asset quality indicators, continuously
outperforming the banking system. Gross impaired loans ratio improved significantly by
35 basis points to another record low of 0.84% in FY2015. Our loan impairment coverage
at 136% was the highest in the banking system.
The Group capital levels remained healthy with Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total
Capital Ratios at 10.8%, 11.9% and 14.3% respectively, well above the regulatory minimum
requirements. The Group will continue to undertake proactive capital management and
maintain a healthy capital level, which is supportive of future business expansions.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Our people are our greatest assets and we believe our people are the key differentiator
of our success. As the talent war within the financial services industry intensifies, we
continued to build our employer branding to attract new talent whilst focusing on
internal talent development to ensure that our human capital resource remains relevant
and resilient.
In keeping up with the fast-changing trends in recruitment, the Group invested into
upgrading its recruitment processes by leveraging on technology and social media, as
well as talent mapping tools to ensure proper job fit. This had resulted in a more efficient
and seamless hiring process whilst building our employer branding through social
media to reach out and engage talents in the market place. At the same time, we also
encouraged our employees to organise and participate in Corporate Social Responsibility
activities to promote holistic people development and to inculcate purpose and pride as
an employee of the Group.
STRONGER REGIONAL FRANCHISE

Regional expansions continue to be an important agenda for the Group as we continued
to focus on appropriate customer segments and scalable business propositions which
would create substantive business value.
Total profit contribution from international operations accounted for 15.4% of the Groups
pre-tax profit in FY2015. Despite the slowing economy in China, Bank of Chengdu
(BOCD) continued to be a key contributor to the Group with profit contribution from
BOCD expanding 8.9% y-o-y to RM401 million, contributing to 14.6% of the Groups profit
before tax in FY2015. HLB Hong Kong continues to focus on the Global Market business
and leverage on BOCD to develop its trade services.
During the year, HL Bank Singapore (HLBS) has embarked on a transformational
journey towards an integrated business model, expanding into consumer banking and
health banking. It has been an eventful year for the health banking segment bolstered
by various initiatives that were rolled out including the launch of an internet based
medical concierge in Singapore, further strengthening the foundation of our regional
health banking proposition. For FY2015, HLBS achieved an impressive loan growth of
32% y-o-y to RM3.5 billion, and remained the largest overseas contributor to the Group
in respect of gross loans.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
19
Hong Leong Bank (Cambodia) PLC (HLBCAM), recorded an impressive 205.1%

y-o-y gross loans growth to RM266 million whilst deposits grew 196.3% to
RM171 million after only two years of operations. Four new branches were opened
in the year, bringing the total number of branches in Cambodia to five locations.
HLBCAMs immediate focus would be capturing new business opportunities through
our expanded distribution channels, as well as building a robust operational
support function to deliver excellent customer experience. In May 2015, HLBCAM
has also successfully launched its internet banking platform.
Whilst seeking opportunities to grow loans in a recovering economy in Vietnam,
Hong Leong Bank Vietnam (HLBVN) continued to emphasise on protecting asset
quality as a top priority. HLBVN remained focused on scaling up market share in key
sectors of the economy as well as building business propositions with Malaysian
companies seeking to expand into Vietnam. Total gross loans and deposits for
HLBVN for FY2015 stood at RM319 million and RM544 million respectively.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
We remain committed towards driving operational excellence in business
execution to deliver sustainable profitability and long-term value. Following
through from the momentum built from last years initiatives, the Bank focused
primarily on four strategic pillars in FY2015:
1.
Strengthen business drivers by focusing resources on target market segments,

improving efficiency and productivity
2. Entrench service excellence at every step of the customers journey
3. Deepen community embedment and integrate multiple distribution channels
4. Leverage on Best in Class technology platforms to offer digital solutions and
e-payment capabilities
Aligning all our key action plans to these four pillars, we made good progress over
the year and are pleased to highlight some of our major achievements:
1. Leverage on Analytics and Excellent Customer Experience to Drive
Transformation

20
The Group started to leverage on Big Data analytics by capturing customers

experience with the Groups products and services with its new social media
and analytics capability. This initiative provided insights to enhance the
Groups service as well as to generate leads for more effective cross-selling
and acquisitions. As of September 2014, the Group implemented web chat for
live chat inquiries, secured email, intelligent FAQ for self service and video
chat for branch support. Continued efforts to enhance customer turnaround
time had resulted in over 70% of the customers at the branch being served
within 5 minutes. Significant progress was also seen at the call centre, with
83% of customers calls being answered within 20 seconds.
Corporate Section
2. Focus on Wealth Management Propositions

We continued to strengthen our Priority Banking Relationship Managers

team to offer higher customer engagement and to drive new investment
accounts in partnership with HL Asset Management (HLAM). As a result,
new Unit Trust investment accounts grew by 43% y-o-y.
The team of insurance specialists set up in partnership with Hong Leong

Assurance continued to support the growth of the Bancassurance business.
The total number of Bancassurance customers doubled in FY2015 and the
Banks total insurance premiums expanded by 37% y-o-y.
3. Drive Retail Community Bank (RCB)

RCB is a focus area for the Bank to better service our retail SME customers
through the Banks extensive branch network and the development of
branch community intelligence.
We have targeted new CASA acquisition through the introduction of new

products and solutions, tactical campaigns and promotions to improve
brand recognition and customer loyalty.
4. Digital Banking

The fourth strategic priority of the Group was to continue investing into
digital technology to leverage on Best in Class technological platforms to
offer digital solutions and e-payment capabilities. Since the implementation
of the new retail digital banking platform, the Group had achieved the
following as compared to same period of last year:
28% increase in Online Banking users, out of which 17% are mobile
banking users
207% increase in Mobile Banking users
36% increase in transactional users
58% increase in financial transaction volume

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS

PERSONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES (PFS)
PFS continued to show healthy domestic
loan and deposit growth which were
in line with the industry, accounting for
69% and 52% of the Groups portfolio
respectively on the back of strong business
fundamentals and prudent management
despite a slower domestic economy and
intense competition. In addition, asset
quality continues to improve, as reflected
by a further reduction of Gross impaired
loans ratio in FY2015 on the back of
prudent risk management standards.
PFS remained the main profit contributor
to the Group, contributing 58% of the
Groups revenue and 40% of its pre-tax
profits.
Key highlights for the year:

22
PFS Loans
Loan growth in FY2015 was led by the
Mortgage portfolio which registered a
stronger than industry growth of 15%
y-o-y, owing to the strong foundation
that has been built over the years as
well as our extensive branch network
reach to the communities that we
serve and a wide offering of products
and services that caters to different

customer needs.

Auto loans regained traction and

improved to RM17.7 billion as at
30 June 2015, underpinned by our
extensive branch network which
allows us to tap into the auto
dealerships within our reach. Sales
management for this portfolio was
decentralised to enable more efficient
sales executions and to facilitate the
building of regional market share.
At the same time, loan processes
were continually reviewed and reengineered to improve turn-around
time and customer experience.
Driving
value
and
relevance
continue to be the mainstay of the
Groups credit cards proposition. We
continue to strive for innovation
and differentiation at local and
international point of sale whilst
exploring
potential
commercial
and e-commerce opportunities.
Headlining our achievements in
FY2015, the Credit Card division
bagged 2 awards at the recent
Cards International and Electronic
Payments International (CEPI) Asia
Trailblazer Awards 2014. Hong Leong
Bank Wise Card triumphed as the
winner in Best Credit Card Product of
the Year Asia Pacific whilst the GSC
Hong Leong Credit Card was also
awarded the Best Card Marketing
Campaign. We also won a VISA award
for the Highest Payment Volume
Growth for Gold Card for the second
consecutive year.

PFS Deposits
Our retail deposit business grew in
tandem with industry and maintained
its third position with an 11.5% market
share. Significant deposit promotions
for the year included collaboration
with The Star publication for Win
With Words contest in June 2014;
the first scented Hello Kitty fruity
debit card debut in March 2015, a tieup with IKEA for Chinese New Year
CASA promotion and two micro SME

deposit programmes in October 2014
and Mar 2015.
Retail
Wealth
Management
Services
The Groups overall insurance
premium posted a 37% growth,
mainly contributed by regular
premium and single premium sales,
whilst its fee income rose by a
healthy 42% y-o-y.

We continued to leverage on our

partnership with HLA to place
dedicated teams of Insurance
Specialists in branches to further
penetrate the regular premium
business.
Priority Banking
PFS continued to enhance Priority
Banking (PB) propositions and
product offerings to PB customers.
The PB customer base grew 8%
over FY2014 whilst total liquid assets
grew 10% y-o-y. We continued to
strengthen our PB Relationship
Managers and deepened customer
engagement to grow new investment
accounts, resulting in total number of
new Unit Trust investment accounts
growing by 43% over the last
financial year. We remain focused on
building our platform to serve our PB
customers by offering total banking
solutions that are consistent to their
needs.
Retail Community Business

Retail Community Business (RCB),
a new initiative targeting the retail
SME segment via integrated banking
solutions was launched during the
year leveraging on the Groups
wide branch franchise to support
community business sales and
services. RCB deposit base grew 15%
over the last year and will continue to
be a key focus segment for the Group
in the coming year.
Corporate Section
Mach
Mach
had
been
successfully
expanding the Groups presence
into the younger, tech-savvy market
and continued to spearhead the
brand on digital and social fronts
in this segment. Customer base
grew by an impressive 72% y-o-y.
Mach expanded its branch footprint
to twelve, with the latest branch
located at Setia City Mall.

The Hong Leong Bank Facebook page

was launched for less than a year
and Mach is already achieving a high
engagement level, drawing a total of
over 160,000 likes.
BUSINESS AND CORPORATE BANKING

For FY2015, the Groups Business and
Corporate Banking division contributed
22% and 29% respectively to the Groups
revenue and profit. The divisions loan
assets grew a modest 3% amidst
moderating loans growth in the

banking system and intensified margin
compression. Concurrently, deposits grew
7% despite stiff competition. The Groups
focus on securing sustainable, low cost
deposits had assisted in cushioning the
pressure of increased cost of funds.
The Groups strategy remained focused
on supporting growth sectors that
were expected to largely benefit SMEs
as we forecasted the growth of the
Malaysian economy to be continually led
predominantly by domestic activities,
mainly attributable to the SME Master
Plan and the Economic Transformation
Programme initiatives.
In our pursuit to entrench ourselves within
the SME community and to promote SME
development, we continued to engage
and maintain strong ties with the various
local trade associations and business
partners. In FY2015, loans approved to
domestic SME business enterprises grew
31.2%. The Groups strong presence
across Malaysia helped us understand

the challenges faced by SMEs and this
has enabled us to address their business
needs more effectively.
The Corporate and Structured Finance
segment offers corporate clients a
comprehensive suite of products and
services, leveraging on our alliances
and close collaborations with Hong
Leong Investment Bank (HLIB), Hong
Leong Islamic Bank (HLISB) and
Global Markets. The division leverages
on market opportunities that are in
line with Malaysias GDP growth areas
for sustainable growth with a view to
reshape the portfolio into one with more
recurring business.
Several strategic cost management
initiatives involving improvements to
the value chain were also implemented
to increase our efficiency and cost
competitiveness.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015

products. The Asset had also recognised

our continued strength in Fixed Income
with top three positions in Sales, Research
and Investment.
ISLAMIC BANKING
FY2015 saw changes in the regulatory
and Shariah requirements in the Islamic
banking industry. Hence during the
year, considerable efforts were directed
towards ensuring that the operations of
HLISB were in compliance. Amongst the
key initiatives was the completion of
the reclassification exercise of Islamic
deposits under the Islamic Financial
Services Act 2013.
HLISB remains mindful of the importance
of Shariah governance and compliance,
and will continue to focus on the active
management of underlying assets to meet
depositors expectations while observing
the Shariah tenets of risk-return contracts.
GLOBAL MARKETS
Global Markets (GM) turned in a strong
performance for FY2015, with its pretax profit growing 8.7% y-o-y driven by
higher bond investment yields and fixed
income trading profitability, contributing
15% of the Groups profit.
We continued to focus on key Corporate,
Retail and Wealth Management client
relationships in the core product areas
of Foreign Exchange, Fixed Income and
Derivatives, and Structured Products with
special attention accorded to Islamic
segment due to the strong product suite
from HLISB.
Our lead franchise position was affirmed
by Asiamoney, by winning leading
positions across many categories, and
for being accorded the top place in FX
Product and Services, and Interest Rate
24
Corporate Section
Our Islamic scholars are well versed with

the constant developments of Shariah
regulations, and possess the necessary
skills and expertise in developing
appropriate and compliant products and
offerings.
Against market headwinds and operational
exposures throughout the year, HLISB
demonstrated satisfactory growth with
a profit after tax of RM200 million for
FY2015, on the back of growth in profit
income of 8% to RM975 million. Operating
expenses marginally increased by 2% or
RM4 million due to efforts made in line
with business expansion activities and
compliance-related activities. Total assets
stood at RM23.3 billion as at 30 June 2015,
with an expansion in gross financing of
11% y-o-y to RM16.1 billion, fuelled by
growth in retail and business banking
segments. Core deposits demonstrated
a healthy growth of 19% y-o-y to RM15.0
billion, driven primarily by the increase
in Commodity Murabahah deposits.
Retail deposits base have enlarged by

28% y-o-y to RM7.6 billion, with an
improvement in the retail deposit mix to
41.1% as compared to 35.3% a year ago.
HLISBs asset quality indicators remained
healthy during the financial year under
review, where gross impaired financing
ratio and financing impairment allowance
coverage ratio improved to 0.7% and
139%, from 1.3% and 117% respectively.
HLISB remains well capitalised with a
total capital ratio of 15.2%.
We believe the business momentum

will be sustained in light of the positive
environment,
along
with
HLISBs
strategy and the strength of its customer
franchise. HLISB will continue to focus on
growth, to lead in digital offerings and
remain committed to deliver value to
shareholders over the medium to long
term.
We are optimistic in the development of

the Islamic finance sector. The industry
had been receiving favourable attention
and gaining traction with countries such
as China, where regional hubs continued
to be set up to cater for the rising growth
of this industry. Malaysia remained the
preferred choice for Sukuk issuances, with
a total of 65.6% of new global issuances
of Sukuk originated in Malaysia, and it is
poised to become the market leader in
Islamic finance.
Given an uncertain backdrop, we expect

a more gradual recovery in the global
economy in the mid-term. Weaknesses
in several major economies continue
to pose downside risks to the global
economy and given the openness of the
Malaysian economy, we remain cautiously
optimistic that the domestic economy
will continue to see moderate growth in
the coming year. The diverse structure
of the Malaysian economy and exports
profile had cushioned the impact of the
decline in oil prices. Malaysia will need to
focus on strengthening and growing its
domestic sector, which will continue to
be the key driver of growth, anchored by
private sector activity with further support
from manufactured exports.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe in serving our communities,

which include our employees, customers,
business partners and the environment,
as our partners. We have a common
understanding that without the community,
there is no company.
At Hong Leong Bank Berhad (HLBB), we strive

to go beyond CSR and integrate sustainability
in everything that we do. We need to move
away from a list of check boxes to meaningful
action to ensure impact to create real change
for the better. This has impacted our actions
this past year and will continue to affect our
thinking moving forward. We take this effort
seriously and are not simply motivated by
trying to enhance our corporate image. We
need to genuinely transform by integrating
sustainability into the heart of our businesses
and we are slowly making inroads into this.
We believe in serving our communities,
which include our employees, customers,
business partners and the environment, as
our partners. We have a common
understanding that without the community,
there is no company. The Hong Leong Group
sees CSR, or more accurately, sustainability,
as integral to its mission. The Group contributes
to the socio-economic development of the
nation through its business growth, promoting
education, providing aid to marginalised
communities, supporting and developing
local talent, propagating green practices and
practicing sustainable supply-chain in its
operations.
28
Corporate Section
Below is our commitment to each of the

focus areas under the Hong Leong Group
Sustainability Plan:
WORKPLACE
HLBB is committed to upholding the
human rights of our employees and
treating them with dignity and respect.
We strive to deliver innovative solutions
as well as to create an inspiring and
conducive working environment.
HLBB also aims to ensure that the health,
safety and welfare of our employees are
well taken care of and we acknowledge
our responsibility towards employees
who may be affected by our activities.
The Bank identifies and hires local talent
through our Graduate Development
Programme a programme in which we
hire fresh local graduates to undergo a

training program under the Business &
Corporate Banking Department for 18
months. This programme aims to identify
and develop young graduates into relevant
fields of talents to support the growth of
the Group. It entails classroom training,
on-the-job
familiarisation,
learning
assignments as well as mentoring. For
the non-executives, various in-house and
external programmes were conducted
to enhance their technical competencies
as well as supervisory skills in order to
develop a competent workforce that is
knowledgeable and highly motivated.
Since its founding, HLBB has demonstrated
an on-going commitment to people and to
fair employment practices. HLBBs growth
and expansion throughout the region has
created a more diverse work force by
tapping on our people who have different
experiences, perspectives and cultures.
This has allowed the Group to build on its

creativity and innovation which helps the
organisation to realise its full potential.
We believe that a well-managed, diverse
and inclusive work force expands the
Groups base of knowledge, skills and
cross-cultural understanding, which in
turn, enables us to understand, relate
and respond to our diverse and changing
customers throughout the world. Our
overall commitment is reflected in our
diversity and inclusion philosophy.
Consistent with our Best Work Environment
practices, we maintain a work
environment free from discrimination
and we comply with all applicable laws
pertaining to non-discrimination and
equal opportunity. This is evidenced by
the diverse ethnic and social backgrounds
of members, staff and clients.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
29
ENVIRONMENT
HLBB endeavours to identify and minimise the negative environmental impacts of
our products and business activities. We take steps to reduce environmental impact
wherever possible.
Our environmental initiatives include smart and careful consumption of resources,
water, emissions to air, waste generation, energy use and procurement processes.
We are committed to minimising our environmental impact and encouraging greater
sustainability throughout our business.
In January 2015, HLBB participated in the HLFG Energy Conservation Campaign. Following
HLFGs Do Good Week campaign rolled out during financial year 2014, the Do Good
Week -Energy Conservation initiative was introduced to change energy-using behavior
and develop an energy-management work culture amongst employees by introducing
valuable energy efficiency measures. The year-long initiative, which kicked off in January
2015, aims to inculcate a shared sense of responsibility towards the environment,
besides developing a corporate image of a responsible business which cares for the
environment.
30
Corporate Section
MARKETPLACE
HLBB is committed to good business
ethics and integrity. For many years now,
the Group has had in place internally
generated best practices to ensure
the economic sustainability of all its
companies. Some of these best practices
are:

philanthropic activities through Hong
Leong Foundation, the charitable arm of
Hong Leong Group.
Incorporated in 1992, Hong Leong
Foundation is a corporate foundation
driven by the interest and passion of
the Group. It is funded by contributions
from Hong Leong Group Malaysias (the
Group) companies and is, effectively,
its charitable arm through which most
of the Groups philanthropic activities
are conducted. HLF expended a total of

The total funds disbursed by the
Foundation in the financial year ended 30
June 2015 were RM6.9 million, benefiting
30 charity organisations. During the year,
the Foundation disbursed RM3.2 million
in scholarships to benefit around 200
scholars studying in various universities,
all of whom are from financiallychallenged families. Because gaps
of opportunity exist along the entire
spectrum of education development, the
Foundation has set up a comprehensive
programme to empower their scholars:
enrichment camps and workshops,
internships, mentorships, and other
support to help them excel in their
formative years in university and beyond.

In addition to supporting the Hong Leong

Groups CSR initiatives, HLBB plays our
part as a responsible company that has
people at our heart.
During the year, the Bank participated
in Hong Leong Groups first ever Futsal
Tournament held in December 2014. The
Group Futsal Tournament involved the
participation of the various operating
companies within the Group and ten
childrens homes. The Tournament forms
part of the larger Group Joint CSR initiative
towards building partnerships with the
civil society by moving away from the
redundant donor-donee relationship
into an interactive partnership working
towards much more effective solutions.
As part of the tournament, participating
companies were required to adopt at
least one home and train a team of 11
under-14 futsal players who underwent
futsal training with their respective
32
coaches between the months of October

and December 2014. All team players
were provided with complete soccer attire
consisting of team jerseys, shoes, socks
as well as other gear. They were also
provided with complimentary insurance
policy coverage from Hong Leong MSIG
Takaful and received other collaterals
and merchandise from Hong Leong Bank
Berhad and Hong Leong Islamic Bank.
Hong Leong Islamic Bank also opened
up a savings account for all the children
with a contribution of RM150 each. Every
home which participated also received
RM7,000 contribution from Hong Leong
Foundation through its Community
Welfare Programme project.
Participating homes included the
Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak Kanak Kajang,
House of Love Bukit Tinggi Klang and
Rita Home Kapar, Rumah Kasih Harmoni,

Bank, along with other participants from
Hong Leong Financial Group, Hong Leong
Islamic Bank, Hong Leong Capital, Hong
Leong Investment Bank, Hong Leong
Assurance and Hong Leong MSIG Takaful,
also contributed towards the HLFG Post

Overseas, Hong Leong Bank Vietnam

(HLBVN) sponsored a charity event Run
for the Heart 2014 which was held on
Sunday, 2nd November 2014, which aimed
to provide assistance to children who
suffered from heart disease. Meanwhile,
Hong Leong Bank Cambodia (HLBCAM)
was one of the sponsors of the 24-hour

charity run organized by Northbridge
Community held on 16 May 2014 which was
joined by over six hundred children and
parents. Participants in the Northbridge
International School Cambodia (NISC)
24-Hour Challenge raised donations
through pledges to run, walk or ride
around the NISC 400 meter track. The
goal of the event was to have at least
one runner moving on the track for the
entire 24 hours and raise awareness and
much needed funds for the designated
charity. On 1 June, HLBCAM partnered
with The Platinum Cineplex at Sorya mall
to celebrate International Childrens day
with over 300 children of leading private
primary schools, customers and an NGO
by offering a free Screening of the movie
RIO 2 at The Platinum Cineplex. The event
served as a good foundation as HLBCAM
seeks to introduce a childrens savings
account early next year. Another highlight
was the 4th Phnom Penh International
Half Marathon on 15 June 2014 which
saw 70 participants comprising HLBCAM
employees and families taking part in
the 10km categories. The event organized
by National Olympic Committee of
Cambodia (NOCC) aimed to raise funds
for the national sports development and
encourage a Go Green policy. In July 2014,
HLBCAM, in cooperation with Platinum
Cineplex, created an event, Khmer Movie
Marathon, which served to showcase the
best 60s, 70s and 90s movies in the movie
industry. Proceeds from the ticket sales
to the Movie Marathon were donated to
Sunshine Organization, an organization
which supports poor orphans as well
as their education. In conjunction with
the Movie Marathon, HLBCAM staff also
visited the orphanage to donate clothes,
food and daily essentials.
This Corporate Social Responsibility Statement is made in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE,
RISK MANAGEMENT & INTERNAL CONTROL
Corporate Governance is the process and

structure used to direct and manage the
business and affairs of the Company towards
enhancing business prosperity and corporate
accountability with the ultimate objective of
realising long term shareholder value, whilst
taking into account the interest of other
stakeholders.
~ Finance Committee on Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors (Board) has reviewed the manner in which the Malaysian
Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (the Code) is applied in the Group as set out
below. The Board is pleased to report compliance of the Group with the principles and
recommendations as set out in the Code except where otherwise stated.
A. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD
The Board assumes responsibility for effective stewardship and control of the Bank
and has established terms of reference (TOR) to assist in the discharge of this
responsibility.
The roles and responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Board Charter which is
published on the Banks website, and broadly cover formulation of corporate policies
and strategies; overseeing and evaluating the conduct of the Groups businesses;
identifying principal risks and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems
to manage those risks; and reviewing and approving key matters such as financial
results, investments and divestments, acquisitions and disposals and major capital
expenditure and such other responsibilities that are required of them by Bank Negara
Malaysia (BNM) as specified in guidelines and circulars issued by BNM from time to
time.
There is a clear division of responsibilities between the Chairman and the Group
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (GMD), which are distinct and separate.
Although the Chairman is not an independent director, this segregation of
responsibilities between the Chairman and the GMD ensures an appropriate balance
of roles, responsibilities and accountability.
48
Corporate Section
A. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD (CONTINUED)

The Chairman leads the Board and ensures its smooth and
effective functioning.
The GMD is responsible for the vision and strategic direction

of the Group, implementing the policies and decisions of
the Board, initiating business ideas and corporate strategies
to create competitive edge and enhancing shareholder
wealth, setting the benchmark and targets for operating
companies, overseeing the day-to-day operations and
tracking compliance and business progress.
Independent Non-Executive Directors (INEDs) are

responsible for providing insights, unbiased and
independent views, advice and judgment to the Board
and bring impartiality to Board deliberations and decisionmaking. They also ensure effective checks and balances
on the Board. INEDs do not participate in the day-to-day
management of the Bank and there are no relationships or
circumstances that could interfere with or are likely to affect
the exercise of their independent judgment or the ability to
act in the best interest of the Bank and its shareholders.

The Group continues to operate in a sustainable manner

and seeks to contribute positively to the well-being of
stakeholders. The Groups key corporate social responsibility
activities are set out in the Corporate Social Responsibility
Statement of this Annual Report.
The Board observes the Company Directors Code of
Ethics established by the Companies Commission of
Malaysia (CCM) which is available at CCMs website at
www.ssm.com.my. In addition, the Bank also has a Code
of Conduct and Ethics that sets out sound principles and
standards of good practice which are observed by the
employees.
B. BOARD COMPOSITION

The Board comprises nine (9) directors, eight (8) of whom

are non-executive. Of the non-executive directors, five (5)
are independent. The profiles of the members of the Board
are provided in the Annual Report.
The Bank adheres to BNMs Guidelines on Corporate
Governance for Licensed Institutions (BNM/GP1) in
determining its board composition. The Board shall determine
the appropriate size of the Board to enable an efficient and
effective conduct of Board deliberation. The Board shall have
a balance of skills and experience commensurate with the
complexity, size, scope and operations of the Bank. Board
members should have the ability to commit time and effort
to carry out their duties and responsibilities effectively.
The Board recognises the merits of Board diversity in adding

value to collective skills, perspectives and strengths to the
Board. The Board will consider appropriate targets in Board
diversity including gender balance on the Board and will
take the necessary measures to meet these targets from
time to time as appropriate.
The Board is of the view that the current size and composition
of the Board are appropriate and effective for the control
and direction of the Groups business. The composition of
the Board also fairly reflects the investment of shareholders
in the Bank.

D. INDEPENDENCE

The Board takes cognisance of Recommendation 3.2 of the Code

which states that the tenure of an independent director should
not exceed a cumulative term of 9 years and Recommendation
3.3 of the Code which states that upon completion of the
9 years, an independent director may continue to serve on
the Board subject to the directors re-designation as a nonexecutive director. In the event the Company wishes to retain
an independent director who has served a cumulative term of 9
years and above, shareholders approval shall be sought at the
AGM every year with justification and subject to the favourable
assessment of the NC and the Board.
The Bank has in place a policy in relation to the tenure for
independent directors of the Bank (Tenure Policy) under the
Fit and Proper Policy of the Bank. Pursuant to the Tenure Policy,
an independent director who has served on the Board of any
company under the Hong Leong Financial Group for a period of
9 years continuously or more shall submit a Letter of Intent to
the NC informing of his intention to continue in office or to retire
from the Board as an independent director, upon:-
continued to bring independent and objective judgment to

Board deliberations and decision making. The tenure of all the
independent directors on the Board does not exceed 9 years.

The designation of YBhg Tan Sri A. Razak bin Ramli, Ms Lim Lean
See, Ms Chok Kwee Bee, YBhg Dato Nicholas John Lough @
Sharif Lough bin Abdullah and YBhg Datuk Wira Azhar bin Abdul
Hamid as independent directors have received the approval of
BNM.
Both the independent directors and non-independent directors

are required to submit themselves for re-election at the AGM
every 3 years under the MMLR of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad (Bursa) and Articles of Association of the Bank. In
addition, the re-appointment of directors who have attained 70
years of age and above is subject to shareholders approval at
the AGM under Section 129 of the Companies Act, 1965.
E. COMMITMENT

The directors are aware of their responsibilities and devote

sufficient time to carry out such responsibilities. In line with the
MMLR, directors are required to comply with the restrictions on
the number of directorships in public listed companies. Directors
provide notifications to the Board for acceptance of any new
Board appointments. This ensures that their commitment,
resources and time are focused on the affairs of the Bank
to enable them to discharge their duties effectively. Board
meetings are scheduled a year ahead in order to enable full
attendance at Board meetings. Directors are required to attend
at least 75% of Board meetings held in each financial year
pursuant to the BNM/GP1.
All Board members are supplied with information in a timely

manner. Board reports are circulated prior to Board meetings
and the reports provide, amongst others, financial and corporate
information, significant operational, financial and corporate
issues, updates on the performance of the Bank and of the
Group and managements proposals which require the approval
of the Board.
All directors have access to the advice and services of a qualified

and competent Company Secretary and internal auditors. All
directors also have access to independent professional advice
at the Banks expense, in consultation with the Chairman or the
GMD of the Bank.
At Board meetings, active deliberations of issues by Board

members are encouraged and such deliberations, decisions and
conclusions are recorded by the Company Secretary accordingly.
Any director who has an interest in the subject matter to be
deliberated shall abstain from deliberation and voting on the
same during the meetings.
a) the expiry of his term of office approved by BNM; or

b) the due date for his retirement either by rotation pursuant
to the Articles of Association of the Bank or pursuant to
Section 129(2) of the Companies Act, 1965 as the case may be.

If the intention is to continue in office, the NC shall consider

based on the assessment criteria and guidelines set out in the Fit
and Proper Policy and make the appropriate recommendation to
the Board. If the intention is to retire from office, an application
shall be made to BNM to seek clearance in accordance with
BNM Guidelines. For public listed bank/companies under the
Hong Leong Financial Group, shareholders approval at AGMs
shall be sought in accordance with the relevant requirements
under the Code and the Main Market Listing Requirements
(MMLR) subject to favourable assessment of the NC and the
Board.
The Board seeks to strike an appropriate balance between
tenure of service, continuity of experience and refreshment
of the Board. Although a longer tenure of directorship may
be perceived as relevant to the determination of a directors
independence, the Board recognises that an individuals
independence should not be determined solely based on tenure
of service. Further, the continued tenure of directorship brings
considerable stability to the Board, and the Bank benefits from
directors who have, over time, gained valuable insight into the
Group, its market and the industry.
The independent directors have declared their independence,
and the NC and the Board have determined, at the annual
assessment carried out, that the independent directors have

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

I. Introduction

The Board recognizes that practice of good governance is an important process and has established the Board Audit Committee
(BAC) and Board Risk Management Committee (BRMC) to ensure maintenance of a sound system of internal controls and
good risk management practices. The processes for risks and controls assessment and improvement are on-going and are
regularly reviewed in accordance with the guidelines on the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines
for Directors of Listed Issuers.
II Board Responsibilities

The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility for the risk management and internal control environment and its
effectiveness in safeguarding shareholders interests and the Groups assets. The risk management and internal control
framework is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure in the achievement of goals and objectives of the
Group, and therefore only provide reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance, against material misstatement or loss.
The system of risk management and internal control instituted throughout the Group is updated from time to time to align
with the dynamic changes in the business environment as well as any process improvement initiatives undertaken. The
Board confirms that its Management team responsibly implements the Board policies, procedures and guidelines on risk
management and internal control.
III Risk Management and Internal Control Framework

The organizational structure of the Group clearly defines the lines of accountability and responsibility. Risk assessment
and evaluation is an integral part of the Groups strategic planning cycle and are responsive to business environment and
opportunities. Management committees are appropriately set up to ensure proper utilization and investment of the Groups
assets for effective risk return rewards or to limit losses. The Group Integrated Risk Management & Compliance (GIRMC)
Division undertakes the implementation of an enterprise-wide and integrated risk framework in the business and support
units to inculcate continuous risk and regulatory compliance awareness, understanding of procedures and controls and thus,
improve the overall control environment.
Operationally, the Group operates multiple lines of defenses to effect a robust control framework. At the first level, the
operating business and support units are responsible for the day-to-day management of risks inherent in the various
business activities. Regulatory and operational compliance units are set up in the various lines of business and support
departments. They oversee the day-to-day compliance to all regulatory requirements, business and process controls. GIRMC,
at the second level, is responsible for setting the risk management framework and developing tools and methodologies
for the identification, measurement, monitoring, control and pricing of risks. In addition, overall oversight is provided by
the Regulatory Compliance Department, which is a unit of GIRMC. Thirdly, the Internal Audit function complements GIRMC
by its activity of monitoring and evaluating significant exposures to risk and contributing to the improvement of the risk
management and control systems. It also provides an independent perspective and assessment on the adequacy and
effectiveness of the risk management framework.
The above is depicted in the following diagram:

III Risk Management and Internal Control Framework (Continued)
(a) Risk Management

Managing risks is an integral part of the Groups overall business strategy. It involves a process for identifying, assessing
and managing risks and uncertainties that could inhibit the Groups ability to achieve its strategy and strategic objectives.
The Board sets the risk appetite and tolerance level and allocates the Groups capital that is consistent with the Groups
overall business objectives and desired risk profile. Recognizing the need to be proactive in the management of risks,
the Group has implemented an Integrated Risk Management (IRM) framework where the Groups risks are managed
at various levels.

(b) Basel II and III

The Group places great importance to Basel II and III and views Basel II and III as a bank-wide initiative that will ensure
that the Group continues to meet international best practices for the Groups credit, market, operational and liquidity risk
management practices. By adopting Basel II and III, the Group is able and will continue to enhance and embed sound
risk management practices within the Group and be equipped with the right risk management discipline, practices,
processes and systems.
For Basel II Pillar 1, the Group is currently in compliance with the regulatory standards and is progressively employing
advance risk measurement in the respective businesses. For Basel II Pillar 2, the Group has established an Internal
Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) framework that forms an integrated approach to manage the Groups
risk, capital and business strategy. For Basel II Pillar 3, which is related to market discipline and disclosure requirements,
the Group has provided the disclosures under a separate Pillar 3 section in this Annual Report.
For Basel III, the Group has put in place plans to continuously strengthen its capital and liquidity positions well ahead of
the Basel Committees time schedule and in advanced anticipation of any local jurisdiction guidelines in all the countries
that the Bank operates in.

Review of the Statement by External Auditors
As required by Paragraph 15.23 of the Bursa Malaysia

Securities Berhad Main Market Listing Requirements,
the external auditors have reviewed this Statement on
Risk Management and Internal Control. Their limited
assurance review was performed in accordance with
Recommended Practice Guide (RPG) 5 (Revised)
issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. RPG 5
(Revised) does not require the external auditors to form
an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the
risk management and internal control systems of the
Group.
The Banks Group Internal Audit Division (GIAD)

performs the internal auditing function for the
various entities in the financial services group.
The GIAD regularly reviews the critical operations
(as defined in BNM Guideline on Internal Audit
Function) and critical controls in the Information
Technology environment (as outlined in BNM GPIS)
of the Group to ensure that the internal controls are
in place and working effectively.
The results of the audits conducted by GIA are
reported to the BAC. Follow-up action and the review
of the status of action taken as per the auditors
recommendations are carried out by Management
via the Management Audit Committee (chaired by
the Chief Risk Officer) whose members comprise
senior management. The minutes of meetings of
the Management Audit Committee is tabled to the
BAC for notation.
Implementation of audit recommendations is

followed up on a monthly basis and reported to
the BAC monthly. Highlights of the BAC meetings
are submitted to the Board for review and further
deliberation.
In addition, internal controls are also effected

through the following processes:
The Board receives and reviews regular
reports from the Management on the key
operating statistics, business dynamics, legal
matters and regulatory issues that would have
implications on internal control measures.
The BAC regularly reviews and holds
discussions with Management on the actions
taken on internal control issues identified in
reports prepared by the GIAD, external auditors
and regulatory authorities.

Policies on delegation and authority limits are

strictly implemented to ensure a culture that
respects integrity and honesty, and thereby
reinforce internal controls.
Policies and procedures are set out in

operation manuals and disseminated in the
intranet for easy reference and in support of
a learning environment, so as to reinforce an
environment of internal controls discipline.

Financial Section
DIRECTORS REPORT
for the financial year ended 30 June 2015
The Directors have pleasure in presenting their report together with the audited financial statements of the Group and of the Bank
for the financial year ended 30 June 2015.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Bank is principally engaged in all aspects of commercial banking business and in the provision of related services. The principal
activity of the significant subsidiary consists of Islamic Banking services. Other subsidiary companies are primarily engaged in real
property investment, investment holding and nominee services. The details of the subsidiary companies are disclosed in Note 11 to
the financial statements.
BUSINESS STRATEGY FOR THE CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR

Notwithstanding the current challenges in 2015, the Malaysian economy is expected to gradually improve supported by moderate
growth in domestic demand. Despite the prevailing headwinds, the Group remains focused on accelerating business performance to
achieve financial sustainability through a full Universal Banking Model in the domestic market whilst deepening our niche market
offering in regional businesses.
Earning customer advocacy remains an important agenda as we continue to embed service excellence by enhancing customer
experience. The Group continues to focus on digitisation efforts, improving analytics for deeper customer engagement and aiming to
reinforce the connections between branches and their respective communities.
In addition, the Group has made good progress in rolling out digital initiatives particularly in the e-payment and mobile banking
capabilities for both our domestic and regional markets, creating new business value for the Group.
OUTLOOK AND BUSINESS PLAN FOR NEW FINANCIAL YEAR

Moving in to 2016, the global economy is expected to remain on a steady growth path as uncertainties surrounding global monetary
policy unwinds and global commodity prices recover.
In tandem with this, growth prospect of the Malaysian economy is also expected to improve moderately in 2016, as consumer
demand normalises following the governments efforts of fiscal reform via subsidy rationalisation and GST implementation. Rebound
in domestic demand aside, improving external environment is expected to lend further support to the Malaysian economy, which is
expected to see sustained growth in 2016, from the estimated 4.5%-5.5% in 2015.
Against this backdrop, the Malaysian banking sector will continue to see resilient loan growth underpinned by demand from both
the household and business sectors. The banking sector shall remain well-capitalised with ample liquidity and stable asset quality.
Meanwhile, intense competition amidst an increasingly regulated business environment would continue to exert pressure on banks
margins.
In spite of the increasingly competitive landscape, the Groups strategy moving into the financial year remains unchanged. It is
imperative that the Group continues focusing on building a high performance business and strengthening the foundations for
sustainable profitability through various initiatives that were put in place over the last year. We continue to place strong emphasis on
scaling efficiency and productivity through strategic cost and portfolio management, embedding service excellence through multichannel customer management to optimize customer experience whilst at the same time continues enhancing digitisation efforts to
offer Best-in-Class digital platform and e-payment capabilities.
With these strategic focuses in place, the Group is committed to provide added value service to our customers, particularly in our
regional wealth management and digital banking propositions to individual and e-payment as well as treasury product offerings to
our Corporate & Small and Medium Enterprise customers.
For our regional business growth, we will strengthen our core businesses by focusing on appropriate customer segments and
scalable business propositions, which would create substantive business value, supported by our strong digital offerings. Mergers and
acquisitions are opportunistic in nature and we would continue to explore them as opportunities arise.

(i) which would render the amount written off for bad debts and financing or the amount of the allowance for doubtful
debts and financing in the financial statements of the Group and the Bank, inadequate to any substantial extent;

and the Bank misleading or inappropriate.
(b) In the opinion of the Directors:
(i) the results of the operations of the Group and the Bank for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 are not likely to be

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items that are considered material in relation to the
financial statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Group and of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards (MFRS), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in
Malaysia.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial
investments available-for-sale and financial assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative
financial instruments).
The financial statements incorporate the activities relating to Islamic Banking which have been undertaken by the Group in
compliance with Shariah principles. Islamic Banking business refers generally to the acceptance of deposits and granting of
financing under the Shariah principles.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported financial year. It also
requires Directors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Group and the Banks accounting policies. Although
these estimates and judgment are based on the Directors best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may
differ.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
financial statements are disclosed in Note 53.
A Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective and applicable to the Group
and the Bank

The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective and applicable to
the Group and the Bank for the financial year beginning on 1 July 2014 are as follows:
*
*
*
*
84
*
*
*
Amendments to MFRS 10, MFRS 12 and MFRS 127 Investment entities

material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Bank.
Financial Section
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

B
Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the
Group and the Bank but not yet effective
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning
after 1 July 2014. The Group and the Bank will apply these standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations
from:
(i)
Financial year beginning on/after 1 July 2016

*
Amendment to MFRS 11 Joint arrangements (effective from 1 January 2016) requires an investor to apply the
principles of MFRS 3 Business combinations when it acquires an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a
business. The amendments are applicable to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and
the acquisition of additional interest in the same joint operation. However, a previously held interest is not remeasured when the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation results in retaining joint
control.
Amendments to MFRS 10 and MFRS 128 regarding sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its
associate or joint venture (effective from 1 January 2016) resolve a current inconsistency between MFRS 10 and
MFRS 128. The accounting treatment depends on whether the non-monetary assets sold or contributed to an
associate or joint venture constitute a business. Full gain or loss shall be recognised by the investor where the
non-monetary assets constitute a business. If the assets do not meet the definition of a business, the gain or loss
is recognised by the investor to the extent of the other investors interests. The amendments will only apply when
an investor sells or contributes assets to its associate or joint venture. They are not intended to address accounting
for the sale or contribution of assets by an investor in a joint operation.
Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, plant and equipment and MFRS 138 Intangible assets (effective from 1 January
2016) clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation and amortisation of an item of
property, plant and equipment and intangible are not appropriate. This is because revenue generated by an activity
that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits
embodied in the asset.
The amendments to MFRS 138 also clarify that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for
measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption can be
overcome only in the limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue or
where it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset
are highly correlated.
(ii) Financial year beginning on/after 1 July 2017

*
MFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (effective from 1 January 2017) replaces MFRS 118 Revenue and
MFRS 111 Construction contracts and related interpretations. The standard deals with revenue recognition and
establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entitys contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the
use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The core principle in MFRS 15 is that an entity recognises
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

B
Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the
Group and the Bank but not yet effective (continued)
(iii) Financial year beginning on/after 1 July 2018
* MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2018) will replace MFRS 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. The complete version of MFRS 9 was issued in November 2014.

MFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model in MFRS 139 and establishes three primary
measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through
other comprehensive income (OCI). The basis of classification depends on the entitys business model and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are always measured
at fair value through profit or loss with an irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI
(provided the instrument is not held for trading). A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost only if the
entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest.

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the MFRS 139 requirements. These include amortised cost accounting
for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in cases where
the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entitys own credit
risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the statements of income, unless this creates an
accounting mismatch.

MFRS 9 introduces an expected credit loss model on impairment for all financial assets that replaces the incurred
loss impairment model used in MFRS 139. The expected credit loss model is forward-looking and eliminates the
need for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

None of the standards, amendments and interpretations that are effective for the respective financial years is expected to
have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Group and the Bank, except for MFRS 15 and MFRS 9.
The Group and the Bank is in the midst of reviewing the requirements of MFRS 15 and MFRS 9, especially MFRS 9 as it
introduces significant changes in the way the Group and the Bank account for financial instruments. Due to the complexity
of these standards and its proposed changes, the financial effects of its adoption are still being assessed by the Group and
the Bank.
Significant changes in regulatory requirements
On 4 February 2014, BNM issued a letter requiring banking institutions to maintain, in aggregate, collective impairment
allowance and regulatory reserve of no less than 1.20% of total outstanding loans/financing, net of individual impairment
allowance, pursuant to paragraph 15 of the BNMs Policy Document on Classification and Impairment Provisions for Loans/
Financing.
The regulatory reserve is maintained in addition to the collective impairment allowance required under the MFRS 139
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and it will be set aside from the retained profits to a separate reserve
within equity as an additional credit risk absorbent. Banking institutions are required to comply with this requirement by 31
December 2015.
During the financial year, the Group and the Bank have transferred RM388.11 million and RM334.14 million respectively from
its retained profits to regulatory reserves in accordance with BNMs requirements. The early adoption of this requirement
ahead of BNMs requirement by 31 December 2015 did not have any impact to the profit or loss of the Group and the Bank.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A Consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date
on which control is transferred to the Group and are de-consolidated from the date control ceases.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank and all its subsidiaries made up
to the end of the financial year.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration
transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree
on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of
the recognised amounts of acquirees identifiable net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net
assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised
and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the
case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the statements of income.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirers previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, any gains or losses from such remeasurement are recognised in the statements of income.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is
recognised in accordance with MFRS 139 either in the statements of income or as a change to other comprehensive
income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is
accounted for within equity.
The Group applies predecessor accounting to account for business combinations under common control. Under
predecessor accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are not restated to their respective fair values. They are
recognised at the carrying amounts from the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate holding company
of the Group and adjusted to conform with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The difference between
any consideration given and the aggregate carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities (as of the date of the
transaction) of the acquired entity is recognised as an adjustment to equity. No additional goodwill is recognised.
The acquirer only incorporates the acquired entitys results and statements of financial position prospectively from
the date on which the business combination between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the
consolidated financial statements do not reflect the results of the acquired entity for the period before the transaction
occurred. The corresponding amounts for the previous financial year are also not restated.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

A
Consolidation (continued)
(i) Subsidiaries (continued)

Predecessor accounting may lead to a difference between the cost of the transaction and the carrying value of the
net assets. The difference is recorded in retained profits.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to
conform with the Groups accounting policies.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions
that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any
consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in
equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(iii) Disposal of subsidiaries

When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the
date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial
carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture
or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that
entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that
amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
(iv) Joint arrangements

88
A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which there is contractually agreed sharing of control by the Group with one
or more parties, where decisions about the relevant activities relating to the joint arrangement require unanimous
consent of the parties sharing control. The classification of a joint arrangement as a joint operation or a joint venture
depends upon the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement
whereby the joint venturers have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement
whereby the joint operators have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
The Groups interest in a joint venture is accounted for in the financial statements by the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognise the Groups share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other
comprehensive income. When the Groups share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint
ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Groups net investment in the
joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the joint ventures.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Groups
interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary
to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Financial Section

A
(v)
Associated companies
Associated companies are those corporations, partnerships or other entities in which the Group exercises significant
influence, but which it does not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of voting
rights. Significant influence is power to participate in financial and operating policy decisions of associated companies
but not power to exercise control over those policies.
Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using equity method
of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is
increased or decreased to recognise the investors share of profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.
The Groups investment in associated companies includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
The Groups share of associated companies post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in statements of income,
and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The
cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. If the Groups
share of losses of an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in the associated company, the Group
discontinues recognising its share of further losses. The interest in an associated company is the carrying amount of
the investment in the associated company under the equity method together with any long-term interests that, in
substance, form part of the Groups net investment in the associated company. After the Groups interest is reduced to
zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognised, only to the extent that the investor has incurred
legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associated company. If the associated company
subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits
equals the share of losses not recognised.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the
Groups interest in the associated companies; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides
evidence on impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments are
made to the financial statements of associated companies to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of
the Group.
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 adjacent to share of
profit/(loss) of an associate in the statements of income.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate
share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where
appropriate.
Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognised in the statements of income.
(vi) Changes in ownership interests

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity
is re-measured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in statements of income. This fair
value is its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with MFRS 139. Any amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly
disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
89

A
(vii) Investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associated companies
In the Banks separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associated companies
are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, joint venture
and associated companies, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of investments are
recognised in the statements of income.
The amounts due from subsidiaries of which the Bank does not expect repayment in foreseeable future are considered
as part of the Banks investment in subsidiaries.
Recognition of interest/profit income and interest/profit expense
Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments are recognised within interest income and
interest expense in the statements of income using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and
of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments or,
when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating
the effective interest rate, the Group takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any
fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest
rate, but not future credit losses.
Interest on impaired financial assets is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the
purpose of measuring the impairment loss. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if,
and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future
cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
When a loan receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated
future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount
as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivable are recognised using the original effective interest
rate.
Income from Islamic banking business is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the principles of Shariah.
Recognition of fees and other income
90
Loan arrangement fees and commissions are recognised as income when all conditions precedent are fulfilled. Guarantee
fees which are material are recognised as income based on time apportionment. Services charges and other fee income
are recognised as income when the services are rendered.
Commitment fees for loans, advances and financing that are likely to be drawn down and deferred (together with direct
costs) and income which forms an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument is regarded as an
adjustment to the effective interest rate of the financial instrument.
Dividends from financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss, financial investments available-for-sale and
subsidiary companies are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Financial Section

C
Recognition of fees and other income (continued)
Net profit from financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and financial investment available-for-sale are
recognised upon disposal of the securities, as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the securities.
Financial assets
(i) Classification

The Group and the Bank classify their financial assets into the following categories: at fair value through profit or
loss, loans and receivables, financial investments held-to-maturity and financial investments available-for-sale. The
classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the
classifications of its securities up-front at the point when transactions are entered into.
(a)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial assets held-for-trading and other financial
assets designated by the Group and the Bank as fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing it in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments
that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profittaking. Derivatives are also categorised as held-for-trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging
instruments.
(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market.
(c)
Financial investments held-to-maturity are non-derivative instruments with fixed or determinable as the
positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group or the Bank sell other than an insignificant
amount of financial investments held-to-maturity, the entire category will be tainted and reclassified as
financial investments available-for-sale.
(d) Financial investments available-for-sale

Financial investments available-for-sale are those intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which
may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices or
that are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and financial
investments held-to-maturity.
(ii) Recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair
value through profit or loss. Transaction costs for securities carried at fair value through profit or loss are taken directly
to the statements of income.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
91

D
Financial assets (continued)

(iii) Subsequent measurement

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial investments available-for-sale are subsequently
carried at fair value, except for investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an
active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured in which case the investments are stated at cost.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
included in the statements of income in the financial period which they arise. Gains and losses arising from changes
in fair value of financial investments available-for-sale are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, until
the securities are derecognised or impaired at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in
other comprehensive income are recognised in statements of income. Foreign exchange gains or losses of financial
investments available-for-sale are recognised in the statements of income in the financial period it arises.
Financial investments held-to-maturity are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Gains or losses arising from the de-recognition or impairment of the securities are recognised in the
statements of income.
Interest from financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss, financial investments available-for-sale and
financial investments held-to-maturity is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognised in the
statements of income. Dividends from available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the statements of
income when the entitys right to receive payment is established.
Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value which is the cash consideration to originate or purchase
the loan including the transaction costs, and measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method. Interest on loans is included in the statements of income. In the case of impairment, the impairment
loss is reported as a deduction from the carrying value of the loan and recognised in the statements of income.
(iv) Reclassification of financial assets
92
The Group and the Bank may choose to reclassify a non-derivative financial assets held-for-trading out of the heldfor-trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purposes of selling in the near term. Financial assets
other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare
circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the
Group and the Bank may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables
out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group and the Bank have the intention and ability to
hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.
Reclassifications are made at the fair value at the date of the reclassification. The fair values of the securities becomes
the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before the
reclassification date are subsequently made. The effective interest rates for the securities reclassified to held-tomaturity category are determined at the reclassification date. Further changes in estimates of future cash flows are
recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest rates.
Financial Section

E
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, except for trading liabilities and liabilities designated at fair value,
which are held at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction
costs for all financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in statements of income.
(i)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
This category comprises two sub-categories: financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading and financial liabilities
designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
A financial liability is classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling
or repurchasing it in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed
together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also
categorised as held-for-trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments.
The Group and the Bank have also designated certain structured deposits at fair value through profit or loss as
permitted under MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as it significantly reduces
accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring the corresponding assets and liabilities of different
basis.
(ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and are measured
at amortised cost.
Property and equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the
assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements
of income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite life. Other property and equipment are depreciated on a straight
line basis to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, summarised as
follows:
Leasehold land
Buildings on freehold land
Buildings on leasehold land
Office furniture, fittings, equipment and
renovations and computer equipment
Motor vehicles
Over the remaining period of the lease or 100 years (1%) whichever is shorter
2%
Over the remaining period of the lease or 50 years (2%) whichever is shorter
10% - 33%
25%
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
93

F
Property and equipment and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Property and equipment are reviewed for indication of impairment at each statements of financial position date and
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the
carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down to its recoverable
amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in noninterest income.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2015, management initiated a group-wide review of useful lives, taking into
account historical experience and expected future development in relation to technology changes and market conditions.
As a result, useful lives of a number of classes of tangible assets such as renovations, office equipment, furniture and
fittings, air conditioners, safe deposits boxes and computer equipment were adjusted from 5 years to 8 years.
Intangible assets
(i)

Computer software
During the financial year ended 30 June 2015, management initiated a group-wide review of useful lives, taking
into account historical experience and expected future development in relation to technology changes and market
conditions. As a result, the useful life of computer software was adjusted from 5 years to 8 years.
Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the
specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of 3 years to 8 years.
(ii) Goodwill
94
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the aggregate of the acquisition date
fair value of consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisitiondate fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition date fair value of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of consideration transferred, the amount of noncontrolling interest and the fair value of previously held interest in the acquiree are less than the fair value of the net
identifiable assets of the acquiree, the resulting gain is recognised in the profit or loss.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made
to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of
the business combination in which the goodwill arose. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated
represents the lowest level within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a
potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of
value in use and the fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not
subsequently reversed.
Financial Section

G
Intangible assets (continued)

(iii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include core deposits and customer relationships. These intangible assets were acquired in a
business combination and are valued using income approach methodologies. These intangible assets are stated at
cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets have finite useful lives as follows:
Core deposit: 7 years

Customer relationships: 10 years
H Leases
(i)
Finance lease
Assets purchased under lease which in substance transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to the
Group or the Bank are capitalised under property and equipment. The assets and the corresponding lease obligations
are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased
assets at the beginning of the lease term. Such leased assets are subject to depreciation on the same basis as other
property and equipment.
Leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating lease and the related rentals are charged to
(ii) Operating lease

Leases of assets under which all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statements of income 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.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that
are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount
of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less cost to sell
and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which separately
identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
The impairment loss is charged to the statements of income unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is
charged to the revaluation surplus. Any subsequent increase in recoverable amount of non-financial assets (other than
goodwill) is recognised in the statements of income unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset in which
case it is taken to revaluation surplus.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
95
96
Current and deferred income taxes
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current income tax expense is determined according to the tax laws of each jurisdiction in which the Group operates and
generates taxable income and includes all taxes based upon the taxable profits.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be
paid to the tax authorities. This liability is measured using the single best estimate of the most likely outcome.
Deferred income tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
the temporary differences of unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled by the Group and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax related to fair value re-measurement of financial instruments available-for-sale, which are charged or
credited directly to equity, is also credited or charged directly to equity and is subsequently recognised in the statements
of income together with the deferred gain or loss.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax
liability is settled.
Deferred and income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same
taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances
on a net basis.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including
recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and option pricing models,
as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.
Changes in the fair value of any derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the
The best evidence of fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (i.e. the fair value of the
consideration given or received) unless the fair value of the instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable
current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e. without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation
technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. When such evidence exists, the Group and the Bank
recognise profits immediately.
Financial Section

K
Derivative financial instruments and hedging (continued)
The method of recognising the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a
hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group and the Bank designated certain derivatives
as either: (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedge) or (2) hedges
of highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability, or a forecasted transaction (cash flow
hedge) or (3) hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge). Hedge accounting is used for
derivatives designated in this way provided certain criteria are met.
At the inception of the transaction, the Group and the Bank document the relationship between hedging instruments and
hedged items, as well as their risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The
Group and the Bank also document their assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the
derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of
hedged items.
(i)
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the
statements of income, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities that are
attributable to the hedged risk.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged
item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to statements of income over the period to
maturity. The adjustments to the carrying amount of a hedged equity security remains in retained profits until the
disposal of the equity security.
(ii) Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges
are recognised in equity. The gain and loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the
statements of income. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the statements of income in the financial
periods in which the hedged item will affect statements of income.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast
transaction is ultimately recognised in the statements of income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected
to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statements of
income.
(iii) Net investment hedge

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on
the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating
to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statements of income.
Gains and losses accumulated in the equity are included in the statements of income when the foreign operation is
partially disposed or sold.
(iv) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative
instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the statements of income.

Currency translations
(i)
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Groups entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Banks functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognised in the statements of income, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow
hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as financial instruments
available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the
security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in the
amortised cost are recognised in the statements of income, and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised
in other comprehensive income.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported as part of the fair value gain
or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets are recognised in income as part of the financial
instruments fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified
as available-for-sale are included in the fair value reserve in other comprehensive income.
(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:

98
assets and liabilities for each statements of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the
date of the statements of financial position;
income and expenses for each statements of income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this
average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction
dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and
of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other
comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were
recorded in equity are recognised in the statements of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(iii) Group companies (continued)
On the disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Groups entire interest in a foreign operation, or a
disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint
control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant
influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences relating to that foreign
operation recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity are
reclassified to profit or loss. In the case of a partial disposal that does not result in the Group losing control over a
subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are reattributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (that
is, reductions in the groups ownership interest in associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the
group losing significant influence or joint control) the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange difference is
reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities
of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other
comprehensive income.
Employee benefits
(i)
Short-term employee benefits
The Group and the Bank recognise a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Group and the Bank recognise a provision
where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in
which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Bank.

(ii) Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group and the Bank pay fixed contributions into a fund
and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient
assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior financial periods.

The Group and the Bank contributes to a national defined contribution plan (the Employee Provident Fund) on a
mandatory basis and the amounts contributed to the plan are charged to the statements of income in the financial
period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Bank have no further payment
obligations.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future
payments is available.
(iii) Share-based compensation

The Bank operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan for the employees of the Bank under which the
Bank receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Bank. The fair value
of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the share options is recognised as an expense in the
statements of income over the vesting periods of the grant with a corresponding increase in equity.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
99

M
Employee benefits (continued)

(iii) Share-based compensation (continued)
The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the share
options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are
included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each statements of financial
position date, the Bank revises its estimates of the number of share options that are expected to vest based on the
non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the statements
of income, with a corresponding adjustment to share options reserve in equity.
A trust has been set up for the Executive Share Option Scheme (ESOS) and is administered by an appointed trustee.
The trustee will be entitled from time to time to accept financial assistance from the Bank upon such terms and
conditions as the Bank and the trustee may agree to purchase the Banks shares from the open market for the
purposes of this trust.
In accordance with MFRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the shares purchased for the benefit of the ESOS
holders are recorded as Treasury Shares in equity on the statements of financial position. The cost of operating
the ESOS scheme would be charged to the statements of income when incurred in accordance with accounting
standards.
100
When the options are exercised, the Bank may issue new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly
attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital and share premium.

When options are not exercised and lapsed, the share options reserve is transferred to retained earnings.

Impairment of financial assets
(i)
Assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred
loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset
or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The criteria the Group and the Bank use to determine that there is objective evidence of impairment loss include
indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, the probability that
they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, default of delinquency in interest or principal payments
and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as
changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
The Group and the Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial
assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk
characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.
Financial Section

N
Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(i)

Assets carried at amortised cost (continued)
Financial assets that have not been individually assessed are grouped together for portfolio impairment assessment.
These financial assets are grouped according to their credit risk characteristics for the purposes of calculating an
estimated collective loss. These characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such
assets by being indicative of the debtors ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
assets being assessed. Future cash flows on a group of financial assets that are collectively assessed for impairment
are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in
the group.
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group and
the Bank to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for loan impairment. Such loans are
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.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment losses decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to
an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtors credit rating), the
previously recognised impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is
recognised in the statements of income.
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount
of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the
statements of income. If a loan or financial investments held-to-maturity have a variable interest rate, the discount
rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
(ii) Assets classified as available-for-sale

The Group and the Bank assess at each date of the statements of financial position whether there is objective
evidence that financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. The criteria the Group and the Bank use to
determine that there is objective evidence of impairment loss include indications that the issuer is experiencing
significant financial difficulty, the probability that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation,
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments and where observable data indicates that there is a
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in the market or economic conditions that
correlate with defaults on the assets. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant
or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is objective evidence of impairment resulting in
the recognition of an impairment loss.
If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the
acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in
equity is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statements of income. Impairment losses
recognised in the statements of income on equity instruments are not reversed through the statements of income. If,
in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase
can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in statements of income,
the impairment loss is reversed through the statements of income. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss on
equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through profit or loss.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
101

O
Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from these assets have ceased to
exist or the assets have been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are also
transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they have been redeemed or otherwise extinguished.
Collateral furnished by the Bank under standard repurchase agreements transactions is not derecognised because the
Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards on the basis of the predetermined repurchase price, and the criteria for
derecognition are therefore not met.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statements of financial position where there
is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and
must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt
instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of customers to
secure loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities.
Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was
given. The fair value of a financial guarantee at the time of signature is zero because all guarantees are agreed on arms
length terms and the value of the premium agreed corresponds to the value of the guarantee obligation. No receivable
for the future premiums is recognised. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Banks liabilities under such guarantees are
measured at the higher of the initial amount, less amortisation of fees and the amount determined in accordance with
MFRS 137 Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and the best estimate of the amount required to settle
the guarantee. These estimates are determined based on experience of similar transactions and history of past losses,
supplemented by the judgement of management. The fee income earned is recognised on a straight-line basis over the
life of the guarantee. Any increase in the liability relating to guarantees is reported in the statements of income.
Foreclosed properties
Foreclosed properties are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
Bills and acceptances payable represent the Groups and the Banks own bills and acceptances rediscounted and outstanding
in the market.
T Provisions

Provisions are recognised by the Group and the Bank when all of the following conditions have been met:
(i) the Group and the Bank have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;
(ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources to settle the obligation will be required; and
(iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made.
102
Financial Section

T
Provisions (continued)
Where the Group and the Bank expect a provision to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognised as
a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating
losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined
by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with
respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the obligation. The
increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances and short-term funds.
Treasury shares
The Bank has repurchased its shares and designated as treasury shares in accordance with MFRS 132 Financial Instruments:
Presentation. Treasury shares consist of those own shares purchased pursuant to Section 67A of the Companies Act,
1965 and those purchased pursuant to ESOS scheme. Details of treasury shares are as detailed in Note 28 of the financial
statements.
W Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at
amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in
the statements of income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the person or group that allocates resources and assesses the
performance of the operating segments of an entity. The Group has determined the Board of Directors as the collective
body of chief operating decision makers.
Segment revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are those amount resulting from the operating activities of a segment
that are directly attributable to the segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to the
segment. Segment revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are determined before intra-group balances and intra-group
transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process, except to the extent that such intra-group balances and
transactions are between group enterprises within a single segment.
Non-current assets/disposal groups held-for-sale
Non-current assets/disposal groups are classified as assets held-for-sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Z
Share capital
(i) Classification

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the substance
of the particular instrument. Distributions to holders of a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument are
charged directly to equity.
(ii) Share issue costs

Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(iii) Dividends

Distributions to shareholders are recognised directly in equity and the corresponding liability is recognised in the
period in which the dividends are approved.
(iv) Purchase of own shares

104
Where the Bank or its subsidiaries purchases the Banks equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration
paid, including any directly attributable incremental external costs, net of tax, is included in equity attributable to the
Banks equity holders as treasury shares until they are cancelled, reissued or disposed off. Where such shares are
subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction
costs and the related tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Banks equity holders.
AA
Contingent assets and contingent liabilities
The Group does not recognise contingent assets and liabilities other than those arising from business combinations, but
discloses its existence in the financial statements. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events
whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in the extremely rare case where there is a liability
that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. However, contingent liabilities do not include financial
guarantee contracts. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group. The Group
does not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not
virtually certain.
AB
Sale and repurchase agreements
Securities purchased under resale agreements are securities which the Group and the Bank had purchased with a
commitment to re-sell at future dates. The commitment to re-sell the securities is reflected as an asset on the statements
of financial position.
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 on the statements of financial position.
The difference between the sale and repurchase price as well as purchase and resale price is treated as interest and
accrued over the life of the resale/repurchase agreement using the effective yield method.

Customer relationships acquired in a business combination have value when they represent an identifiable and predictable source
of future cash flows to the combined business.
The valuation of business banking customer relationships was determined using an income approach, specifically the multiperiod excess earnings method (MEEM). This was done by discounting forecasted incremental customer revenues attributable
solely to EON Banking Groups existing business banking customer.
Core deposits comprising savings and current accounts are low cost source of funds. The valuation of core deposits was derived
using an income approach, specifically the cost savings method under the incremental cash flow method. This was done by
discounting forecast net interest savings from core deposits.

15 INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

The discount rate used in discounting incremental cash flows was based on the risk associated with the identified intangible
assets. The remaining amortisation period of core deposits and customer relationships are 3 to 6 years respectively.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2015, the management initiated a group-wide review of useful lives, taking into account
historical experience and expected future development in relation to technology changes and market conditions. In accordance
with MFRS 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, this change in useful lives of intangible assets
is being accounted for prospectively and has resulted in a reduction in amortisation charges for the financial year for the Group
and the Bank of RM30.20 million and RM29.40 million respectively from what it would otherwise have been. It is impracticable
to estimate future savings derived from changes in depreciation rates.

The Group and the Bank have issued structured deposits (Callable Range Accrual Notes) and designated them at fair value
through profit or loss. This designation is permitted under MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
as it significantly reduces accounting mismatch. These instruments are managed by the Group on the basis of its fair value
and includes terms that have substantive derivative characteristic. The structured deposits designated at fair value amounted
to RM1,542 million (2014: RM1,372 million) for the Group and RM1,214 million (2014: RM931 million) for the Bank respectively.

(a) Cash flow hedge

The Group and the Banks cash flow hedges principally consist of interest rate swaps that are used to protect against
exposures to variability in future interest cash flows on interest incurring liabilities. The amount and timing of the interest
cash flows, are projected on the basis of their contractual terms and other relevant factors, including estimates of renewal
of interest incurring liabilities. The aggregate projected interest cash flows over time form the basis for identifying gains and
losses on the effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to forecast transactions. Gains and losses are
initially recognised directly in equity, in the cash flow hedge reserve, and are transferred to profit or loss when the forecast
cash flows affect the profit or loss.
The hedging relationship was fully effective for the total hedging period and as of the reporting date. As such, the unrealised
gain of RM162,000 from the hedging relationship as disclosed in Note 27 were recognised through other comprehensive
income.

38 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share

number of ordinary shares purchased by the Bank and held as treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share
The Bank has only one category of dilutive potential ordinary share, share options. For the share options, a calculation is done
to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share
price of the Banks shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The
number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise
of the share options.

45 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies

Overview and organisation
Integrated Risk Management (IRM)
The Group has implemented an integrated risk management framework with the objective to ensure the overall financial
soundness and stability of the Groups business operations. The Groups integrated risk management framework outlines
the overall governance structure, aspiration, values and risk management strategies that balances between risk profiles and
returns objectives. Appropriate methodologies and measurements have been developed to manage uncertainties such that
deviations from intended strategic objectives are closely monitored and kept within tolerable levels.
From a governance perspective, the Board has the overall responsibility to define the Groups risk appetite and ensure that
a robust risk management and compliance culture prevails. The Board is assisted by the Board Risk Management Committee
(BRMC) in approving the Groups integrated risk management framework as well as the attendant capital management
framework, risk appetite statement, risk management strategies and risk policies.
Dedicated management level committees are established by the Group to oversee the development and the assessment of
effectiveness of risk management policies, to review risk exposures and portfolio composition as well as to ensure appropriate
infrastructures, resources and systems are put in place for effective risk management activities.
The BRMC is assisted by the Group Integrated Risk Management and Compliance (GIRMC) function, which has been
established to provide independent oversight on the adequacy, effectiveness and integrity of risk management practices at
all levels within the Bank. The core functions of the Banks risk management are to identify all key risks for the Bank, measure
these risks, manage the risk positions and determine the optimum capital allocations. The Bank regularly reviews its risk
management framework to reflect changes in markets, products, regulatory and emerging best market practice.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss due to a borrower or counterparty being unable or unwilling to deliver on its payment
obligations to the Bank, which leads to a loss of revenue and the principal sum. It arises principally from lending, trade
finance and treasury activities. The Bank has established a credit risk management framework to ensure that exposure to
credit risk is kept within the Banks financial capacity to withstand potential future losses. Lending activities are guided by
the internal credit policies and guidelines that are reviewed and concurred by the Management Credit Committee (MCC),
endorsed by the BRMC and the Board Credit Supervisory Committee (BCSC), and approved by the Board. These policies are
subject to review and enhancements, at least on an annual basis.
Credit portfolio strategies and significant exposures are reviewed by both the BRMC and the Board. These portfolio strategies
are designed to achieve a desired portfolio risk tolerance level and sector distribution.
The Groups credit approving process encompasses pre-approval evaluation, approval and post-approval evaluation. While
the business units are responsible for credit origination, the credit approving function rests mainly with the Credit Evaluation
Departments, the MCC and the BCSC. The Board delegates approving and discretionary authority to the MCC and the various
personnel of the Bank based on job function and designation.
For any new products, credit risk assessment also forms part of the new product sign-off processes to ensure that the new
product complies with the appropriate policies and guidelines, prior to the introduction of the product.

45 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
162
Credit Risk Management (continued)
The Banks exposure to credit risk is mainly from its retail, small and medium enterprise (SME), commercial and corporate
customers. The credit assessment for retail customers is managed on a portfolio basis and the risk scoring models and
lending templates are designed to assess the credit worthiness and the likelihood of the obligors to repay their debts. The
SME, commercial and corporate customers are individually assessed and assigned with a credit rating, which is based on the
assessment of relevant factors such as the customers financial position, industry outlook, types of facilities and collaterals
offered.
In addition, the Bank also conducts periodic stress testing of its credit portfolios to ascertain credit risk impact to capital
under the relevant stress scenarios.
Internal Audit conducts independent post approval reviews on sampling basis to ensure that quality of credit appraisals
and approval standards are in accordance with the credit standards and the lending policies and directives established and
approved by the Banks management.
Market Risk Management
Market risk is the risk of financial loss arising from exposure to adverse changes in values of financial instruments caused by
changes in market prices or rates, which include changes to interest rates.
The Bank adopts a systematic approach in managing such risks by types of instruments and nature of exposure. Market risk
is primarily controlled via a series of cut-loss limits and potential loss limits, i.e. Value at Risk (VaR), set in accordance
with the size of positions and risk tolerance appetites.
Portfolios held under the Banks trading books are tracked using daily mark-to-market positions, which are compared against
preset limits. The daily tracking of positions is supplemented by sensitivity analysis and stress tests, using VaR and other
measurements.
Foreign exchange risks arising from adverse exchange rate movements, is managed by the setting of preset limits, matching
of open positions against these preset limits and imposition of cut-loss mechanisms.
Interest rate risk exposure is also identified, measured and controlled through limits and procedures, which includes regularly
reviewing the interest rate outlook and developing strategies to protect total net interest income from changes in market
interest rates. This applies to both interest rate risk exposure in the trading book and in the banking book. In managing the
interest rate risk exposure in the banking book, the Bank adopts methodologies that measure exposure in both earnings at
risk perspective and economic value or capital at risk perspective.
In addition, the Bank also conducts periodic stress testing of its respective portfolios to ascertain market risk under abnormal
market conditions.
Financial Section

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the inability to fund increases in assets and/or meet obligations as they
fall due. Financial obligations arise from the withdrawal of deposits, funding of loans committed and repayment of borrowed
funds. It is the Banks policy to ensure there is adequate liquidity across all business units to sustain ongoing operations, as
well as sufficient liquidity to fund asset growth and strategic opportunities.
Besides adhering to the Regulatory Liquidity Requirement, the Bank has put in place a robust and comprehensive liquidity
risk management framework consisting of risk appetite, policies, triggers, limits and controls which are reviewed and
concurred by the ALCO, endorsed by the BRMC and approved by the Board. The key elements of the framework cover
proactive monitoring and management of cashflow, maintenance of high quality long-term and short-term marketable debt
securities, diversification of funding base as well as maintains a liquidity compliance buffer to meet any unexpected cash
outflows.
The Bank has in place liquidity contingency funding plans and stress test programs to minimise the liquidity risk that may
arise due to unforeseen adverse changes in the marketplace. Contingency funding plans set out the crisis escalation process
and the various strategies to be employed to preserve liquidity including an orderly communication channel during liquidity
crisis scenarios. Liquidity stress tests are conducted regularly to ensure there is adequate liquidity contingency fund to meet
the shortfalls during liquidity crisis scenarios.
In addition, the Bank also monitors the Net Stable Funding Ratio which is one of the key Basel III liquidity ratios in line with
the observation period reporting to BNM.
(b) Market risk

Market risk sensitivity assessment is based on the changes in key variables, such as interest rates and foreign currency rates,
while all other variables remain unchanged. The sensitivity factors used are assumptions based on parallel shifts in the key
variables to project the impact on the assets and liabilities position of the Group and the Bank.
The scenarios used are simplified whereby it is assumed that all key variables for all maturities move at the same time
and by the same magnitude and do not incorporate actions that would be otherwise taken by the business units and risk
management to mitigate the effect of this movement in key variables. In reality, the Group and the Bank proactively seek
to ensure that the interest rate risk profile is managed to minimise losses and optimise net revenues.

Interest/Profit rate risk
The tables below summarise the Groups and the Banks exposure to interest/profit rate risks. Included in the tables are the Groups
and the Banks financial assets and financial liabilities at their carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of contractual repricing
or maturity dates. The net interest sensitivity gap for items not recognised in the statements of financial position represents the
net notional amounts of all interest/profit rate sensitive derivative financial instruments. As interest rates and yield curves change
over time, the Group and the Bank may be exposed to loss in earnings due to the effects of interest rates on the structure of the
statement of financial position. Sensitivity to interest/profit rates arises from mismatches in the repricing dates, cash flows and
other characteristics of the financial assets and their corresponding financial liabilities funding.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the current and prospective risk arising from the inability of the Group and the Bank to meet its
contractual or regulatory obligations when they become due without incurring substantial losses. The liquidity risk is identified
based on concentration, volatility of source of fund and funding maturity structure and it is measured primarily using Bank Negara
Malaysias New Liquidity Framework and depositors concentration ratios. The Group and the Bank seek to project, monitor and
manage its liquidity needs under normal as well as adverse circumstances.
The table below analyses the carrying amount of assets and liabilities (including non-financial instruments) as at 30 June 2015 based
on the remaining contractual maturity:

The following table shows the contractual undiscounted cash flows payable for financial liabilities by remaining contractual
maturities. The balances in the table below will not agree to the balances reported in the statements of financial position as
the table incorporates all contractual cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, relating to both principal and interest payments.
The contractual maturity profile does not necessarily reflect the behavioural cash flows.

46 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. 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 arms length transaction. The
information presented herein represents the estimates of fair values as at the statements of financial position 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.
(a) Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy

The Group and the Bank measure fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the
inputs used in making the measurements:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in

which inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either

directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not based on observable

market data.
Financial instruments are classified as Level 1 if their value is observable in an active market. Such instruments are valued by
reference to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the quoted prices is readily
available, and the price represents actual and regularly occurring market transactions. An active market is one in which
transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an on-going basis. These would
include actively traded listed equities and actively exchange-traded derivatives.
Where fair value is determined using unquoted market prices in less active markets or quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities, such instruments are generally classified as Level 2.
In cases where quoted prices are generally not available, the Group then determines fair value based upon valuation techniques
that use as inputs, market parameters including but not limited to yield curves, volatilities and foreign exchange rates. The
majority of valuation techniques employ only observable market data and so reliability of the fair value measurement is
high.
Financial instruments are classified as Level 3 if their valuation incorporates significant inputs that are not based on observable
market data (unobservable inputs). Such inputs are generally determined based on observable inputs of a similar nature,
historical observations on the level of the input or other analytical techniques.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the
transfer has occurred. The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event
or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy during the financial year (2014: RM Nil).

(c) Fair value methodologies and assumptions
212
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 short-term funds 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.
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 of six months and above, the estimated
fair values are based on discounted cash flows using market rates for the remaining term to maturity.
Securities held at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity
The estimated fair value is generally based on quoted and observable market prices. Where there is no ready market in
certain securities, the Group and the Bank establish the fair value by using valuation techniques.
For deposits from customers with maturities of less than six months, the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of their
fair values. For deposit with maturities of six months and above, 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, bills and acceptances payable
The estimated fair values of deposits and placements of banks and other financial institutions, bills and acceptances payable
with maturities of less than six months approximate the carrying values. For the items with maturities six months and above,
the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market interest rates with similar
remaining period to maturities.
Subordinated obligations, senior bonds, stapled securities and capital securities
The fair value of subordinated obligations, senior bonds, stapled securities and capital securities are based on quoted market
prices where available.
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.
Financial Section

(c) Fair value methodologies and assumptions (continued)

Other financial assets and liabilities
The carrying value less any estimated allowance for financial assets and liabilities included in other assets and liabilities are
assumed to approximate their fair values as these items are not materially sensitive to the shift in market interest rates.
Credit related commitment and contingencies
The net fair value of these items was not calculated as estimated fair values are not readily ascertainable. These financial
instruments generally relate to credit risks and attract fees in line with market prices for similar arrangements. They are
not presently sold nor traded. The fair value may be represented by the present value of fees expected to be received, less
associated costs.
Foreign exchange and interest rate related contracts
The fair values of foreign exchange and interest rate related contracts are the estimated amounts the Group or the Bank
would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the statements of financial position date.

48 CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Groups and the Banks regulatory capital is governed by BNM Capital Adequacy Framework guidelines. With effect from 1
January 2013, the capital adequacy ratios of the Group and the Bank are computed in accordance with BNMs Capital Adequacy
Framework issued on 28 November 2012. The Framework sets out the approach for computing the regulatory capital adequacy
ratios, as well as the levels of the ratios at which banking institutions are required to operate. The Framework is to strengthen
capital adequacy standards, in line with the requirements set forth under Basel III. In line with the transitional arrangements
under the BNMs Capital Adequacy Framework (Capital Components), the minimum capital adequacy requirement for common
equity Tier I (CET I) capital ratio and Tier I capital ratio are 4.50% (2014: 4.00%) and 6.00% (2014: 5.50%) respectively for year
2015. The minimum regulatory capital adequacy requirement remains at 8.00% (2014: 8.00%) for total capital ratio.
The risk-weighted assets (RWA) of the Group and the Bank have adopted the Standardised Approach for Credit Risk and Market
Risk, and the Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk computation.

53 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group and the Bank make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by
definition, rarely equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables
that are anticipated to have material impact to the Groups and the Banks results and financial position are tested for sensitivity
to changes in the underlying parameters. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below:
(a) Allowance for impairment losses on loans, advances and financing

The Group and the Bank review their loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis. It is the policy of the
Group and the Bank to establish, through charges against profit, individual and collective assessment impairment allowances
in respect of estimated and inherent credit losses in their portfolio.
In determining individual assessment impairment allowances for loans/financing above the set threshold, management
considers objective evidence of impairment and exercises judgement in estimating cash flows and collateral value. Whilst,
managements judgement is guided by the relevant BNM guidelines, judgement is made in estimation of the amount and
timing of future cash flows in assessing allowance for impairment of financial assets. Among the factors considered are the
net realisable value of the underlying collateral value, the viability of the customers business model and the capacity to
generate sufficient cash flow to service debt obligations.
(b) Impairment of goodwill

The Group perform an impairment review on an annual basis. The goodwill impairment assessment involves a significant
amount of estimation. This includes identification of independent cash-generating units (CGUs) and the allocation of
goodwill to these units based on which units are expected to benefit from the acquisition.
In estimating the value-in-use, the Group is required to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGUs.
Management also exercise judgement in determining both the growth rate and the discount rate used to discount future
expected cash flows to the CGUs.

Impairment test for goodwill
The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined based on higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use calculations.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants, less costs of disposal. This estimate is mainly determined, on 30 June 2015, on the basis of available market
information such as the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities which have been marked-to-market.
Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGUs or groups of CGUs. This calculation
uses pre-tax cash flow projections based on the budget for the financial year ending 2015, which is approved by the Board of
Directors. There is a further projection of 4 years (2014: 4 years) based on the average historical Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
growth of the country covering a five year period, revised for current economic conditions. Cash flows beyond the 5 year period
are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 4.8% (2014: 5.0%) representing the forecasted GDP growth rate of the country
for all cash generating units. The cash flow projections are derived based on a number of key factors including past performance
and managements expectation of market developments. The discount rates used in determining the recoverable amount of all
the CGUs range from 9.88% to 9.91% (2014: 11.59% to 11.67%). The pre-tax discount rate reflects the specific risks relating to the
CGUs.

Management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions would cause the carrying value of any
CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

BASEL II PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1. INTRODUCTION

This document discloses Hong Leong Bank Berhad (HLB or the Bank) and its banking subsidiaries (the Group) risk profile,
risk management practices in accordance with the disclosure requirement as outline in the Risk-Weighted Capital Adequacy
Framework (RWCAF) (Basel II-Disclosure requirements-Pillar 3) issued by BNM.
The capital adequacy ratios of the Group and the Bank are computed in accordance with BNMs Capital Adequacy Framework
which sets out the approach for computing the regulatory capital adequacy ratios, as well as the levels of the ratios at which
banking institutions are required to operate. The Framework is to strengthen capital adequacy standards, in line with the
requirements set forth under Basel III. In line with the transitional arrangements under the BNMs Capital Adequacy Framework
(Capital Components), the minimum capital adequacy requirement for common equity Tier I (CET I) capital ratio and Tier I capital
ratio are 4.50% (2014: 4.00%) and 6.00% (2014: 5.50%) respectively for year 2015. The minimum regulatory capital adequacy
requirement remains at 8.00% (2014: 8.00%) for total capital ratio.
The following information concerning the Groups risk exposures, risk management practices and capital adequacy is disclosed as
accompanying information to the annual report and does not form part of the audited financial statements.
2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The capital adequacy ratios of the Group consist of capital base and risk-weighted assets derived from consolidated balances of
the Bank and its banking subsidiary, Hong Leong Islamic Bank Berhad (HLISB). Islamic Banking business undertaken by HLISB
refers generally to the acceptance of deposits and granting of financing under the Shariah principles.
The capital adequacy ratios of the Bank and the Group are computed in accordance with BNMs revised RWCAF-Basel II. The Bank
and the Group have adopted the Standardised Approach for Credit Risk and Market Risk, and the Basic Indicator Approach for
Operational Risk Computation.
The Groups capital requirements are generally based on the principles of consolidation adopted in the preparation of its financial
statements, as discussed in Note 2A to the financial statements, except where deductions from eligible capital are required under
BNMs RWCAF or where entities meet separation requirements set by BNM.
During the course of the year, the Bank and its banking subsidiaries did not experience any restrictions or other major impediments
on transfer of funds or regulatory capital within the Group.
3. CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND ADEQUACY

The Group monitors the capital adequacy position of the Bank and its banking subsidiaries to ensure compliance with the
requirements of BNM and to take prompt actions to address projected capital deficiency. The capital position is reviewed on a
monthly basis by undertaking stress tests and taking into account the levels and trend of material risks. The sufficiency of capital
is assessed against the various risks in the balance sheet as well as future capital requirements based on the Groups expansion
plans.
The Group has also formalised an overall capital management framework, which seeks to ensure that it is in line with Basel III
Capital Standards.
234
Financial Section
3. CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND ADEQUACY (CONTINUED)

The following table sets forth details on the capital resources, capital adequacy ratios and risk-weighted assets for the Group
and the Bank as at 30 June 2015. BNMs revised RWCAF-Basel II sets out the minimum capital adequacy ratios for the banking
institutions and the methodology for calculating these ratios. As at 30 June 2015, the Groups and the Banks CET I, Tier I capital
ratio and total capital ratio were higher than BNMs minimum requirements.
The constituents of total eligible capital for the Group and the Bank as at 30 June 2015 are set out in BNMs Capital Adequacy
Framework (Capital Components)-Basel III. These include shareholders funds after regulatory-related adjustments, and eligible
capital instruments issued by the Group. Refer to Note 23, Note 24 and Note 25 to the financial statements for the terms and
conditions of the main features of these capital instruments.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group has implemented an integrated risk management framework with the objective to ensure the overall financial
soundness and stability of the Groups business operations. The Groups integrated risk management framework outlines the
overall governance structure, aspiration, values and risk management strategies that balances between risk profiles and returns
objectives. Appropriate methodologies and measurements have been developed to manage uncertainties such that deviations
from intended strategic objectives are closely monitored and kept within tolerable levels.
As part of the integrated risk management framework, the Group has formulated and implemented an Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process (ICAAP) and a capital management framework to ensure that it maintains the appropriate level of capital,
the appropriate quality and structure of capital and the appropriate risk profile to support its strategic objectives. This also
includes determining the Groups minimum capital threshold and target capital levels.
From a governance perspective, the Board has the overall responsibility to define the Groups risk appetite and ensure that a robust
risk management and compliance culture prevails. The Board is assisted by the Board Risk Management Committee (BRMC)
in approving the Groups integrated risk management framework as well as the attendant capital management framework, risk
appetite statement, risk management strategies and risk policies.
Dedicated management level committees are established by the Group to oversee the development and the assessment of
effectiveness of risk management policies, to review risk exposures and portfolio composition as well as to ensure appropriate
infrastructures, resources and systems are put in place for effective risk management activities.
Operationally, the Group operates multiple lines of defences to effect a robust control framework. The business units being
the first line of defence are responsible for identifying, mitigating and managing risks within their lines of business. The Group
Integrated Risk Management & Compliance (GIRMC) function being the second line of defence, is responsible for setting the risk
management framework and developing tools and methodologies for the identification, measurement, monitoring, control and
mitigation of risks. In addition, GIRMC undertakes compliance validation to ensure that the business and operating units are in
compliance to the Groups risk appetite thresholds and to the regulatory requirements. The GIRMCs functions cover the oversight
of the following areas:- Market and Liquidity Risk, Credit Portfolio Risk, Technology and Operations Risk, ICAAP and Integrated
Stress Testing, Regulatory Compliance and Islamic Banking Risk and Compliance.
The Group Internal Audit function, being the third line of defence, is responsible to provide independent assurance on the
effective functioning of the risk management and internal controls framework for the Group.
The risk management process for each key risk area of the Group and the various risk exposures are described in the following
sections of the Pillar 3 disclosures.
242
Financial Section
4. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk arises as a result of customers or counterparties not being able to or willing to fulfil their financial and contractual
obligations as and when they fall due. These obligations arise from lending, trade finance and other activities undertaken by
the Bank.
The Group has established a credit risk management framework to ensure that exposure to credit risk is kept within the
Banks financial capacity to withstand potential future losses. Lending activities are guided by the internal credit policies
and guidelines that are reviewed and concurred by the Management Credit Committee (MCC), endorsed by the BRMC
and the Board Credit Supervisory Committee (BCSC), and approved by the Board. These policies are subject to review and
enhancements, at least on an annual basis.
Credit portfolio strategies and significant exposures are reviewed by both the BRMC and the Board. These portfolio strategies
are designed to achieve a desired portfolio risk tolerance level and sector distribution.
The Groups credit approving process encompasses pre-approval evaluation, approval and post-approval evaluation. While
the business units are responsible for credit origination, the credit approving function rests mainly with the Credit Evaluation
Departments, the MCC and the BCSC. The Board delegates approving and discretionary authority to the MCC and the various
personnel of the Bank based on job function and designation.
For any new products, credit risk assessment also forms part of the new product sign-off processes to ensure that the new
product complies with the appropriate policies and guidelines, prior to the introduction of the product.
The Groups exposure to credit risk is mainly from its retail customers, small and medium enterprise (SME), commercial
and corporate customers. The credit assessment for retail customers is managed on a portfolio basis and the risk scoring
models and lending templates are designed to assess the credit worthiness and the likelihood of the obligors to repay their
debts.
The SME, commercial and corporate customers are individually assessed and assigned with a credit rating, which is based
on the assessment of relevant factors such as the customers financial position, industry outlook, types of facilities and
collaterals offered.
Under the Basel II Standardised Approach, the Group makes use of credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies in its
calculation of credit risk weighted assets. This is applicable for exposures to sovereigns, central banks, public sector entities,
banking institutions, corporates as well as certain other specific portfolios.
The approved External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI) ratings and the prescribed risk weights on the above stated
asset classes are used in the computation of regulatory capital. An exposure would be deemed to have an external rating
if the issuer or the issue has a rating provided by an ECAI. In cases where an exposure does not have an issuer or issue
rating, the exposure shall be deemed unrated and shall be accorded a risk weight appropriate for unrated exposures in their
respective exposure category.
The ECAI used by the Bank are Fitch Ratings, Moodys Investors Service and Standard & Poors, Rating and Investment Inc
(R&I), Malaysia Rating Corporation Berhad (MARC) and Rating Agency Malaysia (RAM). ECAI ratings are mapped to a
common credit quality grade as prescribed by BNM.
In addition, the Bank also conducts periodic stress testing of its credit portfolios to ascertain credit risk impact to capital
under the relevant stress scenarios.

Credit risk mitigation

The Groups and the Banks credit principle is principally granting credit facilities on the basis of the borrowers credit
standing, repayment and debt servicing ability. Where possible, collateral is taken to mitigate and reduce any credit risk for
the particular credit facility extended. The value of the collateral is monitored periodically and where applicable, a revised
valuation may be requested from the borrower. The types of collateral accepted range from cash, marketable securities,
properties, machineries or equipments, inventory and receivables. In certain cases, corporate guarantees are obtained where
the credit worthiness of the corporate borrower is insufficient for amount sought. There are policies and processes in place to
monitor collateral concentration. For CRM purposes, only collateral or guarantees that are legally enforceable are taken into
account. The credit exposures are computed on a net basis only when there is a legally enforceable netting arrangements
for loans and deposits. The Group and the Bank use the Comprehensive Approach for computation of the adjusted exposures.

Off-Balance Sheet exposures and counterparty credit risk
Credit limits are established to ensure that the Group and the Bank are not duly exposed to unnecessary credit risk with
parties who are unable to meet or honour their financial obligations with the Group and the Bank.
The counterparty limits for the Group and the Bank are established by taking into consideration the tenor of the obligation,
rating assignment of the country, rating assignment of the counterparty, counterpartys shareholders funds, the Groups and
the Banks shareholders funds.
The credit exposure limit for derivative transactions is calculated based on the standardised approach by applying a specific
percentage of risk factor i.e. the potential loss of the contract value to the counterparty limit for the Group and the Bank,
which in general is a fraction of the derivative contract or notional amount used to express the volume of instruments.
To mitigate the counterparty risk for the derivative transactions, the Group and the Bank practice the cash margin call
exercise to cover mark-to-market exposures on outstanding derivative positions. The collateral agreement typically includes
a minimum threshold amount where additional collateral is required to be called by the Group and the Bank if the mark-to
market exposures exceed the agreed threshold amount.
In the normal course of business, the Group and the Bank make various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities
with legal recourse to their customers.
Nature of commitments and contingencies
Direct credit substitutes comprise guarantees undertaken by the Group and the Bank to support the financial obligations of
their customers to third parties.
Certain transactions related contingent items represent financial products whose crystallisations are dependent on specific
events other than default payment by the customers. They include performance related contingencies and standby letter of
credit.
Short-term self liquidating trade-related contingencies relate to bills of exchange which have been endorsed by the Group
and the Bank and represent liabilities in the event of default by the acceptors and the drawers of the bills.
Assets sold with recourse and commitments with certain drawdown represents assets sold by the Group and the Bank with
recourse in the event of defects in the assets, and investment or purchase commitments entered into by the Group and the
Bank, where drawdown is certain to occur.
Obligations under underwriting agreements arise from underwriting agreements relating to the issuance of equity and debts
securities, where the Group and the Bank are obliged to subscribe for or purchase the securities in the event the securities
are not taken up when issued.
Irrevocable commitments to extend credit include all obligations on the part of the Group and the Bank to provide funding
facilities or the undrawn portion of an approved credit facilities to customers.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are agreements to buy or sell fixed amounts of currency at agreed rates of exchange on
a specified future date.
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest obligations with a counterparty for a specified period without the
exchange of the underlying principal.

(B) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in financial instruments or the balance sheet due to adverse movements in market factors such
as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equities, spreads, volatilities and/or correlations.
The Bank adopts a systematic approach in managing such risks by types of instruments and nature of exposure. Market
risk is primarily controlled via a series of cut-loss limits and potential loss limits, i.e. Value at Risk (VaR). The amount of
market risk that the Bank is prepared to take for each financial year is based on the budget, business direction, its risk-taking
strategies, the impact on earnings and capital utilisation. These factors are used as a basis for setting market risk limits on
an overall Group and Bankwide basis.
Market risk limits, the monitoring and escalation processes, delegation of authority, model validation and valuation
methodologies are built into the Banks market risk policies, which are reviewed and concurred by ALCO, endorsed by the
BRMC and approved by the Board.
The main market risk limits are stop loss limits, VaR limits, counterparty limits, sensitivity limits, position/instrument limits
and holding period limits.
VaR is defined as the maximum loss at a specific confidence level over a specified period of time under normal market
conditions. The Bank computes the Historical Simulation VaR on a daily basis based on the recent 250-days of market
observations at a 99.0% confidence level.
Over the course of the financial year, the VaR of the banking groups trading book ranged between RM2.6 million to RM8.8
million with an average of RM4.9 million.
The Bank performs backtesting on VaR on a hypothetical and actual basis and the results are tabled to the ALCO and the
BRMC.
In addition, stress tests are conducted regularly on the trading book. In performing stress-testing, the Bank uses the following:
1) Scenario analysis, which is a combination of expected movements on risk factors.
2) Historical crisis event, which is based on actual movements that occurred in the relevant risk factors. The main risk
factors that are stressed are the KL Financial Bursa Composite Index, movements in interest rates for MYR, USD and other
major currencies, migration in ratings and Foreign Exchange spot and volatilities.
In managing the interest rate risk exposure in the banking book, the Bank adopts methodologies that measure exposure in
both earnings at risk perspective and economic value or capital at risk perspective.
(C) Liquidity risk

276
Liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the inability to fund increases in assets and/or meet financial obligations
as they fall due. Financial obligations arise from withdrawal of deposits, funding of loans committed and repayment of
borrowed funds. It is the Banks policy to ensure there is adequate liquidity across all business units to sustain ongoing
operations, as well as sufficient liquidity to fund asset growth and strategic opportunities.
Financial Section

(C) Liquidity risk (continued)

Besides adhering to the Regulatory Liquidity Requirement, the Bank has put in place a robust and comprehensive liquidity
risk management framework consisting of risk appetite, policies, triggers, limits and controls which are reviewed and
concurred by the ALCO, endorsed by the BRMC and approved by the Board. The key elements of the framework cover
proactive monitoring and management of cashflow, maintenance of high quality long-term and short-term marketable debt
securities, diversification of funding base as well as maintains a liquidity compliance buffer to meet any unexpected cash
outflows.
The Bank has in place liquidity contingency funding plans and stress test programs to minimise the liquidity risk that may
arise due to unforeseen adverse changes in the marketplace. Contingency funding plans set out the crisis escalation process
and the various strategies to be employed to preserve liquidity including an orderly communication channel during liquidity
crisis scenarios. Liquidity stress tests are conducted regularly to ensure there is adequate liquidity contingency fund to meet
the shortfalls during liquidity crisis scenarios.
In addition, the Bank also monitors the Net Stable Funding Ratio which is one of the key Basel III liquidity ratios in line with
the observation period reporting to BNM.
(D) Operational risk

Operational Risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from
external events.
Management oversight on operational risk management (ORM) and compliance matters are effected through the
Operational Risk Management and Compliance Committee (ORMCC) whilst Board oversight is effected through the BRMC.
The Banking Groups ORM strategy is based on a framework of continuous improvements, good governance structure,
policies and procedures as well as the employment of risk mitigation strategies. The Bank is further enhancing its ORM
tools such as loss event reporting, risk catalogue, control self assessment and key risk indicators in order to improve its
ORM.
The results of the ORM processes using the above tools are reported to both the BRMC and the ORMCC.
These tools are based on international best practices for the management of operational risks and are explained in more
detail below:
i)
Risk Catalogue (RC) records the operational risk profile of each Business/Support unit which enables them to proactively
manage operational risks.
ii) Control Self Assessment (CSA) provides the opportunity for the Business/Support units to identify and assess the
effectiveness of its current controls in mitigating operational risk.
iii) Key Risk Indicators (KRI) is a set of measures to allow the Bank to monitor and facilitate early detection of operational
risks.
iv) Loss Event Reporting (LER) is a process for collecting and reporting operational risk events. These are further used for
analysis of operational risks for the purpose of developing mitigating controls.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
277

(D) Operational risk (continued)

The operational risk mitigation strategies that are implemented at the Banking Group are:
i)
Policies, Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures that define the roles and responsibilities of personnel and their
respective operating limits.
ii) Insurance against operational losses as a form of risk mitigation especially for risks which are deemed as high
severity.
iii) System of controls, established to provide reasonable assurance of effective and efficient operation.
iv) Business Continuity Management to facilitate the continuance of business activities in the event of disaster or crisis
situations by means of ensuring appropriate redundancy of systems are available.
v) Processes to ensure compliance to laws, regulations, guidelines and policies.
(E) Financial hedges to mitigate interest rate risks

The following actions describe the accounting treatment for financial hedges that may be entered into to mitigate the
interest rate risk exposures of the Bank.
(i) Financial instruments designated as fair value through profit and loss

The Group and the Bank use derivative hedge instruments, such as interest rate swaps to economic hedge part of their
existing fixed rate loans to reduce the exposure on interest rate risk as part of its risk management strategy.
(ii) Fair value hedges

The Group and the Bank use interest rate swap as the hedge instruments to hedge the interest rate risk of fixed rate
loans exposure. The interest rate swap contracts used for the hedging are contracted with other financial institutions.
Further information relating to the fair value hedges are disclosed in Note 20 to the financial statements.
(iii) Cash flow hedges

The Group and the Bank use interest rate swap as the hedge instruments to hedge the variability of future cash flows
on fixed deposits portfolio.
Further information relating to the cash flow hedges are disclosed in Note 20 to the financial statements.
(iv) The accounting policies on derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting are disclosed in Note 2(k) to the
financial statements.

5. EQUITY EXPOSURES IN BANKING BOOK

The Groups and the Banks banking books equity investments consist of equity holdings in organisations which are set up for
specific socio-economic reasons and equity holdings and equity instruments received as a result of loan/financing restructuring
or loan/financing conversion.
The Groups and the Banks banking books equity investments are classified and measured in accordance with MFRS 139 and
are categorised as financial investments available-for-sale. Refer to Note 2D(i)(d) to the financial statements for the accounting
policies of the Group and the Bank.
Details of investments in financial investments available-for-sale of the Group and the Bank are set out in Note 6 to the financial
statements.

6. INTEREST RATE RISK/RATE OF RETURN RISK (IRR/RORR) IN THE BANKING BOOK

To evaluate the potential impact of interest/profit rate risk in the Banking Book, the Group and the Bank consider the effect on
both their earnings and underlying economic value. These two view points must be assessed to determine the full scope of the
Groups and the Banks interest/profit rate risk exposure.
The earnings perspective provides the impact of interest/profit rate changes on the Groups and the Banks reported earnings
i.e. a reduction in earnings caused by changes in interest/profit rates can reduce earnings, liquidity, and capital. This perspective
focuses on risk to earnings in the short term i.e. one year and will be reported through changes in the Groups and the Banks net
interest income (NII) i.e. the difference between total interest income and total interest expense. The changes in the Groups
and the Banks NII may vary depending on timing of reprising basis, and yield curve risks, and options position.
The application of earnings perspective solely may not be sufficient as the earnings perspective only take into account shortterm positions.
The economic perspective provides a measurement of the underlying value of the Groups and the Banks current position and
seeks to evaluate the sensitivity of that value to changes in interest/profit rates. This perspective will allow the Group and the
Bank to evaluate the changes in economic value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments against the movement
in interest/profit rate. The economic values of these instruments are equivalent to the instruments present value of future cash
flows.
By analysing the impact of interest/profit rate changes on the value of all future cash flows, the economic perspective can
provide a more comprehensive measurement of interest/profit rate risk than the earnings perspective. The future cash flow
projections used to estimate the economic exposure provides a pro forma estimate of the future income generated by its current
position. In general, the measurement of present value of the instrument will be able to give an overview of the Groups and the
Banks economic value of equity over a longer time period.
